22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: of a lot of really dangerous stuff that I think

23
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: is going to be coming in the next four or

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: five months. That Vinman is merely the first shoe to drop,

Speaker 1: smashed all the all the windows, and then there was

32
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: the Night of Long Knives. I think that was the

33
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: night they killed all their enemies. I feel like such

34
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,359

00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,120

Speaker 1: a patriot, you in turn our pot. Yes, um, Pete's

39
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: billionaires is trending. Uh because yeah, so this is something

40
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: I didn't know. By the way, Bernie's people good at

41
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: good at getting the word out about you know, they're

42
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: they're good at messaging things. Um, so they're in. Yeah,

43
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: they're logged in. They know how they they're good at

44
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: the hey fellow kids stuff. So yeah, that was well

45
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: put by me. Uh. So there was an article in

46
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: the New York Times about how scared the donor class

47
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: okay million in billionaires in San Francisco were about Bernie

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: potentially winning the nomination, and so they had a meeting

49
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: with them in San Francisco, and the person Leah Daughtry,

50
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: former Democratic Party official Chris Daughtry's niece. Yes, of course,

51
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: uh said, Uh, I think I freaked them out when

52
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: she mentioned Bernie being the nominee. She recalled with a chuckle. Uh,

53
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: and then that that assessment was confirmed by three other attendees. Uh,

54
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: they are hardly alone. And then they talked about how

55
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: there there have been meetings about specifically what to do

56
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: about Bernie among Democrats and some of the people who

57
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: had attended those gatherings with these big donors are spear

58
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, Rimp, she owned him though, you got

59
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: she clapped and know whoever told her what a gift

60
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: is should go to jail. Governor Terry mccauliffe of Virginia,

61
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what sound effect to make for him.

62
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: And Mayor Pete Buddha Edge of South Indiana himself presidential candidate. Dystopian. Yeah,

63
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: this is dystopian, this is god and it's like none

64
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: of this is like super surprising. I mean, I mean,

65
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad, I'm glad the information is at least out there.

66
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: The Bernie campaign did a pretty good job of making

67
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: that like little collage of Pete's billionaires and also I like,

68
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, almost framing it a little bit of Charlie's angels.

69
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: I would watch a network. Well that's the thing. I

70
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: read an article that was like, maybe Bernie Sanders isn't

71
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the guaranteed death for the Democratic Party that everybody assumes,

72
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: and like that he maybe he wouldn't automatically lose to

73
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: Trump if he was the nominee, And it was like

74
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: it was written by a person who was seriously considering

75
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: this for the first time. The one other thing I

76
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: mentioned was like he has people on his team who

77
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: are good memurs and like good at the internet. Shocking,

78
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: and yeah, they they it hadn't occurred to them. They're

79
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: like the same way that Trump has trolls on his team.

80
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: Bernie might too. Maybe that would be beneficial in a

81
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: modern election um, which shocking. Yeah, if, like if one

82
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: of the other Democratic candidates had tried to do a

83
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: thing about like Pete's millionaires or billionaires, like, I feel

84
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: like they would have added some weird slang term or

85
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: something that would have made it awkward. But you know,

86
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 1: because Bernie sanders Is supporters are themselves masses simple Pete's

87
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: billionaires and it but it worked. It was very effective. Yeah,

88
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: and god, I mean, a shady week for Mr Budda Jedge.

89
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: I know I'm seriously considering not voting for him, like

90
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: started with the shadow up just like, yeah, I feel

91
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: bad because I mentioned Pete Buda Judge like a year

92
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: and a half ago as a potential Democratic candidate. I

93
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: started all of this, you guys, it was all you Yeah, listen,

94
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: we were all in a very different place a year.

95
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: That was definitely the truth. I also think it's weird that,

96
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to our approach to comedy

97
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: in politics, we talked about on the daily, how was it.

98
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to see your hair in a blizzard that

99
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to see your hair in a blizzard. Remember

100
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: oh the joke teller Amy club Commedia Amy clochar So.

101
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: I started this campaign in a blizzard and I said

102
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump, I'd like to see your hair in

103
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: a blizzard. It's you know, it's will roaster all we

104
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: want for that. But it's good material. There's this weird

105
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: democratic attachment to It's like, why do we have this

106
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: weird attachment to needing bad material when it's like, oh,

107
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: we're using memers? Like how is that that's that's above board,

108
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: that's below, you know below watch to use memers. It's

109
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: like that, that's comedy. That's how it works these days. Yeah,

110
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: and I mean yeah Trump. Like one of the big

111
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: things Trump has in his one of the arrows he

112
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: has in his quiver a weird phrase I hadn't just said,

113
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like it any more than you do.

114
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to bleep that word out, yeah, thank you,

115
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: is that he makes his supporters laugh like that's a

116
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: they think he's hilarious. So um. I mean, as as

117
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: all businesses are multifaceted, politics happened to be multifaceted as well.

118
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: And adding a little humor is not the worst thing

119
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: in the world. Everything you needed to know about uh

120
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: politics you could have learned from that Robin Williams movie

121
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: with Chris Christopher Walkin where Man of the Year, she's

122
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: a comedian. It's like, what if Jon Stewart ran for president?

123
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: Fucking so tight it was like Height of the Daily

124
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: Show ran for president on we there uh and in

125
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: eild it included Christopher Walkin watching Robin william give a

126
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: speech and going boom yeah, like just like being uh

127
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: sort of dramatizing the act of watching comedy in a

128
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: way that was very authentic to me. I always experienced

129
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: comedy out loud with booms and yeah and pals. So

130
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: Kesha is trending okay because a judge rule that a

131
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: text she sent to Lady Gaga it was defamatory. Um

132
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: yeah it God, I just I feel so deeply for

133
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Kesha has been uh in and out of

134
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: court for Dr Luke related things for years. It is

135
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: like well documented that he was very abusive towards her,

136
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: trapped her in a contract, and this seems like I'm

137
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: not super well informed on the hyper specifics of but

138
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, given the nature of the the alleged crimes

139
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Dr Luke has um done to Kesha in the past

140
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: versus a defamation suit for texts. Um, it's just like

141
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: absurd and I just justice for Kesha. Couldn't agree more.

142
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: It's just deeply sad and showing the kind of like

143
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: nickel and diming, that we will do to get out

144
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: of trouble when the spotlight is you know, due to

145
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: money in your favor, like the fact that you have

146
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: the power to control these things to your benefit. It's

147
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: disgusting and um, I hope more people were aware. Yeah,

148
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: and I just I mean she it's just so it's

149
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: not a good week for uh women trying to get

150
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: justice in court as if it. I mean, it's never

151
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: a good week, but it's a particularly bad week. Um.

152
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: There was something I read, okay, listen to on a

153
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: podcast years ago. It was the Risk, Uh something I

154
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: listened to myself say on an old podcast about like

155
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: a legal reform to make it more common sense and

156
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: less like that, like less uh just based on who

157
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: could afford the most expensive lawyer. But like that, that

158
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: seems like the sort of thing that you would want

159
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: to have the ability for a judge to be like, yeah,

160
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: but this guy was horribly abusive to this woman. So

161
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: even if in this very specific, hyper focused incident instance,

162
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: a text message could be seen as defamatory, like let's

163
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: let's just look the other way, let's prosecute the more

164
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: serious crime from right. Um yeah, yeah, I mean, because

165
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: it's like nothing has happened to Dr Luke, nothing nothing

166
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: right now, It's like Kesh is going to get this

167
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: like whatever legal slap on the wrist of uh, I

168
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: don't know. Uh. And finally we're saying our right, Peter Swagger,

169
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:08,239
Speaker 1: who is the Cleveland Browns mascot, uh, an actual doggie

170
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: that they uh that they had as their mascot who

171
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: passed away. It's just been a bad it's been a

172
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: rough week. Shout out to all the Zeke gang who

173
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: reached out about my doggie passing. Uh. And it seems

174
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are going through a similar

175
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: thing right now. Um, so yeah, shouts out to you

176
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: guys if if you've recently lost a pet. It's it's

177
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: very difficult, but I appreciate your your well wishes and yeah,

178
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: don't be ashamed of it. Just talk to people, talk

179
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: to your friends about it. It's okay to be sad

180
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: about your dog dying. You feel your feelings. Uh. So

181
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: on that note, let's end this week of podcasts uh
