Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Even the Cowboy Carter tour, there was so much smoking
Speaker 2: imagery coming from her. I was like, what the fuck? Like,
Speaker 2: I was really like, cigarettes are back, and Beyonce's saying
Speaker 2: cigarettes are back.
Speaker 4: She wanted people to stop eating meat, and now she's like,
Speaker 4: never mind cigarettes, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Never mind, let's just let's just have some cognac. So
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that. Uh, and then we are just
Speaker 2: dystopia becoming realer by the day and more vivid and stupider.
Speaker 2: The ice reality show that Christy Nome is teaming up
Speaker 2: with the producer of Duck Dynasty for that's ay we
Speaker 2: will talk about because somehow that Daily Mail is the
Speaker 2: outlet that got their hands on the fucking pitch deck
Speaker 2: for this legitimate TV production they're trying to like get
Speaker 2: made green lay it's I can't even okay. I'll tease
Speaker 2: the story by saying they're coming up with a reality
Speaker 2: show where contestants vy for a American citizenship as the
Speaker 2: grand prize. There will be only one winner and then
Speaker 2: it will turn into the running man.
Speaker 4: I have a very controversial take. You gotta wait for.
Speaker 2: It, and it's coming up in the third act. Don't skip,
Speaker 2: don't skip, don't skip.
Speaker 4: Unless I run my mouth so much in the fact
Speaker 4: one and two, we don't even get.
Speaker 2: To it that you or you figure it out. Who
Speaker 2: knows either way? Here we are.
Speaker 5: Reality, so you get bagged and actually, yeah, baby, uh Francisco,
Speaker 5: what's something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 5: you are?
Speaker 4: So I was looking at my duck duck go, which
Speaker 4: is what I used to search things, obviously because maximum privacy,
Speaker 4: maximum quackery.
Speaker 2: M h and uh.
Speaker 4: I found this search history that was like from a
Speaker 4: few days ago that was just baby airplanes overhead. I
Speaker 4: was like, what the fuck was I looking?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Can you think about like when I say those three words,
Speaker 4: what was I trying to look up? Baby? Oh, it's
Speaker 4: for overhead.
Speaker 1: One of those things for a crib like.
Speaker 2: No, no, like a mobile, like a mobile? No, a mobile? Baby? Okay,
Speaker 2: baby airplanes overhead. So it's it's not a mobile airplane mobile.
Speaker 2: It's that you were looking for maybe some kind of
Speaker 2: baby accessory that could go in the overhead. Yes, like
Speaker 2: a stroller.
Speaker 4: I was image searching because back in like the sixties, right,
Speaker 4: you know, airline travel was a lot calmer. It was
Speaker 4: a lot chiller. Like now, you know, climate change is
Speaker 4: ruined all the jet streams and you know, everything's crazy turbulence,
Speaker 4: say nothing of the FAA. But back in the day,
Speaker 4: they would put babies in the overhead compartment like a
Speaker 4: little sling and they could just sleep there. And look,
Speaker 4: I don't of course, it wasn't safe. Nothing was safe.
Speaker 4: There weren't even car seats back then. But like, it's
Speaker 4: just so I love the image of that. And I
Speaker 4: was sending it to a mom friend of mine, like,
Speaker 4: you know what happened? America used to be great?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, we're chicken shit now you.
Speaker 4: You've seen them, right, they're just like like little baby
Speaker 4: and you can't I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, Oh my god, so crazy. Shout out to man,
Speaker 2: Shout out to the sixties man, like, yeah, we're smoking
Speaker 2: a yeah.
Speaker 1: Beyon bringing it back. Maybe she'll bring that back.
Speaker 2: Too, Yeah, bring back babies in overhead.
Speaker 4: That's so good in the fifties. Look at that baby.
Speaker 4: See there's then there's plenty of space. Now you're just
Speaker 4: figuring out how to squeeze in a coach.
Speaker 2: God damn it. When America used to be some we
Speaker 2: had Jim Crow laws and babies could be in the
Speaker 2: overhead exactly.
Speaker 4: Take us back, Beyonce, so funny, baby overhead.
Speaker 2: Baby overhead, shout out overhead projectors too. Did you guys have, Francisca,
Speaker 2: I know you're requisitely elder enough to remember overhead projectors
Speaker 2: for school? Oh they still do those? Oh yeah, you
Speaker 2: had them too? Oh hell yeah, okay, so they still
Speaker 2: fuck with overhead projectors with the visa V pens on
Speaker 2: a transparency I think it's a It's.
Speaker 4: An easier way than like a whiteboard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't have to get up You're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: let me just write on this light box? Mean?
Speaker 4: Or are you just using your computer these days? I
Speaker 4: love just watching the teacher's hand like erase everything they
Speaker 4: just wrote. If they were a lefty, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: This smudge yeah yeah, or they had to do that
Speaker 2: like crazy hook hand to be like, I will not
Speaker 2: smear the ink that I'm writing. It's a poor lefties man,
Speaker 2: poor lefties indeed. Yeah, I can't election can barely get
Speaker 2: people to trying to say, what's some any thing is underrated.
Speaker 4: Francesca underrated, so I don't know if it's underrated yet.
Speaker 4: So this is maybe jumping the gun, but I just
Speaker 4: want to name. I'm a really big Caliu Cheese fan.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she is, you know, Colombian American singer. She's
Speaker 4: just got like this gorgeous, amazing voice. I love a
Speaker 4: good female vocalist. And I was about to sleep on
Speaker 4: her new album because I was like, she's a mom.
Speaker 4: I literally judged as a mother another mother, going like
Speaker 4: this one's probably not that good because I didn't feel
Speaker 4: very creative in the first year of my kid's life.
Speaker 4: I felt like I didn't write, don't right. But then
Speaker 4: so then I was like that that's probably nothing good.
Speaker 4: I fucking listened to it, and it just like blew
Speaker 4: my mind. It's beautiful. And I realized, actually, if you're
Speaker 4: a songwriter and you're like singing lullabies to a baby,
Speaker 4: it's nothing but creativity because all you do is like
Speaker 4: make up songs for a kid, and and it just
Speaker 4: it's just it's equal parts Bond, Amy Winehouse, Elvis Presley,
Speaker 4: but with Kylie Ucci's and it's so beautiful and like,
Speaker 4: I don't know efeal. I don't know what the word is,
Speaker 4: but I'm like, I'm I love this new album. So
Speaker 4: I'm blaming myself for for preemptively underrating this new album.
Speaker 1: Okay, her album is great, but the baby's not so good. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have the album baby.
Speaker 2: Something to do like the health of the child. I
Speaker 2: was like, what, Noah, the baby's very.
Speaker 1: Mid the album gonna pretty. The baby not her best work,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's adorable.
Speaker 2: She is she showing face or no, she's doing the
Speaker 2: right thing.
Speaker 4: I think she's doing like covering face. I decided to
Speaker 4: get rid of that recently because I was like, you know,
Speaker 4: I had this moment. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 4: my fucking kid is so cute right now. I don't
Speaker 4: think she's ever she might not even be cuter, you know, like.
Speaker 1: But also it's been posting bits with the baby since
Speaker 1: like last Year's totally right, you're not wrong.
Speaker 4: But I would always cover it. And I was like,
Speaker 4: you know what, why she's adorable here, like take all
Speaker 4: of her you know, facial show the guy.
Speaker 2: But this motherfucker is so litigious. Man, he was his lawyer,
Speaker 2: will get my just get Yeah, he's a fucking diva. Man,
Speaker 2: what can I do? Yeah? Anyway, Francesca, what's the me?
Speaker 1: Thing?
Speaker 2: Is underrated?
Speaker 4: Overrated?
Speaker 2: Oh? Overrated? Yeah? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: And why you you know New York University is over.
Speaker 2: As someone school certainly is that exempt.
Speaker 4: As someone who went to NYU, as someone who graduated
Speaker 4: from Gallatin, the school that Logan Rossos got graduated from,
Speaker 4: the valedictorian who has then since denied his diploma for
Speaker 4: speaking about Gaza during his speech. Let me just say
Speaker 4: I knew it at the time. It is insanely overpriced.
Speaker 4: It is a bullshit school. It is like there is
Speaker 4: no campus. You're simply paying for the privilege of living
Speaker 4: in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 1: Timothy Chalamy gave most of them chlamydia. That's a rumor, but.
Speaker 2: I like reading it.
Speaker 4: I fully believe that.
Speaker 2: But you can hang out in Washington Square Park.
Speaker 4: No, you know, I got my ass grab in Washington
Speaker 4: Square Park like this. You should know a seventeen eighteen
Speaker 4: year old should not be going to NYU. And the
Speaker 4: kids are so dumb. And I was a create like
Speaker 4: I was a rabbit, anti war activist. Nine to eleven
Speaker 4: happened my first year, got involved in the anti Iraq
Speaker 4: war movement. It's Afghanistan war movement. Like I was skipping
Speaker 4: classes left and right. I had, you know, my own.
Speaker 4: NYU was a real yeah hotbed. We were we were
Speaker 4: we were like you know, doing sit ins and dyings
Speaker 4: and details, and we.
Speaker 2: An incubator for extremism. It was a total.
Speaker 4: Incubator for extremism. But it is so as a school,
Speaker 4: it is so fucking overrated. Do not pay for that school.
Speaker 4: Do not send your kid to that school. There is
Speaker 4: no campus. Like the part of the thing about going
Speaker 4: to school is like you like, sit on a grassy
Speaker 4: lawn and read a book. You can't do that anywhere
Speaker 4: in New York at NYU, and I just I love
Speaker 4: uh sounds like Zach Woods a Grassy Knoll franchise, Yes,
Speaker 4: the Grassy Knol and get get radicalized.
Speaker 2: You've been yearning for a knoll to perch.
Speaker 4: Upon pretty much, I mean ever since. But yeah, the
Speaker 4: actor Zach Woods has an incredible, hilarious takedown of NYU
Speaker 4: and what they just did and just talking about it
Speaker 4: being like an overrated cliche of a fucking school.
Speaker 2: It's underrated. How many comedians come out of fucking n
Speaker 2: y U. I think a lot of people don't realize
Speaker 2: that there's just like a whole school. It's like a
Speaker 2: whole school mafia, like in Hollywood. So many people coming
Speaker 2: out of I'm like.
Speaker 4: They talking about that they knew they were going to
Speaker 4: be a mafia. But A Seasons went to Stern Business
Speaker 4: School during the same around the same time I went
Speaker 4: to stun And all I did when I.
Speaker 2: Was no way and now you're only podcasting.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say that it's funny because all
Speaker 4: I did is an undergrad at NYU was get into
Speaker 4: arguments with Stern Business School dipshits about free market capitalism
Speaker 4: and like in my colonialism studies classes and all these
Speaker 4: you know assholes. Right, I'm assuming Disease was just more
Speaker 4: of a chill like kept his head down kind of
Speaker 4: Stern Business School. But really funny that he became a comic.
Speaker 2: Hey man just doing sick. It's just like raising his
Speaker 2: voice and doing inflections at random moments. Dude, Oh fucking yeah.
Speaker 4: Well that's seventy five percent of a comedian's job. That
Speaker 4: is twenty is posting clips.
Speaker 2: Who is it? Someone there was someone who like roasted
Speaker 2: Rogan to their face about that it's like if you're
Speaker 2: humping the air, like you're not a like you've lost
Speaker 2: you've lost it all.
Speaker 3: If you're humping Nick Jessel Nick.
Speaker 2: No, it was like an older comedian. It was like
Speaker 2: an og and it was like kind of er or something.
Speaker 2: I forget who it was, but like he had Rogan
Speaker 2: on as a guest or he was as a guest
Speaker 2: and just said it to Joe Rogan's face, like that's
Speaker 2: his whole schnick is humping a stool. And then it
Speaker 2: was just kind of like, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get that, sure, Like sometimes I haven't seen
Speaker 4: a single Rogan bit, but did he Is he a
Speaker 4: stool humper?
Speaker 2: He's a stool humper.
Speaker 1: I feel like I saw his special, But I also
Speaker 1: feel like I haven't seen a single Rogan bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've only seen it from seeing like cut downs
Speaker 2: of other like luckily on YouTube, there's a whole ecosystem
Speaker 2: where people were like, look, we get it. You know,
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan sucks. Here's let me do a fucking escape
Speaker 2: of how bad his last special it was. And you're like,
Speaker 2: like a cam exactly exactly, exactly exact.
Speaker 3: Jeff Garland said, that is what're.
Speaker 2: Saying Jeff Garland. Yep, that's what it was. It was
Speaker 2: Jeff Garland. It's just like to his face. Anyway, let's
Speaker 2: take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll talk
Speaker 2: Trump's big beautiful bill that's an ugly piece of fucking shit.
Speaker 2: Right after this and we're back. Trump's tax bill was
Speaker 2: finally it got out of committee over the weekend. It
Speaker 2: died on Friday, and I was like, oh, look at
Speaker 2: this chip Roy found a backbone. I mean, he's always
Speaker 2: been a pretty big deficit hawk, but he like him
Speaker 2: along with I think six other Republicans tanked it on Friday,
Speaker 2: only for them to do whatever they had to do,
Speaker 2: because you know, Jesus jerk off eye. Speaker of the
Speaker 2: House Mike Johnson was like, what do you guys need
Speaker 2: for me to for for for you guys to at
Speaker 2: least let this thing get out of committee. Apparently they
Speaker 2: made I was like.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a my pillow guy.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was a disparent.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 2: Well, no, I think as long as we came together
Speaker 2: with a common sort of understanding about how we're going
Speaker 2: to move forward with this.
Speaker 4: Now, I'm sorry Obama going with this story.
Speaker 2: He's very but Mike Johnson is very one note like that,
Speaker 2: and it's very you know, you're the same. Look, man,
Speaker 2: I don't even do a good.
Speaker 1: Obama, but Coolidge Miles do it.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm back. So anyway, this thing is now,
Speaker 2: This is now the real fucking this is the this
Speaker 2: is the time. Are they going to ram through this
Speaker 2: reconciliation bill that basically has all of the things Donald
Speaker 2: Trump want for his agenda right? Like, he needs he
Speaker 2: needs to make sure that the Trump tax cuts don't expire.
Speaker 2: He wants to increase military and immigrant harassment spending. He
Speaker 2: needs a bigger budget for that. He needs to raise
Speaker 2: the debt ceiling because I mean, I thought this was
Speaker 2: to attack the debt, but also we need we kind
Speaker 2: of needed some room there to have a higher deficit.
Speaker 2: And then part of all that is to power this
Speaker 2: by slashing so many social programs it even makes Republican
Speaker 2: members of Congresses. I believe they're like, I, this actually
Speaker 2: will decimate rural healthcare systems if we do this, what
Speaker 2: am I supposed to do? So this was all happening.
Speaker 2: Moody's also downgraded our credit rating, just you know, sure,
Speaker 2: that's fine, It's fine. It's all just fine, but there's
Speaker 2: still just a ton of disagreement, like within the party,
Speaker 2: Like there's some that are arguing, like these cuts aren't
Speaker 2: deepened off, we need no one to have not seing
Speaker 2: is one strategy. Then other people like, you know, cutting
Speaker 2: medicaid is a non starter for me, There's no way
Speaker 2: I can go to my district and be like, yeah, man, you're.
Speaker 1: Fucked terrified of the town halls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, already already. And then others take an issue with
Speaker 2: like the number of clean energy projects that are being gutted.
Speaker 2: Some are saying not enough clean energy projects are being gutted.
Speaker 2: There's this. Then you have all the New York, New Jersey,
Speaker 2: California Republicans who are like, we need our salt tax
Speaker 2: cap raised or abolished completely. So everyone has like their
Speaker 2: own specific thing. How Mike Johnson makes all of this
Speaker 2: work we are yet to see. But he has pressure
Speaker 2: because he's been telling Trump, I'm gonna have this on
Speaker 2: your desk by Memorial Day, baby, so we can really
Speaker 2: fucking kick this thing off. But yeah, is so.
Speaker 4: Interesting is that, like they could just do this the
Speaker 4: way they did the first Trump tax cuts, which is
Speaker 4: be utter hypocrites about the deficit, which is again kind
Speaker 4: of largely made up depending on how you look at it,
Speaker 4: and just ram them through anyway, and add four trillion
Speaker 4: more dollars to the deficit like those tax cuts.
Speaker 2: Did, and ave five five five billion.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you. Yeah, you could write off your sixty
Speaker 4: million dollars private jet. That was one of the many
Speaker 4: things in addition to your yachts. But the fact that
Speaker 4: they're trying, they want to do this big, beautiful bill.
Speaker 4: They're trying to do everything in budget reconciliation, remember, which
Speaker 4: was where also the Democrats in twenty twenty one tried
Speaker 4: to get through like a fifteen dollars minimum wage and
Speaker 4: then Kirsten Centima voted that shit down. But like, this
Speaker 4: is what's so difficult about all this is that you
Speaker 4: can't please every single person, and you're being totally dishonest
Speaker 4: because all this bill is about is simply a wealth
Speaker 4: transfer to the richest people. So stop talking about medicaid.
Speaker 4: Don't even make it about medicaid. Find the money somewhere else,
Speaker 4: or don't find it at all. Just live in your
Speaker 4: own hypocrisy.
Speaker 2: This is going to help man when all the billionaires
Speaker 2: get a tax cut it's gonna trickle fucking in a direction.
Speaker 2: It will trickle.
Speaker 1: Someone understand, I want to be a richer while immigrants
Speaker 1: skip poor.
Speaker 2: This is great want people. Okay, this is for you.
Speaker 2: This bills for you. Actually we found something. There's a
Speaker 2: whole trillion dollars to terrorize immigrants in here.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is really important. Yeah, I mean that's fucking insane.
Speaker 4: Well the same time, you're like, oh, sorry, we can't
Speaker 4: so not only is a direct wealth transfer to the
Speaker 4: wealthy already wealthy, it's a wealth transfer to you're not
Speaker 4: going to have healthcare, disabled person, poor child, new mother
Speaker 4: you were, because we have to round up children and
Speaker 4: women and grandmothers with all of this, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2: Three year old's immigration court.
Speaker 1: Do you think can hunt island costs nothing? We're hunting
Speaker 1: men on the island.
Speaker 2: How do we how do we populate said island?
Speaker 1: We have to set out the mines. That's expensive.
Speaker 2: There's like, you know, reporting that. Trump is definitely trying
Speaker 2: to manage all of it too. Like it sounds like
Speaker 2: the people that are sort of in battleground districts he's
Speaker 2: kind of becoming a little more sensitive to because he
Speaker 2: does not want to lose a Chamber of Congress in
Speaker 2: the midterms, Like that's a huge thing for him. So
Speaker 2: even now he's kind of like trying to be like,
Speaker 2: what the how do I fucking have it all ways
Speaker 2: at the same time, because he definitely doesn't want to
Speaker 2: have a bunch of Democrats and have enough power to
Speaker 2: do investigations and he has to defend himself against you know,
Speaker 2: his own fucking actions.
Speaker 1: But then so he wriggled out of that.
Speaker 4: Just fine, Yeah, yeah, don't worry. They won't anyway, even
Speaker 4: with the majority. Yeah, saw what happened in the last
Speaker 4: four years. Oh my god, remember that when they beg
Speaker 4: you for your vote again, be like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Sorry, what happened last time? And what will you do
Speaker 2: different this time? You're like, well, we aren't them at least, Oh,
Speaker 2: we're back to the same thing. You're not them.
Speaker 4: We're gonna slowly think about possibly holding Donald Trump accountable.
Speaker 4: But democracy, let's decided by the ballad box.
Speaker 1: A just give me five dollars, just for the love
Speaker 1: of god, I just need five more dollars.
Speaker 4: I'm upset as you are.
Speaker 2: There was a video of her recently. I thought was
Speaker 2: a I I was I'm not mostly because.
Speaker 4: It would be the first congress person to.
Speaker 2: It was the cadence. I was like, it's a little jilted, Like,
Speaker 2: I was like, what's going on.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, it got left at the altar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's she was. She was just I don't know
Speaker 2: how that came out, but yeah.
Speaker 4: Just being an asshole.
Speaker 2: No, No, I love it, and I think I do
Speaker 2: want to think of it like that. She was left
Speaker 2: at the altar, you know, and that's why she talks
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 4: Her dentures, her dentres were like sorry, but yeah.
Speaker 2: So the other thing too, is like a lot of
Speaker 2: the shitty cuts that are being proposed, like cuts to
Speaker 2: snap or like Medicaid, they're timing those so they don't
Speaker 2: hit until the end of his turn to basically make
Speaker 2: a fucking catastrophe for the next administration, which could be.
Speaker 4: Him exactly want to run again.
Speaker 2: But it's weird. He's doing the sort of maneuvering as
Speaker 2: if he's like, man, I'm gonna be out after this,
Speaker 2: but at least we can reset the clock on making
Speaker 2: the Democrats be responsible for a financial situation we could
Speaker 2: be doing.
Speaker 1: He's acting as so he's going to be out in
Speaker 1: like another month, like with the amount of shit he's
Speaker 1: done so far, totally.
Speaker 4: So I mean that's what's crazy about this whole And
Speaker 4: it has like been only over a few whatever, like
Speaker 4: three and a half days.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Like it's just like Brint, not a marathon,
Speaker 1: and we're like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, flow your role. There's plenty of time to
Speaker 4: destroy everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah past yourself. Hello, Like don't burn all your capital,
Speaker 2: your political capital like that in one go. It stretched
Speaker 2: it out a little bit. Don't do this big, beautiful
Speaker 2: bil I mean.
Speaker 4: This is what they're doing, right, because this is they
Speaker 4: could not in twenty seventeen cut Obamacare. That was remember
Speaker 4: the town hall's there, so.
Speaker 2: They have to kill it indirectly.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, but it is still a massive swing to
Speaker 4: even say the word medicaid. I mean, good on media
Speaker 4: whatever is left of it for making that the sole issue.
Speaker 4: But some Republicans are walking into that trap of being like, well, medicaid,
Speaker 4: you know a lot of people are lying when they're
Speaker 4: on it, and they're openly saying this, the disabled people
Speaker 4: are lying about it, right, and it's like mm m
Speaker 4: ooh that's not going to play well at all. So
Speaker 4: Donaldan should be fucking worried. And I think this is
Speaker 4: where the pressure points are. I don't give a shit
Speaker 4: about the other ones who are like, oh, we haven't
Speaker 4: felt enough, cut shut up. It's the people who are
Speaker 4: scared of their own constituents.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who know they're like this has this, there will
Speaker 2: be fallof and this. Like even Josh Holly's like, y'all
Speaker 2: don't fucking medicaid. I don't know, bro, And I'll do
Speaker 2: the thing where I sound like I'm going to be
Speaker 2: the first one out to try and get myself covered
Speaker 2: to act like the most sane guy in the Senate
Speaker 2: by being the first one to be like, that's political suus.
Speaker 2: I would not do that. That's immoral. And then but
Speaker 2: I won't stop it if it happens exactly, But will you.
Speaker 1: Need to backtrack and get back in Trump's graces later,
Speaker 1: Like everybody has done it. So it's a lot easier
Speaker 1: to go out and object and then go back in.
Speaker 4: But the groceries, you know, it's such an old fashioned termline.
Speaker 2: When I came out, but that term, I remember, the
Speaker 2: year was eighteen fifty nine. I came up with the
Speaker 2: term groceries. It was a fantastic day.
Speaker 1: Eat those groceries.
Speaker 4: We were right in the precipice of the Civil War.
Speaker 2: I was doing It's just god, yeah, I was doing
Speaker 2: Lingis on one of my friends.
Speaker 1: And I realized, I said, I did the best Jana Lingis.
Speaker 2: I didn't have a thing of saying I ate the
Speaker 2: ass light and then aha groceries.
Speaker 1: You know, I taught o Mari on those those movies.
Speaker 2: It just wasn't hitting when I said I ate the
Speaker 2: ass like my hull when I got back from the
Speaker 2: general store with salt, pork and the like included, and
Speaker 2: I needed something a little bit more concise.
Speaker 3: I also gave him the idea for ice box.
Speaker 2: So one of the things like for just just the
Speaker 2: things that are timed differently, like snap benefits, right, Uh,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't shift the cost to the states for snap
Speaker 2: benefits until fiscal year twenty twenty eight Medicaid work requirements
Speaker 2: that Republicans are being like, this will this will be
Speaker 2: like a good three hundred billion dollars hit of savings
Speaker 2: that won't begin until twenty twenty nine. So they're doing
Speaker 2: They're trying to do as much too, with also sweeteners
Speaker 2: to be like there'll be a new senior Victory Fund
Speaker 2: grant you can get or a baby.
Speaker 1: Reinventing the shit that we already have.
Speaker 2: They's just well, I don't like but even the thing
Speaker 2: like right, like the the cutting the taxes on tips
Speaker 2: and things like that, those aren't even while he did
Speaker 2: say that, and it's popular, like the economists that like
Speaker 2: are talking about this are saying like it's not gonna
Speaker 2: be that big of a thing. This is quote. It
Speaker 2: says the proposed tax cuts only apply to income taxes,
Speaker 2: not payroll taxes. That means the estimated thirty seven percent
Speaker 2: of tipped workers in the country who didn't make enough
Speaker 2: money to face federal income taxes in twenty twenty two
Speaker 2: that's when this analysis happened, would see no benefits from
Speaker 2: this proposal. This is another economistic quote. It is also
Speaker 2: going to do very little for workers even that received
Speaker 2: tips at the low to middle part of the income
Speaker 2: distribution tax.
Speaker 4: Relacis or center tips accurately if at all.
Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah, literally just dangling Keith, hoping we'll get distracted.
Speaker 2: Sure, truly truly, like there's a lot of stuff that
Speaker 2: they want to be like, look, everything that's gonna be
Speaker 2: great now, but only to throw money on like, you know,
Speaker 2: this is different than twenty seventeen when like interest rates
Speaker 2: weren't as high, like getting going even further into the
Speaker 2: muck with like this dumb like all this ridiculous spending
Speaker 2: is just gonna keep us pretty entrenched in this this
Speaker 2: situation we're in, if not worse, maybe who knows. But again,
Speaker 2: the thing that can potentially be on the side of
Speaker 2: maintaining the terrible status quo we have now is that
Speaker 2: just all the Republican infighting. But Trump is determined because again,
Speaker 2: none of his policies are popular enough to just pick
Speaker 2: on a vote on its own. So it has, like
Speaker 2: to your point, Francesca, it has to happen through reconciliation.
Speaker 2: Because he's said, hey, I need a one trillion dollar
Speaker 2: let's terrorize the immigrants fund. They're gonna say get like, no,
Speaker 2: no one's gonna fucking vote.
Speaker 4: They're also gonna say, how you're gonna pay for it? Right,
Speaker 4: And so that's why they have to do it by
Speaker 4: cutting Medica, which then yeah, but this has always been
Speaker 4: the Republican's problem when they're in the majority too, they're
Speaker 4: always infighting because you know, it's all between you know,
Speaker 4: the budget hawks, and then just like the anti immigrant
Speaker 4: psychos who are like, hey, we didn't take down every
Speaker 4: single gay flag in this bill, didn't say to, you know,
Speaker 4: burn them. So I'm not going to vote for this.
Speaker 4: And everyone's got their little pet issue, but they again
Speaker 4: I can't believe again we're still like we've stopped talking
Speaker 4: about Elon a little bit, but like we should not.
Speaker 4: You know, the dozer is A is doing are still
Speaker 4: and the access to our information is still very alive.
Speaker 2: We talked about that on yesterday's episode about how like
Speaker 2: there's this article in Politico that's trying to act like
Speaker 2: Elon's gone away, and I'm like, you guys are fucking
Speaker 2: playing yourselves and their readers by being like and he's gone.
Speaker 2: Trump doesn't even talk about him. It's like there's again
Speaker 2: Trump is not turning his back on the richest man
Speaker 2: in the world who got him into office and who
Speaker 2: knows what other fucking shit that he helped enable like just
Speaker 2: with his money and influence, like to then be like
Speaker 2: and and now like none of the Republicans are talking
Speaker 2: about it's like you're just gearing up for mid terms,
Speaker 2: so people can't be like Elon Musk is doing all
Speaker 2: this stuff, but let's be real, he's staying he's a
Speaker 2: stain on fucking everything.
Speaker 3: Yep, no Elon's gone. We're fine on that. And Biden
Speaker 3: was actually a good guy. And don't look at his reel.
Speaker 3: It's not doing anything right now, don't worry about it
Speaker 3: even do anything.
Speaker 2: They're just you know, there's just a terrible spike in
Speaker 2: the humanitarian crisis there with the lack of any just
Speaker 2: like they're continuing to bomb hospitals. Nothing has changed nothing.
Speaker 2: So anyway, we'll see what happens with this endeavor that
Speaker 2: the Republicans are, you know, getting ready to undertake this week.
Speaker 2: So hopefully, I don't know, hopefully it fizzles out, but
Speaker 2: they're gonna they're definitely gonna do fucking everything they can
Speaker 2: to try and get as many Yes, well it's as possible,
Speaker 2: but the margins are thin, like Walmart's profits margins, as
Speaker 2: they say, that's why they're worried about the tariffs next one.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, if you say the clip of
Speaker 2: like Bruce Springsteen just like just you know, doing like
Speaker 2: very boilerplate criticism of Donald Trump. He's like he's a
Speaker 2: moral he's corrupt.
Speaker 1: DeNiro like DeNiro's taking a stand against him. Just that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, at least he said funk. That guy
Speaker 2: made Bruce was hey, man, this guy's bad, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's true. I think he was in the UK when
Speaker 2: he said that.
Speaker 4: So that was there's some things happening, not good things
Speaker 4: in the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some bad stuff like what specifically, I'm a little
Speaker 2: too insulated to know specifically what things, but I hear
Speaker 2: it's bad and corrupt.
Speaker 3: Podcast partner used to tell me some stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh, Barry used to tell me some wild stuff man,
Speaker 2: about the the way that we can use drones now
Speaker 2: to do ship I had no idea, had no idea
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: I'm talking about some other stuff.
Speaker 2: Donald Donald Dump. That's him. He's back. So he said this.
Speaker 2: This set off a fucking truth social storm on Monday
Speaker 2: morning at one thirty four a m. This is what
Speaker 2: Trump just for whatever reason, starts shit posting quote. How
Speaker 2: much did Kamala Harris pay Bruce Springsteen for his poor
Speaker 2: performance during her campaign for president? Why did he accept
Speaker 2: that money? If he's such, if he's such a fan
Speaker 2: of hers, isn't that a major and illegal campaign contribution?
Speaker 2: What about Beyonce, he did put the accent mark on the.
Speaker 1: Ero, he would have died.
Speaker 2: In fact, he doesn't. He doesn't want to smoke behind.
Speaker 2: He doesn't want the Hive pair, I guess, or maybe
Speaker 2: Seattle correct. And how much went to Oprah and Bono.
Speaker 2: I'm going to call for a major investigation into this matter.
Speaker 2: Candidates aren't allowed to pay for endorsements, which is what
Speaker 2: Kamala did under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition,
Speaker 2: this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially
Speaker 2: build up for whatever. Bah blah blah blah blah. It's
Speaker 2: fucking nonsense.
Speaker 4: How much has Vanilla Ice gotten for performing at mar
Speaker 4: A Lago? Like the money that they have to shell
Speaker 4: out to get anyone to show up right to their shit?
Speaker 4: I mean, Snoop Snoop was at their inauguration. Carrie Underwood
Speaker 4: was at the inauguration. But that being said, I also
Speaker 4: kind of want an investigation on how much money was
Speaker 4: spent on celebrities. A billion dollars in what was it
Speaker 4: three months that the Harris campaign spent but it is
Speaker 4: it's just so fragile.
Speaker 2: You won, you wont so, motherfucker You're out here switching
Speaker 2: up fucking Pardons to get black people to wear MAGA
Speaker 2: hats like fucking Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. Like, what
Speaker 2: are we talking about? You're the most transactional motherfucker we've ever.
Speaker 1: Boss gott mad at me.
Speaker 2: That just shows you. I don't I.
Speaker 1: Don't want anybody from Jersey to get.
Speaker 4: We call him the boss anyway, imagine boss.
Speaker 2: Well, he may be the Boss, but I'm the commander
Speaker 2: in chief. So so fuck out of here and everything
Speaker 2: he said because he's so he loves Bruce Springsteen music.
Speaker 2: You know that's true. Like he's played it. They've told him, bro,
Speaker 2: do not play this ship. He played it at a
Speaker 2: thing in New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I think it also feels like music of Oh.
Speaker 2: No, he said something, or maybe he was talking shit
Speaker 2: about I know at one point he liked Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 2: But then Bruce Springsteen's like, now, fuck out of here,
Speaker 2: and then he's like, whatn't fuck you then forever?
Speaker 4: And it's yeah, I never liked you anyway, yo. I
Speaker 4: it's also just really terrifying because I just saw this
Speaker 4: an hour ago. I guess the president of CBS is resigning,
Speaker 4: singing the company and I don't agree on the path forward,
Speaker 4: likely in relationship to the Trump lawsuit, because Trump again
Speaker 4: is trying to sue CBS for editing an interview with
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris to make her sound minimally more cogent, because
Speaker 4: of course, everyone should edit those fucking interviews. It was
Speaker 4: a funny, funnily enough, an interview question about Gaza. It
Speaker 4: was long winded. They edited it. They do this all
Speaker 4: the time. I'm Fox News edited the ship out of
Speaker 4: their like one one with Donald Trump with the campaign trail,
Speaker 4: making him look far more you know, sane, And it's
Speaker 4: just it's just scary, right because you're like this kind
Speaker 4: of retribution or whatever he's doing all these investigations, like
Speaker 4: i mean, look, anything to take the heat off, Like
Speaker 4: I don't know, a woman selling to Molly's on the street,
Speaker 4: Like that's good. Like, but I'm also like people are capitulating,
Speaker 4: you know, Like what's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait, so is did the CBS the head of
Speaker 2: CBS resign because they wanted to capitulate.
Speaker 4: That's unclear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't know, but that's unclear.
Speaker 4: So it could be like she was like, no, I'm
Speaker 4: I think we should pay Yeah.
Speaker 2: And that's probably that makes more sense, because then they
Speaker 2: would be like, well, I don't want smoke, I'm gonna resign.
Speaker 2: And then they're like, what do you think?
Speaker 4: I think she resigned because she doesn't want to pay.
Speaker 4: She probably wants to fight it.
Speaker 2: Oh, And then the pressure is to be like fucking right.
Speaker 1: Oh, we need that money to pay for more TV
Speaker 1: shows about Askan Warvitz or what ever. And they're pet
Speaker 1: Indians who are supposed to play aff gamings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and liked because there was like, uh, I mean
Speaker 2: the ship is still going back and forth within sixty
Speaker 2: minutes to be like, man, funk out of here, bro,
Speaker 2: you're not gonna tell us what to do, and there's.
Speaker 4: Yeah there and yeah, and they're had, oh.
Speaker 2: My god, to just go cry on your big pile
Speaker 2: of money.
Speaker 1: How much I.
Speaker 3: Would love to cry on a big pile of money.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: Do you think you'd be able to even cry? Like wait,
Speaker 2: hold the I'm on a pile of money?
Speaker 4: Yeah, like really beautiful decent proposal.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, My way through it just
Speaker 2: gabbing your eyes with your fucking hundred dollars bills and
Speaker 2: they get a terrible eye infection because money is filthy.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 3: You can buy healthcare.
Speaker 2: Hey you can. We'll come back to talk about the
Speaker 2: American dream, but the one you win via reality show
Speaker 2: after this and we're back. So there was a story
Speaker 2: last week that was popping up that was like Christy
Speaker 2: nom DHS secretary teaming up with the fucking guy who
Speaker 2: made Duck Dynasty to pitch a show that makes a
Speaker 2: mockery of citizenship and the plight of people seeking refuge
Speaker 2: in this country. Say it ain't so. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 2: full deck. The Daily Mail has like the entire deck
Speaker 2: and has just been describing this is a first of all,
Speaker 2: this is a real fucking thing that Christy Nome the
Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security and Rob Warsow, who's the writer
Speaker 2: and producer and Canadian ew that made Duck Dynasty. By you,
Speaker 2: why are you acting like maga bros? You're Canadian. Don't
Speaker 2: do that, don't be lost, don't be a token immigrant. Okay,
Speaker 2: you don't have to fall in line and be one
Speaker 2: of these maga people. But anyway, here they are. They've
Speaker 2: got this show. They've been pitching it to place like Netflix,
Speaker 2: allegedly trying to find someone that will greenlit, greenlit this
Speaker 2: monstrosity are green lights and monstrosity will definitely do this anything.
Speaker 2: It has to be bezos. It's like, yeah, Jeff Trump
Speaker 2: will just be like, Jeff feel buy this right, well,
Speaker 2: mister president, Yeah you love it, don't you. Well you
Speaker 2: know there is something you're gonna buy it. Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: green lighting it. We're green lighting. Hey, you're welcome Christy to.
Speaker 4: Drop all anti trust against you.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So this the series
Speaker 2: is called The American and it's I guess named after
Speaker 2: the train that contestants will be riding around the country
Speaker 2: and competing in regionally specific quote cultural contests like no
Speaker 2: rolling logs in Wisconsin, Yes, I'm.
Speaker 1: Documented or whatever?
Speaker 4: Did you what hogs doing what to hogs?
Speaker 2: Rolling logs in rolling standing on logs and like, you know,
Speaker 2: trying to get the other personal fall off of ship,
Speaker 2: you know, hillbilly Olympic shit.
Speaker 4: Uh real, Ultimate Ninja Warrior what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of Well it's different. Allow me to really
Speaker 2: just unfold this whole show before before you jump to conclusions. Okay,
Speaker 2: so this is so fucking I'm so sorry, this is real. Okay,
Speaker 2: but the show format is basically going to echo pretty
Speaker 2: much every other reality competition show. It's just so fucking cruel.
Speaker 2: And the grand prize is citizenship to a country that
Speaker 2: hates you. So, as described in the pitch, contestants quote,
Speaker 2: contestants from various countries and backgrounds would be pre vetted
Speaker 2: and arrive at Ellis Island in New York City. I'm born.
Speaker 2: The citizenship about symbolizing a new beginning. This is how
Speaker 2: the show opens. There, they'd be greeted by the host.
Speaker 2: They haven't booked anyone, so they're saying someone quote s Fame, well,
Speaker 2: are you naturalized American citizen? You're no. See that's the thing.
Speaker 2: They need a famous naturalized American who was also born
Speaker 2: in another country. So the pitch is saying people like
Speaker 2: Sophia Virgara, Ryan Reynolds, Mila Kunis who's from Ukraine as
Speaker 2: possible hosts to greet the contestants and upon which they
Speaker 2: will give the contestants a welcome gift. That gift a
Speaker 2: personalized baseball glove. Okay, these are people who are on
Speaker 2: a game show because they want to be citizens of
Speaker 2: the United States. They're can be like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: welcome to the show. Here's your baseball glove before we
Speaker 2: completely make you debase yourself for.
Speaker 4: Citizenship, then yeah, put your nuts right here for the
Speaker 4: duration of this.
Speaker 3: I feel like a more American thing would be like
Speaker 3: a gun.
Speaker 2: I know, right exactly here it is or here is
Speaker 2: like here is your ability to completely compartmentalize and not
Speaker 2: view yourself as an immigrant anymore once you get citizenship,
Speaker 2: and then pull the ladder up for everyone else.
Speaker 4: I kind of like this because i've it. I want
Speaker 4: to hear you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me, let me do the full pitch and
Speaker 2: then you tell me why this is why you're green lighting.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and we'll all go around if we're green
Speaker 2: lighting or I haven't. Look, I'm still on the fence.
Speaker 2: I want to know more. So. Contestants will travel state
Speaker 2: to state, meeting quote interesting Americans and learning about the history,
Speaker 2: culture quirks of each region. Viewers, in turn, will.
Speaker 4: Learn Dennis Prager number one.
Speaker 2: I know right. They will learn through video package about
Speaker 2: each wan to want to be American. This is what
Speaker 2: they say in the Daily Mail, want to be American,
Speaker 2: and why they want to live here. We'll join the
Speaker 2: quote this from the deck. We'll join the laughter, tears, frustration,
Speaker 2: and joy hearing their backstories as we are reminded how
Speaker 2: amazing it is to be an American through the eyes
Speaker 2: of twelve wonderful people who want nothing more than to
Speaker 2: have what we have. Then they're divided into teams.
Speaker 4: The right to die in a mass shooting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and then have to have a wallet biopsy
Speaker 2: done on your way to the hospital and be like, sorry,
Speaker 2: I don't see an insurance card in here. Then they'll
Speaker 2: they'll all be put into teams where then they will
Speaker 2: have to do battle. Not to the death quite yet.
Speaker 2: That's probably like season three, I'd imagine. Scenes envisaged include
Speaker 2: one in San Francisco where the immigrants are set down
Speaker 2: a mind to collect the most gold in Cape Canaveral, Florida,
Speaker 2: the hub of Nasso.
Speaker 4: Oh is, there was never gold in San Francisco, You
Speaker 4: fucking idiots. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2: They don't know about Sutter's Mill, all right, don't fucking
Speaker 2: ask about that.
Speaker 4: Get a trip there and go school field trip there.
Speaker 2: Everybody in California gotta go to Sutter's Mill. Baby, Hell yeah,
Speaker 2: where they put all that fake gold. I thought I
Speaker 2: got fucking gold when I went to and they're like, no,
Speaker 2: they put stuff in there so that way you can
Speaker 2: put it in a little bottle and take it home
Speaker 2: with you. I'm like, this is fuck, this is fucking.
Speaker 4: I mean, they should let the immigrants like smoking an
Speaker 4: opium den in San Francisco to get the real experience,
Speaker 4: get real racist.
Speaker 1: I think the immigrants should start a tech company and
Speaker 1: then destroy democracy and.
Speaker 4: Then create a podcast about how no other immigrants are
Speaker 4: deserving to destroy democracy.
Speaker 2: And then ascend the heights of the Trump administration five
Speaker 2: point zero. Then they'll go to Cape Canaveral, where NASA is,
Speaker 2: and they would rush to build and launch a rocket.
Speaker 2: There's I'm not even joking. There's another one. They go
Speaker 2: to Detroit to assemble a Ford Model T, where they
Speaker 2: will put the protocols of Elders of Zion in the
Speaker 2: glove box, just like Henry Ford did. Okay, maybe the
Speaker 2: last part wasn't true, but they will be making a
Speaker 2: fucking Model T on a fucking factory.
Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no no. I first of all, I
Speaker 4: am not anti this premise for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 4: Number one, it sounds a lot quicker and easier than
Speaker 4: applying what you writing forward, following the rules.
Speaker 2: This is this is one of the rules.
Speaker 1: Better than the lottery with vets for healthcare, and it
Speaker 1: would be better.
Speaker 4: You're right, much quicker, much quicker. Number two. I do
Speaker 4: think that in the process of learning the backstory, actually
Speaker 4: we would all learn something about immigrants to this country.
Speaker 4: It's like, well, my family was held at gunpoint in
Speaker 4: El Salvador.
Speaker 2: By addressing there, they're gonna say they are they're the
Speaker 2: biggest fan of the San Diego Padres base, real, right,
Speaker 2: And they knew they wanted to be American when they
Speaker 2: saw Tony Gwynn take his first at bat or somebody.
Speaker 4: When I watched The Real Housewives, I knew I wanted
Speaker 4: to be one. Remember all of our trash television is
Speaker 4: actually international and people can see us, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be beautiful if they did
Speaker 1: tell all of those stories. They're like, I have a
Speaker 1: child who's dying, and we were held at some point
Speaker 1: and we have to leave. And then at the end
Speaker 1: they're like, sorry, we're gonna take you back. Let's follow
Speaker 1: up in six months exactly.
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys watch more in reality than I do.
Speaker 4: But like ninety day fiance. Doesn't that Miles have a
Speaker 4: little bit of insight into each character, and like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you'd get a backstory.
Speaker 2: You get some texture. Most people aren't sort of like
Speaker 2: running from a nation that's been absolutely destabilized by the
Speaker 2: United States. So it's just like and I fell in
Speaker 2: love with her on the app and it's like, okay, fine,
Speaker 2: and then you kind of learn a little bit more
Speaker 2: and more, and then you're like, there's right now, there's
Speaker 2: a guy who left you on to go to Hamisburg,
Speaker 2: Mississippi to be with a woman. And he's like, if
Speaker 2: I go back, I think I'm gonna go to jail.
Speaker 2: Probably I still think I'm a spy. That's like the
Speaker 2: like that one recently has been touching on some actual
Speaker 2: kind of geopolitical stuff, but it's more like it's still
Speaker 2: shot with like the perspective like, oh man, Heron's so
Speaker 2: fucked up, like you don't want to fucking be there,
Speaker 2: like and we don't even need to talk about it
Speaker 2: much further than.
Speaker 1: Than Virginia.
Speaker 2: I don't know it simply hate our freedoms. Yeah, we're
Speaker 2: not going to see someone on this show being like, well,
Speaker 2: when the School of the America's trained the goon squads
Speaker 2: to get rid of Like, yeah.
Speaker 4: But I do think if you tweak it a little bit,
Speaker 4: it could be something I could get on board with.
Speaker 4: I do think it should be actual Americans, people who
Speaker 4: were born here, whatever, natural whatever the fuck papers keep
Speaker 4: their citizens versus oh yes, versus.
Speaker 1: Country swap.
Speaker 4: Who's who can roll along?
Speaker 1: Right? Who has like more experienced like rockets, where do
Speaker 1: you make mild rockets came from exactly countries where they
Speaker 1: educate their children.
Speaker 4: It should be more like citizenship swamp, right, yeah, you
Speaker 4: relinquish yours and give it to this person, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's like, motherfucker, I had to go through the
Speaker 2: dairyen gap. They shook off some locks. Again, it's not
Speaker 2: I wish this would be the kind of thing that
Speaker 2: would actually bring attention to like the plight of people
Speaker 2: around the world, But it's gonna be done in such
Speaker 2: an America worship jingoistic nonsense about.
Speaker 3: That we just throw a black mirror episode.
Speaker 2: Actually yeah true, yeah, yeah, this is probably what the
Speaker 2: fucking room sounded like when these people are putting the
Speaker 2: deck together, like what should it be called? And what
Speaker 2: are the press? Because in the deck they're like, this
Speaker 2: is gonna have so much sponsorship opportunity. This is just again,
Speaker 2: just to round it out right, The thing ends with
Speaker 2: a train pulling up to the steps of the Capitol,
Speaker 2: where they will receive their citizenship on the steps of
Speaker 2: the fucking.
Speaker 1: Immediately continues to l Salvador with the rest of the people.
Speaker 2: Yea, no, that isn't true. According to the deck, the
Speaker 2: guy the producer makes it clear, the losers will have
Speaker 2: all been pre screened for eventual citizenship, so they will
Speaker 2: have a leg up when it comes to applying for
Speaker 2: citizenship in the more traditional way.
Speaker 4: Bull shit, they're gonna end up with kil Mar Bregogarcia.
Speaker 4: Also a train America. I'm sorry, this is fundamental.
Speaker 2: Don't get on a train anywhere, and don't even go
Speaker 2: to train at Disneyland exactly. Yeah, there's gonna be some
Speaker 2: kind of derailment. Yeah right, a hyper loop where everyone
Speaker 2: can perish in a concrete too. Some of the prizes
Speaker 2: would be quote iconically Americans, such as one million American airlines.
Speaker 2: I saw that. I saw that a ten thousand dollars
Speaker 2: Starbucks gift card, or a lifetime supply of seventy six gasoline.
Speaker 3: Wait, that's like a bajillion dollars seventy six canceling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's actually that's actually.
Speaker 4: Worth Yeah, which one would you choose. I'm like definitely
Speaker 4: going with the gas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the gas. Yeah, oh yeah. But then it's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess I'll just sell gas on the side. I'm like, yeah, just.
Speaker 3: Like give other people gas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I saw it to them on the low.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, bro, if you have like anybody who needs,
Speaker 2: like you've got some troubles, you need gasoline, Bro, I
Speaker 2: fucking wont it come through? I'll give you.
Speaker 1: Guys like the pandemic where people are putting it in
Speaker 1: bags in their cars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like that's not a good okay whatever, to
Speaker 2: each their own, to each terrible fire their own. So yeah,
Speaker 2: this is apparent. The momentum has not stopped.
Speaker 4: And Christina, I'm so fragile about how much of a
Speaker 4: fucking like pageant fascist she is. Like she just she's like,
Speaker 4: this is not about me, this is like but she
Speaker 4: is such a pageant Like every single thing is like her.
Speaker 4: You know, now she's got tactical gear on. Now she's
Speaker 4: on the border, you know. Now she's in front of
Speaker 4: a bunch of you know, shaved head, detainees and a
Speaker 4: goolog like right, and she's like, this isn't about me, but.
Speaker 2: It so is.
Speaker 4: It's about like, yeah, I was just saying like she's
Speaker 4: got more photog she's got like a better photographer following
Speaker 4: her than like the Beyonce whoever the Beyonce Instagram husband is, which,
Speaker 4: by the way, it might be has to do that sometimes.
Speaker 1: Also, she looks like she's had like a lot of
Speaker 1: work done.
Speaker 4: It looks like she's definitely this is what is fundamentally
Speaker 4: happening with her face. I call her the dog Killer
Speaker 4: with too much face filler. She is terrifying.
Speaker 1: And then this Quanta.
Speaker 2: Too much, the thriller in Manila with the dog Killer
Speaker 2: with too much filler.
Speaker 1: I just didn't realize, Like I saw a picture where
Speaker 1: she looks like, you know, a typical like midwestern mom
Speaker 1: in one picture and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, early yeah, I mean yeah, they all got, they
Speaker 2: all got.
Speaker 1: I went through like a conveyor belt in mar A
Speaker 1: Lago her and Laura Lumer.
Speaker 2: I mean, like this one, she looks like a character
Speaker 2: on fucking Righteous Gemstones.
Speaker 4: You know, Oh that's so, that's that's old, that's before
Speaker 4: the glow up, you get.
Speaker 2: I know, but I'm saying, like, this is where she
Speaker 2: was at, this is where she was, and then she's
Speaker 2: like him, I'm a real housewife. Now. It's just very,
Speaker 2: very freaky. And yes, uh it's funny because like within
Speaker 2: the department she has no respect either. Like everything you
Speaker 2: read about the department phone and that security, they're like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm just a fucking joke. She just goes to fucking
Speaker 2: pose and like we're the ones doing the real work
Speaker 2: or brutalizing innocent people the fuck you want for the
Speaker 2: love of the game exactly. She's in the love of it,
Speaker 2: for her private jet. I think she's trying to get
Speaker 2: right now, right for like fifteen right now.
Speaker 3: Is she gonna strap a dog to the roof?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, she's gonna know, she's gonna tape it
Speaker 2: right in front of the engine intake.
Speaker 3: And back when they used to put the dogs and
Speaker 3: hammocks by the engine intake.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe gets sucked through and blows the engine.

Speaker 1: My? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Look a fucking work a media. I like this. Someone
Speaker 2: posted this on blue Sky at guntoucher dot b sky
Speaker 2: dot social posted this. I think about this anytime I
Speaker 2: see James Carvill mentioned. It's a huff Post article from
Speaker 2: twenty two thousand and eight from when James Carville was
Speaker 2: like actually was in the Brad Pitt movie The Assassination
Speaker 2: of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. This is
Speaker 2: an extra from this article, but the favorite scene for
Speaker 2: political junkies is bound to be campaign consultant James Carvill's
Speaker 2: cameo is Missouri Governor Thomas Crittenden, the man who put
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton in the White House, gives a Chris performance,
Speaker 2: telling Ford, played by Casey Affleck, that he wants gunslinger
Speaker 2: James dead all the same. Director Andrew Dominic vals he'll
Speaker 2: never work with Carville again. Quote, I didn't want to
Speaker 2: hire him in the first place. Dominic tells us he
Speaker 2: came in unprepared, he couldn't get his lines out right.
Speaker 2: It's like he has add it took us three hours
Speaker 2: to shoot that one small scene. I am now envisioning
Speaker 2: Uncle Baby Billy from Righteous Gemstones like that is basically
Speaker 2: what Jacuz like, No, God damn it. I need to
Speaker 2: get my I need to get my inspiration right. Comes back,
Speaker 2: He's like, I want that man dead because that He's like,
Speaker 2: that's not the line, James, what is it? He said,
Speaker 2: I need you to do something for me, and I
Speaker 2: need it done right. What a fucking time. So I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 3: That was really good. And James Baby Billy he's.
Speaker 2: Kind of the same, you know, James, j oh yeah, James,
Speaker 2: carl Will going to talk about all the things they
Speaker 2: have the Democratic Party needs to do, uh and and
Speaker 2: nothing about the stuff that they should have done. That's
Speaker 2: the thing. And then Uncle Baby Billy is this kind
Speaker 2: of kind.
Speaker 4: Of there's more is always twenty twenty in James.
Speaker 2: Exactly, It's always twenty twenty and Uncle Baby Billy is
Speaker 2: like this here called a silver bullet course, all the
Speaker 2: way from Colorado. That's why I think in my mind,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh shit, he's the same. It's James Carville
Speaker 2: trying to do team just like Uncle Baby Billy did
Speaker 2: this season in Righteous Gemstones, but just doing a bunch
Speaker 2: of cocaine, trying to be teen Jesus.
