Speaker 1: I'm Jack, that is Miles, and we're gonna tell you
Speaker 1: some of the things that we're trending, uh, that happened
Speaker 1: over this awful, awful weekend. Before we get into the
Speaker 1: events of the weekend the news, we like to check
Speaker 1: in personally, talk about what we were up to, and
Speaker 1: do a little overrated underrated on the personal front.
Speaker 3: Hey, Brian, you want to mute man? I get that
Speaker 3: we're boring.
Speaker 1: It was a loud We got a loud yawn from
Speaker 1: super producer Brian.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask.
Speaker 1: You to leave in just so uh oh boy, can
Speaker 1: we actually get that as a drop that we could
Speaker 1: just throw every once in a while, every time we
Speaker 1: have to talk about awful shit, like what about that
Speaker 1: eclipse over the weekend, that's my overrated Miles.
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, go off.
Speaker 1: I'm clipses. I'm not gonna say all eclipses are overrated.
Speaker 1: I don't think I brought the proper preparation to it.
Speaker 1: I was trying to make a big deal about it
Speaker 1: for my family, and the sun fucked me. Miles.
Speaker 2: What did you do, Like, did you do like looks
Speaker 2: into the sun to see if you walked out?
Speaker 1: I just made sure we were outside. We were in
Speaker 1: the middle running some errands, so we were like on
Speaker 1: a street with some stores on it and uh, kind
Speaker 1: of looking up through our hands type, Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: I did not prepare. Okay, however, yeah, last time we
Speaker 1: did an eclipse, you remember, when we like were working
Speaker 1: it was like early days.
Speaker 3: Of bull full totally clip full total eclipse h seventeen.
Speaker 1: It was the year. Yeah, and like, do you do
Speaker 1: you remember being underwhelmed by that?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because also we've also been getting the shittiest angles
Speaker 2: for eclipse for eclipses, you know, so eclipse I but
Speaker 2: like I don't think like I don't think either of right, Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: that's fine, and you know what, it's a Monday, That's
Speaker 2: what I'm doing. But like, because I remember, I remember,
Speaker 2: we were really bummed out when we saw the footage
Speaker 2: of people in that area and like Oregon where you
Speaker 2: can really get it, and they're like.
Speaker 1: Booky, I just want some spookiness, come on, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: it's Hollywood. We know about camera angles, we know about angles.
Speaker 1: Folks give us, give us the spookiness. And by folks,
Speaker 1: I mean the celestial bodies exactly. Yeah, so the only evidence.
Speaker 1: And my kids were into it, but I just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: They a little bit didn't.
Speaker 1: It got like a tiny bite.
Speaker 2: It felt like it felt like overcasts, like when there's
Speaker 2: a fire and that fire smokes in the air and
Speaker 2: the light. That's kind of what I thought was going on.
Speaker 2: Then I was like, oh, right, the eclipse.
Speaker 1: But like we I think I have the stories from
Speaker 1: history in my head where an eclipse happens and it
Speaker 1: stops everyone in their tracks and they're like wait, wait, stop,
Speaker 1: stop the massive battle, stop killing each other. God, God's talking.
Speaker 1: God just entered the room. So I'm always expecting something
Speaker 1: like that, and the eclipses I've experienced are more like
Speaker 1: and lo, the sun passed behind the moon, and it
Speaker 1: was less dramatic than if the sun went behind a cloud,
Speaker 1: and there were some like kind of interesting light shapes
Speaker 1: on the ground if you knew to look for them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw.
Speaker 2: I saw a family that was clearly scienced out because
Speaker 2: they had like their proper like paper eclipse. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: projector and things like that. But yeah, Jack, we're never
Speaker 2: going to have that thing where like it's.
Speaker 1: The morning star as behold, the shape of this light
Speaker 1: reflection is slightly different.
Speaker 2: If you want it, dude, you gotta go to the
Speaker 2: right part of the earth, dude, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's or so I did. I did speak to somebody
Speaker 1: after the fact, Thanks a lot, Dylan, But he was like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: there was an eclipse this morning. I have a solar
Speaker 1: telescope and that you can like just look directly at
Speaker 1: the sun through it and just like you can like
Speaker 1: see sun spots. And he was like, Oh, anytime there's
Speaker 1: an eclipse like that, I try try and look through
Speaker 1: my solar telescope. So maybe that's I just need to
Speaker 1: get a solar telescope and yeah, well.
Speaker 2: Hey we got a you know what, main, We're going
Speaker 2: to get another bite of the apple April April eighth.
Speaker 1: But that one goes Texas up through Maine, so I
Speaker 1: don't think we're going to get much.
Speaker 3: What Jack, We're going to fucking bangor Maine.
Speaker 4: Thank you, bangor bangor dogs yeah or Mexico, uh Sea
Speaker 4: dogs and did a little heat dogs with all my
Speaker 4: I never knew such a holy balloo.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, you know, I'm not I'm not I'm not mad
Speaker 1: at you eclipses. I'm just saying, there's something about the
Speaker 1: story I've been told up to this point in history books,
Speaker 1: in by the local news that is not matching up
Speaker 1: with my lived experience. Maybe it's something I need to look.
Speaker 2: At and welcome to the world of our media informed realities,
Speaker 2: you know, because like we're only seeing like the most
Speaker 2: lit eclipse footage like on the news, and like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not gonna look like that here, It's gonna look
Speaker 2: like if there was a cloud.
Speaker 1: You just gotta like, you just gotta be ready and travel.
Speaker 1: The superducer Brian is saying, like total solar eclipses are
Speaker 1: a must see all.
Speaker 3: Right, twenty twenty four, Texas were coming for you.
Speaker 1: You know that's right, Mexico, maybe Mexico.
Speaker 3: What's something?
Speaker 1: I overrated?
Speaker 2: Mile overrated people who think they can just do some
Speaker 2: other shit in a movie theater because they aren't interested
Speaker 2: in the movie they're seeing, or they don't want to
Speaker 2: be there with their family, whatever the fuck it is.
Speaker 1: So now this is because you went to the Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift movie and you were sitting there with a notepad
Speaker 1: and people kept getting up and dancing right.
Speaker 2: No, people were on their phones during the thing, recording themselves. No.
Speaker 2: So I saw The Creator this weekend by myself. This
Speaker 2: is the second movie I want to roll of seeing
Speaker 2: movies by myself.
Speaker 3: Saw Oppenheimer by myself.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing The Creator by myself, just me to question
Speaker 2: my existence. I like to see by myself. Yes, And
Speaker 2: I went like I went early in the morning because
Speaker 2: I wanted to avoid all the ambient noise of adjacent
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift showings because side note, the fucking theater was
Speaker 2: a Taylor wild house.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And like when I was leaving the movie, I caught
Speaker 2: the shit blaring out of another one. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it really is like that.
Speaker 3: But anyway, there was a guy on his phone, like
Speaker 3: before the trailers start.
Speaker 2: He was on his phone. Fine, I don't give a shit.
Speaker 2: Then the trailers come on. He's playing fucking poker or
Speaker 2: some shit. Fine, whatever, it's the trailers. Then Nick Coole
Speaker 2: comes on. Nick Cole comes on to.
Speaker 1: Talk about I need some proper respect for Nicole heartache
Speaker 1: feels good in a place like this.
Speaker 3: This mother fuck is still on his phone.
Speaker 1: So then I said around to Jurassic World, sir.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna said, I'm gonna give him until the Like
Speaker 2: I said, maybe he's handling some shit on poker, I'll
Speaker 2: give him to the I'll give him to when the
Speaker 2: actual movie starts, because then I can you could really
Speaker 2: be like no, no, no, this is disrespect. So the
Speaker 2: movie comes on, the fucking theater lights dim. He's looking
Speaker 2: at fantasy or some shit. The movie comes on and
Speaker 2: it's going I'm about to lean forward.
Speaker 3: The guy next to him just goes, can you turn
Speaker 3: your can you turn off your phone?
Speaker 2: And the dude was so shook, like his phone almost
Speaker 2: blew out of his hands, like like a comedy bit,
Speaker 2: because he was so.
Speaker 3: Like oh god, yoh, whoa whoa, whoa, sorry, put it.
Speaker 2: Away and like did that thing like kids do when
Speaker 2: they put their hands like in their sleeves of their
Speaker 2: hoodie to like kide their hands like, and.
Speaker 1: Was like like a turtle, Yeah is this person doing?
Speaker 2: And anyway, so I'm like, why did this guy think
Speaker 2: he could have his ship on full blast brightness and
Speaker 2: not like and think no one in the theater was
Speaker 2: gonna know what the fuck he was doing?
Speaker 3: Anyway, this dude seemed like.
Speaker 2: An asshole too, because he was there with his family
Speaker 2: and the second the movie ended, he just ran out,
Speaker 2: like he got up swiftly like and like he was
Speaker 2: He wasn't sitting like closest to the isle. He was
Speaker 2: furthest from the aisle, so he had to pass over
Speaker 2: the knees of his family. He's like all right, I'm
Speaker 2: the fuck out of here and just pieced out. And
Speaker 2: I was like, did this kind of the back end
Speaker 2: to do? So he was on the fucking lobby on
Speaker 2: his phone.
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Yeah, So man, man, it just felt like bad vibes,
Speaker 2: Like it felt like weird, you know, family shit going.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it almost fucked up my movie experience.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the creator was fucking wild. I gotta say, shit,
Speaker 2: hits different given what is happening in Gaza, and like
Speaker 2: the movie completely dealing with like who we extend this
Speaker 2: like thought of humanity or the identity of humanity too,
Speaker 2: and how if not we can indiscriminately have death from
Speaker 2: above with our spaceships. It's like it's that. Shit was
Speaker 2: just it was a little it was very relevant. But yeah,
Speaker 2: overall I liked what I saw. Not a perfect phone,
Speaker 2: but yeah it was.
Speaker 3: It was. It was a great little Saturday thing.
Speaker 2: Although again, given what's happening in the world, not the
Speaker 2: easiest thing to wort.
Speaker 1: An easy watch, no, no, not a light one. And
Speaker 1: yeah I watched it like two and a half weeks,
Speaker 1: you know, two and a half weeks ago, and I
Speaker 1: feel like, I mean, obviously caught the that connotation, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't like everywhere in the news like yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, bang it down your door. Yeah. I almost
Speaker 1: had that guy as uh as my overrated, but I
Speaker 1: figured since you saw a movie with him, it would
Speaker 1: probably be your oprated. But yeah, fuck that guy just
Speaker 1: so much. The didn't watch the credit FU.
Speaker 3: The movie's fucking good.
Speaker 1: And if you don't want to be stressing your family
Speaker 1: out man, Yo exact the family was stressed too, because
Speaker 1: I felt bad his partner didn't say anything like I was.
Speaker 3: First. I was like, yo, are are you gonna self
Speaker 3: check the group?
Speaker 2: But that wasn't happening, Like oh, the dynamics fucking off here,
Speaker 2: Like this dude is doing some like overt like I
Speaker 2: don't want to be here type ship. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So shout out.
Speaker 2: To the dude who was sitting right next to him,
Speaker 2: because it looked like everybody in the area kept looking
Speaker 2: at It's like, okay, we're about to collectively tell this
Speaker 2: motherfucker to fucking be gone with the phone.
Speaker 1: Two can turn your phone off? Yeah, all right? Underrated?
Speaker 1: My underrated is I'll keep it light for a second.
Speaker 1: Peter mcnicholl uh macnickell M A C N I C
Speaker 1: O L. The guy who plays like a creep and deep.
Speaker 1: He's been in like so much stuff. I mainly knew
Speaker 1: him as Ghostbusters too, doctor. Sorry, I will put proper
Speaker 1: respect on his name a movie that I haven't seen
Speaker 1: since I was a kid. But it's like still his
Speaker 1: performance is still so strongly in my memory, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: I think go where he's just walking to the museum floor.
Speaker 1: Just telling people they're doing a bad job is amazing. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I watched as promised told you guys I would do it.
Speaker 1: Watched Adam's Family Values this weekend, which was a blast.
Speaker 1: My kids loved it. The only thing I really remembered
Speaker 1: was the Thanksgiving play where they like Wednesday and Pugsley
Speaker 1: like basically murder a bunch of children and counselors or
Speaker 1: like come close to the take over the camp.
Speaker 3: I am up, really, you know.
Speaker 1: And also I had a very visceral memory of the
Speaker 1: part where we see Uncle Fester's face as he enters
Speaker 1: his wife for the first time, like on their honeymoon,
Speaker 1: just knows carnal pleasure for the first time. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much good stuff. John Qsck's performance
Speaker 1: as the femme fatale was really great. Debbie, which my Cabby,
Speaker 1: she made she made an impression. They were like, so
Speaker 1: what that was the character? They were like, what was
Speaker 1: the lady's name? I was like, Mortitia Wednesday. They're like no, no, no, no, no. Debbie. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because she actually gets got
Speaker 1: at the end, but no. Spoiler alert sorry, but there
Speaker 1: there's just this like one thirty second bit where Peter
Speaker 1: McNichols like introducing this camp for privileged kids. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's like just giving the best like weird camp counselor
Speaker 1: energy and like giving this speech about what privilege is
Speaker 1: and like why it's great, and his performance is just
Speaker 1: so fucking funny. It's like one of the funniest things
Speaker 1: I've seen in a long time.
Speaker 3: I'm Gary Granger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like bodily like he does this like thing,
Speaker 1: this celebratory thing with his hands that is so great, truly,
Speaker 1: you know, an underra.
Speaker 2: America's foremost facility for privileged young adults. Yeah, and then
Speaker 2: when they fuck up the black kids name that, that
Speaker 2: one hits too hard.
Speaker 1: Like I was like, come on, him and Baranski are
Speaker 1: the counselors. But I also I underrated. This is probably
Speaker 1: just me, but I think it's true broadly. But I
Speaker 1: had totally made the association between the Adam's Family movies
Speaker 1: and Tim Burton. I thought Tim Burton directed both of
Speaker 1: the Adams Family movies, and like my friend who I
Speaker 1: watched it with, we were both I think he was
Speaker 1: like to Burton direct this one or just the first one,
Speaker 1: and he directed neither neither, and like the moment it starts,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, this is a this is
Speaker 1: a Sonemfeld joint, this is the son and feldiest, this
Speaker 1: is Sonemfeld as fuck. But yeah, everyone all like I
Speaker 1: had done the same thing that everyone does with Nightmare
Speaker 1: before Christmas, which people are like, oh, that's I mean,
Speaker 1: they put his fucking name on that one, and I
Speaker 1: mean he was pretty heavily involved in the development, but
Speaker 1: he did not direct it. But this one he just
Speaker 1: like straight up pasted on, had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1: And I guess because he's direct the Netflix show Wednesday,
Speaker 1: I had just assumed that. But I think it's just
Speaker 1: like he was responsible for every piece of art where
Speaker 1: people wore black. In my mind when I was a child,
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, yeah, so I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was underrating the strength of the Tim Burton brand.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, him and Spike Lee were making the
Speaker 2: blackest movies of the nineties.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. And then my last underrated related
Speaker 1: to the Adam's Family values is Barry Sonemfeld's career is
Speaker 1: very strange. YEA, So he was he was like the
Speaker 1: Coen Brothers cinematographer. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 3: Oh is that where we got to start?
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, he was. He was the cinematographer on Miller's
Speaker 1: Crossing and like Blood Simple and you know, some of
Speaker 1: their great early movies. And then he his first directing
Speaker 1: job was Adam's Family, The Adams Family, and then adams
Speaker 1: Family Values, and then he did uh you know he
Speaker 1: he did a Michael J. Fox movie in between those,
Speaker 1: but then right into like Men in Black and yeah
Speaker 1: get It's yeah, get Shorty want of That was like
Speaker 1: when I saw that movie, that fucking blew my mind.
Speaker 1: I love to Get Shorty. And but the strength of
Speaker 1: the decision to end all of his movies with the
Speaker 1: rap song describing what just happened in the movie, like
Speaker 1: Adam's Family had the mc hammer song at the end
Speaker 1: of it Adam's Family Values, but like Adam's Family Values
Speaker 1: has Adam's Family womp by tag Team and it's basically
Speaker 1: wump there. It is just re skin for the Adams Family.
Speaker 1: And like I mean, there's like it is really just
Speaker 1: like a straight the.
Speaker 2: Lyrics are the Adams Family elite. There it is I
Speaker 2: remember that ship. I was like, yo, did they come
Speaker 2: up with this ship? They come up with woom, just
Speaker 2: had the Adams family in between.
Speaker 3: Whomp there it is.
Speaker 1: And like they say, like they open it with like,
Speaker 1: am my man, Steve Roland Boom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's got like.
Speaker 1: All the same preambles as what there it is? But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I it really suggests that while we
Speaker 1: all assumed Will Smith decided to make rap songs about
Speaker 1: his movies during that period, he just happened to be
Speaker 1: in a Barry Sonemfeld movie was like doing him a solid, but.
Speaker 2: Like exactly, and then he's like, all right, Barry, we
Speaker 2: want you to direct.
Speaker 3: Wow Wow West? What are you thinking? I think?
Speaker 2: I know, actually I know Will Smith is going to
Speaker 2: be rapping the theme song at the end. I don't
Speaker 2: care about anything else, but it has to be he
Speaker 2: has to be singing Wow Wow West.
Speaker 1: What a you know? And then his career ended with
Speaker 1: Nine Lives, you know, turns out he didn't have nine
Speaker 1: Lives the Kevin Spacey Cat movie I believe. Oh jesus, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you remember when that came out?
Speaker 3: No? I just now that I'm looking at the poster,
Speaker 3: I'm like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: Christopher walking Jennifer Garner and Kevin Spacey.
Speaker 1: No sorry, Kevin Spacey is yeah. Yeah. Anyways, uh, what
Speaker 1: a what a run. Let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back because you know, well, you're underrated relates
Speaker 1: to the news that was happening over the weekend. So
Speaker 1: we'll be right back and we're back. Yeah, and Miles,
Speaker 1: what is your underrated?
Speaker 3: Underrated?
Speaker 2: This week, I saw the rampant Islamophobia in this country.
Speaker 2: The media, social, colonial and otherwise all collectively lost their
Speaker 2: shit this last week. I saw people go in a
Speaker 2: time machine back to fucking September twelfth, two thousand and one,
Speaker 2: where Muslim people were so easily reduced to this like
Speaker 2: media created image of a non human, hostile monster that
Speaker 2: deserves death at any cost that I was just it
Speaker 2: was heartbreaking to watch, especially as we're just just watching
Speaker 2: violence beget even more outsized violence. People were fucking convinced
Speaker 2: the you know, there was all this media push, especially
Speaker 2: on especially conservative media and you know mainstream willike.
Speaker 3: That there was just going to be this global day
Speaker 3: of jihad.
Speaker 2: Yeah on Friday, and you know it was like it
Speaker 2: was I again, like I understand that given what is
Speaker 2: happening you'd think, oh, maybe there's going to be some
Speaker 2: kind of escalation, reprise or whatever. But the idea of
Speaker 2: a group telegraphing like mass terror attacks on one day
Speaker 2: is a little bit outsized. If anything, there were people
Speaker 2: like gathering to like protest.
Speaker 1: Which is like in the in the run up to it,
Speaker 1: that was explicitly what it what the stated purpose of yeah,
Speaker 1: the day was if nobody was saying and this is
Speaker 1: going to be I mean, I'm sure some people were.
Speaker 2: Translating that as oh, uh, you know, Muslim people getting
Speaker 2: together to express their dismay at something that's happening in
Speaker 2: the world, as oh, it's a global date day of gihad,
Speaker 2: and then tragically it seemed to culminate this weekend with
Speaker 2: a six year old child being stabbed to death by
Speaker 2: his racist landlord, all because him and his mother are Palestinian,
Speaker 2: American and Muslim.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 2: They don't like the explanation of it was is terrifying,
Speaker 2: Like to the point I'm really fucks me up to
Speaker 2: like read it out loud. But we are continuing to
Speaker 2: pulverize entire neighborhoods where entire families get killed. This is
Speaker 2: not going to make anyone safer. And I think that's
Speaker 2: another part. I think a lot of Americans are not
Speaker 2: really understanding. You think, because we live here that we
Speaker 2: might be insulated from the things that our government is doing.
Speaker 3: We're not.
Speaker 2: We're going to be less safe. Anti American sentiment is
Speaker 2: going to fucking go to heights.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure I.
Speaker 2: May have not ever seen in my life if this
Speaker 2: goes on without the US trying to do something to
Speaker 2: de escalate. And I just watched this goal play out
Speaker 2: over and over and over again.
Speaker 3: It's like it just blows my mind, like the.
Speaker 2: Amount of clarity that we can look at what people,
Speaker 2: how people were acting after nine to eleven and what
Speaker 2: that brought on. We're completely unable to bring that level
Speaker 2: of clarity to this situation now. And it seems like
Speaker 2: if you look at just how the media is doing
Speaker 2: things like well seventy percent of people back you know,
Speaker 2: the like military retaliation of Israel or whatever, they're sort
Speaker 2: of like using that to be like, yeah, go ahead,
Speaker 2: let's just keep let's keep funding this. Yeah, because it
Speaker 2: doesn't it's not going to end tidally with whatever they
Speaker 2: think this operation is going to be. That's not going
Speaker 2: to be the punctuation of this at all, right, and
Speaker 2: that's what is like, you know, really fucks me up.
Speaker 2: And like for people to think that it's not going
Speaker 2: to be smoke for the country whose names are on
Speaker 2: all of these bombs that are being dropped, right, I
Speaker 2: think is uh is a level of ignorance that I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm sure people probably just flock to in order to
Speaker 2: feel comfortable with what's happening, but it's it's a it's
Speaker 2: really nerving and I don't I'm yeah, I'm waiting to
Speaker 2: see a response from the government that is more like
Speaker 2: just doing the bare minimum of saying like, oh, and
Speaker 2: there are innocent people in Gaza, Oh, thank.
Speaker 1: Yous, jo Biden toying with saying the right thing, but
Speaker 1: it's just the language is so vague and they're like
Speaker 1: making gestures that like like that an example of this
Speaker 1: that's not from the government, but like the NFL had
Speaker 1: like at the start of Sunday Night Football, like the
Speaker 1: announcer expressed horror at the terror attacks in Israel, you know, which, yeah,
Speaker 1: horror at the deaths of innocent people is appropriate, but
Speaker 1: then said basically like thoughts and prayers to everyone in
Speaker 1: the Middle East in harm's way, like just in a
Speaker 1: way that suggests that, like the imperial cruelty of the
Speaker 1: military response is an inevitability. Yeah, that like where it's
Speaker 1: just like our hands are tied here, We're going to
Speaker 1: just bomb entire families out of existence entirely like black
Speaker 1: explore civilians live.
Speaker 3: And the idea.
Speaker 2: Man, I mean, like, well, let's just get into like
Speaker 2: this first story, because it all it all feats in
Speaker 2: one one to the other.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you know, Israel turned Gaza's water off, as
Speaker 1: we talked about last week, and it's been a week
Speaker 1: uh since they cut off the flow of water, and
Speaker 1: this weekend there was news that Israeli officials had restored
Speaker 1: the water supply after strong pressure from the Biden administration,
Speaker 1: which spawned several headlines about how water service has returned
Speaker 1: in Gaza. It feels like this is like people are
Speaker 1: craving anything that is going to let them not feel
Speaker 1: bad for the Palestinian people. They just like want the
Speaker 1: news to be like it's okay, though, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 1: You don't have to feel bad. You just you don't
Speaker 1: have to value both lives the same, because yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's going to be okay. So the headline Times of Israel,
Speaker 1: Israeli official confirms that Israel has resumed water supply to Gaza.
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal White House says Israel has resumed
Speaker 1: water service in southern Gatta Gaza. And when CNN briefly
Speaker 1: developed a moral compass for like fifteen seconds and press
Speaker 1: National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on the US support for Israel,
Speaker 1: Sullivan similarly stated that Israel had now turned the water
Speaker 1: pipe back on, as if there was.
Speaker 2: Like one main spigot that just crank it to the left, and.
Speaker 1: He's trying to evoke the end of Fury Road, like
Speaker 1: oh god, one yeah, just like one pipe. We turned
Speaker 1: the big pipe on for the dusty poor people. Row,
Speaker 1: can you all just stop asking us questions? But first
Speaker 1: of all, Israel isn't alleging that the water has been
Speaker 1: turned on for all of Gaza. Their Energy and Infrastructure
Speaker 1: Minister Israel Cats specifically said that the water would be
Speaker 1: turned on only in the south of the Gaza strip,
Speaker 1: specifically to help push civilians to move south. So basically
Speaker 1: admitted that it was just a carrot on a stick
Speaker 1: to speed up this mass forced displacement with people out
Speaker 1: of their homes. Yeah, and also the water's not back on, Like,
Speaker 1: this is the thing.
Speaker 3: That's become really contentious.
Speaker 2: There's been I've seen, you know, like the way Reuters
Speaker 2: even put it, it said, you know, people are saying the
Speaker 2: water's not on. Israel says water is on in some
Speaker 2: parts of southern Gaza, right, And this is where you
Speaker 2: get into well, like mechanically, how is the water back on? Right,
Speaker 2: because a lot of people have mentioned it's not just
Speaker 2: the water's back on, Like people rely on pumps and
Speaker 2: pumps need fuel and that means electricity. There's no electricity,
Speaker 2: so how do you run it then? If not, if
Speaker 2: there's non electricity, then you need fuel like a fuel source.
Speaker 3: If there's no fuel going in, then how do you
Speaker 3: run the pumps? Right? And so this is just a.
Speaker 2: Very like it the words look nice on paper, but
Speaker 2: the lived reality like you're seeing human rights groups saying
Speaker 2: like Gaza is running dry and now people are resorting
Speaker 2: to other unsafe sources of water just to stay hydrated. Yeah,
Speaker 2: something that is the most critical fucking thing you need
Speaker 2: to sustain your life.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's it's a very Again if you're just
Speaker 2: reading headlines. You could be soothed into soothed into thinking
Speaker 2: that these people are okay, so only a million people
Speaker 2: had to be displaced to move down to the other
Speaker 2: side of this imaginary line to be safe. But yet
Speaker 2: we're still watching, like you know, like like then there's
Speaker 2: the calls for people to just go to like well,
Speaker 2: why can't Egypt take them?
Speaker 3: It's like, I'm sorry, you're talking about displacing.
Speaker 1: Them again, yeah, moving them out of the country.
Speaker 2: It's just a very like they're using this like really
Speaker 2: fucked up rationale to further displace them out of Gaza, Like, well,
Speaker 2: they can't come back here.
Speaker 3: Now because we we we.
Speaker 2: Told because we have to fight Gaza in Hamas in
Speaker 2: northern Gaza. Because they're like, yeah, y'all leave, We're gonna
Speaker 2: stay here in the place that they say they're.
Speaker 3: Gonna bomb indiscriminately.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It's just a very uh it's it's so disorienting, like
Speaker 2: as a person too, when you're like, but this is
Speaker 2: objectively fucked up, like what is the solution here? And
Speaker 2: it's just it's just more it's just more rhetoric to
Speaker 2: be like, well, these people are like animals, so it
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter, or they're being used as human shield
Speaker 2: So you know what we say, if someone's a human shield,
Speaker 2: then you've got to destroy the human shields too. There's
Speaker 2: no other there's no other course of action here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And just in terms of like source of information,
Speaker 1: like the you know, aid workers claim that we've not
Speaker 1: yet seen evidence that the water's back. Like aid workers
Speaker 1: are an important resource at a time like this because
Speaker 1: they can observe and like say what is happening on
Speaker 1: the ground. And like there's this New York Times like
Speaker 1: editorial board opa that has the title like Israel can
Speaker 1: defend itself and uphold its values. Israel is fighting, like
Speaker 1: the front page headline is different. Israel is fighting to
Speaker 1: defend a society that values human life. And it's but
Speaker 1: it's a like kind of a plea from the New
Speaker 1: York Times editorial board to be like, hey, guys, could
Speaker 1: you like not kill Like it's also what it seems
Speaker 1: like the Biden administration is doing is like nicely asking
Speaker 1: them to not kill civilians or like being like that
Speaker 1: it would be so great if like you could just
Speaker 1: like manage to not kill civilians and not say stuff
Speaker 1: like the human animals thing wasn't great. We can we
Speaker 1: not do that. But like in the article they mentioned
Speaker 1: that like these eight workers and these people, these objective
Speaker 1: observers are being killed, like are you know in the
Speaker 1: in the conflict, Like eleven journalists have already been killed
Speaker 1: in this war. At least eleven United Nations workers have
Speaker 1: already been killed.
Speaker 2: And again the journalist too, even though I think it
Speaker 2: was a Reuters camera operator who was killed. And like
Speaker 2: there were headlines that were just saying like killed from
Speaker 2: fire that came from the direction of Israel. Right, It's yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's just unfolding in like such a fucked up,
Speaker 2: horrific way every single day. And yeah, I don't like
Speaker 2: you you hear like these very just sort of like
Speaker 2: barely doing anything. Quotes come out of the White House,
Speaker 2: and it just like it seems like the White House
Speaker 2: doesn't even know what the endgame is from the Israeli government,
Speaker 2: like where they're headed with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it feels like a lot in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways, like Americans are siding with the richer side,
Speaker 1: like the side that has the like more I don't know,
Speaker 1: the one that reminds them more of the United States
Speaker 1: you know, like and so sure.
Speaker 2: Because Americans can see themselves a little bit more in
Speaker 2: the Israeli public for sure. The I don't think that's why,
Speaker 2: like the and what is happening to the people in
Speaker 2: Palestine also resonates for a group of people in America
Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, and I think it's just that's why,
Speaker 2: like this thing is happening. It's like the people are as,
Speaker 2: like minds are being split in many different ways. Other
Speaker 2: people have their minds made up or they're either anti
Speaker 2: Semitic or just don't like or Islamophobic whatever, have a
Speaker 2: hatred of Muslim people.
Speaker 3: But there are others too, or like I, what the
Speaker 3: fuck it? Where do I?
Speaker 2: It's just like it's it's again like most people saying,
Speaker 2: like what you're seeing unfolding gaza is ethnic cleansing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's that's that's really it's something that we have
Speaker 2: to reckon with too, because again, like I said, the
Speaker 2: name of this country is on the munitions that are
Speaker 2: being used on these people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's uh, let's take a break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back and we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back.
Speaker 1: And before the weekend, we had the we we asked
Speaker 1: the important question is Taylor Swift too powerful hasn't taken
Speaker 1: an L to this point? Maybe yeah, And I'm not
Speaker 1: going to call it an L. But her Aras tour
Speaker 1: did not hit my expectations at the box office. The
Speaker 1: bo was mildly boffo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't.
Speaker 2: It wasn't as baffo as we thought it would be.
Speaker 2: I mean, what was it projected? Wasn't it something closer
Speaker 2: to like over one hundred million? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think I think domestically they're expecting over one hundred million,
Speaker 1: and like they were like, this thing could go anywhere,
Speaker 1: you know, It's like yeah, yeah, and it's more in
Speaker 1: like the ninety five ninety seven million range. Obviously baffo.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want to say I don't want
Speaker 1: to be quoted as saying it's not baffo. Okay, So
Speaker 1: like I know people are going to take out of
Speaker 1: context and say I said the further record Podder record botho.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 1: So that number fell slightly below sub projections, but in
Speaker 1: just one weekend, Sorry become the highest grossing concert film
Speaker 1: ever in the US, topping Justin Bieber's Never Say Never,
Speaker 1: which made seventy three mil. In its entire run back
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven. However, I so this is relevant information
Speaker 1: because end of last week I was like, has there
Speaker 1: ever been anybody that's this big? We were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson's probably bigger internationally, but like, did he have
Speaker 1: a movie that went nuts? Like this one is going
Speaker 1: to yah out? He did? No, this is it the
Speaker 1: the that was like.
Speaker 3: That was like he's like after he died, right after
Speaker 3: he died.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like, you know, not not at the height
Speaker 1: of his power. He released a you know, concert documentary
Speaker 1: which in the US I remember sort of just coming
Speaker 1: and going, but it was, you know, a global sensation.
Speaker 1: It made two hundred and sixty two point five million dollars.
Speaker 3: Did you see it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: No, me neither.
Speaker 1: No. Yeah, I mean it was it was after like
Speaker 1: all the controversy like drastically diminished his you know, my
Speaker 1: ability to sit there and be like MJ still got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like this was I feel like because
Speaker 2: it was just sort of be like, this was what
Speaker 2: he was about to do before he died. So I
Speaker 2: feel like a lot of people were like, this is
Speaker 2: the goodbye box office visit for Michael Jackson fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but he sixty two.
Speaker 2: That's two, so that's looking like it's in peril, could
Speaker 2: be in peril, but it's also like not you know that,
Speaker 2: like people are after after this weekend, they're like international
Speaker 2: box office figures were not immediately available Sunday, but with
Speaker 2: the solid domestic opening, expectations are high that the film
Speaker 2: can surpass.
Speaker 1: Like Michael Jackson, but it's not like a guarantee, so
Speaker 1: it's like in the same rage as like as a
Speaker 1: I don't know, diminished Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2: I think they're they're not quite one to one, you know,
Speaker 2: especially in like the pre social media environment. But again,
Speaker 2: it's undeniable. Taylor Swift is truly, truly this ship is
Speaker 2: fucking it's it's religion. I'm not joking. I could. When
Speaker 2: I left the creator there was one Taylor Swift showing
Speaker 2: in full swing and I heard like I heard singing
Speaker 2: in the theater wow, And then in the lobby another
Speaker 2: one was about to gear up. And the number of like,
Speaker 2: I really see why this really is something because the
Speaker 2: number of like tween kids I saw who like weren't
Speaker 2: quite the parents like obviously don't want to send their
Speaker 2: kid to go to a concert by themselves, and they
Speaker 2: damn sure weren't going to buy another ticket to like
Speaker 2: like to, uh.
Speaker 3: What's the what's the word I'm looking for? Uh? When
Speaker 3: you're show not show?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 3: No, what the fuck am I looking for? Like when
Speaker 3: you do it at a dance, you're.
Speaker 2: A chauffeur, no chaperone, chaperone, thank you Brian that you're
Speaker 2: not going to chaperone your kids there.
Speaker 3: So like this movie is perfect because.
Speaker 2: Now, like all I saw a lot of younger kids,
Speaker 2: some other older people getting turned up at the bar.
Speaker 3: But yeah, like it was it's it's.
Speaker 1: It's rated Taylor Swift eras I think, see right, it's
Speaker 1: got some Yeah you see the Red Band trailer, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: dark dude, she's shooting Heroin like like fucking right before
Speaker 1: the prayer.
Speaker 3: Before they go on stage.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was like I mean, I definitely I
Speaker 2: saw the I saw the power and like the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I won't lie, Like the reason I went to that
Speaker 2: early thing is because I saw so many videos on
Speaker 2: social media of like how turned up the audiences were.
Speaker 1: It's wild, it's rated PG thirteen. They they're really hell yeah,
Speaker 1: because she has a song that says shit in it
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: But anyways, so the movie has also prompted an online
Speaker 1: discussion concerning movie theater etiquette. This is one. So we
Speaker 1: are firmly in the position of guy who's playing poker
Speaker 1: or checking his fantasy scores can get the fuck out
Speaker 1: of the movie theater, yeah, if he so chooses, but
Speaker 1: he should not be doing that in the theater. I
Speaker 1: am firmly in the category of like against the theater
Speaker 1: etiquette people on this one, because there's just all these,
Speaker 1: all these videos of the movie theater where I didn't
Speaker 1: even realize how big the space between the front row
Speaker 1: and the screen was until yeah, yeah, the people were
Speaker 1: like turn that into a full on dance party. Everyone's
Speaker 1: just dancing, singing, and I can see how it could
Speaker 1: be annoying to some people, And yet I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe just like go down and dance with them. Then
Speaker 1: if you're an.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as a fan of something, as a die hard
Speaker 2: fan of shit, I totally I respect their right to
Speaker 2: go fucking just losing it. Okay, lose yourself in there,
Speaker 2: because I bet you didn't have the money to go
Speaker 2: on the expensive ass tour. So this is the next
Speaker 2: best thing you can do to congregate with other like
Speaker 2: minded fans of a thing and then just have your
Speaker 2: cathartic fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, fucking do that shit.
Speaker 2: To the people who are like I can't hear over
Speaker 2: the singing, well, guess what, motherfucker, why don't you wait
Speaker 2: a little bit, because obviously the most turned up people
Speaker 2: are going to be going this weekend, right, why don't
Speaker 2: you catch that bucket catch a mattinee on another weekend
Speaker 2: down the road or whatever, Because if it's that important
Speaker 2: to you, like, you should know that, if you're part
Speaker 2: of that fandom, you should know that some people are
Speaker 2: not going to be able to contain themselves. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: so yeah, like I think I get that. You're like, like,
Speaker 2: why are these people fucking holding hands and dancing?
Speaker 3: Like you're not allowed to do that shit. But it's
Speaker 3: a fucking concert movie, ye, Like.
Speaker 2: It's it's there to it's there to be a you know,
Speaker 2: a fucking substitute for going to the actual show.
Speaker 1: The videos I saw, like the seated part of the
Speaker 1: theater like straight up emptied out, Like it was just
Speaker 1: there were like two people in the still seated. Everybody
Speaker 1: was dancing anytime like, I don't know, you seem to
Speaker 1: be a real fan of movies. Maybe you should check
Speaker 1: out this movie Footloose Mayhaps and try and take in
Speaker 1: some of the lessons. And like I've been, I've been
Speaker 1: in situations where like a bunch of people are dancing
Speaker 1: and I'm to, like in middle school dances, like I
Speaker 1: didn't always feel comfortable enough like to dance when everybody
Speaker 1: else was dancing, And like if you had put a
Speaker 1: microphone on my face at that point, I would have
Speaker 1: been probably like dancing is for doing at home, not
Speaker 1: in the public sphere. What's wrong with the sheet.
Speaker 3: Up or something? So others don't have to watch this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just you know that you're you're on
Speaker 1: the side of like not being fun not.
Speaker 2: Don't ever look if people are singing and dancing and smiling.
Speaker 3: You're an asshole. Yeah, if you're trying to break it.
Speaker 1: Up, especially this weekend, let the people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like when that whatever new fucking Minions
Speaker 2: or Despicable Me movie came out and people were wearing
Speaker 2: like tuxedos and shit and just being a goofy troll
Speaker 2: like Neme lords in the fucking theater. That's disruptive, but
Speaker 2: like this, it's a fucking concert movie. People are going
Speaker 2: to respond to it as if it's a concert. And
Speaker 2: again you're dealing with a very enthusiastic fan base. What
Speaker 2: the fuck are you expecting?
Speaker 1: How are you? Like?
Speaker 3: Do you ever?
Speaker 1: Because some people seem to experience movies like like you're
Speaker 1: supposed to experience like golf or tennis.
Speaker 2: You know where it's just like completely quiet, least.
Speaker 1: Quiet allow for absolute concentration, which I guess is like appropriate,
Speaker 1: but like I also it doesn't throw Like I like
Speaker 1: movies so much and I like seeing them in theaters
Speaker 1: so much, like I'm not thrown off my game, Like
Speaker 1: I don't need absolute uh you know, silence and focus
Speaker 1: or else the spell is broken.
Speaker 2: Roll.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: If you saw a fucking bright ass cell phone in
Speaker 2: your peripheral vision, yeah for sure. Yeah, that's actually more
Speaker 2: disruptive than like hearing loose chatter here and there. I
Speaker 2: don't give a fuck, like if it's not sustained, like
Speaker 2: whatever you have.
Speaker 3: I like to do that shit too.
Speaker 2: I used to love to fucking say witty shit, especially
Speaker 2: on dates. I'm like, yo, now you got the miles
Speaker 2: commentary to this movie, and that's like you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like I get it, you know, you want
Speaker 2: to you want to say, but like just as long
Speaker 2: as it's not consistent, sustained fucking talking, then whatever.
Speaker 3: This is a different a completely different beast.
Speaker 2: If there was like a fucking outcast wu tang uh
Speaker 2: fucking concert documentary or some shit, and they like they
Speaker 2: were like it's playing in theaters.
Speaker 3: I would be in there smoking weed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so, and I don't want to have my
Speaker 2: rights infringed upon, so I will stand up for the
Speaker 2: swifties and their right to fucking turn up and throw
Speaker 2: their friendship bracelets around all that shit, do whatever fuck
Speaker 2: you want.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just like it's like, dude, this is at
Speaker 1: home behavior. It's like, no, you're wanting to sit and
Speaker 1: watch and like catch everything is at home behavior, Like
Speaker 1: that's that's something you can do at home, but like
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't be with forty other Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: fans dancing and singing along at home. So yeah, like
Speaker 1: I would just let it happen, guys. Yeah, just just
Speaker 1: just let go and let God y'all, or just like
Speaker 1: just take the wheel.
Speaker 2: Just I'm sure the fucking energy level. I don't know
Speaker 2: this will be a true test. The energy levels may
Speaker 2: be the same this coming weekend too, And then you're like,
Speaker 2: oh shit, you know what, this might be a problem.
Speaker 1: I mean this is great mark getting for the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this though, it seemed like it
Speaker 2: seemed like every theater had like set like just devoted
Speaker 2: all of their screens to this. Yeah, to the point
Speaker 2: where I feel like they're like even when I was
Speaker 2: looking at because every time I was looking for movie tickets,
Speaker 2: I would see what the state was of the Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift screenings, and there were so many that, like, not
Speaker 2: every single thing like fully packed out, But I get
Speaker 2: sure then maybe you may have found like a quiet
Speaker 2: one to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Oh, they should do quiet ones. They should do like
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 2: I did notice the ones that had closed captioning. Those
Speaker 2: screenings had less people, Like less seats sold. Oh interesting
Speaker 2: for the closed.
Speaker 3: Caption Yeah, like the showings of that documentary.
Speaker 1: And finally, Mike Pence is out of money.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: The final FEC filing deadline of twenty twenty three just passed,
Speaker 1: allowing us all to take a look at what everybody's
Speaker 1: working with. And you're working with it's not good for Mike.
Speaker 1: Pence pretty much out of money after raising three point
Speaker 1: three million dollars in the third quarter, they have just
Speaker 1: one point two million dollars cash on hand and have
Speaker 1: racked up six hundred and twenty thousand dollars in debt,
Speaker 1: making this even satder. One undred and fifty thousand of
Speaker 1: the money they have left came from Pence's personal funds. Yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: banking on his own. Yeah. People are saying this is
Speaker 1: basically a death sentence for his campaign, like he can't
Speaker 1: even touch twenty or two hundred thousand dollars of the
Speaker 1: remaining funds because it's from donors who already gave the
Speaker 1: maximum amount, and so it's like locked up until the
Speaker 1: general election, which is not going to happen, it would appear,
Speaker 1: and they've yet to reveal whether or not Pence has
Speaker 1: even amassed enough donors to qualify for the next GOP debate.
Speaker 1: You would if he had, you would definitely be this
Speaker 1: would be the time to release that information because otherwise
Speaker 1: people are putting many a nail in your coffin and
Speaker 1: setting you off. I mean, I do think this highlights
Speaker 1: the most identifiable thing about Mike Pence, which is that
Speaker 1: he's fucking terrible with money, right.
Speaker 2: So like so bad. That's humanizing in a way. You're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you remind me just like one of my friends. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like that's not what the money's for.
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, but I got it from this other
Speaker 3: job I'm doing.
Speaker 2: I'm like that that's to fucking pay for the job
Speaker 2: you were hired to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I had to pay dude, I just got
Speaker 2: this new fucking accurate Dude, you had to pay for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I remember that was a thing like Trump
Speaker 1: was like said that he could never identify with Pence
Speaker 1: about is like he's like, yeah, the guys like broke boy,
Speaker 1: fucking broke man. How's that possible? He is so much power.
Speaker 3: He eats a stake medium rare like a poor person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm sure, like as we've covered before, like
Speaker 1: I'm sure he will become wealthy as he like fades
Speaker 1: into a life in the private sector quote unquote advising
Speaker 1: private equity companies, being on the board, aka, just like
Speaker 1: getting them access to the halls of power. But it's like,
Speaker 1: first of all, like so he got in trouble in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, it came out that he had used more
Speaker 1: than two hundred thousand dollars and leftover gubernatorial campaign funds
Speaker 1: to pay legal fees related to an email scandal from
Speaker 1: when he was governor. And then he also, like in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety he used campaign money to pay the mortgage
Speaker 1: on his house, as well as the credit card bill,
Speaker 1: golf pies, and car payments for mother's sedan.
Speaker 3: All right, Mike.
Speaker 1: His emails became a subject of controversy last year when
Speaker 1: Indie Star disclosed that he had used a personal AOL
Speaker 1: account to conduct state business, sometimes discussing sensitive security issues.
Speaker 3: Oh this is back when he was yeah, when he
Speaker 3: was governor.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, so it was just it.
Speaker 2: Was it was last year from the perspective of this
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen hour Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, anyways, I
Speaker 2: just love it was an I love that it was
Speaker 2: an AOL account. It's a movel on his crap at
Speaker 2: aol dot com.
Speaker 1: And it's just funny because he was like, his whole
Speaker 1: role was that he was like the billionaire whispered during
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, like wh when Trump would like scare
Speaker 1: the billionaires, Pence was like the steady hand. And I
Speaker 1: don't know where'd your boys go, Mike.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they know that.
Speaker 2: He look a guy who, just like we say, tries
Speaker 2: to astrally project himself out of conflict, is not gonna
Speaker 2: pass any kind of leadership test. Well, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: he's he. Hey you tried, Mike. Everyone told you it
Speaker 2: was impossible, but you still went for it. Man, you
Speaker 2: still went for it. And for that I got to say,
Speaker 2: you are absolutely stubborn and don't deserve shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're a piece of shit, man, Sorry about that.
Speaker 3: Real is gonna work out for you?
Speaker 1: Turns out it's not gonna work out. You're There were
Speaker 1: so many articles like like people need to start resurfacing
Speaker 1: all the a I wouldn't overlook Pence, or like Pence
Speaker 1: is a front runner in this campaign right when he announced,
Speaker 1: because like you know, they were clearly doing the bidding
Speaker 1: of people who are like he's very safe and would
Speaker 1: do exactly like whatever, like he was the Koch brother's
Speaker 1: main guy on the inside. And yeah, it was just
Speaker 1: it was one of those things, like the the central
Speaker 1: media narrative was evidently false to anybody who was paying attention. Right, Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I thought you said Mike Pence like the
Speaker 1: guy used to be VP and is now alienated from
Speaker 1: every conceivable base of support that could possibly propel a
Speaker 1: successful challenge to Trump. That that's who you're saying is
Speaker 1: like a relevant front runner. Yes, exactly primary. Okay, cool, cool,
Speaker 1: cool cool. The guy doesn't like, like literally shuts down
Speaker 1: like a fucking computer that's rebooting if if things get
Speaker 1: too stressful. Yeah, Mike Pence, you're talking about okayunner at
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, God, it's it's just wild though too.
Speaker 2: You see how out of touch the like the main
Speaker 2: donor classes, like the kingmaker classes, because they really like,
Speaker 2: I get who they want as president because I, yeah,
Speaker 2: this guy will play ball and set set my ship
Speaker 2: in the right direction to make as much money as
Speaker 2: possible or whatever. But they have no idea what the
Speaker 2: electorate is like, and they're like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: Why isn't this guy catching? Like what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 2: He's a jar of Best Foods mayonnaise? Since can't be
Speaker 2: that fucking offensive? Come on, y'all, isn't it inspiring?
Speaker 1: No? No, it has a fly on ahead. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: there's this thing. Uh. I think I've mentioned the idea
Speaker 1: before that like in chess, my seven year old's really
Speaker 1: into we get it because the thing, no, he's not,
Speaker 1: like he just likes chess, but like if it's a
Speaker 1: real piece of shit to be like really good, they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd like probably want to start playing for like two
Speaker 1: three hours a day. And it's like yeah, well, and
Speaker 1: and this is where we get to people not being
Speaker 1: fully developed human beings, is like and also hating the
Speaker 1: thing that they like started doing because they loved it.
Speaker 1: But there's a thing called like hope chess that a
Speaker 1: lot of beginners do that like I've found myself doing
Speaker 1: when playing chess because I'm a total beginner where you're
Speaker 1: not playing your opponent like they are a thinking, intelligent person.
Speaker 1: You're you're setting up moves based on like what you
Speaker 1: hope they'll do, right, And like I think about that
Speaker 1: idea so much ever since I learned it, just in
Speaker 1: like watching how people operate in the world, Like the
Speaker 1: the idea that like people were like putting all their
Speaker 1: cards behind Mike Pence, like they're just like, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna work out. Like they probably have like
Speaker 1: a fifteen step you know, plan for how to like
Speaker 1: take over the world. For capitalism, like even more using
Speaker 1: Mike Pence, and it's like, no, nope, you're just hoping
Speaker 1: that like somehow people like him, like the inn thing
Speaker 1: that anyways, a lot of people out here plan hope chess.
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's my metaphorm. All right. Those are some
Speaker 1: of the things that are trending on this Monday, October sixteenth.
Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
Speaker 1: the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
Speaker 1: kind to yourself, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
