Speaker 2: a dinosaur bone. It was like, that's a guy's ball sack.
Speaker 2: That's a giants throw them form.
Speaker 1: That's a giant scrolled them.
Speaker 3: Bone looks like a dude sack scrow.
Speaker 1: Dude screw broke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, anyway, what is there some confusion about that?
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's.
Speaker 3: Grotastic, No, no, no, nothing. Now I have to see this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not even a thing. It's just like this.
Speaker 1: You know how a bone, the end of a bone
Speaker 1: has like two little ball knobby.
Speaker 2: Things, like a like a ball ball.
Speaker 1: And when before people knew what dinosaurs were, they found
Speaker 1: one of those that was giant and a.
Speaker 3: Oh look a giantically.
Speaker 1: Yeah, an English English doctor looked at that and said
Speaker 1: that is a giant's scrot them. That's my best guess
Speaker 1: over here. And that was like that was where we
Speaker 1: were at, like shockingly recently, that's where we were at.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: There was like some like woman who had been also
Speaker 2: studying anatomy who probably couldn't speak up because of horrible patriot.
Speaker 2: He's like, that's not a fucking exact man.
Speaker 3: She was like, yes, doctor, we'll have it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, brilliant doctor.
Speaker 3: Yes, what's the other side of the scrotum? Like, it's
Speaker 3: just huge, giant is this is He's just they're just hanging,
Speaker 3: They're dragging on the grounds a bone.
Speaker 1: The end of it. It's such a misunderstanding of like
Speaker 1: how bones work, like scrot are what a scrot.
Speaker 3: I mean, imagine if you had like a hard scrotum
Speaker 3: like that like he did.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was telling himself, Yeah, that's like.
Speaker 2: He's like, what do you mean here, knock on my scrotum?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, anyway, Miles, who's that voice we keep hearing?
Speaker 1: We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by
Speaker 1: a brilliant comedian, writer, journalist, activists you know from places
Speaker 1: like Al Jazeera, MSNBC, The Young Turks and from the
Speaker 1: podcast The Situation Room. It's Francesca Fe.
Speaker 3: Not your girlfriend, but your best friend, and here for
Speaker 3: friends giving. I fucked up my friends, but not your girlfriend,
Speaker 3: your best friend.
Speaker 2: Friends giving. Having us here on friends amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been way too long. I'm I'm a little upset.
Speaker 3: I've been on the show.
Speaker 1: And are you mad at us a little bit?
Speaker 3: When you're here, your.
Speaker 1: Family your family like any Bad Company or Olive Garden.
Speaker 1: When you're here, you're really we're we like to think
Speaker 1: of ourselves as a family. That's because we are going
Speaker 1: to predate on.
Speaker 2: You unlimited breadsticks and hot takes, and we call it
Speaker 2: uh Geistiano. M I don't you remember Hospitaliano. That was
Speaker 2: like their whole thing.
Speaker 3: At Olive Garden that I have not been to an
Speaker 3: Olive Garden. I've never been to a red lobster and
Speaker 3: maybe only been to a sizzler once.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like that. You know, people say they have
Speaker 1: photographic memories, but it's usually they have photographic memory memories
Speaker 1: for certain things, you know, like chess prodigies. They can
Speaker 1: memorize like just a quick snapshot of the board and
Speaker 1: they will remember exactly where all the pieces were if
Speaker 1: they are in positions that they can technically be in
Speaker 1: in a game, like it just like makes sense to them.
Speaker 1: And the equivalent of that for Miles is olive garden marketing,
Speaker 1: lingo any nineties marketing.
Speaker 2: It's fucking it'salia my own birth.
Speaker 1: Remember that. I don't remember hospital.
Speaker 2: That shit was fucking dope, bro, Like.
Speaker 3: This is like a lapse of when you didn't have
Speaker 3: a babysitter for like a certain time. Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: like that's how much television you were watching.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, dude, do you want to talk about
Speaker 2: raised by TV? That's fucking me.
Speaker 3: That means let me grape you some cheese and you
Speaker 3: gotta taste this, and we can't do it enough for you.
Speaker 2: Enjoy Hospitaliano If the other one.
Speaker 1: Was from nineteen ninety eight. This is.
Speaker 3: Anti Italian discrimination.
Speaker 2: It is violence.
Speaker 3: My name is anti Italian discrimination as well, so I
Speaker 3: know it takes one of no one. It's sort of
Speaker 3: comically Italian.
Speaker 1: I like that they're trying to claim that, like grading
Speaker 1: fresh parmesan cheese on your food is like level yeah,
Speaker 1: next level hospitality. It's like, isn't that all Italian restaurants?
Speaker 1: But I guess that's not Hospitalian.
Speaker 3: Hospitalianto is leaving you the bowl all right, that's true Hospitalian.
Speaker 3: I mean I don't actually know. I feel like in
Speaker 3: Italy they're like, no, you don't get a one shred more.
Speaker 3: This says all the cheese it needs and that is it?
Speaker 3: Like that's you know what I mean? Like my dad
Speaker 3: would never like if you like over cheese, He's like,
Speaker 3: what's that for? If you don't keep correctly, my dad
Speaker 3: would be mad. But like for me, she's in my
Speaker 3: mouth exactly. Real Hospitaliano is just like leave it them,
Speaker 3: leave it on the table, do.
Speaker 2: It yourself, like hook yourself up, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that real Hospitaliano is they will do it
Speaker 1: directly into your mouth after each bite. I think that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Hospitalian is just like standing over you and making sure
Speaker 3: you're eating the food correctly and like you're not on
Speaker 3: You got to not undo the lasagna but eat it
Speaker 3: as a straight down bite with you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's like you.
Speaker 2: Can't spoon, use this spoon exactly.
Speaker 3: Let make sure to like lap up all the sauce. Beeta.
Speaker 3: It's called scart pet you know what that is. You
Speaker 3: know what you say, bread and you go with sauce.
Speaker 2: Scarpetta, that's scarpetta.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Do you also know Italian has three words for farts,
Speaker 3: three different words.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, you're shaming me right now because I
Speaker 2: should know this. But she's there's three words for farts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's loafia, Scartofia, and vendre Kia lofia. What do
Speaker 3: you think you'll is?
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lovely sod one?
Speaker 3: Right, so it's a silent but deadly Okay, okay, beautiful music.
Speaker 2: We have to do this whenever we're doing an Italian.
Speaker 3: Culture, Like Scartopia is actually arguably like the nicer one,
Speaker 3: but it's a sound, no smell, and.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah I love that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like, oh it's cute, like a little too,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then Vendragia is the real deal. That's like the sound,
Speaker 3: the smell, fire and the fury.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah it sounds bad too, they three yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, Francesca, we're going to get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going
Speaker 1: to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're
Speaker 1: talking about. We're going to talk about You're like, how
Speaker 1: it would be great if you could Jack off your ears. No,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna talk. That's what we were talking about before
Speaker 1: we started recording, was how like if you can clear
Speaker 1: the air wax up by jacking off your ears and
Speaker 1: having the ear wax just shoot out of your ears,
Speaker 1: that would roll felt good. There's not a ton more
Speaker 1: on that, so we won't go too much more into it,
Speaker 1: but I think it is just a true thing that
Speaker 1: Francesca said before.
Speaker 2: Zy gang, what is the most efficient way to clear
Speaker 2: a wax out of your ears? Because you were talking
Speaker 2: about is it candling? You go to the doctor like,
Speaker 2: don't use Q tips. I'm like, what the fuck I
Speaker 2: don't have like I mean, my mom has one of
Speaker 2: those bamboo picks that like like for like Asian bamboo picks. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but see I don't have the Asian ear wax I got,
Speaker 2: like I got, I got American ear wax. You know.
Speaker 1: American ear wax don't Yeah, I got that thick goopy
Speaker 1: goop and uh.
Speaker 3: You got we have special ear wax you guys, maybe
Speaker 3: even more so, which is podcaster. Yeah you know you
Speaker 3: got the earbuds air pods.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just steaming your ear canals. So anyway, I
Speaker 2: know there's got to be someone who has like the
Speaker 2: hack zigg Please reach out to either Jack Francisca or
Speaker 2: I let us see what is the best way that
Speaker 2: isn't Q tip based.
Speaker 1: Okah. I feel like though all those that's one of
Speaker 1: the things that I get, like banner ads for you know,
Speaker 1: like once you like gone been on the internet for
Speaker 1: a while and they start being like this is the
Speaker 1: type of belly fat that you want to avoid, and
Speaker 1: it's like one one page view before they start telling
Speaker 1: you that you want a free iPod. You know, it's like, wait,
Speaker 1: what is this from two thousand and three?
Speaker 4: Yo?
Speaker 2: They got one that's like a fucking camera that you
Speaker 2: use along side. Yo, this is too much for I
Speaker 2: don't need a fucking camera, man.
Speaker 1: We actually have that. Oh you have that? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: don't fuck with it because it hurts really bad. But
Speaker 1: my my wife loves doing this to our young'ins, doing
Speaker 1: the little camera thing.
Speaker 3: In the ear.
Speaker 1: In the ear, there's like a little camera and like
Speaker 1: connected to a little pick and you go in there
Speaker 1: and scrape it away. And my kids don't mind it
Speaker 1: as much as I do.
Speaker 3: My daughter really likes the feeling of the booker suck
Speaker 3: but she only thinks. She just thinks it's funny. But
Speaker 3: if it actually really goes to you gets anything a lot.
Speaker 3: She's like, ah, but she like likes it, like he
Speaker 3: take off and it's funny to her until.
Speaker 2: Like she's feeling it, like from behind her eyebrow, bullshit out.
Speaker 3: No she ever feels that, she'll freak out.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, it just starts twitching a little bit. No,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Elon fucking oh right, yeah yeah yeah, Miles,
Speaker 1: tell that to earth Oh my god, tell it to
Speaker 1: earth bro. Yeah, we might talk about the first Lifetime
Speaker 1: Christmas Movie with fucking hell yeah, hell yeah, all that
Speaker 1: plenty more the first Francesca. We do like to ask
Speaker 1: our guests, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: Okay, so I know I don't what you guys want.
Speaker 3: You want the embarrassing stuff, you want that real ship.
Speaker 3: You don't want something like, you know, a new sleepsack.
Speaker 3: I was looking up for my daughter.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: No, this is like a gurumu or something.
Speaker 1: That baby is.
Speaker 3: So it turns off like it's actually baby baby name though.
Speaker 2: Organic the organic, yeah, the organic of cour that looks
Speaker 2: like a potato sack with straps on it.
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know, sure, No, I did look up
Speaker 3: Matt Rife chin surgery, Yeah, jaw surgery, because.
Speaker 1: You're looking for that for your Matt right, You're like,
Speaker 1: how do I get it?
Speaker 3: So I don't know how much you guys have covered
Speaker 3: Matt Rife's right.
Speaker 1: At all.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I mean I'm looking. I just want to
Speaker 3: state I am not mad at him. I haven't watched
Speaker 3: any of his clips at all. I truly cannot stand
Speaker 3: his face. He's just not someone I would listen to generally,
Speaker 3: but he has worked hard on that face. Apparently he's
Speaker 3: admitted from what again, this is one of my like
Speaker 3: can I take a break from the news deep dives?
Speaker 3: He is admitted to getting botox, and you look at
Speaker 3: him and you're like, yeah, that's there's a lot. That's
Speaker 3: a lot of George Santos energy there, Like you see it,
Speaker 3: it's like too smooth. But then apparently his plastic surgeon
Speaker 3: went on TikTok and and posted something like oh that
Speaker 3: feeling when you've created the most perfect chin And then
Speaker 3: the person gets canceled because Matt Rife opens his special
Speaker 3: with like a domestic violence joke, like some dubbed he's
Speaker 3: fairly bottom of the barrel. Yeah, it's very old timy.
Speaker 3: It's very bottom of the barrel. It's very blue. It's
Speaker 3: it's just like not I mean, you know, he rose
Speaker 3: to fame off of TikTok and crowds, work clips, and
Speaker 3: it's like again and being hot exactly and so and
Speaker 3: part of that is this chin surgery. And he replied
Speaker 3: to this person, this surgeon, and was saying, like, you know,
Speaker 3: spreading lies will get you in like a lot of
Speaker 3: trouble or you could be sued or some some kind
Speaker 3: of reaction, which sort of tipped off to a lot
Speaker 3: of folks online that seems like it might be true,
Speaker 3: but he's not willing to admit it. And it's funny
Speaker 3: because one of his opening jokes I did watch this
Speaker 3: was also something like like I have a jawline that
Speaker 3: looks like it could like, you know, cut through whatever,
Speaker 3: something like's just like cut through a board or whatever,
Speaker 3: and and everyone likes, yeah, it's really really tough.
Speaker 1: Top here's a joke about how hot and like conventionally handsome.
Speaker 1: I well, right, and he.
Speaker 3: Kind of which is fine to do if you like. Truthfully,
Speaker 3: I've heard comics get on stage and be like, you know,
Speaker 3: I look like a guy who you know, you're always
Speaker 3: like if you're you know, I look like a guy
Speaker 3: who's going to ask you, you know, do you know
Speaker 3: who my father is? And that's another way to sort
Speaker 3: of say I look very white bread and you know, blah.
Speaker 3: But and so I think he leans into it. But
Speaker 3: it is funny that a guess he had plastic surgery
Speaker 3: and used to be super insecure about his chin before,
Speaker 3: and some monstrosity I mean, arguably beings insanely undeniably hot,
Speaker 3: gave him, like his jawline gave him an edge. That's
Speaker 3: where I wanted to go with that. He gave him
Speaker 3: that edge.
Speaker 1: You think, this just like cut through glass with this
Speaker 1: ship exactly. This jaw looks criminal. You think, Miles, Miles, Miles,
Speaker 1: come on, this is what y'all want? That's this motherfucker
Speaker 1: looked like, I don't want that. This looked like he
Speaker 1: looks like he was drawn by like one of those
Speaker 1: nineties Superman comic artists.
Speaker 3: Like it's no, it just looks like an AI recreation.
Speaker 2: You remember anyway, You remember in the Mask, the bad
Speaker 2: guy Dorian when he gets the mask.
Speaker 1: And puts it on hot.
Speaker 2: He looks like if you put on the mask and
Speaker 2: turn his like big old head into some weird cinder
Speaker 2: block shit I don't know about, and.
Speaker 1: That's what people want. That's what people want. It's okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I mean whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, yeah, I was looking that up. That that
Speaker 3: is my search history we have.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a wild back and forth with the surgeons,
Speaker 2: like talking shit and he's like, hey, buddy, Like, why
Speaker 2: don't you fucking hey man? That could get you in
Speaker 2: trouble saying the truth feut loud in this day and age.
Speaker 3: But I also like, isn't that not the move? Isn't
Speaker 3: the move to just be like, yeah, I had surgery
Speaker 3: and don't I look great? And then my other thought
Speaker 3: was like I've had so I had my wisdom teeth removed.
Speaker 3: This is a long story when I didn't really need
Speaker 3: them removed, and so I had some like jaw rupture
Speaker 3: and jaw stuff. If when you get jaw surgery, they
Speaker 3: have to break your jaw and realign it, do you
Speaker 3: know how risky that is for the rest of your body? Like,
Speaker 3: since I haven't had my like WISDM teeth removal, that
Speaker 3: I didn't actually need it. Fucked up my entire shit.
Speaker 3: I had like repetitive strain injury. I can't, I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I still can't use a regular mouse, like all my
Speaker 3: nerve endings and ship in my arms and my forms.
Speaker 3: It really your jaw is so crucial to how your
Speaker 3: whole spine and your body are actually working and connected.
Speaker 3: And if you break that, it's just like, that is
Speaker 3: really fucking serious anyway, just a of all the surgeries
Speaker 3: to get it's incredibly serious.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's willing to suffer his art.
Speaker 3: Pay for a physical air.
Speaker 1: His art is having a fucking sick jab. I haven't
Speaker 1: watched him, so yeah, I shouldn't touch it either. But
Speaker 1: it's just everything I hear about him is very very
Speaker 1: funny to me, and like his joke. Yeah, like everything
Speaker 1: I hear about him is like why this guy.
Speaker 3: Had once said, Matt Rife looks like Phil and Lil's
Speaker 3: mom from Rugrats, And now I can't.
Speaker 1: That's a shot. Oh No, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Overrated?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not trying to do I guess maybe it's
Speaker 3: perfectly rated. Okay, But here's I think Champagne is overrated.
Speaker 3: Maybe I've said this before on the show, but it
Speaker 3: is too sweet, always gets you too drunk, always, and
Speaker 3: it's just it's too expensive, I guess, and it's stupidly
Speaker 3: seen as like a status symbol. I think champagne is gross. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I prefer a brute it Abruzzo. What's the sparkling red?
Speaker 3: Is another Italian moment.
Speaker 1: I always wondered if there was a sparkling red.
Speaker 2: No, there is, there is, and you can have it
Speaker 2: chilled too. And I used to get man the region of.
Speaker 3: Italian Lambrusco, Abruzzo, Lambrusco excuse me, I'm sorry, Lambrusco is
Speaker 3: fuck yeah, Lambrusco greater than I'm just not add into champagne.
Speaker 2: No, it is interesting too, how it is like the
Speaker 2: default drink for being like and we here we are
Speaker 2: get the champagne, like we still have this the momentum
Speaker 2: of like cracking open barrels of champagne from like centuries ago.
Speaker 3: That is like if you ever gotten drunk on champagne,
Speaker 3: it's the most like.
Speaker 1: The whole time. It's like it gives you acid reflux immediately.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if it's not like that's why the whole
Speaker 3: bottomless mimosa thing. Oh all no, and I've had like
Speaker 3: I've wintered. One of my Valentine's Day with my ex
Speaker 3: went to like a bottomless champagne vounce. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 3: this will be cute found on an event brighte never
Speaker 3: do that. I ended the night puke, having puked in
Speaker 3: a doorway of a bank, and then crying in the
Speaker 3: shower about how I ruined, Like, oh, it was so
Speaker 3: perfect and so champagne, and champagne doesn't It'll like you're
Speaker 3: just the steep climb to being drunk and then it'll
Speaker 3: drop you super quick.
Speaker 2: No one has a good champagne drunk story, Like, no
Speaker 2: one's ever like I love champagne because every time I drink,
Speaker 2: but everyone's like, man, I fuck, I fucked up again.
Speaker 2: I went to fucking bottomless mimosa brunch, the hip hop,
Speaker 2: the trap brunch again. We drank nine bottles of y cleft,
Speaker 2: the fucking cheap ass sparking wine, and I'm fucking sick
Speaker 2: in fucking Koreatown again.
Speaker 3: Like I imagine champagne is good if it's and I don't,
Speaker 3: I guess maybe what is it done? Perry or like
Speaker 3: mum or what's the other, Like, I guess if it's
Speaker 3: top top, top top sons. Yes, if it's top tier.
Speaker 3: And that's why I guess if you spend you know,
Speaker 3: thousands of dollars on a really incredible bottle, I don't
Speaker 3: know what then I think maybe it's good, but the
Speaker 3: time it's bad.
Speaker 1: Combined with berry for some reason, strawberries with champagne, Like,
Speaker 1: those two compliment each other better, and like it doesn't
Speaker 1: didn't make sense to me that they would compliment each
Speaker 1: other as well as they do, but they Yeah, I
Speaker 1: get most of my folly ideas from Bruno Mars songs.
Speaker 1: That that is what I like this one, like, bro,
Speaker 1: the song's about me. Have you tried it? Though? Like
Speaker 1: like makes champagne taste way better for some reason. Anyways,
Speaker 1: what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Closing the door on your cat at night so they
Speaker 3: cannot sleep with you, not sleeping with your cat mmmmm hmm,
Speaker 3: all right, because the cat doesn't understand that there's no
Speaker 3: ins and outs. You're either in or you're out, you know,
Speaker 3: so they want to go in, they want to go out,
Speaker 3: They want to me. I'm bringing the toy they want
Speaker 3: to like. And then I get so like every time
Speaker 3: I go pee, you're like worried you're gonna wake the
Speaker 3: cat because then and then you gotta slip back into
Speaker 3: the same exact like contorted position you were in when
Speaker 3: you know, and then yeah, and I'm just like, you
Speaker 3: know what, you're out, You're out of here. No sleeping
Speaker 3: with me, and the other thing I'll say instead of
Speaker 3: co sleeping is also overrated. Co sleeping with your partner overrated. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I currently on an experiment, full disclosure. We're sleeping in
Speaker 3: separate beds, in separate rooms, and it is wonderful. It
Speaker 3: is so good. If you look, a lot of people
Speaker 3: have similar sleep schedules, similar sleep routines. They all, you know,
Speaker 3: everyone where like reads their little book and then they
Speaker 3: go to sleep and then good night. Some people are
Speaker 3: like holding hands. Some people cut off.
Speaker 1: If I only go to sleep holding each other's hands
Speaker 1: with just big, serene smiles, looks like.
Speaker 2: You're about to like you're about to die on the Titanic.
Speaker 1: Exactly every night, every night, couple.
Speaker 2: From reading that book to your kids.
Speaker 3: But it's like, you know, I have to get up
Speaker 3: at the ass crack of dawn when the baby wakes
Speaker 3: up and that's my job. That's the thing, you know,
Speaker 3: my my shift, I guess, and I can wake up
Speaker 3: early but not if not right.
Speaker 1: That is your job. Okay, yeah, that's your job. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's your job.
Speaker 3: But matt leeb and I yeah, And it's been good.
Speaker 3: We've been sleeping in separate beds and it's nice. I
Speaker 3: get sleep well.
Speaker 2: Yo, Her Majesty has the cat. The cat would try
Speaker 2: and sleep with me, and I'm like, you get the
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm trying to sleep and I know you
Speaker 2: fucking asked you want to take up all this fucking space. No,
Speaker 2: because I'm also very like, I'm very like empathetic in
Speaker 2: that sense. I'm like, oh, ship, they sleep and I
Speaker 2: don't want to find and then I don't sleep well.
Speaker 2: So it's been an eternal argument between me and Her
Speaker 2: Majesty where she's I'm like, yo, get that cat out
Speaker 2: the bed or I'll do something like you walk the
Speaker 2: cat up, And I'm like, what the is the cat
Speaker 2: in the Like it's fucking three in the morning to
Speaker 2: go to the bathroom, Like what do you want me
Speaker 2: to do? Fucking I can't do a whole fucking you know.
Speaker 1: You won't even open both your eyes at the same
Speaker 1: time when you go to the bathroom. I don't know ument.
Speaker 1: I don't know about me.
Speaker 2: I like, i have to say full max sleepy when
Speaker 2: I'm going to the bathroom middle of the night.
Speaker 3: How do you do that? Because I I have to
Speaker 3: cross baby's room. And so I'm like, and you can't
Speaker 3: be creepy quiet and stay asleep, because there's there's something
Speaker 3: very wakeful about trying to not make noise.
Speaker 1: I got that.
Speaker 2: I got that sound machine and blast and like it's
Speaker 2: fucking summer jam in there. Oh me, So there's no way.
Speaker 2: Like if the little if the guy's child heard my ship,
Speaker 2: then they call the Pentagon because we have a human
Speaker 2: weapon on our hands.
Speaker 3: Same same, But you know, in my head, I'm like,
Speaker 3: they heard the creek.
Speaker 1: Oh I do? That was like fuck?
Speaker 2: They never wake up? But yeah, uh new Pairs ship.
Speaker 2: We love it, we folks, we love it.
Speaker 1: The cats are like nocturnal, right, or at least part nocturnal,
Speaker 1: so they they just yeah they sounds.
Speaker 2: Like eighteen hours a day though, Yeah they sleep. It's
Speaker 2: like you get this.
Speaker 3: If you don't sleep right now, you have another chance.
Speaker 3: Every whole day is your chance. Yeah, me, no have chance,
Speaker 3: Like I need a sleeper and I feel bad. She's
Speaker 3: outside of the door, what you know, And then she's loud. Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, ear plugs, white noise. We've got everything. If
Speaker 3: if any intruder came into our house, we would.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They're like, they're like trying to wake you up to
Speaker 2: know your values. Hey, hey, what the fuck is this ship?
Speaker 3: She should have gun to my head? Yeah, white noise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just wake up. The house is gone. You're just
Speaker 1: in a bed and a field. Yeah, just down to
Speaker 1: the studs somehow. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back and talk about Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: Fuck it, and we're back. And there was a New
Speaker 1: York Times event of some sort and Elon Musk showed
Speaker 1: up dressed like launch Pad mcquack. He shout to JM
Speaker 1: that was his observation writer jams so funny and also
Speaker 1: looking like he's just fresh off a new facelift of
Speaker 1: some sort.
Speaker 2: Something going on. People on Twitter are saying he looked
Speaker 2: like meanute, like Vincent Donofrio when he was Edgar and
Speaker 2: Men in Black.
Speaker 1: He does look like someone he he looks like somebody
Speaker 1: is wearing an Elon musk.
Speaker 2: He's like, yo, shift the face part a little bit
Speaker 2: on the phone around Yeah, but like, yeah, we have
Speaker 2: to apologize and walked her. Yeah, sorry, we didn't have
Speaker 2: to mention this fuck wad again. But he put in
Speaker 2: the performance of a life. He's somehow besting himself with
Speaker 2: the outrageous, outlandish behavior and fully jettisoning himself from planet Earth.
Speaker 2: So at this like New York Times, book Dealer, whatever event. Shit,
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I was feeling when I
Speaker 2: watched it was like sad, weird, uncomfortable, omni cringe, I
Speaker 2: guess what to call it. When the topic of his
Speaker 2: recent love of anti Semitic conspiracy theories came up, because
Speaker 2: you know, for those that probably are probably no look,
Speaker 2: on November fifteenth, he basically announced that he was like
Speaker 2: a card carrying anti Semite and like doubled down on it,
Speaker 2: and that replies like clarifying it, and that lent to
Speaker 2: obviously the Advertiser exodus, and it's been the biggest thing
Speaker 2: hanging over the site ever since. And when he was
Speaker 2: asked about it, he was like, you know, it's probably
Speaker 2: the dumbest post I think I've ever made. But then
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, well you know you went, you took
Speaker 2: that trip to Israel. You know that maybe that looked
Speaker 2: that looked like a you know, flascid apology tour. This
Speaker 2: is when he absolutely took off. So here is him.
Speaker 2: This is the question that's being asked, is in reference
Speaker 2: to you know.
Speaker 1: What was that Israel tour?
Speaker 2: And are you what's going on with the anti Semitism?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: And his answer isn't like offensive so much as it's
Speaker 1: like just he seems like he's losing his grip on reality.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, well, like just keep that in mind that
Speaker 2: throughout all this he's sniffling weird and looking at the
Speaker 2: audience like it's for c's or something. But anyway, here
Speaker 2: he is talking about what was really going on with
Speaker 2: me right now.
Speaker 5: But there's a public perception that that was part of
Speaker 5: a apology tour, if you will, that this had been
Speaker 5: said online, there was all of the criticism, There was
Speaker 5: advertiser believing we talked about about it.
Speaker 4: They stopped you hope, don't advertise.
Speaker 5: You don't want them to advertise?
Speaker 1: No, what do you mean?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: If somebody blackmail me with advertising, black Maley with money,
Speaker 4: go fund yourself.
Speaker 2: The whole audience like.
Speaker 1: Yourself a little laugh. Okay, I hope it is Bob.
Speaker 2: Talking straight to Bob Iger because Disney fucking pulled ads.
Speaker 2: He's like, what's up, Bob Biker.
Speaker 1: Well let me ask you. Then he's doing this weird
Speaker 1: don't advertise head audience, dude.
Speaker 2: The audience is even like, yo, what is this? This
Speaker 2: like people are doing the uncomfortable laughter, like oh.
Speaker 3: Right now, like if Kermit the Frog, like you know,
Speaker 3: like peeled off his green skin and revealed like do
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like faces sitting and he's
Speaker 3: no Elon. Elon's very Kermit right now. He's just kind
Speaker 3: of like and he's turning his head very like gou bye.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: He's got a weird Remember how Kirme's little cousin was
Speaker 3: like pink and you're like, why are you pink? It's weird,
Speaker 3: one of the most pink. He's very rad anyway, whatever,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. It's more than just how stupid he looks.
Speaker 1: Right. I love that though too.
Speaker 2: The fucking the interview is trying to be like right,
Speaker 2: and I get that you can just say that.
Speaker 1: But in reality, you need money to run aside.
Speaker 5: If part of the underlying model, at least today, and
Speaker 5: maybe it needs to shift, maybe the answers it needs
Speaker 5: to shift away from advertising. If you believe that this
Speaker 5: is the one part of your business where you will
Speaker 5: be beholden to those.
Speaker 2: Who have this view, what do you do?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 5: I understand that.
Speaker 1: But there's a reality to just right. Yes, I love that.
Speaker 1: He's like, right, asshole, there's a reality, right.
Speaker 3: I thinks this is cool. I'm just like, oh, the
Speaker 3: twelve year old.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know mentioned that there's a reality, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I love.
Speaker 2: How it even has to be like like, bro, like
Speaker 2: you got what he's gonna bring up Linda Yakarino, who's
Speaker 2: in the audience, who's in charge of doing I mean.
Speaker 5: Jacharino is right here and she's got to sell advertise.
Speaker 4: Absolutely so absolutely no, tell actually what what this advertising
Speaker 4: boycott is is going to do.
Speaker 1: It's it's going to kill the company. H And then
Speaker 1: I had turned and.
Speaker 4: The whole world well, no that those advertisers killed the company.
Speaker 1: Every will document it in great detail.
Speaker 5: But there are these advertises I imagine are going to say.
Speaker 5: They're gonna say we didn't kill the company. Yeah, they're
Speaker 5: gonna say.
Speaker 1: To tell to Earth. But they're gonna say, why.
Speaker 5: Say youl On that you killed the company because you
Speaker 5: said these things and that they were inappropriate things and
Speaker 5: that they didn't feel comfortable on the platform.
Speaker 4: Right, that's what I say. And let's see how Earth
Speaker 4: responds to that.
Speaker 1: Tell it to Earth, yo, Francesca, tell it Earth, Bam,
Speaker 1: this is it.
Speaker 3: I mean it is like again when when billionaires are Karen's,
Speaker 3: it's not just the manager. It's like, tell it to Earth, right,
Speaker 3: I want all of Earth to know. And like he's
Speaker 3: still not on Mars. You're not on Mars. We can't
Speaker 3: wait for you to get there.
Speaker 2: Go right, we can't wait for that interplanetary disaster to
Speaker 2: unfold live for all of us to watch.
Speaker 1: But like it's when he says, like when he goes
Speaker 1: they're going to kill the company and we're documenting in
Speaker 1: great detail, is like that's that's when you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is like he's having a mental health crisis, like that.
Speaker 1: This does not make like the fact that the interviewer
Speaker 1: is like there keeps having to be like but reality exists,
Speaker 1: doesn't it's Earth?
Speaker 3: But that's it's I know he's making not only his
Speaker 3: midlife crisis but also his mental illness all of our
Speaker 3: business and it's awful and he's truly spiraling and there's
Speaker 3: nobody who can has ever been able to like pull
Speaker 3: him back.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And it's also like, just try to act like, you
Speaker 3: know what, like a businessman, act, you know, someone even
Speaker 3: someone who's smart. Just try to act smart a little bit,
Speaker 3: you know. And he can't do that because I think, again,
Speaker 3: it's not important to him. He doesn't actually have any
Speaker 3: admiration or respect for anyone who does make money or
Speaker 3: anyone who is actually a smart investor or businessman. He
Speaker 3: wants to be cool and he wants to be a Nazi.
Speaker 3: He wants to be a cool Nazi. And that's it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I agree with you, though, I mean, he's a child,
Speaker 3: he's ever he's I mean, I also think like wealth
Speaker 3: and and racism. I hate when people say that their
Speaker 3: mental illnesses, but they certainly aren't. I think they can be. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I'm just like it's I just want this. He's
Speaker 3: gonna fucking run for office at some point, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. Like that's where I feel like the
Speaker 3: Elon Musk story is headed.
Speaker 1: But well, I don't know, guys.
Speaker 3: You guys have talked about everything.
Speaker 2: The Senate, it's not going to be the White House.
Speaker 1: But why But I mean he's already like the most
Speaker 1: power you know, one of the most powerful people in
Speaker 1: the history of the planet. Like, why would he need
Speaker 1: to run for office?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: He I guess he but it's like from a personal perspective,
Speaker 1: it feels like maybe he needs I think that's too risky.
Speaker 2: That would that's too risky because that would actually require
Speaker 2: getting votes, and like that's measurable. Like I don't think
Speaker 2: he could handle taking that out, so cannot speak publicly.
Speaker 3: Like I'm sorry, and I know he's narrow divergent, but
Speaker 3: I know the community does not claim him, but he
Speaker 3: cannot speak in public. He's terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Later in the interview, do you see them You watch
Speaker 3: the part where he doesn't remember the dude's name called him.
Speaker 2: Jonathan, right, and he's like, that's your friend.
Speaker 3: I thought he's like it's Andrew, but I yeah.
Speaker 2: But anyway, go on, sir. But then right after that,
Speaker 2: he then talks about how he has this other really
Speaker 2: fantastic take about unions and what like what the problem
Speaker 2: with unions are. It's Again, this is someone who is
Speaker 2: not just saying whatever the fuck they want to out loud.
Speaker 4: I disagree with the idea of unions, but perhaps for
Speaker 4: a reason that is different than people may expect, which
Speaker 4: is I just don't like anything which creates kind of
Speaker 4: a lords and peasants sort of thing, and unions, sir,
Speaker 4: naturally try to create negativity in a company and create
Speaker 4: a sort of lords and peasants class situation. There are
Speaker 4: many people at Tesla who have gone from working on
Speaker 4: the line to being and senior management. There is no
Speaker 4: lords and peasants. Everyone eats the same table.
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone needs the same table unless you're a person
Speaker 2: of color, and then there's a whole other section for
Speaker 2: you to go to called the jungle.
Speaker 1: Uh from me because I don't like seeing you.
Speaker 2: It's not lords and peasants. It's more like an overseer
Speaker 2: slave relationship that I like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is it's so fun when you see
Speaker 3: like a you know, so called free thinking billionaire just
Speaker 3: sort of parrot the exact same you know, corporate line
Speaker 3: that CEOs have parroted for the time immemoriam of like,
Speaker 3: you know, that would make it feel like there's you know,
Speaker 3: friction between us person and I completely underpay and will
Speaker 3: fire if they at all try to former union. It's like,
Speaker 3: you know, it would seem as if there's a power
Speaker 3: imbalance there fucking is a power imbalance. It's like instead
Speaker 3: of being like, no, I like to think of us
Speaker 3: as a family, you know.
Speaker 1: Tell me about that thing that I like to ignore
Speaker 1: the power imbalance and ten isn't there and pretend that
Speaker 1: we're all a family and have a horse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm very excited right that the UAW
Speaker 3: has announced that they are going to be unionizing non
Speaker 3: union workshops, I mean factories, auto auto factories across the country,
Speaker 3: and Tesla is absolutely included in that. And I know
Speaker 3: actually that workers are trying to unionize and they are
Speaker 3: also and this maybe sounds a little weird, but they're
Speaker 3: they're embarrassed that they because they like the company they
Speaker 3: work for. They believe in Tesla, you know, they like
Speaker 3: the ev world and they think it is cutting edge,
Speaker 3: and they are engineers and they're and whatnot and whatever
Speaker 3: else it involves. And they fucking want him gone. They
Speaker 3: truly want him gone. Yeah, And so I mean, I
Speaker 3: just can't get over like I think truly. I know
Speaker 3: you guys have talked about this, perhaps, but the stunt
Speaker 3: to go to Israel, which the Onion had one of
Speaker 3: the best headlines, which was, you know, he is so
Speaker 3: thankful to return to an apartheid state kisses the ground
Speaker 3: alas this is the ground of a neo apartheid state.
Speaker 3: Beyond that, I think it's incredibly cynical. And it's cynical
Speaker 3: because this is someone who called the Anti Defamation League
Speaker 3: promoting racism against white people. Then he said he would
Speaker 3: remove pro Palestine keywords and got heralded by the ADL,
Speaker 3: And you're like, the ADL is not an honest arbiter here.
Speaker 3: They don't have ending anti semitism in their interests. And
Speaker 3: the fact that Israel welcomed the likes of Elon Musk's
Speaker 3: Musk All Show also excuse me, I could speak, also
Speaker 3: should tell us that they are also not honest actors
Speaker 3: when it comes to truly stopping anti semitism in Israel
Speaker 3: and around the world. Like if you're gonna welcome Elon Musk,
Speaker 3: fuck that right, you don't need that ally right.
Speaker 2: And then also to say like, well, I can excuse
Speaker 2: his anti semitism because and this one narrow way. It's
Speaker 2: overlapping with something I believe, So yeah, we love it.
Speaker 2: And then he was working just you know that outfit.
Speaker 2: He was wearing an IDF dog tag too. That was
Speaker 2: like saying that was about like releasing all of the hostages.
Speaker 2: So it's like, so everything was so like empty gesture,
Speaker 2: optic shit. That's it's embarrassing for fucking everyone. And yeah,
Speaker 2: that that interview. I don't know what the state of
Speaker 2: the company is right now, but my god, that did
Speaker 2: not help fucking anything.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, yeah, that's the thing is we're still
Speaker 3: there though, Like I'm still there. I know a lot
Speaker 3: of women, people of color, trans people, queer people, they've
Speaker 3: all left, but like, I don't know, I guess I'm
Speaker 3: still like I just don't know what. Like, I guess
Speaker 3: we're all kind of waiting for maybe him, like just
Speaker 3: like this big him to get tired of his toy, you.
Speaker 2: Know, right right, I like just waited out like it happen.
Speaker 2: It's like who knows. I mean, but I mean we're
Speaker 2: close to something.
Speaker 1: They're gonna kill the company. They're gonna kill the company.
Speaker 1: The wait and we're gonna document it.
Speaker 2: That's like some shit like when like our substance, like
Speaker 2: a Karen has a meltdown where they've clearly fucked up
Speaker 2: in a pub big place. But then they get their
Speaker 2: camera out to.
Speaker 1: Take video. Guess what now they're gonna know about. She's like, no, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: it's you. What there talking about?
Speaker 2: Okay? Tell him what I did reacting to your ship.
Speaker 2: This is not a fucking move, Like, what the fuck
Speaker 2: are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Tell that to Earth?
Speaker 2: Tell that to Earth? Okay, Yeah, all right, Will Smith,
Speaker 2: Welcome to Earth.
Speaker 1: That's did he? I mean, that felt like that was him,
Speaker 1: his brain trying to improvise in that moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was that was Yeah, tell to Earth.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. We're back and Lifetime Hallmark
Speaker 1: Christmas Movie Universe. Has there ever been crossover? Have they
Speaker 1: ever like suggested that maybe these all take place in
Speaker 1: the same weird universe where people reproduce the meaningful looks
Speaker 1: that I wish there.
Speaker 2: Was, because that would be the most fucked up writing
Speaker 2: I think I could have ever imagined trying to weave
Speaker 2: it all together.
Speaker 3: But just when they're like plaids on their shirts, like
Speaker 3: match up. That's when like the baby is made.
Speaker 1: Yeah right right, yeah, that's how cuddlefish reproduces. Like they
Speaker 1: like start having patterns that like match one another as
Speaker 1: they're mating with each other. So like, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: is that fish fact from cracked or a fish fact
Speaker 1: from being a parent being a parent? Okay always Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was before we started recording, I was talking about
Speaker 1: the efficient of horse of the most efficient hunters, and
Speaker 1: that is these are both. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So then when you talk about cuddlefish mating, do you
Speaker 3: have to talk about what mating means?
Speaker 1: Uh, have the kind of stuff. Yeah, we're just like
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, just like that's how they have babies
Speaker 1: make more Yeah, exactly. Okay, when one cuddle.
Speaker 3: You don't talk about the cuddlefish is mind clit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, check out the sack on this cuddlefish.
Speaker 3: They just learned there there. There's like apparently some new
Speaker 3: research about dolphins clits. Dolphins have massive clits, massive clits. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was something recently about I think it was
Speaker 2: a snake glitterists that like literally male researchers could not
Speaker 2: find and it took female researchers like yo, man, the
Speaker 2: clit right here, bro, They're like, we know not what
Speaker 2: we're under the tail.
Speaker 1: We thought the little rattler thing.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Anyway, uh so, there is a new Lifetime Christmas movie
Speaker 1: that is breaking new ground. Country singer and former One
Speaker 1: Tree Hill actress Janet Kramer is starring in an upcoming
Speaker 1: Lifetime Christmas movie called A Cowboy Christmas Romance about a
Speaker 1: real estate agent who I think real estate agents should
Speaker 1: be the protagonists of more films. Guys, they're cool there.
Speaker 1: I just feel like real estate agents are.
Speaker 3: Always well, she's gonna give up her job by the
Speaker 3: end of this film, obviously, of course for.
Speaker 1: A simpler thing, believe it.
Speaker 2: I hate that every Like, as someone who watches a
Speaker 2: lot of these ships, it always starts off with lady
Speaker 2: or guy from the city goes to small every fucking.
Speaker 3: Is it guy, though? Is it ever a guy who
Speaker 3: decides that all he wants to do is just like
Speaker 3: not chase money and just sort of settle down.
Speaker 2: There is an occasional one, yeah, where like fast paced
Speaker 2: living dude comes in and he's like a fucking hotshot
Speaker 2: like earth fucker who's going to destroy a town and
Speaker 2: then realizes at the end he likes Christmas lights. It
Speaker 2: turns out and I don't like venture capital.
Speaker 3: We see the Snowman.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: It's like always the same, but I'm always back. Well,
Speaker 2: how's this one different? Oh it's a pretend nodding hill
Speaker 2: rip off, it's all.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's sort of like the the mystique
Speaker 3: in Magic of Christmas is. Yeah, like it worked for Scrooge,
Speaker 3: It's gonna work for everybody. It's basically just Christmas Carol
Speaker 3: over and over and over again. There's something about the magic,
Speaker 3: the lights and the cinnamon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then.
Speaker 3: Suddenly I don't want to be Henry kiss It never
Speaker 3: worked on Henry Kissingder. In fact, they really tried him
Speaker 3: up like a Christmas tree man. Yeah, they turned him
Speaker 3: into a pumpkin spice latte.
Speaker 1: Ghosts visiting him every night throughout the seventh Oh yeah
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like yo' yes, broke out of my mind.
Speaker 1: He hugged the old Jacob Marley and then as he
Speaker 1: was walking away, Jacob Marley realized he had planted a
Speaker 1: grenade in his on his chain. But yeah, So this
Speaker 1: one's about a real estate agent who returns to her
Speaker 1: hometown in Arizona. There is a to reclaim land belonging
Speaker 1: to a rancher. But get this, the two of them
Speaker 1: form a connection.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she reclaims land. It's kind of loaded.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, he's going to get the deed to her ranch.
Speaker 1: That's right. Now. Normally that is the only sexual content
Speaker 1: we would get would be implication basically, yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Usually these films like their sexual climaxes at the very
Speaker 2: end were like they are together and they kiss, and
Speaker 2: it's like the end.
Speaker 3: Yes, not so, which is not good because sex can
Speaker 3: really make or break, you know, whether yeah.
Speaker 2: Exactly, where's the follow up? And they're like, yo, there's
Speaker 2: such a mismatch sexually.
Speaker 1: Motherfucker really bad.
Speaker 2: He was looking at looking me dead in my eyes
Speaker 2: when he's going down on me, and I was like,
Speaker 2: well please.
Speaker 1: Kept winking, yeah, doing his eyebrows like this, his eyebrows
Speaker 1: while going down on me. You should know this movie.
Speaker 2: He called me mom in bed, and not in like
Speaker 2: a sexy Spanish way, not like like mommy mom. Mom.
Speaker 1: Kept his socks on.
Speaker 3: He left his socks on, you know, he actually left
Speaker 3: his cowboy boots on. He was in bed, standing on
Speaker 3: my bed.
Speaker 1: Covered the Yeah. But anyways, so she has announced guys,
Speaker 1: there there's gonna be fucking in this one. There's going
Speaker 1: to be a sex scene. Typically, sex along with swearing, drugs,
Speaker 1: and fun in general do not exist in these ultra
Speaker 1: conservative holiday movies. Also, magic like Santa Claus doesn't really exist, right.
Speaker 3: I mean Jesus watching in the corner, Like, as long
Speaker 3: as Jesus is there.
Speaker 1: Watching, I think baby Jesus.
Speaker 3: Jesus is like, but watching.
Speaker 2: On the Allmark wouldn't fuck with like a magic even
Speaker 2: advent calendar, like you know what I mean, Like if
Speaker 2: the calendar have powers that would normally be bestowed upon Christ,
Speaker 2: our savior, we don't want that here.
Speaker 3: But isn't that I mean, I guess is the magic
Speaker 3: is the intrinsic nature of Christmas? The magic of Christmas?
Speaker 3: Is it Jesus?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 3: Is that what everyone's sort of implying, Like Home Alone too,
Speaker 3: Like was the sort of like the jingle jangle and
Speaker 3: the special stuff was that Christmas? Or is that just
Speaker 3: homeless people who actually save your ass every.
Speaker 1: Single I think there's I think there's like a secular
Speaker 1: Christmas magic that is. That's what I thought best expressed
Speaker 1: in Ghostbusters too, where it's just like goodwill, you know,
Speaker 1: And I guess elf has a similar thing where it's
Speaker 1: just like happiness and joy of like groups of people,
Speaker 1: and like the way it's expressed and culminates as by
Speaker 1: like people singing together.
Speaker 3: Right, and you've explained happiness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this is I don't understand humans, but as
Speaker 1: best I can tell via Ghostbusters too. And this is how.
Speaker 3: Sparkley Sparkly is not really Jesus, but it kind of myles.
Speaker 3: Would you say it is in Lifetime in Hallmark movies
Speaker 3: because I haven't no.
Speaker 2: You know, Jesus shit in there. You are ones that
Speaker 2: they're they do. But like, for the most part, I
Speaker 2: honestly think the biggest like the purpose of all these
Speaker 2: films is like there's like a psychological like downshifting that
Speaker 2: happens at like around this time of year. People like okay,
Speaker 2: like we're going it's Christmas or it's the end of
Speaker 2: the year, and like I just need to look at
Speaker 2: something that reinforces the fact that it's the end of
Speaker 2: the year and it's still challenging narratively, and it's like
Speaker 2: I can look away and still know what the fuck
Speaker 2: happens or know exactly how this shit is gonna play out,
Speaker 2: it's not. It's fully predictable. So even as a viewer,
Speaker 2: I feel fully in control of what I'm watching because
Speaker 2: the fucking the Holidays are already whacky and shit. I
Speaker 2: think like that has a huge imp Like that's one
Speaker 2: of the big reasons why these movies are so big.
Speaker 2: It's like they're just so fucking easy to watch, Like
Speaker 2: that's it, that's it.
Speaker 3: In offensive.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but she said it's the first Lifetime Christmas
Speaker 1: movie that has a sex scene on an episode of
Speaker 1: her podcast wind Down.
Speaker 3: Is it doggy style?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, he just takes me from behind on like
Speaker 1: in a coat room. Is she pregnant?
Speaker 2: She's saying, She said. When I read it, I was like, well,
Speaker 2: this is going to be interesting. I'm like, how are
Speaker 2: we gonna do this with the baby belly?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, pregnant?
Speaker 2: Okays my eggs okay? So what oh ship? So he
Speaker 2: had that ship on the kitchen counter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't wow on the kitchen counter and they
Speaker 1: like do this thing the movie thing where they like
Speaker 1: clear off the stuff on the counter, like.
Speaker 3: Oh, and they have counter sex.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: So she definitely didn't come. I guess like him and
Speaker 3: a half minutes.
Speaker 2: If that, Yeah, he was like, oh god, thank you,
Speaker 2: there's my ranch.
Speaker 1: It's just uncut, uncut seconds.
Speaker 3: He's seventy.
Speaker 1: I meant to do that. You came because people might
Speaker 1: come back, So are you coming?
Speaker 2: I might be able to get a few more in
Speaker 2: before it's useless.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I would have thought that the first sex
Speaker 3: scene in a Lifetime film would have been, you know,
Speaker 3: soft focus in a bed, beautiful sheets on now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't all over where people eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know you're asking me. You're like when
Speaker 2: you first brought this up, like if this is affecting
Speaker 2: like my perception or how I look at these movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you famously like, dude, you're not joking. You've
Speaker 1: watched a lot.
Speaker 2: I watched a lot and I've said it before. I've
Speaker 2: tried to I've tried to sell scripts of this ship
Speaker 2: because I'm likes so easy bro, And yeah, you were,
Speaker 2: you were a thinker on this. Y'all want to fucking
Speaker 2: hack use chat GPT and it'll give you a whole
Speaker 2: motherfucking holiday movie idea. You just got to give you
Speaker 2: a dialogue. I'm telling you half the time, Like, give
Speaker 2: me a three X structure based on notting Hill but
Speaker 2: holiday themed, involving a police officer who realizes that he's
Speaker 2: anti capitalist and is in love with his partner. But
Speaker 2: like that sounds I know it's good, it's always but yo,
Speaker 2: because look we have some Ai tols.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get killed though there's gonna be some corruption
Speaker 1: at the plee that that's actually.
Speaker 2: But these I'm like, I don't for the same reason.
Speaker 2: I just want wallpaper. I don't need fine art, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't need and by fine I mean I don't
Speaker 2: need like sex scenes or none of that. Like, just
Speaker 2: show me the person who moved from the city or
Speaker 2: was living too fast and need to slow ship up
Speaker 2: and realizes what blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: I get offended by this is I mean, this is
Speaker 3: me just being so allergic to I'm so judged. I'm
Speaker 3: a something that like if I see that, or I
Speaker 3: hear a line that sounds too corny or or like
Speaker 3: horribly written or so predictable, I will like convulse and
Speaker 3: turn it off. Like I will if a show that
Speaker 3: everyone's like no, no, no, this is a really good show
Speaker 3: has a bad line or a bad actor. Immediately like
Speaker 3: I'm just like I'm out, I'm taken out of it
Speaker 3: and I can't. So it's it's so opposite. But like,
Speaker 3: I don't know what do I have. I don't have
Speaker 3: anything on necessarily, but I do like like Great British
Speaker 3: Baking Show that's sort of my speed. Yeah, yeah, yeah maybe,
Speaker 3: but I'm like, even.
Speaker 2: See, I look at it like almost like how I
Speaker 2: watch Fox News like.
Speaker 1: And I want it on.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make me angry so much. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: they really make this.
Speaker 1: Like a sosiological experiment.
Speaker 3: But it's a little bit like like like when I
Speaker 3: would like watch The Little Mermaid and then rewind and
Speaker 3: watch it again immediately after. I think it does something
Speaker 3: to your psyche where it like the conditioning that like
Speaker 3: heteronormative weirdo you should meet your love at a hoe down,
Speaker 3: Like that's that's doing something to you.
Speaker 1: I do agree with that, but yeah, I do think
Speaker 1: that a relationship, a marriage actually isn't right in the
Speaker 1: eyes of God unless.
Speaker 2: You are you serious. It doesn't make me even know
Speaker 2: I have the wildest missionary style sex after watching one
Speaker 2: of those. It was crazy on a haystack, you know,
Speaker 2: next to a fucking manger. Okay, fucking Nativity scene is
Speaker 2: ship so freaky live Nativity scene, but we go all
Speaker 2: the way through the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the three Wise men are freaky, y'all.
Speaker 2: Was looking at your business, but like this does feel
Speaker 2: like to your point, Francisca, like what we were talking
Speaker 2: about with like the TikTok dating advice, Like you can
Speaker 2: get so ground down by like whether it's capitalism or
Speaker 2: dating apps or things like that, that sometimes there is
Speaker 2: just like this weird thing of like look how simple
Speaker 2: this dumb shi it is. And in that way there
Speaker 2: is like comfort even though you might really aspire to that,
Speaker 2: but there's something about like wow, this life. Wow in
Speaker 2: this world housing crisis doesn't exist, you know, like wars
Speaker 2: of imperial wars, like all this shit is.
Speaker 1: Gone, so like some of the Dark Ship because we
Speaker 1: we watched one of the one of the oh actually
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't a holiday movie, but it was
Speaker 1: a Netflix movie that was like in the Hallmark kind
Speaker 1: of genre and the josh what was that guy's name, Joshua, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dumel was the love interest. It was like that one
Speaker 1: of the number one trending movies on Netflix, like during
Speaker 1: the pandemic and josh Tumel's character was like a fucking
Speaker 1: like Trump QAnon person. Oh god, just like coded that way.
Speaker 1: He was giving, like he was like, oh I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what. No, no, no, no, no, no. He was
Speaker 1: he was the one he got. Yeah. Basically like she
Speaker 1: came to him from the city where she had like
Speaker 1: you know, things hadn't worked out for her and then
Speaker 1: she you know, came around to his way.
Speaker 3: Think you did we Okay, But what I will say
Speaker 3: is maybe if I watched these movies, I would like
Speaker 3: I wouldn't stop because last year I did watch Last
Speaker 3: Christmas with Amelia Clark. I think it was maybe two
Speaker 3: years ago, and I Ristmas like three years ago. That
Speaker 3: shit sucked so much, Like I mean, Michelle, yeah, I
Speaker 3: was in it. I was like, Okay, that was a
Speaker 3: weird choice. But then like Amelia Clark and this dude,
Speaker 3: who's this dude, Henry Golding.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's awful, Like he's he skips at one point
Speaker 6: in the movie in the beginning, like and she's like,
Speaker 6: why are you skipping?
Speaker 3: Because I'm happy and You're just like it was bad,
Speaker 3: and so I'm like, but I was really excited because
Speaker 3: I did kind of want to watch like you know,
Speaker 3: cute Christmas meet cute stuff.
Speaker 1: Right right right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh that's right, because doesn't she work like with
Speaker 2: unhoused people or something, and like there's like a they
Speaker 2: have like it it culminates like with like a pageant scene.
Speaker 2: I feel like at the shelter.
Speaker 3: I don't think I finished it.
Speaker 2: Oh should I? You know, I'm not the last saw
Speaker 2: this shit in the fucking theater when it came out.
Speaker 2: You did, Yeah, this is what I I don't know
Speaker 2: what the fact that was a dead Heart of COVID.
Speaker 3: Yes it was. Yeah, anyway, I need more lifetime filmandemic.
Speaker 2: No, no, it was. It was right at the end
Speaker 2: of twenty nineteen. I remember because it was like, honestly,
Speaker 2: I think it was one of the last films I
Speaker 2: had seen for like.
Speaker 3: Oh, you saw it in the theater. Meanwhile, this is
Speaker 3: how much up on? I'm like, I just saw it
Speaker 3: last year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, ago.
Speaker 1: I mean there's some repertory theaters that are staging the
Speaker 1: screenings of it. That movie, so it cost thirty million
Speaker 1: dollars to make and it made one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: three million dollars, So you're not the only person who
Speaker 1: saw it in theaters.
Speaker 2: Mouth it's I'm telling you, there's something like I get
Speaker 2: some people they do it for It's like visual value,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yeah, that's why they fuck
Speaker 2: with it. I'm like half into it for that, the
Speaker 2: other half. It just feels like these movies are made
Speaker 2: with zero taste or quality in mind, and then like
Speaker 2: it's wild to watch it, Like these people know better
Speaker 2: than this, but this is what we get. And it's
Speaker 2: just so weird to see how the standards shift so
Speaker 2: dramatically for a holiday film. But if that's also interesting, Yeah, man,
Speaker 2: I think then they kind of they get naughty in that,
Speaker 2: don't they.
Speaker 1: Well I didn't finish. He's a ghost right, Oh? Sorry shit, Oh.
Speaker 3: He's a ghost. Oh I love that. I mean I
Speaker 3: don't love that, but thank god because it makes it
Speaker 3: makes his like insufferable character. Actually. See, that's the thing.
Speaker 3: I'm impatient. That's why you go to films instead of
Speaker 3: stream them, because you can't leave, although I have left theaters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's actually somebody who donated his heart hard
Speaker 1: to her. Yeah, and so she's the manifestation of like
Speaker 1: some weird like physical there's like some weird like materialist
Speaker 1: like physical you could you could like build an entire
Speaker 1: religion off of the back of like the mythology of
Speaker 1: Last Christmas.
Speaker 2: It feels like but like in.
Speaker 1: The a Heart, you are part them and therefore their
Speaker 1: reality manifests itself into your physical reality, and then you
Speaker 1: can fuck them and then that's a true Christmas spirit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like your donor always is like they get one fuck,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, all right, holy ghost.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good. I you know, what if they had
Speaker 3: done a little bit more like a little more foreshadowing,
Speaker 3: But in thirty minutes, I was like, this is bad,
Speaker 3: this is bad.
Speaker 2: No, trust me. When that ship the reveal happened, I
Speaker 2: remember looking at her magic was like, Yo, the fuck
Speaker 2: was that? I almost choked out the person next to me,
Speaker 2: Like somebody's got to take answer.
Speaker 1: So he's got to go to sleep right now, somebody's
Speaker 1: going night over this terrible plot twist. Yeah, it does end.
Speaker 1: I'm just this is all based on the Wikipedia plat summary,
Speaker 1: But it does end with organizing of a show utilizing
Speaker 1: the talents of the people at the shelter exactly, and
Speaker 1: Kate delicately performs a solo of the Wham song Last
Speaker 1: Christmas intertwined with flashbacks of her time with the dead
Speaker 1: person's ghost who she fucked while their heart was beating
Speaker 1: in her chest. That's wild, so weird, so weird. I
Speaker 1: love it though.
Speaker 2: Oh that's right because she tries to have sex with
Speaker 2: him and he says no, and they just kiss and
Speaker 2: then he literally ghosts.
