Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting because I think people don't talk enough about.
Speaker 2: How Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time.
Speaker 1: Well right to white people, definitely, yeah, like like secretly
Speaker 1: and white people are like, oh no, I also like
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, but he's very marshal esque. You know, he's
Speaker 2: very Methurian.
Speaker 1: But they don't talk about like, you know that that
Speaker 1: song whatever that one about I got throw up on
Speaker 1: my sweater whatever.
Speaker 2: That song is, mom spaghetti.
Speaker 1: There's like the unofficial like fucking white that's like the
Speaker 1: white venture capitalist national anthem.
Speaker 2: It's all about a pitch to get VC funding everything.
Speaker 1: They fucking like Peter Thial like right before J. D
Speaker 1: Vance got nominated, was like, listen to that in this
Speaker 1: fucking car. It's like it's it's like it's very significant.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I think why I think certain like
Speaker 1: white chen exters are definitely like really like Eminem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like he's fucking man. But I don't, I don't not.
Speaker 1: I'm not part of that. I like, Yeah, the last
Speaker 1: time I really checked in with Eminem is when he
Speaker 1: was in the Parking Garage.
Speaker 2: About Trump and he's orange.
Speaker 3: Yeahyle off the door hinge and he's orange orange, flapping
Speaker 3: around like a bapkin. Oh my god, three little bears
Speaker 3: trying to find the perfect porge and orange.
Speaker 2: Is that where that rhyme came from? Well, porridge out?
Speaker 2: He got real stuck on. There's a thing early, I
Speaker 2: can't rhyme anything with orange and so, like we talked about,
Speaker 2: you can do porge door hinge.
Speaker 1: Well, listen to you, guys. All I've had is one
Speaker 1: banana so far to eat today. Do you think that's enough?
Speaker 1: Because I just woke up like recently, think that's enough
Speaker 1: for the show? And I'm just gonna get a couple
Speaker 1: of cold.
Speaker 3: Brew and I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2: I think that's fine.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have a brain wife for one banana.
Speaker 1: Am I should have another banana? Maybe not on mic no, no,
Speaker 1: but that I did, I won't. I'm gonna eat bananas
Speaker 1: for the whole show and during the I've done worse.
Speaker 1: I've done worse. I mean, being twenty feet away from
Speaker 1: my laptop microphone was way worse than that from inside
Speaker 1: a well yeah, standing outside of my microphone constantly talking
Speaker 1: into nothing.
Speaker 2: That is something that we're actually pitching around is getting
Speaker 2: a baby. Jessica now grown up recording from inside a Well.
Speaker 1: That's a good idea.
Speaker 4: You've since been one up to, though, Chris, in terms
Speaker 4: of like the audacity that people have. I still think
Speaker 4: that guy who called in from like a work orientation
Speaker 4: outside of like a lecture hall was by far the
Speaker 4: worst thing we ever experienced.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was like a work yeah, work intake orientation.
Speaker 3: He was just trying to make it work, and I
Speaker 3: was like, bro, you should have just canceled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well you're never gonna catch me having a multitask
Speaker 1: at a conference as far as I know. Unless I
Speaker 1: don't see that in my future.
Speaker 5: Ted Talk coming up for you, I don't Maybe you know,
Speaker 5: maybe you know, hey, bread talks with Chris.
Speaker 1: Chris, Yeah, I got a lot of nonprofit ideas up
Speaker 1: my sleeve.
Speaker 2: I debuted it on bread X, but I think for
Speaker 2: the bread Bread Talk circuit.
Speaker 1: Yeah I could do that, you know, actually do I
Speaker 1: already do that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just need a stage, I think, Chris. We
Speaker 3: just recontextualized you talking. But we put a big red
Speaker 3: sign that says bread like the Ted Talk logo, and
Speaker 3: just back and forth.
Speaker 1: Oh that's another thing I'll do. Okay, I'll do that too.
Speaker 2: You're overwhelming Chris with this, Chris, I've only had one.
Speaker 2: We're just gonna go to the next slide on the deck, Chris,
Speaker 2: I knew hairstyle for you, picturing somebody like getting pumped
Speaker 2: up to pitch to Peter Thiel listening to.

Speaker 1: out of content? What cole brew over the tune of money?
Speaker 1: What have I've been up to? He I have been
Speaker 1: fucking losing my ship, basically getting super depressed from reading
Speaker 1: the news, like trying to recalibrate my whole like life
Speaker 1: a little bit like I've basically been in a midlife
Speaker 1: crisis where you sort of figure out that making music
Speaker 1: and writing poetry on Twitter doesn't pay, and and you
Speaker 1: one of those two things I knew, but you know
Speaker 1: you can giggy guess which one I knew, but one
Speaker 1: of them I thought by my you know maybe you know,
Speaker 1: you watch enough behind the music as a kid, and
Speaker 1: you know you start to think, maybe maybe I could
Speaker 1: also have a private jet and vomit all the time
Speaker 1: and have handlers, which I think I've talked about on
Speaker 1: the show. How that was like really attractive to me,
Speaker 1: Like if you can't, if you don't have a proper
Speaker 1: if you like, if your family fails you, you can
Speaker 1: have handlers. You know, getting a big enough drug and
Speaker 1: alcohol problem and you're signed to like a major, then
Speaker 1: they issue you like a family of like bodyguards and
Speaker 1: then alive and then yeah, and like just makes you
Speaker 1: like stop, like instead of going to like rehab or
Speaker 1: anything or like getting your ship together, you just are
Speaker 1: constantly being blocked from doing drugs physically by like a
Speaker 1: karate guy. I always thought that was so awesome, Like
Speaker 1: this guy's like kicking out of your way, like and
Speaker 1: you're just grabbing for it. No, no, you know what
Speaker 1: my way, fucking Steve, get out of my way. And
Speaker 1: then they end up like then they end up Like
Speaker 1: this is the best part because I figured this would
Speaker 1: be me, Like I would get a handler issued to
Speaker 1: me by Epic Records or whatever, and they're like, listen,
Speaker 1: this guy will not stop doing drugs anything anybody hands them.
Speaker 1: This Crafton guy, he's like out of control. He had
Speaker 1: that hit, you know where he did the sang cole
Speaker 1: Brew instead of money to the sound of that to
Speaker 1: the Pink Floyd song. I don't know how it became
Speaker 1: a hit. It's like a gangam style type thing. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he's a huge he's a huge star now, and everybody's
Speaker 1: just trying to hand them drugs because that's what happens
Speaker 1: as soon as you get famous. Everybody just wants to
Speaker 1: give you drugs. So he won't stop doing them, so
Speaker 1: you have to just kick him out of the way,
Speaker 1: and you have to. But then I'm so fucking charming
Speaker 1: that the karate guy, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah he story and I wanted to be that guy there.
Speaker 2: I wanted to be that guy.
Speaker 1: I went to like kind of like like in The
Speaker 1: Apocalypse now where the guy goes and like I don't
Speaker 1: know or something where you're supposed to like go murder
Speaker 1: somebody and then you end up just like being their
Speaker 1: friend instead and being like, actually, I see things your way.
Speaker 2: I was going to be that guy, yeah, but instead Yeah,
Speaker 2: are you a Kennedy fan? Are you into the Kennedy's
Speaker 2: at all?
Speaker 1: The family?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the family. Yeah, I'm doing I'm doing a Kennedy show.
Speaker 2: And there's a crazy story where like the JFK's like
Speaker 2: college best friend, high school best friend, like all along
Speaker 2: was like with JFK, like one of his like right
Speaker 2: hand hand man, like was put in charge of like
Speaker 2: keeping RFK junior and his brother is like clean, and
Speaker 2: they actually got him hooked on Heroin was like a
Speaker 2: fifty something. Yeah, he didn't know I think the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's charisma I thought I had. Yeah, I was like,
Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to see how that works. I
Speaker 1: wanted to see if you know, if they could they
Speaker 1: just keep throwing them at me too, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, And because you're they'll be like, oh, well
Speaker 1: that guy's done, that guy's done now, oh ship the
Speaker 1: god that Green Beret guys started doing Heroin too.
Speaker 2: Away. We hired Ermie. Yeah, Ermie, yeah, like, what's the
Speaker 2: matter with you?
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn will be my guy.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn.
Speaker 2: Yeah hooked up. Yeah, yeah, Michael Flint. You could spend
Speaker 2: it twenty four hours is Michael Flynn and just like
Speaker 2: get him hooked on what he's.
Speaker 1: Already hooked on, saying you want to hell, yeah, he's rabid.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Okay, So like what happens is you I've been calling
Speaker 1: it a midlife crisis, which and somebody, some friend of
Speaker 1: mine pointed out, like what are you gonna do? You're
Speaker 1: gonna live to be a hund and ten, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like okay, hey, yeah, okay, fine, just a crisis then.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just like trying to like I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get a job at a rehab place to be
Speaker 1: a like a greeter or like a someone who acclimates
Speaker 1: new patients to a place. Like I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: a job that is not just sitting around like fucking yeah,
Speaker 1: waiting to get famous, and because it's so boring, Like
Speaker 1: that's the thing is, even if you do, even if
Speaker 1: you did get famous, no wonder, everybody's out of their
Speaker 1: minds and like you know, trying to like seduce their
Speaker 1: judo masters into doing cocaine with them or whatever because
Speaker 1: they're bored out of their fucking mind because they only
Speaker 1: have to play like one hour a day and the
Speaker 1: rest of the day they just lose their shit, and
Speaker 1: like try and think of diabolical ways to spend the time.
Speaker 1: And anyway, I'm like just realizing that you don't have
Speaker 1: to do one or the other. Like I can have
Speaker 1: a job, like a normal job and not be.
Speaker 2: Like you know where you actually help people, yeah, or.
Speaker 1: Something where you heard of something. Yeah, I mean I'm
Speaker 1: not there yet. I'm just trying. I'm trying. I'm making steps,
Speaker 1: you know. And I got this new therapist who's so funny.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Really yeah, he's run addiction counselor but
Speaker 1: he's not a licensed therapist, but he's running a therapy.
Speaker 1: He just has an addiction counselor thing. And I'm not
Speaker 1: even I didn't even go to him for that, Like
Speaker 1: I just got wreck. He got recommended to me and
Speaker 1: I found out he's an addiction counselor, and he just
Speaker 1: is like, you know, addiction counselors have to be like,
Speaker 1: well you better cut that out, you know. So he
Speaker 1: says that about everything, like about family stuff, like I'm like,
Speaker 1: my dad's a nightmares. Like sounds like you've got to
Speaker 1: put him down, you know, And I'm.
Speaker 2: Like what I like?
Speaker 1: So it's kind of fun. And he's a dude and
Speaker 1: I prefer female therapist because I was raised by my
Speaker 1: mother primarily, and she's nice. You know, she's a good
Speaker 1: she's a good nice one. She's a good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's a good cop. So I would like to go
Speaker 1: to a woman therapist because I feel more comfortable. And
Speaker 1: and so I'm like into this guy, and and and
Speaker 1: and I'm like into like the idea that we're not
Speaker 1: getting along that well either because he like in the beginning,
Speaker 1: but then the last couple of meetings we started to
Speaker 1: get along because I kind of like him. He's just
Speaker 1: got to go tee. That's all he has, just to
Speaker 1: go tee. No mustache, just a ball, just a freaking
Speaker 1: go to. Yeah, just kind of like unbelievable. Like I'm like,
Speaker 1: I feel totally dominated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean. It's a strong look.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, who I know who's in charge in
Speaker 1: this room?
Speaker 2: I guess I got to put my dad down, he said, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know this is I know who's the alpha
Speaker 1: in this room.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 1: Anyway, he's like, I said, what kind of music do

Speaker 2: Chris.
Speaker 3: You might listen to my demo. Man two of us to.
Speaker 1: Start doing four track recordings while I'm paying for it anyway.
Speaker 1: So that's what's going on with me. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like realize, like I'm going to talk
Speaker 1: about it in other parts of it so it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter because one of one of the things I said,
Speaker 1: one of the things I've set up for Overrated Underrated
Speaker 1: is about about this sort of thing.
Speaker 2: Perfect. All right, well, Chris, we're gonna get to know
Speaker 2: you a little bit better in a moment. First, a
Speaker 2: couple of the things that we're talking about on today's episode,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe not. We'll talk so jd Vance. We're just
Speaker 2: going to continue to talk about jd Vance. Where what
Speaker 2: what's going on? They did debunk the story on Wednesday. Yes,
Speaker 2: the story took off after being officially debunked by every
Speaker 2: like major media outlet. It just like took off. Everyone
Speaker 2: was like, nah, we we think there's there's the spirit
Speaker 2: of truth to this one. So talk about that. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about the conspiracy theory that Biden is dead which
Speaker 2: continues to not go away, and how Hollywood has worked
Speaker 2: our image of the presidency. Maybe even a new theory
Speaker 2: that a fan has for why Donald Trump keeps bringing
Speaker 2: up Hannibal Lecter. All of that plenty more. But first,
Speaker 2: Chris Crofton, we do like to ask our guest, what
Speaker 2: is something from your search history?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's the Minnesota Public TV YouTube.
Speaker 3: Oh a nice, another new YouTube pulp.
Speaker 1: And man, it is Minnesota Public Television. I mean they're
Speaker 1: just doing the thing that WGBAH and Boston does it too,
Speaker 1: where they're kind of like just re airing all these
Speaker 1: old features they did in the seventies and eighties, like
Speaker 1: on their YouTube, okay, and like just some times they'll
Speaker 1: just take parts of reports, even news reports they did,
Speaker 1: like there's a there's a report on there from nightlife
Speaker 1: where guys just goes to like all these like bars
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighties Minneapolis and it's just so fun, you know,
Speaker 1: and he's just like in them and he's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's like, here's the nightlife on whatever avenue it is.
Speaker 1: He's like, this is the avenue everybody goes out. So
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna walk around in my member's only jacket
Speaker 1: and like with a microphone and like talk about bars
Speaker 1: and like go to TGI Fridays and stuff, and it's
Speaker 1: just great. Anyway. They do do a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: like that, but there's one particular thing.
Speaker 2: Like not even local bars, like just like hey, we're
Speaker 2: at the TV Fridays.
Speaker 1: Well just yeah whatever, He's just like, here's what's going
Speaker 1: on on at Bennegan's. Like no one like no one
Speaker 1: was like posting videos from those bars back then. You
Speaker 1: actually had to go in and like find out what.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Because I remember you because this is the same This
Speaker 3: feels like in the same vibe when you were watching
Speaker 3: all that like mob news footage, because it's so like
Speaker 3: it's just like texture too, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like that we don't have because everything is fucking recorded now.
Speaker 3: It's like, wait, dude, I need to see video of
Speaker 3: nineteen eighties bars in Minnesota and yeah, and now you
Speaker 3: get like a really nice speak into that.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it because it's a very
Speaker 1: different world that I did live through a little bit
Speaker 1: of it. And I'm not saying it was better. It
Speaker 1: was pretty boring, I mean, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And there was a lot more crimes. Everybody had to
Speaker 1: go out of the house and just cause trouble to
Speaker 1: pass the time. Yeah, so like there was no you know,
Speaker 1: you had to go out out of the house and
Speaker 1: just dress up and be like, well let's see what happens,
Speaker 1: you know. And that's like not really better, but it
Speaker 1: is more adventure. There's more adventure involved, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's definitely safer now because you can stay home and
Speaker 1: just door Dash and Tinder or whatever. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can just order boyfriends and and sushi and whatever else,
Speaker 1: which is fine.
Speaker 2: Three boyfriends and one sushi, please.
Speaker 1: How about eight boyfriends? And no sushi and you know,
Speaker 1: the dangerous it's a dangerous internet, so that you know,
Speaker 1: that's that's what's interesting to me is like this was
Speaker 1: like sort of a wild West of payphones, and I
Speaker 1: mean that still blows my mind that like if you
Speaker 1: couldn't get to a payphone, you were basically.
Speaker 3: Kids someone could die.
Speaker 1: I mean that was you know, you were just like
Speaker 1: I died forty yards away from a payphone I couldn't get.
Speaker 3: I was just thinking of how like I was talking
Speaker 3: to somebody about how I remember when I had to
Speaker 3: used to have a calling card number memorized so I
Speaker 3: could make a like if I didn't have change, I
Speaker 3: could die, right that from a payphone. Oh yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I died of a treatable disease because I didn't have
Speaker 1: a dime slumped over in the phone booth or it
Speaker 1: was out of order. Like you get in there and
Speaker 1: you're like finally phone, you know, and there's no receiver.
Speaker 1: It's like ripped off and you're just like okay, it's over.
Speaker 1: So anyway, this is what this is about. It's this
Speaker 1: movie called Shinders to Shinders. A surreal portrait of Hennepin Avenue.
Speaker 1: Now Hennepin Avenue was like the red light district of Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: I've got this right, Like Mini Apple was Minnesota, right,
Speaker 1: that's right?
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Because always want to call it Minneapolis, Wisconsin. I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but but it just sounds better to me.
Speaker 1: I cannot get it through my fucking head, but.
Speaker 2: Because it's like like the part of Minnesota's in the
Speaker 2: world anyways.
Speaker 1: I also don't know where Minneapolis is. Like when I've
Speaker 1: been in Minneapolis, I'm like, we're up north, Like I'm
Speaker 1: like totally insane, Like I don't look at the map.
Speaker 3: I thought we were near Arizona.
Speaker 1: I don't look at the map. Ever, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: thought we were somewhere near Oklahoma. Like that's seriously what
Speaker 1: happens when I'm right, They're like, dude, we're almost in Canada.
Speaker 2: Minneapolis is supposed to be a great city. I think
Speaker 2: I say this a lot on the show, but like
Speaker 2: the we were there for I want to move there.
Speaker 3: We were there for like a yeah, yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: I remember Hannah and I went to the Hennepin County
Speaker 3: Courthouse because.
Speaker 2: Way uh cool, did you hear it? Doing just sleeping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that because I think at the time, you're like, bro,
Speaker 3: I do not get this.
Speaker 1: Jack finds out. Jack finds out he has no friends
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know, dude.
Speaker 3: I think we were at Tago John don't want to
Speaker 3: go or something.
Speaker 1: We went acts throwing too. It's pretty fun day, pretty
Speaker 1: nice little Saturday.
Speaker 2: Sorry, and all sorts of yeah.
Speaker 1: No, no, same with Madison. The only problem is it's
Speaker 1: like frozen, like nine months out of the year. That's
Speaker 1: why it's like full. Like no one wants to go there,
Speaker 1: even venture you know, venture capitalists will leave it alone,
Speaker 1: like private equities like it's too cold for us to like.
Speaker 3: Ruin our money doesn't work there for some reason.
Speaker 1: Seriously, I'm not kidding. You want to stay where it's eventually,
Speaker 1: where it's uninhabitable is the only place that private equity
Speaker 1: won't go, Like Nashville has been totally made over just
Speaker 1: because these guys ostensibly like live music and quotes, which
Speaker 1: is not even true. They just like to be standing
Speaker 1: near it while they do.
Speaker 3: They want to that's why they're there.
Speaker 1: They think they like Nashville. They don't even know what
Speaker 1: they like. They just like fucking the you know, like
Speaker 1: taking pictures and your stuff and like like Kim Jong Unn,
Speaker 1: like they just stand next to like a band and.
Speaker 2: Go me like music.
Speaker 1: I also like music, and I like taking over the world.
Speaker 1: But also I'm into the arts.
Speaker 3: Capitalist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's what Nashville suffering from. And they
Speaker 1: won't go to the north, so that's where we gotta go.
Speaker 1: We all got to go to Minneapolis. Hell yeah, and
Speaker 1: seriously for too much longer. I went to Eau Claire
Speaker 1: on that tour with Neil Hamburger. Yeah, that was one
Speaker 1: of the stops. Man, oh man, that place is like
Speaker 1: stuck in the nineteen sixties. It's got coin operated freaking
Speaker 1: barking meters, And I was like, this is what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. What I'm talking I'm not kidding. I'm so
Speaker 1: sick of barcodes. I mean, if you have to I
Speaker 1: just spit all my microphone. If you have to use
Speaker 1: a bar code to park, if you have to scan
Speaker 1: anything to park or put in your email to park,
Speaker 1: that's when you move. That's when you move out of town.
Speaker 1: If you've not gone crazy, do you keep I would
Speaker 1: be fucked well you eventually, I've always got a fat
Speaker 1: bocket chancer down seventy bus change that happened.
Speaker 2: I have just jangling around. You got a growth there.
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of quarters, just left over from the eighties.
Speaker 1: I always keep a fat pocket to change on me.
Speaker 1: So anyway, this this movie is uh, it's called whatever
Speaker 1: I said, it was called uh and uh it's called
Speaker 1: a hint. What's called no shinders to shinders. A surreal
Speaker 1: portrait of Hennepin Avenue. So Hennepen Avenue is like this
Speaker 1: little red light district, like a block long where all
Speaker 1: the cool ship was like adult bookstores and and like
Speaker 1: red light things and also just like bars and also
Speaker 1: just a lot of people standing out on the street
Speaker 1: looking for trouble, you know, like and and sex workers
Speaker 1: and but but like it was everybody said basically like
Speaker 1: this is where it was a cool place to go
Speaker 1: because you never knew what was going to happen, Like
Speaker 1: you know, there are bad parts to it, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. This is all you know,
Speaker 1: this is all relative like but but it was an
Speaker 1: action pack block. And so they made a musical. These
Speaker 1: two dudes and a poet made a short film where
Speaker 1: they had their friends like who were dancers. They choreographed
Speaker 1: dancers in the peep shows, in the in the pinball arcade,
Speaker 1: dancing around and they had a voiceover from a black
Speaker 1: poet who's just reading about, like about writing a poem
Speaker 1: about Hennepin Avenue, and he said, his voiceover is happening
Speaker 1: while these people are doing dances in the actual locales.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's the end. WHOA this is.
Speaker 2: On fucking incredible.
Speaker 1: Uh eighty three maybe eight. So there's two features. There's
Speaker 1: a feature. They made a documentary about the making of
Speaker 1: this movie, and that's what I watched first, and then
Speaker 1: I watched the movie and they're both badass, and the
Speaker 1: whole thing is like, okay, the punchline or not the punchline,
Speaker 1: but the most amazing thing of all, which maybe me
Speaker 1: want to bring it on here, was these guys made
Speaker 1: this short film. You know, this is the kind of
Speaker 1: thing where no phones involved. They had to make this happen.
Speaker 1: They were like, I want to see people dance, not
Speaker 1: on TikTok. I want to choreograph a freaking thing with
Speaker 1: my friends on TikTok because it's nineteen eighty two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're not doing this on TikTok.
Speaker 2: Let me just say up front, not on TikTok. I'm sorry, Randy,
Speaker 2: what's TikTok?
Speaker 3: What's you shut up?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, it was before it was it.
Speaker 1: Was before M and M made that song, so nobody
Speaker 1: knew how to do anything right.
Speaker 2: So when the eminem of his time, Prince was just
Speaker 2: coming up.
Speaker 1: In fantastic documentary on this same channel, absolutely fantastic documentary
Speaker 1: also made by that local public television which is obviously
Speaker 1: well funded, but their stuff is not seen nationally. It's
Speaker 1: a documentary about First Avenue, the whole history of First Avenue.
Speaker 2: Of the club, the one from Purple Rain.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's unbelievable. And there's even a part where
Speaker 1: they talk about when Purple Rain came out, people were
Speaker 1: calling up First Avenue because they thought it was where
Speaker 1: Prince lived and leaving just for him. And they played
Speaker 1: one of them and it was like all these women
Speaker 1: calling up being like hey Prince, like they were calling
Speaker 1: First Avenue of the music club. There was like being
Speaker 1: like you give me call him back when you get
Speaker 1: a chance, and Prince Jack for real.
Speaker 3: So where do they sell like raspberry berets?
Speaker 2: For real?
Speaker 1: So people saw that movie. It still blows my mind.
Speaker 1: It's like the people call phone numbers and movies, you know,
Speaker 1: and try and talk to the characters.
Speaker 7: Five five, So this is the number, mom.
Speaker 1: Someone saw rain or a bunch of people saw that
Speaker 1: and decided that's where Prince lived, was in that club.
Speaker 1: So anyway, that that's a great documentary.
Speaker 2: Did Yeah, I guess he was shown up, but.
Speaker 1: They talk about they interview, They interview like Soul Asylum
Speaker 1: and the bands that were doing like you know, the
Speaker 1: replacements and things. But they didn't interview their replacements in that.
Speaker 1: But but anyway, Soul Asylum guy was like he didn't
Speaker 1: like when Prince came around because he was like he's
Speaker 1: acting like he owned the place. He's like, what's in
Speaker 1: the retrospect he did?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was too cool. Who is this guy as
Speaker 2: a rock star? About this other rock star? Way too cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, basically he's like he's ruining what he really was.
Speaker 1: Like he would come through when I was playing my
Speaker 1: gig and I would just feel like an idiot and
Speaker 1: and uh, you know appropriately so But anyway, it's a
Speaker 1: great documentary, really great nice about First Avenue and anybody
Speaker 1: who's into music would love it. It's very deep and
Speaker 1: has it's just anyway.
Speaker 2: Same people from the filmmakers behind Shinders to Shinders, a
Speaker 2: different filmmaker.
Speaker 1: I think there's also a great one about about Minneapolis's
Speaker 1: skid row where this guy who was a bartender on
Speaker 1: skid row in Minneapolis. Every city had him back then,
Speaker 1: where they had the single room occupancy hotels where people
Speaker 1: lived in the chicken wire above the It was like,
Speaker 1: you guys, you know what I'm talking about those hotels
Speaker 1: that were like ten bucks a night, you know. And
Speaker 1: then there were all these bars around him and they
Speaker 1: were the classic skid row from the sixties, fifties, forties. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: a documentary by the guy who was a bar, a
Speaker 1: bar owner down there who's shot all his customers and
Speaker 1: all the stuff that happened on the street. And that's
Speaker 1: that's and and then narrated it.
Speaker 3: Well, there's also another cool and I'm looking at here
Speaker 3: like about like anti racist skinheads in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2: So cool, it's so cool.
Speaker 1: I did seriously recommend this is not a joke. I'm
Speaker 1: recommending this, and this then this Shinders the Shinders thing,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell I'm take it too long. This is
Speaker 1: a we got to get to this JD. Van's character,
Speaker 1: we do, we do, fucking asshole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't talked about him up to this point
Speaker 2: on every single.
Speaker 1: Episode piece of fucking Ship. But oh yeah, So these
Speaker 1: guys made this movie and they show it Get a
Speaker 1: load of this. They show it like gorilla style on
Speaker 1: a cigarette billboard, unannounced at night and cause a traffic jam.
Speaker 1: They put up huge speakers on the street and everyone
Speaker 1: stopped their cars to watch this short film.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: You imagine showing a short film anywhere people telling you
Speaker 1: to just get out of their way, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, hey, look, I'm showing a short film.
Speaker 3: Fuck off way now, it's like, get out of my way.
Speaker 3: I'm shooting a TikTok of myself short film.
Speaker 1: Why didn't you make it a long film? Get the
Speaker 1: fuck out of my way? So anyway, just like I
Speaker 1: can't even imagine. But here's the best part. The King
Speaker 1: of Sweden was in town for some reason, and like
Speaker 1: they interviewed him after he was in He was King
Speaker 1: of Sweden, was there for some Frederick event. He happened
Speaker 1: to see the goddamn projection of the fucking he was
Speaker 1: in the traffic jam, so he goes this after his
Speaker 1: like official state visit. They said, what was your favorite part?
Speaker 1: And he's like when they showed that movie on that
Speaker 1: cigarette billboard? Yeah, wow, what was your favorite part about America?
Speaker 1: He's like, anyway, it's just a beautiful, beautiful thing and
Speaker 1: it's really weird man, and it's inspiring. His ship in
Speaker 1: Minneapolis is cool. It's cool, it's super multicultural and fucking
Speaker 1: just it just feels like a eddy still, it doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like a hashtag.
Speaker 2: Or yeah the whole steady. That album Separation Sunday about
Speaker 2: Minneapolis as well. Yeah, that's the hell of an album.
Speaker 2: I highly recommend that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just feel like people need to like get
Speaker 1: away from all this QR code stuff and just try
Speaker 1: to find somewhere where it has to be. I did
Speaker 1: we just arrived at it. I did not realize it.
Speaker 1: But it has to be somewhere freezing. Yes, it has
Speaker 1: to be really cool because fucking private private are.
Speaker 2: Money scanners don't work there.
Speaker 1: They want to go comfortable places, they don't want to
Speaker 1: do their evil and in the freezing cold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny that one guy, Sam Bank Ben Freed,
Speaker 2: he was like all about you know, preparing for the
Speaker 2: climate apocalypse that's coming. And but then he like bought
Speaker 2: an island that was going to be like completely impossible
Speaker 2: to live on in five years. Yeah, he just can't
Speaker 2: can't deal with being cold.
Speaker 1: He fucking deserves it. Yeah, I hope he gets that,
Speaker 1: gets out of his private island and gets attacked by
Speaker 1: snakes immediately, just overcome by Yeah, has his eyes packed
Speaker 1: out by sea birds.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll
Speaker 2: do it. Overrated, underrated, We'll be right back and we're back,
Speaker 2: And Chris Crofton, we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 2: and especially you, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: Underrated is oh low rent? That's crazy? Underrated is low rent?
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say that because I'm realizing that
Speaker 1: high rent is a trick. Well it's a trick. Also, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's terrible, Like that's why it's sort of funny it's underrated,
Speaker 1: Like you know, like, what do you mean silly? But
Speaker 1: I was just trying to think of, like why does
Speaker 1: like like the real taco place get replaced by a
Speaker 1: taco place that's part of a corporate chain. How does
Speaker 1: that happen? Like there's a functioning taco place that people like,
Speaker 1: and then it is removed because the rent gets too high,
Speaker 1: and then it is replaced by a chain taco place.
Speaker 1: So it's not even like subtle. It's like, oh, we're
Speaker 1: just replacing this taco place with a taco place that's
Speaker 1: like publicly traded so we can so we can like
Speaker 1: leverage it. There's no fun to have a taco place
Speaker 1: that's a standalone family business because you can't leverage it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like market, what happens is the corporate landlords
Speaker 1: hike their rent. First, they hype a town. First, they
Speaker 1: hype a town artificially, which is what happened in Nashville.
Speaker 1: They put played they hire publicists, and they plant pieces
Speaker 1: in New York Times and wherever else, like all over
Speaker 1: the place and just say Nashville is the most fun
Speaker 1: place ever and it's super inclusive and all this shit
Speaker 1: that's not and and then you and then they hype
Speaker 1: it and then and then people started coming here before
Speaker 1: there was any stuff. And I know this for a
Speaker 1: fact because I would I was working in places where
Speaker 1: they would come in and say, like, where is the stuff?
Speaker 1: And it was like, no, you're here too early. You
Speaker 1: read the hype pieces, but the stuff's not here yet.
Speaker 2: This is a this is this is a where's the
Speaker 2: grocery store?
Speaker 1: It's like reverse engineering or forward engineer. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to describe it. But they said the things were there.
Speaker 1: Before they were there, people started coming and then and
Speaker 1: then they got filled in. Like, but they attracted all
Speaker 1: kinds of capital by doing this, and that capital raises
Speaker 1: the rent. And all the other landlords who were mom
Speaker 1: and pop landlords say, oh, we got to raise the
Speaker 1: rent then, But if when they do that, they don't
Speaker 1: understand that they're sowing the seeds of their own destruction,
Speaker 1: these mom and pop landlords too, because it's really a replacement.
Speaker 1: What high rent does is it enables corporations to put
Speaker 1: every single local business out of business and replace them
Speaker 1: with the exact same businesses except they have them. And
Speaker 1: I just it never occurred to me because I just
Speaker 1: didn't understand that. I was like, why is this totally fine,
Speaker 1: successful business being put out of business for the same business,
Speaker 1: except just an inferior one.
Speaker 2: A worse one that has VC funding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those taco plays a man are a good example,
Speaker 1: Like we have all these taco places, like that's like
Speaker 1: the main dystopian business. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with so many areas gentrifying like that, like in downtown,
Speaker 3: like in little Tokyo, there's so many of these Japanese
Speaker 3: restaurants that are just going like. They're not going out
Speaker 3: of business because no one's patronizing them. They're going out
Speaker 3: of business because the landlords are like this dude said
Speaker 3: he could open up a weed dispensary and give me
Speaker 3: seven times the rent you do, So we're going to
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 1: So it comes down to landlords doing an active resistance basically,
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's not going to happen, but it
Speaker 1: could be something to at least talk about.
Speaker 2: Pretty cool, they're usually pretty cool.
Speaker 1: They're always making Yeah, they're pretty open to conversations about
Speaker 1: how they should make less money.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, but that is the thing until like regular landlords say,
Speaker 1: we're not going along with this. Just because the market
Speaker 1: raid all of a sudden is four times what it
Speaker 1: used to be. That doesn't mean that I can't just
Speaker 1: charge the old rent and be okay, because it's not
Speaker 1: like property taxes went up four times. This is just
Speaker 1: an art of This is a bubble created for them
Speaker 1: to replace an entire town. That's mine. I just hadn't
Speaker 1: quite figured it.
Speaker 3: Was the name of the taco place that closed up.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know one that I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know one particular one. It's all made up. This is
Speaker 1: all made up.
Speaker 3: No, but I don't even know of any of the concepts.
Speaker 3: I just said out loud.
Speaker 1: Hold everything, national's going fine.
Speaker 3: Some cool people are in town with their flags.
Speaker 1: Chris talks about it for clicks, But that shit. I
Speaker 1: could tell you the names of the taco places that
Speaker 1: have popped up. Well, I can tell you about one
Speaker 1: business which nobody liked here, called Calypso Cafe, but I
Speaker 1: loved it. And it was just like where I stayed with.
Speaker 1: I doubt maybe black bean salads whatever. It was just
Speaker 1: like this, and everyone who worked there was like, you know,
Speaker 1: that shit's all trash, and I was like, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's like maybe I'm trash. It's not Wendy's,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It was like lettuce and
Speaker 1: black beans and they're like we sift those through an
Speaker 1: old shoe or whatever back behind the counter. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care, I don't care. Just don't tell me,
Speaker 1: so like I would eat these healthy things. So Clypso
Speaker 1: Cafe goes out of business because and it wasn't doing badly,
Speaker 1: and it was replaced by this place called the Velvet Taco.
Speaker 3: Yeah there's a Velvet Taco.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Velvet Taco. First of all, that's
Speaker 1: the name. That's slang for that's that's sex slang.
Speaker 2: There was pink Taco, right, Pink Tacos. There was like
Speaker 2: a global taco chain that was there, just like a
Speaker 2: sex joke.
Speaker 3: There's still pink Taco, Like there's one on Sunset. I
Speaker 3: feel like still there was one and I remember in
Speaker 3: Century City and they were like what the fuck is this?
Speaker 3: And then they went away very quickly.
Speaker 1: And it's not even like a taco place. It's like
Speaker 1: they have all this like you know, it's like it's
Speaker 1: like a taco.
Speaker 3: It's like coyote ugly, but they have tacos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they put like tacos like they're like I
Speaker 1: mentioned this in my new advice column that comes out
Speaker 1: next week, but it's like a it's about you know,
Speaker 1: they put like strudle in the taco, you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean.
Speaker 1: They put like you know, my stupid joke was they
Speaker 1: put zolof Zoloft tacos, you know, like they don't, They
Speaker 1: just don't. We're just erupting taco.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: You're like, oh, what if we put Captain Crunch in
Speaker 7: a taco and called it a breakfast taco?
Speaker 1: You know, And that's what's going on. And it's like,
Speaker 1: not only is it fucking just fucking just gross and dystopian.
Speaker 1: It makes everybody sad because no one wants a Captain
Speaker 1: Crunch taco, and it makes everybody fucking sad, But it
Speaker 1: also makes me sad to see a fifty foot high
Speaker 1: sign that says fucking velvet taco. Or I used to
Speaker 1: be able to get a normal meal that kept me
Speaker 1: alive and now it's turned into a novelty. He jumped
Speaker 1: place where you have to order everything off of damn
Speaker 1: barcode and then they interview the freaking CEO and he's.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, how did I do it? Well?
Speaker 7: I paid the labor as the least I could, and uh,
Speaker 7: I guess that's the end of that. Basically that I
Speaker 7: made them all wear big plastic gloves and I made
Speaker 7: them real sad and made everybody order off the app.
Speaker 2: Oh now I have all your information, I can sell it.
Speaker 1: And I named it velvet taco because that's funny because
Speaker 1: it means sex stuff. Anyway, it's just sad. My mom
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know if this is the stuff
Speaker 1: we talked about at the top of the show is
Speaker 1: going to be on the show, But like my mom,
Speaker 1: My mom was sad, you know about that. She's like,
Speaker 1: doesn't that mean like velvet taco because she's like she
Speaker 1: watches like HBO. She knows what that.
Speaker 3: Means, right, She's like, what do you fucking think it means?
Speaker 1: Mom?
Speaker 3: Mom?
Speaker 1: Every time you voted a Republican in your life, you've
Speaker 1: ushered in these places called the velvet taco. You pretty
Speaker 1: much hold the velvet tato.
Speaker 3: So what's overrated? Velvet taco.
Speaker 2: Anyway?
Speaker 1: Just overrated, as is mom and pop landlords getting on
Speaker 1: the bandwagon and being like, oh, we can also charge
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred dollars a month for you know, they
Speaker 1: don't understand that they're playing themselves.
Speaker 2: Sure you played yourself and yeahs what's that song called
Speaker 2: lose Yourself? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna play lose Yourself. I'm gonna invite all
Speaker 1: the landlords down to the ramod.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get set myself.
Speaker 1: Up at the front of the room, tell them it's
Speaker 1: about how to make more money with venture capital or whatever.
Speaker 1: And they're all going to show up and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna put on that song and I will start saying
Speaker 1: the truth.
Speaker 2: Tell me you got a deck with some pretty compelling slides. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make them knock it over.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make them much shiners, shiners and all.
Speaker 2: We could have what we lost because you motherfuckers. All right,
Speaker 2: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: All right, We're not gonna keep talking about We talked
Speaker 2: about the JD Vance thing yesterday. We're back by the way,
Speaker 2: we talked about the JD on yesterday's trending. If you
Speaker 2: want to hear more speculation about.
Speaker 3: The the couch, restrain ourselves. Yeah, yeah, we have to.
Speaker 2: We have to cut ourselves off.
Speaker 3: You know, they're saying no glove, no love, as JD
Speaker 3: Van says.
Speaker 1: If that true that JD. Vans had sex with a couch,
Speaker 1: that would be one of the most likable things about him.
Speaker 2: That's what I've been saying. If he did that and
Speaker 2: then wrote it in his memoir, in his like coming
Speaker 2: of age memoir. I would be like, oh, maybe like
Speaker 2: he actually told the truth in this memoir. Maybe there's
Speaker 2: like a core of like something interesting.
Speaker 1: Or yeah, but exactly that's relatable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really we all did.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all acting like we've never fucked a couch.
Speaker 3: Come on, come on.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm definitely not acting like that.
Speaker 3: Fance was a deck chair, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm serious, though, that don't make it more
Speaker 1: and more human. I mean, the guys have a dark money,
Speaker 1: you know, Trojan Horse, absolute fucking Nazi. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: no way around it.
Speaker 2: You can put them in the outfit Chris he said,
Speaker 2: I love you.
Speaker 1: Oh that thing where he did on the joke where
Speaker 1: he made that joke about diet. Yeah, like he doesn't
Speaker 1: even know what he's talking about. Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: He's out of his fucking mind. He doesn't even have
Speaker 1: to talk to the world or anything. He's so used
Speaker 1: to talk to Peter Teal or whoever, like dark money
Speaker 1: people who he just goes yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And then he goes out in public and
Speaker 1: he's like, it's good I drank mountain dew and everybody
Speaker 1: thinks I'm racist?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 3: Maybe other racist?
Speaker 2: Shouldn't that you say? Nah, it's fry the mountain dew.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Get me back, take me off.
Speaker 3: The stood out of you guys anyway.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I hope he sucked a couch.
Speaker 2: Yeah me too.
Speaker 1: That's our only hope. Yeah, you're you're our only hope
Speaker 1: somewhere in there. Yeah, there's still a couch fucker, a
Speaker 1: passionate man.
Speaker 2: All right. So I want to talk about how Kamala
Speaker 2: Harris's nomination her run is being covered in the mainstream media,
Speaker 2: specifically a series of headlines that are kind of disparaging
Speaker 2: the idea of a black woman running for president, But
Speaker 2: since they put a question mark at the end of
Speaker 2: the headline, it's okays be The logic in Newsweek, is
Speaker 2: America ready for a black woman president? Question mark the conversation, Race,
Speaker 2: Gender and politics? Is the United States ready for a
Speaker 2: black woman president? Question mark USA Today? And they didn't
Speaker 2: manage to put it into a colorful pie chart, but
Speaker 2: they said, is the US ready for a black woman president?
Speaker 2: Question mark? Why a leading congressman isn't sure?
Speaker 3: You know she's also half South Asian, right. But that's
Speaker 3: it's like, it's so funny to see Democrats also push
Speaker 3: that because like they're trying to really pitch her as
Speaker 3: this person too when she's biracial, which is very interesting
Speaker 3: to see also, but yeah, are they ready for this
Speaker 3: black woman? I mean, I see, I understand like questioning that,
Speaker 3: but that has to be more of an investigation into
Speaker 3: the white supremacy that like presides over the entirety of
Speaker 3: American thinking versus like this shit, which is like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, like a black lady. It's like when this
Speaker 3: is like what these headlines feel like, rather than maybe
Speaker 3: something a bit deeper.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I think I can't believe it because
Speaker 1: those headlines are really just saying, like I mean, they're
Speaker 1: really putting a question mark on it, but yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not ready for a black president. We don't. I mean
Speaker 1: that's like you, I mean, those headlines are just like
Speaker 1: you don't really want a black president, do you? That's
Speaker 1: all it is. And and and it's insanity that we
Speaker 1: talk about race as much as we do in this country.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just so sad. It's so sad that
Speaker 1: that is like even and why does that enter into everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I but you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like who gives a shit? You know, we you
Speaker 1: know what for people, you know, especially when you're coming off,
Speaker 1: that's just unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the the idea of the president being an old
Speaker 2: white guy is very deeply rooted in how America thinks
Speaker 2: about the job, both on the right end on the left,
Speaker 2: and a big part of that. I don't know. I
Speaker 2: don't know if we can say the problem is caused
Speaker 2: by or if it's reflected by, but you know, Hollywood
Speaker 2: liberalism certainly is in lockstep with this trend. The Washington
Speaker 2: Post in twenty twenty publisher report finding that the vast
Speaker 2: majority of mainstream movies have portrayed the president as a straight,
Speaker 2: cis white male, which that's obviously been the case in
Speaker 2: real life as well. But literally anything can happen in
Speaker 2: a movie. But you know, one of these movies that
Speaker 2: made the president a straight white, CIS male had aliens
Speaker 2: being taken out by a floppy disc, you know, like
Speaker 2: literally a floppy disc that they uploaded on. Somehow the
Speaker 2: fucking alien ship had a slot for a floppy disc.
Speaker 2: But in examining one hundred and forty eight presidential depictions
Speaker 2: in movies since nineteen thirty two. They found that one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty three out of one hundred and forty
Speaker 2: eight movie character presidents were white men, and they found
Speaker 2: precisely zero examples of women of color playing fig presidents.
Speaker 2: That's fucking bonkered. Like, of the twenty five characters who
Speaker 2: didn't fall into the like straight white guy category, sixteen
Speaker 2: more people of color. Thirteen were black two where hispanic,
Speaker 2: one was Asian. The remaining nine characters were white women,
Speaker 2: and there were yeah, no women of color playing fictional presidents.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's a I mean, it's a it's a
Speaker 3: reflect I don't I can't say this is caused by Hollywood.
Speaker 3: This is I mean, like, this is the momentum of
Speaker 3: American culture. Is too, is to box people out that
Speaker 3: aren't white CIS men in terms of like who can
Speaker 3: actually lead. Obviously other people are able to rise to
Speaker 3: those heights, But yeah, I think maybe what it does though, too,
Speaker 3: is it reinforces this sort of cultural racist momentum that
Speaker 3: we have by always being like, yeah, I mean like
Speaker 3: it's probably a white guy, right, Like that's what that's
Speaker 3: what the president has to be so we can feel
Speaker 3: okay about it. And if it's a black guy as
Speaker 3: a president, means the world is ending in a movie,
Speaker 3: or there's a disaster happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Deep Impact or Danny Glover intwoenty twelve or
Speaker 2: Jamie Fox and White House Down, like those are the
Speaker 2: types of movies where the president is allowed to be
Speaker 2: black or twenty four you know, where there's a different
Speaker 2: terrorist attack every like twenty five minutes. But just in general,
Speaker 2: both voting and in movies, the idea of a woman
Speaker 2: president seems to cause some problems for people. The first
Speaker 2: movie to introduce this idea was nineteen sixty five's Kisses
Speaker 2: for My President. Got what movie is that? Kiss My President?
Speaker 2: The poster has a woman president answering the phone at
Speaker 2: you know, the desk in the Oval office, and her
Speaker 2: husband standing next to her in a hat that has
Speaker 2: like flowers all over it. For some reason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, he's like wearing like a like a like
Speaker 3: what a first lady would wear. Like it's the inverse,
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, on his head lady as a suit on.
Speaker 2: When a woman becomes president of the US, what happens
Speaker 2: to her poor husband when he becomes the first Lady.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite movies. I don't know why
Speaker 1: you guys are laughing about.
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, yeah, no, but where are you gonna
Speaker 2: get to the weird part to say, you're talking about
Speaker 2: kiss from my Presidence?
Speaker 1: Such a good movie.
Speaker 2: So it tries to mind laughter from the idea of
Speaker 2: a guy becoming the first lady and concludes with a
Speaker 2: happy ending in which the president resigns because she gets pregnant.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, wow, that's like fucking nineteen sixty five.
Speaker 1: That's like that fucking Ali G ship where he would say,
Speaker 1: aren't you worried, like if Hillary Clinton becomes president that
Speaker 1: she's gonna fall in love with? Sadama was saying, literally,
Speaker 1: oh my god, those did exactly those interviews he did
Speaker 1: as Ali G.
Speaker 3: Those early ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god, those early ones where he interviews
Speaker 1: like Henry kissing Jership are so fucking good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that that that whole thing is like, there
Speaker 1: are there are the people control everything. Sadly are just
Speaker 1: a bunch of graduates from Harvard and Yale, mostly lawyers.
Speaker 1: They have these secret clubs and they're all white men,
Speaker 1: you know, and so it is it's it's reflecting just that.
Speaker 1: I mean, this for me was like a moment. Maybe
Speaker 1: a lot of people knew about it, but I mean
Speaker 1: it was on CNN, so a lot of people knew
Speaker 1: about it, But it was right after they were starting
Speaker 1: to call for Joe Biden to resign, which I was
Speaker 1: down with, Like I understood the idea certainly. After that debate,
Speaker 1: it made sense to me that was debate was like
Speaker 1: I had to turn it off.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like when he said he beat Medicare. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're going you know what I mean, you know, and I.
Speaker 7: Loved Trump goes, yeah, you beat Medicare, You beat the
Speaker 7: hell out of it whatever that means, you know.
Speaker 1: But at that moment, I was like, okay, this is
Speaker 1: a problem. But I did not like, well, I don't
Speaker 1: think anyone like George Clooney wang in, you know, a
Speaker 1: white male, you know, and this was a panel on
Speaker 1: CNN about this decision, and and I just did not
Speaker 1: like the tone one of these insiders, like forget about
Speaker 1: carsal he's always a fucking dick, but.
Speaker 2: Also he's a guy.
Speaker 1: What is his fucking qualification? Why do they always put
Speaker 1: that white man who's just incredibly not thoughtful obviously, no,
Speaker 1: you know, and they constantly put them on because they're
Speaker 1: just like, here's our rolodex and people that we have
Speaker 1: to comment on this shit, and it's all white dudes
Speaker 1: who went to Yale and went to Harvard. It's the
Speaker 1: same club. And you know, like some white guy just says, hey,
Speaker 1: guess what, whole country, we're swapping out the president because
Speaker 1: me and Larry Summers and whoever the fuck else and
Speaker 1: and John Podesta or whatever decided he's.
Speaker 3: Got to Gothzenberg. Yeah, but it's it's also interesting to
Speaker 3: see like how the media has gone from like before
Speaker 3: they're like, don't you talk shit about Joe Biden, like
Speaker 3: because there are a lot of pundits too who like,
Speaker 3: we're like it's gonna be him. Maybe they're gonna have
Speaker 3: a virtual role call to like solidify the nomination and
Speaker 3: really telling people that were like, I don't like is
Speaker 3: this the best we can do? Like do we need
Speaker 3: to consider other things? And then suddenly like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: we love Kamala. This is the greatest thing that has
Speaker 3: ever happened. And you're like, what, yeah, last week it
Speaker 3: was this and now it's this, And I think that
Speaker 3: the the enthusiasm changes in your reporting on that. But
Speaker 3: it's interesting to see how quickly, like the punditry goes
Speaker 3: from you know, one one extreme to the other like
Speaker 3: and yeah, like.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're on board with this and always were. It
Speaker 2: turns out yeah, right, and it.
Speaker 1: Turns out like I mean, well, if it was an
Speaker 1: honest discussion, which cable news is useless for any any
Speaker 1: you know, thing that's funded by advertising is completely you know,
Speaker 1: and often often these outlets are out outright owned by billionaires.
Speaker 1: They just will not talk about when one party has
Speaker 1: got jd Vance who's part of a secret society of
Speaker 1: Roman Catholics who thinks fucking liberals are demons that need
Speaker 1: to be basically killed. You know, that's what they're pitching
Speaker 1: on that far right religious stuff, that there's this the
Speaker 1: devil is real and it's liberals. So like, when you've
Speaker 1: got one side doing that, you know, it's still we'll
Speaker 1: vote for whatever. That's the discussion. You don't you know
Speaker 1: the fact that it's even like yeah, I don't care
Speaker 1: if it's Biden, I don't care. I'll vote for Biden
Speaker 1: because the other you know, I just I just felt
Speaker 1: like the discussion was like, yes, like either way, we're
Speaker 1: voting against authoritarianism, right, you know what I mean? Right,
Speaker 1: David Axelrod, this is not time for you to show off.
Speaker 1: Why are you showing off? Why are you on here
Speaker 1: with an attitude? This is not a time for attitude,
Speaker 1: you dope?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you need to have attitude with one person,
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. Maybe like talk to him with attitude.
Speaker 1: But maybe and Joe Biden, he was like he wasn't
Speaker 1: trying to hear that. He doesn't know, he doesn't know,
Speaker 1: he doesn't know even know what he was saying. You
Speaker 1: have to drop out of the race. What race?
Speaker 2: It? Really? It was? It was the debate and also
Speaker 2: the like five to ten subsequent interviews and appearances where
Speaker 2: it's just like, wow, well yeah it was really bad.
Speaker 1: I was just like he was too old to begin with.
Speaker 1: I knew it all all along.
Speaker 3: Yeah, anything, But people like David Axelrod, like they it's
Speaker 3: easier to get mad at Joe Biden than themselves. Who
Speaker 3: are the people who put like, you know, reinforced this
Speaker 3: reelection campaign for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tried to just like force it through.
Speaker 3: Because there was there was no real primary. You know
Speaker 3: what I mean, like they really they were like, broll,
Speaker 3: don't even fucking try and step to the fucking incumbent.
Speaker 3: And I get that that's not a great look usually,
Speaker 3: but when that, given the age and what he said
Speaker 3: about it being a bridge to like a new generation,
Speaker 3: you'd kind of be like, the voters were clearly down
Speaker 3: for someone even before he announced that he was going
Speaker 3: for reelection. So like, when I see those people be like,
Speaker 3: you know, Joe really needs to suiside, it's like, dude,
Speaker 3: you were the people telling before, telling people not to worry.
Speaker 3: Shut the fuck up, Joe Biden is fine, and now
Speaker 3: you're switching it up to be like he's got to go.
Speaker 3: It's like, well, dude, you were You were the fucking
Speaker 3: person propping this up, so don't don't act news.
Speaker 1: That's what I think so too about David Oxlerod. It
Speaker 1: was like what you weren't aware, like everybody else was
Speaker 1: that this guy was old until like now, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's an emergency. It was an emergency the
Speaker 1: whole time.
Speaker 2: Then you everybody else knew, you know, it seems like
Speaker 2: we suspected, but you like the new Yeah, you're.
Speaker 1: Supposed to be the Democrat you're supposed to be the
Speaker 1: good guys, and this is this is what you're you know,
Speaker 1: you're trying to like make everybody feel like insane because
Speaker 1: everybody knew this that we just accepted it because we
Speaker 1: were told we had to. You know, we just aren't
Speaker 1: voting for fucking Trump. People, get it. Stop talking. We're
Speaker 1: not idiots. That's the other thing is like they just
Speaker 1: think these people think that the general public, the whole
Speaker 1: general public, everybody is a goddamn idiot. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: not fucking true. It is not true at all. Everyone
Speaker 1: I talked to who's you know, cartoonishly what you would
Speaker 1: assume is, you know, whatever, I'm not gonna even it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But I but when I did those like
Speaker 1: man on the Street reports that talk to people like
Speaker 1: at bus stops and ship and like, it's just like
Speaker 1: every person who's down and out that you figure, oh,
Speaker 1: that person's down and out because they're dumb. No, they're
Speaker 1: not down and out because they're dumb. They're so smart.
Speaker 1: They're just down and out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, they're unlucky, like lottery system. We live in
Speaker 2: a fucking real world, open air casino.
Speaker 3: Actually, I should be fair to because he was he
Speaker 3: was a little bit more consistent with saying Biden shouldn't run.
Speaker 3: But that was like at the end of last year.
Speaker 3: But again and I and I guess I act the
Speaker 3: axel Rod aside of it. There are many people that
Speaker 3: were part of the established friends with Rod.
Speaker 1: Huh are you friends with David Axelron?
Speaker 2: I heard Axelrod fucked a couch all. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean he's my father in law's picking up.
Speaker 2: Daddy. I mean David.
Speaker 3: He likes to be called David actually, But I do just.
Speaker 2: Want to just something you said, Chris, that like, yes,
Speaker 2: that this idea of there's a lot of like tropes
Speaker 2: you grow up thinking are true because you see them
Speaker 2: in movies and you know one of them that like
Speaker 2: other people are stupid, or that the vast majority of
Speaker 2: people are stupid, turns out not to be true. Like,
Speaker 2: the more you learn about the world, the more you're like, no,
Speaker 2: they're just like a lot a lot of people that
Speaker 2: get written off are just people. The more you read
Speaker 2: and learn about the world, the more it becomes clear
Speaker 2: that the one like theory that you always see when
Speaker 2: in movies and when you're a kid, that there is
Speaker 2: a small group of white guys who make all the
Speaker 2: decisions together and freeze everyone else out. That one is like,
Speaker 2: it seems like the most far fetched. That's the one.
Speaker 2: That's the one that we've been right about all along.
Speaker 2: Like the wealthiest one percent of the global population, it
Speaker 2: was just reported accumulated forty two trillion dollars in the
Speaker 2: past ten years. Like they're getting so much richer, so
Speaker 2: much faster. Like in the ten years since we started
Speaker 2: talking about the one percent being a problem, they've gotten
Speaker 2: so much richer, so much faster.
Speaker 1: And that's why it's hard to get out of bed
Speaker 1: in the morning. I mean, honestly, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: so it seems overwhelming, but I just like made a
Speaker 1: deal with myself.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I was just deal with myself. Oh good, I can't
Speaker 1: wait to hear about this. I'm just gonna be quiet.
Speaker 1: But no, I just think that like I made I
Speaker 1: made it. You know. I really have been feeling lately,
Speaker 1: you know, really like especially because I write the column
Speaker 1: and I do podcasts and stuff. I was just on
Speaker 1: Zach Ben's podcast Grinding to a Halt the other day,
Speaker 1: which was really fun. I don't just thought of that one,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, and uh but but I, you know,
Speaker 1: I I think about these things a lot, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how to I'm realizing that I'm not changing it.
Speaker 1: I'm not changing I'm not gonna change it. I can't
Speaker 1: change what that cabal of white men are gonna do
Speaker 1: with the candidates. But I can like stay alive and
Speaker 1: not despair because somehow I can be of help. I
Speaker 1: know it, and I don't know how it looks, but
Speaker 1: I will remain, you know, And I think about all
Speaker 1: the all the other countries that have had all these
Speaker 1: horrible things happen, fucking Palestigne, you know, just like those
Speaker 1: people are still getting up in the fucking morning and
Speaker 1: trying to live a life, and and it is absolutely
Speaker 1: horrible what people have to go through. And I, you know,
Speaker 1: I just am trying to remember that. I guess the
Speaker 1: deal with myself is that I'm going to try and
Speaker 1: keep showing up, even though I'm not sure how to
Speaker 1: how to help. I guess that's the point. But I
Speaker 1: know that waking up helps if you're if you're not
Speaker 1: a bad person, just being present, just being present on
Speaker 1: the damn earth as a good person is inspiring to
Speaker 1: other people who will then hang around to we all
Speaker 1: just have to hang around for each other and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: well that's guys, we're all still here, so I guess
Speaker 1: we need to stay, you know. I mean, just like
Speaker 1: there's something about just and that was my under overrated
Speaker 1: was just going to be that saying of putting on
Speaker 1: the oxygen mask on yourself, like before yeah, like you
Speaker 1: gotta do you gotta do the thing, you gotta put
Speaker 1: it on the child afterwards, because I feel like everybody's.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't think put it on at all.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's oxygen mask on themselves and that's it.
Speaker 1: That there's a second part to that anyway, but that's
Speaker 1: what I do think that that that's it. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. This is all like a crazy situation,
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, I just want to keep
Speaker 1: showing up, which is which is also some MODI modified
Speaker 1: slogan for some other organization.
Speaker 2: I can't think of keep showing up something like that
Speaker 2: and just doing it. Yeah yeah, yeah, there we go.
Speaker 2: Well I can't put it any better than that. Chris
Speaker 2: Crofton has always a pleasure having you.
Speaker 1: Thanks so fun, so fun, so wild.
