Speaker 3: It's most of my social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, editor, editor, Oh, so many letters to the editor, Tori,
Speaker 1: how's it going up in Portland?
Speaker 4: It's going.
Speaker 3: It's uh, you know, just mostly sitting here in the
Speaker 3: dark and the cold, feeling really bad for everyone in
Speaker 3: La honestly. Yeah, my my sister's down there. She thankfully
Speaker 3: didn't have to evacuate, but it was it was touch
Speaker 3: and go for a minute. So yeah, yeah, I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to like check in on all my people and
Speaker 3: you know, do what I can. But yeah, there's I'm like,
Speaker 3: I don't feel like there's anything going on in Portland
Speaker 3: compared to like there's snow in Atlanta and like La
Speaker 3: is still burning, yeah, and I'm just kind of sitting here,
Speaker 3: like how can I be helpful right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Atlanta gets those like every every once in a while,
Speaker 1: they get a snowstorm and like you hear the stories
Speaker 1: of people's cars being trapped on the highway for like
Speaker 1: three days. And I lived in Kentucky for a while
Speaker 1: and when there was any snow on the ground, it
Speaker 1: was like I mean, I mean the horses skidding around
Speaker 1: out there. No, we had cars, but the yeah, it
Speaker 1: just they they were not prepared. They had one truck
Speaker 1: that had just a you know, olive garden salt shaker
Speaker 1: that they would window and just sprink on the roads.
Speaker 2: And people would huge forearms just cranking salt into the road.
Speaker 2: There was I was in Minneapolis once for stand up
Speaker 2: and they had they were like, oh, tomorrow we're going
Speaker 2: to get three to four feet of snow. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, well, I'm fuck. We're not gonna be able
Speaker 2: to get anywhere. And it's just nothing, nothing of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's nothing, completely nothing.
Speaker 1: It will tunnel. They will build a city through tunnels
Speaker 1: of snow, just to yeah they did, it matters not
Speaker 1: to them. And then uh, and then some people are
Speaker 1: trying to build an entire like snow removal apparatus, like
Speaker 1: it's the first they've heard of snow every time that
Speaker 1: snows there.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get on this.
Speaker 1: Now. What is the Oh right, I've heard tell of this,
Speaker 1: I've heard tell of winter. Yeah. What is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing about who you are? I?
Speaker 5: I think this morning looked up who is the dacy
Speaker 5: girl from the Rihanna Bitch Better Have My Money music video?
Speaker 5: Because she had a dacy henchwoman who was like gorgeous,
Speaker 5: amazing whatever, And like I was like, what happened to her?
Speaker 4: And so I looked her up.
Speaker 5: Her name is Sanam Cindy, and she's still like doing stuff,
Speaker 5: still active. She seems awesome. I want to see her
Speaker 5: in more things. I don't know, that's what I looked up.
Speaker 5: Sometimes I'll have a memory from when I'm like a
Speaker 5: kid and felt representation and was like, what happened?
Speaker 6: Who was that?
Speaker 1: Who was that? Yeah? Just like wake up?
Speaker 2: Why was now the moment and not when you first
Speaker 2: saw the video?
Speaker 5: Oh? I did look her up, but then it's been like,
Speaker 5: however many years I was obsessed with her? And then
Speaker 5: but like I hadn't like thought about her in a while.
Speaker 5: And then some some like real popped up or something
Speaker 5: and it was like Rihanna made that song because she
Speaker 5: wanted her money, And I was like, I don't know
Speaker 5: this backstory, but what happened to that girl?
Speaker 4: Like what happened to her?
Speaker 1: I do love those explainer videos that have the most
Speaker 1: baseline obvious explanation. Yeah, so she actually really wanted to
Speaker 1: say money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were talking to you.
Speaker 1: I am depressed to admit that.
Speaker 2: Like on Amazon Prime, when when you pause it, it
Speaker 2: tells you all the actors in a scene, and it's
Speaker 2: so like obnoxious and idiotic, and I find it immensely helpful.
Speaker 5: That's like the pop up music video on v H one.
Speaker 5: Do you remember how I had all those pop up facts?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I love that. I would do that with every like
Speaker 5: animal actor. I'd be like, what's their backstory?
Speaker 4: What happened? Which phone is still alive?
Speaker 1: Right? What's this guy's deal?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Set right?
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 5: Put me on a set and I'll just be with
Speaker 5: the dogs in the corner.
Speaker 1: The dogs are I feel like always dead by the
Speaker 1: time I look it up.
Speaker 4: Don't say that you don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know by the time I look it up,
Speaker 1: which usually you know. I watch a lot of classic films,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I just feel I feel like they don't
Speaker 1: Like Frasier dog was like gone way too soon?
Speaker 4: How dare you? You better shut your mouth, Jack O'Brien.
Speaker 1: Wait, you thought he should have been dead sooner? Is
Speaker 1: that what we know?
Speaker 5: That dog is running out of a farm Upstates?
Speaker 1: You don't acknowledge the passing? Okay, gott I gotta get it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what what do I know? So you you don't look
Speaker 1: it up? I got it? What is?
Speaker 5: Sometimes I text Jackieth like a picture of a dog
Speaker 5: from a movie, and I'll be like.
Speaker 4: He's probably still alive.
Speaker 5: Right, that happened in the seventies.
Speaker 4: No, and I'm like, we're breaking up.
Speaker 7: Fuck you?
Speaker 1: What Chris? Is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 8: Underrated? I would say, I can't remember what my idea
Speaker 8: was for this. It's it was gonna be. I think
Speaker 8: it was gonna be that it was on my audiobook
Speaker 8: was underrated again, just so I can promote it. It's done.
Speaker 8: Advice King Anthology is done, and yeah, and it took forever.
Speaker 8: And I don't know how anyone records an audiobook except
Speaker 8: to use AI because you have to have someone who
Speaker 8: can donate fifty hours of high quality studio time, which
Speaker 8: is the equivalent of making like fourteen indie rock records.
Speaker 1: Right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 8: Like I don't know how that you know, Like the
Speaker 8: budget is like I don't even know have the budget
Speaker 8: of an indie rock band for this thing. So anyway,
Speaker 8: but it's done, and so that's underrated only because it's
Speaker 8: not even out yet, but also I need people to
Speaker 8: buy it because it's like ten it's gonna be ten bucks.
Speaker 8: It's hilarious. It's like three and a half hours of
Speaker 8: me doing stand up basically, I mean I can't read
Speaker 8: these columns without getting And my mom does the internation. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm just well, I'm just performing the columns
Speaker 8: like because they're like a lot of them are just
Speaker 8: straight up stand up except written, and so I had to.
Speaker 8: That's why it's it's gonna be fun. It's like a
Speaker 8: comedy album, and it's got some like serious stuff in
Speaker 8: it about depression and things like that, but it's it's
Speaker 8: gonna be a lot of fun. And my mom does
Speaker 8: the introduction because Tracy Moore, who wrote the introduction, she's
Speaker 8: a journalist out in Los Angeles, she couldn't do it.
Speaker 8: So it's like, oh, how great I am or whatever,
Speaker 8: you know, it's like a nice it's the introduction to
Speaker 8: the book, like, you know, who would be good at
Speaker 8: reading something about me that's like really positive. So I
Speaker 8: got my mom, who's eighty three, and she was so
Speaker 8: psyched to be in the studio and everything.
Speaker 1: And she, oh, that's great.
Speaker 8: She she rehearsed by reading. She's like, I need the
Speaker 8: book and I was like, I don't have a copy
Speaker 8: of it. She's like, I need the book to practice.
Speaker 8: So she was reading like obituaries out loud. The newspaper
Speaker 8: just toget her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I get ready for this show every day.
Speaker 8: I never I never practiced anything in my life. So
Speaker 8: I was just like blown away.
Speaker 1: What, Chris, what something you thinks overrated?
Speaker 4: Overrated?
Speaker 8: Is this any news media right now that is covering
Speaker 8: any cable news Every single bit of it should be
Speaker 8: should be thrown out the window. I mean everybody knows that,
Speaker 8: but especially now because I'm so tired of hearing about
Speaker 8: these tech guys Muskin Suckerberg, and there's a small list
Speaker 8: everybody knows of my guests Larry Ellison, and and and
Speaker 8: Peter Tiel and all and and uh, you know they
Speaker 8: they're not They say, oh, they've accrued as much wealth
Speaker 8: as during the Gilded Age, or like, we haven't seen
Speaker 8: this much wealth. But this isn't a matter of wealth.
Speaker 8: This is a matter of power. And they keep discussing
Speaker 8: this without without mentioning the richest person in the world
Speaker 8: didn't own the news, The richest person in the world
Speaker 8: didn't couldn't meddle in in in government affairs in me
Speaker 8: and mar by shutting off or turning on Spacebook. These
Speaker 8: people have power unparalleled in human history. These people are
Speaker 8: kings of the whole globe. There wasn't even an inter
Speaker 8: connected globe until four thirty years ago. So the idea
Speaker 8: that they keep getting discussed, well, it's getting really bad,
Speaker 8: getting really bad talking about this in terms of money.
Speaker 8: This is it. This is power on levels that have
Speaker 8: never been seen before. And I'm so sick of hearing
Speaker 8: it being discussed in comparison to the Gilded Age, when
Speaker 8: all you could be was like the meanest guy on
Speaker 8: the block, and you could have the biggest tower and
Speaker 8: stand around in it and be mean to your you know,
Speaker 8: immediate surroundings. But you couldn't like try and overthrow the
Speaker 8: government of England with tweets. Yeah, I mean, you just
Speaker 8: couldn't think to be you could yell at stable boys.
Speaker 8: That was what the old.
Speaker 1: Their stable boys. I mean, sure, I'm not.
Speaker 8: I'm not listen. I'm not saying that was okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Biden coming through at the end of his thing
Speaker 1: and being like, guys, some of these tech oligarchs are
Speaker 1: bad news.
Speaker 8: I think I'm glad you brought that up. I can't
Speaker 8: even I can't even process that. How can anyone process that?
Speaker 1: After like a record? And I'm like, I think there
Speaker 1: was one person with one hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: before he started, and now there's like eight of He even.
Speaker 8: Raised the corporate tax right when he was in office.
Speaker 1: No, he did nothing.
Speaker 7: That's the way.
Speaker 8: That's what I mean. Yeah, I mean, how's anyone And
Speaker 8: then we're not talking about the fires? You know, I'm
Speaker 8: sure you guys have talked about it to death and
Speaker 8: you're also living through it, and I'm I'm so sorry,
Speaker 8: I'm so sorry. It's so horrible. Yeah, and on top
Speaker 8: of all that shit, to have a guy saying stuff
Speaker 8: like that, who's the president of the United States, I mean,
Speaker 8: how much can people take? That's what I mean. It's
Speaker 8: like these, these these giant megaphones need to be turned
Speaker 8: off or we're never gonna be okay again. We're not
Speaker 8: gonna ever be okay again unless we turn these fucking
Speaker 8: things off. I remember there was a Hunter Thompson's fear
Speaker 8: loading in Las Vegas. He had a funny passage. I
Speaker 8: never forgot where he was saying. There was a machine
Speaker 8: on the Vegas Strip where for five dollars they could
Speaker 8: they would project you like one hundred feet tall on
Speaker 8: the side of a building and you could yell anything
Speaker 8: you wanted at Las Vegas, and he was saying this.
Speaker 1: He was saying, how insane that was, how sold he
Speaker 1: was of like making drugs and then seeing like some random.
Speaker 8: Let random people scream at a whole city.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I mean, we have we have
Speaker 1: you know, that's to take innovation of the past fifty years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's just that's what's over overrated is talking about
Speaker 8: things in content in ways that are not only I
Speaker 8: don't know if they're obfuscating, if are these people are
Speaker 8: too in the system to even understand. Oh, it is
Speaker 8: either just as wealthy as the as the Gilded Age.
Speaker 8: I mean they can have as many carriages as they want.
Speaker 8: I mean they can have you know, like, that's not
Speaker 8: what's happening anyway. That's that's all just occurred to me.
Speaker 1: It's just I just found out about this today.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just it's not comparable to any guilded Age.
Speaker 7: It's not.
Speaker 1: And they're richer than anybody in the guilded Age guild
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 8: Yeah exactly. And I they keep saying that, so I'm like, oh,
Speaker 8: and they're like, yeah, that's not that much different than
Speaker 8: you know, we'll be Yeah, that's and that's the message
Speaker 8: that you're supposed to calm the fuck down.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, ultimately, what is something? Do you have anything
Speaker 1: he thinks overrated or just too underrated?
Speaker 4: Well, this is cool because this is movie related. So
Speaker 4: I'm glad that click Caitlyn's here because I want to
Speaker 4: know what she thinks about this. I think very recently
Speaker 4: I've decided Harmony Karen is overrated.
Speaker 1: And here's why.
Speaker 4: He's been like paling around Miami with Jared and Ivan Ivanka,
Speaker 4: like him and his wife, they're going to like Zionist
Speaker 4: fundraising stuff all this, like like hanging out with basically
Speaker 4: the worst people in Miami. And he started a skateboard
Speaker 4: company called called edge Lord, which he is an edge
Speaker 4: lord and unfortunately they have like interesting skateboarders on there.
Speaker 4: But it made me rethink all of his movies where
Speaker 4: I was like, if you've seen Gumo he wrote kids,
Speaker 4: He's like this kind of like he's this art house
Speaker 4: tour guy.
Speaker 1: Bring Breakers was that the name of that movie? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Breakers?
Speaker 7: He directed.
Speaker 6: The other one of his I've seen is beach By
Speaker 6: and between spring Breakers and beach Bomb two of my
Speaker 6: least favorite movies of all time. So I'm fully in
Speaker 6: agreement with you mort about him being overrated. I think
Speaker 6: he sucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And there's like, have you did you see Gummo?
Speaker 6: No, I didn't see that one.
Speaker 9: Yes, you see his early stuff he has he actually
Speaker 9: there are aspects of his filmmaking which are kind of masterful,
Speaker 9: like in some ways he's able to make some stuff
Speaker 9: really beautiful. But all that stuff is like this very shocky,
Speaker 9: like it'll be like this really strange looking sort of
Speaker 9: boy in a bathtub, like eating spaghetti. It's this very
Speaker 9: But now I look at it and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 9: do you just hate poor people? Like is this like
Speaker 9: all of this just supposed to be like this is
Speaker 9: this spectacle with no heart or capacity for caring? Like
Speaker 9: it's a very I don't know.
Speaker 4: I already was like really on the fence, and now
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, he might be just like have been
Speaker 4: evil the whole time. But he is really funny on Letterman.
Speaker 4: That's the only thing about him.
Speaker 1: I need to go back and look at the Letterman
Speaker 1: interviews because otherwise not not a fan based on what
Speaker 1: I've heard so far and the kids. The script I
Speaker 1: feel like is not the thing. It's not is not
Speaker 1: What's Cool about Kids.
Speaker 6: I barely remember that movie. So I'm seeing that Harmony
Speaker 6: Krinn has a child named Lefty Bell.
Speaker 1: Lefty Bell.
Speaker 4: That's probably like a reference to like a silent film
Speaker 4: star or something, I imagine, just the way that he rolls,
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: Recalling his skateboard company, Edge Lord is pretty on the nose.
Speaker 1: But I guess nothing he does is not on the nose, right,
Speaker 1: It's pretty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a whole weird thing. I don't like it, Yeah, man,
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like this. I don't like when right wing
Speaker 1: stuff happens in skateboarding. It makes me feel very icky.
Speaker 1: Feels Yeah, what is the what's the scene? And we
Speaker 1: got more our man on the street for skateboarding here,
Speaker 1: our skater on the skateboard beat. What's the vibe?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen at least Nate Silver is telling
Speaker 1: me there's been a vibe shift everywhere across a social
Speaker 1: media and a lot of different subcultures towards the right.
Speaker 1: Is that happening in skateboarding? It feels like kind of
Speaker 1: anathema for sure.
Speaker 4: What's up, Jack, I'm here talking to a lot of
Speaker 4: teens out here on the skatebeat and these teenage boys
Speaker 4: and gals there. Look, skateboarding can be. It's it's like
Speaker 4: a guitar or something. It could be used in any
Speaker 4: capacity you want it to be. The really cool thing
Speaker 4: is that there's been a huge growth on the opposite
Speaker 4: end of this, which is like there's like a lot
Speaker 4: of LGBTQ plus skateboard, a lot of queer skateboarders, at
Speaker 4: least two queer owned skateboard companies, and a lot more
Speaker 4: like women and non binary people in skateboarding who are
Speaker 4: making it way better. Like it's they're doing this really
Speaker 4: interesting A bunch of them like rip, like they're really
Speaker 4: really good, and then some of them are doing this
Speaker 4: thing where they're like we don't care if we're good,
Speaker 4: and that's really important because skateboarding, you know, it's been
Speaker 4: fourteen year old boys for most of its most of
Speaker 4: its entirety, right, so there's this there's this kind of
Speaker 4: a little bit toxic rule, you know, thing that happens there.
Speaker 4: So aspects of skateboarding actually had actually shifted way towards
Speaker 4: the left, which.
Speaker 1: Is so necessary.
Speaker 4: And then there's these small sections of people who like
Speaker 4: say that who's the.
Speaker 1: There's this dude. Damn it, I can't remember.
Speaker 4: Well, it's actually good that I can't remember his name.
Speaker 4: This like right wing podcaster guy who is like a
Speaker 4: terrible pop punk band and also claims to be a skateboarder.
Speaker 4: He does skateboard, but luckily he has awful style. I'm
Speaker 4: forgetting his name, but.
Speaker 8: He was fully was.
Speaker 4: He's the guy who was being funded by Russia. Like
Speaker 4: there was an ext tho day where all he's one
Speaker 4: of the main dudes, and you're like, yeah, of course
Speaker 4: he was.
Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, it really is just fucking Russian money
Speaker 1: and billionaire libertarians all the way down. That's the all
Speaker 1: that's all you need to do is be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'm right wing and there's suddenly a money
Speaker 1: truck arrives at your house.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Actually, this idea that like cool, I'm hit, brother, it's
Speaker 4: such lack of I'm not a cop dude, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah exactly, And it's like working in some places,
Speaker 1: a lot of these fucking influencers are just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's actually, what's cool is thinking this Republican president is
Speaker 1: cool and edgy. Yeah shit, all right, let's uh, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We'll come back, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: ultra processed foods.
Speaker 7: We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: And let's let's talk about the two worst guys, two
Speaker 1: of the worst guys that Trump nominated for to control
Speaker 1: major parts of the world. First, Pete Hagsath his confirmation
Speaker 1: hearing to be what is it, secretary of Defense. That's
Speaker 1: a big one, right, that's a pretty's up there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he was nominated to be Secretary of Defense. A
Speaker 1: bunch of stories immediately flooded out from people who had
Speaker 1: worked with him, both sides of the you know, former
Speaker 1: military people, existing, current military people, not like left wing
Speaker 1: journalists doing like hit pieces, just anybody who's encountered him
Speaker 1: being like his mom, Yeah, his mom for instance, talking
Speaker 1: about you know, instances of sexual assault, racism, open alcoholism
Speaker 1: on par with like a cartoon alcoholic, like like having
Speaker 1: to be carried out of places constantly. Like the only
Speaker 1: thing that's lacking is like he never, as far as
Speaker 1: I've been able to find, and I've looked into it,
Speaker 1: he never hiccupped a bubble that then carried him away
Speaker 1: into the sky. But everything else that like a cartoon
Speaker 1: drunkard does.
Speaker 2: The thing he drinks out of just has xes on
Speaker 2: a big jug, a big jug of xes.
Speaker 1: Fortunately he did promise to stop drinking if he gets
Speaker 1: the job. I love that that That's always worked anytime
Speaker 1: somebody's had a substance for sure.
Speaker 2: You know, this thing has a that has a complete
Speaker 2: hold over me and my life that I also love
Speaker 2: to do. Apparently we'll just stop doing it if I
Speaker 2: get this really important job. Cold turkey.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, his so at first it seemed like he
Speaker 1: might go the way of Matt Gates, who are about
Speaker 1: to get to who you know, had to be withdrawn
Speaker 1: as a nominee for Attorney General. And but then they
Speaker 1: were like, not too, that would make President Trump look bad,
Speaker 1: So we can't. We can't let two of them go down.
Speaker 3: So suddenly they're going to make him go through with
Speaker 3: it and take all the heat.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, and he is going to get like That's
Speaker 1: something that I feel like has been missing from a
Speaker 1: lot of the coverage of this. At least I'll just
Speaker 1: give the full context. I think I think there's been
Speaker 1: like there hasn't been somebody who got to this stage
Speaker 1: where you're doing like Senate confirmation hearings and was not
Speaker 1: confirmed since I think George W. Bush's administration, and that's
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of cabinet members who are who
Speaker 1: go through this process and they're batting a thousand since
Speaker 1: George W. Bush's administration. Like, once you get to this point,
Speaker 1: it's really hard to stop the peak train, which is
Speaker 1: I don't know, like the way it's being reported is
Speaker 1: like this guy's like a an underdog, and it's like, no,
Speaker 1: it would be shocking. I mean, it would obviously be
Speaker 1: deserved if he got not able to do this job,
Speaker 1: because it seems like everybody who like took a objective
Speaker 1: look at him, like including Republicans, were like, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, god, god,
Speaker 1: what is that? Senator?
Speaker 2: He should be on trial, like not a confirmation hearing,
Speaker 2: he should be sentenced.
Speaker 1: I guess the one thing that you know you can
Speaker 1: take some sawce in is the like, yes, it's very
Speaker 1: uncommon for people to not be confirmed by the Senate.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: Granted he is an uncommonly bad nominee, like just truly everybody,
Speaker 1: you know, the people who are currently backing him like
Speaker 1: he is the best pick possible. When they were told
Speaker 1: about it were like who the fuck is that? WHOA
Speaker 1: what the guy from Fox News who says stuff that
Speaker 1: is like controversial for Fox News is going to lead
Speaker 1: the fucking US military. But yeah, so he's an unprecedentedly
Speaker 1: bad pick. The Republicans are unprecedentedly on board with the
Speaker 1: Trump cult. So I'm personally not on the edge of
Speaker 1: my seat over here. But I don't know what how
Speaker 1: are you guys feeling?
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like it's good to remember that
Speaker 3: Trump had a ninety two percent turnover rate for his
Speaker 3: first term, so he saith isn't going to last even
Speaker 3: if he gets confirmed. Crazy, you know, Like I just
Speaker 3: I just I think he's going to be one of
Speaker 3: the first to go. I think you're right, it probably
Speaker 3: will get confirmed, because I feel like they are they
Speaker 3: are kind of in that panic mode of like, oh,
Speaker 3: we can't lose another we can't let another ship go
Speaker 3: down here, right. But I think that it's so Pete's
Speaker 3: energy is so antithetical to like top brass military to
Speaker 3: me that I don't think I think those people are
Speaker 3: going to have a hard time taking him seriously.
Speaker 2: Right, You want to know he wants to be trusted
Speaker 2: with military secrets. Blowoutcohol just a cartoon drunk like yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Has to be carried from place to place. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: I will say it does. Reading history books, a lot
Speaker 1: of the military brass themselves like also, yeah, good stiff,
Speaker 1: a stiff drink in the self medicated.
Speaker 3: I think a lot from some trauma let's say, right.
Speaker 2: Right, yea Grant was had a dry Yeah yeah it was.
Speaker 1: There was like, yeah, like this guy, he doesn't try
Speaker 1: to stop drinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just like us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say, you know, Trump's first administration, he
Speaker 1: didn't think he was gonna win, didn't really want the job,
Speaker 1: it seemed like at first, and so he wasn't like
Speaker 1: making picks that would be a fit for him, like
Speaker 1: as we talked about, like his first administration was a
Speaker 1: group of people around him basically trying to insulate the
Speaker 1: world from how bad a president he was. And now
Speaker 1: he's nominating these people who are seen as bad picks
Speaker 1: because they will do the sorts of shit that Trump
Speaker 1: will ask them to do. So I don't know that
Speaker 1: it will be like that quick a turnover. I like
Speaker 1: it will I hope. So. I hope it's as like
Speaker 1: it's going to be incompetent, But is it going to
Speaker 1: be incompetent just from a like what it does to
Speaker 1: the world, or will it be incompetent in the sense
Speaker 1: that like nobody can agree with one another and everybody
Speaker 1: keeps getting fired and quitting like the first time around,
Speaker 1: which would be by far the preferred outcome. But it
Speaker 1: does just seem like they're at least a little bit
Speaker 1: more like that because his choices are coming from loyalty,
Speaker 1: like that being the only value that he's doing. I
Speaker 1: do wonder if like he's going to be like as
Speaker 1: these people are ending the world, like he's he's gonna
Speaker 1: be happy as a clan because you know, they're doing
Speaker 1: what he told him to do.
Speaker 3: Oh man, that yeah, that reminds me that like heg
Speaker 3: Seth is connected to this like cultist preacher out here
Speaker 3: my way. He's actually in Idaho, Doug Wilson, Oh who, Yeah,
Speaker 3: who's in Moscow, Idaho and is just like a really
Speaker 3: horrible person but like has a lot of his theology
Speaker 3: is pretty fucked up, Like he's very he's like very
Speaker 3: like misogynistic as like a point of like as like
Speaker 3: a theology is like a theological point but also like
Speaker 3: the Bible is pro slavery, so I am pro slavery.
Speaker 3: Like that's how fucked up this dude is. So he
Speaker 3: like says these things out loud, and like this is
Speaker 3: the dude that like heg Seth considers to be like
Speaker 3: a spiritual mentor or whatever. So like I'm not not
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm not scared.
Speaker 4: I'm very scared.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like the influences in a heg Seth's life
Speaker 3: that he's chosen are malicious people who want to harm others. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, like like even setting like the Trump loyalty
Speaker 3: piece aside, Like he has these really sort of horrific
Speaker 3: influences that he's chosen, clearly chosen to have in his life.
Speaker 3: And so you know, I think that like he could
Speaker 3: potentially do a lot of damage. But he also he's
Speaker 3: just not He's he doesn't have any of the like
Speaker 3: law and order energy that I feel like the military
Speaker 3: sort of expects, right, which is seems weird. He just
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like a fit in the culture to me.
Speaker 2: I agree. I think maybe that's the reason. I mean,
Speaker 2: none of this will work out while he will be confirmed,
Speaker 2: but to try to be optimistic while there's still a
Speaker 2: brief window to be optimistic that he won't. I think
Speaker 2: that so it's no one being confirmed or sorry, everybody
Speaker 2: being confirmed since George W.
Speaker 1: Bush.
Speaker 2: I think also my hope is that, yes, he's the
Speaker 2: least qualified, event he's the worst candidate, but also it's
Speaker 2: very in your face how bad he is and how
Speaker 2: off I mean, even his energy, even if we're like
Speaker 2: reaching for that too, where he's on TV constantly, so
Speaker 2: it's not like you have to read an article to
Speaker 2: be like, hey, is this guy a piece of shit?
Speaker 2: Like you can just watch him pretty quickly. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: so I wonder if maybe that because of how readily
Speaker 2: available his whole image is. And I mean still no,
Speaker 2: because he's been nominated, everybody knows that he's been nominated,
Speaker 2: so he'll still probably be confirmed. But I do wonder
Speaker 2: if now because that stuff is so much more obvious
Speaker 2: that I guess, like, what's the difference between him and
Speaker 2: Gates is that people actually the Gates was a pedophile,
Speaker 2: you know, like, is that where we're drawing the line
Speaker 2: at this point? Maybe that was it?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I think it was the like the Gates report,
Speaker 1: which I feel like people have really kind of metabolized
Speaker 1: and moved forward with pretty quickly was like, yeah, he
Speaker 1: was paying for sex with children so for like a
Speaker 1: number of years and doing that and doing drug Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I wonder how much of it is also
Speaker 1: like drugs instead of alcohol, you know, where like alcohol,
Speaker 1: that's what that's what we expect legal like Nixon was
Speaker 1: hammered for most of his presidency. Yeah, but to your point,
Speaker 1: like his kind of weird youth and like right wing
Speaker 1: influencer groper ship, like it feels like a really bad
Speaker 1: version of like First Kid is First Kid the one
Speaker 1: where like a kid is president or is that just
Speaker 1: like the son of I forget which kid, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: where it's just like what if this guy no no rule,
Speaker 1: says a Fox News host, can't be president, you know,
Speaker 1: can't be head of the military. Anyways, I need to
Speaker 1: go back. And if I seem distracted, it's because I'm
Speaker 1: trying to read the plot synopsis of First Kid, and
Speaker 1: it is always a little check. Yeah, that's right, all right,
Speaker 1: just really quickly over the weekend, I think some people
Speaker 1: were still waiting for this this outcome to be better
Speaker 1: news because Trump had his sentencing hearing for you know,
Speaker 1: he's a convicted felon. Now because he broke election laws
Speaker 1: in order to and and regular laws in order to
Speaker 1: be elected president first time around, a like Watergate level
Speaker 1: scandal that people just now taken stride. So the judge,
Speaker 1: Judge Juan Merchant's sentence came down and it was a
Speaker 1: quote unconditional discharge, which legal experts have pointed out is
Speaker 1: quote virtually nothing in terms of punishment end quote, which
Speaker 1: were the terms that I was interested in. The punishment
Speaker 1: terms was kind of what I was looking for in
Speaker 1: those terms. Could we get one? It turns out no,
Speaker 1: you cannot have a punishment because he is about to
Speaker 1: be president and the idea like he might be president
Speaker 1: from fucking jail, dude, Yeah, was never going to happen
Speaker 1: because of the way power and money work in this country.
Speaker 2: One of those phones like him, you know, doing press
Speaker 2: conferences through the little phone in the glass is just
Speaker 2: not yeah, feasible.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, because he's too cheap and those things
Speaker 1: cost a shitload of money thanks to private equity. That's
Speaker 1: actually true. The private equity industry took over those phone
Speaker 1: systems and like charge you like five dollars a minute
Speaker 1: to talk to your loved ones.
Speaker 2: From prison, or you could fight a fire. It's up
Speaker 2: to you. You want to talk through a phone or
Speaker 2: you can fight one of moose standerous fires.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Meanwhile, Jack Smith handed in his report and then
Speaker 1: promptly resigned from the Department of Justice. So you know
Speaker 1: is that true?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, God, this is so bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. That's why it reminded me of Well,
Speaker 1: Trump was like, I'll fire him within fifteen seconds of
Speaker 1: taking office, so he knew he was gonna get fired.
Speaker 1: It's still like, I don't know, take the firing man.
Speaker 1: Like nobody was surprised by this, considering the Trump said
Speaker 1: he would fire him within seconds of taking office. But
Speaker 1: remember like the first administration when the first big national
Speaker 1: scandal was that he was willing to fire Komy because
Speaker 1: Kme was investigating him. Like it was like at first
Speaker 1: it was like he fired Komy and Komy's investigating him,
Speaker 1: that sure looks suspicious. And then he like went on
Speaker 1: an interview with Lester Holt and was like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: fired him because he was investigating me. I didn't like
Speaker 1: that too much, right, and everybody I still remember that
Speaker 1: being like the most like everybody was so outright age
Speaker 1: and like holy shit, like this is we finally got
Speaker 1: him right, like this is he just admitted to doing
Speaker 1: the most illegal thing, and then it was just like
Speaker 1: further like just made pointless by like a thousand more
Speaker 1: awful things he did right after that.
Speaker 2: He's tall and annoying. What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: He's tall and he keeps fucking looking into my things?
Speaker 2: But would you want someone like that working for you?
Speaker 1: But now people like preemptively fire themselves because there's no
Speaker 1: chance of there being any sort of outrage on behalf
Speaker 1: of like him firing, so it would just be like
Speaker 1: a win for him.
Speaker 3: I would still want I would still want to be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: Trump fired.
Speaker 1: Me, Like yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I feel like a.
Speaker 3: Person with integrity would have a great reason to be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I fucking got fired by Trump. Give me a book deal,
Speaker 3: Like I feel like you could get something out of it,
Speaker 3: you know. And he was just like, oh, okay, I'm.
Speaker 1: Scared by Hey, look over there.
Speaker 3: You can't fire me.
Speaker 7: I quit.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. It's just a petty thing. As for the report,
Speaker 1: which is supposedly pretty damning, for anybody who doesn't isn't
Speaker 1: already accustomed to just like imagining the worst possible thing,
Speaker 1: and then that thing being true and then nobody giving
Speaker 1: a shit. Merrick Garland has been trying to release part
Speaker 1: of it publicly, but it's being held up by Trump's
Speaker 1: co defendants, who are saying, like, you know, they still
Speaker 1: might go to trial and they can't like release this
Speaker 1: report because it would be prejudicial against a jury that
Speaker 1: might eventually decide their fate. So interesting, So people are
Speaker 1: just saying Garland should drop the cases altogether since Trump's
Speaker 1: about to take office and that will free him to
Speaker 1: release the report anyways, or you know, who knows what
Speaker 1: Trump will do with it. But bad weekend for anything
Speaker 1: approaching justice in general, especially with regards to this administration.
Speaker 1: But there is that cool Mark Zuckerberg Joe Rogan interview,
Speaker 1: so well you can can all look at that.
Speaker 2: And you can, and if you listen to it multiple times,
Speaker 2: you hear new things each time. I found when you
Speaker 2: listen to it, so uh, yeah, it's not a one
Speaker 2: and done.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's colum.
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of time. I got to
Speaker 3: listen to it on like two point five speeds, so
Speaker 3: I miss a lot actually so that I understand back
Speaker 3: and yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Torri, we just met each other. You seem like
Speaker 2: someone who would love to listen to it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take notes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's gonna be great.
Speaker 2: It's easier for notes.
Speaker 1: Yeah mm hmmmm. He was talking about like the feminization
Speaker 1: of the workforce or something. I don't know he really was. Yeah, Zuckerberg,
Speaker 1: that's like what his whole thing. He's just like fully
Speaker 1: like been replaced by a maga chug like it's wild.
Speaker 7: I wonder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw people speculating as to whether he's getting divorced.
Speaker 1: I am curious how that's all going over in his household.
Speaker 1: Brutal anyways, brutal for him. I worry about their relationship.
Speaker 2: I know, brutal for the sanctity of marriage. That's what
Speaker 2: I was talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that, that theory is like, Oh, his wife,
Speaker 1: a billionaire, is going to be so mad at him.
Speaker 2: Probably hasn't seen him in two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've stopped counting on billionaires to have normal human emotions.
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's take a quick break because I want
Speaker 1: to tell you guys about Lake Superior State University's words
Speaker 1: Banished words list, and also tell you that Lake Superior
Speaker 1: State University is a real university, which I didn't know.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, if you say so, Jack, we'll.
Speaker 1: Take a quick break. We'll actually look into that. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back and an R I
Speaker 1: P to David Lynch, who passed away yes day. He
Speaker 1: had emphysema, was completely isolated in recent years so that
Speaker 1: he wouldn't get more sick, but there was still hopes
Speaker 1: that he might direct a project remotely that you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what he was working on at the end,
Speaker 1: but very very sad news.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was a big smoker, big smoker who I did
Speaker 1: like respect, you know, his statement about how much he
Speaker 1: loved smoking when he was like I'm dying now because
Speaker 1: of smoking. But and then just like wrote a like
Speaker 1: paragraph lung love letter to like smoke.
Speaker 8: Yeah he was part of the art, like.
Speaker 1: Smoke into his lungs and feeling it burned there and
Speaker 1: yeah I miss it. Yeah, it got that.
Speaker 8: It was part of the art life. And I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 8: I like the idea of an art life, you know,
Speaker 8: and also taking you know, like yeah, like we're all
Speaker 8: gonna die, Like you can do something that's bad for
Speaker 8: you if.
Speaker 1: You enjoy it, right, Yeah, and he certainly did and.
Speaker 6: Just the eating baby ham babies.
Speaker 10: Ham babies, I gain those are baby today. What's a
Speaker 10: ham baby? The baby is like a baby that's in
Speaker 10: the in the cake in the in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: No, it's a ham. So you know how like when
Speaker 1: you go to the grocery store if you want to
Speaker 1: get like ham cold cuts you, Yeah, they take a
Speaker 1: big they take a big hunk of ham. They call
Speaker 1: that a hand baby. They call that a large hambaby.
Speaker 1: Not in my not around no one on no we
Speaker 1: we just discovered that on yesterday.
Speaker 8: That's horrific. No one should call anything a hand baby.
Speaker 1: And the Boar's head line of like, you know, the
Speaker 1: conveyor belt of ham babies was getting clogged because too
Speaker 1: many defective ham babies were getting like you want to
Speaker 1: hold off?
Speaker 8: Then you want to know why more people don't listen
Speaker 8: to my podcast because the joke that just crossed my
Speaker 8: mind is the only thing that should be called a
Speaker 8: hamdbaby is when the parents met communicating on ham radio.
Speaker 1: And that's good stuff, right, you see what I'm.
Speaker 8: Saying, And that's why my podcast is only for certain people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the original sexting is sexual congress over ham Radio.
Speaker 4: I was wearing over over our tube top.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, so I don't know. There's just like good,
Speaker 1: good stories about him. Also like people I think, like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, everybody knows who David Lynch is, right,
Speaker 1: he made Blue Velvet And Mulholland Drive we talked about
Speaker 1: recently because it is the moana Io of great films
Speaker 1: in that it started as a TV show and then
Speaker 1: people were like, I don't know, nobody's gonna watch this
Speaker 1: as a TV show, and so they edited it into
Speaker 1: like what is considered one of the best movies of
Speaker 1: the twenty first century. Mulholland Drive is.
Speaker 8: Not the one with.
Speaker 1: Watt and it's the one the dumpster in the back
Speaker 1: of the yeah diner. Yeah, yeah, that's and it has
Speaker 1: the street Mulholland Drive in it. As the title might suggest.
Speaker 8: What's the what's that? You don't have to be that.
Speaker 1: Of Pico and thank you oh Man?
Speaker 8: So so that what's the movie with Robert the guy
Speaker 8: who may have murdered.
Speaker 1: His wife, Robert Blake Lost Highway?
Speaker 8: That one's good too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that one. So people see his movies
Speaker 1: and they're like, this guy must be fucked up, this
Speaker 1: guy must be like a real dark person. And I
Speaker 1: just want to read this one interview from a reporter
Speaker 1: who visited the set of Blue Velvet, which was like
Speaker 1: his his movie that like was really kind of the
Speaker 1: mainstreaming of the David Lynch kind of esthetic and super
Speaker 1: dark and fucked up, and like when it came out,
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like reacted as if someone
Speaker 1: had committed a crime like.
Speaker 8: I saw when I was eighteen. I had no idea
Speaker 8: what the hell it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still hard to know exactly what it is.
Speaker 1: But it's a you know, a work of art, that's
Speaker 1: what that is one thing we can say, and not
Speaker 1: just because he smoked so many cigarettes making it. It's
Speaker 1: just unmistakably a vision of the country and the of
Speaker 1: one person. So somebody shows up. It's a movie with
Speaker 1: like fucking like just some brutal, horrible things happening. Ears
Speaker 1: and dirt. You know, it opens with somebody's like seventy
Speaker 1: ear and the dirt, and anyways, someone comes out. They're like,
Speaker 1: all right, this guy's gonna be real fucked up, and
Speaker 1: found him riding around set on bicycles with streamers fluttering
Speaker 1: from the handlebars, his pockets full of peanut eminems like
Speaker 1: that detailcle I, pockets full of peanut eminems like bordering
Speaker 1: on like what are you doing that those that are
Speaker 1: going to melt and be your hands must be like
Speaker 1: covered in like different colors candy coating all the time
Speaker 1: unless he just has the least sweaty hands of all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 8: Also, he's going to make He's gonna make himself sick.
Speaker 1: Am I right? He the reporter said, David is a
Speaker 1: genuinely happy person, and this is one of the remarkable
Speaker 1: things about him. I've never met anyone as serene as
Speaker 1: he is. He's also a lifelong devotee to transcendental meditation. Right, So,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Caitlin, you're a film person.
Speaker 7: What are you?
Speaker 1: Lynch?
Speaker 6: I have a master.
Speaker 1: You are a film master. I'm sorry, and the rest
Speaker 1: of us are film people. You are a film master.
Speaker 6: I'm kind of a master.
Speaker 1: What are you a fan of Lynch?
Speaker 6: I would say, I'm not a fan. In fact, I
Speaker 6: tweeted something something to this effect a few years ago
Speaker 6: and absolutely got destroyed on the Internet. But I don't
Speaker 6: regret it because I stand by what I said. But
Speaker 6: I mean, I I like twin peaks. I haven't seen
Speaker 6: the more recent season that, like, you know, when they
Speaker 6: kind of revitalized it. But I liked the original series
Speaker 6: and I enjoyed Elephant Man because he directed that too.
Speaker 1: Those is one like kind of mainstream.
Speaker 6: So I like his like more normy stuff, and that
Speaker 6: just speaks to my taste, I guess, because I don't
Speaker 6: know what the fuck Muholland Drive is about. I've seen
Speaker 6: it many times and I just get frustrated because I'm like,
Speaker 6: I'm not smart enough for this. But then I'm also like, well,
Speaker 6: maybe the filmmaker it's not smart to So I'm dunking
Speaker 6: on David Lynch even post more, but either's stuff of
Speaker 6: his I liked. I'm sure I didn't finish his Dune,
Speaker 6: but it seemed wacky and fun, so I might go
Speaker 6: back and watch it.
Speaker 8: I DK yeah, I think also, I would imagine as
Speaker 8: a woman would probably be sick of hearing about David
Speaker 8: Lynch from dudes.
Speaker 4: Well that's what my tweet was about.
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm really I really resent. It was
Speaker 6: something like I resent like all the I don't know
Speaker 6: if I like made a gender specific and said like
Speaker 6: all the men or just like all the people who
Speaker 6: spent years trying to convince me that David Lynch was
Speaker 6: any good. So it was like a really bitchy tweet,
Speaker 6: I'll admit it, but listen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I'll tell you this guy happens the men too, Like,
Speaker 8: you know, like a certain type of man will confront
Speaker 8: you and be like have you seen the latest Lynch?
Speaker 1: You know, and you're like I had.
Speaker 6: I shall not name names, but there was a man
Speaker 6: comedian who I know, who like got furious with me
Speaker 6: to the fact that to the point where he was
Speaker 6: like yelling at me because I was like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 6: not that big of a David Lynch fan, and he
Speaker 6: got so like viscerally angry about that. Yeah, And so
Speaker 6: I'm like, Okay, calm down, everybody. But I'm sure he
Speaker 6: was a very nice person. And I love the image
Speaker 6: of him riding around on a bicycle with streamers from
Speaker 6: the handlebars and eminem's in his pockets. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: And his documentary is about the documentary about him where
Speaker 8: they're showing him like booking, Like there's one where he's
Speaker 8: making phone calls and he gets like some celebrity to
Speaker 8: be in his movie and he's like.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, like he's like a star stuck too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like there's a lot of charming things about him.
Speaker 8: But yeah, I definitely have been cornered at parties and
Speaker 8: like grilled about David Lynch by like dudes who are
Speaker 8: trying to prove they were smart and it's going yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: I told one guy I watched the new I remember
Speaker 8: I was at this party. It was kind of like
Speaker 8: a fancier party than I would usually be invited to
Speaker 8: in Los Angeles, and and there was a guy who's
Speaker 8: a director, like that's what people are saying he was,
Speaker 8: but I don't know what he directed, but he, you know,
Speaker 8: he was certainly wasn't like a director I'd ever heard of.
Speaker 8: But he was like had a bunch of tattoos, you know,
Speaker 8: And he was just like, have you seen the new
Speaker 8: Twin Peaks? And it had just come out and I
Speaker 8: was like, yes, I have, and he was like, you
Speaker 8: saw it. He's like the whole thing. I was like,
Speaker 8: he's like the whole thing because he had seen the
Speaker 8: whole thing, you know. But he was like he thought
Speaker 8: he'd gotten the jump on I guess humanity.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes.
Speaker 8: It, and he just like didn't want to talk to
Speaker 8: me anymore, because I think he knew I was lying.
Speaker 8: I did eventually watch that, but I did had not then,
Speaker 8: and I just did not want to get into what
Speaker 8: was going to happen. If I said no, I hadn't
Speaker 8: seen it, that's amazing. I just couldn't even imagine what
Speaker 8: would happened next.
Speaker 1: All Right, that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist.
Speaker 1: Please like and review the show. If you like, the
Speaker 1: show means the world demiles. He needs your validation.
Speaker 7: Folks.
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
Speaker 1: talk to you Monday. Byett
