Speaker 1: a second time. Yeah, yep, that's yeah, Chris. Wonderful to
Speaker 1: have you.
Speaker 3: Hey, good to be here. I'm so thrilled to see you. Guys.
Speaker 1: Trying to think of what actor you remind me of? Uh,
Speaker 1: do you ever you know Warren Oots?
Speaker 3: Come on, man, come on, this is this is stop
Speaker 3: acting like my eighth grade ceramics teacher before we went on.
Speaker 3: When we were doing this, you know, they're fishing around
Speaker 3: for a cold open, so they these guys make they
Speaker 3: make fake conversation with the guests and act like they
Speaker 3: like them or something. And then I cut it all
Speaker 3: up into some money making thing, and uh, I called
Speaker 3: the cold open that everybody loves even though it's just
Speaker 3: starting the show. But during that cold open, I told
Speaker 3: them a story my eighth grade ceramics teacher who and you,
Speaker 3: And then Jack said, like, how teachers back then and
Speaker 3: like I'm talking about eighty three eighty four. Yeah, Uh,
Speaker 3: they didn't. There was nobody like telling them what. They
Speaker 3: just said whatever the fuck they wanted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they'd be like, yeah, like you had the
Speaker 1: regional manager from like a paper company in your classroom
Speaker 1: with like a bunch of twelve year olds.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the worst for me was the coaches, because
Speaker 3: the coaches were the same way. So they'd be like
Speaker 3: they'd be like I'd show up and like, you know,
Speaker 3: they throw a few balls to me or whatever and
Speaker 3: I'd miss him or and they'd just be like, you suck.
Speaker 3: You're like eight, they're forty. So this this teacher said,
Speaker 3: you look like Warren Oates, which you know, I was
Speaker 3: in eighth grade and I had never.
Speaker 1: Might actually use that as the cold opens Okay, I
Speaker 1: doesn't recap him, but.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Warren Oates, if you guys don't know him, he
Speaker 3: was the lead character in a Well. He was in
Speaker 3: a lot of Sam Packing Paw movies. He was in
Speaker 3: He was the lead in Bring Me the Head of
Speaker 3: Alfredo Garcia, which is a deranged movie. He was in
Speaker 3: Two Lane Blacktop, basically just frowning and he always looks concerned,
Speaker 3: and he also looks like grizzled. And he's a character actor.
Speaker 3: And when you're in eighth grade and you never had
Speaker 3: a girlfriend before, you're kind of hope and that somebody
Speaker 3: tells you look like I don't know, somebody marking a
Speaker 3: ball with other graders, you know, like it's something an
Speaker 3: eighth grade girl he might find attractive.
Speaker 1: Like Steve McQueen and so.
Speaker 3: Exactly. That would have been something. But no, my teacher said,
Speaker 3: you remind me of Warren Oates, and I said, who's
Speaker 3: that you? Hopefully she was like, you know, but she
Speaker 3: wasn't wrong, but she did say that she I do
Speaker 3: kind of look like him, And I ended up playing
Speaker 3: him in a music video. My friend William Tyler made
Speaker 3: a music video and based on two Light Lame Blacktop
Speaker 3: and I played Warren Oates. But Warren Oates, Yeah, he's
Speaker 3: a character actor, not what an eighth grader wants to
Speaker 3: be you want to be. You guys aren't going to
Speaker 3: remember no one on the show. Someone google Willie Ames
Speaker 3: or or you know, Leif Garrett. That's what you're not
Speaker 3: looking for. You're not looking for Warren Oates. And then
Speaker 3: she says, you don't exactly look like him. It's your
Speaker 3: facial expressions which all frown. He's always playing an alcoholic.
Speaker 1: So she she was cute after he died. Also, I
Speaker 1: just want to note, did he die that young? Was
Speaker 1: like fifty four in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 3: She actually was paying me a compliment because then the
Speaker 3: sort of wax figure kind of place I grew up,
Speaker 3: where eybody was just a bowl cutted lacrosse player. It
Speaker 3: kind of was like a compliment to look like a
Speaker 3: character actor.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, you got some edge to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, but she was. It was just an
Speaker 3: odd thing to say to me, because she had to
Speaker 3: know I wasn't going to know who he was. And
Speaker 3: then when I finally found out, it was because he
Speaker 3: was in Stripes, which is a movie that's also one
Speaker 3: thousand years old. I love everybody's listening right now. It's
Speaker 3: just like, what are they?
Speaker 1: I caught that on Comedy Central with Bill Murray as
Speaker 1: a kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the sergeant in stripes is and that's how
Speaker 3: I found out about him. And I was like, Oh,
Speaker 3: it's the it's the sergeant from right right.
Speaker 2: I guess I'd be like my eighth grade year is
Speaker 2: like a teacher's like, you remind me of Hugo Weaving.
Speaker 1: I'm like the guy who plays Agent Smith.
Speaker 3: Anyway, teachers, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't don't don't comment on what I look like. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's my turn. You look like shit? All right, Chris,
Speaker 1: We're thrilled to have you. We're gonna get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
Speaker 1: gonna tell the listeners a couple of the things that
Speaker 1: we would talk about later on in the episode, if
Speaker 1: we were to ever get to it'll be a long one.
Speaker 3: We're talking about it all.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Fetterman, God, Jesus. Yeah, time to
Speaker 1: go five. We're gonna talk about Mega had like their
Speaker 1: own fire festival sort of thing. It's like a scam
Speaker 1: event that. Yeah, with like great video that highly recommend everybody. Well,
Speaker 1: well we'll talk about it's a just great shot in
Speaker 1: Freuda happening out there in the world. I might even
Speaker 1: mention in passing that there's a new pope and he's American. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: he's from Chicago, but they call him the Latin Yankee
Speaker 1: because most of his work was done in Peru or
Speaker 1: all that. Plenty more. But first, Chris Crofts and we
Speaker 1: do like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history that is revealing.
Speaker 3: Last night, I was in ketamine therapy and so I'm
Speaker 3: in the recliner and I'm on the high dose now
Speaker 3: really like sadly the way I calm myself down when
Speaker 3: when when the drug is first coming on as I
Speaker 3: fucking look at my phone, which is so sad. It's
Speaker 3: like it's like holding my little mommy, you know. I
Speaker 3: look at Instagram and I'm like, I must still be alive.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's fucking horrific for people. For listeners who haven't
Speaker 1: listened to the last episode. Keatdemine therapy is this is
Speaker 1: actual ketemine therapy, like with medical staff delivering it to
Speaker 1: you at a clinic. Yeah, not sitting on a pile
Speaker 1: of old tires, like in a yard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have chronic depression. I've had I've had
Speaker 3: chronic depression, you know, ever since my ceramics teacher set up.
Speaker 3: I looked like fifty year old character actor when I
Speaker 3: was in eighth grade and I I started, well, I
Speaker 3: started taking z all off at some point in the
Speaker 3: nineties and then I was still drinking, so I don't
Speaker 3: know what it was doing, but I was trying to
Speaker 3: have it both ways, you know. I was like, I
Speaker 3: could drink and also I'm like the doctors are always
Speaker 3: like you can't do both, and I was like, watch me,
Speaker 3: I'm a special you know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you haven't met year.
Speaker 3: Old character actor. That's all I'm gonna say for the
Speaker 3: rest of the show. Only joke. So so anyway, like
Speaker 3: as all off sucks and as I've gotten older, like
Speaker 3: it really, I mean, the biggest thing it does is
Speaker 3: it cuts your sex drive down, which is not a
Speaker 3: big deal when you're twenty eight, but when you're fifty six,
Speaker 3: it starts to be pretty annoying. And it might explain
Speaker 3: why I've been writing all these poems, because I'm like,
Speaker 3: are you a poet? Or do you need supplements?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: So I think you know whoever that guy was hung
Speaker 3: around the pond all the time, had low tea helpful?
Speaker 1: Who is it?
Speaker 3: I always get them. Yeah, you can't make any money
Speaker 3: being obsessed with ponds these days, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so uh.
Speaker 3: I started talking to a therapist again about trying to
Speaker 3: get off Zoloft, and I just they all kind of
Speaker 3: have the same You either kind of can take them
Speaker 3: and you don't have serious side effects, even though I've
Speaker 3: never met anybody who didn't have have side effects, but
Speaker 3: they allege that there are some people who don't. I
Speaker 3: don't know. I hope I'm glad for them. But I
Speaker 3: always get side effects, whether it's nerves, like if I
Speaker 3: take well Buttrin and I go completely. They always recommend
Speaker 3: well Buttrin. Like when I say I want to get
Speaker 3: off Soloft, and I think I've used this, you guys,
Speaker 3: I've been talking about on my own podcast, so I
Speaker 3: might overlap. But you know, the time I took well
Speaker 3: buttrick in LA and I was like feeling like every
Speaker 3: time I take well buttra In, the weird energy I
Speaker 3: get from it, which is actually anxiety and kind of mania.
Speaker 3: I start to think I'm like getting better for the
Speaker 3: first like month. But I was in the car, like
Speaker 3: driving on the two, and I was like, I realized
Speaker 3: that I was listening to Pink Floyd the final cut
Speaker 3: really loud, and drinking of Vanila Latte, neither of things
Speaker 3: I do, yes, And I was like, I do not
Speaker 3: listen to the Pink Floyd sound possible, so possible. Pass
Speaker 3: on a sunny day in l A normally, and.
Speaker 1: You may find yourself sipping a van.
Speaker 3: And that's when you finally say enough, well beuture and
Speaker 3: you go back on Zoloft sadly. So anyway, I started
Speaker 3: taking Kenemede. I mean, you know, I went through a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of stuff. The brand of the drug is Bravado,
Speaker 3: which I don't know if I told you guys last time,
Speaker 3: which I think is so funny and I think is
Speaker 3: called Bravado in the in the nasal spray form that
Speaker 3: I'm doing it. I do it Mondays and Wednesdays, and
Speaker 3: I've done about probably about fifteen, no, maybe twelve or
Speaker 3: fifteen of them at this point, and I do think
Speaker 3: it's helping. So I'm gonna make fun of it because
Speaker 3: I think I talked about it last show where it's
Speaker 3: just like kind of like doing kedemine a Jiffy Loube
Speaker 3: or something like. It's like the people who help you,
Speaker 3: you know, like they're just low paid people. Like it's
Speaker 3: a venture capital model for every business, including Ketemine treatments.
Speaker 1: So you know you're not gonna have shuffle through.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you just have these sort of like well
Speaker 3: intentioned but low paid people trying to help you, you know,
Speaker 3: and they also shuffle everybody through. They shuffle people through
Speaker 3: every job there. So at this point I've held hands
Speaker 3: with like just about everybody in the building while I
Speaker 3: thought I was dying, you know, like and they're like,
Speaker 3: you know, I saw, like you see the guy in
Speaker 3: the parking lot blowing leaves, and he's like, you're doing
Speaker 3: better man.
Speaker 1: Today today.
Speaker 3: Remember when you told me about your childhood for while
Speaker 3: you were peaking. So it's kind of like dripping with
Speaker 3: strangers and which is odd, but I have gotten to
Speaker 3: be able to get through it. But Okay, so I'm
Speaker 3: in this office park and you're kind of stoned on ketnemine,
Speaker 3: so like you have the same kind of thoughts, like
Speaker 3: like office park, I started thinking about that term, you know,
Speaker 3: for a while, and I was just like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: Like even that, I was like, I think I'm having
Speaker 3: a bad trip of only kind of parks America, you know,
Speaker 3: like yes, you know what I mean, Like Office Park
Speaker 3: was enough for me to like.
Speaker 1: Top three parks number one, I'm using the park number two,
Speaker 1: water park number three. This is the only three good parts.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so I was like I was already like
Speaker 3: because it's like they give you the nasal spray, you
Speaker 3: take three of them one and then wait five minutes
Speaker 3: and then you have another. And that was the dose
Speaker 3: I did the first couple of times, and I still
Speaker 3: freaked out, but I have managed to calm myself down
Speaker 3: and let myself get through it. And it's not easy,
Speaker 3: and I think that's helping helping me. Is I realized
Speaker 3: how wound up I am. And did I tell you
Speaker 3: I found a Johns Hopkins katamine playlist? Did I tell
Speaker 3: you that time last time?
Speaker 1: No? But that makes sense. I mean john Johns Hopkins
Speaker 1: is like at the forefront of medical research, and I
Speaker 1: think they do a lot of stuff now for now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what I said to the Like, Also,
Speaker 3: I talk politics when I get like high. So it's
Speaker 3: like everybody in there was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh God, this guy like here you go about
Speaker 1: here you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna talk about the fucking darkest ship when
Speaker 3: we go in there. Let's not go in there. I
Speaker 3: pressed the panic button and they're like, I'm not going in.
Speaker 3: No you go, I don't want to hear about Irish history. Yeah,
Speaker 3: from a guy says he's dying because I did that
Speaker 3: one time. I talked about Irish history for a really
Speaker 3: long time. I was the guy and he was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta go check on other patients. Are
Speaker 3: you I don't think you're dying, probably because you're talking
Speaker 3: a lot. So I don't even remember what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: What did you just you just googled office Park.
Speaker 3: No, So I was like, this is what happened. I'm
Speaker 3: looking at my Instagram on kedemy and I'm taking the
Speaker 3: full dose now and I'm managing it and I'm feeling
Speaker 3: pretty good about it. But it does help me to
Speaker 3: look at my phone to just keep me from freaking out.
Speaker 3: And then I listened to music too, and I did
Speaker 3: look up some one of the doctors did say, hey,
Speaker 3: do you listen to anything while you're doing this, and
Speaker 3: I said, no, I think it'll freak me out. But
Speaker 3: I was imagining listening to like Bob Dylan or something,
Speaker 3: and I was like, no, there are Spravado playlists. There
Speaker 3: are Ketemy playlists on Spotify. So that made it feel
Speaker 3: like I wasn't gonna die because I was like, they
Speaker 3: can't be making playlists for something that kills you. I
Speaker 3: don't think, yeah, right, right right, And and Johns Hopkins,
Speaker 3: even though Johns Hopkins is probably completely defunded and run
Speaker 3: by you know, Kelly and Conway. Now, it still made
Speaker 3: me feel better that it was a Johns Hopkins playlist.
Speaker 3: I was like, they can't be making playlists for people
Speaker 3: to get killed by. So but then that made me
Speaker 3: think of a million that made me think of all
Speaker 3: kinds of jokes, like I actually, I accidentally listened to
Speaker 3: the Wells Fargo playlist.
Speaker 1: What is the Is there anything surprising here?
Speaker 3: We go, Oh no, No, it's just a bunch of
Speaker 3: flute music, you know, like wood flutes and stuff. You
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, yeah, you remember Sam Fear,
Speaker 3: the magic flute guy. Nope, based advertises his stuff on
Speaker 3: TV in the eighties, nineties nineties. Sam Fear was a
Speaker 3: guy who was a big celebrity on nineties late night
Speaker 3: TV because they sold his wooden flute music before you
Speaker 3: could get like, you know, mood music on your phone.
Speaker 3: So my friend sends me this on Instagram while I'm
Speaker 3: on keemy, and it's a tweet. This is that vanishingly
Speaker 3: rare occasion when someone says fun fact and then tells
Speaker 3: you something that is just insanely fun. And what he
Speaker 3: sent me was this WhatsApp that someone retweeted and it
Speaker 3: says fun fact for the day. Carl Marx's great great
Speaker 3: grandson has a park poor YouTube channel called exclamation Marks.
Speaker 1: Wow and that's real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I was wild. I wanted to find out
Speaker 3: if it was real. So I wrote Here's exactly what
Speaker 3: I wrote to my friend. I'm on ketamine. I'm already
Speaker 3: like pretty upset about the term office park. To show
Speaker 3: you where I'm at, like really upset, like this is unacceptable,
Speaker 3: like that kind of upset. And then I said, no
Speaker 3: fucking way, please hold. And then I went looked. I said,
Speaker 3: the world is bonkers. I'm in a recliner on ketamine
Speaker 3: right now, in a quote office park. And I just
Speaker 3: watched Carl Marx's great grandson Duparc and someone commented, the
Speaker 3: floor is capitalism. Oh wow, this cannot be real, And
Speaker 3: then I wrote, and yet dot dot dot. So that's it.
Speaker 3: That's my that's my social media. I mean, that's that
Speaker 3: was absolutely the fact that I watched Carl Marx's great
Speaker 3: grandson du Parkour means that were absolutely fun.
Speaker 1: I don't think the simulation could come up with that too.
Speaker 1: That's too weird, that's too much.
Speaker 3: That's up.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll hear
Speaker 1: some overrated underrad.
Speaker 3: And we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back.
Speaker 2: I gotta say. I just looked on the Johns Hopkins.
Speaker 2: They got like playlists for like every psychedelic drug.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty nice. Is it all flute music? Is
Speaker 1: there any like? Are there any bops on there?
Speaker 2: It looks like a lot of it's like classical like
Speaker 2: just stuff that's sort of I don't think. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: I hopefully i'll find any Andre three thousands flute album.
Speaker 1: No, there is Alice DJ. Better off alone though you
Speaker 1: think you bad? I don't know if that's good. I
Speaker 1: rave music from the.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta be careful gotta be careful. You're you
Speaker 3: gotta be care of it.
Speaker 1: They're gonna send a takedown notice. Yep, sorry, sorry, Chris.
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear something that you think is underrated.
Speaker 3: Underrated is let me look at my notes. Actually I
Speaker 3: prepare it here. Uh you said underrated, right.
Speaker 1: You know what you've been on. You decide if you
Speaker 1: want to go under I messed it up. I messed
Speaker 1: you underrated, underrated looking at social media on ketamine.
Speaker 3: That was what my thing. So we could killed to
Speaker 3: cover that. That was what I wrote down. That was
Speaker 3: what I wrote.
Speaker 1: History answer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll do it backward, kill me web search. I
Speaker 3: forgot my web search. I did have one for the
Speaker 3: web search. And this is just something if people want
Speaker 3: to it's very boring. But I did see that there's
Speaker 3: some guy who puts trained wheels on his car, like
Speaker 3: he has a hydraulic system where he can retract it.
Speaker 1: And d the rails.
Speaker 3: Yeah, have you seen that ship? Yeah, I've just seen
Speaker 3: it backward.
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I've seen a car that
Speaker 2: has everything, but I've seen it. I've seen a car
Speaker 2: that had like the prop like the ship on a
Speaker 2: car so he could ride on rails.
Speaker 3: That's it. So this guy like, it's just this video.
Speaker 3: There's like two million views on it of you know,
Speaker 3: some kind of hobby that you do at the end
Speaker 3: of the world where you put train wheels on your
Speaker 3: car and then you drive along abandoned train tracks without
Speaker 3: checking ahead of time to see if they they're abandoned. Yeah,
Speaker 3: or just like a tree. I mean they're just speeding
Speaker 3: through the forest getting slapped in the face by branches
Speaker 3: and they're just like you who, And there's like their daughter.
Speaker 3: There's like a five year old girl in the car,
Speaker 3: which I'm sure was actually bad ass. I mean, she
Speaker 3: probably had a great time, and everybody in the comments
Speaker 3: is like, she's never gonna forget this, you know, goes down.
Speaker 1: The Yeah, go head on with a fucking freight car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, also until he find out it goes directly into
Speaker 3: an abandoned mine right there by combining my two favorite things.
Speaker 1: Or they run over a damsel as somebody with a
Speaker 1: mustache looks on and snickers to himself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, so that's just like if you want
Speaker 3: to look, there's some people who go on train tracks
Speaker 3: with I would definitely do it. This one that I
Speaker 3: saw it seemed dangerous. Was one like a train track
Speaker 3: through the woods, I mean going through on a train
Speaker 3: track through the desert like that seems I've seen people
Speaker 3: do that. That's kind of fun. But this guy just
Speaker 3: ripping through the forest on.
Speaker 2: A I like, you've seen enough train you're like, Okay,
Speaker 2: obviously we've seen the one where the dudes on the
Speaker 2: in the in the desert, dude on the outfit is
Speaker 2: on the riff.
Speaker 1: This guy was in the fucking forest.
Speaker 3: Well, there's like a lot of abandoned train tracks out
Speaker 3: by the abandoned mine. So every now and then those
Speaker 3: guys probably get bored and like there's they put on
Speaker 3: they build these little things that go on the rails.
Speaker 3: I've seen that, yeah, yeah, but this one is like
Speaker 3: this is dranged, Like you don't go through the woods
Speaker 3: on them, on them?
Speaker 1: Wait, why do you think the woods is more?
Speaker 3: Does you want to get hit in the head?
Speaker 1: Oh, you're saying with like there's the low hanging I
Speaker 1: mean you can't takes you out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't clear the you can't clear the tracks
Speaker 3: or see what's coming in the woods. So it's seems
Speaker 3: like kind of insane to bring your daughter along for
Speaker 3: like a you a mystery ride straight into a gorge.
Speaker 1: I'd say no activity has been ruined for me harder
Speaker 1: by movies than standing on or near train tracks like
Speaker 1: I because like during the eighties, no movie included train
Speaker 1: tracks that didn't then have somebody turned back and see
Speaker 1: like white smoke coming and getting you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like it was just it seems to me to be
Speaker 1: an inevitability if you are near, like the idea of
Speaker 1: driving on abandoned train tracks is like, well, that's a
Speaker 1: fools game. Obviously it's not really abandoned, and there's going
Speaker 1: to be a train coming like Ghostbusters to stand by
Speaker 1: me like all those all those movie that was a
Speaker 1: ghost train and went through them. But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It still pays off the like if you are by
Speaker 1: tracks like it's trains coming coming, it's come like it's
Speaker 1: never not happened in a movie. And therefore, in my brain,
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's a ninety five percent probability when I'm
Speaker 1: near train tracks that I'm about to get.
Speaker 2: Do you ever, do you ever go near like a
Speaker 2: like a train crossing that's clearly not active anymore, but
Speaker 2: in your mind you're still like, nah, bro, that the
Speaker 2: tracks aren't there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, this fucker's about to blow through here.
Speaker 1: Light it all up.
Speaker 3: Man, now this I feel that way. I feel that
Speaker 3: way too. But these these tracks were so overgrown that
Speaker 3: I was like, not so afraid of, like watching this
Speaker 3: guy do this. I was not so afraid of a
Speaker 3: train coming because they were so overgrown. But but I
Speaker 3: was afraid of like, you know, a snake to the
Speaker 3: face or ah, or like a lemur to.
Speaker 1: The face, also an eighties trope, snake to the face
Speaker 1: going through some over overgrown thing. You're gonna catch a snake, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or or you come out and you don't notice
Speaker 2: there's a snake in your hair and they go.
Speaker 1: Uh, you kind of got something there. Wait I mean no, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that was good. That sounded like a real
Speaker 3: movie man.
Speaker 1: No problem, no problem, Hey, really good guys. Way to go. Wow,
Speaker 1: you guys sounded like a shitty movie there, Way to go.
Speaker 1: Really impressive. Good that you guys can sell like a
Speaker 1: ship a patch you on your back, man, Chris Croft
Speaker 1: and what some of you thinks overrated.
Speaker 3: Overrated cowardly politicians.
Speaker 1: Come on, now, I've never.
Speaker 3: And I'm just talking about this I'm talking about on
Speaker 3: a serious note, that we just had ice raids here
Speaker 3: in Nashville, Tennessee, and uh, people are still walking around
Speaker 3: in yoga pants. Uh and and and playing indoor miniature
Speaker 3: golf and stuff. And I just feel like, uh and
Speaker 3: and and and this is sad because I understand that.
Speaker 3: I think our mayor, who I actually know, was well
Speaker 3: intentioned when he ran. But he thought Kamala Harris is
Speaker 3: gonna win, and he thought some now things are just
Speaker 3: going to be okay, and then he was going to
Speaker 3: be able to be a fun mayor that was going
Speaker 3: to work on public transit. And then Kamala Harris didn't win.
Speaker 3: And I would argue that even if Kamala Harris had one,
Speaker 3: anybody who's paying attention knows that something very bad is
Speaker 3: happening in our country. So I just I just he
Speaker 3: was hoping to be a sort of two thousand's Obama
Speaker 3: era kind of mayor that's optimistic, and he did it.
Speaker 3: He did it for the last few months like he
Speaker 3: was like djang and going to every hot dog competition
Speaker 3: or whatever the fuck mayors do.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'll stuff right there, because that's all I
Speaker 1: asked for from my mayor is djang and hot dog competitions, those.
Speaker 3: Judging hot sauce or whatever, judging longest hot dog.
Speaker 5: I think that yeah, like old time mayor ship, but
Speaker 5: it is not old time times.
Speaker 1: It can fucking be a street fighter, basically.
Speaker 3: And he is in big trouble now, big because he
Speaker 3: kind of had to, especially in a red state like Nashville,
Speaker 3: but probably like Tennessee, but I would say probably in
Speaker 3: every state. At this point, you have to make a
Speaker 3: deal with the cops. You have to back the blue,
Speaker 3: or you will the police will make your life miserable,
Speaker 3: Like I mean, they'll just somehow a mayor is gonna
Speaker 3: have to get elected, is gonna have to say something
Speaker 3: about I'm gonna support the police because the police can
Speaker 3: fucking take you out. So I think, you know, he doesn't.
Speaker 3: He tries to like boost the police while also saying
Speaker 3: he wants to help marginalize people, which of course makes
Speaker 3: no sense. And and he's stuck in that place. And
Speaker 3: then now the Nashville Police Department was seemingly involved in
Speaker 3: the ice raids. They're not supposed to be by law,
Speaker 3: but they.
Speaker 1: Across the country collaboration.
Speaker 3: But they showed up and they and and Freddie has
Speaker 3: my friend who's the mayor, is just in. He's he's
Speaker 3: he's done, he's done. Everybody's fucking I mean, they.
Speaker 2: Kidnapped people incensed because yeah, like for everything that you
Speaker 2: kind of ride into office with, it's like where is
Speaker 2: that energy?
Speaker 3: And how was he not prepared for this? This like
Speaker 3: was certain well, first of all, it was like a
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty chance or whatever right that it was
Speaker 3: going to happen. But you know, people got kidnapped. I mean,
Speaker 3: they got This isn't like, this isn't like checking. This
Speaker 3: isn't a regular way to check for people's citizenship. You
Speaker 3: can't stop someone's car and then throw them at a bus,
Speaker 3: you don't. They did stops, they did. They basically just
Speaker 3: put up roadblocks and just like in a in a
Speaker 3: Latin neighborhood and just fucking pulled people out of cars
Speaker 3: that couldn't couldn't in ten minutes tell them that they
Speaker 3: were a citizen. Yeah, even though a lot of times
Speaker 3: they don't even speak English, and those cops, I mean, anyway,
Speaker 3: it's just like and now it's like.
Speaker 2: Well on top of that too, they don't even have
Speaker 2: an argument about public safety like every every story I
Speaker 2: read about people getting caught up in ice rates, it's
Speaker 2: like it's some kid in college who's like doing good
Speaker 2: in school or a person who just goes to their
Speaker 2: job and the whole time, like we got to get
Speaker 2: the worst ones out, but then the problem, but that
Speaker 2: just cover to do this whole terror campaign. But like
Speaker 2: they've even lost this like argument that it's even about
Speaker 2: public safety. Oh definitely, And I just think like that's
Speaker 2: another thing where it's like, even for a mayor who
Speaker 2: probably is afraid, you can at least say that it's
Speaker 2: like these what where are the people? Where the criminals
Speaker 2: that you're trying to get these people are contributing to
Speaker 2: the country?
Speaker 3: What the fuck is this is not? You can't split
Speaker 3: the difference on this. You can't fight a coup and
Speaker 3: say you're a Democrat. That you can't. There's no Republicans
Speaker 3: or Democrats anymore, no one. We're just not. I understand
Speaker 3: there's there's no way for people to to get everybody
Speaker 3: on the same page about that as impossible, But there's
Speaker 3: just people who are doing a coup and kidnapping people
Speaker 3: out of cars, and then there's other people there's.
Speaker 2: No Yeah, then there's the other people who are like, well,
Speaker 2: I don't want to get, you know, elected out of office,
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna stay as quiet as possible.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what your point is.
Speaker 3: And I want our politicians to be I wrote it.
Speaker 3: I wrote a column today, my advice column. I recommend
Speaker 3: everybody read it. It's it was a sort of a
Speaker 3: silly question, but it was meant to be. I think, oh,
Speaker 3: I took it seriously because it was the question was
Speaker 3: who are we supposed to root for? Between the sky
Speaker 3: net Ai and oligarchs, who are we supposed to root for?
Speaker 3: And I wrote, you know, we make I make six
Speaker 3: hundred dollars a week. I can't root for anybody because
Speaker 3: doesn't fucking make any difference. The only thing I'm rooting
Speaker 3: for is we drop individualism and start collectivism, because that's
Speaker 3: the only way forward. And I just, you know, I said,
Speaker 3: Martin Luther King, Doctor Martin Luther King, pray for us.
Speaker 3: Harvey Milk, pray for us. Eugene Debs pray for us.
Speaker 3: I to b Wells, pray for us. You know, we
Speaker 3: need real, real people, and you know we're not going
Speaker 3: to get any of the elected officials we have now
Speaker 3: we're elected before they somehow didn't see this coming. So
Speaker 3: we eat all new people. And those are gonna have
Speaker 3: to be people with people in the street, because if you're
Speaker 3: talking about getting elected again and that's important to you
Speaker 3: right now, then you are not on the right side.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So if you have kids, I understand, like he has kids.
Speaker 3: This is all a pitch for like, I want to
Speaker 3: be mayor, but I can't. I'm not gonna because it's
Speaker 3: just I can't. But but but I'm saying we need people,
Speaker 3: maybe younger people than me, who don't look like nineteen
Speaker 3: fifties character actors or whatever, you know, people who look
Speaker 3: less mad than me, you know, who don't have kids
Speaker 3: go in there, especially my age. We've already lived had
Speaker 3: I've had so much fun. I mean, what do you
Speaker 3: need to do, really, I mean, we're all going so
Speaker 3: let's put our necks on the line for the kids.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you had a pretty good
Speaker 1: pitch right before you said you you want to be
Speaker 1: mayor and you're ready to die.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ready to die? I mean I don't want to die,
Speaker 3: but I mean, like, did Martin the King Junior want
Speaker 3: to die?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Did fucking any of these any of these activists, but
Speaker 3: they were willing to you know who they all died,
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and because they were like brave.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, spoke with conviction and and they they stood
Speaker 2: on their beliefs a lot of the time. And yeah,
Speaker 2: at this crop of politicians we have are people who
Speaker 2: mimic that, but when push comes to shove, they abandon
Speaker 2: all of those you know, sort of perceived morals that
Speaker 2: they espoused on the way to office. And I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: we need more people like just to not fear getting
Speaker 2: voted out of office, because the ship you can do
Speaker 2: in it one term, like the there is things you
Speaker 2: can do, and then yeah, if they get you out,
Speaker 2: they get you out.
Speaker 1: But at least you went in there and you still
Speaker 1: for something.
Speaker 3: And I don't know who it is, but I mean
Speaker 3: somebody somebody who's willing to you know. I mean, say
Speaker 3: you get say someone gets into office and they made
Speaker 3: a deal with the police, Well you go back on
Speaker 3: that deal, now, right, It's as simple as that, and
Speaker 3: you risk it.
Speaker 1: We've been doing it the other way for yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you risk getting shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, your point is taken that it's not
Speaker 1: a safe position to be in to be anti police.
Speaker 1: We will link off to your column in the footnote. Nope,
Speaker 1: we should uh talk about somebody who's really talk about
Speaker 1: like the difference between where they were when they were
Speaker 1: running for office and where they're at now. John Fetterman,
Speaker 1: it's just like it's getting like scary kind of Oh yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a New York magazine article that was published last
Speaker 1: week about just like he like it's really like he's
Speaker 1: getting into car accidents, he's like fighting people. He's just
Speaker 1: kind of unable to do any of the things that
Speaker 1: are part of his job, and people are concerned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his family, especially like the you know, he got into
Speaker 1: a car accident like at a time when like it,
Speaker 1: right before it, they were like messaging his doctors being like, hey,
Speaker 1: like this is really unsafe that he's able to like
Speaker 1: drive at all, and he like refuses to stop looking
Speaker 1: at his phone while he's driving.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, just.
Speaker 2: All of it right, like wild It's all kind of
Speaker 2: branches off from the stroke that he had on the
Speaker 2: campaign trail and then from there like then he remember
Speaker 2: he also said he was hospitalized with, you know, with
Speaker 2: depression he was dealing with and a lot of people
Speaker 2: were like, that's great, you know, like we support you,
Speaker 2: and but a lot of his staffers have noted that
Speaker 2: it feels like he's starting to regress in a really
Speaker 2: measurable way. And also just stroke with like stuff from
Speaker 2: the like auditory complications he has just from the stroke.
Speaker 1: Apparently he's regular.
Speaker 2: I mean I saw a story about this a few
Speaker 2: months agogo, how he's like his attendance has been really low,
Speaker 2: like for votes and of like in this in this
Speaker 2: magazine art in New York magazine article, people say he
Speaker 2: just hides in his office basically like alone while the
Speaker 2: Senate is doing business. One staff equol. But it's pretty
Speaker 2: impossible to overstate how disengaged he is. He doesn't read memos,
Speaker 2: he's taking very few meetings. The job is just a
Speaker 2: platform for him to run for president. That's all he
Speaker 2: cares about, which is like very odd because concerning how
Speaker 2: much he's alienated constituents, supporters, and even his own staff,
Speaker 2: especially around his like hardline stance with supporting Israel and
Speaker 2: like every terrible act they make against Palestinian people, It's
Speaker 2: just like I don't know how you think, like who's
Speaker 2: your base exactly? Because many people are very confused as
Speaker 2: to what he stands for at this point, just out
Speaker 2: like this. There's a lot of stuff like from him
Speaker 2: getting really fighting with his wife in front of staffers,
Speaker 2: crying while facetiming with staff It's just all kind of
Speaker 2: paints a picture of a guy who is definitely it
Speaker 2: just feels like he's in over his head in terms
Speaker 2: of doing the duties of a senator, especially in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five, with all the shit that comes along with
Speaker 2: a quote unquote resisting Trump if any Democrat, I mean
Speaker 2: the few Democrats that do, but that along with his
Speaker 2: physical and mental health, it's just all like every like
Speaker 2: so many of these articles about him are ending with
Speaker 2: people being like, I just really think it's time for
Speaker 2: him to really kind of take a step back for
Speaker 2: like his own sake. Like it just it feels a
Speaker 2: little bit like this is a little too much for
Speaker 2: him right now, which you know they typically don't do
Speaker 2: that for senators and the Democratic Party, Like yeah, no,
Speaker 2: no push to it, but it just sounds like there
Speaker 2: stuff is just so out there and in your.
Speaker 1: Face that it's it's really hard to ignore. At this point.
Speaker 1: Diane Findstin and like all these other people who have
Speaker 1: been obviously like not able to do their job. But
Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats are just that, I guess because
Speaker 1: of the process of replacing one and like the game
Speaker 1: of like having you know, having as many Democrats possible.
Speaker 1: But it's just it's pretty ghoulish.
Speaker 3: Today about him. They just you guys might have seen it,
Speaker 3: just that he I mean, it's just more leaked stuff.
Speaker 3: You know. It's like he freaked out at some meeting
Speaker 3: with the teacher and like started repeating himself and then
Speaker 3: said said, I guess quote, I don't know why, but
Speaker 3: he's mad at me. I didn't do anything, Yeah, like.
Speaker 2: That, everybody is mad at me? Why does everyone hate me?
Speaker 2: What did I ever do? Yelling banging his fists on
Speaker 2: a desk at five union representatives, and then his aid.
Speaker 1: Cried, they like ushered them out. And then are these
Speaker 1: aids And why.
Speaker 3: Can't they get other jobs? That's what I want?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's because that's getting into on a Senate staff,
Speaker 2: Like getting staffed in a Senate office is like kind
Speaker 2: of like you know, that's how you claw your way
Speaker 2: into it.
Speaker 3: He was on for dear life, no matter what happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's what, Like, you know, a
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of the anecdotes and reports are
Speaker 2: coming from a lot of people current and former staffers
Speaker 2: who are just like, it's kind of it's freaking us out.
Speaker 2: One I think his former chief of staff said he
Speaker 2: was worried that he was not taking his medication like
Speaker 2: his doctors.
Speaker 1: Had told him to. And yeah, it's just again, this
Speaker 1: is this is this does not look good. And also
Speaker 1: like do you look at his votes, like like voted
Speaker 1: to confirm Pam BONDI like, there's just a lot of
Speaker 1: ship where you're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, he's whatever's going on.
Speaker 3: He took a silver pager or gold pager from.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yahu.
Speaker 3: I mean he seems like his only policy at this
Speaker 3: point is to violently support Israel.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, truly, that seems like the ones newly consistent
Speaker 1: things Israel is not in Pennsylvania. Yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: but again I think this is like one of those
Speaker 1: things too. You fear the outside spending and like for
Speaker 1: many people, that's apex spending that goes when you begin
Speaker 1: to articulate Propalestinian talking points, especially as an office holder
Speaker 1: in Congress.
Speaker 3: Here's a joke about him, so staffers. One of his
Speaker 3: staffers is leaked that they're concerned about him because he's
Speaker 3: so sad. He's so upset that he's not even saying
Speaker 3: fee five fox FuMB.
Speaker 1: When he enters a room.
Speaker 3: He's not even climbing his beanstalk.
Speaker 2: In your mind, he looks he's dead ringer for your
Speaker 2: asking the new jack in the bean stock.
Speaker 3: Oh my godam I you know imagine he's also like
Speaker 3: physically imposing like I would. I mean, I bet they
Speaker 3: pulled furniture in front of the door. One he was like,
Speaker 3: is in there be like, I don't know why he's
Speaker 3: mad at me? You know, just get outside?
Speaker 1: Fee five fo fum, I smell the blood of Olivia mun.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Oh wait, why is it English? Mone?
Speaker 1: Isn't how they needed something to rhyme with man fun
Speaker 1: I can be good of an english man.
Speaker 3: Now, this podcast is where it needs to be.
Speaker 1: Thank you, we're back, baby got They could have made
Speaker 1: anything up. The first part is jib fish.
Speaker 2: Why not just I mean, if it's like British Eli,
Speaker 2: you're saying an englishman right in English? Mon fee five
Speaker 2: fem I smelled the blood of an English mun.
Speaker 1: Oh damn that that guy sounded right proper miles. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Think you could make money so many good ways back then,
Speaker 3: writing ship like that, sitting by a pond, writing ship
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: It was so fucking low man. It was a golden
Speaker 1: age for people with low t They're only like eight
Speaker 1: hundred people, so it was just like, yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you see, this thing has just throws a banger and
Speaker 1: then like twenty people read it and you're like, I'm
Speaker 1: the most influential person. What do you call it? I
Speaker 1: don't know, haiku, I don't know.
Speaker 3: They're making a decent wage. They like, you have a
Speaker 3: bail of hay. I love it.
Speaker 1: Thank you actually too, Yeah, dude, what the heck we have?
Speaker 2: Thank you for making it too far keep thank you
Speaker 2: for describing how fair a maiden my wife is.
Speaker 3: It was one of what's his names? It was one
Speaker 3: of what's his name's ancestors talking about abundance.
Speaker 1: That's right, Oh, what's it?
Speaker 3: I forget his name?
Speaker 1: Abundance, the abundance thing, Ezra client.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all.
Speaker 1: Right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and it's shot in freud o on
Speaker 1: He's like geist every day every day, we like to
Speaker 1: just take a quick look at how things are going
Speaker 1: for some of the people who jump on jumped on
Speaker 1: the Trump train and expected that it was gonna go
Speaker 1: well for them, despite all evidence that everybody who sides
Speaker 1: with him ends up getting sucked over.
Speaker 2: And yeah, at every level, even the grifters most of
Speaker 2: the time, unless your last name is Trump, because they're
Speaker 2: they're Donald Trump. I think doju is opening up a
Speaker 2: new social club that's like half a million ahead to
Speaker 2: get in, because again, everything's about access. And so the
Speaker 2: first one hundred days was like this thing.
Speaker 1: Everyone on the right was talking about how epic to
Speaker 1: first hundred days this ministration would be, despite every metric
Speaker 1: indicating that it was a total shit show at the
Speaker 1: fuck Factory. And this was a moment for Trump sickophants
Speaker 1: to lie to his face, as we saw in that
Speaker 1: cabinet meeting, about his greatness and also a great opportunity
Speaker 1: for outsiders to grift. And would that cabinet meeting, Chris,
Speaker 1: did you see the cabinet meeting where everybody just sat
Speaker 1: there trying to be like mister President here the finest
Speaker 1: human specimen of president. All right, I just like that
Speaker 1: was what that was like the moment for me for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, where you just like entered a new level
Speaker 1: of surreal fucking you know, dystopia. Shit, that's just like,
Speaker 1: oh we're we are in a movie now like this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's quite difficult to live, uh and
Speaker 3: keep your head on straight, especially with trying to raise kids.
Speaker 3: But I think everybody you know who's doing it is
Speaker 3: it's a damn hero because I do think that if you're,
Speaker 3: if you're and I know people who are taking care
Speaker 3: of their kids and stuff and in the face of
Speaker 3: all this because it will pass. I don't know if
Speaker 3: it'll pass with an ice age you have to wait
Speaker 3: that long. But I mean, this will go away. You know,
Speaker 3: these people will pass away, they will blow away, whatever happens,
Speaker 3: and then you know, and it's worth hanging in there.
Speaker 3: But it is right now. And there was that New
Speaker 3: Yorker piece, which I wasn't crazy about it, but that one,
Speaker 3: did you read? It came out today or yesterday, just
Speaker 3: about like how my brain's finally broken. Okay, it was
Speaker 3: just written. It's it's it's great. I'm just mad. I'm
Speaker 3: jealous of anybody whos in the New Yorker but you know,
Speaker 3: it's probably fine. I'm like, she's a pretty good writer.
Speaker 3: It is not that good. Oh there's no advice king,
Speaker 3: But anyway, so I'm mad at everybody. But but it's
Speaker 3: a good article. It's about just a list of like
Speaker 3: a laundry list of what people deal with on a
Speaker 3: regular basis, of deep fakes, and and just politics and
Speaker 3: just the endless, endless barrage of bad news. And so
Speaker 3: you don't even remember what the bad news was, or
Speaker 3: what day it is, or what time it is or anything.
Speaker 3: You just are lost in your fucking phone and in
Speaker 3: the Internet. And everybody is this is probably peak disorientation
Speaker 3: for any human beings ever on Earth. I honestly I
Speaker 3: think that's true. You know what I mean, There's never
Speaker 3: been I mean, you were dealing with one dying this
Speaker 3: or one guy trying to throw us fucking a caveman,
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, like one guy's trying to hit
Speaker 3: you with a club, and maybe is there's no dinosaurs.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they didn't co exist. I don't know,
Speaker 3: a cheetah whatever. You had two things, but you knew
Speaker 3: they were real. There was like a deep fake.
Speaker 1: You had a tree, not a world where like half
Speaker 1: of what you see as fake. The yeah that says by.
Speaker 3: Who Caveman saw a fucking deep fake. He jumping a
Speaker 3: damn waterfall.
Speaker 1: I like that. You're like this damn Gia Tolentino, she's
Speaker 1: so great, Mars.
Speaker 3: All right, Oh, well, you're probably not as upset as me,
Speaker 3: who doesn't work for the New Yorker, right.
Speaker 2: Right, right, Well, at least you're gonna articulate both of
Speaker 2: those that that that that's already sets you apart from
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the people out there. But anyway,
Speaker 2: so this grift right because everyone is now everyone is susceptible,
Speaker 2: like you're saying, Uh, Two fucking hacks on the right,
Speaker 2: one guy who works for a daily caller, another one
Speaker 2: who calls herself an activist. They decided to team up
Speaker 2: and really cash in on the excitement. The two quote
Speaker 2: planned to host what they described on the event's now
Speaker 2: deleted website as the official Celebration of President Trump's first
Speaker 2: one hundred days at the newly trumpefied Kennedy Center. Tickets
Speaker 2: for this event went from between one hundred dollars and
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars. Keep that in mind, invitations promised
Speaker 2: an unforgettable evening where quote where quote, luxury meets excitement,
Speaker 2: and I don't know what that means. There was also
Speaker 2: a promise of access to individual guests, members of the
Speaker 2: Trump administration, and members of Congress, setting.
Speaker 1: EIGHTHI generator right, Luxury meets excitement. I feel it feels.
Speaker 1: This whole thing feels that I generated.
Speaker 2: When you do that, luxury meets excitement. I don't even
Speaker 2: know what the line of cocaine is.
Speaker 1: What it is, yeah, I guess yeah, Like you wear
Speaker 1: a ball gown while screaming racial slurs at full volume
Speaker 1: and do a little blow and you're like, this is
Speaker 1: the height of love.
Speaker 3: We're a luxury exciting Yeah wow.
Speaker 1: And you can get away with it. Isn't that luxurious?
Speaker 3: Unbelievable?
Speaker 2: So the problems began immediately once Trump announced that a
Speaker 2: rally in Michigan would be the event that marked the
Speaker 2: first hundred days. And once that potential big draw just
Speaker 2: went poof, the Kennedy Center canceled the contract with the organizers,
Speaker 2: and it forced the event to move to the equally
Speaker 2: glamorous Arlington, Virginia.
Speaker 1: Okay and okay, yeah, I mean things still good. Still
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's not like geographically not that far from Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. So it's basically the president's approving the envy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're there, you're there, you're selling access things. Get
Speaker 2: this is where things. This is where the details get
Speaker 2: real fucking spicy. So problems multiplied from there. McMillan, who's
Speaker 2: one of the organizers, acknowledged that she asked attendees with
Speaker 2: comps tickets to bring bottles of alcohol to fill out
Speaker 2: the bar, even though the website promised, quote premium drinks.
Speaker 2: Another organizer himself asked the husband of a photographer who
Speaker 2: had been hired to shoot the event to bring some alcohol.
Speaker 1: As well the men to bring alcohol.
Speaker 2: The man then warned the organizer to call off the
Speaker 2: party before a fire festival style debacle ensued. Quote you're
Speaker 2: charging big money for this thing, and people won't be
Speaker 2: getting what they paid for, the man wrote, According to
Speaker 2: messages later, when the photographer realized she wouldn't be paid
Speaker 2: to shoot the party, she.
Speaker 1: Canceled the Instagram. The Instagram account under one of the
Speaker 1: organizer's names subsequently sent a message to the photographer with
Speaker 1: the line fuck you whore.
Speaker 2: Both organizers deny that he sent the message, but they
Speaker 2: won't say who did.
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't us, and so who did it? Ah,
Speaker 1: we're not at liberty to say we're just as bothered
Speaker 1: by it as you are, but we can't say who
Speaker 1: did twenty from our account.
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five. Denying something means you did it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, truly. It's it is actually just kind of
Speaker 1: noteworthy that they went through the effort of denying it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: And that's when like shit gets so that but then
Speaker 2: their defenses of it or what so, Okay, the event,
Speaker 2: the event finally come and it was I mean, was
Speaker 2: it a success? I guess if you consider the fact
Speaker 2: that it looked like total shit and people called the
Speaker 2: cops on them for not delivering what was promised.
Speaker 1: Yeah. One guests said, quote there was no VIP, there
Speaker 1: was no red carpet like they promised. Like when I
Speaker 1: bought my ticket, we also said we would be quote
Speaker 1: in the company of high profile guests. I have no
Speaker 1: idea who those would have been, because I didn't see
Speaker 1: anybody high profile. When asked if she had a different
Speaker 1: explanation for the ticket packages, right, because tickets were between
Speaker 1: like two hundred and two thousand dollars, Like, what explanation
Speaker 1: for different ticket packages not being what they were advertised?
Speaker 1: The organizer just said no.
Speaker 2: The website also mimicked the official White House website. This
Speaker 2: is this is where the grift really comes in. And
Speaker 2: one of the organizers, again this woman was asked, isn't
Speaker 2: that deceptive to like have this sort of font, color scheme,
Speaker 2: everything mimic the official White House website while you're calling
Speaker 2: it the official hundred Days party.
Speaker 1: She says, this is her defense quote.
Speaker 2: If a color scheme and font needs somebody to believe
Speaker 2: although there are words on the website, they'd say exactly
Speaker 2: who the host is that this must be the White
Speaker 2: House putting this on.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell that person. Wow. So yeah, real, real,
Speaker 1: real awesome grifters. Can you just explain, like what was
Speaker 1: the different? No? No, okay, I mean it looked cool,
Speaker 1: It looked fun. Man, I don't know, like you gotta
Speaker 1: kind of be there. It's one of those things where
Speaker 1: you gotta be there. Oh, I'm sorry, or looked tight.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah.
Speaker 2: This one clip from the dance floor is humiliating. This
Speaker 2: is from so the local GOP like outfit in Arlington, Virginia.
Speaker 2: They started posting shit because they're like, this is a grift.
Speaker 2: Beware of these fucking people, Chris, have you ever been
Speaker 2: to a party that looked this fucking sick? I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna play from the top. There's like literally eight people
Speaker 2: on the dance floor. There's a guy with a puppet
Speaker 2: on the ground. There's dancing.
Speaker 1: He's not This guy's a maga hat he's waving around.
Speaker 1: Looks like a total dipshit this I.
Speaker 2: Don't know this guy on there's a guy on the
Speaker 2: ground I think doing like a triumph type bit mm hmmm,
Speaker 2: because he's like just holding a puppet but laying down
Speaker 2: in front of a woman.
Speaker 3: It's all that's the worst looking party you ever saw
Speaker 3: in my life.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you can't party with he can't party with
Speaker 3: a bunch of I mean, that's the thing is nobody.
Speaker 3: It's hard to say, but you know, it's like they've reinvented.
Speaker 3: They wanted to be the popular kids, you know, so
Speaker 3: they're like the only way they can do it is
Speaker 3: with violence. So that's what they're doing. So they've they've
Speaker 3: gotten to the top of the power structure. So now
Speaker 3: they're the popular brands as far as they're concerned, but.
Speaker 1: Enforced popular kiddom.
Speaker 3: But the kind of trash that they are makes it
Speaker 3: so nobody. They're still not going to have fun because
Speaker 3: they don't understand that charmless people have to get their
Speaker 3: shit together and become like, I don't know what, you know,
Speaker 3: do some work on themselves. You know. I know it's
Speaker 3: a popular thing to say, but someone like Donald Trump Junior,
Speaker 3: if he wants to have friends that are fun, he's
Speaker 3: gonna have to become a whole different person. You know.
Speaker 3: The kind of people who are gonna come to Donald
Speaker 3: Trump's party are guaranteed to make him sad because he's
Speaker 3: expecting it to be. Like he really you know, he
Speaker 3: hates Robert de Niro, but he would love it if
Speaker 3: Robert de Niro would come. Like, these people are never
Speaker 3: gonna get what they want, which is actually approval from celebrities,
Speaker 3: like liberal celebrities, and they're never gonna get it, so
Speaker 3: they're stuck with just like another guy who thought violence
Speaker 3: was a way to get popular.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they all share the thing where every
Speaker 2: person who like rises up on the like conservative side
Speaker 2: of things, I mean and either side, but like really
Speaker 2: it's really pronounced with the right right wingers especially who
Speaker 2: just go, no, it can't be that I'm the problem here, right,
Speaker 2: it's everything else. It's not me, and everything else needs
Speaker 2: to change.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I'm gonna rearrange the world so i have
Speaker 3: a good time, instead of realizing the reason I'm not
Speaker 3: having a good time is because I probably we have
Speaker 3: a ton of trauma. Yeah yeah, yeah, these motherfuckers were
Speaker 3: not loved. I'm not saying that that excuse is anything,
Speaker 3: because it doesn't because there's lots of unloved people who
Speaker 3: who oh fucking I don't care.
Speaker 1: I think we end on that. Chris crofton what a
