Speaker 1: Watch season one of the show. We used to do
Speaker 1: bloyd Watch, where we would take a look at the tabloids.
Speaker 1: Come on, oh that's fucking go, let's go. So we're gonna,
Speaker 1: we're gonna, we're just gonna check in. You know, the
Speaker 1: the ticker keeps, the percentage ticker keeps ticking upwards, still
Speaker 1: like in the threes.
Speaker 3: So I love that we like get focused. Were like,
Speaker 3: it's up to three percent rather than there's a ninety
Speaker 3: seven percent chance it doesn't hit the man.
Speaker 1: But that three percent, Bro, we're here for it.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: They already know.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a sickness.
Speaker 1: I'll hope for a civilizational reset. Aside, this story does
Speaker 1: make me actually feel more safe than I did heading
Speaker 1: into this story, right right, And we'll talk about why.
Speaker 1: But mainly it's Michael Bay's fault. But yeah, well we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that. We'll talk about Fox's coverage of DOGE,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about all that plenty more. But first, yam,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests this is something
Speaker 1: you may know about us. We like to ask you,
Speaker 1: what's something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so I became a father about three months ago. Congratulation,
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. And I have a lot of
Speaker 2: I have a lot of fatherhood related Google search things
Speaker 2: I could give you, but instead I'm going to do
Speaker 2: something that is sort of a knock on effect of
Speaker 2: becoming a father. My most recent Google is phono have
Speaker 2: to be so loud? Question mark Because I have fulfilled
Speaker 2: my elder millennial from Portland, Ore again Destiny and I've
Speaker 2: gotten into vinyl records finally high fire or what I
Speaker 2: got myself a High Fi because I want my kid
Speaker 2: to grow up around as few screens as possible is
Speaker 2: the lie I'm telling everyone. And I was like, to
Speaker 2: do that, I'll just start getting into records. And in
Speaker 2: the last like week, I have like I bought a
Speaker 2: turntable and speakers off eBay and like had to run
Speaker 2: the wires all like all this shit. Myself, I did
Speaker 2: not realize how deep like this hiphi culture goes and
Speaker 2: how like how kind of how technical you have to
Speaker 2: be with everything. So my last one was why why
Speaker 2: do I have to have my volume so loud when
Speaker 2: I'm on phono mode coming from my turntable? And I
Speaker 2: only kind of have an answer, but uh yeah, I
Speaker 2: have dove headlong into record collecting.
Speaker 3: Final did you did you have like a I mean
Speaker 3: feel like every millennial has some records because I kind
Speaker 3: of just was like a thing we'd buy like in
Speaker 3: the years past. But do you have did you have
Speaker 3: like a big collection to grow or you're you're suddenly
Speaker 3: now you're like I need to get everything you.
Speaker 2: Have like a decent collection because my wife had like
Speaker 2: one of those Crosley all in one, like.
Speaker 3: Yeah with this speaker built in Yeah yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: But much like Funkco pop figurines. I think when you're
Speaker 2: a millennial, you just accumulate records. I had over the years,
Speaker 2: always telling myself like, I'll get into it one day.
Speaker 2: So I had like a decent collection of stuff, Beatles
Speaker 2: like Queen, you know, a couple of David Bowie, like
Speaker 2: all the stuff you buy and you hope someone sees
Speaker 2: when you when they come back to your house either
Speaker 2: or otherwise, you know, and you're like, I just have these.
Speaker 2: I'm just the kind of guy who has these, so that.
Speaker 1: The conversation blurred out. The sound is so much warmer.
Speaker 1: What are you talking? The record? Vinyl? Vinyl popsyl?
Speaker 2: Did you see that letter from playing Parenthood on the
Speaker 2: kitchen table? I donate, donate regular. I'm in the President's circle.
Speaker 2: So but I'm do, I've, I've, I've dove in and
Speaker 2: I I love it. I don't, I I have. I
Speaker 2: think one of the things of getting older and becoming
Speaker 2: less cool and throwing off also being a dad, is
Speaker 2: I just don't have time to care about anything except
Speaker 2: what actually like makes me happy or what I feel
Speaker 2: like will make my family happy. And this makes me happy.
Speaker 2: And I don't care how much of a cliche it
Speaker 2: makes me because it makes me the most cliche the most.
Speaker 2: But we were like I brought I brought my son
Speaker 2: out to play on his mat, listening to like father
Speaker 2: John Misty, you know, as he played on his mat,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, should I change his name to Bowie?
Speaker 3: Oh this? Listen to this geez.
Speaker 1: Crass.
Speaker 3: He was actually in Fleet Foxes. He was the drummer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he left. There's kind of a song about it
Speaker 2: two states to the South because he lived in Washington
Speaker 2: with Fleet Foxes. But yeah, I'm fully embracing it. My
Speaker 2: I'm like we were talking about dad shoes earlier. I'm
Speaker 2: dad shoes. Vinyl six gels have like that gel feel
Speaker 2: in the bottom, Like can you feel the gel like that?
Speaker 1: I had that one experience where the point guard on
Speaker 1: my high school basketball team let me wear his Alan
Speaker 1: iverson gel react juice shoes.
Speaker 3: I think you're talking about the question threes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like technology could feel the technology in the shoe,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is the coolest thing. And
Speaker 1: then like you know, I gave him a shoes back
Speaker 1: and never felt that again. And I've always been kind
Speaker 1: of searching for that, but my brand, the loyalty, prevents
Speaker 1: me from searching too deep. That is that what the
Speaker 1: ACEX gels do well.
Speaker 3: DMX technology was I think you're talking about the ones
Speaker 3: that had I forget what number version of the Allen
Speaker 3: iverson shoe, but the ones that had the d m
Speaker 3: X and the soul felt like the squishiest I remember.
Speaker 3: But these are like, they're just comfortable. It's not like
Speaker 3: the kind of thing where s gimmicky. You're just like,
Speaker 3: is comfortable. Yeah, I'm a gimmicky. I'm a gimmicky bitch.
Speaker 2: You put a peanut butter and jelly sandwich your shoes
Speaker 2: in a rag, you slide that.
Speaker 3: It was the moment the shoe went from being the
Speaker 3: question to being the answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that it became the answer to my lifelong question
Speaker 1: of how I feel that squash?
Speaker 2: Yeah? How God, how can I feel like I'm putting
Speaker 2: my foot in a gusher?
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly exactly. I want to feel like I'm walking.
Speaker 1: Would be a great collapse, free bocking gushers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like just one over the energetic step ruins
Speaker 3: the shoe, like.
Speaker 2: Scorting at the side.
Speaker 3: I got blue blue everywhere.
Speaker 1: Time. Yeah, Ian, what's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, I I put a lot of hot Okay.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: This is directly related to my my recent fatherhood. The morning.
Speaker 2: The morning for my entire life has been so under
Speaker 2: I wake up at six am now, whether I like
Speaker 2: it or not, christ And Uh, I just I really
Speaker 2: really have come to enjoy being up at six when
Speaker 2: like the world is kind of new and everything's quiet,
Speaker 2: and like making a French press coffee, you know, putting
Speaker 2: putting some music on, just like doing some reading while
Speaker 2: my son screams at me.
Speaker 3: All right, but it's just.
Speaker 2: I don't want to listen to Art blank and the
Speaker 2: Jazz Messenger. I just really, I've really really come to
Speaker 2: enjoy it.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: And I was someone who likes I slept until one,
Speaker 2: like until embarrassably late in my life, and I just
Speaker 2: I just love it. I love the fact that when
Speaker 2: noon rolls around, I've been up for like six hours,
Speaker 2: right right. I'm very I'm very like I feel like
Speaker 2: I do some of my best work that early. And
Speaker 2: even if you're not working, just the way the morning feels.
Speaker 2: I've really really started to enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was definitely not a morning person, but parenthood
Speaker 3: forces everyone to. That's like, it doesn't matter, motherfucker. You
Speaker 3: are now like a four am waker up or five am,
Speaker 3: six am, to the point where now my sleep cycles
Speaker 3: have like made me a morning person, Like I'm not.
Speaker 3: I can no longer sleep in. I'm up pretty much
Speaker 3: like clockwork at like six o'clock and I go to bed. Also,
Speaker 3: my body's like, hey, man, you know what we're not doing.
Speaker 3: We're not doing one am sleep times no more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, You're like, you're should we stay up for SNL?
Speaker 2: Like those are conversations we have now in our should
Speaker 2: we stay like even thirty I don't know.
Speaker 3: We had to bring up that fiftieth anniversary special level
Speaker 3: watching that ship like a novel.
Speaker 1: Man, you're reading like this war. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, nah, yeah exactly. I text you yesterday
Speaker 3: because I was like, oh, I got into the Paul
Speaker 3: McCartney park, but now I get what you were saying.
Speaker 3: I only saw the other fucked up old Paul performance.
Speaker 2: Voice was sounded pretty have you guys talked about this already?
Speaker 2: Kind of rough?
Speaker 1: Both side, and yeah, voices sounded super rough, and we're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out if it's just uh that the elderly,
Speaker 1: you know, at a certain point, maybe it's just harder
Speaker 1: to control it, or if there was something fucked up technically. Uh.
Speaker 1: Their their theories going around online.
Speaker 2: Okay, interesting because they sounded I saw McCartney and concert,
Speaker 2: I want to say, like within the last five years,
Speaker 2: and he sounded great in concert, but he was also
Speaker 2: probably like tuned the way he likes to do.
Speaker 3: He was also in his seventies.
Speaker 2: Then ye, yeah, it does have to fall off.
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think there's that much of
Speaker 1: a difference between seventies and eighties. Have we seen any
Speaker 1: example of there being a different a big difference between
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties in the past, I don't know, four
Speaker 1: or five years that was singing, I was singing or
Speaker 1: everything else. Now we get wiser, Yeah, right, people get
Speaker 1: better at their own abilities.
Speaker 3: That's why they they get better at realizing These young
Speaker 3: people don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
Speaker 1: I got this drive straight into a fucking garage.
Speaker 3: Sure, your head's bleeding, mysteriously, your head's bleeding.
Speaker 1: Your head's bleeding. Your head's bleeding, Senator McConnell, your head.
Speaker 1: What what is something you think is overrated? Yeah, Minyonette
Speaker 1: sauce while somebody's sitting the all right.
Speaker 2: We went out to uh this place, Lonely Oyster a
Speaker 2: few weeks ago. Well, we had a we had a
Speaker 2: rare date night and it's like a row, It's like
Speaker 2: a rob Art type places, seafood place, and they brought
Speaker 2: out the oysters. And this was the best Minionet sauce
Speaker 2: I've ever had in my life. If anyone's wanted minion
Speaker 2: at sauces that like vinegar garlicky concoction that comes with oysters,
Speaker 2: shallats at places that are U boogie to bring you
Speaker 2: what you actually want, right, it's horse radis and cocktail sauce, exactly.
Speaker 2: And every time I go to a fancy seafood place,
Speaker 2: there's never horse radish in cocktail sauce. There's always fucking Minnonet.
Speaker 2: I always put it on the oysters and pretend I
Speaker 2: like it, waiting for it to click. One day. Is
Speaker 2: never clicked. Bring me the bring me the cocktail sauce.
Speaker 2: All right. I don't need to impress anybody.
Speaker 1: This is the chef's interpretation of a Mignonette sauce. What.
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, there's like six different kinds of uzoo in it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's great, man, I don't I don't want
Speaker 2: I don't want it. I want bring me the gut
Speaker 2: or oysters, all right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like, man, I like my seafood to just
Speaker 1: like be have so much horse radish that it hurts me.
Speaker 2: I do too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just I want to close out my sinuses.
Speaker 2: I want it to be as close to ayahuasca as
Speaker 2: you can get at a place in the health department,
Speaker 2: inspect for that kind.
Speaker 1: Of extras on a bucket.
Speaker 2: I want to meet God, right, God is a horse
Speaker 2: radig Yeah. So I'm just over Minyonette every like everywhere
Speaker 2: I go, and I feel like it's everywhere. I'm just like,
Speaker 2: I'm done with Minyonette. I think it's overrated. I don't
Speaker 2: understand how we all collectively decided that was the right
Speaker 2: way to eat it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Give me horse radish with ketchup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I'm learning that my preferred seafood is like shack near
Speaker 2: beach as opposed to elevated white tablecloth near like expensive
Speaker 2: furniture store.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like, can I eat with my hands like all
Speaker 3: of this or no?
Speaker 2: No, In fact, we have a fork for your fork you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, to take this exoskeleton off a fucking prawn, Like,
Speaker 3: let me rip off the legs and eat this ship.
Speaker 2: We've taught this prawn the concept of death, so you
Speaker 2: have to reason with it before you eat it, and
Speaker 2: so just sort of let it know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What you do is you put it in your
Speaker 1: and as you're swallowing it, you look right into its
Speaker 1: eyes so you can see the light fading.
Speaker 3: And then I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the two prawns have been made it for life.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Can I get like maybe five shrimp?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: We only bring them in bonded pair. I can get
Speaker 3: you six if you'd like. How's that sound?
Speaker 2: It comes with a bag of wind from the White
Speaker 2: Cliffs of Dover.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that I bet that wind is so salty though salty,
Speaker 1: A nice salty wind.
Speaker 2: If you saw that on a menu, you'd be like,
Speaker 2: all right, I gotta try that, I.
Speaker 3: Know, And then and then you're like, wait, how the
Speaker 3: fuck are you a salty?
Speaker 2: You see some dude in the gutter standing behind like
Speaker 2: a Kia just collecting the air.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about some new ooz, and we're back back, and it is,
Speaker 1: of course time for Stroyd watch.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, everybody feasts your eyes to the skies and pray.
Speaker 2: That a rocky mass hits the earth and gives us
Speaker 2: some temporary relief.
Speaker 1: From this bocking hellscape. It's Detroyd Wash Detroid watch. So
Speaker 1: as somebody who the day before COVID shut the world down,
Speaker 1: I think I said on this show might be nice
Speaker 1: for the entire country to have a little snow day.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna continue with this this like, ah,
Speaker 1: this would be great to give us a hard reset.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna keep saying that because it would be bad,
Speaker 1: especially because the track that it's on seems to be
Speaker 1: headed to someplace that's not America. This point.
Speaker 2: Come on, I know, right, we built like giant magnets
Speaker 2: in liberal cities.
Speaker 1: Straight into the Oval Office. Yeah, but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I do think some of us are just it's it's
Speaker 1: nice to worry about something that's just the gods of
Speaker 1: physics deciding whether or not to reset human civilization. So
Speaker 1: for people who haven't been listening, every Day. We mentioned
Speaker 1: a couple weeks back there was an asteroid headed to
Speaker 1: Earth that had like a one percent chance of striking,
Speaker 1: which was I think up up there for the highest
Speaker 1: percent chance of like a city destroying asteroid striking the Earth.
Speaker 1: And since then, it has tripled the chances that it's
Speaker 1: going to hit us. It's now three point something percent
Speaker 1: per chance, whereas Miles pointed out a ninety seven percent
Speaker 1: chance that it doesn't strike us.
Speaker 2: No, no, come on, let's focus on that three Yeah,
Speaker 2: optimist to his point of view.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know. So just I've been reading
Speaker 1: up on this, I don't know why I'm so fascinated
Speaker 1: by it. I will say, the thing that I've come
Speaker 1: away from this whole story feeling is I'm like, why
Speaker 1: do I feel safe reading reading this story?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Why does this make me feel better? And I think
Speaker 1: it's because the version of a large, like destructive asteroid
Speaker 1: that I had in my mind up to this point
Speaker 1: was dinosaurs who had a shitty early detection system as
Speaker 1: far as I'm aware, and then bead ass little eyes
Speaker 1: just looking up like kind of over their shoulders. The
Speaker 1: fuck is that? And then the timeline from Armageddon was
Speaker 1: eightteen days. That's like there's a in that movie, there's
Speaker 1: a meteor shower because Big Comic crashed into the asteroid
Speaker 1: and that's when they're like, maybe we should like look
Speaker 1: up to see what hit all the asteroids, And that's
Speaker 1: when they realized that there's like a planet destroyer. They've
Speaker 1: got eighteen days to figure the shit out. So it's
Speaker 1: making me feel a little bit better that we are
Speaker 1: detecting this thing.
Speaker 3: Wait, eighteen days.
Speaker 1: That's eighteen days is what Army?
Speaker 2: You're just going to ignore the Deep Impact timeline there too,
Speaker 2: doesn't time what is?
Speaker 1: What is it? Because I didn't watch Deep Impact?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know either. I don't
Speaker 2: know either. I was just trying to speak up on
Speaker 2: its behalf.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think even Back had a longer timeline, and
Speaker 1: were I had I watched that instead of Armageddon, I
Speaker 1: would probably have like a two year longer lifespan because
Speaker 1: I just like had had less ambient stress of that,
Speaker 1: Like there's just a good chance that a planet destroying
Speaker 1: asteroid could be two weeks out at any given time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love back with similar to arm again,
Speaker 2: Like they also had somebody like playing with a cookie
Speaker 2: around the belly button of you know, like the daughter
Speaker 2: of right Mick Jaggers.
Speaker 1: This is very similar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just didn't know about the other production.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is Steve Perry's daughter. Weird. My grandparents, my
Speaker 3: grandparents are a Deep Impact Oh that's right, Yeah, rest
Speaker 3: in peace because they were like black extras who always
Speaker 3: played like non speaking roles when they needed old black people.
Speaker 3: So Blair Underwood, who was like one of the black
Speaker 3: people in the in Deep Impact. There's like a scene
Speaker 3: where they're talking their family on Earth my grandparents in
Speaker 3: the background. Who anyway, So a little bit of lore
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 2: No Deep Impact podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is now a Deep Impact podcast. But eighteen
Speaker 3: days actually makes Armageddon way less believable now, Like I don't,
Speaker 3: I don't know why you saying eight they only had
Speaker 3: eight in Like what kind of stupid ass scripted the
Speaker 3: fucking eighteen fucking days?
Speaker 2: Are you real take longer to like fuel up the
Speaker 2: rocket ships and all that stuff? I guess it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty short?
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of time.
Speaker 1: No, No, anyway, the Impact scenarios sound pretty gnarly. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna read them because they're they're fascinating. The asteroid
Speaker 1: would create an enormous explosion.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's one scenario.
Speaker 1: That's it. Uh, and the blast and the blast wave
Speaker 1: would be astonishingly powerful. Multi story buildings around the crater
Speaker 1: would buckle and crumple, Bridges would fold over, and car
Speaker 1: streets and people would be thrown in all directions. There's
Speaker 1: also the potential for a hot jet of asteroid vapor.
Speaker 3: Cool cool, bro, that's just me you trying to go
Speaker 3: for an Academy Award of asteroid vapor.
Speaker 1: The would descend to the surface and incinerate everything. That's
Speaker 1: worst case scenario. Obviously, there's a chance that just like
Speaker 1: splashes out in the middle of the ocean.
Speaker 3: Well, and also we don't know what it's made of,
Speaker 3: So there's one version where it hits like a solid piece.
Speaker 3: There's other ones that could break up.
Speaker 1: It would break up above the planet in which but
Speaker 1: like so they think that's what happened with the Tunguska
Speaker 1: event where yeah, there was that massive explosion in nineteen
Speaker 1: oh eight. That again, like this makes me scared for
Speaker 1: the people of nineteen oh eight when I'm just like,
Speaker 1: you know, they had no idea. There's just like everything
Speaker 1: like blew up over there. We should go check it out,
Speaker 1: and an entire forest was leveled, and they didn't. They
Speaker 1: still really haven't figured it out. This is just like
Speaker 1: a theory that an asteroid got superheated as it was
Speaker 1: entering the atmosphere. It was particularly rocky and you know,
Speaker 1: not like a solid iron core, which is kind of
Speaker 1: worst case scenario I guess for one of these, and
Speaker 1: it got superheated and then just exploded above the ground.
Speaker 1: And so that's why because they never found a crater
Speaker 1: at the Tungusca, you know, ground zero, they never found
Speaker 1: like a thing that hit, and so I think the
Speaker 1: theory is that it just got so hot that it
Speaker 1: exploded out. There's also another theory that I like, but
Speaker 1: people say it's unlikely that it was a small black
Speaker 1: hole that just flew into the planet. It's actually super interesting.
Speaker 1: And then like that, in that theory, it wouldn't have
Speaker 1: like it would have just like kept going through the
Speaker 1: Earth like a straight like a bullet through the Earth
Speaker 1: and just like come out in the ocean somewhere and
Speaker 1: kept on its way.
Speaker 2: Through through outer space. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just came came down through outer space, hit Tungusca,
Speaker 1: you know where in Siberia kept traveling down through the
Speaker 1: Earth and out the other side like an exit wound
Speaker 1: and out into outer space. I heard that on a
Speaker 1: child's podcast, Radio Lab for Kids. Highly recommend. That's a
Speaker 1: a fun little dad hack that I learned way too late.
Speaker 1: Podcasts are great.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for the stage of fatherhood where I
Speaker 2: start getting into the unexplained Oh yeah, yeah, yeahs out there.
Speaker 2: I can feel like coming with the voyage incident or
Speaker 2: whatever it is, Like, what's the one in Russia where
Speaker 2: they like found people naked outside of a tent?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Manuscript which is a different mystery.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that one's voyage, but I could
Speaker 1: be wrong, But yeah, there is that unexplained one where
Speaker 1: everybody the version that people happen like when they found them,
Speaker 1: they discover them, They're like, tongues are all missing, yea
Speaker 1: naked in the middle of the snow. But I've read
Speaker 1: a pretty compelling explanation that it was just it was
Speaker 1: a avalanche and then because of exposure, like the tongue
Speaker 1: is the first thing the animals eat, and then like
Speaker 1: the radiation on their skin is actually just from being
Speaker 1: in the sun for so long. But that's it. That's
Speaker 1: definitely another interesting one that I did not make my
Speaker 1: kids listen to and podcasts tissue the animals go for
Speaker 1: it first. They'll eat your eyes and your tongue.
Speaker 2: Like animals, no small.
Speaker 3: A little squirrel just in there, just you know, I
Speaker 3: do like I got your nose, but it'll be like erodent,
Speaker 3: just eating away at that soft flesh on your face.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I will say. The other thing that's making
Speaker 1: me feel safe is that NASA did go up and
Speaker 1: move a asteroid that is bigger than this one off
Speaker 1: its course, like because they wanted to see like if
Speaker 1: they had the ability to do this, and in case
Speaker 1: of something exactly like this, and they were able to
Speaker 1: do it, if it does, if it you know, the
Speaker 1: percentage ticker keeps ticking up, and it's like, guys, it's coming.
Speaker 1: I feel like we will see Like I can already
Speaker 1: see how Trump and Musk would handle it, you know,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, Like they would treat it like a
Speaker 1: fucking hostage situation for the rest of the globe. Like
Speaker 1: he'd use NASA's ability to deflect it as like a
Speaker 1: bargaining chip, like he had like a gun to every
Speaker 1: other country his head or whatever country it was going
Speaker 1: to land on, and then they'd probably fuck it up.
Speaker 2: Whoever, if your country has a lot of lithium mines
Speaker 2: in that get ready to have an asteroid pointed at you.
Speaker 2: You give up the mining rights. If you can move
Speaker 2: an asteroid out of the Earth's path, you can also
Speaker 2: move an asteroid into the Earth. Tom Cruise, holler at us, you.
Speaker 1: Can actually, damn, that's a great apocalypse movie scenario.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like we can make we can run back
Speaker 2: mission of positive. This doesn't actually have to be the
Speaker 2: last one. Now you have somebody and you film it
Speaker 2: in space.
Speaker 3: Tom, we need you, We need you.
Speaker 1: As Ethan hunt or is the bad guy. It's like
Speaker 1: any bad like bad guy storylines can go in such
Speaker 1: wild directions now that Elon Musk exists, you know, potentially
Speaker 1: Robotic Penis, Like that's the first character to tell you
Speaker 1: how to get out there. Potentially Robotic Penis insisting on
Speaker 1: like repopulating the Earth via his his his seed and
Speaker 1: then also just like taking over the government and like
Speaker 1: trying to take over space. And you would probably find
Speaker 1: a way to make this about him.
Speaker 3: In some way, you know, Ready for robocock the zeros
Speaker 3: to come out. I mean, it's gonna be really something.
Speaker 3: But I guess like the one thing with this asteroid
Speaker 3: thing is as much as like you're saying, Zack, it's
Speaker 3: like like, oh boy, now we're gonna have to fucking
Speaker 3: do with some real shit. It feels like all the
Speaker 3: scientists are like, first of all, like it's going up,
Speaker 3: but you need to understand that this process, we're still
Speaker 3: the scientists are still of the belief that they're like,
Speaker 3: as soon as we get enough data, it's going to
Speaker 3: precipitously drop to zero most likely.
Speaker 1: Yeahah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: There's something nice when like with the with the way
Speaker 2: the America is right now where you know, I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people feel like you're being bullied by
Speaker 2: this administration. It's like there's a there's this feeling of like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm getting bullied in the middle of the street, but
Speaker 2: just over the hill a bus crested and then barreling
Speaker 2: down on both of us. Yeah yeah, like yeah, fuck man,
Speaker 2: if the bus hits the bully too, it's not all bad.
Speaker 2: Like there is like a little bit of that feeling
Speaker 2: where it's like there is a bigger there is a
Speaker 2: bigger fish, you know. Yeah, there's something comforting about that.
Speaker 3: But then when you look at the projections, it feels
Speaker 3: like of cities. It could be Mumbai, Bogota or Legos, Nigeria.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's along that plane or the ocean. So I
Speaker 3: don't know what lessons are going to be learned, but yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a fair.
Speaker 2: Way if they hit the ocean.
Speaker 1: Like, think about all of those are trump like quote
Speaker 1: unquote shithole countries. I feel like he's going to just
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, why would we do anything. We're not
Speaker 1: going to help them, but unless they want to pay
Speaker 1: for it, you know, like for what we we own
Speaker 1: Africa now, otherwise.
Speaker 3: Give it to me, Give it to me now, okay.
Speaker 1: Neil de grasse Tyson even took a break from his
Speaker 1: busy schedule of tweeting about the scientific inaccuracies of like
Speaker 1: Aquaman or whatever to say that this is worth worth taking. Seriously,
Speaker 1: shout out to Jam for that description. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it could be bad. I feel like actual scientists, like
Speaker 1: you said, Miles, not that worried.
Speaker 2: Do any of those scientists have a vest with just
Speaker 2: sort of like uh, heavenly bodies on it? The way
Speaker 2: that Neil does.
Speaker 1: That's right, he does. But he's also good at media.
Speaker 3: At getting his name out there. Yeah, you're like.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm worried. Yeah you if you need somebody to
Speaker 1: talk endlessly on your cable channel about this, I've got
Speaker 1: many that it's not just this once.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's please look, but let's look past my sordid
Speaker 3: past and uh yeah, just focus on the fact that
Speaker 3: I am worried about the worst it.
Speaker 1: So they're saying, they are calling this the most hazardous
Speaker 1: object yet identified since the invention of the Toriino scale,
Speaker 1: which measures the risk of asteroids hitting Earth. But I
Speaker 1: I'm assuming, like, and I haven't seen this specifically said
Speaker 1: in an article, but I'm assuming we're able to spot
Speaker 1: more and more shit with better and better telescopes, right,
Speaker 1: and therefore the number of threats we learn about are
Speaker 1: going to go up while the actual danger to us
Speaker 1: because of technological advances goes down. You know. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: it's like, which is I mean that. I think that's
Speaker 1: a good metaphor for like a lot of modern the
Speaker 1: modern world. You know, you get like fear of crime
Speaker 1: because you now see it on social media every time
Speaker 1: a crime is committed, goes up and up and up,
Speaker 1: while the you're danger and that actual crime goes down
Speaker 1: and down and down. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I think this this is where you can
Speaker 3: tell if like a journalist actually has any kind of
Speaker 3: background and doing like science communication, because I like the
Speaker 3: articles I've read that come from like more science centric
Speaker 3: outlets have all of this information. Like it's they're not like, hey,
Speaker 3: can fuck it, Like the New York Post is like,
Speaker 3: check out this fucking render of it, absolutely smoking Manhattan
Speaker 3: even though it's not even close.
Speaker 2: Be employed to hit the asteroid backing out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly what if Robinson Cano didn't leave? We're like, wait,
Speaker 3: what this is so weird now, But I think and
Speaker 3: then other ones do just kind of like like are
Speaker 3: very explicitly saying it's probably gonna go down, just so
Speaker 3: you know, there's ways to deal with it. And I'm
Speaker 3: sure like it's just for our dumb excitement about it.
Speaker 3: It's there are other places like let's just kind of
Speaker 3: like not fully tell them more. Okay, let's just kind
Speaker 3: of keep it feeling a little bit precarious.
Speaker 2: It's the perfect story because it's basically like, you know,
Speaker 2: that's a three percent chance, God's that was real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, like level, excuse me?
Speaker 2: What yea.
Speaker 1: Godzilla is ninety seven percent chance Godzilla is not real?
Speaker 1: Why is everybody freaking out? Yeah, that's exactly right. I
Speaker 1: was like jam does point out, like, if there's a
Speaker 1: reason to panic, it's probably the reason we're already panicking,
Speaker 1: which is that Trump and Musk are dismantling the federal
Speaker 1: government funding network and that will impact NASA. Who are
Speaker 1: the only people who we know of that can like
Speaker 1: save us from this because they have already It's wild
Speaker 1: Like Elon Musk tweeting about this was like, we have
Speaker 1: no defense against a planet destroying asteroid, which is like
Speaker 1: he talked, Wait what we just we just fucking did it.
Speaker 1: They just did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we did. Now we don't Now we have
Speaker 2: no defense? Right yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh sorry I just lashed. Yeah yeah. Those people all
Speaker 1: worked for the National Parks now and not even because
Speaker 1: I fired them from.
Speaker 3: But this news just came in that there were because
Speaker 3: there were about to be hugely off at NASA. Apparently
Speaker 3: they are not happening as of right now.
Speaker 1: There's a ninety seven percent chance they're not ninety.
Speaker 3: Seven percent chance, so yeah, three percent, okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 3: all right, yeah, I mean some people are like they're
Speaker 3: still trying to figure out if it's temporary or if
Speaker 3: someone actually convinced that like where I guess must because
Speaker 3: he's the president that it's like no, no, no, you like
Speaker 3: you SpaceX gets fucked too if you do this right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because SpaceX is so much like just you know,
Speaker 1: sitting on top of NASA and that's the technology, is
Speaker 1: what TESLA is also sitting on top of like killed daddy.
Speaker 2: He can't give you uppies?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, No, I should have tried that. Yeah, dad,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know which one is which he killed his dad?
Speaker 1: His dad? Dad should have tried that, Yeah, his dad.
Speaker 3: Get with your mom, rip your eyes out, come on.
Speaker 3: That's that's that's the cliffs yep.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I am going to need China to go
Speaker 1: deflect and now, you know, show that they can go
Speaker 1: move an asteroid off its course, because I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody feels like they can count. The US is basically
Speaker 1: the mafia at this point until further notice. Like I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone in the world is like, oh it's okay,
Speaker 1: NASA's got us.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure would be a pity if something happened to your
Speaker 2: largest city in Nigeria.
Speaker 3: Right, that's a capital, right, that's your capital.
Speaker 2: There's your capital there. You got not a lot of
Speaker 2: nice stuff there in Lagos.
Speaker 3: I heard the Fella Kuti museums. There not artifacts.
Speaker 1: Familiar with the location of the Fella Kuti Museum. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 3: They seventy two bands.
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's take a.
Speaker 3: Quick we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And so we saw Donald Trump be
Speaker 1: just greeted with roaring applause at the super Bowl. So
Speaker 1: no questions about his popularity. He's the most popular president
Speaker 1: of all time. Oh wait, that super Bowl was on
Speaker 1: Fox and they add that noise. But anyways, uh he
Speaker 1: there does seem to be just even the way like
Speaker 1: the New York Times, like everybody greets it as like
Speaker 1: as if, well, this president is very popular, and you
Speaker 1: can tell because of all the crazy shit he's doing.
Speaker 1: And it's like, right, wait, I mean just because he's
Speaker 1: claiming he's popular, you're also hearing these little whispers of
Speaker 1: like meanwhile, like Lisa Mrokowski's office is like we've never
Speaker 1: had this many calls before from our constituents being like
Speaker 1: what the fuck is happening right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, like Republicans are saying this, like yeah,
Speaker 3: they're like my constituents, the people that vote for Donald
Speaker 3: Trump are are very concerned. Whether it's because they are
Speaker 3: federal employees, they're family members, are federal employees, or people
Speaker 3: that rely on these government programs that are getting the
Speaker 3: fucking acts. So yeah, like there are in the last week,
Speaker 3: I've seen multiple there's just a ton of headlines about
Speaker 3: Republicans being very nervous is what they say, you know,
Speaker 3: without actually doing anything like we hate that for them.
Speaker 1: No, No, Congressmans calm Republican.
Speaker 3: But they're trying to do the thing where they're like
Speaker 3: trying not to be like this dude is fucking up.
Speaker 3: They're trying to use like just this like very neutral language,
Speaker 3: but to also underscore that they are a bit concerned.
Speaker 3: Like Don Bacon, he's a congress member from a Nebraska
Speaker 3: He's like, vote Bacon before Macon cuts rashly, the administration
Speaker 3: should be studying and staffing to see what the consequences are,
Speaker 3: measure twice before cutting.
Speaker 2: See.
Speaker 3: I like that. It's very dadfolk that's like dad core
Speaker 3: shit measure twice cut once you get it, okay, and
Speaker 3: he said they have had to backtrack multiple times. Lisa Murkowski,
Speaker 3: the Senator from Alaska, said, we all want efficiencies. There's
Speaker 3: a way to do it, and the way these people
Speaker 3: have been treated has been awful in many cases. Awful, Okay,
Speaker 3: a little bit strong, Lisa, all right, double down on that.
Speaker 3: Awful But anyway, so many other members also spoke under
Speaker 3: the condition of cowardice and has said they don't like
Speaker 3: that the Constitution is getting shitted on, but hey, what
Speaker 3: the hell are they going to actually do about it?
Speaker 3: Is kind we have no leverage.
Speaker 1: You're you're Republican, right, you're we have no Jeffrey that
Speaker 1: I named Jeffrey, but also us what do you want
Speaker 1: us to do?
Speaker 3: You just see what Congress he came up with a
Speaker 3: new fucking like stupid nickname for Trump. This is Hell Yeah,
Speaker 3: or maybe it's Musk. I believe no, no, he it's
Speaker 3: it's he goes, he goes. This guy's like Captain Chaos
Speaker 3: and you're like, holy sh swish.
Speaker 1: Swish from way downtown.
Speaker 3: The Democratic Party is died. So anyway, the Bernie I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Say the Bernie video that is getting millions of views
Speaker 1: on TikTok where he just like describes the situation as
Speaker 1: being oligarchs. Felt good. It's the first thing I've seen
Speaker 1: a public figure do that. Just made like, Yeah, more
Speaker 1: of that. Let's just like do that for three hours
Speaker 1: a day, just like talk to people about what is
Speaker 1: actually happening.
Speaker 3: What is oligarchy? Yeah, because clearly do. I think a
Speaker 3: lot of the thing is like your audience. For all
Speaker 3: the politicians out there, the baseline for knowledge is low.
Speaker 3: You're going to have to start with what is money, okay,
Speaker 3: and how that all works, because assuming they know what
Speaker 3: things like subsidies are or grants or social safety net.
Speaker 3: But no, no, no, we have to start from the
Speaker 3: bottom and the web anyway.
Speaker 2: So you can't go camping anymore, you can't go to
Speaker 2: the general you know what I mean. It's like your
Speaker 2: grandmother won't get medicine. It's like that kind of thing, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: not like they've cut medicare.
Speaker 3: We will win, Yeah, thanks Chuck. But also there's like
Speaker 3: maga influencers posting on social media that these cuts are
Speaker 3: like hurting the people that love you. Mister president, Please reconsider.
Speaker 3: So this is all happening, so it feels like people
Speaker 3: aren't totally convinced that having no job or losing benefits
Speaker 3: is winning at all, which brings us to the propaganda
Speaker 3: arm of the regime. Fox News they spent the morning
Speaker 3: doing a full on WandaVision on their viewers to get
Speaker 3: them to believe, like Musk is doing a good job
Speaker 3: and that every cent the government is spending.
Speaker 1: Is on woke circumcisions.
Speaker 3: So they did. They covered this press conference where Trump
Speaker 3: was like, look at this, this saying they want more
Speaker 3: equitable voting access in Africa. I don't know. Education in
Speaker 3: Asia they're doing better than us, I'd say, so what
Speaker 3: are we doing this? Like only reading like very specific
Speaker 3: words out of a description of a program, they just
Speaker 3: paint an entire thing to be like, this is about circumstance,
Speaker 3: like NOES a public health measure that we're talking about
Speaker 3: that does include education around that it's not to be
Speaker 3: like and here's our circumcision budget. So anyway, this is
Speaker 3: Fox pretty much trying to spin all of that and
Speaker 3: inoculating their viewers to get them to sort of decouple
Speaker 3: the idea that like government spending is good that all
Speaker 3: government spending is actually going on woke nonsense. That is
Speaker 3: a waste of your money, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Laura, So in the Bingo card of waste of
Speaker 2: our taxpayer dollars, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know if anyone could have predicted social inclusion, learning, circumcision,
Speaker 3: voter inclusion.
Speaker 1: The list goes on.
Speaker 3: But what a horrifying list that is. And thank God
Speaker 3: for dosh in President Trump.
Speaker 8: Now, yeah, and I would love to hear one person
Speaker 8: in the Democrat Party try to justify any of these
Speaker 8: line items. I mean, you were a person who's been
Speaker 8: struggling the past four years, who's been trying to put
Speaker 8: food on the table, get the basics for your family,
Speaker 8: and you find out ten million dollars of your harder
Speaker 8: and taxpayer money is going overseas for circumcisions. They are
Speaker 8: indefensible items. And that is why Donald Trump is in
Speaker 8: there exposing it. You know, it's funny I saw online.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, it's that's not always having it. The your
Speaker 3: hard earned money is actually going to oligarchs, so they
Speaker 3: no longer paid. That's where the money is actually going.
Speaker 3: But nice try like again, they want to connect all
Speaker 3: of this to be like it just goes to woke
Speaker 3: stuff and that's your money rather than your money is
Speaker 3: getting shipped upward in another mass wealth redistribution scheme that
Speaker 3: we see every fucking time.
Speaker 1: And again, fortunately I am forced to respect any point
Speaker 1: that is made using the didn't have that on my
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Bingo card. Yeah yeah, metaphor that works
Speaker 1: every time on me. I'm like, God damn that they
Speaker 1: all think of Bingo and I feel like that there the.
Speaker 2: Grand American tradition. Every January first we sit down and
Speaker 2: we make our Bengo card for the year.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: Okay, the next number we're picking is I fourteen. Hold on, sorry,
Speaker 3: I have fifty million dollars for circumcisions here. What do
Speaker 3: I do? I put a tile here? Can I mark that?
Speaker 3: But again, these aren't fucking savings like Christy Noman was
Speaker 3: talking about, or shit to put money in your pocket.
Speaker 3: These are critical programs that keep people alive, keeping our
Speaker 3: food from fucking poisoning us, critical services. Again, they just
Speaker 3: want to have their people be as ignorant as possible
Speaker 3: and intentionally ignorant about everything that's happening again, so they
Speaker 3: can get away with this just massive theft. They also
Speaker 3: obviously need to sell Musk like as being this genius
Speaker 3: because right now a third of Republicans believe a third
Speaker 3: of Republicans are in the category of Musk has entirely
Speaker 3: too much influence over this White House, so they know
Speaker 3: they're like, oh shit, we need to get those numbers down.
Speaker 3: This is in the same segment they go on to
Speaker 3: do this thing where they're clearly talking to old people
Speaker 3: by describing Musk's technological genius.
Speaker 2: Person they can code all of it, which I really
Speaker 2: think is what Musk secret sauces.
Speaker 1: He knows something that we don't know. He knows how
Speaker 1: you can develop programs that can build products if you
Speaker 1: need it, or build software that can give us answers.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, my god, he knows.
Speaker 3: That is so fucking syne when you go he knows
Speaker 3: things we don't know, like acting like now we're using
Speaker 3: like a deification sort of logical framework of like faith
Speaker 3: in Musk to be like and the Lord knows how
Speaker 3: to make the programs and we must type it into
Speaker 3: the magical computer box and will come the answers were saying.
Speaker 2: Problem and then he'll change some M to a B
Speaker 2: and it will look much more impressive. Why oh, why
Speaker 2: did the government think to hire someone who knew how
Speaker 2: to do computers before?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 1: They like, I remember when he took over Twitter and
Speaker 1: was like making all those changes and like firing everybody
Speaker 1: and then being like, come in and show me your code,
Speaker 1: and people are like just even the questions that he's
Speaker 1: asking suggests that he like has a very like pedestrian
Speaker 1: understanding of like coding, and like how any of this
Speaker 1: shit right? Like he's hasn't coded anything successful in his life,
Speaker 1: Like that's not what he does. He goes in and
Speaker 1: takes advantage of imbalances like or loopholes and laws where
Speaker 1: it can make him a bunch of money and then
Speaker 1: just repeatedly, you know, abuses those loopholes until he has
Speaker 1: millions and then billions of dollars. That's all he does.
Speaker 3: And based on how other like actual computer program programmers
Speaker 3: talk about how Elon talks about it, they're like, this
Speaker 3: dude sounds like a kid who's hanging out with older
Speaker 3: kids and going back to his like kids that are
Speaker 3: his age and be like, yo, dude, this that like
Speaker 3: just saying a bunch of dumb shit he overheard without
Speaker 3: a real understanding of it, just because he's around people
Speaker 3: that do so. Then on top of that, too, Jesse
Speaker 3: Waters also Fox mine Man put his tiny ass brain
Speaker 3: to work, and this is the best he could come
Speaker 3: up with in terms of trying to manufacture consent for
Speaker 3: like levels of austerity that would make Margaret Thatcher look
Speaker 3: like fucking FDR. Here is Jesse Waters convincing his viewers
Speaker 3: that Doge is also here just listening to this ship.
Speaker 1: What never lies besides George Washington, math, math never never lies.
Speaker 1: Math always tells the truth.
Speaker 3: Doge is math, do is math.
Speaker 1: Yes, So George Washington equals never lies, never lies equals math,
Speaker 1: Math equals Doge due.
Speaker 3: To the transitive property equals George Washington equals slave teeth
Speaker 3: as dentures. Yeah, that's that's That's what that's again all
Speaker 3: that's happening. And then on top of that too, we
Speaker 3: just had that fucking Hannity interview where Musk and Doge
Speaker 3: again with their weird ass elder Abuse wrote like romance
Speaker 3: that they're doing on TV for everyone.
Speaker 1: Trump and Trump and Musk and Musk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, went on Hannity and basically like he was asked
Speaker 3: to think and Trump just said the whole thing is like, well,
Speaker 3: inflation's back, and I got nothing to do with it.
Speaker 3: That's what this whole thing is now, like completely, I
Speaker 3: mean that is the most presidential thing about him, is
