Speaker 1: Oh shit, oh you got there. You got the video
Speaker 1: we're about to get We're about to get.

Speaker 1: How I take it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: It seems like they were workshopping that one and landed
Speaker 1: on a good one. By the way, my six year
Speaker 1: old the other day turned to me.
Speaker 2: We were at.
Speaker 1: David Busters because I'm a good dad. John Legend was
Speaker 1: there for some reason. Also, this wasn't a dream. John
Speaker 1: Legend was there, and my six year old turned to
Speaker 1: me and said, Dad, why is sky Rizzy so popular
Speaker 1: with so many people? Want? Yeah? And then I realized, like,
Speaker 1: because I watched sports and there's sky Rizzy commercials and
Speaker 1: I think he just like picked it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that at first, I.
Speaker 1: Was like, who is sky sky Rizzy a rapper?
Speaker 2: I know, I think we were joking about that when
Speaker 2: that ship first came out. We're like, Yo, sky Rizzy
Speaker 2: is a dope fucking.
Speaker 1: Great name that they fucked up by giving to a
Speaker 1: plaque Sariasis medication. But they were just like we just
Speaker 1: landed on this great name and like we got to
Speaker 1: use it. It's not appropriate for this medication necessarily, yea,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that ship is working on my six.
Speaker 2: Year old sky Rizzy had the fire mixtape. That's You,
Speaker 2: that's you should tell your kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were so many people. Yeah, anyways, welcome back.
Speaker 1: Feel to have you back and thrilled to get to
Speaker 1: talk to you about our Supreme Court. It seems to
Speaker 1: have like dipped into a new level. Like it feels
Speaker 1: like some of the just arguments that are taking place
Speaker 1: in this one case that I was reading about seem
Speaker 1: to be like our arguments from a reality television show.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's there's just something so deeply American brained,
Speaker 1: like broken brained. Like I don't know, I've always like
Speaker 1: thought that maybe that was going to happen, is that
Speaker 1: the way people talk and argue on reality TV would
Speaker 1: infect people in reality since like that's what their shows
Speaker 1: claim to be. It feels like it's gotten to the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court based on some of these conversations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, it's idiocracy for sure.
Speaker 1: It really is wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was the case, right, A lot of people
Speaker 2: being like Clarence Thomas, isn't inexplicably, isn't there to hear
Speaker 2: arguments for a case talking about public officials getting gifts
Speaker 2: and kickbacks.
Speaker 1: And Brian, Yes, yeah, so involved call them gifts? Okay, bad?
Speaker 1: So yeah he skipped. He played hooky on Monday, and
Speaker 1: people thought maybe it was because of this case. Came
Speaker 1: back Tuesday and was just like wow, what happened? Nah?
Speaker 1: I was here?
Speaker 2: What all good?
Speaker 1: But the case involves a guy named James Snyder, who
Speaker 1: was mayor of Portage, Indiana, who took thirteen thousand dollars
Speaker 1: from a trucking company just weeks after he oversaw a
Speaker 1: bidding process that awarded them a city garbage truck contract
Speaker 1: worth over one point one million.
Speaker 2: Again hundred times.
Speaker 1: Totally blown away by how cheap it is to buy
Speaker 1: a politician, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirteen Wow, you know for one point one million? Baby,
Speaker 2: try that? Try that in New York City or Miami, or.
Speaker 1: Maybe the payout is better, I don't know, yeah, Or
Speaker 1: maybe we should all get a lot to Indiana and
Speaker 1: start playing tiny cities.
Speaker 2: Did you imagine we're like, yo, Jack, let's just put
Speaker 2: like thirteen k together and just let's just fucking do
Speaker 2: some wild and now where the trash nightmare?
Speaker 1: Now we run sanitation for Portage, Indiana.
Speaker 2: Oh shit, we're in over our heads.
Speaker 1: So prosecutors say it's a bribe, because that's what it is.
Speaker 1: Snyder contends that it was merely a payment for his
Speaker 1: consulting service. He was found guilty in twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: because he's guilty, appealed because he's rich. And now the
Speaker 1: case is before the Supreme Court, who have get the
Speaker 1: chance to decide whether the country's anti corruption law only
Speaker 1: apply to before the fact bribes or also to after
Speaker 1: the fact gratuities. So that's what it was, a thirteen
Speaker 1: thousand dollars gratuity according to them. So obviously it could
Speaker 1: be pretty consequential because a ruling in favor of Snyder
Speaker 1: would essentially legalize the bribing of public officials for lucrative
Speaker 1: government favors.
Speaker 2: But like gifts after the fact, yes, gifts after the fact.
Speaker 1: My bat so Neil Gorsich, agreed with the corrupt Guy's
Speaker 1: line of reasoning, pointing out that doctors and teachers take
Speaker 1: gifts all the time. He then suggested that the current
Speaker 1: law doesn't give fair notice to someone who may be
Speaker 1: breaking the law by I don't know, paying for a
Speaker 1: dinner at the cheesecake factory.
Speaker 2: There it is, boom, you're done.
Speaker 1: I like, so, you know, justice such to my My
Speaker 1: ore and the lawyer for the government were like, no,
Speaker 1: this is very clearly about transactions worth at least five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. What are you what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: He's like, I can't get taken out the dinner the
Speaker 1: cheesecake factory anymore, that's not what we're saying. But yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: this is this is sort of like when you're arguing
Speaker 1: with a very unintelligent person who decides like just contort
Speaker 1: reality in their mind so they never have to agree
Speaker 1: with you and keep pivoting.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Shit.
Speaker 1: So they're like, now it's to just five thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: like very clearly, like that's a very specific you know,
Speaker 1: specifically written into it. And then Snyder's lawyer countered that
Speaker 1: the plastic surgery she gets is worth over five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: What she's supposed to do not tip her plastic surgeon,
Speaker 1: which again like doesn't even like it's just so like
Speaker 1: it it's just taking one of the numbers in the
Speaker 1: previous sentence and saying something so like weird and shocking
Speaker 1: around it, right, that you just are like kind of
Speaker 1: your mind can't keep up with like what is happening
Speaker 1: or like follow their train of logic. The doctor removes
Speaker 1: your work, fine, but the doctor who takes your gallbladder
Speaker 1: out or does your face like my plastic surgeon. No,
Speaker 1: that's worth over five thousand dollars. I'm sorry, it's worth over.
Speaker 2: Five Well, was the lawyer was the lawyer a literal
Speaker 2: straw man in a lawyer outfit? What the fuck?
Speaker 1: The lawyer was actually one of the characters from Brazil
Speaker 1: who has their face like pulled in all different weird directions.
Speaker 1: The But it's just I mean, obviously, asking this Supreme
Speaker 1: Court to weigh in on this particular issue is like
Speaker 1: asking Yogi Bear to curb picnic basket theft, right, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's it's.
Speaker 2: It's just grim. I mean, yeah, Like you could already
Speaker 2: see where this goes. And this Supreme Court has already
Speaker 2: done a really bang up job this session with already
Speaker 2: affirming the state of the rights of the state of
Speaker 2: Iodaho to to ban gender affirming care for young people
Speaker 2: or in this other one, McKesson versus Doe where they're like, nah,
Speaker 2: we're not going to hear that, and in that moment
Speaker 2: where they're essentially fucking saying that you don't really have
Speaker 2: the right to organize a mass protest in states like Louisiana, Mississippi,
Speaker 2: and Texas that like sort of these laws on their
Speaker 2: book tore like, Hey, if you organize a fucking protest
Speaker 2: and shit gets violent, that's on you. Yeah. And then
Speaker 2: they're like, but what if, like you had a fucking
Speaker 2: saboteur come in from the group that's opposing it and
Speaker 2: been like yeah watch this, I'm gonna throw a fucking rock.
Speaker 2: And then now they're getting in trouble. Aha, hacked it.
Speaker 1: The matrix, see you. Yeah, there's a lot of same.
Speaker 1: It's on you. Yeah. That McKesson is Deray McKesson who
Speaker 1: organized a protest and somebody got something thrown at them
Speaker 1: and yeah, yeah they got a rock at his faced, dude, Deray, Yeah,
Speaker 1: for organizing a protest. So they basically make it impossible
Speaker 1: to organize anything, uh yeah in these states.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. So wow, can't wait to see where this
Speaker 2: goes next.
Speaker 1: I mean, just back to the Snyder case, the guy
Speaker 1: like he so the garbage truck case isn't even the
Speaker 1: only example of him being accused of accepting bribes. A
Speaker 1: tow truck company owner actually pled guilty to paying Snyder
Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars in bribes. So that seems to be
Speaker 1: his sweet spot where he liked anything with trucks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: trucks and around twelve truck thirteen thousand dollars in exchange
Speaker 1: for towing contracts, which Snyder claims was merely alone. I
Speaker 1: was gonna give it back. Oh my god, guy's so
Speaker 1: mad at me. The city's superintendent had to go to
Speaker 1: the FBI office to report him, led to a three
Speaker 1: year probe into the mayor, and they also found that
Speaker 1: his thirteen thousand dollars cheesecake factory dinner aka consulting fee
Speaker 1: was paid to a consulting firm that investigators later discovered
Speaker 1: was a fake company. So he had created a shell
Speaker 1: company to.
Speaker 2: Just ordinary everyday people do.
Speaker 1: It was a gift. I was just holding it for them.
Speaker 2: Oh gotak.
Speaker 1: Believe how weird you guys are being.
Speaker 2: You're being so weird, like like you're you're probably gonna
Speaker 2: say next. I can't even say thank you to someone
Speaker 2: like that's how this is where this is going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how is an everyday citizen supposed to know that
Speaker 1: taking more than ten grand in payments rooted through a
Speaker 1: shell company is somehow illegal or not? On the up and.
Speaker 2: Up From the eyes of a lot, everything's upside down, man,
Speaker 2: I get it. Thank you Justice for standing up for
Speaker 2: what is right? What the fuck fucked up? Yeah? Where
Speaker 2: this goes?
Speaker 1: Advertising the cheesecake factory, because now I am hungry and
Speaker 1: I'm going to go there.
Speaker 2: Yep, Chicken littles, let's take.
Speaker 1: A quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: We're move at cheesecake factory.
Speaker 2: Chicken little, Hey, come on, man, they look until they
Speaker 2: bribe us for thirteen grand you or anything else from me.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I get I get Chicken Little.
Speaker 1: There's that one rice dish like that has like rice
Speaker 1: shrimp and I think it's like the firecracker chicken or something.
Speaker 1: It's oh man, chicken ship. Yes, I know that.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it at all. But God almighty, that
Speaker 1: thing is probably the most like you can like feel
Speaker 1: the like how calorically dense it is. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of the appeals like each one, so deep fried.
Speaker 2: One bite, you can hear like your blood coursing through
Speaker 2: your head with every heart beat.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Yeah, all of a sudden, you
Speaker 1: can just hear your blood up in your ears.
Speaker 2: I hear that.
Speaker 1: Should we check in with Coachella? See what?
Speaker 2: Yes? Oh? I saw, I saw. I saw that grind
Speaker 2: You see that? Do you see the Grimes clip?
Speaker 1: I did not see the clip. I just read descriptions
Speaker 1: of it. It's the big thing. Was No Doubt Reunite,
Speaker 1: joined on stage by Olivia Rodrigo, one of the very
Speaker 1: first concerts I ever went to without my parents. Oh
Speaker 1: was No Doubt Bush, No Doubt opening for Bush, Damn
Speaker 1: in the year nineteen and ninety six.
Speaker 2: Okay Damn? How so? Oh your best singing? Okay that
Speaker 2: that track?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Because my first concert solo was the stank Onia Outscore
Speaker 2: solo solo.
Speaker 1: An exhibit opened for That's Much Cooler, That's much Cooler.
Speaker 1: Went on a little date to that one at rupp
Speaker 1: Arena in Kentucky and uh Arena anyways, uh Less. Successfully,
Speaker 1: Grimes had to apologize to fans on Twitter her technical
Speaker 1: issues during her show. Some of her keyboard software was
Speaker 1: messed up, which she blamed on having outsourced the work
Speaker 1: to idiots. I don't know if she called the idiots.
Speaker 2: But no, she said I shouldn't have let other people
Speaker 2: do it. I always do it myself. Like her apology
Speaker 2: was like, basically, these other people messed up, and that's
Speaker 2: on me.
Speaker 1: And that's on me. Uh a perfectionist. It's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like listening to a passive, aggressive person who's just like,
Speaker 1: I'm it's it's because I didn't do it myself, and
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I should know that everybody no fucking stupid.
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, and that makes me dumb.
Speaker 1: But I like caused her to repeatedly scream into her
Speaker 1: microphone during the set.
Speaker 2: It's just like if she was djaned too, and you're like,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, is anybody who's DJed? It's like the bpms
Speaker 2: are coming out all wild and stuff. I don't know
Speaker 2: what's going on. Part of me is like, can you
Speaker 2: can you do that by ear? Like that's sort of
Speaker 2: one of the first skills you learn in mixing is
Speaker 2: knowing like sort of where your tempos are.
Speaker 1: Not me, yeah, not me. I do everything by sight
Speaker 1: and by uh intense spreadsheet work that I don't have
Speaker 1: time to do up here. Also, Will Smith made a
Speaker 1: surprise appearance during Jay Balvin set, showing up in his
Speaker 1: Men in Black suit to sing uh with me, Yeah,
Speaker 1: welcome to Miami. No, he's saying, Madam Black to remind
Speaker 1: people he's the guy that we all loved him.
Speaker 2: Men in Black.
Speaker 1: There's a giant alien head and dancing aliens. But no
Speaker 1: Tommy Lee Jones. Apparently Tommy Lee Jones thinks he's too
Speaker 1: good for coach Ella.
Speaker 2: Hey, look that's another guy with the same birthday as me,
Speaker 2: and look we both weren't there, so conspiracy maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: Same birthday, same year by same year he looked like shit.
Speaker 2: And I was also Al Gore's roommate at Harvard. Do
Speaker 2: you know they were roommates? Yeah, yeah, of course. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Look we look, we're up, dude. I look, me and
Speaker 2: Tommy we look good for seventy seven, although we will
Speaker 2: be seventy eight this September, so you know.
Speaker 1: And then yeah, there's been I forget when we talked
Speaker 1: about this, Oh, it was on tomorrow's episode. But uh,
Speaker 1: there's a real I've had two people, both Clint Eastwood
Speaker 1: and Gene Hackman's sightings in the past week that have
Speaker 1: like really made me realize, like you did once you
Speaker 1: hit ninety, it's all over, You're yeah, it's I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. It was over for Gene Hackman a lot
Speaker 2: sooner than yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like I don't know, man, and I'm talking
Speaker 1: only looks, but they don't look like this now.
Speaker 2: Hey, well, look, with the medical technologies that we have,
Speaker 2: we may see the end of the yearth That's.
Speaker 1: Right, that's enough fun, hey man, that's pretty cool that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? All right, and speaking of
Speaker 1: the end of the earth, USC has canceled a pro
Speaker 1: Palestinian valedictorian speech, but not over politics. It's over safety.
Speaker 1: It was purely logistical. Miles, Oh, is that right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It my goodness that you want to
Speaker 2: talk about something so backwards to say that it was
Speaker 2: over safety concerns when the valedictorian, who you know it's
Speaker 2: identifies as like a South Asian Muslim, was like, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't I never heard about any threats against me.
Speaker 2: I never heard about any threats or disruptions to this,
Speaker 2: But why are we using this angle somehow to then
Speaker 2: be like we just want to silence someone with pro
Speaker 2: Palestinian views who may have a platform to voice those views.
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to see it like any other
Speaker 2: way than that, because we are I mean, this is
Speaker 2: all we've been seeing since October the seventh, are people
Speaker 2: with pro Palestinian views having a lot of trouble getting
Speaker 2: those views out into the world. And another thing we
Speaker 2: even referenced in tomorrow's episode, like even like the German
Speaker 2: police disrupted a pro Palestinian conference because why, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Safety, Yeah, it must be safety. We're actually concerned about
Speaker 1: their safety. Finally, is what we are worried about. We
Speaker 1: don't want the people protesting to get hurt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just more Islamophobia manifest into our you know,
Speaker 2: college campuses. And the valed Victorian, Asna Tabusum said, made
Speaker 2: a savent quote. Although this should have been a time
Speaker 2: of celebration for my family, friends, professors, and classmates, anti
Speaker 2: Muslim and anti Palestinian voices have subjected me to a
Speaker 2: campaign of racist hatred because of my uncompromising belief in
Speaker 2: human rights for all. Yeah, it's it's really it's a shame.
Speaker 2: But USC isn't quite the bastion of free speech and
Speaker 2: progressive ideals that I think maybe people just because it's
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles University and they have like their own
Speaker 2: police force that are keeping the undesirables out at all times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, those are some of the things that
Speaker 1: are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We are back tomorrow
Speaker 1: with the whole ast episode of the show. Until then,
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
Speaker 1: the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we
Speaker 1: will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye from Doctor Factor, the a from the tri
