Speaker 1: I did this thing where escape Room.
Speaker 2: Let me just keep guessing.
Speaker 1: Back to keep guessing, because when I say it, when
Speaker 1: I say, you're gonna fucking quit the show, go ahead.
Speaker 3: What do you think? I tried to Escape Room, saw
Speaker 3: Benson Boone and sang along to him with a far
Speaker 3: off look.
Speaker 1: In your eyes, dude, like I was recently, I had
Speaker 1: to peace so bad. I started running to the bathroom
Speaker 1: and pulling my pants down before I got to the toilet.
Speaker 1: And I'm just peing. I'm peing, just kids style with
Speaker 1: my butt out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, movie diarrhea style, pants down, just peeing into the toilet.
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's something so liberating about being like that.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you know what, pants around my ankles,
Speaker 1: butt out.
Speaker 3: Pants down, ass out that way, I like curin. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wait, so was this I missed the first? Was this
Speaker 4: in public?
Speaker 3: Or were you? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, at a children's I'm in trouble.
Speaker 4: Trying to think if I've done butt out. That does
Speaker 4: sound Yeah, it sounds free. I'll try it today.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked public because I saw a guy
Speaker 1: do but like an older man, like in.
Speaker 3: Six fully butt out peeing in a in.
Speaker 1: A at a sports event, and I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean whatever, get it how you live.
Speaker 3: But these old people, how you live, sir?
Speaker 2: I would ask you, get it how you live? Man,
Speaker 2: get it, how you live?
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 4: I was at the doctors the other day and this
Speaker 4: old man we were all just kind of waiting the lobby.
Speaker 4: He went outside and I could see him through the
Speaker 4: window and fully took his shirt off.
Speaker 3: Wow to do what? Hang out? Fight? Some just fucking
Speaker 3: be old in the sun. Oh wow. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: it's like some skin to skin. You know why he's
Speaker 3: probably old friend the sun.
Speaker 1: He's trying to He's trying to expand his vitamin D net.
Speaker 1: You cover up now all you that skin can't absorb
Speaker 1: that vitamin D. But then you take that ship off.
Speaker 1: Now your chest is like a solar panel.
Speaker 3: Baby. Yeah. Man, it's like that.
Speaker 4: It's like the butt out pissing thing too. It's like
Speaker 4: it probably felt great. Honestly, we were all we were
Speaker 4: all bummed.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can at least reason a scientific there's
Speaker 1: like a scientific explanation for like why you might be
Speaker 1: able to absorb more vitamin D from the sun by
Speaker 1: not wearing a shirt versus just having your butt out,
Speaker 1: just have your full yeeks out while you take a pee.
Speaker 3: But either way it's yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, I I'm into a sort of a tighter
Speaker 4: pant these days. Back when I was a pant I
Speaker 4: in my larger jeans, I would be it wouldn't be
Speaker 4: a big deal all. But now that I have like
Speaker 4: and there, we're not talking insanely tight.
Speaker 3: But yeah, just to.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, they're so tight you can't
Speaker 1: have your butt out when you pete.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying that, Like if I had an especially
Speaker 4: parent tight pair of pants on, I'm trying to think
Speaker 4: of a reason why I would do a butt out,
Speaker 4: and I would it would feel I didn't.
Speaker 3: Make take it off like Bana.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to take it off a bra or something.
Speaker 1: I had to do it to prevent myself from peeing
Speaker 1: my Like I was like if I if I'm I
Speaker 1: was signaling to my body the toilet is almost here.
Speaker 3: Holds, you can't let your body know the toilet's.
Speaker 1: Almost say, because at first I was breaking, I was like,
Speaker 1: where's the toilet.
Speaker 2: I'm like, don't worry, baby, the butt is out. We're
Speaker 2: almost peeing.

Speaker 4: of people who are you know, doing impressions of the
Speaker 4: worst person at the Mothership in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? That's been hearing that I
Speaker 3: don't I don't frequently go after like podcasts that are
Speaker 3: stand up comedians talking about stand up comedy. But I
Speaker 3: have seen a few clips where stand ups are like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like really bad. It's like really bad out here.
Speaker 3: Now everybody is just like me king racist jokes and
Speaker 3: like that's who you follow up on stage?
Speaker 2: Yes, racist people?
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, And and you know, I don't know,
Speaker 4: I had a friend that moved there, and he's like,
Speaker 4: he said, he goes, people are saying things on stage
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say in a private text and crushing that's
Speaker 4: what he said.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well sounds we're backsliding, baby, ye, especially for like.
Speaker 4: The comics, the comics that were already there before. All
Speaker 4: that should happen there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, extra, I was.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like everything is just democratized in this
Speaker 1: weird way where people are like, oh, I can do
Speaker 1: that like any We're truly in the era where everyone
Speaker 1: feels they can do anything, including being like a like
Speaker 1: an astronaut or like nautical engineer or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, pop ed writer right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was a Department of Health and Suitor human Services.
Speaker 1: I was having I was having lunch with someone and
Speaker 1: I was talking about like my job and like comedy
Speaker 1: and stuff.
Speaker 3: And then when I was going to the parking lot,
Speaker 3: this guy chased after me. He's like, hey, hey, hey man,
Speaker 3: you said you work in comedy, And.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I was like that sound I
Speaker 1: really went. I literally went, oh I And like, as
Speaker 1: I was saying that, I was like, what do I
Speaker 1: say to not be a dick? To like avoid this conversation,
Speaker 1: but they came up pretty polite and sort of like
Speaker 1: wide eyed and bushy tailed kind of, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I work with comedians, like, oh man,
Speaker 1: if there's any advice you can get me, Like, how
Speaker 1: do I get like I'm trying to do scene work
Speaker 1: and like crowd work. I'm sorry, said I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do crowd work, Like I want to do crowd work.
Speaker 1: It sounds like we got an open mic for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like social media, but I was like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean. He's like, how do I get into that?
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, like the stuff you
Speaker 1: see on Instagram? And I was like, oh, you need
Speaker 1: to go to some open mics and figure out what
Speaker 1: you want to do.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh this stuff on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was like when he said it like that,
Speaker 1: I was like, this makes so much sense. It's like
Speaker 1: it's really not like we grew up being like look
Speaker 1: at these stand up comedians, like these specials, these one
Speaker 1: hours or whatever, and you're like, that's fucking that's what
Speaker 1: it takes to go up there. And now a lot
Speaker 1: of people just see these short form clips and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can I can make fun of some guy's name for.
Speaker 3: Comedy.
Speaker 4: No, it's been reduced to this thing, and there is
Speaker 4: a fair cross section of people are like, I'm a
Speaker 4: total dick. I probably could do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So when I when I see people coming to MIC's
Speaker 4: and they're like shy or nervous, or a woman or
Speaker 4: someone who you know what I mean, I'm like, you
Speaker 4: come here like you're gonna do please stay with us.
Speaker 3: We need you here, we need your voice of like,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Usually some guy cracking his knuckles and yeah, I was
Speaker 5: both the funniest person in my frat house according to me,
Speaker 5: and I've got a major personality disorder that makes it
Speaker 5: so I can basically feel no social anxiety whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Just shame receptors. Receptors. So I'm gonna be pretty successful
Speaker 3: in this business or a billionaire. Yeah, one one way
Speaker 3: or another. You're gonna know my name unfortunately more. What's
Speaker 3: something you think is underrated? Underrated? Right now?
Speaker 4: Well you might not say he's underrated, but he is
Speaker 4: the the the head of the department of Hell the
Speaker 4: Human Services.
Speaker 3: I think RFK underrated. No, I've did the wrong one.
Speaker 3: You have to stick with it and justify that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: here's flag fly.
Speaker 4: Here's what I love about him. Like, I like that
Speaker 4: he sounds like a ghost who's trying to stage whisper.
Speaker 4: There's something about uh natural as m r. That makes
Speaker 4: me feel calm and cared for. Well, what I do
Speaker 4: think is funny is the so many Republicans are just
Speaker 4: getting around in the idea that they really kind of
Speaker 4: want regulation, you know, which historically was like a liberal thing,
Speaker 4: but all of a sudden they're like, man, these wow,
Speaker 4: these industries don't control themselves. What could we possibly do
Speaker 4: about this?
Speaker 2: You know, he's one of the great thinkers of our time.
Speaker 1: Why do you think he's all right? Fine, let's just
Speaker 1: thought experiment. Why would you say he's overrated?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Oh, now that's gonna be a tough one.
Speaker 3: Are you up to it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: If you want back out, if you want you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, I think.
Speaker 4: He's I think he's over Well, I was saying he's
Speaker 4: overrated because he was elevated to such an incredible position,
Speaker 4: so that therein by itself, is an overrated He's like
Speaker 4: overemployed for his abilities.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh interesting, I completely disagree. He's underemployed because he
Speaker 3: should be president because of the last name Kennedy.
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, pro Kennedy and it doesn't matter the politics.
Speaker 4: I like them all equally.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean that was kind of his thing too.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm a Kennedy and it doesn't matter the politics.
Speaker 3: I should be president. Uh, and I will change my politics.
Speaker 3: You want me to change my politics? Hell? Yeah, easy done.
Speaker 3: What's something you think is underrated? Well? Yeah, so this underrated?
Speaker 4: This involves a little bit of a story, which is, uh,
Speaker 4: I went to the doctor the today and she used
Speaker 4: the phrase booty hole three times with me, and so
Speaker 4: I think that doctors should use more like calm, very
Speaker 4: common language.
Speaker 3: Because I felt like I felt secure. It made me laugh.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're just like, wait, how did okay
Speaker 1: you're an improviser, how did this play out?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I'm forty five, So how do I say
Speaker 4: this nuppie crass again?
Speaker 3: It's time for my asshole is terrible? Is that?
Speaker 2: Oh you got a bad asshole? Terrible asshole?
Speaker 4: Well you need to like yeah, because well I don't
Speaker 4: have a day right e one, so I need to
Speaker 4: get on that. So but and then also just the
Speaker 4: age thing, I'm forty five, so she's like, we're gonna
Speaker 4: have to start talking about and she said, I just don't.
Speaker 2: Have to start talking about that booty hole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, friend, And I.
Speaker 4: Got, hey, you're a doctor, please use the clinical term, which.
Speaker 3: Is dry ass bussy. Yeah, oh you got a dry one.
Speaker 3: Congratulations what you're in constantly. I was just having this
Speaker 3: thought recently. I was listening to Jeremy Corbyn, uh, you know,
Speaker 3: left leaning leader in UK be interviewed, and it was
Speaker 3: on that podcast, the Blind Boy podcast I talk about
Speaker 3: sometimes on here. Yeah, CAP's in a bit of trouble

Speaker 1: Aren't they They're.
Speaker 3: Like they were flying the terrorist flags.
Speaker 1: They're like, you guys are stretching with them anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man. So he was interviewing Jeremy Corbyn and he
Speaker 3: was talking to him about neoliberalism and Jeremy Corbyn was like,
Speaker 3: I don't like to use the phrase neoliberalism because people
Speaker 3: don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: It makes them turn their brain off. I prefer the
Speaker 2: politics of sharp elbows. And I was like, well, I
Speaker 2: don't know what the fuck that means.
Speaker 3: And also why not just like this is the thing
Speaker 3: just generally across the board where like people are just
Speaker 3: like let's like workshop of praise. It's like it's like
Speaker 3: a very like big d democrat thing where it's just like,
Speaker 3: how do we like do a turn of phrase to
Speaker 3: make it sound like memeable and fun and it's never
Speaker 3: gonna work. Just like, call it the fucking thing, don't
Speaker 3: don't call it a booty hole, just like we can't
Speaker 3: just trust that we can be intelligent enough, intelligent enough
Speaker 3: to be like a you know, aenus or whatever doctors
Speaker 3: call it.
Speaker 4: Except for booty hole. I do think we should always booty.
Speaker 3: Hos genuinely funny and I kind of respect it. It's
Speaker 3: times so far so far in that direction. That is
Speaker 3: a good BSM, but good bedside manner on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, please call my asshole the great pit of Carcoon. Okay,

Speaker 1: just getting op eds from white men about how hard
Speaker 1: life is.
Speaker 3: And you were talking about like people being seeing something
Speaker 3: and being like I can do that. This guy saw
Speaker 3: like James Baldwin's writing, Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 3: I have the same man.
Speaker 1: This is a lot like when he went to Paris, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is on Business Insider. It's a really weird like
Speaker 1: they have everything from like these em and ms are
Speaker 1: climbing up the charts to like political news and then
Speaker 1: other ones like so many anecdotal stories like how I
Speaker 1: left my job in marketing to be a digital nomad,
Speaker 1: and why don't regret the decision?
Speaker 2: Up until that last one, it sounds like this show
Speaker 2: EM and m's mixed with political.
Speaker 1: Political things and yeah, I'm man, but we will, I mean,
Speaker 1: we are going to continue the tradition by talking about
Speaker 1: this one.
Speaker 2: Like I said up top, it's called My name is Chad.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm white, working office jobs and sometimes I wear
Speaker 1: a vest and you happy.
Speaker 2: When when I saw this, like.
Speaker 1: Head, I was like, Okay, where is this going. I
Speaker 1: was like, maybe this is going to be some kind
Speaker 1: of reflection on whiteness and how oppression.
Speaker 3: Works or something. Nope.
Speaker 1: The piece starts off with the author let's call him
Speaker 1: Chad because that is his name, talking about how loaded
Speaker 1: the name Chad is like in interactions, he says, he
Speaker 1: references like it couldn't escape it. In like the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties, there was like the surfer Chad. Then the
Speaker 1: two thousand election they were hanging in pregnant chads, my god.
Speaker 3: And now there's like the Internet now, like the Internet.
Speaker 1: Like if you're doom scrolling, people talk about chads all
Speaker 1: the time and like giga chads.
Speaker 2: So Chad like the nineties.
Speaker 3: Chad thing, by the way, was the most like benign,
Speaker 3: toothless fucking joke like it was like made specifically like
Speaker 3: gian for Jay Leno's like super workshopped fucking like focus
Speaker 3: grouped comedy bits, like it had nothing. It was in
Speaker 3: no way like other than being sort of annoying that
Speaker 3: people would be like, oh, Chad hanging Chad, Like for
Speaker 3: him to act like that was a hardship tells us
Speaker 3: everything we need to know heading into this article.
Speaker 1: I just want to show, like, this guy's face is
Speaker 1: so funny because like he's I.
Speaker 4: Want to see him.
Speaker 3: He's holding.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, he's holding a bottle of beer, it says,
Speaker 6: Chad goes he's so he talks about how the name
Speaker 6: is like everywhere, and he says, quote, still I worry
Speaker 6: about it because my name, my name is and sometimes I.
Speaker 1: Look like what people think that means even if I'm.
Speaker 2: Not, And he talks about it.
Speaker 1: I was like I used to even put empty beer
Speaker 1: bottles on a bookshelf when I was in college. And
Speaker 1: then he goes on, he's like that Guarantee is a
Speaker 1: daily being named Chad. Guarantee is a daily dose of perspective.
Speaker 1: And I'm determined to use it.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: It's a reminder not to take myself too seriously. I
Speaker 1: like that part he goes on about when it starts
Speaker 1: getting a little bit dodgy being named chat. The only
Speaker 1: time I truly worry about my name is in professional settings.
Speaker 1: It's hard not to picture a hiring manager, a potential client,
Speaker 1: or editor seeing my name and shaking their head. So
Speaker 1: I hedge from time to time using my initials CW
Speaker 1: in place of Chad.
Speaker 3: CW.
Speaker 1: Another thing that is violently white.
Speaker 3: Like also has a weird cultural connotation. Just think of
Speaker 3: me as the CW babe. I go my Michigan j
Speaker 3: Frog to make sure there's no negative connotation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he starts with hello, my baby, Hello e uh,
Speaker 1: and then it goes I don't want something so trivial
Speaker 1: to be the difference between success and failure. I feel
Speaker 1: I owe it to myself to let the work speak
Speaker 1: for me, not the name, in which when I read that,
Speaker 1: I became the Willy Wonka meme of please tell me
Speaker 1: more about it, Tell me about your dark world in
Speaker 1: which you.
Speaker 3: Have to me. I thinks he's inventing the idea of
Speaker 3: discrimination totally like he's the Columbus into his head, and
Speaker 3: he was like, somebody needs to write about this. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And and the idea of emotions too, like the
Speaker 4: man a white man grappling with the reality if he
Speaker 4: may have had an emotion.
Speaker 1: Oh thank god, my empty my empty bottles are still
Speaker 1: on the shelf.
Speaker 3: You're still chat. You're still chat.
Speaker 2: I was like, man, I really honestly, So he'll go on.
Speaker 2: You know, I still just can't like the idea.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, Chad, what is it like to be
Speaker 1: completely judged based on rigid cultural archetypes? You know, it
Speaker 1: makes you worry about how people will perceive you, right,
Speaker 1: I mean like that by having the name Chad, they
Speaker 1: will flatten you into some kind of meme that robs
Speaker 1: you of your individuality.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just haven't thought of the nuances before this.
Speaker 3: Chad go on.
Speaker 1: He wraps the piece up about how he misses his
Speaker 1: best friend.
Speaker 2: This is where it gets so weird.
Speaker 1: I know some things about the name Chad that others
Speaker 1: don't like. When I hear it spoken by my wife,
Speaker 1: who doesn't say it often, I can't help but feel
Speaker 1: small flutter in my chest. Or when I think of
Speaker 1: my childhood best friend. Sorry, that's some other thing about
Speaker 1: the name Chad. But all right, all right, sorry, go
Speaker 1: right right. It's like it's something it's your name. It's
Speaker 1: that your partner's talking to you. It's like it's that
Speaker 1: your wife said you're naming you got a little bit horny.
Speaker 3: But again, he thinks that this is he thinks he's
Speaker 3: the only person who has felt things like that's just
Speaker 3: power of the name.
Speaker 2: If your name's Jack, you ain't feeling that shit.
Speaker 3: Oh man, sorry.
Speaker 4: It's also really that sentence has could have a mountain
Speaker 4: of subtext of like why does it, hey, buddy, why
Speaker 4: doesn't she ever say your name?
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 4: I hope they just walk around in the silence.
Speaker 3: Oh normally, like most wives just grunts in my direction
Speaker 3: and seems generally disappointed whenever she looks at me, Oh.
Speaker 1: You're still here. I thought you said you're going to
Speaker 1: go right at the Starbucks today. All right, just don't
Speaker 1: bother me. I have calls starting at eleven. So then
Speaker 1: again it's like it's unique to Chaddy.
Speaker 3: Cool. Then he goes on.
Speaker 1: Or when I think of my childhood best friend, whom
Speaker 1: I haven't spoken to in years, I remember the way
Speaker 1: our names were always said in a pair Cam and Chad,
Speaker 1: and I smile because there are lots of stories caught
Speaker 1: in between the utterance.
Speaker 3: Of those names together. For better or worse.
Speaker 1: Chad is my name, and I still long to hear
Speaker 1: it said again in the voice of people who are
Speaker 1: no longer here and whom I miss dearly.
Speaker 3: And it goes on.
Speaker 2: I remember, it's like, and that's sort of like the
Speaker 2: last sort of paragraph.
Speaker 4: Which, by the way, the fact that he hasn't talked
Speaker 4: to his childhood best friend is the closest he can
Speaker 4: get to a tragedy exactly.
Speaker 3: That is, he is a fucking tragedy seeking missile. He
Speaker 3: is just doing anything he can to find anything to
Speaker 3: be like. I have faced hardship too. Yeah, there's there's
Speaker 3: that SNL sketch drunk Boyfriend, where the drunk boyfriend started
Speaker 3: crying about his day. He is my uncle in the
Speaker 3: morning at three in the morning, crying about an uncle
Speaker 3: who you've never heard of before, who died seven years earlier.
Speaker 3: And I used to think that that was the greatest
Speaker 3: encapsulation of a certain type of white person until I
Speaker 3: read Chad's article. Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4: All Will, I will defend Chad briefly and say that, yes,
Speaker 4: he's co opting oppression, which is a nightmare. But and
Speaker 4: it's basically like, this is all. This is all solved
Speaker 4: immediately in half a therapy session. This is not a
Speaker 4: news article. Go say that you had two feelings and
Speaker 4: discuss what it means with a therapist.
Speaker 2: My wife hates me and I miss cam. Yeah, that's it, okay,
Speaker 2: let's talk about.
Speaker 3: It, right.
Speaker 4: But then I will say he okay, so he adopts
Speaker 4: the what what happens usually with these days, they adopt rebellion,
Speaker 4: which they don't need at all. They are you know,
Speaker 4: they are the oppression, right, But he does turn it
Speaker 4: using therapy ideas, so at least he's not becoming like
Speaker 4: violently outraged about it. Although as somebody named mort, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: try people thinking that your name means that you're a
Speaker 4: fucking hot hot air balloon captain, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Or like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like Moore is opening yourself up to
Speaker 1: more bits where people are gonna fuck with you.
Speaker 3: Then like chat, You're like, yeah, whatever, chat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a job interviewing, Like all right, this
Speaker 4: guy's a borsch belt comedian from the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 3: I guess fuck it. They're like, oh, I wasn't expecting you. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I used to be called like jack Off or jackm
Speaker 3: Off or you know, help your uncle Jack. I haven't
Speaker 3: thought about that fact until reading this article. Like the
Speaker 3: idea that this person is just stuck in that initial
Speaker 3: in those initial hanging chad jokes and like so wounded
Speaker 3: by them is just well.
Speaker 4: And Chad is a name for like you can't get
Speaker 4: Chad all that stuff. It's a name for you guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's shorthand to be like do that just
Speaker 1: a fucking Chad. That dude's a like yeah again, this
Speaker 1: is him having to create his own oppression because it's
Speaker 1: that's that's just what he's been trained to do.
Speaker 3: Is he my name?
Speaker 4: Like that guy you hear my name and you're like,
Speaker 4: that guy probably has a really weird boner, you know,
Speaker 4: it's a.
Speaker 2: Very weird boner where there's originals on tep Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, more mort's coming.
Speaker 4: And by the way, I love my name and I
Speaker 4: love who I am, and I think I'm doing wonderful things.
Speaker 1: That I'm trying to be less, especially when you're when
Speaker 1: you when you hear your wife say it, but also,
Speaker 1: god damn it if you didn't miss Cam'.
Speaker 4: I'm glad that he's admitting that his heart flutters. I
Speaker 4: think that's actually I think that's actually good.
Speaker 3: That's nice.
Speaker 1: Actually, you know, like it's funny, like it could have
Speaker 1: I could have been fine with this whole thing just
Speaker 1: at one moment, even if for one moment it could
Speaker 1: have been more palatable if he just exercised just a
Speaker 1: fragment of away yes, and to be like, this is
Speaker 1: wales in comparison to being judged based on your name alone.
Speaker 1: Ask anyone with a non American white sounding name, Ask
Speaker 1: a gender fluid person what that's like stepping a room
Speaker 1: people like, oh, I don't know if I was that
Speaker 1: even if you did, even if you could acknowledge that
Speaker 1: and how this, how trivial this is, then it would
Speaker 1: maybe you.
Speaker 2: Could kind of bring this around to something funny.
Speaker 4: But it's just like when here's Chad and maybe in
Speaker 4: the nineties and the two thousands and where's Cam.
Speaker 1: Okay, dude, I don't know, man, why did you publish
Speaker 1: this business Insider? It's interesting that like in the HTML,
Speaker 1: like the r L sorry the u r L of
Speaker 1: this piece it's not like you know, usually sometimes they'll
Speaker 1: spell the whole article name out. It just said it's
Speaker 1: business insider dot com slash. My name is widely despised.
Speaker 1: I love it anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just Chad.
Speaker 3: It's just Chad. Like this, this is the premise of
Speaker 3: an article written by somebody named Jeffrey Epstein like that,
Speaker 3: you know, like that should be what it is, but
Speaker 3: instead it's just somebody who is just fucking digging, just
Speaker 3: reaching so hard. My name is under their figuernails. My
Speaker 3: name is dry ass bussy, and I'm I'm learning to
Speaker 3: live with it.
Speaker 4: Middle name ass name dry all capitalized bussy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I could have taken this in a way that's like,
Speaker 3: you know, and in many ways, like the discrimination I've
Speaker 3: faced around, the name Chad is probably more good than
Speaker 3: bad and has helped me in ways that I haven't
Speaker 3: even noticed or realized the name Chad probably you know,
Speaker 3: born on second and not realizing it, thinking I hit
Speaker 3: a double yeah, exactly exactly. But instead it's just you know,
Speaker 3: he's exercising his poetry boom exactly. Well.
Speaker 1: I'm the follow up piece that's coming out Monday from
Speaker 1: Business Insiders called I am Karen, hear me roar parenthetical,
Speaker 1: starts recording on her phone and crying hysterically.
Speaker 3: This is the name of that.
Speaker 2: I be like, yeah, I'll hear you out, Karen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Karen, you don't want to be called Karen.
Speaker 3: You just don't.
Speaker 1: We're just that's that's what the culture has done to
Speaker 1: that name. Now, Chad whatever, bro.
Speaker 2: I'd love an essay from Karen Kilgarriff about like what
Speaker 2: the past five years have been like with an actual
Speaker 2: hilarious person finger speak about it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, anyways, let's talk about Elon Musk real quick.
Speaker 3: Just a block of complete ship heads we got. Elon
Speaker 3: Musk has announced that his scheduled time as a special
Speaker 3: government employee is now coming to an end. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: Our writer Jam said it has real. Pucci died on
Speaker 3: the way back to his own planet energy, but he
Speaker 3: also along the way, you know, he's like, well, we
Speaker 3: accomplished what we aimed to. His initial goal was cutting
Speaker 3: spending by the way bad, cutting spending bad, But his
Speaker 3: idea was he's going to cut it by two trillion dollars.
Speaker 3: And then he was like started being like and like,
Speaker 3: we said, we're going to cut it to one trillion dollars,
Speaker 3: and then the next time that he was talking about
Speaker 3: it publicly, he was like, we're going to cut it
Speaker 3: to like one hundred and fifty billion dollars, so bit
Speaker 3: off more than he could chew, and is yeah, just
Speaker 3: all around the latest person to be like I'm going
Speaker 3: to use this Trump guy and then just get completely
Speaker 3: fucking owned by Trump and walk out the other side
Speaker 3: massively diminished in so many different ways. Dude, you do
Speaker 3: love to see it.
Speaker 1: He got fucking like everything you get, you will get played.
Speaker 1: You will get played. He plays his own fucking kids. Bro,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna fucking walk out of there unscathed. You
Speaker 1: will walk out of there being like, god, damn, I
Speaker 1: got played. What the fuck?
Speaker 3: And not even that, I'm like, I feel bad for you.
Speaker 1: That's what you get, k oh, for sure the one
Speaker 1: joy we have of this fucking administration. Just walk out
Speaker 1: of there with your head hung low. But I mean,
Speaker 1: like this is all coming as Musk is publicly disagreeing
Speaker 1: with Trump over the spending bill, being like it's kind
Speaker 1: of antithetical to the whole Doge mission to like increase spending.
Speaker 1: Like that's like, dude, just shut up, like you you
Speaker 1: couldn't even he got pressed by a riport. He's like,
Speaker 1: even if you cut this much money every single day,
Speaker 1: you still wouldn't hit your goal, like in the timeframe
Speaker 1: you're saying. He's like, and he like lost it because
Speaker 1: they just bothered to do a simple calculations, Like it's
Speaker 1: not about that.
Speaker 2: It's not about that.
Speaker 1: It's like, well that's what you're saying, doge will do.
Speaker 1: But yeah, now we're kind of we're truly seeing just
Speaker 1: how weakened Musk is. There's also this these reports like
Speaker 1: where Musk suddenly appeared on Trump's Middle East like grifter trip,
Speaker 1: like and it were like, oh, oh yeah, what's Elon
Speaker 1: must doing there? Apparently he was there because he caught
Speaker 1: wind of a deal that was going to be announced
Speaker 1: between the White House, United Arab Emirates and his main
Speaker 1: op Sam Altman's Open AI for some big earth killer
Speaker 1: fucking AI project, and he went there to try and
Speaker 1: poison the well and sour the deal to either get
Speaker 1: Altman off of it or to get his company x
Speaker 1: AI to also be named in it. And he had
Speaker 1: no capital. They're like, yeah, sorry, we're.
Speaker 3: Going through with it.
Speaker 2: There's nothing you can do, and he was like fuck.
Speaker 2: So now he's slunking.
Speaker 4: At us, just all like, well, I guess my term
Speaker 4: is up.
Speaker 1: But he is taking. Like I said, he just hired
Speaker 1: Stephen Miller's wife to work for him personally.
Speaker 2: So I can't wait until he gets her pregnant.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm saying maybe Musk heard that she had three
Speaker 1: kids with teenage mutant Ninja Gebels and was like, oh,
Speaker 1: fertile are we? And because I do not have intercourse,
Speaker 1: but I like to be around fertile people, So yeah,
Speaker 1: could you open.
Speaker 3: This envelope please? And you're pregnant with my child?
Speaker 4: Yew don't Also when you like when you when you
Speaker 4: multiply things with negative numbers, it becomes negative. Right, So
Speaker 4: those two the lack of charisma between like like Steven
Speaker 4: Miller times Elon Musk times his wife. The child that
Speaker 4: that would create, it would be just a human.
Speaker 1: Black It would ye antimatter. Yeah, that would consume the mother.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it'd be like the energy vampire from what
Speaker 4: we do in the Shadows. But all but that also
Speaker 4: has a chainsaw for somebody, like the most fright and
Speaker 4: confusing thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say the chainsaw is the one good
Speaker 3: because like usually the conservatives who like slash spending and
Speaker 3: just like ruin all governmental programs don't do it with
Speaker 3: like a lot of flair. They're usually like do it
Speaker 3: they know that it's bad, so they do it like
Speaker 3: behind closed doors. So for somebody to like, you know,
Speaker 3: do a Nazi salute and then like come through with
Speaker 3: a prop gigantic chainsaw and like completely ruin all of
Speaker 3: these government programs, I do feel like, you know, we're
Speaker 3: just by necessity. I think we're headed for a shift
Speaker 3: where people are going to, you know, the end of
Speaker 3: this neoliberal idea that like government's spending bad, privatization gave
Speaker 3: us a Coca cola, so like must be good. I
Speaker 3: think we're headed for an end to that thinking. But
Speaker 3: I think this is helpful. It helps that shift along
Speaker 3: its way for people to be like oh yeah, they
Speaker 3: like literally like celebratory in a celebratory manner, just treaded
Speaker 3: all these things that the world relies on, that our
Speaker 3: world relies on. Yeah, so he's congratulations, I mean, like
Speaker 3: a truly a complete fucking moron.
Speaker 1: And yeah, as you people, as people read articles about
Speaker 1: it and they talk about why he's leaving and like
Speaker 1: there's a Washington Post article.
Speaker 2: He's like, we're those just became the whipping boy for
Speaker 2: everyone's misgivings about what's happening.
Speaker 3: And it's really unfair.
Speaker 2: Not one mention of his Nazi ship.
Speaker 3: Come the fuck on you, What the fuck do you
Speaker 3: think anyway? Whatever?
Speaker 4: Yeah, He's like, all I did was shotgun amphetamines and
Speaker 4: put on meme glasses and come like, but you know
Speaker 4: do with Raisist salutes you.
Speaker 3: Why is everybody so mad at me?
Speaker 1: This is how he described it in an interview on
Speaker 1: CNNBC CNBC recently, like about like everyone is just absurd,
Speaker 1: he basically said. He said, in fact, every politician, any
Speaker 1: public speaker who has spoken for any length of time has.
Speaker 3: Made the exact same gesture.
Speaker 2: He kept saying he did.
Speaker 3: He addressed his Nazis.
Speaker 1: He's saying, He's like, they're trying to misconstrue. I said,
Speaker 1: my heart goes out to you, My heart goes easy, baby, easy, poppy.
Speaker 4: It's you can also you can't like give somebody the
Speaker 4: middle finger and be like no, no, I'm just pointing
Speaker 4: to your mouth, right, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 4: there are gestures that means you know.
Speaker 3: This, you know, at a time when he was giving
Speaker 3: speeches and like pushing for uh Germany to stop being
Speaker 3: so hard on like not on themselves about their past.
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly like get over the Holocaust.
Speaker 3: A At that time, he uh did he did say like,
Speaker 3: my heart goes out to you. After he did this,
Speaker 3: he he also stopped his speech, stepped to the side,
Speaker 3: and then gave the most enthusiastic Nazi select possible, Like
Speaker 3: the Nazis call that s OP standard operating procedure in
Speaker 3: terms that would be like you're doing a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're like that's all. That was very like you you
Speaker 3: almost like threw your back out when you did that.
Speaker 3: So we're trying not to like we want this to
Speaker 3: be sustainable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Hitler saw that, he'd be like that boy
Speaker 1: has too much dip on his chip.
Speaker 3: Hitler was flying on emphatics like that. It was like
Speaker 3: that guy's got wait thanks, have you ever seen that
Speaker 3: clip of him just like rocking back and forth.
Speaker 2: It's just like so fucking hot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then did it again and then less to
Speaker 3: anybody think that he was fucking around or.
Speaker 1: And then also only let's not forget the string of
Speaker 1: imperson like other people who are like, oh, okay, it's
Speaker 1: cool now, oh we good here that like in the
Speaker 1: following events, like in conservative events, people start doing it
Speaker 1: and then they're.
Speaker 3: Like, ah, that was a that was not what I
Speaker 3: was doing. It was like what you are? Fuck?
Speaker 4: And then he also didn't He kind of immediately twists
Speaker 4: tweet a whole bunch of like not Holocaust puns about it.
Speaker 1: Right, He's always I don't know, maybe he did.
Speaker 4: I think he did, yeah, which is psychotic, like you
Speaker 4: cannot you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: The whole thing is this, it's all trolling. It's all again.
Speaker 4: This is a fifty nine sixty four year old man
Speaker 4: who's desperate for the validation of four chan in twenty eleven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. Yeah. Quent is obviously super
Speaker 3: super deserved. Victor points out that Nick Quent has the
Speaker 3: like open not like legit, like yeah, a nounci I
Speaker 3: think I think the Holocaust good? I am Nazi? He
Speaker 3: was like, are you wait, are you kidding me? You
Speaker 3: don't think that was nazis? He his next show just
Speaker 3: like laughing. He was like, my god, get it all right.
Speaker 3: Even he was like a little too much dip on
Speaker 3: your chip. Yeah, like that was a lot blown. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You can't just throw the frog in a boiling pot
Speaker 1: of Nazi water, you know what, You gotta turn it
Speaker 1: up gradually.
Speaker 2: Bad for sales, Yeah, at the very least.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take a quick break.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 2: We're back, and we're back.
Speaker 3: And Russia has kind of a genius idea. What if?
Speaker 3: What if muppet babies but dictators modern dictators?
Speaker 1: Oh, go on.
Speaker 3: The Russian government is making a propaganda cartoon for toddlers.
Speaker 3: The only clip that has been released so far the
Speaker 3: show is called sand Pit. For some reason, it's like Pixar.
Speaker 3: You've seen these, you know, animations, sort of like a
Speaker 3: cocoa melon level. Like, it's like Pixar giant freaky baby face.
Speaker 4: I love that the closest Russians can get to being
Speaker 4: cute is sand Pit. Like that, it's what children, we
Speaker 4: will call it, buzzsaw ham the face, Like.
Speaker 3: Go play in the sand pit you mean the sandbox? Yes, whatever, Okay,
Speaker 3: welcome to this garden. This garden. There's no time for
Speaker 3: joy over the age of two, all right, So we
Speaker 3: get to see in the clip putin Kim Jong un
Speaker 3: elon Musk and Trump.
Speaker 2: So this should be called Russian puppet babies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, babies, we've got compromid on you.
Speaker 3: It is designed to instill patriotism from an early age
Speaker 3: and teach Russian preschool children to quote discuss geopoloitics. I
Speaker 3: kind of love the scene cool digs at Macrone's wife's
Speaker 3: age and references to the collapse of Skype. You know,
Speaker 3: you know the stuff that kids like to.
Speaker 4: Teach kids that to hate the fact that women age,
Speaker 4: you're shit, never too young.
Speaker 1: To No, that's not the lesson. What we are doing
Speaker 1: is thumbing our noses at the French Republic. That's that
Speaker 1: misogynistic swipe it.
Speaker 3: Don't aggest that mister Macron should not be allowed to
Speaker 3: hang out with the other leaders on holiday and istanbul
Speaker 3: what why? Okay, because you are always with your granny
Speaker 3: burn oh man.
Speaker 1: Oh, because they're talking about hanging with Erwan in Turkey.
Speaker 1: That's why they're all okay, that makes sense that but.
Speaker 3: Like, really, like you have to be paying attention to
Speaker 3: international politics. How are you gonna make Eran look cute?
Speaker 3: What is that version they made everybody look? It's kind
Speaker 3: of weird. Putin just looks fucking haunted. It's everybody looks cute,
Speaker 3: and then Putin has like a receding hairline and like
Speaker 3: eyes that look like they've seen both world wars at
Speaker 3: the same time.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's hilarious that their call out of this is
Speaker 4: that even among dictators Putin is troubling.
Speaker 1: You know, I think this is the trouble with telling
Speaker 1: AI to make depictions of people, because it's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: like we can work with Kim Jong. We kind of
Speaker 1: got a round baby face. That'll work Trump even fine.
Speaker 3: Putin.
Speaker 1: They're like, we've only got these like weird, ghoulish photos
Speaker 1: of the coming back ghostly like it is the kid
Speaker 1: that would die in the next.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be like and then
Speaker 3: he caught the consumption and is he wearing like a
Speaker 3: terry cloth karate gi? He's wearing a karate g because
Speaker 3: big big Judoh yeah yeah, big Judoka. Hey, big Judo,
Speaker 3: he big Judo. And you don't know and you don't
Speaker 3: know your guns are hand me downs. Okay, I'm sorry
Speaker 3: you didn't know that, and I'm sorry to be the
Speaker 3: one to tell you that.
Speaker 1: And yes, but I will get you that ship that
Speaker 1: Gretzky skate on, but I we do just want to
Speaker 1: acknowledge here that this is nothing new for Americans. Oh no,
Speaker 1: we have been at the forefront of brainwashing children with
Speaker 1: presidential propaganda for decades. More recently, there's just been a
Speaker 1: couple Magal loyalists who have created children's books. I guess
Speaker 1: by turning Trump into like a children's book hero, it's
Speaker 1: just weird how effective it is. It's almost like he's
Speaker 1: really receptive to children book level, like that medium for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, speaks particularly to Trump.
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not gonna say it has anything to
Speaker 3: do with his reading level, but just current Ambassador to
Speaker 3: Israel Mike Huckabee published his Kid's Guide to President Trump
Speaker 3: last year. The book supports the execution of drug smugglers,
Speaker 3: describes illegal immigration as when people come to take money
Speaker 3: and jobs without paying taxes, sneak in to sell drugs,
Speaker 3: commit other crimes, and in the worst case, commit acts
Speaker 3: of terrorism. Kids again like fun, fun stuff for children.
Speaker 2: And yet somehow they're capturing the youth.
Speaker 3: Vote.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because kids love something they're not paying taxes. That's
Speaker 1: what they're going to talk about on the sea saw later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know they're not kids. Fucking hate when
Speaker 3: people don't pay taxes, by the way, obviously, like the
Speaker 3: Republicans are the people who don't pay taxes, right, and
Speaker 3: it's actually pay text at a much higher rate than
Speaker 3: non immigrants. Then you have FBI director Cash Ptel, who,
Speaker 3: before getting that job, wrote a trilogy of kids books
Speaker 3: in which Trump is a king whose election is threatened.
Speaker 3: You fucking plot against the King is one of them. Uh,
Speaker 3: and he's only victorious thanks to a wizard named Cash.
Speaker 3: So like, truly, just I'm this was aimed at Trump,
Speaker 3: Like this is squarely like he's going to read it
Speaker 3: because it's like at his level and I'm gonna just
Speaker 3: slide to some information. So I don't know that this
Speaker 3: isn't necessarily aimed at children as much as this one's
Speaker 3: aimed at an aging man with the reading level of
Speaker 3: a child. Yeah, but there have been I mean, but
Speaker 3: even before this era, there have been tons of comic
Speaker 3: books starring US presidents from both parties and yeah, just
Speaker 3: turning the president into a kid friendly hero. There's the
Speaker 3: famous Spider Man comment, in which an impersonator takes Barack
Speaker 3: Obama's form and Spider Man has to stop the impersonator
Speaker 3: and then determine the real Obama via his basketball skills.
Speaker 1: What yeah, oh wow, the time honored negro verification device
Speaker 1: the basketball What the fuck kind of.
Speaker 3: Okay? Okay, home boy, let me see you go around
Speaker 3: the world with it?
Speaker 2: Like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: I actually need to see this comic book. Now what
Speaker 3: is he like?
Speaker 2: At which point the real Obama thanks Peter Parker with
Speaker 2: a fist bump.
Speaker 1: Did Chad write this from the last story?
Speaker 2: Oh my friend Obama?
Speaker 1: The basketball man got the president, ask him about geopolitics?
Speaker 2: Even let's see how you nice? How nice you are
Speaker 2: with the rock fan.
Speaker 4: Let's see how good he is it wrapping.
Speaker 1: Like the next one Okay Challenge three breakdancing competition.
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 3: So they're like and then just some other black guy
Speaker 3: takes his place and nobody can tell the difference. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's the real problem. That's the real scary thing, this
Speaker 3: black president. We're gonna know? How are we gonna know?
Speaker 1: And that's the alarm we were trying to raise in
Speaker 1: this amazing Spider Man issue.
Speaker 3: It was a massive hit. Hundreds of people were standing.
Speaker 3: I think it was you know, it was early. It
Speaker 3: was like an inauguration day of the first Obama administration.
Speaker 3: Racism died that day. I get it.
Speaker 2: Finally we can get away with saying this stuff.
Speaker 3: Racism is over.
Speaker 2: I just want to say, I think it's just so cool.
Speaker 2: I think this is so cool.
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be my favorite Spider Man
Speaker 1: edition I've ever bought.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've got to find like the videos of people going.
Speaker 3: To buy this.
Speaker 1: I just remember, I think a lot of any black
Speaker 1: person who voted that day will probably probably the same
Speaker 1: experience of a white person looking at you and be like.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, hey, we're doing it, in it together, We're
Speaker 3: doing it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, and then I remember there's another at the time,
Speaker 1: because I was living at my my child at home,
Speaker 1: like with my mom, there's this other black.
Speaker 3: Dude in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: We had him like looking at together and like, okay, man,
Speaker 1: look gay Obama baby.
Speaker 3: Another guy like get in there, like dove between your
Speaker 3: eye contact to dab each other up. He's like, yes,
Speaker 3: fucks up the handshake, Yes I can.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you doing? Why are you wrapping
Speaker 1: your fingers in my hands?
Speaker 3: Why'd you grab my fist and then fist bumped my palm.
Speaker 2: Don't ever ask me what's bracking again? You can get
Speaker 2: fucked up for saying things like that.
Speaker 3: And it goes back to Nixon worked with the Fantastic Four,
Speaker 3: Superman with Buddies with the JFK obviously were on that one.
Speaker 4: Dipshit slower than a speeding bull.
Speaker 3: Yeah, damn sun.
Speaker 1: What I mean if you even think about it, Remember there,
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's cat had a fucking video game, Socks the
Speaker 1: Cat Rocks the Hill was I remember that game, and
Speaker 1: I was like, bro, this game. I remember renting it
Speaker 1: as lot. But yes, bro, because at the time when
Speaker 1: I was going there, I was getting games. I was
Speaker 1: super Nintendo. The only thing I wanted was f Zero
Speaker 1: or Street Fighter too. They were always out. So then
Speaker 1: I would have to go to some consolation game and then.
Speaker 3: A hundred copies of the Bill You get it.
Speaker 1: You get this game fucking Socks the Cat, and you
Speaker 1: got fucking Bill playing. Do you guys remember this game?
Speaker 3: No, I want to play it bad.
Speaker 2: It's fucking terrible anyway.
Speaker 3: It socks kind of a jerk.
Speaker 4: He looks like he's got a little bit of like
Speaker 4: kind of Bart simpsonnatitude.
Speaker 1: He's kind of doing his thing. I think there's a
Speaker 1: reference like yeah, Nixon, there's all kinds of shit.
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah real, what does this one say?
Speaker 3: No, we're whatever.
Speaker 1: There's like people, Oh, he's like I feel like we
Speaker 1: can protesters, you know what. I feel like we need
Speaker 1: to find this game again. What happened this game? It's
Speaker 1: incredible anyway.
Speaker 3: So yeah, like a true high point of neoliberalism. Super
Speaker 3: Nintendo game made about Clinton's or criminal with a saxophone.
Speaker 2: Like it's like the saxophone did so much work for.
Speaker 3: Him, and the front the cover art for the Super
Speaker 3: Nintendo game like looks like it got some notes back
Speaker 3: that was like, I don't know, could the jaw be
Speaker 3: a little bit bigger, square, a little more square? I
Speaker 3: should have a jaw Like my name is Chad or
Speaker 3: let's gray hair. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Is there a level where he has to dodge accusations
Speaker 4: from Monica Lewinsky, who's.
Speaker 3: Like who's like a big, scary, evil boss. Like it's
Speaker 3: kind of wild that this whole trend got started because
Speaker 3: the very first example of this is the nineteen sixties
Speaker 3: Saturday Morning cartoon Super President, in which the commander in Chief,
Speaker 3: which is just like kind of a generic commander in
Speaker 3: chief because it was LBJ at the time that nobody
Speaker 3: was like, yeah, LBJ would be a cool Saturday morning
Speaker 3: cartoon character. So they just had a generic blonde haired
Speaker 3: president who got superpowers, and everyone was like, this is bad.
Speaker 3: The Vietnam War is happening. It is that this is
Speaker 3: The National Association Broadcaster called the show, which aired in
Speaker 3: the midst of the Vietnam War quote an all time
Speaker 3: low and bad taste. With the President of the United
Speaker 3: States in a superman role. NBC was responsible for this
Speaker 3: direct ideological approach to totalitarianism. We fear that there may
Speaker 3: be other broadcasters who are irresponsible enough to keep it
Speaker 3: in circulation. I like that they were on the lookout
Speaker 3: for total tanism. Yeah, like couldn't be.
Speaker 1: A y'all't even talk about the tet offensive that just happened.
Speaker 3: What the fuck is going on with you?
Speaker 1: I also love they really kept it in line, just
Speaker 1: reminding people it's like, yo, we'll drop a fucking bomb
Speaker 1: on you. Because the logo on top of supers the
Speaker 1: super President's just he got an atomic particle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has his thing. Don't get it fucked up.
Speaker 3: We do have that thang on us, Like fifteen years later. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's happening in the sixties. This is like because that
Speaker 3: was kind of memory.
Speaker 1: There was that whole like atomic sort of aesthetic trend
Speaker 1: back then, you know, or like there were like clocks
Speaker 1: and things that were all sort of like inspired by
Speaker 1: atomic shit.
Speaker 3: Yeahah.
Speaker 4: It's also like people are seeing, you know, in Vietnam,
Speaker 4: they're seeing actual photos of the war. So this propaganda
Speaker 4: so far behind that to people be like no, no,
Speaker 4: you can't address this with a cartoon, motherfuckers, Like what
Speaker 4: are you?
Speaker 2: What is happening?
Speaker 3: Do something serious. It's also wild that the president has
Speaker 3: a white hood on, is it. Yeah, it's it's like
Speaker 3: a point like a white batman mask. But you can't
Speaker 3: really see that without at least, you know, thinking of
Speaker 3: the clan.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can't pull that off. Sorry, sorry, Chad.
Speaker 1: I know you love that white sisty that you wear.
Speaker 2: Out in public, but it kind of feels like a clan.

Speaker 4: about grief and it's called twenty twenty one and it's
Speaker 4: by McKenna Magasis m A g A Sis. It's like
Speaker 4: really sad and powerful and beautiful. It reminds me of

Speaker 1: you want, if you're interested in that article, that will
Speaker 1: be in the footnotes. Also talking about social nihilism.
