Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of why
Speaker 1: Can't We trend Together?
Speaker 2: By Trendy. Tell me what?
Speaker 3: Tell me?
Speaker 2: What is there?
Speaker 3: It is?
Speaker 2: I'm Jack, that is Miles.
Speaker 1: We are currently kind of into this video of a
Speaker 1: performance of the song that said that Hotline Bling samples
Speaker 1: called why Can't We Live Together?
Speaker 2: By Jenny Thomas.
Speaker 3: Nineteen eighty six live performance. We'll just put in the footnotes. Man,
Speaker 3: you just just notice why this it's one of the best.
Speaker 3: My keyboard isn't plugged in and I'm on drugs live performance.
Speaker 1: So much on drugs, on so much drugs. It's really
Speaker 1: infectious or not.
Speaker 4: I don't want to cast his versions. He could just
Speaker 4: be a freak.
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: He's high as a high in the only you know,
Speaker 1: only a way that people in the late seventies were
Speaker 1: like that high publicly, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, if anyone has any details on that,
Speaker 3: please let.
Speaker 2: Me where we can get those drugs.
Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's flying, but it's a good It's it's
Speaker 1: surprisingly close to Hotline Bling, because when Hotline Blink first
Speaker 1: came out, people were like, this is the same as
Speaker 1: that dram song.
Speaker 2: This is like the same as right, right right.
Speaker 1: And it's like no, it is like straight up this
Speaker 1: Timmy Thomas.
Speaker 3: It's called it's like it's the laziest kind of sampling. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like when people are just like, yeah, that part, I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna put some drums on it. It's fine not
Speaker 3: to say that that's not a great way of sampling.
Speaker 3: But it doesn't take it doesn't take much imagination. There
Speaker 3: was no mystery, there was no imagination.
Speaker 1: Anyways, highly recommend it and maybe we'll play it for
Speaker 1: you in one of Air Force Coming vid Jo episodes.
Speaker 2: Keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 5: Yeahah yeah, slowly, we're in the lab. We're in the lab,
Speaker 5: in the lab. Well, Miles uh. Steve Bannon, it's not
Speaker 5: always that I'm happy to see his name trending, but
Speaker 5: today is one of those.
Speaker 2: He's going to.
Speaker 3: Jail, big man in the Big House, and you know,
Speaker 3: this is what happened.
Speaker 4: So it's not because like, well is it for like
Speaker 4: the coup and like all this other stuff.
Speaker 3: No, he is basically going to jail because he was
Speaker 3: you know, he's convicted of contempt of Congress after he
Speaker 3: did not comply with a subpoena from the January sixth.
Speaker 4: Committee and he was like, yeah, asshole, try and force it.
Speaker 3: And he was convicted and he's like someth gonna appeal
Speaker 3: and the appeals court it's like, nah, sorry, asshole. So
Speaker 3: now he must go to jail to report to jail
Speaker 3: for his four month sentence.
Speaker 2: By July first. Yeah, shame that he won't be.
Speaker 1: Not only had he not faced consequence, Like all of
Speaker 1: his behavior in line with this specific conviction is just
Speaker 1: the behavior of somebody who has been so free of
Speaker 1: consequence for their whole life they can't even.
Speaker 2: Like really conceive of the idea of facing consequences, right.
Speaker 1: They're just like Congress is like you're gonna go to jail, man,
Speaker 1: like if you gotta come, and like just at every
Speaker 1: turn just was like, yeah, okay, get me sure, I'm
Speaker 1: sure they had a fourth shirt on and give you
Speaker 1: the double barrel fingers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And it's funny, like like part of me is like
Speaker 4: I hate celebrating people going to jail because prisons.
Speaker 2: I think we can make an exception with this, Like.
Speaker 3: It's we're just so used to these fucking freaks, like
Speaker 3: you're saying.
Speaker 2: Just be like I don't give a fuck about the law. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And you're like, why the fuck do we then?
Speaker 3: And then you're like, okay, glad, so there are I
Speaker 3: guess a four month sentence, but you know, like he'll
Speaker 3: probably come out stronger than ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, be interesting to see how jail effects him. And
Speaker 1: Trump's not going to jail, right, Like, we can all
Speaker 1: agree like that September or not. September eleventh, July eleventh,
Speaker 1: which I believe is only six point eight weeks from
Speaker 1: September eleventh, is going to be disappointing. Right now, I
Speaker 1: need to look at what six point eight weeks was
Speaker 1: either side of September eleventh, two thousand and one. I
Speaker 1: feel like this may be opening up the secret geometry mode.
Speaker 1: It's a reference to a paragraph about UH pilot, and
Speaker 1: everybody listens every episode.
Speaker 2: Read it again, I didn't say you needed to do that. Well.
Speaker 3: The pre seasonal chocolate pumpkin pie Eminem's is a strategic
Speaker 3: move that taps into mars. I can't, dude, it's I'm
Speaker 3: going to be saying this in the old Folks Home
Speaker 3: when no one comes to visit me anymore. It's the
Speaker 3: one thing I'll have on loop coming out of my mouth.
Speaker 2: What did it mean? What did it all mean.
Speaker 4: Oh he's he's urinating into his plants again.
Speaker 1: Hey man, that's we're actually going to be required to
Speaker 1: do that. By the time we're in an old folks cycle,
Speaker 1: the moistures and then you drink, drink out of the
Speaker 1: bottom and the plant will have mostly cleaned it out.
Speaker 2: Oh like water World, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Doesn't he drink his piss in water World?
Speaker 2: He does?
Speaker 1: He has like a big funnelly machine full of le Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: piss process.
Speaker 2: Who's it? And what's its glory? Clean? He's got funny
Speaker 2: all right. Ikea is uh, there's a new way to
Speaker 2: make money, folks.
Speaker 3: And yeah, what I'm still having trouble this is Ikea
Speaker 3: has created a Roadblocks video our game inside of Roadblocks.
Speaker 4: I'm there, I understand that.
Speaker 1: And then but it pays people to work sixteen thousand
Speaker 1: hour virtual workers who have to be eighteen or older,
Speaker 1: and your duties include organizing products and Ikea showrooms and
Speaker 1: serving endless amounts of meatballs at the Swedish food market.
Speaker 1: So I think it's just like they have actual work
Speaker 1: that needs to be done in the Roadblocks, So like
Speaker 1: it feels.
Speaker 2: Like a paid moderator account.
Speaker 1: But just in a video game where things need to
Speaker 1: be done.
Speaker 4: I I just don't know what what what.
Speaker 3: Do they how how either digital labor being done. This
Speaker 3: just feels like funny right where they're like, hey, you
Speaker 3: work at Ikea, but like you're not moving shit around
Speaker 3: for them in a realistic way that affects their business.
Speaker 2: I don't do it.
Speaker 1: Maybe like maybe you have to. Maybe it helps bring
Speaker 1: people to the Ikea Roadblocks game. Is like there's somebody
Speaker 1: who's there doing reliable work that you can like interact with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it allows quote player employees to
Speaker 3: immerse themselves in the working world of Ikea. Applying for
Speaker 3: this job includes answering questions like if you were pixelated
Speaker 3: at Ikea Furniture, what would you be. I think it's
Speaker 3: just like a fun way too, cause I don't think
Speaker 3: everybody can now get a gig working at digital Ikea,
Speaker 3: because if that was the case, I know a lot
Speaker 3: of people who would probably just do that. Like sixteen
Speaker 3: an hour, I can be fully butt naked, smoking weed,
Speaker 3: and I eat digital meatballs.
Speaker 2: Fine, fine, sure, sure, but.
Speaker 3: Maybe this is like the testing for our future matrix
Speaker 3: battery world where they're like, yeah, man, suit up for
Speaker 3: your digital shift.
Speaker 1: We need your human calories to power our machine world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll take So there's a already a popular game three
Speaker 1: thousand and eight three zero zero eight, which is a
Speaker 1: horror survival game set in an infinite Ikea, and Ikea
Speaker 1: has a history of taking legal action against indie horror
Speaker 1: action games that are set in Ikea like stores but
Speaker 1: aren't actually associated with them.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think, I mean, a more fun video
Speaker 3: game is like, I don't know if it takes place
Speaker 3: in the only thing I associate with Ikea is Swedish
Speaker 3: meatballs and couples fighting and arguing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like, a is there no movie that
Speaker 1: takes place in Nikea like should be?
Speaker 2: There was?
Speaker 3: Remember there were like people who were illegally shooting like
Speaker 3: a show inside.
Speaker 4: Of an ike there's like ten years ago, I feel like, but.
Speaker 1: Why was there not like a good big budget like
Speaker 1: zombie movie or rom com or.
Speaker 2: Action movie like die Hard in an Ikea. Yes?
Speaker 3: Please, Oh you're just saying like as the venue. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there were, oh two thousand and nine, it was called Dude. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a Channel one oh one show. It was
Speaker 3: called Ikea Heights.
Speaker 2: And did it like presupposed did it?
Speaker 1: Did it like create a fictional universe where like different
Speaker 1: people lived in different sections of an ikea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it was like a soap opera.
Speaker 3: Wow, But I think they were just using the sets
Speaker 3: basically the built out things as sets.
Speaker 2: Oh wow in.
Speaker 3: Nikea, dude, man, then like Randall Randall Park was in it,
Speaker 3: past guests.
Speaker 1: I could see an ikea set movie in like basically
Speaker 1: every genre, like the like an it's like that apocalyptic
Speaker 1: movie where the world that we've built for ourselves indoors
Speaker 1: is just like one big ikea you like sleep in
Speaker 1: like one, you sleep in the one bedroom set up
Speaker 1: and then like get out of bed and you're in
Speaker 1: the middle of an ikea with like a bunch of
Speaker 1: other bedroom setups.
Speaker 2: Then also, yeah, it could be easily a comedy.
Speaker 1: Easily a rom and where you're like trapped in an
Speaker 1: ikea trying to I don't know.
Speaker 4: Wait, everyone's trapped in an ikea. I just felt like as.
Speaker 1: A ve in the broad existential sense for the comedy,
Speaker 1: for the rom com you know, in the way that
Speaker 1: the reason that couples actually fight in ikeas, because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is this the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: Like turn into like an overwhelming existential experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well look, just just fucking make just open up
Speaker 3: like a fucking drive through for meat balls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would really help out.
Speaker 3: I think that's honestly the only move Ikea has to
Speaker 3: play after this, after obviously just giving people fast furniture,
Speaker 3: but create a window drive through section just for the meatballs,
Speaker 3: because I will eat them.
Speaker 1: They need help. Come on, Ikea, listen to us. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back, and uh, as I said, during the break,
Speaker 1: we got the story where Will Smith gets slapped in
Speaker 1: Big Boys four.
Speaker 2: Misspoke.
Speaker 1: Yeah boys boys, Wait boy, what you're going to do?
Speaker 2: So weird?
Speaker 3: They're leaking so much weird shit, like incrementally about this
Speaker 3: because I feel like no one like I loved the
Speaker 3: first one and then just diminishing returns after that. And
Speaker 3: then this time I saw a thing where like Lionel
Speaker 3: Messi was like in an ad for it that was
Speaker 3: just sort of like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: That's just so many weird sports time for movies around
Speaker 1: this time of year. Like I remember, was it two
Speaker 1: years ago when Nope came out and there were like
Speaker 1: all these like Steph Curry NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, tie ins with Nope?
Speaker 1: Yeah wait why is why is Steph Curry playing basketball
Speaker 1: inside the house from Nope?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: You know, right, but no, this one was like MESSI
Speaker 3: was like their neighbor. But all he's like saying in Miami, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah yeah, and You're like okay.
Speaker 3: And then the last thing I saw was just like
Speaker 3: a clip of behind the scenes clip of this camera
Speaker 3: rig that Will Smith was using to create like these
Speaker 3: POV shots, like for when he was like drawing his weapon,
Speaker 3: and it would just like be like POV of him
Speaker 3: holding the gun, then POV back looking at him and
Speaker 3: like he was able to he was operating the camera
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, that's an interesting filmmaking thing.
Speaker 3: But there's just like so much shit being like bad boys,
Speaker 3: bad boys, bad boys that I'm like, okay.
Speaker 2: We get it. Like now what he gets.
Speaker 1: The great piece of viral marketing they came up with
Speaker 1: is putting something that is going to be headline generating
Speaker 1: inside the movie. In this case, there is a scene
Speaker 1: in which Will Smith gets is having a panic attack
Speaker 1: and Martin Lawrence has to slap him several times to
Speaker 1: shake him out of it, and I do deeply apologize
Speaker 1: for if that spoiled one of the set pieces of
Speaker 1: Bad Boys for for people. And I then but what
Speaker 1: happens probably if I had to guess, he gets snapped
Speaker 1: out of it, like does it the thing the only
Speaker 1: way having a panic attack and then get like brutally
Speaker 1: murdered by the drug cartel.
Speaker 3: That it's just such a weird thing like it for
Speaker 3: it to be like this sort of like meta culture joke,
Speaker 3: like does does Will Smith during this panic attack say
Speaker 3: something about Martin Lawrence's wife?
Speaker 2: So we don't know we have this setup? Im possible
Speaker 2: to know that, Miles, it's just such a stupid weight.
Speaker 2: I don't like why tease that out.
Speaker 1: It's a pop exorcism, Miles, It's a pop exorcism. That's
Speaker 1: what some critics are calling it, command the ones who
Speaker 1: were paid to like it. Other people are calling it
Speaker 1: a lame meta joke, a tasteless nod to the slap
Speaker 1: meant to rehab Smith's image.
Speaker 2: People are really mad about the slap. Still I've noticed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you know I didn't. I wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 2: You weren't expecting the slap.
Speaker 3: I just I can't I didn't see things like that
Speaker 3: on stage like that, I don't know. Yeah, granted it
Speaker 3: was like a weird moment, but what whatever.
Speaker 1: Man, sure a tasteless nod to the slap? How dare
Speaker 1: you cheapen that moment when he walked on stage and
Speaker 1: slapped so.
Speaker 3: Which is funny too, because like on the internet, like
Speaker 3: you know, I felt like a lot of black people
Speaker 3: were like, I mean, you know, it's kind and then
Speaker 3: there was so much pearl clutching happening from like like
Speaker 3: that's just so shameful. So you're like, okay, I see
Speaker 3: like the racism part creeping in right, But like it
Speaker 3: was just funny because most people were like, yo, he's
Speaker 3: been saying shit about Jada for so long that you
Speaker 3: could kind of see like a timeline or where it
Speaker 3: comes to that. Obviously, no one's saying like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: advocate for putting hands on people constantly out of nowhere,
Speaker 3: just on a on a dime.
Speaker 2: But it was sort of one of those things. I mean,
Speaker 2: dude's talking about his wife. I don't know, Yeah, shit
Speaker 2: like that happens. Call it a tasteless reference to the slap?
Speaker 2: Is weird? Slap is like.
Speaker 1: Is a tasteless, like tabloid moment, So.
Speaker 2: What what the fuck are you even talking about?
Speaker 4: Yeah, clearly they don't care if they're saying.
Speaker 1: They don't give a shit in the movie is getting
Speaker 1: like about the same reviews as previous Bid Boys the
Speaker 1: three Bad Boys three, which was the top grossing film
Speaker 1: for the year twenty twenty. Because it was the last
Speaker 1: movie to come out before the pandemic shut everything down,
Speaker 1: it feels weird.
Speaker 3: For a Bad Boys movie to come out in the
Speaker 3: early part of the year, Like Bad Boys has always
Speaker 3: felt like a summer movie thing.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: I think they had very extremely low expectation.
Speaker 2: I think was why they did that.
Speaker 1: They were like and they knew about the pandemic, and
Speaker 1: they had some sense with you know, not everybody obviously
Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan, they didn't tell about it because he had
Speaker 1: tenant about to come out.
Speaker 2: But we'll yeah, well yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean because yeah, I mean because like when I
Speaker 3: think about Bad Boys Too, I was so hyped because
Speaker 3: I was the summer I graduated high school and like
Speaker 3: that Boys Too, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was like, oh
Speaker 3: fuck yeah, bro, Bad Boys to the world is fucking
Speaker 3: smiling on me. I can't wait to graduate college in
Speaker 3: two thousand and seven, everything will be okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny that every Bad Boys movie, like Herald
Speaker 1: some plague upon us. Like Bad Boys two is the
Speaker 1: global financial collapse, Bad Boys three is uh COVID nineteen. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll see what we got coming to us, a second
Speaker 1: Trump presidency, another global pandemic.
Speaker 2: I don't know, we don't know.
Speaker 3: There was no the like a person in Mexico dying
Speaker 3: a bird flew and everyone was like, yeah, that was
Speaker 3: something that.
Speaker 1: I recently asked my wife about. She's not an epidemiologist.
Speaker 1: She's a medical doctor, though, and I was like, stop
Speaker 1: hearing stuff that, Like, it's not going to be one
Speaker 1: hundred years until the next global pandemic, like this last
Speaker 1: break that we had between nineteen eleven and COVID nineteen.
Speaker 1: It might be a lot sooner because of climate change.
Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, yeah, no, of course.
Speaker 3: I was like, what, see, what, where's your bedside manner?
Speaker 3: Don't fucking be don't give me the fucking truth.
Speaker 1: And I do leave her reviews about her bedside manner
Speaker 1: all the time, and she's leaving me so uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds very scary to me.
Speaker 3: The World Health Organization was like the risk of like
Speaker 3: human transmission.
Speaker 4: Is pretty low. That's what they're still saying.
Speaker 1: At the moment. Can transmiss anyways? Uh, stay safe out there, folks. Yes,
Speaker 1: the reviews look about the same. We'll see if Bad
Speaker 1: Boys four is the movie that gets the box office
Speaker 1: out of its dule drum.
Speaker 2: Will you go see it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: Will you watch it on an airplane?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Yeah, that's what I think.
Speaker 4: That's where I think this one that's out at at
Speaker 4: least for me.
Speaker 2: But I get it.
Speaker 1: That that scene in Bad Boys too where they're throwing
Speaker 1: things off of the car carrier is uh And isn't
Speaker 1: there like bodies in this throwing dead bodies like it's
Speaker 1: a car chase the yeah, yeah, yeah, car carry and
Speaker 1: then thrown dead bodies is one of the wildest things.
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not a high point in the history cinema,
Speaker 1: but it.
Speaker 2: Is a point.
Speaker 1: Things that make you go, things that you can never
Speaker 1: your brain can't forget.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1: Let's see the Academy might finally listen to us and
Speaker 1: add a stunt category to the Oscars. This is something
Speaker 1: we've been saying, you know, they need to.
Speaker 3: Said something we specifically have been clamoring for again, You're welcome,
Speaker 3: You're welcome the world.
Speaker 1: So they already just added a casting category, which I
Speaker 1: think is fun, right, Like casting is when I hear
Speaker 1: that movie podcasts like talk about and this is who
Speaker 1: they were initially going to cast and then they either
Speaker 1: because of like circumstance or just good decision making, like
Speaker 1: went with who they went with and it like changes
Speaker 1: fucking everything like that. That that's cool. I like the
Speaker 1: idea of being able to appreciate casting more. Granted, they're
Speaker 1: not going to be like and look at who we
Speaker 1: almost went with on this fucking sucked right, Like Will
Speaker 1: Smith was gonna be neo in the Matrix. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: they can't do that at the oscars. So like, the
Speaker 1: casting one is cool in theory, but I feel like
Speaker 1: as an in execution is not going to be that
Speaker 1: fun of an addition to the Academy Awards. However, stunts
Speaker 1: like where you get to see them, like do the
Speaker 1: stunts and show you like what what went into the
Speaker 1: stunts and like think about the art and physicists that
Speaker 1: goes into this shit.
Speaker 3: If we're giving awards for effects, if we're giving awards
Speaker 3: for costumes, we should be giving it for like, this
Speaker 3: is such a part of the filmmaking process that to
Speaker 3: not to ignore that it really does seem a bit odd.
Speaker 4: Like anytime you're like holy.
Speaker 3: Shit in a movie, it's not because like it like
Speaker 3: we have to honor the moments where people holy shit.
Speaker 2: And how those came together, especially like with stunts.
Speaker 1: But I think refers is also like one that we
Speaker 1: should be because they don't have like a category for
Speaker 1: best like visual like effect.
Speaker 2: Do they like best yeah? Special effect? Visual effects? Yeah,
Speaker 2: they do effects. Yeah, yeah, all right? Are you okay? Nah,
Speaker 2: not at all? Go Zillus.
Speaker 4: Really I believe when it this year, this last year?
Speaker 2: Okay yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I haven't watched the Academy Awards since the slap. It
Speaker 1: made me so upset.
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it, I get it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But yeah, like I think, what was you like this?
Speaker 3: Like when Mary Poppins like won it this? That's how
Speaker 3: long I've had that ship visual effects? Yeah, okay, hmmm,
Speaker 3: I don't believe you anyways.
Speaker 4: This is like me with the artificial flavors. Shit, I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, are you sure about that? It's
Speaker 4: right there, it's right there.
Speaker 1: And finally, uh Joe Biden went over to observe D
Speaker 1: Day in France and and Russia was.
Speaker 2: Not present because even though they were a.
Speaker 1: Big part, but some may say the big part of
Speaker 1: winning World War two, historian.
Speaker 3: A moment experts on the subject say that maybe it
Speaker 3: was the contribution of Russia that ultimately won World War Two.
Speaker 3: I live in America, and it all happened on D Day.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: When you said Biden went to go observe D Day
Speaker 3: in France, I just thought of him as being like
Speaker 3: this Nepo person who was able to dodge the drafts,
Speaker 3: like Daddy.
Speaker 4: I want to see the men land on the beach,
Speaker 4: just like ooh, that looked like it hurt.
Speaker 1: M We all set in dirigibles with our binocular with
Speaker 1: our binoculars on some sporting fighting going on over there. No,
Speaker 1: and then Biden like dunked on Russia during his speech,
Speaker 1: suggesting parallels between the invasion in Ukraine and World War Two,
Speaker 1: which I don't know. Teasing world War three may not
Speaker 1: have been the best tone for right now.
Speaker 4: A lot more too, you're bluster happening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Also weird to hear someone rant about illegal aggressions in
Speaker 1: the world with absolutely no mention of Gaza. But you
Speaker 1: know this is a campaign stop.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And in addition to his speech, he dropped a new
Speaker 1: commercial on D Day featuring interviews with veterans, uh crapping
Speaker 1: on Trump for being a draft dodger.
Speaker 3: Oh genius, genius.
Speaker 2: Of all the things.
Speaker 1: Like so Trump has like called soldiers who died in wars,
Speaker 1: like you know, just like ship shipped on them, shot
Speaker 1: on their families, like.
Speaker 2: Made like I wouldn't have gotten captured. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like you've done so much bad ship with regards
Speaker 1: to the military that going with like draft dodger just
Speaker 1: feels like we're matt like And granted he you know,
Speaker 1: got out of the draft purely due to his wealth
Speaker 1: and privilege.
Speaker 2: But it was Vietnam. Yeah, exactly like Vietnam draft dodgers,
Speaker 2: right right right.
Speaker 3: It is a weird take, but also just like weirder
Speaker 3: in the larger context because veterans are always used as
Speaker 3: this like political cudgel where but neither party gives a
Speaker 3: fuck about them. They just think it's this thing you have, like,
Speaker 3: especially since nine to eleven, like evoking the troops and
Speaker 3: shit feels like, oh man, it feels good to do
Speaker 3: now do we give a fuck about the condition like
Speaker 3: these people are in when we've used them in our
Speaker 3: wars of empire and resources. No, So, like it's weird
Speaker 3: to be like, do you like you politically? These people
Speaker 3: aren't even respected and just used as like a prop
Speaker 3: so then to like use it to attack another person,
Speaker 3: it's like, but none, none of y'all give a fuck
Speaker 3: about it. So who is this supposed to move? And
Speaker 3: the veterans that support Trump, they don't give a fuck
Speaker 3: that he was disrespecting like gold Star families and all
Speaker 3: that kind of shit. So it's just like, okay, man, yeah,
Speaker 3: you spent a lot of money talking to some like
Speaker 3: older dudes.
Speaker 2: You're talking about the war, right, Yeah?
Speaker 4: Is this like a savvy political move?
Speaker 2: I honestly don't think so. But god, as I said, yeah, look.
Speaker 4: Trying to be the goat of losing elections, I guess,
Speaker 4: so sure, let's try it out.
Speaker 2: Let's try it out.
Speaker 3: Let's try it out, and like, no, maybe like do
Speaker 3: something about veteran care too as president.
Speaker 2: That would be cool. Hey what about that?
Speaker 3: Like, oh man, you know, Donald Trump, he didn't have
