Speaker 1: that's if y'all don't believe in God yet. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure that was a pretty good argument as to why
Speaker 1: you should go to church this Sunday, not just because
Speaker 1: it's Easter, not just because you should be asking for
Speaker 1: a redemption. Anyway. This is still a production of iHeartRadio,

Speaker 1: opened up, and we'll tell you ten years ago. Miles.
Speaker 1: He did not have he did not have a cent
Speaker 1: to his name, and when he walked into that movie
Speaker 1: theater away, my eyes fell out my head. I did
Speaker 1: the whole panic thing. I was like, you know, like
Speaker 1: when you put your credit card down, like you know
Speaker 1: when you trul and yeah exactly, and you know like
Speaker 1: you're kind of doing the quick math in your head.
Speaker 1: I'm like with tax I think I might be a
Speaker 1: little snake day. Yeah, anyway, shout out. I still seldom
Speaker 1: do I go because I'm like, I think I have
Speaker 1: that like that that like snap, I don't know that
Speaker 1: feeling of been like oh shit. So when I need
Speaker 1: to get my girl real sloshy. When she was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I've had a bad day week and I
Speaker 1: need to decompress, I'm like, we're going to I pick,
Speaker 1: We're about to get stupid drunk and were whatever super

Speaker 1: look at hot guys, it will be It's a great
Speaker 1: way to he compressed, and then we can eat overpriced
Speaker 1: truffle fries that come out a wire basket. That's what
Speaker 1: we do. Oh, let's move on to introduce our next guest,
Speaker 1: because this is what. I haven't seen this man in
Speaker 1: a minute, although I'm pretty sure I saw him at
Speaker 1: a birthday party a couple of weeks ago and I
Speaker 1: had to ask Lyra. I was like, is that Nick
Speaker 1: Vaterad over there? And It's like, yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: that is anyway, I think I already I already told
Speaker 1: you who it is. Please welcome to the microphone. A
Speaker 1: hilarious stand up comedian just overall fantastic person. Uh and
Speaker 1: also you might catch his new special on YouTube called
Speaker 1: for amusement Only. Please welcome mister Nick Vatera. Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1: It's it's so good to be here. And I tell
Speaker 1: you what, this is the fastest I've ever gotten here,
Speaker 1: thanks to National don't walk around Stuff Day. I just
Speaker 1: what is it I'm always walking through stuff? Yeah? Whatever,
Speaker 1: So now I'm going around everything, and I tell you
Speaker 1: you what, my world is completely changed. I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I'm gonna get in less accidents now, I
Speaker 1: think less altercations on the sidewalk. It's I'm now that
Speaker 1: you said it, I'm like, what the fuck did I
Speaker 1: even say out loud? National walk around things Day? And
Speaker 1: even as I read about it, no one even fucking
Speaker 1: knows it just said it's a holiday open to interpretation.
Speaker 1: Very little information is available regarding this celebration. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: really love that for you. Yeah, news update. If you
Speaker 1: just give Miles something to read, he'll say it and oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm Ron Burgundy in it. I'm Ron Burgundy the fuck
Speaker 1: out of this place right now. But it one says
Speaker 1: it's figuratively. Figuratively, one would walk around avoiding certain problems
Speaker 1: or potential problems. One would also walk around avoiding arguments,
Speaker 1: certain situations, or unwanted or uncomfortable conversations. This sounds like,
Speaker 1: is this like introvert Day and like conflict avoidant Day?
Speaker 1: It does seem to like celebrate. I feel like the
Speaker 1: Internet has like said everything there is to say. Yea,
Speaker 1: So now what it does is it finds a thing,
Speaker 1: a different thing to say, and it acts like it's
Speaker 1: some new way to approach things, you know, right right
Speaker 1: instead of getting a divorce, just try The new trend
Speaker 1: now is to get a new identity, and they actually
Speaker 1: like a new alternative cool way to handle problems, right,
Speaker 1: and you're like, hold on, as I read this listical Basically,
Speaker 1: what they're saying is, I'm I'm I'm faking my own
Speaker 1: death to get around telling my partner that I want
Speaker 1: a divorce. It's like, exactly, people, it's a new way.
Speaker 1: You know, Yes, you should have the freedom, you know,
Speaker 1: them to have a new identity. It'll get them thinking
Speaker 1: where in that when they're at the police, at the
Speaker 1: police station, finding out a missing person's report, then being
Speaker 1: served with divorce papers, you know what I mean, Different
Speaker 1: kinds of thoughts go through your head. But anyway, Nick,
Speaker 1: have you been man, I've been good. Yes, but going
Speaker 1: to you know parties again. You know Adam Conover's birthday
Speaker 1: it was yeah, and that wash I haven't. Yes, I
Speaker 1: feel like, I know, like the pandemic has been over
Speaker 1: for a while. I still feel like I'm I mean
Speaker 1: it's over. It's over in the sense that like the
Speaker 1: main line out of like Joe Biden, it was like
Speaker 1: it's over because COVID doesn't exist, and then cut to
Speaker 1: You're like, it's still a pandemic, but yeah, for Landlord reasons,
Speaker 1: the pandemic is over. Yeah, sure, yeah you can. I
Speaker 1: just got my new uh my first rent increase week.
Speaker 1: That's how I knew it was over. That was that
Speaker 1: was the time stamped moment for me. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: also when the gas company hit like la with that
Speaker 1: wacky ass bill at the end of last year, that's
Speaker 1: when they were like, Okay, you know what, we're turning
Speaker 1: it the fuck up on the over. I could not
Speaker 1: believe what the gas bill that looks like your electric bill.
Speaker 1: A confusing time for all that Mercedes Cardinal. Yeah, fuck
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, like I was joking, but I
Speaker 1: told the Villain Department, I say, you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: come get this shit like at my fucking house because
Speaker 1: I will have Old Bloom waiting for you. And if
Speaker 1: you don't know who that is, look up the You're
Speaker 1: rubing Gods because that's the one for war. Anyway, I've
Speaker 1: been wearing my gas bill around my neck on a
Speaker 1: chain just to kind of show off my money laminated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like there you go, Like you remember Joy Luck
Speaker 1: Club in that movie where like the little girl gets
Speaker 1: on the cover of Newsweek and the moms walking with
Speaker 1: the ship right in front of her so proud, Like
Speaker 1: this is my baby on Newsweek, You're like, this is
Speaker 1: my gas bill, look at the bottom. Paine, fuck out
Speaker 1: of here. All right, well, Nick, we are going to
Speaker 1: get to know you a little bit better, but first
Speaker 1: let's give people a little quick preview what we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about. Still got to talk about this Trump indictment.
Speaker 1: You know, today as you hear this recording, if he
Speaker 1: is not on the run, mister Donald J. Trump should
Speaker 1: be marching his little behind to the courthouse in Manhattan
Speaker 1: to get arraigned and do all that. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: about what has happened since the indictment was announced and
Speaker 1: everything in between, and also just check check in on
Speaker 1: the state of you know, protests and things like that,
Speaker 1: because that has been a huge thing that he has
Speaker 1: been screaming about on truth social and just see at
Speaker 1: least how many people are there as of this recording.
Speaker 1: Then we'll check in with Ron de Santis, who's you know,
Speaker 1: just he's kind of he's not doing too good based
Speaker 1: on some of the polling and just some of the
Speaker 1: murmurs out of his office in regards to, you know,
Speaker 1: just generally how his book tour is going, because apparently
Speaker 1: it's not going that great so well, well we'll check
Speaker 1: in with that and a few other things. But first
Speaker 1: Nick gotta ask you, as a guest on this show,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history that's revealing something
Speaker 1: about who you are, what you're into right now? Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: you know what. The first thing that came to mind
Speaker 1: was that, do you know you can't drive from you
Speaker 1: know you can't drive you know, not been watching it,
Speaker 1: but you gotta use your turn. You get a license
Speaker 1: to turn, Yeah, to use your hands And they're not
Speaker 1: all tests. It has say Tesla on it his hands free,
Speaker 1: let go and let's I would say that's funny. It's
Speaker 1: a video of like, here's somebody sleeping while driving. Here's
Speaker 1: the worst part. It was a Ford Deel stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you can't drive from North America down to Argentina.
Speaker 1: I just found this out and I was looking at
Speaker 1: my search history, said that was a thing I just
Speaker 1: looked up. There's a h there is a region at
Speaker 1: like the smallest skinniest part that connects like I think
Speaker 1: maybe like Columbia to Ecuador maybe, and there's just no
Speaker 1: road there. I think there's something called the interstate of America.
Speaker 1: Is that just kind of stops and it gets too
Speaker 1: hilly and too junglely and everything. I was just like,
Speaker 1: I never I never knew that. I just assumed you
Speaker 1: could drive everywhere, Yeah, because I know people that have
Speaker 1: driven like all the way up here from like Central
Speaker 1: America and things like that, and I can. But you're
Speaker 1: saying that there there just comes a point where you're
Speaker 1: like a man, like, what would you do, Like there's
Speaker 1: just no travel at that point, Like, I guess there
Speaker 1: has to be a fairy situation, I would assume, but
Speaker 1: it's there's no road anymore. Like, No, they were because
Speaker 1: I was watching some video of like some of the
Speaker 1: migrants you know, like that come from deep South America,
Speaker 1: and they say that when they get to that point,
Speaker 1: there's no road for them to even like walk alongside.
Speaker 1: They have to carry all their crap across like these
Speaker 1: rivers and these hills, and it's just like this really dangerous.
Speaker 1: It's too dangerous for workers to even work there because
Speaker 1: they get you know, bitten with mosquitos and the heat
Speaker 1: and then just like dangerous for them. So everyone just like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, figure it out, fly down there. Maybe
Speaker 1: they don't want to connect with each other. There's some
Speaker 1: probably there's some states that are in America that probably
Speaker 1: would rather if Florida couldn't connect to them, you know,
Speaker 1: like but no knock on Orlando. Okay, but you know,
Speaker 1: I just thought that was interesting, and then I don't
Speaker 1: know what's For some reason, the first thing that pops
Speaker 1: into my head is just like someday someone's gonna tell
Speaker 1: me they drove all the way down to Argentina. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be able to call them out on it. I
Speaker 1: don't know why that's the all my information I get
Speaker 1: is to call somebody out on it that wait wait,
Speaker 1: so wait, yeah, what was the like your mental path
Speaker 1: to be like hold on to the bottom of this,
Speaker 1: Like I've been trying to forget what's going on with
Speaker 1: South America for a while. I don't know. I kind
Speaker 1: of don't know why we don't help them out more
Speaker 1: as much as we help, like other countries help. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we helped ourselves to like them, but yeah, we helped
Speaker 1: ourselves to like fruit, you know what I mean, where
Speaker 1: like Dole came in like you need help, yeah, and
Speaker 1: that we'll like we'll fuck up anybody who's talking about
Speaker 1: sharing the profits of your fucking fra. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it even goes like I mean, it's that
Speaker 1: it's even like even even earlier than that, they just
Speaker 1: like Europeans came in and just like just stole all
Speaker 1: their wealth and then tore down They're like, you know,
Speaker 1: they're structures of you know, these like massive civilizations. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's just they've been kind of like screwed ever since.
Speaker 1: And I'm just sort of, you know, it just feels
Speaker 1: like these people down there's a lot of people down
Speaker 1: there that need help. That's why they're like, you taking
Speaker 1: That's where they're taking the chance across these like places
Speaker 1: with no roads that that that nobody wants to. Civilizition
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to. And it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just been kind of fascinated that I don't hear
Speaker 1: this discussed more about, well how it got to be
Speaker 1: to that point. It's, well, it's the same way why
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't want kids learning about the
Speaker 1: civil rights movement and things like that. It's like if
Speaker 1: they knew what we fucking did, they'd be like fucked
Speaker 1: up nightmare. So better than money, do you racialize the
Speaker 1: Rosa Park story? For God's sake? So the kids figure
Speaker 1: it out, which is their solution. Much in the same way,
Speaker 1: like for all this hand ringing about MS thirteen, it's like,
Speaker 1: why don't you read a fucking article about the US
Speaker 1: interventions in El Salvador and you understand that we're the
Speaker 1: reason there's MS thirteen And they're like, whoa, the boomerang
Speaker 1: has come back. But hey, that's for another show. Check
Speaker 1: out Behind the Bastards, where you know Robert will be
Speaker 1: talking about all that kind of stuff. It's a great
Speaker 1: episode of money. Yeah are you did you do one
Speaker 1: of them? Yeah? Yeah, we talked about US militarization in
Speaker 1: Central America War two. Great. Yeah, google School of the
Speaker 1: Americas and you'll realize we had a really cool way
Speaker 1: to train people up on being like, oh yeah, y'all
Speaker 1: want to learn how to murder people that are like
Speaker 1: we should share the money? Yeah, have a TV. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like they're socialist, man. This is how we're fighting
Speaker 1: the Cold War with this ship. Anyway, Yeah, moving on, Nick,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated chat GPT? I
Speaker 1: just think it's incredibly overrated. I think it's like, I
Speaker 1: understand AI is going to get to this one point,
Speaker 1: but right now, Chat GPT basically feels like like like
Speaker 1: a mixture of Google and Carlos Mencia, you know it
Speaker 1: Basically it feels like you're basically googling everything, and then
Speaker 1: it's like Carlos Mencia is stealing material it's finding around
Speaker 1: the Internet and passing it along as its own, right,
Speaker 1: you know, because it feels like it's basically doing the
Speaker 1: sentence construction of Gmail, you know, of the predictive text
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, and it's just taking
Speaker 1: this search stuff that you always did and figuring out
Speaker 1: a way to sort of like put it in like
Speaker 1: speaking terms. But it's like it's not like what I've
Speaker 1: tried to get it to like write a sketch or
Speaker 1: write a joke or write a story or a movie.
Speaker 1: It's all I can tell. It's lifting from other people's
Speaker 1: like sort of right intellectual property basically, yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: because it's using the existing content that's out there to
Speaker 1: inform like because that's the same reason right now a
Speaker 1: lot of people, there's a lot of artists, and like
Speaker 1: Getty is suing one of the visual AI like image creators,
Speaker 1: because again they're like I can see the photo that
Speaker 1: they're using that I own to even be the background
Speaker 1: for this Mickey Mouse like hitting the fucking crack pipe
Speaker 1: in front of a Walmart AI think make you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder when they when they talk about slowing everything
Speaker 1: down that you know, when Musk is doing this pause
Speaker 1: with these other sort of AI experts, I always get
Speaker 1: a bit suspicious because I've seen this movie before, because
Speaker 1: everyone else pauses while they go hard evil robots and
Speaker 1: then they have evil robots and we don't have any
Speaker 1: because we paused ours. And like, the one part I
Speaker 1: feel okay about that is the amount of other people
Speaker 1: that are pretty seminal in the AI field, not just
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, that have been like they're like, these are
Speaker 1: real fucking questions, like we have to be asking with
Speaker 1: AI and like if this is already passing the bar
Speaker 1: and stuff. We were joking last episode. We're like, wait
Speaker 1: till some dude pulls up in court and uses chat
Speaker 1: GPT to represent themselves in fucking court because they're like,
Speaker 1: I might be able to might be able to get
Speaker 1: through a whole trial with this thing, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, And that's and they're doing like the legal
Speaker 1: work and the it's weird when they're like yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of concerns that taking them taking over jobs.
Speaker 1: There is sometimes when I'm like writing comedy and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: like like because everyone explains AI as algorithms, which is
Speaker 1: like a kind of a vague term. But I think
Speaker 1: it's mostly like if then statements you know and so
Speaker 1: and and it's learning because it's like if most people
Speaker 1: are happy with this answer, then this is the correct answer.
Speaker 1: If most people say this is not the correct answer,
Speaker 1: then it learns that that's not the best answer that
Speaker 1: finds a different one. But there is like sometimes comedy
Speaker 1: when you're like if Donald Trump then joke about orange face, Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like it could figure out comedy that way.
Speaker 1: It's had some Yeah, it's it can do well with
Speaker 1: some like word pun type punchlines. I've seen like people
Speaker 1: like construct jokes like that, But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, like I don't, I don't quite see it
Speaker 1: achieving the heights of comedy, although it is helping people
Speaker 1: like get stuff out there for like sales pitches and
Speaker 1: other things like that are more basic that maybe require
Speaker 1: less stylish. It's a great tool for brainstorming, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. If you're like gosh, I don't have
Speaker 1: any ideas or I'm stuck in none of these feel right.
Speaker 1: You can input whatever it is you're working on, and
Speaker 1: they'll spit out a bunch of is that you can
Speaker 1: maybe like riff off of them, build off of. But
Speaker 1: as far as like constructing an actual, you know, script
Speaker 1: that makes sense, that's going to actually pull on your heartstrings,
Speaker 1: that is actually connecting to the human experience, it's just
Speaker 1: not capable and it probably never will be. I mean,
Speaker 1: by chat what GPT what five just came out? Right?
Speaker 1: Is that the newest one? Or is it four? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's the one where they said, let's pause after this one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then by the time it hits like six or
Speaker 1: it has like you know, uh whatever, the in form
Speaker 1: of intelligence that all the experts are like, that's when
Speaker 1: it's gonna get messy. Whatever, I'll be it. I'll just
Speaker 1: say this. It's not taking my job because I can
Speaker 1: barely speak incoherent sentences. Fuck you algorithms, that's all we
Speaker 1: can do. Um what something you think is underrated? Underrated?
Speaker 1: I would say underrated being unverified on Twitter? Oh go on,
Speaker 1: oh god, what a dream? I mean you know what
Speaker 1: I this is how I kind of feel like everything
Speaker 1: right now. It feels when all these like like verified,
Speaker 1: blue check part people are like arguing, and I feel
Speaker 1: like the rest of us unverified are like outside of
Speaker 1: this baseball stadium looking in through a hole in the
Speaker 1: fence and watching everybody else. Like I feel like in
Speaker 1: all of these like elitists, you know, verified on Oh no,
Speaker 1: how all my followers know it's me? Right? How will
Speaker 1: my fans distinguish me from mimics out there? It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe because you have one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: followers and they keep tweeting about bitcoin, you know, like
Speaker 1: I think it's I don't know, how will they know
Speaker 1: the White House from the Wheal White House. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: one has Barack Obama following it and the other one
Speaker 1: keeps tweeting Joe Biden goes peepy and his pants. I
Speaker 1: think you can kind of tell think you vastly over
Speaker 1: or maybe underestimate the willingness people are to like double
Speaker 1: check where this is coming from, because like I I agree,
Speaker 1: I think you're right in that being unverified allows you
Speaker 1: to enjoy Twitter in a way where you remember when
Speaker 1: Twitter was fun. It was to go in there just
Speaker 1: rip on people and then they would disappear, and like
Speaker 1: nobody's scrolling through your timeline, like what did you say
Speaker 1: two years ago? No, it's instantly just about that moment
Speaker 1: and then it was over and it was great. And
Speaker 1: when you become verified, you know, and especially if you're
Speaker 1: like like I agree, nobody people will know if it's
Speaker 1: me or not. Most likely, like you know, the thirty
Speaker 1: thousand people that follow me or whatever, like they see
Speaker 1: the name Hi. But so it's fine, Like for me,
Speaker 1: I don't, like, I don't care if I lose the
Speaker 1: check mark. It was great when I was freelancing and
Speaker 1: had no money because it got me a lot of gigs.
Speaker 1: But for like people that are actually famous, like I
Speaker 1: think I think you guys reported on here, but a
Speaker 1: while ago, like the check mark started because people were
Speaker 1: using celebrity names to like groom children. You're like, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm your favorite celebrity from this TV show. We should
Speaker 1: go hang out. I think you're like really cool, like
Speaker 1: let's talk. Are you in school right now? Like creepy stuff,
Speaker 1: and so it was like kind of essential for really
Speaker 1: really famous people would be like, no, this is my
Speaker 1: actual account, I'm not trying to contact your child, right,
Speaker 1: but I do miss just being anonymous on Twitter. I
Speaker 1: can't say things anymore. People know where I work. It's fine.
Speaker 1: Every day I'm like, do I make a burner so
Speaker 1: people can realize we think about it all the time, spice.
Speaker 1: They don't know. I came from the gutters of the
Speaker 1: AOL chat rooms when it was truly like circular firing squads,
Speaker 1: like y'all don't fucking know, but you know, with therapy,
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I don't need to prove
Speaker 1: myself with verbal verbal sparring anymore. We're gonna say, Nick,
Speaker 1: I think you could have to me like there's I've
Speaker 1: always sort of had an issue with the blue check
Speaker 1: mark system because it feels like a classic system, you know,
Speaker 1: it basically says that some people are more important than
Speaker 1: other people. And like one part of social media that's
Speaker 1: really bad or dangerous that it makes people feel bad
Speaker 1: about themselves. And so any component that makes people like
Speaker 1: walk away and feel bad about themselves, like if somebody
Speaker 1: like if somebody has a tweet that goes viral, all right,
Speaker 1: and they're they're blue check verified, people were more inclined
Speaker 1: to like check out this person. Oh this is somebody
Speaker 1: of worth. Okay, But if there's no check mark, then
Speaker 1: this person doesn't matter. This Parson, this person just part
Speaker 1: of this giant glob of unimportant people that it's just
Speaker 1: their thoughts and ideas are not important enough to see
Speaker 1: who they are as individuals, and it's just for me
Speaker 1: to sort of like absorb and take from them and
Speaker 1: not give anything back at all. I mean, what I
Speaker 1: think they should have is a verified Everyone should be verified.
Speaker 1: You know, you should verify the famous people so they
Speaker 1: know that they're who's being interactive. But also, like everyone,
Speaker 1: this would like crack down on misinformation. It would crack
Speaker 1: down on hate and division. If you could have culpability
Speaker 1: for things that you say, and then you should also
Speaker 1: have a mandatory burner account so that you can go
Speaker 1: out there and say the stupid crap that you want
Speaker 1: to say and they're a fake theme and and get
Speaker 1: it off here out of your system. And there should
Speaker 1: be like a column on Twitter for just to go
Speaker 1: and just accounts. Yeah, of social media, everybody is anonymous.
Speaker 1: No photos, don't. Part of the rules are don't talk
Speaker 1: about who you are, that's not an important Just share
Speaker 1: your thoughts who you are. Well, Nick, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: I think you're important, blue check mark or not. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I don't think for a second
Speaker 1: class citizen. And you can join me and the other
Speaker 1: second class citizens down here in the unverified steerage class
Speaker 1: of the Titanic we call Twitter. But I guess, well,
Speaker 1: we're having more fun down here. Hell yeah, I just
Speaker 1: want my mom to like, my mom won't believe it's me,
Speaker 1: and I just need to Yeah right, oh man, Worth, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess Worth, you know, maybe, I guess
Speaker 1: the only way like I would ever use like in
Speaker 1: a verified account is like if I got asked to
Speaker 1: use like take Nataro's account or something and then tweet
Speaker 1: from there. But that would be amazing that that hasn't.
Speaker 1: And yeah, all right, well let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be right back to talk. Just what's
Speaker 1: going on with all this indictment crap, guys. We'll find
Speaker 1: out right after this and we're back. So is Donald
Speaker 1: Trump in his grifting ways? Because I gotta say this
Speaker 1: right when he announced that he was like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get arrested on Tuesday a few weeks ago. This dude
Speaker 1: made a half million dollars a day in the first
Speaker 1: three days. And you know how much he made he
Speaker 1: made one I guess three times half a million equals
Speaker 1: one point five. But sir, this time, when the indictment
Speaker 1: actually came through and he was like, oh man, like
Speaker 1: you know, he signed out a fundraising email like the
Speaker 1: second the like the indictment came down. You know how
Speaker 1: much money he made in the first twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: Four million dollars in twenty four hours. So it pays
Speaker 1: to be a victim, no, yea, when you have yeah,
Speaker 1: commodified victimhood like Trump has, it's a lot of the
Speaker 1: thing because most of those donations are probably twenty bucks,
Speaker 1: five dollars fifteen, you know what I mean. I doubt
Speaker 1: that two mini millionaires are throwing chunks are changed in
Speaker 1: his direction anymore. That money is just never it's gonna
Speaker 1: be in the toilet, especially with the way it was worded.
Speaker 1: He was like, please, you're gonna do like, aren't you
Speaker 1: a fucking patriot? You fucking lied to me last time, motherfucker, please,
Speaker 1: and now's the time. But yeah, it I mean enough people,
Speaker 1: I think we're genuinely surprised because we played on yesterday's
Speaker 1: episode the sound that Fox News made when they announced
Speaker 1: he was indicted. They gasped that it was funny, like
Speaker 1: the fucking like there was like a like a like
Speaker 1: a break, like a break in the air lock of
Speaker 1: like a spaceship. But he was assassinated the gas where
Speaker 1: they let out, Yeah, they were like, this is the end,
Speaker 1: and then get him? Can they come get us? Where's
Speaker 1: our legal team? All? I know? So later today, because
Speaker 1: this is Tuesday as you're listening to this, he is
Speaker 1: scheduled to appear in court for his arraignment, and if
Speaker 1: things go as expected, he'll be there. He'll maybe get
Speaker 1: his munk shot taken. We don't know. They said that
Speaker 1: Mike's kind of up in the air, but he'll get fingerprinted,
Speaker 1: et cetera. This time and the other. But then he
Speaker 1: said he's going to give a fucking press conference right off.
Speaker 1: Didn't the Joker do this? And the original Batman he
Speaker 1: like gave up press conference after That's what I'm picturing, right,
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholson up there? Yeah, well, yeah, give me those
Speaker 1: nineteen thirties banners for sure. I want like Didny Hall
Speaker 1: Deckton giant banners, A citizen King style. Yeah right, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: but no prince this time. I mean, yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: it would probably look more like in Batman Returns when
Speaker 1: Cobblepot was running with what was Christopher Walkins character and
Speaker 1: Batman Returns because that had that very dark like black
Speaker 1: and white, big banners sort of back in the day
Speaker 1: sort of politics vibe. Anyway, so he's going to be
Speaker 1: giving a press. This is where ship could potentially get
Speaker 1: interesting or not, because the biggest thing here is we've
Speaker 1: seen is when you're on trial, you just can't go
Speaker 1: out there and fucking incite violence against the judge or
Speaker 1: try and intimidate would be jurors. Typically you'll be under
Speaker 1: a gag order, so you have to keep your mouth shut,
Speaker 1: you know, to prevent any kind of tampering of that.
Speaker 1: We can't do it, Miles. You know, he's it's so
Speaker 1: funny because you no, like he literally doesn't know how
Speaker 1: this has been his playbook locked in for the past
Speaker 1: with seven eight years since he started his presidential run,
Speaker 1: and so it makes sense that he was like he
Speaker 1: was like, oh, someone, let us know it's coming. Let
Speaker 1: me get my money up and get these lawyers aid
Speaker 1: so they can try to keep my ass out of jail.
Speaker 1: But there's no way he's not going to rise to
Speaker 1: them like he's gonna send off his little sweets. I
Speaker 1: know that the guy who, um is it a arraigned
Speaker 1: of God, I've done our court system all enough. But
Speaker 1: I know he's got security already on him, like twenty
Speaker 1: four seven, going back and forth. He's gonna do what
Speaker 1: he always does. He's and he's gonna get his ass
Speaker 1: in jail. I think that's that's what's weird though, Right, Okay,
Speaker 1: a normal person violates a gag order, and yeah, you
Speaker 1: can be found in contempt and you could go to jail.
Speaker 1: But I think he is again, he's so used to
Speaker 1: the fucking law not applying that a lot of people
Speaker 1: are just sort of saying like, I don't know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Like they said, in a normal case someone
Speaker 1: like this, they would be like they'll probably they'll be
Speaker 1: hit with a gag order like at the arrangement. But
Speaker 1: they have a feeling a lot of legal analysts feel
Speaker 1: like sound they suspect that the judge, Juan Marshaun, he
Speaker 1: is probably going to maybe go like not hit him
Speaker 1: with the gag order, warn him be like, yo, don't
Speaker 1: fuck don't fuck around, and then potentially progressively ramp things up.
Speaker 1: But I feel like that's that that may be already
Speaker 1: like a mistake to begin with it, because I think
Speaker 1: either way he's gonna fucking talk and then test the
Speaker 1: very limits of being like, oh, so, what are you
Speaker 1: gonna put me in jail for contemptive court and then
Speaker 1: like yes, you think they would, But we're so reluctant
Speaker 1: as like onlookers to believe that can have or at
Speaker 1: least I think people who listen to the show and
Speaker 1: us who talk about all the time, we're like, I
Speaker 1: don't know that's gonna work. There's like, what three potential
Speaker 1: cases out for him. There's the Marloggy thing, yeah, that
Speaker 1: that are that are not civil because he has the
Speaker 1: Eging Carroll suit and the two hundred fifty million dollar
Speaker 1: fraud case that start in April and October respective yeah,
Speaker 1: and then there's a possible like federal wine coming up
Speaker 1: that's not you know, they're still building the case with
Speaker 1: a special counsel. Yeah, so it'll it'll be interesting because
Speaker 1: what's seeming to me, it's like, Okay, people are coming
Speaker 1: to extract their pound of flesh and it's I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously there has to be u because you don't want
Speaker 1: you have to be you have to be somewhat careful
Speaker 1: because January six, so we know things can get crazy.
Speaker 1: And his supporters are in this weird space of being
Speaker 1: very pro cop until they're confronted with a cop who
Speaker 1: disagrees with them, and which he had become very confused'
Speaker 1: like we're with you, what's happening? Why are you acting
Speaker 1: like this? We have to kill you. Obviously, It'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens when they come face to face,
Speaker 1: especially in Garcetti's New York. He's so so pro cop.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, guard. We ain't in LA. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Eric Adam Adams saying, Eric Adams super pro cop. I'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what happens. Yeah, she's able to
Speaker 1: get if Trump's able to get a speech out, what
Speaker 1: that will look like for his followers, for the cops.
Speaker 1: And then of course we're the legal system. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like you know we saw when Roger Stone
Speaker 1: in his TRILD. This dude was sharing picks of like
Speaker 1: the judge that was presiding over his trial with literal
Speaker 1: fucking cross hairs on her head. Yeah, and like he
Speaker 1: got hit with a gag or and I'm like, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like I feel like Trump has
Speaker 1: a little more sadistic flare than that, which is interesting. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't do press conferences. He does sets. He's like
Speaker 1: a standard comedian where he's like, by the way, after
Speaker 1: I get arrested, I want to do a set. I
Speaker 1: want to do I want to do some time outside
Speaker 1: of the courthouse, and I'll do I'll do a loose
Speaker 1: forty five right, and and then he'll do all his
Speaker 1: bits and try to like, you know, get some more
Speaker 1: political you know, sort of will you have new material though, Nick?
Speaker 1: Will he have new material? Because you know he's gonna
Speaker 1: do the hits. He's gonna say weaponized, weaponized legal system.
Speaker 1: So he's never been more indicted than me, right exactly.
Speaker 1: It's Here's the weird thing about this is that, so
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's always like it's political, this is a
Speaker 1: political thing, And it's like, I wish it was political
Speaker 1: because if it was political, then with all these like
Speaker 1: different for lawsuits, they would coordinate with each other and
Speaker 1: they would do Georgia first. Because George is like the
Speaker 1: biggest issue because that's like fundamentally you know, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's like fucking with the with the election and m
Speaker 1: and comen. But Cohen went to jail or he got
Speaker 1: three years for this, yeah, for this, and then Trump
Speaker 1: was the guy who did this. It's it's it's like
Speaker 1: Cohen like drove the getaway car, but Trump robbed the bank,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, oh, you can't, like, you know, arrest
Speaker 1: the guy robbed the bank. And I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people like know that this is bad, and people
Speaker 1: that support him know that he did technically break a law,
Speaker 1: but it's it's almost like your buddy, Yeah, Like if
Speaker 1: you're in a bar and your buddy's in a bar
Speaker 1: fight and you your first instinct is like, it's probably
Speaker 1: my buddy's fault, but I have to, like I have
Speaker 1: to go and defend him anyway. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: what a lot of Trump supporters they're just like, we
Speaker 1: know he's wrong, we know he broke the law, but
Speaker 1: we like this idea that that that we're being you know,
Speaker 1: singled out and we're being oppressed in some way, and
Speaker 1: said we're gonna and he'll bring you know, white dominance back.
Speaker 1: But he yeah, but I get it. He is my
Speaker 1: sloppy homeboy. That does get me caught up in a
Speaker 1: lot of shit because I blindly follow him into every
Speaker 1: club where he's asking somebody if they're talk and then
Speaker 1: you're like, oh no, no, nope, nope, and you're like
Speaker 1: I think he was man like with like Clint Steve,
Speaker 1: and you're like, fuck, this is all going to be
Speaker 1: all bad for us. But yeah, it is interesting to
Speaker 1: see him in this version of like legal jeopardy because
Speaker 1: before when he was president, he clearly was like on
Speaker 1: top of how to the added benefit of like white
Speaker 1: supremacy and him being very privileged and powerful he was
Speaker 1: the president, and now he's a citizen and like still
Speaker 1: trying to work within those confines. It is going to
Speaker 1: be interesting because I wonder if it's like before, I
Speaker 1: always liking like people that are this privilege, like having
Speaker 1: the fucking star and Mario brothers, like you could fucking
Speaker 1: doesn't fuck matter, bro, Like come at me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna happen. But now, Hannah, my man has no
Speaker 1: fucking star and he's walking into a courthouse, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how much he will if he realizes he's
Speaker 1: not no longer flashing multi colors with a new song playing, yes,
Speaker 1: or if he is gonna then if it would be
Speaker 1: funny just like yo, I have no fucking time gag orders,
Speaker 1: say some shit, I'm gonna you with contempt, and then
Speaker 1: you will be in jail. It's wild, though, because like, Okay,
Speaker 1: two things are happening, right. So one thing is like
Speaker 1: America is looking and they're like, so does our legal
Speaker 1: system work at all? Yeah? Like at all? Because it's blatant,
Speaker 1: it's very in our faces. We're all pretty sure we
Speaker 1: have the majority of the facts necessary to be like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: that guy is guilty as hell. So that'll be interesting
Speaker 1: to see how that plays out. But then I'm also
Speaker 1: interested to see, like if his whole rhetoric is I'm
Speaker 1: a rebel weeding our nation back to you know, a
Speaker 1: prosperous place, which is, you know, the ideals, the ideology
Speaker 1: that a lot of his followers have been martyrdom. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not death, but jail time to them might as
Speaker 1: well be death. Like I really feel like this is
Speaker 1: could potentially be the star, right, Like, the thing that
Speaker 1: gives him all of that superpower right back is the
Speaker 1: idea that oh no, they're they're gonna slaughter our shavior
Speaker 1: and we really need to do something about that more
Speaker 1: drastic than last time, because clearly that didn't work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it looks like World War Z with like all
Speaker 1: his followers like storming the fucking courthouse. I mean, it
Speaker 1: hasn't quite it's not quite there. Based on a lot
Speaker 1: of people who are monitoring a lot of extremism online,
Speaker 1: they're like, I mean, it ain't get it doesn't look
Speaker 1: like anything that happened right now because the conversation hasn't
Speaker 1: ramped up quite in the same way did in they'll
Speaker 1: build up to January sixth, but hey, I could be
Speaker 1: wrong because this place though, it's early days. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: we will see where he ends up. But yeah, who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe has an extra little Mario star his pocket. He
Speaker 1: just wolf down at his arraignment and then be like, sorry,
Speaker 1: you gotta go everything you say, it doesn't matter, But
Speaker 1: let's do check in with the State of New York City,
Speaker 1: because you know, there's been a lot of talk that
Speaker 1: like in uniform, like everybody who is like available to
Speaker 1: be on duty will be on duty on Tuesday today
Speaker 1: for Trump's arraignment. There aren't many mass protests on like Saturday,
Speaker 1: there was like one sad guy outside of the Trump
Speaker 1: Tower with like a MAGA hat on and he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm here man, like this is not recognized legal system.
Speaker 1: George Soro. It was like, are you guys all just
Speaker 1: saying this in the same order? All right? Fine? Um,
Speaker 1: But there have been like little things skirmishes here and there,
Speaker 1: like apparently in Orange County there was like forty MAGA
Speaker 1: people that got into some shit with like two protesters,
Speaker 1: like or with a few protesters. Two people got hit
Speaker 1: in the heads with skateboards. I'm feeling the skateboards were
Speaker 1: not being brought by the MAGA people, don't. I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see them as a skateboarding kind
Speaker 1: And then there have been like some bomb threats. One
Speaker 1: Trump supporter was arrested for threatening someone with a knife
Speaker 1: outside of a Manhattan court. So people are like, you know,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people say you can't count
Speaker 1: out any kind of lone wolf actor, especially as we've
Speaker 1: seen like with like Alvin Bragg was got that note
Speaker 1: that's like Alvin, I will kill you, And it's just
Speaker 1: like what there was like white powder in it or
Speaker 1: some shit. So that is obviously a cause for concern,
Speaker 1: which is why there's a lot of security there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the NYPD is still a little bit like, yeah, I think,
Speaker 1: I think, I think it's gonna be okay. Like they
Speaker 1: seem to feel like there's not much ramping up or
Speaker 1: they don't see an influx of you know, shady people
Speaker 1: like getting around the courthouse. But it's funny though, because
Speaker 1: his like supporters are kind of afraid of the NYPD.
Speaker 1: They ah, that's interesting, Yeah exactly. So one person on
Speaker 1: like this, like you know, MAGA website, Patriots dot win.
Speaker 1: This is how they were categorized, like, no, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be in New York. Yeah, maybe I was there in DC,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be there in New York. They said,
Speaker 1: quote quote NYPD won't fall as easily as Capitol Police did.
Speaker 1: There needs to be multiple events to scatter and distract them.
Speaker 1: Be careful though. NYPD are brutal, and even more so
Speaker 1: when protecting one of their own. They have militarized units
Speaker 1: that are trained to round up and kill. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's all police departments. But it's weird again that like
Speaker 1: deference that's paid where they're like, yo, I mean, I
Speaker 1: know it's back though blue, but these mother fuckers will
Speaker 1: beat us black and blue. So you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like we don't need a fucking goal quite there with it,
Speaker 1: so I don't It is interesting to see them like
Speaker 1: they're even like they're brutal guys. They're like, don't fuck
Speaker 1: around and find out what the NYPD it's it's to me,
Speaker 1: and it's it's always like this is sort of you know,
Speaker 1: the thing with my criticism of Republicans often is there
Speaker 1: against things until they have to deal with them, and
Speaker 1: then they sort of see, you know the other side
Speaker 1: of things. You know, they're against gay marriage until their
Speaker 1: son's gay and that, Oh yeah, now I get it. It
Speaker 1: It was like why does it always have to happen
Speaker 1: to you? And so you have the criminal justice system,
Speaker 1: you know that like Democrats have been trying. They've been
Speaker 1: saying that like you know, these these police, uh you
Speaker 1: know they're there. They have too much militarized sort of
Speaker 1: equipment there there there's too much brutality happening. And in
Speaker 1: addition to that, you know, then you have like the
Speaker 1: January sixth people, and they're complaining these people are in
Speaker 1: jail and they haven't gotten a trial yet and they're
Speaker 1: in these bad conditions. It's like, buddy, this is what
Speaker 1: we've been talking about for prisons for decades, that that
Speaker 1: people have been in jail for years without getting their trial.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't donate blood after you've been in
Speaker 1: prison because prison life is so bad. You might have
Speaker 1: been contaminated as a human being just for being in there.
Speaker 1: And then and they never they're like, oh, no, criminals
Speaker 1: should be punished and then when they should jail. Yeah,
Speaker 1: except for the except for the q Qann Shaman guy.
Speaker 1: It's he's vegan food miles he got out. Food. He
Speaker 1: already got out. Now, I just mean when he was in,
Speaker 1: but he already he got out. Look, yeah he got
Speaker 1: the star from Mario two somehow earlier. We love something
Speaker 1: about you so I can't quite put my fingerbone and
Speaker 1: I look at your face. There's something about you that
Speaker 1: I just can't quite keep you in here like I
Speaker 1: do the others. I just I love that morning when
Speaker 1: Shaman was like should I He says to his wife,
Speaker 1: should I wear it? Should I wear the horn hat?
Speaker 1: Because if he doesn't wear the horn hat. We never
Speaker 1: hear about this guy. He probably maybe doesn't get arrested,
Speaker 1: he doesn't get as much because he gets he was
Speaker 1: the mascot of the whole thing, and if he didn't
Speaker 1: wear that horn hat, yeah, then he probably wouldn't have
Speaker 1: had as much sort of retribution. I guess. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: he was like, oh man, he's like the histrionics got me.
Speaker 1: I knew it. My egos always getting in the way.
Speaker 1: My therapist has been saying that. So another thing that's
Speaker 1: funny though too, according to like this former FBI agent
Speaker 1: who was like talking about in this article for the
Speaker 1: New York Times about like what the preparations are around
Speaker 1: this courthouse for Trump's arrangement basically said like New York
Speaker 1: is just kind of quote not as fertile of protests
Speaker 1: ground for conservative activists. And they're like, well, it's part
Speaker 1: and parcel because like New Yorkers too, like they're out
Speaker 1: in the street, like there's a lot of people out
Speaker 1: so you know, you may you may literally walk by
Speaker 1: somebody who has an antithetical viewpoint to you, and that
Speaker 1: might bring some smoke to you. But also in part
Speaker 1: because there are too many tolls to get there and Also,
Speaker 1: when you get there, nowhere to park. Okay, okay, you
Speaker 1: like Canada for a truck rally, we because roads are
Speaker 1: gonna sid but I mean, try and park in New York.
Speaker 1: It's like you might find a spot. Even if you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I could go on this handicapped space, watch there's a
Speaker 1: fucking cop parked there. Because they're like, yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: fucking we park wherever the fuck we want. Good luck
Speaker 1: with that. I think all that to say is you
Speaker 1: when you don't have some like you know, like right
Speaker 1: wing dark money groups actually funding the buses and the
Speaker 1: flights to get people there, it looks a little bit different.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, yeah, in that sense, even the
Speaker 1: media isn't quite on the same page to say, oh,
Speaker 1: this is this is where like we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: figure it out right now, everyone's just in that state
Speaker 1: of paralysis where they're like Dad says that we have
Speaker 1: to be angry at the New York Court and then
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, okay, okay, kind of mad. Do you
Speaker 1: think then that the police having everybody like basically on
Speaker 1: duty is just a way for them to justify their
Speaker 1: like over time, but over time, I know what's that fuck,
Speaker 1: what's that bill gonna look like for Tuesday? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? To justify what could we have done?
Speaker 1: It costs twenty five million, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: But you know, it is what it is. And then
Speaker 1: like when the real some like ship goes down, eventually
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we didn't realize we need well the
Speaker 1: last time nobody showed up, so we figured we could
Speaker 1: show up with about a third of the force. But
Speaker 1: I guess not. Yeah, it's a very very I mean,
Speaker 1: this is sort of the I think. Yeah, part of
Speaker 1: the delustion of the crowd is they're they're not quite
Speaker 1: sure what they're behind at this point. It's it's stopped
Speaker 1: this deal. That's an easy chant, but stop making a
Speaker 1: federal case out of a state issue of a hush
Speaker 1: money payment towards like they don't even quite sure what
Speaker 1: they're rallying against. And hey, it won't be until he's
Speaker 1: sentenced until they do anything anyway, Like I really feel
Speaker 1: like a lot of them are like I don't know
Speaker 1: or like me like a court system. Okay, I know
Speaker 1: he's getting ringed. They're gonna take a fingerprints. That's fine.
Speaker 1: A lot of them think he's not in danger. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: he's the art of the deal guy, Like he'll get
Speaker 1: out of this. He always gets out of it. Like
Speaker 1: the court's not going to do anything. That's a sham child.
Speaker 1: I think that once like sentencing and conviction comes down,
Speaker 1: like that's an we'll see more action from his like base.
Speaker 1: It is funny, this is a home game for him.
Speaker 1: You know, this is you know he's in Manhattan. He's
Speaker 1: this is he owns he literally owns Manhattan, and this
Speaker 1: should be like, um yeah, this should be like a
Speaker 1: total like he should feel comfortable, and instead it's he's
Speaker 1: feeling attacked. I also think it's funny this idea of
Speaker 1: that they all these people had all this like information
Speaker 1: of like the Capitol Building and all these maps and
Speaker 1: all this like intel of the corridors and the underground hallways,
Speaker 1: but they don't have any idea how to use the
Speaker 1: F train. They don't know how to like park in
Speaker 1: Long Island and get over to and get over to Manhattan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like three different ways you can get to New York,
Speaker 1: especially if you're like if they got to DC, they
Speaker 1: can get to New York relatively easy. Okay. They have
Speaker 1: those fancy busses now where you pay a hundred bucks
Speaker 1: and they drive you straight there, like you got options.
Speaker 1: I just I don't buy that. It's like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: nowhere in the park exactly. Now, if they were very smart,
Speaker 1: they would go. They would park in Atlantic City, spend
Speaker 1: the day in Atlantic City, and then take one of
Speaker 1: the five dollars buses from Atlantic City, you know, back
Speaker 1: to you know, in the southern Manhattan tip and that
Speaker 1: would be that would be great, that'd be a fun day.
Speaker 1: Are we giving them too many options? I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: they don't leave Atlanta. Don't listen to the show. I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry. Listen. I can map out your protests. Just
Speaker 1: you know, you want a plenty of water, plenty of food.
Speaker 1: There you go there, you go, bring my kids and
Speaker 1: make a day of it, maybe see a museum afterwards.
Speaker 1: Like you could really do a whole like full New
Speaker 1: York day. Yeah, raid some cars at night, day of it.
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly. It wear them out so that
Speaker 1: by the time the protest happens, they don't have any energy.
Speaker 1: They do that thing is like, let's take a nap
Speaker 1: real quick, and that's they do that thing where they
Speaker 1: they're in the bed, like I'm in the bed. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna go to the protest now, I'm already in
Speaker 1: the I think, like, what's the like sort of nick
Speaker 1: you're pointing to, Like, how how do you connect to
Speaker 1: all of these angry protesters in the way January six did?
Speaker 1: Were like stop this steal, Like you're saying, it makes
Speaker 1: sense because every MAGA person took an l when the
Speaker 1: elect With the election, they all were like, oh, Joe
Speaker 1: Byron's fucked. It's maga all day. And then when they're
Speaker 1: like what the fuck it isn't they can connect to
Speaker 1: that sent of disappointment in a really visceral way. And
Speaker 1: then again their cognitive dissonance can kick in and be like, no,
Speaker 1: it can't be that we're simply outnumbered with this divisive
Speaker 1: rhetor divisive rhetoric in ideology. No, it was the machines
Speaker 1: they and that like they were able to capitalize on this,
Speaker 1: like to your point, they're like, ah, it's more so
Speaker 1: to be like you can't put Trump in jail for
Speaker 1: breaking like a little law because a lot of people
Speaker 1: were kind of rolling their eyes to be like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is like on a little campaign finance thing.
Speaker 1: Is like one of the like replies I hear a lot,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's it's you're only going to get
Speaker 1: a very specific kind of like right wing person that'll
Speaker 1: be I think, completely come online and like a I
Speaker 1: won't go into physical space over this specific issue. But again,
Speaker 1: I'm always surprised at how people forget things, and you know,
Speaker 1: Trump's ability to be like the reason I'm going to
Speaker 1: jail is because they want to put all the good
Speaker 1: Christian white people in jail. And if maybe that works,
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean they're already kind of on this
Speaker 1: paranoia tick anyway, kicking. Yeah, you know, he frames it.
Speaker 1: You know, when he was in Waco, he's he's he's
Speaker 1: pitching himself as he's trying out some new material that
Speaker 1: it's a little bit older stuff, but he's kind of
Speaker 1: got the first album. Yeah yeah, yeah, but you know
Speaker 1: he's saying that he's he's attacking you people through me.
Speaker 1: You know, he's an attack on me as an attack
Speaker 1: on you, and and you know, so it's like, who
Speaker 1: cares about this campaign finance thing? But I think I
Speaker 1: just you reminded me what I forgot what I was
Speaker 1: going to say earlier, which was, you know, I think
Speaker 1: we were talking about the gasp from Fox News. It's
Speaker 1: it's not the it's not the campaign finance. It's that
Speaker 1: they spent four years thinking the absolute worst thing you
Speaker 1: could do was to say, let's put Hillary in jail.
Speaker 1: That was like the worst insult, worst thing they could
Speaker 1: throw out there. And so to them, that's a very
Speaker 1: that's the that's a very bad thing to do to
Speaker 1: somebody else. And so now that they see that it's
Speaker 1: actually happening to them, that's their gas that their threat
Speaker 1: to that they always did is not happening to them
Speaker 1: and they can't believe it. And that could be the
Speaker 1: closest thing that could be what they connect to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right of like your whiteness can no longer protect you
Speaker 1: my own actions. They're gonna do you like we do
Speaker 1: them like you know, because the at its foundation, that
Speaker 1: is like the fear that drives so much of this
Speaker 1: kind of shit, because it's there's an awareness about it.
Speaker 1: But then you put it just enough distance between you know,
Speaker 1: what's actually happening in the world and your reality to
Speaker 1: be able to be like well, that surely can't happen
Speaker 1: to us. But I mean, I was surprised it happened.
Speaker 1: I thought that it was going to I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I thought. I just because I again,
Speaker 1: I knew that they broke I knew he broke the law,
Speaker 1: but I also we've seen him break the law three
Speaker 1: thousand times or like, but he got elected in he
Speaker 1: breake like he got the high spoon in the land
Speaker 1: being the same person he is today. And so then yeah,
Speaker 1: the doubts start creeping in off like, oh well, maybe
Speaker 1: there won't every semblance of justice. It's like, if you're
Speaker 1: fucking in baseball, you know, the season just started and
Speaker 1: you're batting average is one point zero zero, meaning you
Speaker 1: will hit the ball every time you're at fucking back.
Speaker 1: That is his batting average to evade accountability. So it
Speaker 1: becomes an afterthought You're like, oh, yeah, at bat Donald
Speaker 1: Trump like, yeah, whatever, this guy's not gonna fucking strike out, right,
Speaker 1: you know. And then that's just sort of like the shock.
Speaker 1: But again, will we go that further step and actually
Speaker 1: see like that they're you know, there is some kind
Speaker 1: of accountability for you know, his hand and everything we've
Speaker 1: seen ever, I'm just gonna gesture around. I'm gonna bring
Speaker 1: up anything specific at this point. Well, he go down
Speaker 1: for doing everything everywhere, all at once, exactly. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, just
Speaker 1: to check in on his arch nemesis, Ron de Santis
Speaker 1: real quick. Who's I guess doing okay or not? Okay?
Speaker 1: We'll see took around for that and we're back. And yeah,
Speaker 1: Ron De Santists, I think is worth talking about too,
Speaker 1: because he hasn't quite reached the heights of stardom that
Speaker 1: he did right after the midterms in November, when his
Speaker 1: poll numbers were sky high and a lot of movers
Speaker 1: and shakers and the GOP started making googly eyes and
Speaker 1: being like, I don't know, this might be the guy,
Speaker 1: This might be the time. Now just throttle off, you know,
Speaker 1: Trump and get onto De Santists, because he knows how
Speaker 1: to do this stuff well, and he's smarter and he
Speaker 1: is all those things. The one thing though, that he
Speaker 1: just does not have, despite his like you know, quote
Speaker 1: unquote keen legal eye to be as cool as possible,
Speaker 1: is that he has no fucking charisma and there's nothing
Speaker 1: interesting about him except that he wears cowboy boots and
Speaker 1: like the weirdest times, and I'm thinking just because he
Speaker 1: likes to get a couple inches off them heels, and
Speaker 1: that's why he does it. But that's like, he really
Speaker 1: lacks any kind of magnetism outside of his ability to
Speaker 1: be really cruel through his legislation in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: And ever since then, ever since that, like midterm moment,
Speaker 1: it's been a slow slide back down the charts. You know,
Speaker 1: it came out with a strong single, but the album
Speaker 1: people just didn't aren't buying. And He's had moment after
Speaker 1: moment where Trump would send some you know, shade his way,
Speaker 1: like trying to smear him, and he would just back
Speaker 1: down or fucking hide from the media so he didn't
Speaker 1: have to talk about taking an lso publicly. And so
Speaker 1: when you see that, you're like, oh, he has no
Speaker 1: appetite to actually, you know, do battle with Trump in
Speaker 1: any way that you'd need to eventually if you're really
Speaker 1: trying to go for this nomination in the Republican side.
Speaker 1: But I think we're really beginning to see the limits
Speaker 1: of this man. Like you know, if you were a
Speaker 1: Pokemon card and you flipped him over and you look
Speaker 1: at the stats, he would have negative one twenty charisma points.
Speaker 1: His weakness would be standing up for himself and his
Speaker 1: and his special attack would be eats pudding with three fingers.
Speaker 1: There's an anecdote about how he eats pudding with his
Speaker 1: bare hands. Yet anyway, that's time me just making up.
Speaker 1: That's that's me taking from that rip from the headline.
Speaker 1: I really enjoy eating with my hands, but putting what what? No? No,
Speaker 1: you like meat with your bare hands, or like get
Speaker 1: bread dipping stuff? Like, there's something very tactile eating with
Speaker 1: your hands, but not blitting sir girls. You know, I
Speaker 1: think the Santas's real problem is the fact that he
Speaker 1: can't straddle the line appropriately to reach both Trump and
Speaker 1: connects to his pass right. So he went to Yale.
Speaker 1: You know, whether he earned it or did anything good
Speaker 1: while he was there is up in the air. But
Speaker 1: he went to Yale, which means ear to lead us.
Speaker 1: You're getting rid of all of these books, but you
Speaker 1: kind of have all of this past history with life.
Speaker 1: I've read all of them and love them. It's just
Speaker 1: I don't think he can do. Look, you have to
Speaker 1: go full dumb slash like hostile. Yeah, yeah, you have
Speaker 1: to be so in your corner, Like the reason Trump
Speaker 1: got to be so successful because he was like, I
Speaker 1: will literally not hear any argument that isn't my own thought,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to come to the table or
Speaker 1: debate you. There's no backing down. So either you have
Speaker 1: to be Trump essentially and meet him with all of
Speaker 1: that energy, or you're totally screwed and you're and because
Speaker 1: you're pandering to an already very specific alienated audience, there's
Speaker 1: nowhere to go from there. Like sensible Republicans wherever they are,
Speaker 1: if they still exist, are not looking at Desantists as
Speaker 1: an option, right, That's not far enough away from Trump
Speaker 1: for them. And Trump is still out here working, so
Speaker 1: they're not. His followers are not looking to replace him.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what hole the santist is trying
Speaker 1: to fill with this craziness other than you know, fail
Speaker 1: to try to like take down Disney and making sure
Speaker 1: kids can't read I guess and eating pudding with his
Speaker 1: three disgusting image you know what it's from. So it's
Speaker 1: like this apparently happened four years ago. Is on a
Speaker 1: private plane from Tallahasse to DC and twits on a
Speaker 1: private plane where they provide you with silverware. I'm sure, sir,
Speaker 1: it's all as it goes. Is he enjoyed a chocolate
Speaker 1: pudding dessert by eating it with three of his fingers,
Speaker 1: according to two sources familiar with the incident. Again, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's true, but I love if this
Speaker 1: is fake. I love this kind of shit, Like be like, yo,
Speaker 1: this guy eats pudding with three fingers, like in front
Speaker 1: of people who he knows are writing about him. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of questions to be asked here because it's
Speaker 1: not like privately with your buddies where you're like listen,
Speaker 1: I know it's gross, but this thing I like it.
Speaker 1: But maybe that's his like, maybe that's his tack to
Speaker 1: populism like Trump did. He's like, yeah, I mean who
Speaker 1: doesn't eat, you know, putting with their three fingers. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm a regular American. People are like, yeah, Fox spoons
Speaker 1: many yeah something. It resonates with the toddler demographic. I
Speaker 1: also love this the idea that that that what's what
Speaker 1: is happening on private planes where where him and Amy
Speaker 1: klobaschar She's eating salad with a comb. He's eaten pudding
Speaker 1: with three fingers. They're both looking at the Blasio going
Speaker 1: eating pizza with a fork, going, what's what's this maniac
Speaker 1: dote over here? Yeah? Yeah, you know, I mean you're
Speaker 1: and you're right though, it's like an impossible situation. So
Speaker 1: you know, if Trump comes along and he's the new
Speaker 1: hit movie and all the other studios trying to make
Speaker 1: the same movie again right now, but they don't understand
Speaker 1: is that you can't you can't be Trump to Trump.
Speaker 1: That's like a contradiction of the whole thing you you
Speaker 1: can't like because if you're Trump to Trump, you alienate
Speaker 1: the Trump base and you need those people, okay, or
Speaker 1: you don't be Trump to Trump, and then you're not
Speaker 1: being Trump at all because Trump doesn't take exceptions to Trump.
Speaker 1: So really, the only real viable options I think for
Speaker 1: a Republican right now is just sort of like kiss
Speaker 1: the ring of Trump, sort of like support him until
Speaker 1: he just fades away, and then when he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to run anymore, get his blessing and then run. And
Speaker 1: that's one way to be successful because if you blast him,
Speaker 1: if you do this like you don't this wavy thing.
Speaker 1: Then you you're either you're losing his base, which you
Speaker 1: need to like win, you know, or you're just not
Speaker 1: being him and they don't have They like you're you're
Speaker 1: not being the Trump that we want you to be.
Speaker 1: There the option you can be. And I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I kind of wish Nicky Haley didn't go down the
Speaker 1: route Nicky Haley could be this person where she's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play this descantis Trump game, you know,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna be this like old school Republican
Speaker 1: where I just am not going in hate and everything.
Speaker 1: And it feels like even she's like taking a page
Speaker 1: from this Trump stuff. If any Republican could come out, well,
Speaker 1: go ahead to your point. And I think it's finishing
Speaker 1: your thought. Is they all this is what has happened.
Speaker 1: They all are in fear of the influence that he
Speaker 1: has and they have to just sort of like model
Speaker 1: them after. David Frum in The Atlantic sort of puts
Speaker 1: it this way. It's like he's like, why are you
Speaker 1: gonna fucking like buy the tribute band album when you
Speaker 1: could just buy the original album? Right, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, why are you fucking with the tribute
Speaker 1: band because they're not gonna do it as well as him,
Speaker 1: And that's kind of like this weird position that you're in,
Speaker 1: right is, like the thing is, I think the only
Speaker 1: way you can differentiate is to truly differentiate, and like
Speaker 1: to your point is disagree with him out loud or
Speaker 1: say shit like, yeah, this dude is a mess and
Speaker 1: his lawbreaking is not a good look. But every person
Speaker 1: that says that ends up getting the fucking buzz song
Speaker 1: and they're like they run away from it very quickly,
Speaker 1: and the few that stood up to it, they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not running for reelection. So it's like
Speaker 1: almost like do you have the metal to actually attempt
Speaker 1: to do that, because that would be the only way
Speaker 1: you could do it. But I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: enough in like the national conversation on the right there
Speaker 1: that everyone is feeling like, yeah, man, that's bad. We
Speaker 1: do need to move on from him, because people are
Speaker 1: still talking about January six and some corners and things
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, if you have if you were sort
Speaker 1: of like a more moderate Republican, okay, and you wanted
Speaker 1: so you're trying to get that, like whatever, the eight
Speaker 1: percent of people that are that decide every election or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, you could basically you're not gonna You're not
Speaker 1: gonna lose QAnon because Quon's and those maggot people there,
Speaker 1: they their hate for Joe Biden outweighs, you know, their
Speaker 1: love for Trump or whatever. So if like if it's
Speaker 1: between you and anti Trump or and Joe Biden, they're
Speaker 1: still going to vote for the anti Trump Republicans. They
Speaker 1: hate Joe Biden so much. And I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the middle that are undecided that
Speaker 1: are tired of all of this. Like you know, descentis
Speaker 1: where the woke goes to die is Florida and Trump
Speaker 1: the Liberals they're ruining this couch. They're they're tired of
Speaker 1: all this hatred. It's over. You know. It's like they've
Speaker 1: seen all the Marvel movies and they're kind of tired
Speaker 1: of superhero shit right now. They want they want something
Speaker 1: a little bit They loved it for so long and
Speaker 1: now they want something a little bit different, and and
Speaker 1: you're right, no one's no one's gonna do it because
Speaker 1: they well, yeah, that's what's so funny though, too, Like
Speaker 1: when you see all the ads of like Republican, especially
Speaker 1: like men, like Republican men running for office. There's like
Speaker 1: this through line of like, hey, I'm buck Fuckville and
Speaker 1: I'm running for congressman. And guess what I made love
Speaker 1: to this pile of bullets before the director said action
Speaker 1: because I'm about your Second Amendment rights. And you know what,
Speaker 1: I was always told one thing, to never back down
Speaker 1: from a fight, and that's what I swear to do.
Speaker 1: I will never back down from a fight unless it's
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump the second he calls my name out.
Speaker 1: And which is so funny that for all this like
Speaker 1: posturing of like I'll never back that's all they do.
Speaker 1: And but again I think it's all in service because
Speaker 1: like the people that it's attracting aren't necessarily thinkers. They're
Speaker 1: all mimics. And the mimicry is getting to a certain point.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's hard to know, like you know who
Speaker 1: up on top. But I just do want to play
Speaker 1: this one clip because it is kind of satisfying. This
Speaker 1: is from like Ron de Santis is like I might
Speaker 1: be running for president tour where he's also like hawking
Speaker 1: a book, but he goes to Iowa, very you know,
Speaker 1: a very strategic place, to visit when you're thinking about
Speaker 1: running for president and fucking this event was so backwards,
Speaker 1: Like the second he comes on the stage, the stage
Speaker 1: crew took the like struck the podium from the stage,
Speaker 1: and then the Santis gets all confused because he's like,
Speaker 1: my podium, my podium's gone. And then you hear the
Speaker 1: governor being like he needs just listen to how like
Speaker 1: you will just take in a bit of shot and
Speaker 1: freudo for how you know, lackluster? His tour is actually going.
Speaker 1: There they go with the podium. He was about to
Speaker 1: speak at the lectern. Thank you all right, Well they
Speaker 1: took that. Did you take my podium away from me?
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, they took the podium. Well, it's great to
Speaker 1: be with you. Great from the Free State of Florida.
Speaker 1: Ba I. You know, I love Family Guy and this
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite episodes of Family Guy and
Speaker 1: all right, right, I don't y'all war right? Where Hey,
Speaker 1: how's everybody doing here? All right, Peter, Peter, we need
Speaker 1: the podium. Bah. It reminds me of the time I
Speaker 1: became king at Disneyland. So yeah. Apparently what's funny too
Speaker 1: is he was working with an events company that does
Speaker 1: like a lot of like the top draw conservative events.
Speaker 1: They they backed out of their contract with the Santis's
Speaker 1: campaign because they're like, dude, his they like apparently their
Speaker 1: belief is his, like his campaign's a mess, and they
Speaker 1: don't want people, they don't want people to start associating
Speaker 1: his fucked up events with their company, like like with
Speaker 1: that podium thing, and they're like, you know what, probably
Speaker 1: better off we don't like we normally work with like
Speaker 1: the most vile racist, xenophobes, transphobes, homophobes, all the phobes.
Speaker 1: You can you imagine this, sister bridge too far. You're
Speaker 1: just unprofessional about it. So we will see where he
Speaker 1: ends up, you know. And you're right too that nobody
Speaker 1: has seen do Santist talk for a length of time.
Speaker 1: They get these little sound bites and when you if
Speaker 1: you're gonna see Santis, if he goes in a debate
Speaker 1: with Trump, trumb will destroy him because Trump is a performer.
Speaker 1: He's done. He's the Don Rickles of the Republican Party
Speaker 1: and he can just take them all down. And he's
Speaker 1: not gonna because he has a couple of talking points
Speaker 1: that he has that he works into stuff. But he's not.
Speaker 1: He's not good on the fought and he sounds like
Speaker 1: kind of Kermit the Frog a little bit, and and
Speaker 1: and yeah, just as soon as people like hear him talk,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's going to be bad. And it kind
Speaker 1: of reminds me. The other thing is, I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're gonna get into the Marjorietaylor Green thing at all.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you have time, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but go on. Okay, But but here's here's what they
Speaker 1: like about the Santist, because all you need to do
Speaker 1: to be a Republican candidate is like one sound bite
Speaker 1: of you telling somebody to shut up, you know, like
Speaker 1: you turning around to a press going, hey, how about
Speaker 1: you shut up? And then people like I like this,
Speaker 1: and so they they they've seen some sent to set as.
Speaker 1: They like that he'll say shut up. I think he
Speaker 1: told a kid to put a mask on one time.
Speaker 1: They loved how we talked to that little you can
Speaker 1: take it off. He's like, take it off, yes, to
Speaker 1: a teenager or whatever the kid was, take it off.
Speaker 1: And they just like they like a guy who's like
Speaker 1: rude and sort of goes against everything they sort of
Speaker 1: preached a very un Christian way to sort of speak
Speaker 1: to people. But they like that. They like a guy
Speaker 1: who's like not afraid to tell somebody to shut up
Speaker 1: and so and that's what we want. Have time to
Speaker 1: get into the Marjorie Taylor Green thing on sixteen minutes,
Speaker 1: but like you know that that is why that is
Speaker 1: sort of the problem with the Marjorie Taylor Green sixteen
Speaker 1: minutes episode is that you know, they they whatever there,
Speaker 1: there's just they let her talk, and that's fine, you
Speaker 1: should let her talk. But also, like you know, people
Speaker 1: liked her because she is the type of person who
Speaker 1: gets on and tells people to shut up, right, and
Speaker 1: and then there go I like that, but you have
Speaker 1: to show them. If you don't show the whole breadth
Speaker 1: of what she does, you're misrepresenting why people are criticizing her.
Speaker 1: And she's like the perfect example of like what has
Speaker 1: been going on systemically, I guess for in Congress for forever,
Speaker 1: which is people come in and like the Santis and
Speaker 1: Marge Tiller Grenna go, Congress is full of bumps. We
Speaker 1: got to get rid of the bumps, right, and then
Speaker 1: they become the bumps. And then though I'm a Facebook bump,
Speaker 1: but I just got the Capitol Hill. I'm one of
Speaker 1: the bumps for Facebook. But we're moving on up folk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's a merry go round and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just Rhonda Santis. Would I hope that you can
Speaker 1: find uh, you know, the exit door as quickly as
Speaker 1: possible because I'm feeling out. I mean, we'll see what again,
Speaker 1: we don't. We just don't know what is going to happen.
Speaker 1: He may have some new material or we don't. But oh,
Speaker 1: to your point, Nick, I was gonna say, like, he's
Speaker 1: not going to be able to go toe to toe
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump because Donald Trump is like just a bully,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, He'll fucking he'll say whatever
Speaker 1: the fuck he wants to you. Ronda Santis isn't like that.
Speaker 1: And if Trump was like look at you, let everybody
Speaker 1: you should see his shoes he's wearing right now. How
Speaker 1: many inches did those add? Ron? But three inches? So
Speaker 1: so what without them? So with them you're five six?
Speaker 1: So with them, he's probably about five three. Folks, your
Speaker 1: boy right here, look at these, I'm wearing flip flops.
Speaker 1: These are flattis can be I'm six three. Bring the
Speaker 1: tape measure out and then Ronda Santis will be like, um,
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think that that's Germaine to
Speaker 1: this conversation, like you love you said Germaine. Okay, it
Speaker 1: ain't gonna fucking work unless you can come back with like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I was just actually reading the story Stormy
Speaker 1: Daniels thing. And you know I heard your favorite character
Speaker 1: in their Super Mario world is told stool if you
Speaker 1: get what I mean? All right, anyway, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: like and then just Santist gets the gamer vote. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we it's just not we just don't know what will happen.
Speaker 1: But Nick vaderat, thank you so much for joining us
Speaker 1: on the daily Zeitgeist? Man, where can people find you?
Speaker 1: Follow you, supports you and all that? Oh? What I
Speaker 1: just I'm supposed to have a call of action. That's
Speaker 1: what I was reading about it on social media. You
Speaker 1: have to have the singular call of action. You can't
Speaker 1: muddle it with all this different stuff. Goes. Go watch
Speaker 1: my special. It's called for amusement only. It's for free.
Speaker 1: It's on YouTube. Subscribe while you're there. Oh I've muddled
Speaker 1: and I've asked for two calls to action. You know what,
Speaker 1: just why this It's a I did an album years
Speaker 1: ago and then I have the video I've been I found.
Speaker 1: I've been sitting on this video found in an old
Speaker 1: coat pocket. I decided to put it on the air back.
Speaker 1: So yeah, go ahead and check that out. And thank
Speaker 1: you all for this. Was uh this, it's it's always
Speaker 1: cathartic to sort of like yeah a little bit, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to, you got to, you got it. Maintain
Speaker 1: that equilibrium, Joel, thank you so much for joining me.
Speaker 1: Where can people find you? Follow you? And what's one
Speaker 1: show that you should tell people to watch? You have
Speaker 1: can follow me all over the internet at jelani je
Speaker 1: E l E m O and I Q you E.
Speaker 1: I'm telling what do you watch it right now? Don't
Speaker 1: their whole you know, your reputation on the line. But
Speaker 1: what are you watching now? Okay, so I'll give you
Speaker 1: two one perm My reputation is we've been rewatching the
Speaker 1: first season of the Daredevil Netflix show, which you can
Speaker 1: find one that was well, it still hits, y'all, it's
Speaker 1: still real good. It sort of gives you hope about
Speaker 1: like the direction of the MCU could maybe swinging back
Speaker 1: to once they figure out kind of catastrophe they're in
Speaker 1: right now. So we gotta gives you hope that maybe
Speaker 1: maybe MCU will strain yourself out, and I look forward
Speaker 1: to that hopefully. The other show I tell everyone to
Speaker 1: watch is Julia. It's on HBO Max. It is the
Speaker 1: Julia Childs How she made a TV show movie. So
Speaker 1: this is they seem Julia Julia that chronicles how she
Speaker 1: made the cookbook, this is how she made the TV show.
Speaker 1: It stars so many women working in television in the sixties.
Speaker 1: And if you're like me and you want to work
Speaker 1: in TV, oh my god, it's so good. But also
Speaker 1: they teach how to make perfect scrambled eggs. And also
Speaker 1: the cast is really good. And also there are black
Speaker 1: people in it, and there's nothing about the rites. It's
Speaker 1: kind of the perfect show. There's not like a woman
Speaker 1: with like a with like a black power afro pick.
Speaker 1: It's like, Julia, I gotta ask you for something. There's
Speaker 1: a black woman who works at the TV. They did
Speaker 1: do a slight rewrite the white female producer of the show.
Speaker 1: They made a black woman just you know, spice it
Speaker 1: up a little bit, which I really appreciated. And then
Speaker 1: there is a black woman in the penultimate finale episode
Speaker 1: who it's a documentarian And you think she's gonna come
Speaker 1: in and be all badass and like tell this white
Speaker 1: boy how to make documentaries about civil rights and she's like, yo,
Speaker 1: you live in Boston, Like, don't go to the South.
Speaker 1: You've got plenty of stories right here. And then she
Speaker 1: learns he works for Julia Child and she's like, I
Speaker 1: love Julie. She melts and she's so soft and sweet.
Speaker 1: Three black women work on this show. Two of them
Speaker 1: are playwrights. It's this astounding sensational show. I don't think
Speaker 1: that people are talking about I love Julia, and I
Speaker 1: think more people should watch it. I love scrambled eggs,
Speaker 1: so I'm I would make you the best scrambled eggs
Speaker 1: because is it? Is it? What is it? Like? A
Speaker 1: like a like more of a thick, thick bottomed pot
Speaker 1: butter or milk, and then you slow cook the egg
Speaker 1: any kind of pan, it doesn't matter. It's okay cooking
Speaker 1: with Julia. You need a ship ton of butter. Just
Speaker 1: prepare yourself. It doesn't matter what she's making. Ratch with
Speaker 1: butter and yes, super hot pan. The trick is you
Speaker 1: want to pour in three quarters of your egg yolk
Speaker 1: mixture you're blend into the pan. Let that cook almost
Speaker 1: all the way about ten seconds before you pull it off.
Speaker 1: Dump the rest of your egg mixture in there, whip
Speaker 1: that up, and then pull it off. The heat will
Speaker 1: continue to cook it, but until it's just perfect, so
Speaker 1: it's like very custody and white and amazing. Did the
Speaker 1: I always did the Gordon Ramsay version, which is like
Speaker 1: on lower heat, and you keep removing it as you like,
Speaker 1: keep stirring to get it like super fluffy. Now, I look,
Speaker 1: I want to be the egg. I like it. Just
Speaker 1: get it hot, do it fast, get it over, and
Speaker 1: then add a little bit at the end. I like that.
Speaker 1: Is there any tweet or worker social media that either
Speaker 1: of you are liking in case you want to shout
Speaker 1: it out? Yeah, I got you. Here we go. This
Speaker 1: one's from Shack. Shut up, you dumb ass and leave

Speaker 1: how you say their name. I hate the summer for

Speaker 1: pm and it's brighter than powder and the movie Powder
