Speaker 1: name is Jack, that is Miles And these are the

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: stories that are trending right now. We of course have

00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: the big document dump all the things that are going

10
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: to build the case Jacksmith's case against Donald Trump when

00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: it comes to that Trump tried to cheat in the

Speaker 1: last election. It's all stuff that we kind of know.

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: We will dig into it a little bit more on

14
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow's episode. But one of the best details and scariest somehow,

15
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: according to a document unsealed in federal court on Wednesday,

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: on December seventh, twenty twenty, Rudolph Giuliani tried to send

17
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: a message urging someone as unspecified to help in the

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: plan to appoint a slate of fake electors. Yep, yeah, yeah,

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: so I need you to pass the joint resolution from

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: the legislature. The quote this is a quote yeah, yeah,

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: so I need you to pass a joint resolution from

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: the legislature that states the election is in dispute, there's

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: no ongoing investigation by the legislation, and the electors sent

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: by Governor Whitmer and not the official electors of the

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: State of Michigan, and do not fall within the safe

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: harbor deadline under the Michigan law. Huh. And you sent

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: that to up like a political operative, the wrong number. Oh,

28
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: he sent it to the wrong number, to a rando,

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: to a Randoh, yep, yep, yep.

30
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: Thank god for Juliani's senility and love of alcohol so

31
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: that there may be plentiful receipts. Yeah, for the Supreme

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,639
Speaker 2: Court to ignore. But yeah, it's so roody at this point.

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: I feel like we should have thought this was going

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: to happen, Like, of course, he's always sending people like

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: he doesn't know anyone's phone number, and he's sending people

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: the wrong shit, incriminating stuff all the time on accidents.

37
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: The number of people must have been blown up by

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: like Dick picks that just like sent to wrong number

39
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: by Rudolph Julian. And do you think it's a prank?

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Maybe not even intentionally, Yeah, you think, but you also

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: you think it's a prankie, Like, dude, someone just sent

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: me like a pick of Rudy Giuliani's dick. What the

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: fuck do you know the number? Nah?

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: Man, it's like a nine to one seven area code,

45
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: that's right.

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, I don't know. Yeah, but I

47
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: mean overall, just a lot of good details like that.

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: There's Ronal McDaniel calling Donald Trump's plans fucking nuts, like

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: it's just the conversations happening behind the scenes are exactly

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: what you would expect them to write. This is bullshit, right,

51
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: Like there's no secret here. It's just like him being like, yeah,

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,480

Speaker 1: I'll try to do it.

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: Like I know, I know what the plan is here,

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,560

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: momentum of history indicating probably. Yeah.

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: It's like a TV show with a will they won't

66
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: they plot. It's like, wow, they never seem to answer

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: that question, and I keep coming back for an answer. Huh.

68
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: And anyways, tune into the next episode.

69
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, yep, man, This next one really just fantastic,

70
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: fantastic insight into filmmaking.

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: It's a yeah. So one of our finest filmmakers from

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: the early nineties, Barry Sonomfeld my kids, big fans. He's

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: the director of Men in Black, of Adam's Family, Adam

74
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: Family Values, and he just dropped his new memoir on

75
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: the world and it is a classy work that you

76
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: need to pronounce in that way, Memoir mid Atlantic. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

77
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: because one of the details from that story, or maybe

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: it was just an interview he was doing about the book,

79
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: but he revealed that Will Smith once farted while filming

80
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: a scene with Tommy Lee Jones inside of a sealed

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: cramped car, and the fart was so bad that they

82
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: had to evacuate the set for about three hours. That's amazing,

83
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: and I know hyperbole, unless Will Smith has something terribly

84
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: wrong with his insights. I mean three hours lingering fart

85
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: in a sealed car. Sure, Like I don't know, all right,

86
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: So let me just say this. I recently was put

87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: in charge of other people's kid. I was picking up

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: my son, their son from a lesson of some sort,

89
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: and I parked the car went there was like an

90
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: hour thing that the kids were doing that I was

91
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: watching them, do you know, came out of the lesson,

92
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: walked back to the car and got in the car,

93
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: and they were both like gagging. What the fuck is

94
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: that smell? And I didn't smell it, and therefore I

95
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: must have farted before I left the car. Wow. Wow, Okay,

96
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: it lasted for like an hour and a half. Wait,

97
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: so do you remember being like, all right, I'm just

98
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: gonna close the door. No, And that's what's so scary.

99
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, Josh, that's what's so scary. I mean I

100
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: was by myself, so like I feel like I don't

101
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: notice those things, you know. Oh, whenever I got a

102
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: fight and I'm like, oh here we go. Oh time

103
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: to do a solo real quick on the lo lo.

104
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well then, now that makes me think that if

105
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: it was three hours and some poor pa like son

106
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: and Fell was like, any check the check the picture

107
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 2: car really quick. Oh yeah, yeah, going no, no, no,

108
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: it's still not out.

109
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: It's still not out. It's still not out.

110
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, I like the way he'd even explained who

111
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: Will Smith is? You know, yeah, so he said, quote

112
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: Will Smith is a fart. It's just some people are

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 2: damn bro. I didn't know it was going to be

114
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: a philosophy book, you know. Yeah, D thought this was

115
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: just like hot goss from behind the scenes. But it's

116
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: hot gas yeah, and turns it turns out and that

117
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: is how I pronounced gas.

118
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: So god, I'm alle please, yes, exactly. Still it up

119
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: twenty worth of goss I fart. Therefore, I am ah,

120
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: very good, very good. Hey, speaking of horrible, horrible farts. Yeah,

121
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: McDonald's is bringing the chicken big Mac that everyone hates

122
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: to the United States. Don't need it. This is disgusting.

123
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: So this is exactly what you assume it is. It

124
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: is a big Mac, except replace the patties with patties,

125
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, just the patties song. Sing the song, but

126
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: just swap out the lyrics. Oh, I can't do that.

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: I don't fried chicken patty special sauceleed is to use

128
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: bickles and he's on the sesame seed bun.

129
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean two fried chicken patties. Yeah, and oh man

130
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: and three pieces of bread. Huh, so much bread? So yeah,

131
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: producer Victor made a very good you know, some might

132
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: even call him a super producer. I just call him producer.

133
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: But he's a super producer many people's hearts. We trank

134
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: keep him mumble, We try to keep him mumble. So

135
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: I hadn't quite put my finger on like the first

136
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: problem that erupted in my subconscious when I saw this.

137
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: But it is in fact too much bread. Yeah yeah,

138
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: I like the big Man quite a bit personally, but

139
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: it is verging on being too much bread. Yeah yeah.

140
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: But adding breaded meat to the too much bread sandwich, yeah,

141
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: is not a good move. That ain't gonna work. That's

142
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: so much bread. Yeah, she just looks, it just looks.

143
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: In case we're wondering why they're making this move. McDonald's

144
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: keeps adding more chicken to their menu because it's quote

145
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: cheaper than beef. They're desperately trying to reverse slumping sales Jesus,

146
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of wild. That makes me highly suspect of

147
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: their chicken, the fact that it's cheaper than their hamburger patties,

148
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: which have always struck me as not the finest quality.

149
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Of questionable provenance. As people would say, Yes, well it

150
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: is one hundred percent beef with an asterisk on it.

151
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: But we love that, and we love that about it.

152
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: We have enough problems in America. Don't import these abominations

153
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: onto our menus, please.

154
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, people who have tried it in other countries seem

155
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: to really not like it. They've described the flavors as incongruous,

156
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: noting that there's a weird aftertaste that is such a

157
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: scathing euro takedown. I know, this flavor combination is just incongruous. Oh,

158
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: it's a wobbly collection of flavors, right.

159
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: It's just it's cockophonic, if I may say so. It's

160
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: a cacophony of flavors that I just cannot I cannot

161
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 2: abide by. Where Meanwhile, in america's gonna be some like

162
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: TikTok fast food. Dude, dude tastes like shit, and that's

163
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: our version. But hey, it's efficient, tastes like shit.

164
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: We get the point. Yeah, well probably like leave one

165
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: of those in your car for an hour, and I

166
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: smells better than a fart, to be honest, Yeah, that's true.

167
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: You did raise an interesting question, though, what is McDonald's

168
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: doing with all the burger tops, Because I mean a

169
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 1: big mac is burger top, two heels, yep, top and

170
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: two heels. There's a dirty joke that I could make

171
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: about that that I'm not gonna make. But is there

172
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: like some special thing that they're doing to create the

173
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: extra heel? Is there another food item that is just top?

174
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: I think it's It sounds like because God blessed TikTok

175
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: for showing us like people who are working on the

176
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: lines of fast food places that I think it's its

177
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: special own butt. The mid bun is a special owned butt. Yeah. Wow.

178
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: They call it a crown. That's what the top with

179
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: the sesame seeds is is the crown. The middle part

180
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: is called the club, which makes sense because a club

181
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: sandwich is a three piecer. Yeah, and then the bottom

182
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: is the heel. But yeah, I didn't I didn't know.

183
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know if they're if they're turning out clubs

184
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: on their own or if.

185
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: It comes with the anyway, it's too much bread. Do

186
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: you fuck with Big Max? No? Fuck, No, it's disgusting.

187
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't want that shit. Too much bread. Yeah, too

188
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: much bread, way too much bread, too much Thousand Island dressing.

189
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: Now I'll eat like if I can. I'm eating breakfast there. Yeah.

190
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've evolved past the regular offerings like in that.

191
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: For the longest time, I was just eating obscene amounts

192
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: of McDonald's breakfast, especially when they started doing the thing,

193
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: was like twenty four hours a day, and my insides died.

194
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so now I'm off that a highly evolved palette. Indeed, yes,

195
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm still a caveman over here. I think I'm about

196
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: to enter the renaissance. But yeah, egg whites, Jack, all right,

197
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and

198
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: talk about a strike and talk about Milania Trump. Will

199
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: be right back and we're back. We're back, and Milania

200
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: Trump has finally entered. Yeah, the twenty twenty four presidential election.

201
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, where is she? Where is she? What's she doing?

202
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Does she hate Donald Trump? Does? What is going on?

203
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: So she has a memoir out and it's basically like

204
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: propaganda to make Donald Trump seem normal with you know,

205
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: a few anecdotes of her own, and I think the

206
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: thing that is getting a lot of attention is this.

207
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: There's like an excerpt that people are posting where she

208
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: basically says that she is pro choice. She believes in

209
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: the right to use plant blank. That's it.

210
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: No further questions, my honor, and the stupid reactions like

211
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: you saw a lot of.

212
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: People be like, WHOA, Melania's pro choice? She must really

213
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: hate Donald Trump to put that in her book so

214
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: close to the election. Why would she do that? But realistically,

215
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: this is just another fucking ruse.

216
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 2: I think in order for people who are not critically

217
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: thinking to believe that, like, oh, maybe Trump can be

218
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: reasoned with despite all the nonsense that he says about abortion,

219
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: if his wife is there advocating for it, then that

220
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: must maybe that balances out his completely regressive view on

221
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: abortion and healthcare. And then so after that thing came out,

222
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: people were like, oh, I don't know, what does this mean?

223
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: What does he get?

224
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: What's going to happen to the conservative vote? She dropped

225
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: a video like in the most I don't know what this.

226
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: It looks like film noir or something restating for everyone

227
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: what her beliefs are. She's saying it with her whole

228
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: test right now.

229
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 4: Individual freedom, He's a fundamental SIPO that I safeguard without

230
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: a doubt. There is no loo for compromise when.

231
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: It comes to the lighting is so disorienting that.

232
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: All women possess from birth individual freedom. What does my body,

233
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: my choice really mean?

234
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: Okay, anyone that's like, buy my book Millennia Trump dot Com.

235
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Fully inspired by early nineties perfume commercials.

236
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is very much Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds kind

237
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: of vibe. Yeah, I'm surprised there wasn't like a shot

238
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: of like the like shells washing Ashore, like as b roll.

239
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is again, make no mistake, this is

240
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: merely to put something out there where it's like a

241
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: woman from the Trump family is on board, on the

242
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: same page as other people who believe that you should have,

243
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: you know, agency over your body. Look, it's a nice

244
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: stride because I think at the end of the day,

245
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: her meal ticket in Donald Trump must win in order

246
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: for her life to continue the way it is. So

247
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: at least they're on the same page for once, you know,

248
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: they're both like, yeah, I guess you can't lose this one.

249
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: So if I need to just be the fucking person

250
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: who pretends like you're reasonable, or I can at least

251
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 2: seem like a foil to all your bad ideas, then

252
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: we'll go for it.

253
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: Damn. All right. Well, I appreciate you because my take

254
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: was going to be, Wow, she must be so mad

255
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: at her, the exact take that you just did. And

256
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate you telling guest editor Josh to edit out

257
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: my take and just do a dumb sounding impression of

258
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: exactly what I said, word for Oh my, omg, Miles,

259
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: do you see this next one? Be like sleeping on

260
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: the couch now? Bro? Wow? I bet they sleep in

261
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: separate homes. Wait they do? Yeah? All right, And finally

262
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: we have the longshoremen are on strike. Yeah, and people

263
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: are losing their shit about toilet paper, so to speak.

264
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: Everyone's losing their So the International Longshoreman's Association, which represents

265
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: you know, the long shot women who work all along

266
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: up and down the Atlantic coast.

267
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: It is along shore. Yeah, it's very nice to clever

268
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: name my folks.

269
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: They've gone on strike after their contract expired with the

270
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: port owners. And their response is like it's all over

271
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: the place, depending on where you get your news and

272
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: what your perspective is on like worker rights or the election.

273
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: So Republicans are preemptively already blaming Harris for the economic

274
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: chaos that this will bring. If the ports are shut down,

275
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: if goods aren't coming in, supply chain is going to

276
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: be messed up, the prices are going to go up,

277
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: and that's on them for not felling the strike and

278
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: forcing people to go back to work. You know, that's

279
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: not a great option when you're sort of coming off

280
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: of this pro labor thing. Kamala Harris has come out

281
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: and said like no, no, like, yeah, go ahead, I

282
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: support them, Get yours, Get yours.

283
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: Liberals are blaming the workers for being in cahoots with

284
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: Trump because the head of the ILA is like, you know,

285
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: he's said a lot of glowing things about Trump, and

286
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: they're like.

287
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: They're just striking right now to fuck with the election.

288
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: And sure, that's a very cynical way of looking at it.

289
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: And then consumers are panic buying toilet paper again because

290
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: they're like, the ports are gonna close and where are

291
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: we how are we gonna wipe our assholes? So, first off,

292
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: I think it's important to say the strike is warranted, okay,

293
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: given the record breaking profits shipping companies have enjoyed over

294
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: the last few years, especially during the pandemic. They're merely

295
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: asking for what all workers in the United States on

296
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: some level have been yearning for, which is that you

297
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: have wages that actually match the productivity gains or the

298
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: profit gains for the entity that you work for. So

299
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: some bad faith arguments against this are that, like, they

300
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: already make a lot of money, Like it's not right

301
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: that they make so much money, or why are they

302
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: against technology if it makes.

303
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: Things more efficient?

304
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: Well, I think looking back, there's like a great article

305
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: about this in the New Prospect or the American Prospects

306
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: that essentially talks about how like over sixty years ago,

307
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: these longshorman unions had to embrace containerization because back then

308
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: the goods were in a ship's hull and then all

309
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: these dudes came out and we're pulling stuff out on

310
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: nets and then bringing it ashore. And so when they said, okay,

311
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: we'll agree to containerization where like the goods are in

312
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 2: containers and like they can be moved easily on rail

313
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: and truck and cranes and things like that, Basically when

314
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: they agreed to that, it took a huge bite out

315
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: of like the need for these workers sometimes like near

316
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: it's a ninety percent by just agreeing to containerization. So

317
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 2: they've already taken a huge hit in terms of the

318
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: number of people that can work, in terms of like

319
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: quote efficiency, and so now they're worried about things like

320
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 2: automation where like it's like, oh, everything scanned automatically rather

321
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: than that being someone's job. Like that kind of stuff

322
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: is what they're pushing back because they've already had huge

323
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 2: chunks of that workforce taken out by you know, these

324
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: sort of technological gains. So they're merely saying this is

325
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: a good system, it works, no further automization, and please

326
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: give us increased wages that are matching the cut like

327
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: the profits that you guys are seeing.

328
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Miles some that monies goes to shareholders value. So yeah, yeah,

329
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: well so fuck all that I think is what their point. Sorry,

330
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: those aren't the rules, dude, I know that money's any

331
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: extra money goes to shareholders.

332
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: Well, dude, if this line isn't a hockey stick and

333
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: turns into a ping pong table and flattens out, I

334
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 2: will die.

335
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: It's not realizing that money's goes to shareholder value is

336
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: actually childish of you, and you don't know how things work.

337
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, my sweet sweet child. But yeah, so

338
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: the timing isn't great. You know, if there's a huge

339
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: choke point in the supply chain, prices will probably most

340
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: likely go up because that's how all this shit works.

341
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: And it could be used as a political attack against

342
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: Biden and Harris. But if you had a functioning media,

343
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: they could avoid you know, this call of the journalistic

344
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: void and just say things like the shipping companies and

345
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: ports could end this strike immediately. They are just choosing

346
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: not to out of greed. But then you see a

347
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 2: lot of takes are like, uh oh, this is going

348
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: to be trouble for Harris. Rather than educating people, I'm like,

349
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 2: this is this isn't merely the decision of the administration

350
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: to have a strike happened. And then the toilet paper thing,

351
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: I think is important. Stop panic buying toilet paper everyone.

352
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: Here's a fun thing you can tell people who have

353
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: been losing it over like toilet paper vanishing because the

354
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: ports are closing, because there's pictures, there's a ton of pictures,

355
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: TikTok videos, or people like walking into Costco and they're like, U,

356
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 2: it's it's like March twenty twenty again up in here,

357
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: Like people are raiding the fucking toilet paper. And conservatively

358
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the toilet paper we are using comes

359
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: from domestic factories.

360
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: Yea.

361
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: The rest is coming from like Canada or Mexico, which

362
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: means doesn't have to come in through a port, comes

363
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: in you know, the old fashioned way. And if anything,

364
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: the strike would affect the exports of toilet paper abroad,

365
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: you see, right, Like that's where it gets messed up.

366
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: So you would probably be looking at a just an

367
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: oversupply of toilet paper if it's not able to be exported.

368
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: Of industrial bed toilet paper.

369
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: I think the one thing where toilet paper manufacturing, like

370
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: as I was reading about it, is affected is the

371
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: fact that they import like this eucalyptus pulp to make

372
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: this softer shit.

373
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that comes from Brazil. You're just gonna have

374
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: rough shit on your buttle.

375
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: But what they're saying right now is like we're good,

376
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: Like even the lobbying groups that represent them like, please stop,

377
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: we have so much Like it's probably not going to

378
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: be that big of a deal. And worst case scenario,

379
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: commercial grade toilet paper is out there because it doesn't

380
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 2: require this like important pulp, so don't worry.

381
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: You can wipe your butts in peace, so don't worry.

382
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: All this is really fucked up SNL sketch like early

383
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: days of SNL where Jackie Kennedy is like sitting and

384
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: every time there's a lab bang, she starts like climbing

385
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: up behind her oh with the motor kid like like

386
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: just it's a joke about panic trauma reflexes. Wow, triggered much.

387
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: It's truly fucked up. But I feel like that is

388
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: us as a nation. Like the second there's any sort

389
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: of uh news about supply chain interruption, we just like

390
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: my mindlessly sprint to the supermarket to buy toilet paper. Yep,

391
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: we're just like dah, I need toilet paper. Super producer

392
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: Victor again in the chat.

393
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: It's right, that's why you got to be get like me,

394
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: Bill Shitters and get a lovely bid day because he's

395
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: got a dry.

396
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, love bid days. Oh.

397
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: But the one thing that could get affected is I

398
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: think one of the huge consumer items would be bananas

399
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: banana would be one percent.

400
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: Are not growing that shit here? No no, no, no,

401
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: don't tell your minion buddies no more by now all right,

402
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: well pour one out for the minions hopefully. It's also funny, like,

403
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: so this is being done at a time when really

404
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: the Biden administration would be incentivized to help. It's almost

405
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: like the union has a lot of leverage right now,

406
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: and to use that leverage is un American. Is like

407
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: how the story is told. Yeah, yeah, exactly, and that

408
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: probably gets like they're already make enough enough, You're going

409
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: to make too much money.

410
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: They do make a good wage, but again that's because

411
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: it's so vital and critical, and also because again they've

412
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 2: argued the negotiated contracts that have had a bit of

413
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: foresight to be like, well, if our workforce is going

414
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 2: to get cut down by some of these advancements, then

415
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna pay like relatively, like what is going you know,

416
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: a fair proportional wage based on the demand and the

417
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 2: work that we do.

418
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, those are some of the things that

419
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: are trending on this Thursday afternoon. We are back tomorrow

420
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then,

421
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, to vaccine,

422
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: get your flu shot, don't do nothing about white supremacy,

423
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Peace,
