Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this special Monday week
Speaker 1: Trends edition for Monday, July seventeenth.
Speaker 2: Of ur days.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm Jack. That is Miles Yeah, and hey Miles,
Speaker 1: how are you doing? These are some of the things
Speaker 1: that we're trying to go over the weekend. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: we what was trending on your weekend?
Speaker 2: Oh wow? My weekend action packed? I must say. I
Speaker 2: hung out with Francesca Fiorentini and Matt Leeb and their baby,
Speaker 2: you know, doing like baby friend time type stuff, which
Speaker 2: is nice. Shot out Matt and Francesca. Uh and then dude,
Speaker 2: on fucking Saturday, I went to the Hollywood Bowl to
Speaker 2: see I found like, I found these cheap seats like
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, like on like one of those apps
Speaker 2: or whatever. So I don't know, like her magic, I'm like, yo,
Speaker 2: what if we hit this like concert? Because my mom
Speaker 2: was down to babysit. We saw cool in the gang
Speaker 2: in the village people, and I'm changed for I don't
Speaker 2: know what. I don't know. I don't know what happened
Speaker 2: to me, but I will get into that as we
Speaker 2: discuss over it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, uh, Francesca's babies in age.
Speaker 2: That baby's like three months just like about three months different,
Speaker 2: three to four months different.
Speaker 1: That totally determines like, yeah, we we have a neighbor
Speaker 1: whose kids are like kind of the same age as ours,
Speaker 1: and we're yeah, well we're friends for the next.
Speaker 2: Six because like, you know, I fuck with Matt and
Speaker 2: Francesca and like I do their podcast and stuff. But
Speaker 2: you know, like podcasting, like yeah, you're stuck with the
Speaker 2: no no, not even like that, it's just like the
Speaker 2: evolution no, but more, I think more for like the
Speaker 2: listener's sake, because a lot of times, like we record
Speaker 2: with people, but that doesn't necessarily mean like these are
Speaker 2: the people I hang out, Like I fuck with all
Speaker 2: these people, but like I have my own like group
Speaker 2: of friends who like aren't you know, notable by any
Speaker 2: starch of the imagination, But like I don't hang out
Speaker 2: with a lot of the people like that that we
Speaker 2: talk to all the time. So it was just kind
Speaker 2: of like a nice progression to be like, you have
Speaker 2: baby same age, I have baby, same age. Let's aim
Speaker 2: them at each other like herbies and see what happens,
Speaker 2: and like they get along great.
Speaker 1: Amazing, and I hang out with no one, so uh,
Speaker 1: for the listener, I think that's pretty clear.
Speaker 2: To and and I banging on Jack's doors, We're like,
Speaker 2: like that are meme at the White House?
Speaker 1: Yeah? All right? Should we get in a little overrated? Underrated? Yeah? Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 1: What do you want to start with? You want to
Speaker 1: go over?
Speaker 2: What do we usually do over?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like let's start with underrated.
Speaker 1: It gives us a little little nice kind of soft
Speaker 1: way soft landing. I'll go first.
Speaker 2: Underrated white denim jeans on grown men.
Speaker 1: Wildly underrated. And I've been saying this, I've been seen
Speaker 1: so again.
Speaker 2: This a lot of my shit has to do it
Speaker 2: with the ship I saw at the Hollywood Bowl, because look,
Speaker 2: it was a lot of smooth, older players coming out
Speaker 2: for the cool in the gang show. And let me
Speaker 2: tell you, oh yeah, like older black men love a
Speaker 2: white pant, especially with some with some bejewels on. Like
Speaker 2: everybody on stage had white bejeweled pants on. There were
Speaker 2: some dudes of all kinds of uh, you know, ethnicities
Speaker 2: and backgrounds. There was like this weird thing where I
Speaker 2: was really trying to determine, is there is there an
Speaker 2: age where when you wearing white denim pants it just
Speaker 2: looks like you're fucking around, like you can't be taken seriously, right,
Speaker 2: I don't know why there were some people I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, sir. It feels like a bridge too
Speaker 2: far with the for for your look right now, just
Speaker 2: throwing the white pants on with it, like skinny white jeans,
Speaker 2: skinny white jeans. I think it reminds me that that
Speaker 2: fucking I think you should leave sketch of the guy
Speaker 2: who was talking about like idy bitty jeans like white jeans, yeah, exactly, yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that slick back real nice.
Speaker 1: I saw that the bottom half of his saying, oh man,
Speaker 1: oh you would those would fit into some nice, itty
Speaker 1: bitty white jeans.
Speaker 2: Like I'm sure you got some white jeans.
Speaker 1: Right, I got white jeans. Yeah, I haven't worn them
Speaker 1: in a while, but they're definitely not like skinny jeans.
Speaker 2: Right, But do you think they'll come a time where
Speaker 2: you go, you know, it's time to hang the white
Speaker 2: jeans up.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't know, Like, I don't
Speaker 1: think of them as particularly like young clothing. I think
Speaker 1: of like white. Yeah, I don't know what when Grandma
Speaker 1: was wearing like the when I think of old people
Speaker 1: and white pants, Like my grandma was wearing flowy white pants.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, into her.
Speaker 2: I think of like those like pleated polyester white pants
Speaker 2: that like, yeah, grand grandmothers everywhere would wear, right, But
Speaker 2: like because I remember, like my grandfather had like white jeans,
Speaker 2: but they were like dirt, like they weren't like pristine.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I think it was something about
Speaker 2: seeing I think there was a moment where some of
Speaker 2: these people, like it was their white jeans along with
Speaker 2: their very like like it almost looked like some of
Speaker 2: these dudes in their seventies were like fliction.
Speaker 3: Remember affliction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there it was like a lot of like
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty something year old Yeah. When I think, like,
Speaker 1: who never let go of be a fliction?
Speaker 2: I know, I think maybe somebody's like, yo, this shit
Speaker 2: was popping twenty years ago when I you know, when
Speaker 2: my ex wife bought me some young people clothes, I
Speaker 2: was still wearing them now. Yeah, but anyway, rock what
Speaker 2: you want to. But I was just like the thing
Speaker 2: was the power of them. I could not be underrated.
Speaker 2: I'm like, like it was doing something to me, and
Speaker 2: it was clearly doing some of the people that were
Speaker 2: wearing them because they were they were energized.
Speaker 1: There you go, let's see my underrated I gotta call it.
Speaker 1: So I think I'm like gonna start living my life.
Speaker 1: You remember that Seinfeld episode where like Costanza just like
Speaker 1: does the opposite of whatever. Yeah, his instincts say, like,
Speaker 1: I think I need to start doing that because oh
Speaker 1: when there's like it's particularly with like with regards to
Speaker 1: like going out and doing stuff, I guess because like
Speaker 1: my instinct is always to not do anything right. And
Speaker 1: this weekend, we my my entire family, we hopped in
Speaker 1: the wagon went to a boxing match in Semi Valley
Speaker 1: because we like knew a couple of the people who
Speaker 1: were involved. And it was amazing. Like it wasn't like amazing,
Speaker 1: like I recommend everybody do this, but it was like
Speaker 1: a great experience of like it was a match set
Speaker 1: up outdoors in a mall parking lot. It was this weird,
Speaker 1: like surreal like carnival atmosphere. I don't know, it was
Speaker 1: just like a cool thing I never would have, like,
Speaker 1: you know, experienced if I was one calling the shots.
Speaker 2: Right right right and good good fight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it was. It was I don't know,
Speaker 1: something was happening where all of the fights ended in draws,
Speaker 1: which I don't I don't know if that's totally on
Speaker 1: the up and up, Like draws seem to be pretty
Speaker 1: rare on the regular, so I don't know if, like
Speaker 1: theyre it was like unsanctioned, so they had to like
Speaker 1: pretend that they were all draws, so nobody like took
Speaker 1: a L. It was. It was a smoker, it was.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a sanctioned fight.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like whenever people at gyms invite you to
Speaker 2: watch them fight, it's a smoker, right or an unsanctioned fight.
Speaker 1: It felt a little bit more sanctioned, a little bit
Speaker 1: more like on the up and up, but they did
Speaker 1: every one of them was a draw, so you know,
Speaker 1: everybody got a participation TRUP.
Speaker 2: It feels like, Yeah, that almost feels like a like
Speaker 2: an improv show when you do an improv class, But
Speaker 2: for like boxing, it's like, hey, you come, even if
Speaker 2: you take an L, the judges aren't going to say
Speaker 2: you took a L unless you get knocked the fuck out,
Speaker 2: in which case we can't really help you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But like on the other side of like things,
Speaker 1: I took my kid on a like we do these
Speaker 1: little twilight walks, and we did a bird watching which
Speaker 1: I think I've always like instinctively rejected because I don't
Speaker 1: want to feel ninety years old. But we were just
Speaker 1: like we were just like, let's find five different birds.
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can see five different birds. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to like, we're not going to look up
Speaker 1: what the birds are. We're going to make up the
Speaker 1: names for the different birds. You know, like a thing
Speaker 1: that I would have been too embarrassed to tell you
Speaker 1: that I did typically, But I don't know, man going
Speaker 1: bird watching there's a reason the elderly or so into
Speaker 1: it because you just like start to like, first of all,
Speaker 1: you have to like listen to them. To find the
Speaker 1: different birds, you have to like listen for them. And
Speaker 1: then you're just like paying attention to different parts of
Speaker 1: your like surroundings, like different You're you're looking up into trees,
Speaker 1: You're looking up like you're just seeing different parts of
Speaker 1: like your neighborhood that you've walked through a hundred times,
Speaker 1: but you're like seeing it through new eyes when you
Speaker 1: do it. So I recommend a find five birds bird
Speaker 1: watching walk with a kid, But were you just being like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a pigeon like that and that is a spare
Speaker 1: Oh we saw two hummingbirds. I was pretty excited about that.
Speaker 1: So we saw one that was just yellow that we
Speaker 1: some pretty places. But yeah, it was it was a blast.
Speaker 1: And then like we saw that same bird later in
Speaker 1: the week, so it gave us something to talk about.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I see birds a lot. Yeah, just big
Speaker 1: dead energy.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a you should there's a spot like
Speaker 2: you'd go to, like when you're like a cub scout.
Speaker 2: I remember in La where like you see so many
Speaker 2: birds and ship. Yeah, like up and up near Pasadena.
Speaker 1: Anyway, there's a house hummingbird feeder in our neighborhood that
Speaker 1: is just swarming. It's just loud with those suckers. Those
Speaker 1: things are really cool. I mean, my real underrated for
Speaker 1: all time as hummingbirds, right, what uh? What's something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Just to that point, when I'm high and I see
Speaker 2: a hummingbird, I try and get my slow motion video
Speaker 2: camera out so quick. Yeah, I have like eighteen videos
Speaker 2: of hummingbirds. Like he's still got and I'm like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I can really see how fast it goes
Speaker 2: when you put the slow motion camera on.
Speaker 1: I'm so the worst videos on my phone are attempts
Speaker 1: at taking a video of a hummingbird and slow bush.
Speaker 1: Never catch them, never catch them. My kids are now like,
Speaker 1: get the camera out, go, let's do let's do slow motion.
Speaker 1: It's a tiny dot flying away all right. Overrated? You
Speaker 1: got an overrated overrated.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's overrated or under I saw
Speaker 2: the Village People, Okay, so I saw Cool in the Gang.
Speaker 2: Cool in the Gang are fucking amazing, you know, the
Speaker 2: seminal artists like the Cool you know, the original Cool
Speaker 2: who's on base now just legends and all their their
Speaker 2: whole catalog is fucking hits. That's what I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I know what I'm gonna get with Cool in the Gang.
Speaker 2: Especially when they did like a ten minute version of
Speaker 2: Summertime and everybody was just soloing, and I was like, oh, yes,
Speaker 2: please go, go go. But the Village People opened right,
Speaker 2: and I was like, this will be fun for like
Speaker 2: a laugh, you know, like what's up with the Village
Speaker 2: People like And in my mind, I'm like, okay, they
Speaker 2: got three songs Ymca, Macho Man in the Navy. That's
Speaker 2: like all I can say, like off top of like
Speaker 2: the songs that I really remember. Let me tell you something,
Speaker 2: I was not prepared for how bummed out I was
Speaker 2: going to be by seeing the Village People. First of all,
Speaker 2: like I forget really that the Village People was like
Speaker 2: one guy who actually did the singing, and then like
Speaker 2: animatronic dudes and costumes behind.
Speaker 1: Is that real?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the Cowboy, the bikers, they.
Speaker 1: Don't say they were just like, yeah, they were just
Speaker 1: people that in costume. They were just in costume Disney characters.
Speaker 2: I also had no idea that like they were like
Speaker 2: a they were created basically by French producers. So I
Speaker 2: was like, okay, I didn't realize any like the background
Speaker 2: of it. But the main singer has been like the
Speaker 2: same guy, this dude, Victor Willis, and he came out
Speaker 2: he's seventy two years old, and God bless him. I
Speaker 2: thought he was going to pass out up there because
Speaker 2: like he would be like h navy like really like
Speaker 2: he would have to gather his like like breath to
Speaker 2: hit some of these notes. And then like the depictions
Speaker 2: of the people, they still got that Native American up
Speaker 2: there Wow, the wild like the most flagrant offensive, motherfucking costume.
Speaker 2: When they introduced the band, like the lead singer came
Speaker 2: out last. The first village person came out was a
Speaker 2: Native American. Wow. And I was like I was groaning.
Speaker 2: And then the other like older people who are there
Speaker 2: for like the vibes are like, oh yes, so I
Speaker 2: remember you, and then like everybody in the background. I
Speaker 2: don't know how the people are cast anymore because it's
Speaker 2: not they're not older, like they're all younger dudes.
Speaker 3: Like okay, Like it's like a hot cowboy now.
Speaker 2: Like the biker was so buff he couldn't dance, and
Speaker 2: it was like and he was fucking up the choreography.
Speaker 2: Like there's a part where in the Navy goes they
Speaker 2: want you, they want you, they want you, and they're
Speaker 2: so clue.
Speaker 3: There's like this clapping part.
Speaker 2: Right, this could not do the clapping and it was
Speaker 2: fucking him up so bad. I was like oh no, no,
Speaker 2: no, no no no. It felt like a Darren Aronofsky movie basically,
Speaker 2: where I was like, what is happening after the lights
Speaker 2: go down and they take those costumes off?
Speaker 3: Who are these people?
Speaker 1: Right? So it's Native American cop, cowboy, cowboy and construction Yeah,
Speaker 1: cowboys always been there, biker construction worker? Is that the ya?
Speaker 2: And then a guy like in a military uniform, like
Speaker 2: an officer, and which was hilarious because that's dude. The
Speaker 2: dude who played the officer. He was like this older
Speaker 2: black guy who looked over it like he was like, man,
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm still doing this shit here, like
Speaker 2: he his energy was like foul, but like he was
Speaker 2: still you know, it was still a gig. And there
Speaker 2: was a moment where he comes up to introduce the
Speaker 2: other village people while the lead singer took a rest,
Speaker 2: and the first words out of this dude who's about
Speaker 2: to do like he's like, I just want to introduce everybody,
Speaker 2: but before I do that, I just want to say
Speaker 2: I love you to my wife out there in the audience.
Speaker 2: I've been with her for twenty years. I was like, wow,
Speaker 2: this guy had to just underline his heterosexuality with like
Speaker 2: a fucking sharp Oh yeah, yeah he came first, and
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, so I'm married to a woman, but anyway,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a soldier.
Speaker 3: Let's give a shout out.
Speaker 2: To our biker and everything. But Yeah. It's wild though
Speaker 2: to see Ymcie go off live and then like even
Speaker 2: Cool in the game.
Speaker 1: Ymcie go off live.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like but to see like the village people
Speaker 2: do YMCA and Cool in the Gang do celebration, you
Speaker 2: feel like you're on like the most potent cruise ship
Speaker 2: performance ever because I was like, but it's the real
Speaker 2: people doing it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was exciting that, like there is some
Speaker 1: weird conservative code, like the fact that there's still a cop,
Speaker 1: the fact that there's like a military officer. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that was just if that was ironic in
Speaker 1: the seventies or what was happening.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, it's like a nod to like
Speaker 2: Greenwich Village and like the gay neighborhood there, and I
Speaker 2: think maybe just say like yo, like you know this,
Speaker 2: this is what everybody constructs.
Speaker 1: Everybody, everybody cowboy. My overrated is just smoke detector technology
Speaker 1: feels like not that I don't think we should use
Speaker 1: smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, but I just feel
Speaker 1: like the tech industry has been iterating on smartphones for years.
Speaker 1: There's like a new like smartphone with the minor feature
Speaker 1: upgrade that like gets announced, like why do smoke detectors
Speaker 1: still have one button? And like we got woken up
Speaker 1: at five this morning by like three shrill blasts from
Speaker 1: our smoke detector, went up, checked it. That was not
Speaker 1: one of the options, right, you know, it was like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, four blasts carbon monoxide problem, three blasts, Uh, nothing,
Speaker 1: that's not on there, and like persistent beeping it's.
Speaker 3: A fire, get out of the house.
Speaker 1: It just it feels like we've been working with the
Speaker 1: same smoke detectors since I was a child. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it's it's the means of communication is still like morse code.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, just shrieky beeps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shrieky beeps.
Speaker 2: And which is weird too because we see how how
Speaker 2: used to the low battery beep Americans get used to.
Speaker 2: Myself included when I was in college, I remember like
Speaker 2: one of my first apartments, I think I lived there
Speaker 2: for it took like a romantic interest to like point
Speaker 2: it out and be like really questioned me about it
Speaker 2: that I was like, oh, yeah, this is like I'm
Speaker 2: fucking up by not get it's.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most revealing things about
Speaker 1: like the human mind is that our ability to get
Speaker 1: used to smoke detector beeps, because like somebody who lives
Speaker 1: at the place, who's hearing it all day every day,
Speaker 1: it just does not exist for them. We can get
Speaker 1: used to everything.
Speaker 2: I remember I noticed once when it stopped beeping, like wait,
Speaker 2: what the fuck? And I was like, oh shit, the
Speaker 2: battery really went out, Like I feel I can't even do.
Speaker 3: The death beep. Yeah, please somebody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, like in Europe, I think it's they're they're
Speaker 2: required in most countries. I wonder if there's like, are
Speaker 2: other countries doing it better?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, is it why why have
Speaker 1: we just stopped with this one model? Maybe maybe maybe
Speaker 1: they've looked into it and they're like, no, this is
Speaker 1: this is the best one. But I think there's also
Speaker 1: like something with like radiation in there. So maybe maybe
Speaker 1: it's just you don't want to fuck with it too much.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, I know special disposal that you're supposed
Speaker 1: to do when your your smoke detector is done.
Speaker 2: In Espanya, they're not obligated to have one legally.
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah damn, we'll look at that. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: they're more.
Speaker 2: Like I don't know. I mean, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: Is there I don't.
Speaker 2: If I'm like, what is most futuristic way it's to
Speaker 2: solve a fire issue, and it's probably just have like
Speaker 2: automatic sprinklers if you didn't want to.
Speaker 1: Have to keep a canary in every room in your house.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, canary in every room.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back and get into some of the news from the weekend.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back, and we got
Speaker 1: some election updates for you folks.
Speaker 2: A lot happening or not happening of consequence, I guess.
Speaker 2: But uh, let's see, we'll talk about Ron the Santist,
Speaker 2: Joe Mansion RFK. Let's talk about Ron Ron the meatball rode.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 2: So he is switching things up early in his campaign
Speaker 2: because after an out like those Fox News appearances, and
Speaker 2: they don't and they don't stop either. They're like, wow, like,
Speaker 2: why is it that you're fucking up so bad? Like
Speaker 2: those appearances have not ceased. But yeah, ever since he
Speaker 2: announced in May, the whole candidacy has just been a long,
Speaker 2: slow fart, which is, like, I guess, noticeable because it's
Speaker 2: long and slow, but again not much to talk about
Speaker 2: because it is a fart at the end of the day. Uh,
Speaker 2: numbers that people will get used to, you know, yeah exactly,
Speaker 2: like like a smoke detective.
Speaker 1: Farts every minute on the minute. That's what I That's
Speaker 1: how I've found to deal with my flash. Once people
Speaker 1: just you know get used to it, it becomes their back.
Speaker 1: They set their watch, they set their watch to the farts.
Speaker 1: But poll numbers have been falling.
Speaker 2: The donations have been drying up a bit from the
Speaker 2: big fish apparently, like the biggest hole. Like when you
Speaker 2: look at his fundraising and it shows like where the
Speaker 2: energy is. He has barely any small dollar donations, Like
Speaker 2: it's it's like the thousands of dollars and up because uh,
Speaker 2: those people are currently getting their money stolen by Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: who has a strangle.
Speaker 3: Like his average is.
Speaker 2: Like thirty three dollars Trump's so he's got from yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: like that's like the Yeah, our.
Speaker 1: Theory is that like he's always been kind of a
Speaker 1: mainstream media are like my theories that he's always been
Speaker 1: a mainstream media creation. That is, like they they liked
Speaker 1: the idea of this, they needed somebody to be like
Speaker 1: what if Trump but smart, but like he's just not
Speaker 1: very popular with yeah, with like he doesn't have the
Speaker 1: you know, support on the ground, he doesn't have the
Speaker 1: boots he's.
Speaker 2: And he's doubling down like the culture warship that's like
Speaker 2: really putting a lot of people off because Rupert Murdoch
Speaker 2: of Fox was famously like really into the idea of
Speaker 2: getting DeSantis in there instead of true And.
Speaker 1: Now they're going to turn on him because they've they've
Speaker 1: officially given up and they're like, yeah, he's like your meatball.
Speaker 2: Rob. I'm sorry, dude, you're also like destroying your own state,
Speaker 2: like to spite people outside of the state, which makes
Speaker 2: no sense. Like for all the records that he talts of,
Speaker 2: like yeah, Florida is the fastest growing, it's like it's
Speaker 2: actually shedding the most people of any state, especially when
Speaker 2: he look at younger people. But now apparently Murdoch wants
Speaker 2: Glenn Younkin, the governor from Virginia, to maybe take a
Speaker 2: stab at it. Okay, So anyway this has led to
Speaker 2: meet pau Rob. He's cutting staff, he's changing up his
Speaker 2: media strategy, which I guess means he's expanding his outreach
Speaker 2: beyond like the right wing echo chamber. He's talking to
Speaker 2: CNN now, so well, I'm sure those appearances will be
Speaker 2: real fucking interesting when he goes on a like slightly
Speaker 2: less right wing network where a journalist might ask a question.
Speaker 1: So I mean they yeah, I mean, it's always made
Speaker 1: sense that he would like kind of temper all the
Speaker 1: right far right wing shit and like try and be
Speaker 1: the like leftward tacking candidate. So maybe that is what
Speaker 1: he's gonna do when he like goes on CNN. But
Speaker 1: I can't imagine like CNN is gonna just not ask
Speaker 1: him questions about all the or that fucking fun video
Speaker 1: shit he's doing.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be like, sir, what's up with that video.
Speaker 1: Happen there?
Speaker 2: Because now like you're seeing like there's like some dark
Speaker 2: money group spending money to advertise Trump as a trans trailblazer.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, And I'm like that sounds like a hit
Speaker 2: from the right that I've seen from the DeSantis crew,
Speaker 2: and you know, it doesn't seem to be getting you
Speaker 2: any kind of traction. Thank god.
Speaker 1: Turns out people don't give that much of a shit
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: That's just right. Yeah, yeah, Joe Manchin not much to
Speaker 2: say here, but he is making candidate type noises and
Speaker 2: he's going to be in New Hampshire tonight Monday, where
Speaker 2: he's said to address members of the No Labels organization.
Speaker 2: Oh that has just made up of establishment hacks from
Speaker 2: both parties, but they're clearly there to represent the interests
Speaker 2: of like some very wealthy people. And they say they
Speaker 2: keep doing this thing. We're like, we're not going to
Speaker 2: be a spoiler. We would never do that. That's what
Speaker 2: we're trying to do. If the pole, like we just
Speaker 2: see that both parties are really dissatisfied with the options
Speaker 2: they have going into November twenty twenty four, and look,
Speaker 2: if the pole shows that our candidacies or one of
Speaker 2: our candidates or our candidate is going to split the
Speaker 2: vote for either party, we're going to refrain. We're going
Speaker 2: to pull out. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: So what I mean that seems to be them saying,
Speaker 1: like the whole reason for us, like our any power
Speaker 1: that we have, if we find ourselves wielding that power
Speaker 1: in any way, we will completely pull out. So they are,
Speaker 1: you know, not being totally honest. I think the No
Speaker 1: Lebel organization, which is shocking coming from a party, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Lieberman Boys for boys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also like, this is my theory, is that
Speaker 2: what they're gonna do is probably just they're just going
Speaker 2: to try and get concessions from Democrats. They're not going
Speaker 2: to get it from Republicans. They're gonna just the only.
Speaker 3: People who are like, what about what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: It's the DNC. And if they see Joe Manchin getting
Speaker 2: any kind of numbers, especially in places that might be tough,
Speaker 2: you know, like like an Arizona or something like that,
Speaker 2: for then that's probably going to be a way to
Speaker 2: subtly be.
Speaker 3: Like, maybe you need to move to.
Speaker 2: The right a little bit more with some of these policies.
Speaker 2: But we'll see, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: And then we have RFK Junior who had a bad dinner.
Speaker 1: That dinner where the guy the two guys got into
Speaker 1: a shouting match and then one of them started farting,
Speaker 1: really farting, farting to like punctuate the argument well.
Speaker 3: About climate change.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, remember he got up said that the guy was
Speaker 2: being serious about climate change, and the one farting wanted
Speaker 2: climate change to.
Speaker 1: Be climate conspiracy hopes is what he wanted it addressed us,
Speaker 1: and he's now farting. So it turns out the fart
Speaker 1: based fight wasn't the worst moment that evening, because The
Speaker 1: New York Post published a video taken from the dinner
Speaker 1: in which Kennedy rants about ethnically targeted bio weapons, suggesting
Speaker 1: that COVID nineteen is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean here, let's we should just want
Speaker 2: this video, Like, luckily we have a human being sitting
Speaker 2: right next to RFK where we can gauge his facial
Speaker 2: reactions to just see if he's lost the room at
Speaker 2: all with this rant about bioweapons. Here, it's not bioweapons.
Speaker 4: I know a lot now about bioweapons because I'm doing
Speaker 4: a book on it for the past two and a half.
Speaker 4: Gears and uh and you know what, we the technology
Speaker 4: that we now have, all of these microbes we have,
Speaker 4: we have put hundreds of millions dollars into ethnically targeted
Speaker 4: microbes the Chinese.
Speaker 1: I'm the same thing.
Speaker 4: In fact, COVID nineteen, there's an argument that it is
Speaker 4: ethnically targeted. COVID nineteen attacked certain races.
Speaker 2: I'm disproportionally Dude, this guy is left in the now.
Speaker 2: He's now in his squinting eyes space. He first when
Speaker 2: he said ethnically targeted, he his eyes went up like huh.
Speaker 2: And now he's narrowing his eyes like the funk you're
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 3: Willis the.
Speaker 4: Races that are most of you immune to come in
Speaker 4: maintain are because of the structure a few of the
Speaker 4: genetic structure genetic differentials among different races.
Speaker 5: Of the of the receptors struggling is he does he
Speaker 5: compan is targeted to attack Caucasians and and and.
Speaker 3: All black people.
Speaker 4: The people who are most men are a Jews and
Speaker 4: and Chinese and but you don't know what the plau.
Speaker 2: Okay, so COVID was targeting, like is apparently the people
Speaker 2: immune to COVID or Ashkenazi Jews and the Chinese.
Speaker 3: Oh that's means to me, motherfucker.
Speaker 1: So that's what Wow, unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think a lot of people have been
Speaker 2: writing they're like for all the conspiracy theories that this
Speaker 2: man dabbles in, were like people were really surprised, like
Speaker 2: when does when does anti Semitism come up? Because that's
Speaker 2: like that's the foundation of so many conspiracy theories like
Speaker 2: they always bend towards they always go back to anti semitary.
Speaker 2: You may leave the station, it's like a loop, you know,
Speaker 2: like you made the anti anti semitism station, may have
Speaker 2: been behind you, but when you come back around, you're
Speaker 2: going to hit that one eventually.
Speaker 1: And a big tour around the conspiracy theories where you're
Speaker 1: telling people I don't have an anti Semitic bone in
Speaker 1: my body.
Speaker 2: And then you're saying that the Chinese and the Jews
Speaker 2: are immune to COVID nineteen. Yeah, notice that, oh whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 2: And he's like pointy. So then now people rightfully are like,
Speaker 2: what in the fuck are.
Speaker 1: You talking about?
Speaker 2: Because like many people, I'll tell you, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: as far as we know, documented a million Chinese people
Speaker 2: have died of COVID. I'm not sure where that immunity
Speaker 2: comes from it or what he's referring to.
Speaker 3: But he's like, they got it all wrong. You guys
Speaker 3: are misconstruing my words.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He later defended his comments and said, like, I've
Speaker 1: never ever suggested that COVID nineteen virus was targeted to
Speaker 1: spare Jews. I mean, we just heard what he said,
Speaker 1: like I don't know if he knew he did that,
Speaker 1: but that I don't know if he planned to do that,
Speaker 1: but that's certainly what came out of his mouth. He
Speaker 1: also like does the thing like he seems to be
Speaker 1: talking with his eyes closed a lot of the time,
Speaker 1: like he's just like looking for the words inside him.
Speaker 1: Yea too, And it's I don't know, I don't think
Speaker 1: he's a serious presidential candidate, Miles. After seeing this video,
Speaker 1: I'm starting to have my doubts.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I agree with him on a couple things,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna I'm gonna put these other heinous statements
Speaker 2: out of them.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, do your own research, do your own research.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like that that whole defense what he like
Speaker 2: just doubles down because he's like, it's actually more groups.
Speaker 2: There's also ethnic fins that are also immune.
Speaker 1: Like, what the hell are you saying he exploited this
Speaker 1: off the record conversation to smear me by association? Oh
Speaker 1: so it was off the record, So this is just
Speaker 1: how you talk when you don't think the media is
Speaker 1: paying attention. So that makes it better or that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Tell, I mean, what's off the truth about.
Speaker 1: What your what your ultimate goal is here.
Speaker 3: You're a you're at a fundraising. It's so funny.
Speaker 2: You remember how people were saying, like too, like while
Speaker 2: the whole fart thing was going on, like I was
Speaker 2: just really calm and just kind of like laid back. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like I wonder if that's just him, Like he he
Speaker 2: does have this like sort of reclined let me close
Speaker 2: my eyes, Mike Pen's kind of thing going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, where he's just disassociating from the world around him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and absolutely, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey we we we all do what we can
Speaker 1: to disassociate from the world around us. But this, uh,
Speaker 1: closing your eyes and then spouting anti semitic Uh.
Speaker 2: This whole thing is just like he's I'm just saying.
Speaker 2: It's just saying that I saw a report that there
Speaker 2: is such a thing as a targeted bio weapon, right, Okay,
Speaker 2: And then that's so ipso facto.
Speaker 1: The juice are immune to COVID like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: But there he is. Cheryl Hines is come get your man's.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take one more break and we'll be
Speaker 1: right back. And we're back. And I mean, the big
Speaker 1: story over the weekend was heat waves completely fucking up
Speaker 1: the United States over the last week, continuing to continue
Speaker 1: to fuck up the entire globe.
Speaker 2: Yeah everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Miles, you were pointing out something that is
Speaker 1: a really good point. The pictures that they show with
Speaker 1: this devastation look a lot. They look fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I so like over the I remember even last summer,
Speaker 2: and like just the lead up to this summer, there
Speaker 2: are a lot of things where it's like tips on
Speaker 2: how to beat the heat. Like there's stuff like that
Speaker 2: that I mean, like here's how like the people that
Speaker 2: live in Madrid deal with their sweltering summers, and it's
Speaker 2: just like basically being like, yeah, don't go outside when
Speaker 2: it's fucking hot. Yeah, just you know, be careful with yourself.
Speaker 2: Like then when it gets a little bit cooler, then
Speaker 2: maybe do some outdoors ship but your body can't really
Speaker 2: handle it. And then like you saw like engineers talking
Speaker 2: about how to make like your fans work more efficiently
Speaker 2: or blow cooler air, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3: And it was weird.
Speaker 2: Because the thing grumbling like beneath the surface of all
Speaker 2: this stuff is the climate is changing and we're expecting
Speaker 2: the highest temperatures we've ever seen ever, and Molly Taffed
Speaker 2: at The New Republic pointed out something that like I
Speaker 2: also failed to connect, like of like around all this
Speaker 2: like sort of like fun sort of energy around these
Speaker 2: heat waves is like, yeah, the news is absolutely like
Speaker 2: ill equipped to talk about this. Like when there are
Speaker 2: fires or storms, we see this intense imagery of shit
Speaker 2: burning and fucking flooding and like all this catastrophic shit
Speaker 2: that they love to broadcast because that's you know, it's
Speaker 2: the sensational aspect of broadcast news. But then when you
Speaker 2: when it comes to heat waves, all you see is
Speaker 2: shit like people at the beach or like kids playing
Speaker 2: with hoses, like open fire hydrants, like fun shit rather
Speaker 2: than like shit slick shit, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: That's when you come here during a climate crisis, well,
Speaker 2: I'll post other things that'll distract you, Like.
Speaker 1: I mean, just for context, extreme heat is the deadliest
Speaker 1: weather related event in the United States. It kills more
Speaker 1: people than tornadoes or hurricanes come right. Federal agencies report
Speaker 1: about seven hundred Americans die each year from extreme heat,
Speaker 1: but some studies estimate that figure could be closer to
Speaker 1: one thy three hundred deaths a year. Hell yeah, because
Speaker 1: you know it's knocking out power grids. It's you know, and.
Speaker 2: What like what it does to your body if you
Speaker 2: like go into like a you know, like get heat
Speaker 2: stroke or something like that. So you know, the the
Speaker 2: the energy is very it does not match what the
Speaker 2: situation is because rather than you know, depicting accurately depicting
Speaker 2: the situation where like the poor, immunal, compromised, elderly and
Speaker 2: like workers are like living in this like fucked up world,
Speaker 2: like to just show like, yeah, people are staying cool
Speaker 2: at the.
Speaker 1: All the if all the pictures from like tornado or
Speaker 1: hurricane hurricanes were of people like in shelters, like like
Speaker 1: fun stuff to do in your basement. Yeah, fun like
Speaker 1: playing bingo with their grandparents in the basement.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, what about what's happening outside there?
Speaker 3: Oh it's all fucked up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's bad out there. It's really bad. But yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's like not that photo photographable, like the devastation
Speaker 1: is not there.
Speaker 2: Because it's so it's not again, because otherwise you'd have
Speaker 2: to really like reckon with that and do a story
Speaker 2: about like elderly people who their fucking power goes out
Speaker 2: and they're left to die essentially, uh, and they don't
Speaker 2: want to do that, so it's like we completely do
Speaker 2: this other thing. Media Matters did an analysis of like
Speaker 2: just the coverage of the heat wave in Texas earlier
Speaker 2: in the month. Only five percent of national TV news
Speaker 2: segments even uttered the words climate change. Right, it's just like, oh, wow,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a really hot summer. I guess, like,
Speaker 2: what are what the fuck are we doing? And there's
Speaker 2: clearly a relationship between like our own inability as human
Speaker 2: beings and like society to like have a reckoning with
Speaker 2: our ecological situation and the media's. But like we're also
Speaker 2: kind of getting another example of like how insulated those
Speaker 2: rooms are. Like I guess like literally at this point too,
Speaker 2: that they're living in a world where the answer to
Speaker 2: record breaking heat is probably more like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: hit the beach or just turn the AC on, rather
Speaker 2: than like there are people who cannot do that, there
Speaker 2: are people who cannot afford to do that, There are
Speaker 2: people who are not even being considered when all of
Speaker 2: this shit is happening. So yeah, a little bit of
Speaker 2: a grim aspect to like everything we were seeing over
Speaker 2: the weekend.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, well that there's also the Death Valley tourists.
Speaker 1: Did you see, Like that was a big set, like
Speaker 1: how they chose to do it, because like if you
Speaker 1: if you want to show the danger, you have to
Speaker 1: show like idiots walking into the danger willingly. So it
Speaker 1: became like a a thing that people were seeking out.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how widespread this is. This
Speaker 1: could be like a dozen Instagram and no people people
Speaker 1: I know, people.
Speaker 2: Who come from like Japan and are like I really
Speaker 2: want to go to Death Valley just to feel I
Speaker 2: think just it's the hardually because like they want to
Speaker 2: see because there are some cool stuff to see there,
Speaker 2: like you're in a photography, but also it is like
Speaker 2: part of it. It's like it really gets that hot there.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people just it's we have
Speaker 2: that morbid fascination on some level. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So one thing the media does do they do always
Speaker 1: call the heat waves punishing, So yeah, at least they
Speaker 1: let us know we are being biblically punished for our
Speaker 1: bad behavior.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, sorry God, sorry God, sorry.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's become a tourist hotspot with people who
Speaker 1: are like going there and trying to take a picture
Speaker 1: in front of the thermometer as it records the apocalypse Likes,
Speaker 1: there's I guess the record. The world record for like
Speaker 1: the hottest point in the history of the planet is
Speaker 1: in Death Valley. It was measured in nineteen thirteen at
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty four degrees. But then people, the
Speaker 1: real heads are like, that guy.
Speaker 3: Was making it up.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a real webn't a real hottest point in
Speaker 1: the history of the earth, wet brain, if you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, you knew, And yeah, So a lot
Speaker 1: of people believe that the weather observer at that time
Speaker 1: fudged the numbers because you know, TV didn't exist and
Speaker 1: there was nothing else to do for fun, right right right,
Speaker 1: But it Yeah, in terms of reliably measured temperatures, the
Speaker 1: record is one hundred and thirty degrees, also set in
Speaker 1: Death Valley in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. Also
Speaker 1: there's a picture of an influencer taking a selfie in
Speaker 1: front of one that says one hundred and thirty one
Speaker 1: degrees fahrenheit. So I don't know if that thermometer is
Speaker 1: not accurate or what.
Speaker 2: That must be. Also, like that's I get, like the
Speaker 2: like you want to flick it up and demonstrate they're
Speaker 2: in the hottest place on earth. I've I remember when
Speaker 2: I used to do like production. I shot a music
Speaker 2: video and Death Valley that wasn't even like the summer yet,
Speaker 2: it was like like May, And I remember opening the
Speaker 2: door like at two p like you know when you
Speaker 2: can touch the windows and like the windows are fucking hot.
Speaker 1: Shit, yeah, it's like an oven door.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'm like almost burned my elbow on the
Speaker 2: fucking window. And I remember I opened the door and
Speaker 2: how oppressive the heat was. The last thing I want
Speaker 2: to do is go fucking take a picture. I was
Speaker 2: like so overwhelmed. It was punishing, like to being someone
Speaker 2: that's like one hundred and one hundred and fifteen plustic.
Speaker 2: No no, no.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the uh someone dying a real tall thermometer there too?
Speaker 2: Or did that go? Oh there's one on the drive
Speaker 2: to uh to Vegas? Okay, yeah that's in Baker ba
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, Baker Baker has the big giant one.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the I think someone died last week in
Speaker 2: Death Valley, Oh yeah, because a tourist was trying to
Speaker 2: take a picture and they were just found in their
Speaker 2: fucking car. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, it's so dangerous, Like it will kill you so quickly.
Speaker 1: Temperatures at that level, Like the human body like is
Speaker 1: not meant to exist at temperatures that high without immediate relief. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so like you're really putting yourself in danger by going
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, sixty five your car is ability to
Speaker 1: like function in danger. Like cars aren't built to drive
Speaker 1: those temperatures because they haven't existed on Earth throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the history of the planets.
Speaker 2: And you're not like unless like a vulcanologist like designed
Speaker 2: it to be, like I build all these heat shields
Speaker 2: around it so like it can still function. It's bad.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this a man who's sixty five years old
Speaker 2: San Diego guy was found just apparently, you know, from
Speaker 2: dead from heat exposure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it is a very common way to go.
Speaker 1: It's very dangerous. Hopefully you know nobody is going out
Speaker 1: there and trying to flick it up. You can photoshop
Speaker 1: yourself into that.
Speaker 2: Picture if you want. Yeah, like I'll do it for you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and we can make it say anything. We say three
Speaker 2: thousand degrees if you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah. A couple follow ups a spartan may continues to
Speaker 1: be the sphinx riddle of our time. I think we
Speaker 1: talked on an episode last week about how there was
Speaker 1: this new World Health Organization study that seemed to like
Speaker 1: cut in two different directions. There was like one that
Speaker 1: was saying, you know, it could be linked to it
Speaker 1: is not a major concern at the doses which are
Speaker 1: commonly used, and they really focused on like the fact
Speaker 1: that if you are talking about drinking twelve diet cokes
Speaker 1: a day every day, like that could talk to us
Speaker 1: that could be bad. But then there was also another
Speaker 1: one that just like another World Health Organization linked agency
Speaker 1: that came out and said it was possibly carcinogenic. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. This just continues to be the sphinx
Speaker 1: riddle of our time because it's there there is no
Speaker 1: objective truth. I'm like, well, let's get below all the
Speaker 1: level layers of objective truth. But like all the studies
Speaker 1: are either funded by like I'm sure Big Sugar or
Speaker 1: Right or the or you know, the companies that are
Speaker 1: off of Aspartame. My wife and I have like a
Speaker 1: rolling conversation about aspartain because like, I still enjoy the
Speaker 1: occasional diet coke with the occasional you know, three diet
Speaker 1: coke day sprinkled in when I'm feeling particularly you know,
Speaker 1: little yeah, little zany. It's like that's usually what I drink.
Speaker 1: When we're like out and other people are drinking, I'll
Speaker 1: have a diet coke, but or pepsi dear God, oh god, Vegas.
Speaker 1: When we're in Vegas, so many diet pepsis, which di
Speaker 1: pepsi doesn't have aspartain. But wait it doesn't, but pepsi
Speaker 1: zero sugar does, which is that I don't know.
Speaker 2: We're so afflicted of these zero calorie drinks that like
Speaker 2: it's like there's seven kinds based on like how much
Speaker 2: caffeine or which chemicals you'd like or not, like to ingest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she thinks I should drink it never, which
Speaker 1: you know what I shouldn't. And she thinks I should
Speaker 1: listen to her because she's a.
Speaker 2: Doctor who specializes in carcinogenic sweets. Wait, but what's your
Speaker 2: counter to that? Like you're like, well, what should I be?
Speaker 2: You want to just drink straight up high fructose corncon
Speaker 2: so good?
Speaker 1: Is my count under?
Speaker 3: It just tastes so good?
Speaker 1: No, I think it's a So I was going off
Speaker 1: of you know that when when you look at the
Speaker 1: aspertame studies from like that really caused the backlash in
Speaker 1: like the eighties and nineties. It was based on giving
Speaker 1: the lab rats and the mice that they tested on
Speaker 1: just you know what would be the equivalent of so
Speaker 1: much you know, more aspartame than anyone is going to
Speaker 1: consume that I that I am like in danger of consuming,
Speaker 1: which seems to be. So that was why I was like, Haha,
Speaker 1: we we have a breakthrough on this one, because that
Speaker 1: seems to be the logic of you know, the agency
Speaker 1: that was like it's actually like you're you're probably fine,
Speaker 1: was like you would need to drink a twelve pack
Speaker 1: of diet coke every single day for the rest of
Speaker 1: your life for this to become the thing that they're
Speaker 1: talking about when they say it's a possible carcinogen. But
Speaker 1: the way the media has seemed to take those two
Speaker 1: studies is like there's a Vox story from over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I was will diet soda, yogurt, and cereal disappear from stores?
Speaker 1: And I can't tell if that's like big sugar, if
Speaker 1: that's like the anxiety media bias we talked about on
Speaker 1: last week's Tuesday episode. Or if those stories are right
Speaker 1: and it's a carcinogen, and why would you even fuck
Speaker 1: with it? And you know I'm just biased because I
Speaker 1: like to drink taste good. Yeah. Yeah, So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever getting to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2: If anybody has just get what the time to start
Speaker 2: doing cocaine like the rest of the planet, I know,
Speaker 2: for the rest of us, what the fuck like the
Speaker 2: next set, it's like, actually cocaine missed. It's actually better
Speaker 2: than a spar to.
Speaker 1: Me, it's actually pretty cool, pretty cool.
Speaker 2: It's put it in your uh, put in your DC.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I I I get it. Uh for those
Speaker 2: of us that have like a little treat that we
Speaker 2: like to indulge in, you know, sometimes it could be hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, just I guess don't drink twelve
Speaker 1: die cokes a day, uh every day, I think, is
Speaker 1: my takeaway, which I wasn't playing.
Speaker 2: You know someone's you know, someone's doing that out there though, too,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. H likeuse I seen dude,
Speaker 2: I used to I used to kick it with this
Speaker 2: one dude. This English dude who would keep a two
Speaker 2: liter bottle of coke next to his bed, Yeah, and
Speaker 2: like pound that shit through the night and like that
Speaker 2: all day. Like always had like that thang on him,
Speaker 2: and that thang was a two liter bottle of coke.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is so wild.
Speaker 1: Uh, like the double gulps, those like massive things they
Speaker 1: see in seven eleven's or like truckers kind of dry,
Speaker 1: like the things that are like the size of you know,
Speaker 1: you could keep a full aquarium alive inside of them.
Speaker 1: Those are fifty ounces, so you would have to drink
Speaker 1: two of those and then an additional twenty ounces of
Speaker 1: diet coke every day.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, that's yeah, that's too much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: never mind, I'm just gonna drink water. Nah, drink lobbies.
Speaker 3: Come on people, Yeah, where is the anti water lobby?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I guess it's just thoring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like big big agriculture technically, because they're like just
Speaker 2: just let us have it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And finally, Mickey Mouse is a scab full fucking
Speaker 1: new that scab.
Speaker 2: Fucking scab.
Speaker 1: So Oppenheimer's Red Carbon event and New York was canseled.
Speaker 1: Once SAG joined the WGA in striking and We're going
Speaker 1: to talk about that a little bit more on tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 1: But Disney decided to go full steam ahead with their
Speaker 1: lavish premiere for the Haunted Mansion. And since SAG strike
Speaker 1: deadlines or guidelines prohibit promotional activity, including premiers, none of
Speaker 1: the film stars could show up. So Tiffany Haddish, Lacky Stanfield,
Speaker 1: Danny DeVito, none of them can show up, but Mickey
Speaker 1: Mouse could go with Disney and Disney cast members, as
Speaker 1: they like to call them, are not actual cast members.
Speaker 1: They are employees of Disney, and so they're not SAG
Speaker 1: and so they just rounded up there, you know, the
Speaker 1: people that you would normally see at Disney World in.
Speaker 2: Disneyland, dystopian nightmare, Like yeah, the way that Variety was
Speaker 2: trying to seriously act like this was normal, they're like genius.
Speaker 2: The tweet, the fictional character Kuela de Ville has arrived
Speaker 2: at the hashtag Haunted Mansion premiere in Disneyland. Kruela is
Speaker 2: walking the red carpet and like opening her jacket as
Speaker 2: if she's been like and who are you wearing tonight?
Speaker 2: Kind of thing, and it's like this person who's just
Speaker 2: been like, man, I had to pull another shift just to.
Speaker 1: And she said, I didn't catch their names before I
Speaker 1: skinned them. Who am I wearing? That's a one Damatians joke?
Speaker 2: Is that from? Is that from the movie?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Oh, you just should be you embodied? You used Ai
Speaker 2: to write that your voice of brain AI And then
Speaker 2: like Mickey and Minnie were were in like Victorian Garb,
Speaker 2: like the fuck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very strange. I do think that this is
Speaker 1: probably like good for the writers and the strikers because
Speaker 1: now they can use an iconic character as the face
Speaker 1: of scabbing. Yeah so yeah, but like people think it
Speaker 1: might backfire on them for that reason, like a variety
Speaker 1: like clearly was hearing from Bob Iger and Bye Bigers
Speaker 1: people because they fully framed it up like this was
Speaker 1: a master stroke.
Speaker 2: It was not a l.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a big l sorry folks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, coming off the heels of Bob Igers like
Speaker 1: dickish comments about the strike at the end of last week.
Speaker 2: It's not realistic that they want more money.
Speaker 3: It's not realistic.
Speaker 1: They're just being unrealistic. It's a bad time for me.
Speaker 1: And he's like coming from like a mansion in Sun
Speaker 1: Valley or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sun Valley interesting pick.
Speaker 1: Isn't that where it is in Idaho? Oh?
Speaker 2: I thought there's a spot in the valley called Sun Valley,
Speaker 2: And I was like, bro, that I don't know about.
Speaker 2: So I don't know about that Sun Valley.
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes sense. So yeah and Idaho, Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: they really are.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I didn't realize that was the spot all
Speaker 2: the billionaires are going to right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're hanging out of Sun Valley. Uh, hell, hidden
Speaker 1: Valley ranch. That's as much as I like, I'm that
Speaker 1: aware of what Sun Valley is. I think it might
Speaker 1: be because wasn't that picture, like the Kristen Bell picture
Speaker 1: with all the famous like Friends cast members hanging out together.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that in Idaho? It was? It was like in
Speaker 1: the Great West, right, like in that in that area
Speaker 1: that seems to be where they've retreated. Wow.
Speaker 2: Also, this is another little tidbit coming from that, because
Speaker 2: like all these billionaires are getting together in Sun Valley
Speaker 2: and what they call like summer camp for billionaires. Warren
Speaker 2: Buffett's wife, Astrid Buffett, was heard quote complaining about the
Speaker 2: price of a cup of coffee at four dollars. Wow,
Speaker 2: I mean they're right, I mean yeah, they live. I've
Speaker 2: driven by his house in Omaha. It's like it looks
Speaker 2: like some shit you'd see a Hancock park, Like it's
Speaker 2: not like a fucking palatial estate or anything. And he like,
Speaker 2: I think he eats McDonald's breakfast all the day all
Speaker 2: the time, while he just hoards all his ungodly amounts
Speaker 2: of Well, so please be okay with this billionaire because
Speaker 2: he is cheaper than most, even though he has the
Speaker 2: same amount of money and doing the same kind of destruction.
Speaker 2: But apparently she said she could get a pound of
Speaker 2: coffee for that.
Speaker 1: Much money somewhere there you go, especially if you go
Speaker 1: right to the source and just fly down on your PJ. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, look at them as a couple, Like
Speaker 2: their outfits are not screaming money, not even stelp wealth,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like this is just motherfucker
Speaker 2: wearing dockers and shit, and she got like cargo pants
Speaker 2: on from two thousand and six.
Speaker 1: But they still go to the summer camp for billionaires.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I wonder if like people just make fun
Speaker 2: of them because they're just like I wonder what their
Speaker 2: outlook is. They're like, oh my god, they dressed so gaudy.
Speaker 2: I just want a cotton T shirt and some khakis.
Speaker 1: It's all simple things that'd be great if he were
Speaker 1: because like whoa, what he is wearing is actually like
Speaker 1: the rich guy thing to like be unassuming. Like if
Speaker 1: he wore like really gaudy, like huge labels, like a
Speaker 1: giant like Chanel logo on his like T shirt or
Speaker 1: something like print, that would be the way to like
Speaker 1: really upset the your fellow campers at camp. Oh.
Speaker 2: Also like if you want to just get torn down
Speaker 2: by like youth Twitter, some billionaire pulling up and some
Speaker 2: like real fucking designer garbs. Oh anyway, Yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: the Wizard of Omaha. Just keep it simple, man, stay
Speaker 2: in the shadows, bro.
