Speaker 1: before we get into the news, we do like get
Speaker 1: to know each other a little bit better. Let's get
Speaker 1: to know it by telling people some things we think
Speaker 1: is overrated on heread you want to kick us off
Speaker 1: with something over? Yeah, got let's go over.
Speaker 2: Do we do over first?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: We do over first? Right over Spicy Margarita's. Look, they're
Speaker 2: fucking everywhere now, every fucking where, and it's reached critical
Speaker 2: mass where I'm just saying, I'm sorry, I'm pat, I
Speaker 2: can't do this anymore. I was in Atlanta and Miami recently,
Speaker 2: and I dude, I'm not joking. I saw at least
Speaker 2: two restaurants that were explicitly advertising on the outside. Shit
Speaker 2: that was like, we have Spicy Margarita's, Like as if
Speaker 2: it's like we have Tamagatchi's, Like we have beanie babies.
Speaker 2: And I'm like that's fine. I mean, if you like
Speaker 2: a spicy margarita, fine, but I love spicy food. I
Speaker 2: remember in the beginning when spicy margarita's were a thing,
Speaker 2: I was like my go to. But then I'm just
Speaker 2: kind of like, yeah, all right, the the love has
Speaker 2: faded for the drink, and I'm just I think I'm
Speaker 2: just wanting to point out it's this is the new
Speaker 2: Moscow mule, you know, right, Moscow mules were everybody was
Speaker 2: fucking losing their shit over it, Like, dude, it comes
Speaker 2: in a cup. Dude, you got to give your ID
Speaker 2: because I guess people steal the cups. Yeah that was me.
Speaker 1: And you know, let's just real. They would take your idea.
Speaker 2: I got a lot of places if you ordered a
Speaker 2: Moscow Mule and they gave it to you in that
Speaker 2: copper mug, they would ask you for your ID as
Speaker 2: like a deposit, because yeah, people were just pocketing them
Speaker 2: because they were fun little copper things. And I remember
Speaker 2: for a while, like ten years ago, that was like
Speaker 2: the gift you would give people who were like into cocktail,
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, these are great Moscow mule mugs,
Speaker 2: great copper mugs.
Speaker 1: Here's a single Moscow mule mug. Yeah, for drinking Moscow
Speaker 1: mules at home by yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like him so much. A friend of mine. Uh,
Speaker 2: he did get me a It was kind of funny.
Speaker 2: It was it was a copper cup shaped as a
Speaker 2: solo cup because I was really in my Moscow mule
Speaker 2: phase and he's like, here's like the let's just complete
Speaker 2: the circle with this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The regular copper cups don't don't really work with
Speaker 1: your vibe. You're more of a solo guy. Yeah, more
Speaker 1: to so American.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mom brings out of a copper cup though,
Speaker 2: like every morning really has like a weird I don't know,
Speaker 2: it's like a thing I think people do. She's like,
Speaker 2: I'm sure some viby person who listens will be like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: copper copper cup water. I think it's probably pseudoscience, but
Speaker 2: she loves it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it helped me with the pH. pH balances
Speaker 1: your water, which is important. You know, you gotta make
Speaker 1: it make sure you're not drinking too much alkaline. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that's pseudo science.
Speaker 2: Alkaline alcalize your life.
Speaker 1: My overrated is the crow deterrent industry. There is a
Speaker 1: murder of crows I'm feuding with in my backyard. I've
Speaker 1: mentioned this particular murder of crows before. They have fucked
Speaker 1: up our are before. But we we recently put in
Speaker 1: like drought tolerant grasses to replace the regular grass in
Speaker 1: our backyard, and they've just taken to uprooting the plants. Like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like a gang of middle school kids who
Speaker 1: snuck out during a sleepover. They're just like pulling them up,
Speaker 1: leaving them there. Obri's bloout the grass. He fucking hates it.
Speaker 1: We'll probably see.
Speaker 2: Him in as weird underwear.
Speaker 1: Yeah when he comes out.
Speaker 2: Wait, they're just pulling up like the grasslings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the little grasslings like they put how do they yeah,
Speaker 1: how do they put that in? Like hair plugs basically, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: It looks like, yeah, it looks like we've got hair
Speaker 1: plugs in our backyard. And they've just like come through
Speaker 1: and they'll just like pull out a whole strip before
Speaker 1: I can like run out there. I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: sitting here like by the window, just being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't even fucking try it. Yeah, I hear you,
Speaker 1: because they're they're constantly calling back and forth. You know,
Speaker 1: but so this sent me down a rabbit hole of
Speaker 1: the whole at war with crows industry. We've done like
Speaker 1: the spinning shiny windmill thingies. Those are back up.
Speaker 2: We've also got a fake oal spinny shiny windmill.
Speaker 1: Thing yeah, yeah, you know the things that you like
Speaker 1: blow on and they really like. Yeah yeah, so that
Speaker 1: you had. There are like bigger ones of those that
Speaker 1: are shiny and allegedly they're supposed to keep the crows
Speaker 1: away that they haven't quite worked out for us just yet.
Speaker 2: Do they like they don't like shine? Is that the deal?
Speaker 1: I think it's just the movement makes them suspicious.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, I mean.
Speaker 1: Like there's they're supposedly very smart, but then the one
Speaker 1: piece of technology that we know of that is supposed
Speaker 1: to actually work on them is just a scarecrow, right,
Speaker 1: which seems seems like, I don't know, maybe it's wishful thinking,
Speaker 1: because yeah, they seem pretty smart, but so one of
Speaker 1: the one of the things that is available, it's actually
Speaker 1: like the top thing when you say for crow deternent
Speaker 1: is a fake dead crow that you put in your
Speaker 1: backyard upside down, what you like, hang from a tree
Speaker 1: upside down like some sort of fucking witch's curse.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the pictures all have it hanging or
Speaker 1: like sticking out of the ground, specifically upside down, which.
Speaker 2: Is like maybe signals it's like this most motherfucker dead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's also like just some wild pagan feeling
Speaker 1: shit that I feel like is going to affect the
Speaker 1: karma of my like great grandchildren.
Speaker 2: Like I know, look, I'm not proud of this. I
Speaker 2: used to fuck around with crows as a kid, like
Speaker 2: throw rocks at them and ship because I remember.
Speaker 1: When they met, like hang out with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to fuck with crows, bro, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. And then then I found part of
Speaker 2: a murder yeah called murder Inc. Back then, and I
Speaker 2: remember like I had this like I was angry at
Speaker 2: them because at the time, my pet dog was like
Speaker 2: dying and like you know, like when pets are like
Speaker 2: at that stage, like sometimes they just want to go
Speaker 2: in like a dark place and just like lay down somewhere.
Speaker 2: And I remember like, as that was happening, I didn't
Speaker 2: know what was going on, but like these crows were
Speaker 2: fucking with my dog when who was like in its
Speaker 2: last you know, she was on her last legs, and
Speaker 2: I was so angry, so then I took I remember
Speaker 2: taking my anger out on the crows after she passed away,
Speaker 2: when them be in my yard, like throw shit at them,
Speaker 2: and they fucking bro they remember, like they will buck
Speaker 2: back with you in the same way. And I told
Speaker 2: the story before my aunt in Japan, she used to
Speaker 2: take care of these crows that would hang out on
Speaker 2: her balcony and one time she had like a small
Speaker 2: grease fire like shot up in her kitchen when she
Speaker 2: was in the bathroom. They warned her. They like flew
Speaker 2: into her apartment and were.
Speaker 1: Like, get the fuck out.
Speaker 2: They were like, oh, she was like what came in
Speaker 2: the kitchen? Aha had to put luckily put it out.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like anything serious, but the crows legitimately looked
Speaker 2: out for her, and like then I was like, bro,
Speaker 2: you want these crows on your side. I don't know
Speaker 2: if like that's the best way, Like is there a
Speaker 2: way to have like a sit down with them, and like,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: We just need to have a man of the families
Speaker 1: because it's yeah, or like I need to offer them
Speaker 1: like that. It really feels like, you know, the shiny
Speaker 1: spinny things. The fake owl, the scarecrow is like at
Speaker 1: a level of technology that they scoff at h and
Speaker 1: they only speak the language of like curses and yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like like magic, there's like a true magic
Speaker 1: to crows. Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to go down that road, No,
Speaker 2: I do not. I don't like take the grass if
Speaker 2: that's gang. Please please give us better options than hanging
Speaker 2: a dead crow and effigy in his backyard.
Speaker 1: Right, I can't. I can't do that. I will we
Speaker 1: will not be doing that, is there?
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I feel like some some like you know,
Speaker 2: zany inventors, like I have an AI tracking system that
Speaker 2: will spray water at that like right to her mind.
Speaker 1: But there's also like one that supposedly works that's like
Speaker 1: a a tracker that like when they land a beloe
Speaker 1: inflates and that's supposed to freak him out. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the imagery, the symbolism of an upside down crow, it
Speaker 1: just feels like too dark.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just don't hanging black bodies from a tree.
Speaker 1: Just that's that. Yeah, Like I don't know, I.
Speaker 2: Don't, Yeah, like I wouldn't even like instantly, I'm like
Speaker 2: that's not gonna work.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna work for you. Yeah, because you don't.
Speaker 2: Need the crow Nina Simone coming out here and saying
Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, it's it's everybody loses in that scenario.
Speaker 1: So please, what is the way?
Speaker 2: I know, somebody, there's got to be some like there
Speaker 2: has to be a simpler way that's not so fucking
Speaker 2: creepy that will work with crows, Like not the only
Speaker 2: way is to like lynch it off your tree.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. No, No, what is what something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated?
Speaker 2: Underrated? Shooting film?
Speaker 1: Camera? Camera?
Speaker 2: Film? So I was I was that a birthday this weekend.
Speaker 2: I saw Demi digit eBay there and he was carrying
Speaker 2: a film camera taking little snaps here and there. And
Speaker 2: you know, as a son of a photographer, I'm always
Speaker 2: interested in talking to people about like their own photography.
Speaker 2: And this is nothing new. I feel like a lot
Speaker 2: of hit people they're shooting film now, whether it's like
Speaker 2: using like really cool full frame like film cameras or
Speaker 2: just like busted out that old Pentax that your fucking
Speaker 2: grandma gave you for a field trip. Like that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff is like definitely coming back as that aesthetic
Speaker 2: is you know, very in but like I was talking
Speaker 2: to him about like you know, like what you know,
Speaker 2: like what's going on. He was just talking about how
Speaker 2: much he enjoys the process of shooting film and developing
Speaker 2: his own film. He turned his bathroom into a dark
Speaker 2: room so like he can like develop like the film
Speaker 2: with the chemicals and shit and just really like you know,
Speaker 2: do it all from from top to bottom. And I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, that's like you know, we just take
Speaker 2: for granted how easy it is to take pictures. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but like we've also we're like also hostile towards the
Speaker 2: time it takes to develop film, even if you have
Speaker 2: to use an instant. Him like I don't want to
Speaker 2: take it to fucking rite aid and then get it
Speaker 2: there rat I can just shoot this or whatever. But
Speaker 2: like it's a in so many ways. Two main ways. First,
Speaker 2: you get tangible pictures that you can hold on to.
Speaker 2: Her Majesty has been a very big proponent of us.
Speaker 2: Like we take so many pictures on our phones, but
Speaker 2: like actually getting them printed and like making albums and
Speaker 2: like like hanging them on our wall like in the
Speaker 2: olden days when we were kids. And also just like
Speaker 2: you exercise a bit of patience and thought when you're
Speaker 2: taking it. Because on an iPhone, your camera phone, whatever,
Speaker 2: you take a picture, you can immediately look at what
Speaker 2: you took and you're like, noah, I don't like this,
Speaker 2: Like let's redo this. Da da da da. And with
Speaker 2: like taking like shooting on film, you have to really
Speaker 2: like commit to the frame and like you're like, that's
Speaker 2: what it is. I'll see what I get and you know,
Speaker 2: it is what it is. And sometimes it might not
Speaker 2: be perfect, but it might be more authentic. So I
Speaker 2: don't know, just like a subtle way, I was just
Speaker 2: thinking of like, yeah, that's a that's a that's a
Speaker 2: nice practice to have. It might not even be for
Speaker 2: the photography, but just to like do something that just
Speaker 2: that we sort of have sped up to the point
Speaker 2: that it's instant. I feel like read like taking back
Speaker 2: those kinds of processes, there is probably a good meditative
Speaker 2: practice just just to have patience and to be present.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, film it's good.
Speaker 1: It's good for people who don't have their eyes closed
Speaker 1: in like ninety percent of the pictures that the photo
Speaker 1: burst was a real game change of me because otherwise
Speaker 1: eyes closer. I'm an eyes closer.
Speaker 2: Oh man, Mariano Rivera over here, that's bringing the eyes closer.
Speaker 1: My underrated. The word fontanelle that just came came up conversationally,
Speaker 1: the word for the sauce spot on the top of
Speaker 1: a baby's head where you can see their heartbeat for
Speaker 1: like two to three months, yep. Which it's like one
Speaker 1: of the most horrifying things to contemplate. Yeah, but there's
Speaker 1: just this soft, unprotected spot on the top of the head.
Speaker 1: There's just like an eyelid over the end tire brain.
Speaker 1: It's just like it's not enough protection. Every time I
Speaker 1: see it on a baby, I have like if you
Speaker 1: ever like stood on the edge of like a building
Speaker 1: or something, and you're just like, I could, I could
Speaker 1: just jump off. The call of the void, yeah, the
Speaker 1: call of the void. The French have a word for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you get the call of the void looking
Speaker 2: at a sock.
Speaker 1: Spot, at a little sauce spot, you're just like, I mean, god, like,
Speaker 1: I just get weird like images that I don't I
Speaker 1: don't want to see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're opening a naval orange exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but oh god damn it, I'm sorry. The call
Speaker 1: of the void.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I also like to have a
Speaker 2: young baby who's I would look at the because I
Speaker 2: remember you talking about even before I had the kid,
Speaker 2: and I was always like, oh, God, like it just
Speaker 2: not that I have the desire, but I'm like, it's
Speaker 2: so vulnerable, Like why why why?
Speaker 1: I think it so my theory like it's a philosophically
Speaker 1: important feature, like design bug, because it requires us to
Speaker 1: be that much more loving to infants like that, that's
Speaker 1: how our species survived. Having babies that are that vulnerable,
Speaker 1: like adds the necessity of like more and more love
Speaker 1: to the human species to have made it through all
Speaker 1: that time of just like, God, I love this thing
Speaker 1: so much and it has just a fucking navel orange
Speaker 1: over the top of its brain. It's like going to Yeah,
Speaker 1: it has.
Speaker 2: Like a death Star week spot, like the Biggest Star week.
Speaker 1: Like everyone's like, why would the death Star have that.
Speaker 1: It's like, guys, we we are. We all have this
Speaker 1: star death Star exhaust pipe. It's much more open. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the whoever decided to name it Fontanelle, I know, it's
Speaker 1: just like it's the name of a douop group or
Speaker 1: like a cream colored city and from the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 1: You know, like it's just ooh that like fucked cellar
Speaker 1: door or whatever? Is that what Drew Barrymore said the
Speaker 1: most beautiful word in the English language cellar door in
Speaker 1: Donnie Darko. I feel like you know what the most
Speaker 1: beautiful word is. Anyways, I haven't seen beautiful.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the cannon of like white people college
Speaker 2: movies like I haven't seen Boondocks Saints or or Donnie Darko.
Speaker 1: Oh man boon Dock Saint. It's my favorite movie. Bro,
Speaker 1: I got I remember, and I was like, I'm watching
Speaker 1: BELLI right right, leave me alone. I have my shit.
Speaker 2: What I'm just as searching fontanella on Google. The second
Speaker 2: most asked question is what happens if you press on fontanelle?
Speaker 1: Oh no, guys, y'all don't.
Speaker 2: Don't.
Speaker 1: Although it is.
Speaker 2: It says they have thick and durable membranes just on
Speaker 2: your baby's scalp that protects our brain, So gently touching
Speaker 2: the fontanelle's won't hurt her. Don't tell people that.
Speaker 1: Right, it's actually pretty cool. You can you can't fuck
Speaker 1: it up?
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, no, we're off that fontanelle though it does
Speaker 2: not like a dessert.
Speaker 1: Also, doesn't it sound Yeah, there's like like a cream
Speaker 1: colored something. It's yeah, that's a really nice word.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't believe there's not a band called the Fontinelles, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it would be weird.
Speaker 2: It's truly like a mashup of French and Latin. Like,
Speaker 2: it's not like I wish there's some guy named doctor
Speaker 2: Fontinelle who was just like yeah, and don't hey, you guys,
Speaker 2: don't press on that.
Speaker 1: Right, just the coolest doctor of all time. He's just
Speaker 1: roller skates around from the little chains on, from baby
Speaker 1: delivery to baby delivery.
Speaker 2: Got down the side of his leg on his pants.
Speaker 1: Wow. All right, Uh, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back and talk news. And we're back. We're back,
Speaker 1: and seapack happened this past weekend. It just feels a
Speaker 1: good way to track, Like in the same way that
Speaker 1: you know, you see, you take pictures of a kid
Speaker 1: every birthday and you're like, oh, wow, look how much
Speaker 1: they've grown. Yeah, you check him with the conservatives every year.
Speaker 1: It's like fashion. You're like, but wow, it's fash fashion Week.
Speaker 1: Fash fashion Week. You're like, oh, here's what they got.
Speaker 2: This is what they got cooking up. These are the
Speaker 2: trends they're hopping on this year. We used to call
Speaker 2: it clan Shella. I think we've had a few different
Speaker 2: names for this, but yeah, it happened, and.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, so trends. The first thing that was like
Speaker 1: the I think this was like the kickoff speech, the
Speaker 1: keynote Jack from it. Jack Pasobiac came out and said,
Speaker 1: welcome to the end of democracy. We're here to overthrow
Speaker 1: it completely. We didn't get all the way there on
Speaker 1: January sixth, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.
Speaker 1: All Gloria is not to government. All Gloria is to God,
Speaker 1: which like at first it was like it sounded like
Speaker 1: he was joking, you know, right, but no, it seems
Speaker 1: like that he's just like they're straight up embracing like
Speaker 1: overthrow democracy, install authoritarian dictatorship. That is like the official
Speaker 1: position of the conservative movement at this point.
Speaker 2: It's not like it's it's it's just so fucking out
Speaker 2: in the open. That's it's like so horrified. It's just like, no,
Speaker 2: this is the stated aim of this party. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like just to go fully scortched to earth, not
Speaker 2: even trying to pretend like it would be anything else, Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the there was like January sixth just seems to
Speaker 1: be a big theme there in years past. They had
Speaker 1: an actor in a red orange jumpsuit like in a jail,
Speaker 1: and it was like, this is a six.
Speaker 2: I used to be a hairdresser. Yeah, I think that
Speaker 2: guy had like he had a real zany career of
Speaker 2: I think he's like one of the if I remember
Speaker 2: when you were talking about it, that guy was like
Speaker 2: one of the first to be like, why I'm leaving
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party for the Republicans sort of guy. So
Speaker 2: he's he's out there some cool, cool stuff that people
Speaker 2: are contributing to the conversation.
Speaker 1: This year, we got a educational January sixth pinball machine
Speaker 1: that can.
Speaker 2: You just say that that sequence of words one more time?
Speaker 1: An educational January sixth pinball machine from Jonathan Lino's who
Speaker 1: said that a lot of people thought it was a
Speaker 1: joke at first, but he said it was a serious
Speaker 1: expression of his beliefs about January sixth. I decided to
Speaker 1: make a game that actually expresses what really happened on
Speaker 1: January sixth. It's very suspicious and there was not any
Speaker 1: kind of serious investigation of what went on.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's why I'm using the very serious medium
Speaker 2: of pinball machine to spread my message.
Speaker 1: Is this pinball machine.
Speaker 2: God, that's what's so fucking That's what's so fucked up
Speaker 2: about these things. It's like you get people out there
Speaker 2: full throat and being like, we're gonna we're gonna round
Speaker 2: up all the journalists, all the fucking non cis head Christians,
Speaker 2: all of our haters, and then you also have like,
Speaker 2: I'm pinball guy who thinks January sixth was an inside job.
Speaker 1: And pinball grand Wizard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, like it's just wild how it's you
Speaker 2: can get the entire spectrum, so like it just sort
Speaker 2: of breaks your mind in a way where you're like,
Speaker 2: it's serious, it's serious, but a joke. But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: also just no, they're they're serious. Although there were a
Speaker 2: lot of people who were like reporting that like attendance
Speaker 2: was a lot like less than usual despite all this,
Speaker 2: so that was one maybe nice thing, but either way,
Speaker 2: the stated goals and the people that were there just
Speaker 2: are like no, no.
Speaker 1: No, yeah. So some of the same white supremacist groups
Speaker 1: that have been ejected in previous years were just like
Speaker 1: hanging out openly discussing race science, anti Semitic conspiracy theories,
Speaker 1: and casually using the N word. Yeah, in previous years
Speaker 1: and it was like a lot of like Nick Fuintez shit, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, this is just like the slow
Speaker 1: normalization of Nazism. That's how the original Nazis came about.
Speaker 1: Like people when they picture World War Two era Nazis,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, they're just like they swept to power
Speaker 1: and like everybody came together and like immediately was supportive
Speaker 1: of them. No, everybody was like freaked out by them
Speaker 1: for a good decade, and then they like slowly just
Speaker 1: became normalized and wore people down. And then like I guess,
Speaker 1: like it went from front page news that they were
Speaker 1: Nazis who believed wild shit. But then by the time
Speaker 1: they swept to power, people like they were just like,
Speaker 1: you know, into the Yeah, yeah, they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: well we know about them.
Speaker 2: They look pretty clean cut. Yeah, let's give them a shot,
Speaker 2: so let's.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just feels like seeing this slowly,
Speaker 1: slowly be adopted by well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like weird because on one hand, right, like
Speaker 2: we've we've talked we've you know, over the last year,
Speaker 2: the many years we've been doing the show, like talking
Speaker 2: about the Republicans, Like it's just like they're they're they're
Speaker 2: cooking down the sauce too, thicker and thicker goo, And
Speaker 2: it's becoming more and more extreme and concentrated. And yeah,
Speaker 2: like while there may be less people in attendance, the
Speaker 2: extreme nature of the views that are being presented are
Speaker 2: also starting to rise.
Speaker 1: So it's like this, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're they're bad.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go on the record and say that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: hopefully other people can see that too, but yeah, like
Speaker 2: right now, it's like all the coverage of this is
Speaker 2: like being like did you hear what Trump said?
Speaker 1: Though? Right? Could you hear what he called his wife
Speaker 1: Milan or Mercedes? It's like, nah, he didn't, actually, Like
Speaker 1: that's like that was the big takeaway from Trump's weekend
Speaker 1: was that he called Malania Mercedes, but he was clearly
Speaker 1: talking about his former staffer Mercedes Slop. So, but like
Speaker 1: the fact that people focus on that instead of like
Speaker 1: all the other crazy shit that he said, like calling
Speaker 1: himself a proud political dissident or comparing himself to Al
Speaker 1: capone pro Americans.
Speaker 2: They love me because they love my mugshot. They see
Speaker 2: I'm like them, oppressed.
Speaker 1: Jesus do nothing to help.
Speaker 2: He was saying shit like that, Mike. Yeah, it's uh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I mean again, it's all about the fucking old
Speaker 2: horse race with the media. Okay, how many how many
Speaker 2: old guy gaffes did Trump do this weekend?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: How need a bite and do what's the score right now?
Speaker 1: Tail the tape? Who had most old guy gaffs? Yeah?
Speaker 1: SEAPAC also hosted two South American authoritarians. Yeah, like Argentinian
Speaker 1: President Javier Mila and he's just a straight up authoritarian
Speaker 1: like they and and then Salvador and President also like
Speaker 1: was fucking both there, They're just straight up authoritarians now yeah, Milan.
Speaker 1: Trump shared a close hug backstage.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well yeah, I mean yeah. You have Melee,
Speaker 2: who likes to dress up as like an arco capitalist superhero,
Speaker 2: and then you have you know, uh, what's his face?
Speaker 2: Naive from El Salvador who's just all in on crypto.
Speaker 2: So yeah, gathering of the minds, gathering of brines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have an update on the at and
Speaker 1: T outage. Last week solar Flare car. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: obviously a cyber attack. I don't we all saw leave
Speaker 1: the world behind. It's a cyber attack by our enemies.
Speaker 1: They're coordinating to try and so discord. Oh wait, it
Speaker 1: was just the result of a software update gone wrong.
Speaker 2: You almost want them to say that to like, you know,
Speaker 2: how like people be like I was hacked on Twitter.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, bro, you're a sloppy racist just said
Speaker 2: we're hacked. Better than be like it was a cyber attack,
Speaker 2: rather be like we don't, we're fucking kind of dumb
Speaker 2: or whatever happened. Yeah, I'd imagine that isn't like for
Speaker 2: how rare this kind of thing is. I'd imagine that's
Speaker 2: not the norm. Or I feel like people be like, hey,
Speaker 2: give them a break. It's really hard to do a
Speaker 2: software update on an entire mobile network, which it could be,
Speaker 2: but I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have T Mobile, so you know, couldn't
Speaker 1: be me, couldn't be you, couldn't be me. But it's okay.
Speaker 1: They're gonna make it right. They've offered all customers who
Speaker 1: couldn't use their phones five dollars credited to their account,
Speaker 1: So okay, we're good here, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Ship, dude, five dollars five I was.
Speaker 1: Around not being able to call nine one one.
Speaker 2: Yeah or yeah exactly. It's like what anyway, I was
Speaker 2: looking at what their plans cost, like I think they're
Speaker 2: like an introductory rate for a single lines like eighty
Speaker 2: six bucks. So they gave them about two days, like
Speaker 2: two days worth of service off with that five bucks?
Speaker 2: Is that enough to heal the wounds of your cell phone?
Speaker 2: Saying so os like a fucking Rihanna track. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I.
Speaker 1: Feel like you're good here. I mean I accept opening offers,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, just like yeah, five dollars, that's oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's more than generous.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, And I think most people it's like
Speaker 2: it's I get it. It's a pain in the ass
Speaker 2: to switch networks and you have your to do your phone,
Speaker 2: but it's it's pretty easy. I guess if you wanted
Speaker 2: to switch, do you think about it?
Speaker 1: On the scale of pennies, that's five hundred pennies, it's
Speaker 1: like no joke, you know, Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on, hold on, yeah, that's what it's twenty quarters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty quarters, So not too chat, all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what, I'm signing up with
Speaker 1: AT and T Actually, thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I don't get it. Oh oh, I had
Speaker 2: to be a cut Okay.
Speaker 1: Right, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and talk about the fried Chicken pizza and
Speaker 1: other things. We'll be right back, and we're back. We're back,
Speaker 1: and KFC has released the Fried Chicken Pizza to the
Speaker 1: United States. It's literally just a pizza made on top
Speaker 1: of pieces of fried chicken. Doesn't look rate no like it.
Speaker 2: It looks like you're it's a it's basically like a
Speaker 2: chicken palm. Yeah, that's exactly what it's with Tepperonius on it.
Speaker 2: It's like you got marinara, you got melted cheese on
Speaker 2: top of a bread and chicken cutlet.
Speaker 1: That is not a chizza. Yeah, it's just chicken palm.
Speaker 1: But you're asking us to eat it with our hands.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I'm okay, I'm okay. We don't need
Speaker 2: to do this.
Speaker 1: We don't available in some US locations starting today Monday,
Speaker 1: but only for a limited time, and we don't have
Speaker 1: clarification on whether that means that the offers for a
Speaker 1: limited time or whoever eats it will only have a
Speaker 1: limited time on Earth. But I hope it's the latter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, dude, we told you, what did you think?
Speaker 1: We said, it's like the videotape.
Speaker 2: In the Ring Man, don't fuck with it or else you're.
Speaker 1: Like seven days what?
Speaker 2: I just had a little bit of a nibble off
Speaker 2: my cheeza.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one twenty seventeen review. So they've they've released this
Speaker 1: in other countries, it seems.
Speaker 2: Like mostly Asia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which kanc is pretty popular in Japan, isn't it oh?
Speaker 1: In Korea? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. One twenty seventeen
Speaker 1: review out of Shanghai found that the cheeta didn't quite
Speaker 1: live up to their expectations. They said that it tastes
Speaker 1: like uh so, each bite of the chieza showed me
Speaker 1: regret does indeed have a taste that's poetic, that is poetic.
Speaker 2: Wow, Regret indeed does have a taste, and it's a
Speaker 2: sad sad it looks like, at least in these photos
Speaker 2: from Asia, that looks like a flattened out chicken thigh,
Speaker 2: which that's look. If we're gonna be real, I would
Speaker 2: hope what you need to be the breast too dry,
Speaker 2: everyone way too dry. Leave it alone, leave it alone,
Speaker 2: embrace the dark meat.
Speaker 1: You probably won't be prepared. This is also from the review.
Speaker 1: You probably won't be prepared for the smell that wafts
Speaker 1: your way a combination of old oil and faint spice.
Speaker 1: But how was it to eat? And then they dropped
Speaker 1: that regret line on.
Speaker 2: Our Wow, the smell that wafts your way?
Speaker 1: That's like, truly, this person should just be writing novels.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, just but about but just like
Speaker 2: fucking slamming fast food, like just absolutely like you know,
Speaker 2: just in a like a like poetic visceration of our
Speaker 2: fast food. Okay, I'll have to look out for more
Speaker 2: reviews from this person.
Speaker 1: Over the weekend. And Air Force pilot Aaron bush Now,
Speaker 1: a twenty five year old active duty US airman, set
Speaker 1: himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington as
Speaker 1: an active protest. He streamed the whole thing on Twitch,
Speaker 1: telling viewers that he will no longer be complicit in genocide,
Speaker 1: and he later died in the hospital, but his final
Speaker 1: words were free Palestine and.
Speaker 2: He said, I'll side the embassy quote, I will no
Speaker 2: longer be complicit in genocide I'm about to engage in
Speaker 2: an extreme active protest. But compared to what people have
Speaker 2: been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers,
Speaker 2: it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling
Speaker 2: class has decided will be normal. Woo, no lies detected there,
Speaker 2: and you man, the self immolation is so wild. Like
Speaker 2: this used to be like fucking like ground like people.
Speaker 2: When people did this kind of shit, it would reverberate,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And now you look at
Speaker 2: like all the headlines the way they have just zoomed
Speaker 2: all the way out like to describe this, it's truly
Speaker 2: it's like man engages in fireplay in Washington, VC is
Speaker 2: like it's so well New York Times A man set
Speaker 2: himself on fire outside that Israeli embassy in Washington, Reuters,
Speaker 2: US airman sets himself on fire outside that israel embassy
Speaker 2: in Washington, CNN. US airman sets himself on fire outside
Speaker 2: there's really embassy in Washington, Like it's like identical the
Speaker 2: other one. Active duty airman sets himself outside on fire
Speaker 2: outside DC's Israeli Embassy. Okay, you kind of switch things
Speaker 2: around there, Washington Post. But like there's only like a
Speaker 2: few networks that actually mention what the motivation was, Like
Speaker 2: you like, the only reason that's what's so disheartening about
Speaker 2: all this shit is like they've completely taken out any
Speaker 2: context of this. This also happened in December in Georgia
Speaker 2: outside of the Israeli embassy. Another person, Yeah, this woman's
Speaker 2: self immolated and the and like right now, there's really
Speaker 2: not much you can find in terms of who that
Speaker 2: person was or their condition or what happened after that.
Speaker 2: It's like they just don't want to have people. They
Speaker 2: just want to like sanitize their front pages to not
Speaker 2: have any sort of like uncomfortable truths or actually get
Speaker 2: it or inform people about how extreme the the acts
Speaker 2: of the Israeli government are and how the US is
Speaker 2: CO signing and like fun basically bankrolling it through arms supply.
Speaker 2: And it's just you know, like you look at the
Speaker 2: self immolation of that guy, Mohammad Blazizi, who was the
Speaker 2: Tunisian man who also like when he self immolated that
Speaker 2: kicked off the Arabs, like the media at the time,
Speaker 2: they were clear on what he was doing and why
Speaker 2: he was doing it. But that's again because from the
Speaker 2: perspective of imperial Western media. Being very critical of governments
Speaker 2: in the Middle East is accepted discourse. Criticism of Israel
Speaker 2: clearly is not, because they just will have you believe
Speaker 2: this dude was, you know, like a busker or something
Speaker 2: and then it was an accident like a show gone wrong,
Speaker 2: like based on these headlines, Yeah, it's really it's it's
Speaker 2: really grim, and I think to not do that, I
Speaker 2: think also just indicates, you know, like truly, like as
Speaker 2: even he said that this is we're going to look
Speaker 2: at what is happening in Gaza and what is happening
Speaker 2: to Palestinian people as normal somehow avert your eyes or
Speaker 2: to not feel a sense of deep sadness or connect
Speaker 2: to the humanity when you see people grieving their loved
Speaker 2: ones who have had nothing to do with the October
Speaker 2: seventh attacks. But we're starting but we just have to say,
Speaker 2: but that's war or whatever tired talking point is used
Speaker 2: to sort of justify it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The New York Times did this morning have an
Speaker 1: updated headline that mentioned the word Gaza, but then it's
Speaker 1: no longer on the front page. So they were like, Okay,
Speaker 1: get a screen cap real quick of this. All right,
Speaker 1: We're good We're good here, right. There was also so
Speaker 1: it's a word season. Hollywood continues to bludge in America
Speaker 1: with lavish awards shows until we finally get the Oscars
Speaker 1: over with. But at the SAG Awards on Saturday, the
Speaker 1: cast of Oppenheimer won the big prize, which was pretty predictable,
Speaker 1: but then Robert Downey Junior won and he thanked Mel Gibson.
Speaker 1: You just started rattling off a bunch of names of
Speaker 1: people he learned so much from over the years, and
Speaker 1: one of them was fucking Mel Gibson. But then on
Speaker 1: Saturday came the Film Independent Spirit Awards, and this connects
Speaker 1: back to the previous story because that event is held
Speaker 1: in a tent, and so protesters, you know, came and
Speaker 1: had chants of Free Palestine playing over a bullhorn that
Speaker 1: were audible throughout the broadcast, and so there was just
Speaker 1: this very strange dystopian vibe inside the tent where like
Speaker 1: all these rich, famous people and fancy clothes, they're like
Speaker 1: dressed up and trying to do their bits and outside,
Speaker 1: you know, which is entirely appropriate. It's entirely appropriate for
Speaker 1: this moment in history to feel dystopian.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, especially when people are, you know, like in
Speaker 2: the previous story, committing such like ext like that's like
Speaker 2: the most extreme form of protest you can commit, Like
Speaker 2: that's pure desperation. This is Jim Gaffigan just trying to
Speaker 2: get through the awards while again protesters outside calling for
Speaker 2: a ceasefire.
Speaker 1: James a huge ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah so I mean, like that that sort of garbled noisy.
Speaker 2: Here are the people on the bull horns of protesters
Speaker 2: right just right outside.
Speaker 1: Asking for a ceasefire, demanding a seasire.
Speaker 2: But James Marsin is taking a huge ship or whatever.
Speaker 1: Man. There's also like a comedian reference the hecklers outside
Speaker 1: during the show. Yea interesting guy who really didn't like
Speaker 1: the holdovers or something. Yeah, guys, just don't listen to
Speaker 1: the haters. Just stay on your grind set and you'll
Speaker 1: be driving Lambeau soon. All right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, what are they even saying out there? You know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Just block it out, just block it out.
Speaker 2: I don't even know, Like, let's just let's focus on
Speaker 2: this award show. I think that's what even the director
Speaker 2: of Fremant Above, ac Ja Lali, said during his speech.
Speaker 2: He said, quote, there are people speaking outside and whatever
Speaker 2: they're saying, I think it's far more important than what
Speaker 2: I'm about to say. I'm so inspired by what they're
Speaker 2: saying outside i can't think of what I'm about to say. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and yeah, we're just man, it's just so wild when
Speaker 2: like this juxtaposition of different realities is just like slammed
Speaker 2: together like this too, where it's like you have a
Speaker 2: group of people who'll be like, let's like just have
Speaker 2: our award show and you know, clap along. But at
Speaker 2: the same time you have people who are really trying
Speaker 2: to bring awareness to what is happening, and it's just like,
Speaker 2: let's just let's call that heckling.
Speaker 1: It's h heckling. Jesus Christ. Yeah, it's dark. It's dark.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, those are some of the things that
Speaker 1: are trending on this Monday, February twenty sixth. We are
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vaccines, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bite Bite,
