Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season three, twenty five,
Speaker 1: Episode four of der Daily's I Guys Say production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: This is a podcast where we take a deep dive
Speaker 1: into America's shared consciousness. And it is Thursday, February fifteenth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, big Day. It's traditional National Wisconsin Day. It's
Speaker 2: also National gum drop Day. And it's also this is
Speaker 2: a very weird Singles Awareness Day.
Speaker 1: I refuse to be aware of singles.
Speaker 2: It's a wild like the whole thing's about like single people.
Speaker 2: Let me just read this thing that it says. There
Speaker 2: are several benefits of being unattached. Singles can come and
Speaker 2: go as they please with no regard to a partner, schedules, wants,
Speaker 2: or needs, career opportunity. A single doesn't need a consult
Speaker 2: a spouse before accepting an offer. It's also easier for
Speaker 2: a single to keep up healthy habits. There isn't anyone
Speaker 2: to sabotage their efforts to work out and eat healthily.
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting take. I do remember, and this
Speaker 1: might have been bullshit, Like there's a lot of data
Speaker 1: from that. Remember that there was that website for people
Speaker 1: who wanted to cheat on their spouse. And they came
Speaker 1: out with data and they were like, our most popular
Speaker 1: day is the day after Valentine's Day because people are
Speaker 1: disappointed by whatever they didn't get. Yeah. Yeah, empower yourself
Speaker 1: the power there you go, be aware of your potential
Speaker 1: to be a single crap.
Speaker 3: February thirteen is National side piece Day.
Speaker 1: To take care of them real quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, side piece awareness. We're raising awareness around the side.
Speaker 3: I mean I've accidentally been a side piece and once
Speaker 3: I found out, please know that that man had a
Speaker 3: bad day.
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Did you find out in one of those ways where
Speaker 2: like the you know, the fantastic way where someone rolls
Speaker 2: up like in the middle of somethings.
Speaker 1: Do you get a text? Do you get a d M?
Speaker 1: How did you or how did you put it together?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay okay?
Speaker 3: And I was like, first of all, I said, you
Speaker 3: met at the wrong person, right, he's like and as
Speaker 3: a woman's stocker, as a woman, woman a woman, bullshit,
Speaker 3: we need to cut this the fuck out. Bitch. I
Speaker 3: don't know you.
Speaker 1: Oh you nothing right, you don't know it all right?
Speaker 4: Woman a woman.
Speaker 3: No, there's no loyalty here. I'm not in a relationship here.
Speaker 3: If I had known he was in a relationship, I
Speaker 3: would not have talked to him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now.
Speaker 3: Other times I dealt with men who were in relationships, Yes,
Speaker 3: and I made that and I made the decision on
Speaker 3: my own. But the time there are also times that
Speaker 3: I did not do it. And most of the men
Speaker 3: I've dealt with in my life have not been in relationships.
Speaker 3: And the times that I was not trying to be
Speaker 3: a side piece is when some girl called me upset.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I'll be crying on the phone.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know.
Speaker 3: You also break up with this dude for my benefit
Speaker 3: for yours? Yeah, Like, oh you want me to break
Speaker 3: up from girl. Listen, he already cheated on you with me.
Speaker 3: I don't want to talk to him because I know
Speaker 3: he'll cheat on me with someone else. The thing is like,
Speaker 3: because people are talking about like Alicia Keys the halftime show,
Speaker 3: and it's just like, oh, her voice is a comeback.
Speaker 3: So she saw that woman's husband. Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Of it all.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, the whole thing of like she stole
Speaker 3: that woman's husband. What that does is it takes all
Speaker 3: of the responsibility away from the man he is married
Speaker 3: to somebody she is not. If he doesn't tell her, fine,
Speaker 3: even if he does tell If I okay, he tells her,
Speaker 3: she's like, fine, I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 3: You can't make a man stay, don't want to leave.
Speaker 3: You can't make a man le don't.
Speaker 4: Want to stay.
Speaker 3: It's a known fact. So she did not steal Swiss
Speaker 3: beats from nobody. Swiss beats left his wife.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's the that's this, that's the accurate description.
Speaker 3: That's the action. If someone steps out in there marriage,
Speaker 3: just because they stepped out in their marriage another person
Speaker 3: and I pop up and go, hey, look at these ankles.
Speaker 1: Come on the ankles is what got him the wrist.
Speaker 3: That's why it cover them, the ankle on the wrist.
Speaker 3: The shoulders. Believe in high school's like why are shoulders covers?
Speaker 3: He gives a ship and then I have heard men
Speaker 3: talk about shoulders and I was like, oh, I didn't know. Yea,
Speaker 3: but yeah, that whole concept is drupid. Yeah, but hi,
Speaker 3: I'm here.
Speaker 1: Yeah. We we do have to introduce everyone, all three
Speaker 1: of us, because our listeners have no idea who's talking
Speaker 1: right now. My name is Jack O'Brien aka, and I
Speaker 1: don't ever want to take my Baja Blast with cream
Speaker 1: make it a sold base. Oh just please miss me.
Speaker 1: That is courteous. See ye seek your full on the
Speaker 1: Discord twelve twenty nine. Shout out to you. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Tago Belt trying to drop a Baja Blast ice
Speaker 1: cream that is cream based. It's not a sowrebet. It's
Speaker 1: a cream based Baja Blast. Baha Blast is not one
Speaker 1: of the beverages that I can conceive of being good
Speaker 1: in a creamy state. Nah, miles, we did not get
Speaker 1: your opinion on that, But it's okay, that's better. You
Speaker 1: don't man, you know, I'm just trying to It's like gatoring,
Speaker 1: Like it's like trying to be like, do you like
Speaker 1: your gator ride with cream? Like? No?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: What this is refreshing me with that? How blast is
Speaker 1: like Blast gives me the feeling of like going down
Speaker 1: a water slide, like it's refreshment. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: want to cream milk in that process.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, well, have you ever had a frosted
Speaker 3: lemonade from Chick fil A?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I've always had a sweet tea when I'm there.
Speaker 3: So a frosted lemonade from Chick fil A is basically
Speaker 3: a lemonade with soft served ice cream in.
Speaker 4: It, And how is delicious?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well then I can I mean I can see that's
Speaker 2: like a cream sickle type thing, except with like.
Speaker 3: Because I enjoy a Baja blast. So this is all
Speaker 3: you have to do, is you truly take a Baja
Speaker 3: blast and you could do the ice cream the carbonation out, reduce.
Speaker 4: It to a syrup. You flavor your ice cream.
Speaker 3: I think the problem you have is carbonation.
Speaker 1: It might be a carbonator. I mean, I like a
Speaker 1: coke float, a root beer float, like, so all of this.
Speaker 3: So all of this is I've had a coke float float,
Speaker 3: a cheer wind float, cheer Wine's amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: All they have to do instead of making this an
Speaker 3: ice cream, make this a float situation. I'm gonna sprite float.
Speaker 3: It's very nice.
Speaker 1: Yeahah, ginger all float too. I love float.
Speaker 3: If they do a float as opposed to a true
Speaker 3: true ice cream, you're fine.
Speaker 1: For some reason, my brain and I acknowledge I'm wrong here,
Speaker 1: but my brain has trouble crossing the barrier into float.
Speaker 1: If it's not a brown liquid for some reason, like
Speaker 1: coke and root beer makes sense to me. I guess orange,
Speaker 1: I would, I could fuck with orange because of cream.
Speaker 1: Just try it, try.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I need to get more comfortable ginger all
Speaker 1: you know that's a step down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, least ginger seem Ineral's medicine. So I don't understand how.
Speaker 2: How I took my medicine with ice cream. It probably
Speaker 2: nicates the medical benefits.

Speaker 1: You are here how is it? How's how's book tour life?
Speaker 3: It's simultaneous with the stand up So does.
Speaker 1: That make it like more? Did it make it easier?
Speaker 2: Is it more stressful to do kind of both?
Speaker 3: Or how like like I'll have like press during the
Speaker 3: day and then shows at night, or like book signing.
Speaker 3: I get a book signing and all into Virginia last Saturday.
Speaker 3: So it's really just it's just doing all it's doing
Speaker 3: like multiple things at once, so like once I'm in
Speaker 3: a city, like, let's let's hit this. And so it's
Speaker 3: actually just capitalizing on the dates that I already have, right,
Speaker 3: And so it's saying to people like while I'm doing
Speaker 3: a show, like hey, I've got a book signing on Saturday,
Speaker 3: or if I'm at the book sign and being like, hey,
Speaker 3: I have a show today, right, So they've kind of
Speaker 3: been helping each other, which is what the goal is.
Speaker 1: Oh how much long are you doing it for?
Speaker 3: Probably in the March. I mean I have stand up
Speaker 3: dates going into you know, all year. But the crazy
Speaker 3: thing is it's like you can't get as many because
Speaker 3: like when the strike hit, anybody that could tell a
Speaker 3: joke because we know how long the strike was gonna last.
Speaker 3: So anybody that could tell a joke in any form
Speaker 3: or fashion, like got all these club dates. Everybody got
Speaker 3: all these club dates because nobody was working. And so
Speaker 3: now you're just like, I'm just I'm just trying to
Speaker 3: get some dates and so but like now stuff is
Speaker 3: back because I was talking on my to comic that
Speaker 3: I know, and he was like, man, I booked on
Speaker 3: the stand up the strike. What's happening and that we're back,
Speaker 3: and I'm just exhausted and I don't want to do
Speaker 3: these dates, but I gonna do these dates because I
Speaker 3: put cause already booked all this stuff. You know long
Speaker 3: the strike was gonna last. And it's just like, well,
Speaker 3: dang up, yeah stress well yeah, So now I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to get these dates that people are going to
Speaker 3: start canceling because they're schedules are overrun. But you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's good. I'm excited. The book has been interesting
Speaker 3: to see the reception that people have for it. It's
Speaker 3: been really good to talk about it, and writing a
Speaker 3: book is hard. And my manager canned me into it
Speaker 3: and somehow to sell it as.
Speaker 1: It happens, as it happens. How long did it take
Speaker 1: you to write the book a couple of days.
Speaker 3: It takes like a year.
Speaker 4: Jeez, takes like a year.
Speaker 3: And even though and I am a manager, tricked me, h.
Speaker 1: Like it'll be easy, you know.
Speaker 3: Just no. He was like, hey, what if you wrote
Speaker 3: a book? And I was like that sounds very hard. No,
Speaker 3: thank you, And he's like, well, I said, I don't
Speaker 3: think anybody wants to read a book for me. I'm
Speaker 3: not just what are we talking about. He's like, let's
Speaker 3: just have a meeting. Let's just take a meeting and
Speaker 3: see what happens.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh right.
Speaker 3: And then I took a meeting, and then I took
Speaker 3: three more meetings, and he was like, congratulations, she sold
Speaker 3: a book. And I was like what, Yeah, they're going
Speaker 3: to give you money to write a book.
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, this mother, Like I thought we
Speaker 2: were just talking to those people.
Speaker 3: I thought we was just talking to these people, like
Speaker 3: just saying like, hey, girl, are you going Yeah? And
Speaker 3: then apparently the book got sold and so now I
Speaker 3: had to write anandscape of book. So but when they
Speaker 3: give you money, you have to do stuff. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you've heard of.
Speaker 2: Jobs, but that's the hard don't prove.
Speaker 3: Don't approof at all? Who invented this? Who betted money?
Speaker 3: The bastard. But yeah, so he tricked me, and then
Speaker 3: people bought it, and so then I had to write
Speaker 3: a whole book. And I started the process by asking
Speaker 3: Michelle Bhutto, who wrote a book, how in the hell
Speaker 3: do you do this? And she recommended She was like, well,
Speaker 3: just start with stories that are too long for you
Speaker 3: to tell on stage.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And I started from there, and then I filled in, like,
Speaker 3: you know, stories from growing up and like being a
Speaker 3: daily show and like stand up and you know, I
Speaker 3: needed to do summer sock theater. So I started from
Speaker 3: there and then filled in stories for my life.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's easy enough. Everybody needs to go out
Speaker 1: get it, make duels, say and her manager some money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this deal.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to make sure my mother never works
Speaker 3: at Amazon. There, just trying to keep her honest and
Speaker 3: off these no man, just off these bezos streets.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll say we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in the moment. First, a couple
Speaker 1: of the things we're talking about. We're gonna check in
Speaker 1: with evangelicals. See what they were up to during the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I mean, it was a big day for Jesus.
Speaker 1: The Super Bowl ads were all over the place, and
Speaker 1: they had some parallel programming happening. They had like the
Speaker 1: Puppy Bowl for the real hardcore evangelicals. Before we get
Speaker 1: to any of that, do we'll say, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: Nine foot Christmas tree storage tope?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, nine foot?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a big I got a six foot
Speaker 2: or like a like an artificial one.
Speaker 1: I don't have.
Speaker 2: I just keep putting in the same box that is
Speaker 2: starting to fall up art I probably need.
Speaker 1: To look into a tote now. Actually, now that I
Speaker 1: think about this, well.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put it. Well, they have like storage bags
Speaker 3: you can put them in, and they have the storage
Speaker 3: toes because like it's gonna go on the shed, So
Speaker 3: you can't put it in the box right because the
Speaker 3: trential downpour the other day, the box will just melt
Speaker 3: it inside the shed. So the morshin here. So yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what I'm looking for. Is a way too, because
Speaker 3: the Christmas tree is still in the living room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, take it apart what's what's the limit for you?
Speaker 2: How long does the Christmas how what's the earliest it
Speaker 2: goes up? And what's the latest it's this stays up.
Speaker 3: Well, we put it up. We put it up like
Speaker 3: in December, but my mother was like, next year we
Speaker 3: should put it up on Thanksgiving, which I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3: But we were well in the January before we took
Speaker 3: that tree down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I took the mind we didn't have the
Speaker 2: time for whatever reason. I felt like when MLK Day came,
Speaker 2: I was like, it can't be up for m LK Day.
Speaker 2: That was like, That's what I gave myself was a
Speaker 2: soft deadline. Was like, once another holiday hits, that's fine.
Speaker 2: I feel like into early January, you're good, You're good.
Speaker 4: But mid to late I proved that message.
Speaker 3: But like once we were hit, I think we were hitting,
Speaker 3: Like mid January, I was just like, this is no,
Speaker 3: this is wild, this is not I mean, we're doing
Speaker 3: but we're doing it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have crazy loyalty to certain I think I
Speaker 1: think it is like the big boxes, like boxes, boxes
Speaker 1: that store big items, like I have that twelve foot
Speaker 1: whitch Halloween decoration and I'm still fucking like, you know,
Speaker 1: two and a half seasons in, I'm still fucking with
Speaker 1: the original box and it is tatters. Yeah yeah, function My.
Speaker 3: Question is is the box and would the box be
Speaker 3: exposed to the elements.
Speaker 1: It was last year and then now I just have
Speaker 1: it in a room that we don't go into that
Speaker 1: much because I want to protect the box more than anything.
Speaker 1: Just like this box is really is a good box.
Speaker 3: I understand that I am a also a box person
Speaker 3: like my friend because I when I get like an
Speaker 3: eye shadow palette, I keep it in the original box, yeah,
Speaker 3: or the Vergin container is also like these this ain't
Speaker 3: wet and wild makeup, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 3: this is like this isn't a cheap So like when
Speaker 3: I got my first, like first couple of Daily Show checks,
Speaker 3: like my really like grown up checks, I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get myself like some nice makeup, and I
Speaker 3: got like a Patmograph eye shadow palette. It was like
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five dollars and it's amazing. This
Speaker 3: makeup is going to be passed on to my children's children.
Speaker 3: But I won't take it on the road with me, oh,
Speaker 3: because it's one hundred and twenty five. So it sits
Speaker 3: in my house. But I'm not somebody that wears makeup
Speaker 3: every day. Sure, so when I do it, I'm like,
Speaker 3: let me go, ho, grab this patmograph. But it's in
Speaker 3: the box. All of my makeup is in the box. Yeah,
Speaker 3: everything stays in the box because it's just like, that's
Speaker 3: how I got it. If we'll keep a TV box.
Speaker 3: My mother's making me keep a TV box from one
Speaker 3: of these TVs. She's got printer boxes. Like I'm in
Speaker 3: my craft room right now and there's like boxes from
Speaker 3: different printers that she has. You're like, well, if you
Speaker 3: got the boxing, put it back in the box.
Speaker 1: A printer boxer is definitely less printer box what no.
Speaker 3: Reason stay is with the family. So I mean, even
Speaker 3: if Jesus did come back, you still pass.
Speaker 1: That bequeathing it to my children. Yeah?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Why did I even have these kids if I'm
Speaker 3: not going to give them this box.
Speaker 1: This box, printer box.
Speaker 2: This is an EPs and laser printer. You should like this.
Speaker 3: This is the first time looking at an epsom get
Speaker 3: right in front of my face.
Speaker 2: It's like my mom is the same way like she
Speaker 2: I think it's like Also this thing is like if
Speaker 2: it costs a certain amount, it's I don't throw that
Speaker 2: box out if it's it's like north of my packaging,
Speaker 2: if it's like north of one hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: And I and I think I've also adapted this habit
Speaker 2: from my mom to be like, well, you know, that's
Speaker 2: like she was like one hundred fifty bucks, Like you
Speaker 2: might you might want to put it back in the
Speaker 2: box for some reason.
Speaker 3: Cut to well, in my living room, it's like a
Speaker 3: close to seventy inch TV. So it's like I have
Speaker 3: to get this box out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah that box rent.
Speaker 3: Right, the box is seventy four inches. No, no, no, you
Speaker 3: have to leave. You have to go home, like you
Speaker 3: have to go back to the earth from whence you came.
Speaker 3: You just gonna be in my house. Yeah, No, the
Speaker 3: box needs to pay. The box needs to pay. If
Speaker 3: it's that big, you have to get out of here.
Speaker 3: Another TV box that my mom will not let me
Speaker 3: get rid of. And so it's just in my cross
Speaker 3: space for absolutely no reason, just because just because I
Speaker 3: don't have to hear her go. So you're not gonna
Speaker 3: keep the box to the wall.
Speaker 2: No, keeping the box for what But if you move,
Speaker 2: then I'll find a way to package it safely.
Speaker 1: I don't need that's always the card boxes. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, She's like, what what if you move? I said,
Speaker 3: then what about all the other TVs? Yeah, there's three
Speaker 3: TV's upstairs, there's two TVs in her house. There's a
Speaker 3: TV in the living room, so TV, my brother's. We
Speaker 3: got one box. We have one hundred and forty seven TVs.
Speaker 3: Are we all gonna just strap them together? Maybe just
Speaker 3: tie a rope? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, I have to get out of his mindset,
Speaker 3: like these boxes have to get thrown away.
Speaker 1: Right well, secretly, secretly, you know, secretly.
Speaker 3: I mean just waiting for the day that she's because
Speaker 3: I know I tried to throw it away last time,
Speaker 3: and she was just like, what's she doing with the box?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: She probably heards you.
Speaker 2: She's like, you're not messing with my box right right face.
Speaker 3: I want to get out of here and try to
Speaker 3: put the Christmas.
Speaker 1: Out there, but I have to smuggle it out in
Speaker 1: small pieces, like Andie Dufrain and shosh anchor down, dropping
Speaker 1: little pieces of the box from your pant legs. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna walk the dog with just a handful of.
Speaker 3: It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we are back and dull, stay sloan. We do like
Speaker 1: to also ask our I guess what is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated?
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift? She's just white, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think of the Republican sort of
Speaker 2: like hysteria over how they're like she's going to swing
Speaker 2: the election they.
Speaker 3: Need honestly, thank you for getting the heat off of
Speaker 3: black people to run it, because this is what you do. Know,
Speaker 3: if Kansas City would have lost the super Bowl, it
Speaker 3: would have been her fault. Yes, but they won and
Speaker 3: it's Travis Kelsey, So she doesn't get the push, she
Speaker 3: doesn't get the benefit of them winning. But she would
Speaker 3: have caught all the heat if they.
Speaker 4: Lost, right, And that's not fair.
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of little girl, but that's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you don't need that kind of missage Andy
Speaker 1: flying that way.
Speaker 3: Right, So it was just like she was going to
Speaker 3: catch pure hell. Also, even if she's even if she
Speaker 3: told everybody to vote for a specific candidate, that's not illegal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, right, obviously, the only the thing.
Speaker 3: That's going to swing the election is the policies Republican Party.
Speaker 3: But the problem is is that nobody wants to in
Speaker 3: the same way. So when Hilary Clinton was running against Trump,
Speaker 3: I saw something on Instagram and it said, all right,
Speaker 3: let me go get up and vote for this girl.
Speaker 3: And I was like, that is perfect, that is exactly
Speaker 3: how I felt. Let me get up and vote for
Speaker 3: this girl. I'm I decided to vote for Biden. But
Speaker 3: they know that Kamala Harris has no chance, right none.
Speaker 3: So it's like, Okay, you have to run Biden against
Speaker 3: Trump because Kamala Harris has absolutely no chance. But it's
Speaker 3: they're the oldest candidates in the history of the world. Ye,
Speaker 3: like in the history of America.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the oldest.
Speaker 3: Candidates in the history of America. And John said, like
Speaker 3: on the show on Monday, he was like, the last
Speaker 3: time there were people this old was them four years.
Speaker 1: Four years ago. They broke the first time.
Speaker 3: So I was like, I was like, damn, that's why.
Speaker 3: But no, Taylor's swift anchor. I mean, all she did
Speaker 3: was just increase the sales of pony beads and letter
Speaker 3: beads and that elastic.
Speaker 1: Bead industry is booming, and that is helping by economy.
Speaker 3: Exactly, so shout out to Also, what I don't understand
Speaker 3: is like we've given Taylor's swiftfall this credit for boosting
Speaker 3: the economy when her and Beyonce had toured.
Speaker 4: Simultaneously right right right, and.
Speaker 3: People were breaking their neck literally not paying rent to
Speaker 3: go see both of them. So I'm just like, it's
Speaker 3: not only that she's gonna No, she's not gonna sway
Speaker 3: an election with the problem is that people are so
Speaker 3: disengaged that not enough people are going to vote and when,
Speaker 3: and what the Republican Party is very good at is
Speaker 3: getting their constituents out to vote. Democrats aren't paying enough attention. Also,
Speaker 3: they don't have enough money. The Republican Party sits on
Speaker 3: two hundred million dollars, the Democratic Party sits on twenty
Speaker 3: million dollars.
Speaker 2: The way Laura Trump was talking to She's like, if
Speaker 2: I am at the RNC, like, put me there. I'm
Speaker 2: putting every said quote, every single penny of RNC funds
Speaker 2: will be go to his election. It's like, you mean
Speaker 2: in legal fees. I think that's what we really talking here,
Speaker 2: because that's how so much of his pack money just
Speaker 2: went to his legal fees will, which.
Speaker 3: Is listen, this is why when white people have the
Speaker 3: nerve to look at black people or people of color
Speaker 3: and go, well, how do we You can't ask us
Speaker 3: how to do anything. Y'all know exactly how this works.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm very exhausted by the white person who doesn't
Speaker 3: understand how America works, or the man who doesn't understand
Speaker 3: while women are still going through stop it. Quit playing
Speaker 3: in my face. If you're playing with me, at least
Speaker 3: that they'd be a board and dice out. Stop playing
Speaker 3: with me. There's no video game console on right now,
Speaker 3: sitting in the living room meeting nachos, So stop playing
Speaker 3: with me, you understand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm just like one.
Speaker 3: America is not about freedom. America's about money. The day
Speaker 3: that everybody can acknowledge that America is a business. It
Speaker 3: started as colonialism and conalization was a business. The colonies
Speaker 3: were a business. So ASCW people was like, you know what,
Speaker 3: they've been not being real nice to us in England,
Speaker 3: we might want to go somewhere else. That was a
Speaker 3: couple of folks on a couple of boats. The rest
Speaker 3: of these bastards, the entire Western hemisphere was.
Speaker 1: A business right.
Speaker 3: That the British and the Spanish took over because the
Speaker 3: fact that Americans do not acknowledge that most of the
Speaker 3: countries below US speak Spanish.
Speaker 2: Isn't the sane or even know what country. Most people
Speaker 2: don't even know what North America is.
Speaker 3: It was like, you know Mexico's and Central America.
Speaker 1: No, it's not.
Speaker 3: You never heard of NATO, That's what you just told me.
Speaker 3: So it's America is a business. Stop looking for freedom
Speaker 3: and start paying attention of the money. All of this
Speaker 3: has always been about money. America does not care about
Speaker 3: your freedom. All of the freedom shit is they smoke
Speaker 3: screen is a lie. That's why the reason that you
Speaker 3: were able to get the Civil Rights Act to pass
Speaker 3: is one Kennedy was assassinated two. Montgomery bus boycott took
Speaker 3: eighteen months. It wasn't a couple of days that they
Speaker 3: wasn't on the bus. Was eighteen months and black women
Speaker 3: organize cabs and cars to get everybody to work. And
Speaker 3: what it did was it almost bankrupted the city of Montgomery, Alabama.
Speaker 3: That's why desegregation happened because of boycotting of businesses. It
Speaker 3: wasn't because the white people was like, we should probably
Speaker 3: get these negroes from rights. No, it's realized how we
Speaker 3: impacted an entire city's economy, in multiple cities economies during
Speaker 3: the Civil rights movement, and they were like, Yo, these
Speaker 3: negroes messing up our business. Give them some rights or
Speaker 3: they're going to destroy us, right with just the money
Speaker 3: of it. No one felt No, It's like, so a
Speaker 3: white man looked at another white man and said, let's
Speaker 3: give these negroes rights. Right, had nothing to do. They
Speaker 3: weren't treated better. Right, you cannot just get the bland
Speaker 3: food you was fighting to eat. So I'm very confused
Speaker 3: about what we think is happening right now, and I
Speaker 3: don't know why we're not acting like that.
Speaker 4: This is what it is.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, the Republican Party wants to take all this
Speaker 3: money to back Trump. All they're going to do is
Speaker 3: bankrupt themselves because all they want to do. Trump is
Speaker 3: just revenge for Obama. That's all he is. Because that's
Speaker 3: why people foam at the mouth and anger and act
Speaker 3: with Trump in the way that they act.
Speaker 4: It is because he says.
Speaker 3: What needs to be said. We're going to drain the
Speaker 3: swamp and get those fat Cats. I'm like, why are
Speaker 3: so many cats in a swamp?
Speaker 1: You sound crazy? Cats?
Speaker 3: They listen, what is this? I remember swat Cats was
Speaker 3: an interesting cartoon. Some cats didn't exist. They don't do that.
Speaker 1: Samurai Eat the Cats another one, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: The nineties was a great time for pizza.
Speaker 1: Yeah, truly, that teenage mutant Ninja turtle pizza that was
Speaker 1: just like the the cheese on the top was like
Speaker 1: one solid liquid, like non Newtonian substance that just like
Speaker 1: kind of stretched, it just fell off the dough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's really how they made kids read books,
Speaker 3: is what happened. Yeah, A pizza, a personal pan pizza, right,
Speaker 3: just truly, just the open faced girl cheese.
Speaker 1: Sandwich with a little bit of tomato sauce with a little.
Speaker 3: Bit of tomato sauce is really how they got kids
Speaker 3: to read in the nineties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, came through. What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 3: Voting in local elections and knowing who your congressman is.
Speaker 3: That is underrated, Yeah, because people don't know who they're people.
Speaker 3: It's like, I remember when Obama got elected, all these
Speaker 3: white people were like, well, Obama's going to pass all
Speaker 3: these laws for black people, and it's like, that's literally
Speaker 3: not what the president does. Or I had a coworker's like, well,
Speaker 3: what's Obama doing for black people? Just being the president?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: But he's not just he's a whole country's president. So
Speaker 3: it's just like it's I don't know what Schoolhouse Rock
Speaker 3: we all need to watch or how we all forgot,
Speaker 3: But it's just like, the reason that you could overturn
Speaker 3: ro V Wade is because of a president who got
Speaker 3: elected in all of this other It's just like, but
Speaker 3: it was a long going plan, right, So what I
Speaker 3: truly need the Democratic Party to do is crime, crime,
Speaker 3: do crime, because here's the thing. The Republican Party represents
Speaker 3: a small represents a very specific group of people that
Speaker 3: has a lot of money or doesn't have a lot
Speaker 3: of money, but they know who they are and what
Speaker 3: they want. The Democratic Party has to cover everybody else, right, right,
Speaker 3: And so the Republicans openly do crime. Weill still and
Speaker 3: look you in the face and go do something about
Speaker 3: it because you have the audacity of white men. There
Speaker 3: are enough white people running the Democratic Party to also
Speaker 3: have the audacity of white men. If you're a white
Speaker 3: man who is front facing in this party do crime.
Speaker 3: You are not helping it's time. You're not helping me
Speaker 3: by not doing crime.
Speaker 4: You're not just the time to do crime. They're trying to.
Speaker 3: Still, he literally planned treason and those people left right,
Speaker 3: if there would have been people of color, they'd all
Speaker 3: be dead in the track of the Capitol dead right.
Speaker 3: You've already seen how far I could actually go. Ye,
Speaker 3: And so it's like, well, I'm not gonna I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna vote because I don't want to, you know, Biden
Speaker 3: this and Biden that. I was like, this man, people
Speaker 3: committed treason for this man. Yeah, and you're gonna go, well, well,
Speaker 3: I think Biden's old. Then Kamala Harris becomes president if
Speaker 3: he meets Jesus. But you already have seen what will do,
Speaker 3: what his what his followers, not constituent, his followers will do.
Speaker 3: So what's underrated is not is Democrats, Democrats, anyone who's
Speaker 3: not a Republican not participating in the elections for their
Speaker 3: local and federal congress people. Because if you want to
Speaker 3: know why this is why your neighborhood's getting redlined, it's
Speaker 3: because you didn't go vote.
Speaker 1: Right, It's because city council people, or it's a.
Speaker 3: City council people. It's because why these books taken being
Speaker 3: taken out of school councils. Like, It's like the school
Speaker 3: board is a voted thing, a sheriff is a voted thing.
Speaker 3: There's so many things you vote for, and people are
Speaker 3: that they're blinded by the fact that, like they the
Speaker 3: president is the least important person you need to be
Speaker 3: worried about. You need to be learned about who is
Speaker 3: your congressman, who is running your school board, That's what
Speaker 3: you need to be worried about. I don't know what
Speaker 3: the Hella Alderman does, but I'm sure it's important. How
Speaker 3: about a controller? Is you got to It's like people
Speaker 3: like voting is not important. I said, if it wasn't important,
Speaker 3: it wouldn't work so hard for me can get people
Speaker 3: to not do it. No one tries to stop you
Speaker 3: from doing something. Ain't nobody on here trying to stop
Speaker 3: people from roller.
Speaker 2: Skating, right except for like old people who are like
Speaker 2: it's dangerous because it is dangerous.
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, well I think yeah with the voting thing too.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people put some like culturally,
Speaker 2: we put so much emphasis on the presidential race, when
Speaker 2: it's like, that's not the thing that changes everything.
Speaker 3: That's like, no, he literally he doesn't write laws, he
Speaker 3: doesn't pass laws.
Speaker 1: All he can do is veto and law, yeah.
Speaker 3: And give people pardons. That's the main Like his power,
Speaker 3: the scope of the power of the president doesn't affect
Speaker 3: people's lives on a regular basis. But your congressional representative
Speaker 3: on the state and federal level, that impacts you directly.
Speaker 3: And they're staying there sitting in an office going like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: I represent the people, but you don't represent me, right,
Speaker 3: and I don't like who you are, so you can't
Speaker 3: be in the seat anymore. But now people are convinced.
Speaker 3: But all the voting is rigged. Da da da da
Speaker 3: da da da. There is a there's the electoral college,
Speaker 3: but not every vote has an electoral college. They set
Speaker 3: that up for the president, and that's why people think
Speaker 3: it's so important. Right, But if you're voting for a congressman,
Speaker 3: that's a direct democracy. You vote for that person directly,
Speaker 3: that's pure popular vote.
Speaker 1: Right, what do you think?
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 2: I'm curious because you know you just referenced John Stewart
Speaker 2: coming back to the Daily Show and like a bunch
Speaker 2: of liberals fucking lost it over like and I'm like,
Speaker 2: come the fuck on. Like when people they say like,
Speaker 2: don't fuck mention anything bad about Joe Biden, are you
Speaker 2: trying to make Trump whin?
Speaker 1: It's like, excuse you?
Speaker 2: Like Keith Olberman was like, this is both sides, and like, yeah,
Speaker 2: because both sides are old as shit.
Speaker 1: So I don't like what are we saying here?
Speaker 3: Well, Also the show has always talked about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no truly, but it's interesting to see like
Speaker 2: the the franticness because I get it the thread of
Speaker 2: another Trump administis that's not lost on me, Like how
Speaker 2: dangerous that is. And if you're trying to do things
Speaker 2: differently and you're saying like I want to choose the
Speaker 2: landscape in which I'm trying to do activism or whatever,
Speaker 2: it's like you're it's going to be more friendly if
Speaker 2: Biden is president than if Donald Trump is president. That's
Speaker 2: just that's just true. But I think like this idea
Speaker 2: that we can't expect or say out loud that we
Speaker 2: want better or there can be better, and treating that
Speaker 2: as like a hostile act of violence, I think it's
Speaker 2: just so it's so counterproductive and it like it, and
Speaker 2: it ends up putting off like a lot of younger
Speaker 2: voters too, who like you need for campaigns. So it's
Speaker 2: just a very I know, we're in a very odd
Speaker 2: situation in terms of like time.
Speaker 3: I remember when the Key Party came out and the
Speaker 3: whole Republican Party split and it was just like, Okay,
Speaker 3: these ones are crazy, right and these ones are less crazy.
Speaker 3: So it was just like the Republican Party has been
Speaker 3: through a lot, right, in the past twenty something, in
Speaker 3: the past twenty twenty five years. Yeah, so but everything
Speaker 3: has been come It was interesting because the Internet was
Speaker 3: supposed to give us more information and what all it
Speaker 3: does is just it's giving information to support people's side.
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it's you can't
Speaker 3: say that you're a Christian country and then not do
Speaker 3: things that help people. You can't say you're a Christian
Speaker 3: country and then want to deny people health care. Or
Speaker 3: it's like, well, you know, you can't say that you
Speaker 3: don't believe in socialism but then have public schools, police
Speaker 3: a post office.
Speaker 1: Right, and corporate welfare.
Speaker 3: In corporate welfare is just like you'll bail And so
Speaker 3: it's like literally the post office. But also remember wh
Speaker 3: Trump tried to get rid of the post office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good poste when he put his guy
Speaker 1: in there, and.
Speaker 3: Well what was nuts. It's like he tried to shut
Speaker 3: down the post office and some little body literally said
Speaker 3: to him, hey, we have a lot of rule voters
Speaker 3: who are Republican and if we get rid of the
Speaker 3: post office, we won't have those votes. And he left
Speaker 3: the post office alone. Nobody was going for the post office. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and he was like, the're this and he was like
Speaker 3: and then he just stopped coming for the post office, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: because somebody was like, hey, quick, just just a quick thing.
Speaker 1: Listen to me, just saying right that.
Speaker 3: Those votes that you're trying not to camp also from us.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well shit, y'all should have told me.
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, cool cool cool, Yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, we I already forgot I said that anyway,
Speaker 2: So let's move on to the next thing.
Speaker 1: I mean truly, yeah, yeah, I mean one of the
Speaker 1: most hopeful things I've seen in politics in recent history
Speaker 1: was you had mentioned compatroller, but the twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: election for Controller of Los Angeles, Kenneth Mahea, a thirty
Speaker 1: two year old accountant, who just like started putting up
Speaker 1: billboards showing what the LAPD's budget actually looked like compared
Speaker 1: to anything else in this city, compared to everything else
Speaker 1: in the city. It was a bar graph. It was
Speaker 1: it was wild, and everyone was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is the thing that everybody's freaking out and saying
Speaker 1: that is getting defunded. And he got elected, like against
Speaker 1: you know what, what people were expecting to happen. He
Speaker 1: got elected just by basically, you know, in a very
Speaker 1: smart way, explaining this is what I do as a controller.
Speaker 1: You probably don't know that, but here's what a controller does.
Speaker 1: Here's something wild that you probably haven't noticed, but me
Speaker 1: as a controller noticed.
Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, you see that super long bar
Speaker 2: that goes almost the length of the billboard. That's the
Speaker 2: police budget, the thing that are a third and a
Speaker 2: half or things like social services, yeah, you know, programs
Speaker 2: for affordable housing.
Speaker 3: Man, the only thing, the only controller I know is
Speaker 3: a dress.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Really, it's really interesting. Also, Thisten, we just have to
Speaker 3: take a second to go like this year has been.
Speaker 3: I mean I literally saw a list like for those
Speaker 3: of you keeping score at home in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 3: let's get into it. I mean, this year has been
Speaker 3: absolutely outrageous, as in, first of all, for those of
Speaker 3: you keep me square at home, Kat Williams, Club chasehe interview,
Speaker 3: Megan versus Nikki, Yeah, jay Z telling the truth at
Speaker 3: the Grammys.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hmmm. Drake video leak, helicopter helicopter footage.
Speaker 3: Helicopter footage, Monique's club chase interview. Yeah new, Jonathan Major's allegations.
Speaker 1: Oh new Jonathan Major's allegations. Yeah, oh shit, yeah okay.
Speaker 3: So, and then Beyonce coming out with a Beyonce dropping,
Speaker 3: Beyonce teasing a country album during Usher's concert, like it's
Speaker 3: Beyonce teasing album during Usher concert, and white people playing sports. Also,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you notice, and I know I'm
Speaker 3: probably getting a SOUF track, but I did notice that
Speaker 3: when so majority of football players on a football team
Speaker 3: are black men, right, but when you but then when
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl is won, there was no black men
Speaker 3: standing up there. And then when they finally got to
Speaker 3: a black man talked for maybe fifteen seconds. So and
Speaker 3: then Travis Kelsey, who if you needed any more proof
Speaker 3: that he only dated black women, I was like, why
Speaker 3: are letting him talk, because like, here's the thing that
Speaker 3: people don't realize, because like I don't know where he's from,
Speaker 3: but he sounds like he's from the Midwest of the
Speaker 3: South to me, because people don't realize at a certain
Speaker 3: point where you get ruel enough, white people and black
Speaker 3: people sound exactly.
Speaker 2: The same, right, And that's like, Ohio, So that's.
Speaker 3: What he sounds like to me, Like this is very
Speaker 3: like everybody talks the same because there's more as much
Speaker 3: as there was a twang. It was also like I
Speaker 3: also thought Rick Flair was gonna come out at any
Speaker 3: moment because he sounded like Dusty Roads. So he's just like,
Speaker 3: is arn Anderson here? What is going on? Is Kelsey Gonna?
Speaker 3: Who's hitting him with the chair? Where is Kevin Nash?
Speaker 3: Like this is what he sounded like to me. So
Speaker 3: I was like, I've never thought that anyone think any
Speaker 3: relationship was a plant or a ploy or a plot,
Speaker 3: but his little relationship with Taylor Swift, I don't believe it.
Speaker 3: And so we was in Kansas City the other week
Speaker 3: doing shows like the beginning of the month, and they
Speaker 3: were like, oh, Travis and Taylor I bought a house,
Speaker 3: And I was just like First of all, why.
Speaker 4: Do you know that?
Speaker 3: Second time? I know that, but it's it's very interesting. Also,
Speaker 3: I do ignowledge. I like, he acknowledged the fact that
Speaker 3: he does wear a fade and it's not a haircut
Speaker 3: he created.
Speaker 1: Right, And yeah, he had to clarify that because.
Speaker 3: He was like, I think it's somebody told me. He said, literally,
Speaker 3: don't do that. See me during Black History he said, don't.
Speaker 1: Throw me to the wolves.
Speaker 2: He said, don't throw me to the wolves and do
Speaker 2: that to me the being a Black History month, like
Speaker 2: I came up with the fade.
Speaker 1: No truly boom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, sir, Yeah, we'll give you that. We'll give
Speaker 3: you that. But I'm seen in the egg so that
Speaker 3: I'm stealing Tailor Swift. I'm just like, Also, I saw
Speaker 3: that body he got. That's a whole man body. That's
Speaker 3: a whole man body, right, he gonna he must sleep
Speaker 3: with Tailor Swift and in pieces like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: that's a whole man that's a whole Midwestern.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Midwest.
Speaker 3: Has a California body. She ain't. That ain't Midwest boy,
Speaker 3: she don't what is she?
Speaker 1: Right? Right? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I looked up. I was like how is this even?
Speaker 1: Yeah, diagrams available.
Speaker 3: I mean listen, because he can't get you can't get misse.
Speaker 3: Then she dies like she's gone. She's gone. If she
Speaker 3: disappears like I can't.
Speaker 1: He has great body control, you know, like as a
Speaker 1: NFL player, like get cut down, drag it along the
Speaker 1: you know. I feel that I feel like he'd be
Speaker 1: able to pull things off.
Speaker 3: Listen, listen. I'm gonna tell you right now, she ain't
Speaker 3: got enough body to push back against that body if
Speaker 3: he if this owners ain't up, she's gone. She's gone.
Speaker 3: She's in the mattress. She's a car zone. She is
Speaker 3: a cutout in his bed. She's a kool aid man.
Speaker 3: She don't have the body to push back against his body.
Speaker 3: If he lays completely on her, her breath is gone.
Speaker 1: Right, they gotta get a reverse kool aid Man where
Speaker 1: it's just a hole in the wall and him sitting
Speaker 1: there saying, oh no, yeah, she went yeah.
Speaker 3: She is mush like a looney tone.
Speaker 1: There is no way.
Speaker 3: There is actulutely no way. He's never been on top.
Speaker 3: She died, and I have no ill will towards the
Speaker 3: young lady. But when I saw him with the muscles
Speaker 3: in a little bit, little pooch little, that's all. That's
Speaker 3: a whole man, ma'am.
Speaker 1: Two hundred and fifty pounds.
Speaker 3: You don't know, and that's a lie.
Speaker 2: It's a whole.
Speaker 3: No, they say that to be cute. That ain't two
Speaker 3: fifty promise you? That promise you that I'm a hole
Speaker 3: man when I see one?
Speaker 2: No, what do you think that's two sixty to seventy?
Speaker 4: Listen?
Speaker 3: I won't speculate, but I'm not mad at the packete.
Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: want him to talk to me. But right, but when
Speaker 3: he opened his nof all I heard was lemon pepper wings.
Speaker 1: But you're talking about a man with one of the
Speaker 1: most popular podcasts in America. So he's he's our hero.
Speaker 1: We miles and I just listened to him talk and
Speaker 1: try and you know figure out I.
Speaker 4: Will not it's a secret.
Speaker 2: You know what's his secret.
Speaker 3: It's not annunciation. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: When he's saying Viva las Vegas, I was like, are
Speaker 2: we okay?
Speaker 3: Because man's an uncle? What are they talking about? They
Speaker 3: see a forty year old man when a twenty five
Speaker 3: year old what are you talking about.
Speaker 1: Right right, although they were both born in eighty nine,
Speaker 1: so but his energy, I feel you right, that's the
Speaker 1: name of that album, nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a birth year. Let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll come back and finish off with
Speaker 1: a news story. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: We're back, and we might as well stay in the
Speaker 1: great state of Ohio from whence Travis Kelsey came and
Speaker 1: you know, they're series about their football there. They have
Speaker 1: the Football Hall of Fame. There's a mega church in
Speaker 1: Ohio that was like, on first pass, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're just doing like a little marketing thing like the
Speaker 1: Bud Bowl or the Puppy Bowl or you know, like
Speaker 1: counter that's just trying to draft off of the popularity
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl. So this megachurch in Ohio did
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Sunday of preaching. Yeah, we love that.
Speaker 2: I oh man, there's at least on the on the flyer,
Speaker 2: like there's at least five people. This is the flyer
Speaker 2: right here, just to give you an idea of how
Speaker 2: the whole thing was being Crossroads Churches.
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is the White megachurch.
Speaker 2: Yeah there, and they are screaming in these promotional materials,
Speaker 2: and yeah, a lot of people are like what the fuck. Okay,
Speaker 2: the vibe kind of has like a fucked up WWE event.
Speaker 1: But here this is the image. So for the listeners,
Speaker 1: the image has three people like just screaming, mouths wide open,
Speaker 1: screaming at the camera. One person looking at the camera
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna fuck you up, like I'm going to
Speaker 1: straight up fuck you up. Like the guy who looks
Speaker 1: the most like a pastor is like, you know, sixty
Speaker 1: five year old old guy who's better looking at.
Speaker 3: And then some guy dresses like a referee. I guess
Speaker 3: it's just like I understand. But also it's just like
Speaker 3: football is supposed to be like America's game, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I think we all like that's why all I understand
Speaker 3: why church would have like counter programming to the super Bowl,
Speaker 3: because I thought we were all like God loves super Bowl.
Speaker 2: This is where they this is the genius part, because
Speaker 2: they found a way to create like an event over
Speaker 2: like a Bible quote.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: This is just some This is them talking about one
Speaker 2: of the events they're doing in this super Bowl of preaching.
Speaker 2: And each quarter preachers will be given a random phrase
Speaker 2: that they must effectively work into their message.
Speaker 1: And my understanding is these are completely random.
Speaker 3: They have never seen them before.
Speaker 1: Seriously, it's improbably.
Speaker 3: Folks, time to meet our players. Let's head down to
Speaker 3: the field today.
Speaker 2: Starting line.
Speaker 1: They have people like sitting at a desk like they're yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a church.
Speaker 2: This looks like ww Undertaker just came out. It's wrestling,
Speaker 2: all right, So this one dude came out. Then we
Speaker 2: got another couple coming out the Red team. I guess
Speaker 2: the people in chief tricks first of all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it says Ohio measure chart past tricks. Yeah, Ali Patterson,
Speaker 3: is that a typo? You think it has a typo?
Speaker 2: I think that may be like a pun on, like
Speaker 2: being like a female pastor or something.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a pun or.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that there is that? Just the term like
Speaker 1: actress past risks pastrick.
Speaker 3: That's not that's that's not necessary. You can know you
Speaker 3: could be a pastor pastor because like I've never heard
Speaker 3: this term in my life unless that woman is making
Speaker 3: it necessary for people to know, Like the term comedian.
Speaker 3: I don't like that term right right, Like I said
Speaker 3: first speak for it, right, so they're kicking.
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, we haven't even gotten to this for
Speaker 1: but for listeners at home. So it does say like
Speaker 1: Pastrix is about to do something wild in the in
Speaker 1: the Twitter description. And then these people are running onto
Speaker 1: stage with like the steam like when a when an
Speaker 1: NFL team enters, and there's like fog shooting, like jetting
Speaker 1: up into the ye like it's letting off like steam
Speaker 1: that would just like boil the flesh off a bone
Speaker 1: like that. That's kind of the vibe it's getting, you
Speaker 1: know what.
Speaker 2: It's a term used by some Christians who refuse to
Speaker 2: recognize female pastors.
Speaker 3: But it's also a term that looks like it's from
Speaker 3: medieval Latin. Yeah, apparently it's been around for a long time,
Speaker 3: a synonym of pastor.
Speaker 1: Rests, oh, pastor res, thank you listen.
Speaker 3: We've never done this, Like it's like the actor and actress,
Speaker 3: but then there's not like director, directress writer righteous like trust.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm saying. I want to know coming
Speaker 1: in if I'm seeing a doctor or a doctress. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want to be surprised.
Speaker 3: So they've they've kicked the Bible.
Speaker 1: Well, see this is where we go.
Speaker 2: They get to the now they do a coin toss
Speaker 2: for what they say is the kickoff. And this is
Speaker 2: what's really got people's attention, because like, wait, what the fuck.
Speaker 1: Is going on?
Speaker 2: When lands call it in the air, heads or tails.
Speaker 1: It, Let's just go with tails.
Speaker 2: Would you like to kick or receive the Bible?
Speaker 4: I will receive you.
Speaker 2: You will receive to receive the Bible. Okay, So one
Speaker 2: guy is holding a Bible kick holding it like it's
Speaker 2: a fucking field goal.
Speaker 1: W about to kick it into the crowd.
Speaker 2: That a touchback, fucking belted the Bible into the crowd.
Speaker 2: I was like, hold on, now, I haven't been to
Speaker 2: church in a minute, but from what I do remember,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure you can't be curb stomping the word
Speaker 2: of God as part of like last I.
Speaker 3: Checked, I don't think you're supposed to be kicking a Bible. Yeah, Church, Honestly,
Speaker 3: this makes less sense. Did I remember the old school
Speaker 3: white Pentecostal snake handling this that makes more sense because
Speaker 3: there were holding snakes being like even this animal that
Speaker 3: took down Eve and brought Adam and Eve out of
Speaker 3: the Garden of Eden that you know is the symbol
Speaker 3: of evil. The Lord will protect me, even if this
Speaker 3: bites me, even this venomous snake, The Lord will protect me.
Speaker 3: You're testing God, but it makes more sense than what
Speaker 3: we just want. Charming makes more sense than you kicking
Speaker 3: the word of God into an audience. Also, before she
Speaker 3: kicked it during the cooint offs, she punched him at
Speaker 3: his chest, like, you know what, honestly, if this is
Speaker 3: the life of a pastrix, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, why not punch it, dude of a past tricks.
Speaker 1: I Also he called the coin toss tales, which is
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be kicking, which was just really sweaty
Speaker 1: and like he had written it this. It feels like
Speaker 1: the whole thing feels like a miss guided like high
Speaker 1: school like comedy sketch, Like what did you ever like
Speaker 1: have a class where the teacher is like, or you
Speaker 1: could make a video and then like the least funny
Speaker 1: kids in your class like made a comedy video, right, Yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 3: Thought it was gifted classes and they didn't make.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's like it's just interesting because
Speaker 2: with all the hate filled rhetoric that comes out of
Speaker 2: like churches, nowadays, it makes sense that there's be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: watch this, I'm gonna kick the ship out about what
Speaker 2: I want to listen.
Speaker 3: If we're getting to this, it's I mean, you're truly
Speaker 3: it's like you're dealing with the population that needs more.
Speaker 3: They can't just sit in church and just listen to
Speaker 3: the word of God. Like there has to be like
Speaker 3: a thing, right, m I just don't know if there
Speaker 3: was a different way to handle all of that. For instance,
Speaker 3: you didn't have to kick a Bible. You could have
Speaker 3: kicked a football.
Speaker 1: With like John something written a you know what what
Speaker 1: a Bible verse like yeah written on the side of it.
Speaker 4: You could have.
Speaker 1: Gotten it football.
Speaker 3: Because this is the thing. There was no point in
Speaker 3: the kicking of whatever got kicked. So it's like, okay,
Speaker 3: there's a coin toss and then now here's a Bible
Speaker 3: run with it or whatever. But it's just like, okay,
Speaker 3: who's The whole point was to go who's going first?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: What did you are you kicking or receiving the Bible first?
Speaker 3: I didn't even catch it. So it's just like, does
Speaker 3: he truly care about God's word because he didn't even
Speaker 3: catch the Bible? But like you're doing.
Speaker 1: I'm scared he.
Speaker 3: Was because the Bible got kicked at him and it scared.
Speaker 3: Books don't fly at people balls, dude, I love just
Speaker 3: forget goofy and they all vote. It's like Republicans don't
Speaker 3: love God like.
Speaker 4: They don't themselves.
Speaker 1: It's intellectual cover.
Speaker 3: This is the work of white Jesus because the hair
Speaker 3: like wolf feet like Bron's Middle East, and Jewish Jesus
Speaker 3: that I pray to daily would have allowed this. Also,
Speaker 3: I think he played soccer.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, he would gonna say he'd throw a
Speaker 1: flag on this one. But you're right, it would have
Speaker 1: been a cart Yeah, that's record damnation.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a violation truly all sides.
