Speaker 1: You know, man of a certain age, white man of
Speaker 1: a certain age. We are contractually obligated to go see
Speaker 1: Vampire Weekend when they're into course, so I did that
Speaker 1: in a lot of my contractual obligation and they were awesome.
Speaker 1: And then they brought out Tim Robinson and do you know,
Speaker 1: I think you should leave?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know the Dangerous Most of your words
Speaker 1: are quotes from that, you know, the Dangerous Night's Crew song,
Speaker 1: like at the end of the Dangerous Nights video, the
Speaker 1: Sloppy Stakes, and then like you beat when he's on
Speaker 1: the beach and looks over and the baby's there. I
Speaker 1: love that song. I've looked for it on I find it.
Speaker 1: It's Vampire Weekend. Their first encore was like, hey, so
Speaker 1: we helped this guy write the song for the show.
Speaker 2: That My god. I'm a little bummed how quiet the
Speaker 2: crowd is when he comes out, though, But I get
Speaker 2: I guess that you can't expect a plurality of Vampire
Speaker 2: Weekend fans to be I'll scream if I see Tim
Speaker 2: Robinson people.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, so I don't know what the overlap is.
Speaker 3: I'm processing it too where it's like it's not a musician.
Speaker 1: It's a reveal too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way he came out in his hood, you
Speaker 2: almost believe maybe he was a little like a piece
Speaker 2: of ship literal pie, Like, I wonder who that is.
Speaker 2: I'm glad they helped that guy. He looks like such
Speaker 2: a shovel.
Speaker 1: He does look like such a piece of ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I bet like a plurality of the audience is just like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that was nice when they brought out that, like make
Speaker 1: a wish kid.
Speaker 3: But that's my favorite is that saying that he's a
Speaker 3: piece of ship is so vague. It's not like he
Speaker 3: was an adulterer or like he was a Criminal's right,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a slang term which basically.

Speaker 1: you know requires like three to four puppies per batch, so.
Speaker 2: It's really good ones.

Speaker 3: it and next to dick in real small type it
Speaker 3: says to garn with a big picture of Dick de Garon,
Speaker 3: the lawyer for Robert Thurst in the trials. And I
Speaker 3: think I can sell three of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do you talk? What kind of fucking references
Speaker 2: of all their dicks? More like a cowboy hat?
Speaker 3: That's the visual is quite fun, right, Oh, maybe it
Speaker 3: should be a hat. It should be a cowboy hat
Speaker 3: that says I'm a dick to garon head, because hat
Speaker 3: goes on your head and a picture of Garon on it.
Speaker 3: Maybe not like one of those signatures like you would
Speaker 3: see on a baseball card, fake ones.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, to work shop. Don't forget David Koresh too?
Speaker 2: And do you do not forget about David? Never forget
Speaker 2: about it?
Speaker 1: Well, he never left, so I don't know why we
Speaker 1: forget about him.
Speaker 2: He's still here in a way.
Speaker 1: All right, Blake, we're gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in the moment. First, we're going to
Speaker 1: tell our listener to a couple of things we might
Speaker 1: get to today or we might not. Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: on a begging tour in Washington, d C. To have
Speaker 1: his charges overturned. These are selony charges have turned out
Speaker 1: to be a real thorn in that guy.
Speaker 2: Motivator.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he's p o. It's it seems like it's
Speaker 1: really getting to him. So we'll talk about that. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about what the right is signaling the next rights
Speaker 1: that they're going to try to take away? Is that
Speaker 1: why they're called the right because they like to take
Speaker 1: away people's rights.
Speaker 2: The next rights left of them? Not called the wrongs?
Speaker 1: Wow, and now and think about that, listener, Maybe they
Speaker 1: should be called the wrong.
Speaker 2: Hey, has Biden tapped you yet for his campaign?
Speaker 3: He's been working on could use your hell phone service.
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll we'll talk about just what what rights
Speaker 1: they're going to take away next, because they've told us
Speaker 1: via some Southern Baptist convention they usually is where they
Speaker 1: tip their hand a little bit. We'll talk about Donald
Speaker 1: Trump shitting on Milwaukee. Uh and North Dakota just became
Speaker 1: the first state to approve an age limit for politicians. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which look at that.
Speaker 2: And that, but we like it. It's a start, I know,
Speaker 2: it really is.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about that. What like how what
Speaker 1: what stands in the way. Apparently there's like seventy two
Speaker 1: percent popular support for an age limit on like the president,
Speaker 1: which makes sense, like I had great, Yeah, it should
Speaker 1: be like forty Poles have found the majority of Americans
Speaker 1: think that both Biden and Trump are tooled served. Only
Speaker 1: eleven percent said neither of them are, and then over
Speaker 1: seventy Uh no, never mind. Anyways, we'll talk. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about it. We'll get to the hot ye gets that
Speaker 1: I'm holding back. That's called a tease.
Speaker 2: Baby. Yeah, God, I can't read, Baby God, I can't.
Speaker 1: Find the stat that I was looking for because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of words and I'm sleepy. Before we get
Speaker 1: to any of that, Blake, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 3: Search history? I didn't realize that this was a this
Speaker 3: is a thing. But rodent men, hot, rodent men.
Speaker 2: We're talking about this, Yeah, talking about did you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So fucking move on, man, sometimes Okay.
Speaker 3: My underrated oh gold back Blake's Hot Takes aka yesterday
Speaker 3: on TDZ Yesterday.
Speaker 2: Geez you do, dude, just listen to the last episode
Speaker 2: and the fucking steal that and come on or something.
Speaker 3: So I'm really trying to drive traffic all of Froster
Speaker 3: platform right now, and it's bad marketing what you're doing.
Speaker 2: What's your feeling on what's your feeling on rat boys?
Speaker 3: I think whatever you guys said yesterday was a great
Speaker 3: that's the right way to think about it. I obviously,
Speaker 3: I think it's an incredibly insulting way of speaking about
Speaker 3: someone while they're hot, right while also saying they're hot
Speaker 3: and also being wrong about that because they're not hot.
Speaker 3: I would say most of these guys that they're showing
Speaker 3: are objectively really ugly people, but I don't like saying that.
Speaker 1: So you don't like bringing being mean to these guys
Speaker 1: who you judge to be objectively really ugly.
Speaker 3: Yes, leave them in a dark hot, leave them in
Speaker 3: the shadows and let them be, let them exist, And
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's just it's it's not necessary.
Speaker 2: Don't even really the name who creates a fire? Who
Speaker 2: creates a fire in your loins when you cast you?
Speaker 1: Who's a hot guy for you?
Speaker 2: Then? Yeah, just so I can kind of understand where
Speaker 2: we're at here, that's.
Speaker 3: What was the name of the actor who played monk
Speaker 3: oh Tony Shalub, Tony Shaloup.
Speaker 2: That's mine that they're not get Come on now, be honest,
Speaker 2: I would say that who's the hottest guy to you?
Speaker 3: Here's here's actually I will say that in a moment.
Speaker 3: But okay, I and I will and I will.
Speaker 2: Get that politician answer, and I will and I will
Speaker 2: get First, I want to push back on the premise
Speaker 2: of the question.
Speaker 3: But first I want to talk about immigration, So immigrant
Speaker 3: and the last I want to talk about immigration. When
Speaker 3: I'm halfway through that, I'll get back to the rat boys.
Speaker 3: So I actually think the one the rodent man alleged
Speaker 3: rodent mean from the bearer, And I know we're talking
Speaker 3: a lot of animals yes, I think he's circumvented man
Speaker 3: by Jacked. Yeah, I think he's too like, you know,
Speaker 3: to ripple to be erode it exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then the guy that I think is like is
Speaker 3: so good looking and charming, the guy who's the lead
Speaker 3: in Dark Matter right now. He's Australian. His name is
Speaker 3: excapes me. But he's he's great and I see he's
Speaker 3: he looks great with a beard, he looks Joe Edgerton.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: You ever see his uh directorial debut, The Gift.
Speaker 2: No, and I won't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that'll change your oping.
Speaker 2: That what you've brought.
Speaker 1: It looks like a dog. He was ugly a ship
Speaker 1: good never mind, No, it's like written directed by him.
Speaker 1: I believe stars him as like the world's biggest creep.
Speaker 1: It's really but it's good.
Speaker 3: But if that's the only thing I saw of him,
Speaker 3: Oh no, that's the one that I'm facing this off up.
Speaker 1: I love. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Have you seen his brother, Nash Edgerton. Don't you dare

Speaker 3: of job. And this is this is off is it

Speaker 3: You're help trying to drive traffic, not to drive people away.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to drive them to the previous episode.
Speaker 1: Fifty is being spooned while someone puts a popsicycle in around.
Speaker 2: No, that's fifty one fifty. That's cute, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm just picturing you being fifty one by Joel Edgerton
Speaker 1: and it's like, really nice. There's nothing like dark about it,
Speaker 1: to be honest with me, both know.
Speaker 2: I also I imagine him having like a paper towel too,
Speaker 2: because paper.
Speaker 1: Towel along beside that is the only dark thing. The
Speaker 1: only dark thing is is if there's just uh no, no,
Speaker 1: if there's no, people, there's just popsicle stuff coming out
Speaker 1: of the side.
Speaker 2: Of your Yeah, and it's only one.
Speaker 1: It gets weird and like Slay sloppy.
Speaker 2: It's like those sloppy mess cooking videos on TikTok. You're like,
Speaker 2: this can't be about I think it's about the mess.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I would actually just get an absorbent pillow and put
Speaker 3: that under my face so Joel wouldn't even have to
Speaker 3: deal with it, so he could just be in the
Speaker 3: moment and then just let wait, who's this for? Is
Speaker 3: it for Joel or is it for you? I'm eating
Speaker 3: the popsicle popsicles for me. I don't understand what's so
Speaker 3: complicated about this. It's called fifty one.
Speaker 2: I hope you're doing a lot of labor for someone.
Speaker 1: Skull.
Speaker 2: What is what's the under rated? Underrated?
Speaker 3: Shazam the app that tells you what songs are playing? Okay,
Speaker 3: so recently I use it daily and I have such
Speaker 3: bad taste in music, and I don't even know if
Speaker 3: it's bad taste. I think I just don't have any
Speaker 3: I don't know how to find music. And for instance,
Speaker 3: whenever I literally people fast forward, I hear through Mark
Speaker 3: Marin's intros and WTF. Famously, I don't do that. I
Speaker 3: love them, But I in this show all fast forward.
Speaker 1: You don't listen to the interviews, right.
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't even I've never heard another voice
Speaker 3: in the podcast except a Joel Edgerton interview. But he
Speaker 3: But I fast forward to the end of this so
Speaker 3: I can hear Miles's music recommendations or Dustin when Justin
Speaker 3: does them, because truly I do know bit actually like
Speaker 3: I always add those songs because I just don't find music.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I used to do it when I was listening to
Speaker 3: music in my car, like on the radio or whatever,
Speaker 3: and make like a.
Speaker 2: Note of it. So I guess it's been like fifteen
Speaker 2: years I've been able.
Speaker 1: Where are you shazaming things? You just like going buy
Speaker 1: a car with its windows down?
Speaker 2: Like that happened the other day. Really I did that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they were stuck at a stoplight and rolled down your window.
Speaker 2: What is this? What is this?
Speaker 1: What is this? Is this? Guy? Was this guy? It was?
Speaker 3: It was a convertible, so you know, the music was good.
Speaker 3: Yeah the other day I have to I have to
Speaker 3: be a little quet but like neighbor, it was it
Speaker 3: was yeah, Loggins through the wall. I could hear him
Speaker 3: blasting music in my house. So I held my phone
Speaker 3: up to the wall shazam and I shazammed a song
Speaker 3: his song through the wall, and it was like a
Speaker 3: song by Portugal the Man. I'm like, I fucking love
Speaker 3: this song. And I just started listening to a ton
Speaker 3: of their music. And then I went to a concert.
Speaker 1: Oh really, Portal the Man this show, Yeah, yeah, they
Speaker 1: are shout out man.
Speaker 2: I like, I bought a hat. I have a Portugal
Speaker 2: the manhat.
Speaker 3: I listened to them all the time, literally because the
Speaker 3: zeitgeist oh amazing, as they should it should exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't know why we're even mentioning that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like about the Empire weekend before
Speaker 1: we started, obviously huge fans of the show.
Speaker 2: Art the Man should bring us on stage, like these
Speaker 2: two guys are real pieces of ship.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the pot there was no reference to anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, alright, these two pigs, all right, get out of here,
Speaker 3: pig grand generation.

Speaker 2: you sho started? It was modern? Modern?
Speaker 3: That one that one I had heard of that was
Speaker 3: like the big one. It was called Modern Jesus and
Speaker 3: then red, yellow, purple blue probably not the right colors.
Speaker 3: Waves all from that one album. I was like really
Speaker 3: into it. And then I saw them in Philly whenever
Speaker 3: that was, and they were great.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, the tech industry as off the
Speaker 1: rails is they have steered our entire civilization over the
Speaker 1: past ten years. They have yours. Just they and I
Speaker 1: am just reading this word for word from what Blake
Speaker 1: wrote in.
Speaker 2: The doc No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: As much as they have fucked us with this AI bullshit.
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like me, they they've.
Speaker 1: Bought themselves, Like I think I'm giving them at least
Speaker 1: another four years just because of Zam. Yeah, Shazam and
Speaker 1: the bird Shazam that I can't stop talking about is.
Speaker 2: It's called Merlin.
Speaker 1: Merlin, Merlin. It's brought to you by I think Cornell University,
Speaker 1: and right, yeah, is that what they're called the Big Red?
Speaker 3: I know all the Ivy League teams.
Speaker 2: The Big Red.
Speaker 1: Anyways, it's a great app. Shazam is a great app.
Speaker 1: But you've got five more years the tech industry and
Speaker 1: then you need to dom yeah, you need, you need enough.
Speaker 1: Another thing that just solves a basic human problem.
Speaker 2: What about this? We can we can give custom names
Speaker 2: to your farts.
Speaker 3: If another three months, another three months, alright, that'll buy
Speaker 3: you about a week.
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna lie that will buy you a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 1: That's but like they're really good, really great part names. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: hear what you think is overrated? Blake, Okay, that's not
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: I'll be here Tri City Dust double.
Speaker 1: And we're back and Blake mm hmm Wexler. What if
Speaker 1: something you think's overrated? Jack?

Speaker 2: I love it when it comes on the TV screen
Speaker 2: and they're like they expect me to get my phone
Speaker 2: out and scanning in three seconds when it shows up.
Speaker 1: Fuck you Yeah, Oh you can't read QR codes like
Speaker 1: with your own brain? Oh I can meet that I
Speaker 1: actually we're good for you. For you that's one of
Speaker 1: my uh extra languages them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's how interesting.
Speaker 3: Wait, well, what's it? What's your beef with the QR code.
Speaker 3: It's like we were just saying, I feel like they
Speaker 3: never load. You need good internet when you're using them where.
Speaker 1: We don't have in America. I could see working in
Speaker 1: Korea or Japan.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it is true, objected measurably. We do not
Speaker 2: have the best.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: It sucks, shit, it's crazy, it's insane. And often the
Speaker 3: cool spots that I go to they're underground, you know.
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, you need to find hot spots, bro,
Speaker 3: not cool. You gotta find an Internet window. And uh
Speaker 3: there's also I don't like how they leave the fucking
Speaker 3: windows open on your browser where I'll go look for
Speaker 3: my recent Google search for this show and it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: here's eighty menus. Right, it's crazy from you at an airport.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah. And now yet, like you said, they're
Speaker 2: on commercials, they're everywhere. The thing that I really don't understand,
Speaker 2: like sometimes I get it, like if it's like in
Speaker 2: a fixed position and you want a lot more information,
Speaker 2: you can scan it like I've definitely done that before,
Speaker 2: but like the way they definitely try and just like
Speaker 2: on commercials try and do it or like TV broadcasts,
Speaker 2: I'm like, y'all, I get that a lot of people
Speaker 2: probably are holding their phones, but the amount of time
Speaker 2: that the ship is up there, it's like no one's
Speaker 2: pausing the TV. It doesn't fo scan it. And that's
Speaker 2: where you're like, are they I mean the thing, QR
Speaker 2: codes have been for a long time, man, so it's
Speaker 2: way longer than we think. Shit. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Think a guy that was working at a Toyota plant
Speaker 3: invented QR codes. Well time's up. Yeah, that's what I
Speaker 3: have to say. At times it's been too long, it's
Speaker 3: time to take them out. I like to color over
Speaker 3: them in sharpie so people can't use them.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen it, like one of those
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory cars you know that has like weird conspiracies
Speaker 1: written all over them. Yeah. Yeah, I think I've seen
Speaker 1: one of those with QR codes driving around LA, like.
Speaker 2: A hand painted one or like no no. I think
Speaker 2: they like printed it off the internet and thank god,
Speaker 2: put some effort in your conspiracy theory cars.
Speaker 3: That would that would be funny is if they're like, listen,
Speaker 3: I don't like what bumper stickers do the esthetics of
Speaker 3: my cars. So I think we can actually condense it
Speaker 3: into one single all my QR into one QR code,
Speaker 3: and this car we believe Q is readying the storm.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh, fuck, yeah, there it is. I shouldn't stand.
Speaker 1: It all right. Well, speaking of Q, the man himself,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has gone on a bit of a begging
Speaker 1: tour in watching DC to have his charges overturned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, Yeah, he's visiting the on Thursday, visited the
Speaker 2: fucking Capitol, which is a WoT. I'm like, when was
Speaker 2: the last time he was there?
Speaker 3: January sixth Maybe he wasn't there when he was president,
Speaker 3: when he lived there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well when it was so he was he was
Speaker 2: still there. I mean, I don't know. He's there, I
Speaker 2: guess right now, officially under the guise of discussing his
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five agenda with the Republicans, but that's basically
Speaker 2: just a cover for Speaker Mike Johnson. That Speaker Mike
Speaker 2: Johnson came up with for the official invitation, But really
Speaker 2: he's trying to convince Republicans in the House and Senate
Speaker 2: that they can and should help him get out of
Speaker 2: his legal troubles. So this second he was convicted in
Speaker 2: New York, he was basically on the phone with Speaker
Speaker 2: of the House, Mike god has front row seats at
Speaker 2: my jerk off shows Johnson, Yeah, to get him to
Speaker 2: do something. And Johnson was willing to entertain this terrible
Speaker 2: idea because he thinks he knows the law but clearly
Speaker 2: doesn't obviously, as exemplified by all the not real legal
Speaker 2: theories that he thought could form the basis for overturning
Speaker 2: the election.
Speaker 1: Four years ago.
Speaker 2: But the army of boot throwers think that they can
Speaker 2: go after Alvin Bragg and Fannie Willis to help Trump.
Speaker 2: But these are all just fantasies because Democratic Senate, where
Speaker 2: even if they get out of the House, they're gonna
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, get the shut the fuck up with
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 1: I could see the Democrats finding a way to fuck
Speaker 1: it up though, Oh well, we got both sides this.
Speaker 2: One, and we're like, we do like young Thug and
Speaker 2: we're not really into the rico charges he's facing down
Speaker 2: there on Fulham Council. Just on Thug's behalf you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, But yeah, they've tried this dumb shit before,
Speaker 2: and like all it does is like waste time. But yeah,
Speaker 2: no matter how much mining Trump's gonna do or has done,
Speaker 2: it might not get more than just rhetorical support because
Speaker 2: the margins are too slim. In the House. There's already
Speaker 2: p being like, I don't know if I can campaign
Speaker 2: on like vote for me so I can try and
Speaker 2: find a way to get these felony convictions to go
Speaker 2: away in New York and not everyone's in on it.
Speaker 2: So and like it's funny, like you know, in political
Speaker 2: interviews people on the Hill, there's always like a Republican
Speaker 2: senator who asked for anonymity who like says the same
Speaker 2: thing where they're like, you know, my colleagues are saying
Speaker 2: that accusing the Democrats are weaponizing the justice system. I mean,
Speaker 2: if we're doing I mean, wouldn't we just be doing
Speaker 2: the exact same No, it's a it's a bunch of gobbledygook.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know, I don't. I mean he's trying,
Speaker 2: but not sure where the will or the you know,
Speaker 2: the mechanisms to make that happen will.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Actually it takes a place in time for it.
Speaker 1: It makes sense to me that this is like a
Speaker 1: big deal for him. Like the more distance we've gotten
Speaker 1: from it, Like at first, I was like, he'll probably
Speaker 1: just like bounce back from this or like just ignore
Speaker 1: it and it'll be a slap on the wrist or something.
Speaker 1: But there are some early indications it's like dinged him
Speaker 1: a little bit, and polls like, probably not as much
Speaker 1: as some people were hoping, but some voters do seem
Speaker 1: to be a little bit put off by the fact
Speaker 1: that he's now convicted fell In. And I feel like
Speaker 1: the thing that's hurting him is that his brand is corruption,
Speaker 1: but it's like being good at it, you know, like
Speaker 1: it right, Like remember in twenty sixteen during the election
Speaker 1: where he would play, yeah, why are you paying taxes?
Speaker 1: Because I'm smart, that's why. Because yeah, his whole thing
Speaker 1: is that he's good at being corrupt, and like that's
Speaker 1: what makes him smart. And then he just like got
Speaker 1: caught doing like the most low level criminal bullshit, like
Speaker 1: like and all the scum bag yeah, just rich scumbag,
Speaker 1: like total bullshit, you know, Michael Cohen, like all the
Speaker 1: things were there, Like he's like he's a liar, he's terrible.
Speaker 1: He's it's like, yeah, well he was working for you,
Speaker 1: Like that's you're supposed to be like this slick, corrupt
Speaker 1: business man and you had this dufis working for you,
Speaker 1: So like that reflects poorly on you. And like when
Speaker 1: he's not staying one step ahead of the cops, it
Speaker 1: really is deflating to this mythos that he had like
Speaker 1: built up just by being a very consistent liar that
Speaker 1: was able to just like hammer away with all the
Speaker 1: money that he you know, had and until people would
Speaker 1: just not want to deal with the pain, right, And
Speaker 1: so it feels like if I am pulling for someone
Speaker 1: who is, like I suspect is corrupt, but I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's smart and like he gets the job done.
Speaker 1: And then he gets caught doing some dumb bullshit like this,
Speaker 1: like that, I can see where that would be massively deflating.
Speaker 1: And then having him like continue to whine and like
Speaker 1: winge like like this, Like I feel like it could
Speaker 1: be at least temporarily like like that. Uh, when that
Speaker 1: Macy's Day float got impaled by the light pole and
Speaker 1: just like deflated in three seconds, right right right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's embarrassing too, because he's always been such a line jumper,
Speaker 3: you know, like he always gets to the front of
Speaker 3: the line, Yeah, with through no skill generally generally money
Speaker 3: talking and deceit you know, so maybe that is a skill.
Speaker 3: He is skillfully deceitful. But now he's not at the
Speaker 3: front of the line anymore, and he can't even make calls,
Speaker 3: you know, like he actually had to bring his ass
Speaker 3: to Washington, which is so embarrassing, Like the guy. The
Speaker 3: guy doesn't want to be in Washington ever, and he
Speaker 3: can't even like be, oh, can I make some calls
Speaker 3: or can someone go in my place? He actually has
Speaker 3: to go in person and talk to this ass.
Speaker 1: I mean, no, it's true.
Speaker 2: I think that is an indication, right, because usually people
Speaker 2: would flock tomor a lago to fucking you know, sniff
Speaker 2: his dandriff and be like exactly you lord. But the
Speaker 2: fact that he has like the summoning or I'm clearly
Speaker 2: clearly for him whether or not they are going or not.
Speaker 2: He's like me just streaming about it isn't enough. I
Speaker 2: need to get in their fucking faces and beg them
Speaker 2: or you know, tell them what I need or whatever.
Speaker 2: But it I mean, the Republican Senate is like, like,
Speaker 2: you know, some people aren't even bothering to meet with him,
Speaker 2: So yeah, I get what you mean. Like and when
Speaker 2: like you're saying, Jack, when people are used to seeing
Speaker 2: you one way and suddenly that shifts, like it does
Speaker 2: make shit. Well it's like, I mean, this is sort
Speaker 2: of a terrible example, but like even like with the
Speaker 2: Drake Kendrick beef, like Drake was on on top and
Speaker 2: Kendrick made him look dumb, and everyone's sort of like
Speaker 2: I kind of look at him a lot different now
Speaker 2: because and it's just sort of like, yeah, when your
Speaker 2: brand is one way, all it takes, like damn, Dode,
Speaker 2: you got smacked like that in public. Yeah, usually he
Speaker 2: blocks it or ducts it.
Speaker 1: But he really think about that one in the mouth.
Speaker 1: When you think about how he was during the trial.
Speaker 1: He was like so like above it and like yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like beneath me bullshit, and like that is
Speaker 1: just it. It was assuming and like projecting like this
Speaker 1: is who I am. I'm going to continue to be
Speaker 1: this unflappable teflon, Like I mean they called him the
Speaker 1: Teflon Dawn and like and then so when that just
Speaker 1: like that unflappable, like falling asleep in court, farting yourself awake,
Speaker 1: thinking sorry, think it? What your fine?
Speaker 2: Tuning a new app that would custom name the Farts.
Speaker 1: Dude being startled by a bullfrog that happened to be nearby.
Speaker 1: But like that, it just makes him look stupid, Like
Speaker 1: the thing that he always that has always made him
Speaker 1: to those people look kind of tough and in charge,
Speaker 1: ends up making him look stupid. So I hate to
Speaker 1: see it. You do hate to see it. We're just
Speaker 1: pulling for him to make a comeback and everything to
Speaker 1: be all right in his world. We're just praying for him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And speaking of prayer, I bet a lot of prayers
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump were coming out of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Speaker 2: Man, doesn't that sound like a fun thing to go to? Yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: I couldn't get in this.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: The aftermarket, Yeah dude, were in the thousands and I
Speaker 3: only sit in the front.
Speaker 2: So, uh, you know what the cross fifty yard lines
Speaker 2: those are my seats season tickets.
Speaker 1: Sprint when they put the microphone up for audience questions,
Speaker 1: I sprint to that, like.
Speaker 2: Just dive for it. But yeah, so so many of
Speaker 2: the terrible policies that come from the GOP have basically
Speaker 2: been telegraphed either through like what the evangelicals are angry
Speaker 2: about or what the online weirdos make their like main
Speaker 2: stories on their like web streams and ship And there
Speaker 2: are two new ish developments because we have sort of
Speaker 2: talked about this before, but these things are starting to
Speaker 2: get a lot more traction. So first, the Southern Baptist
Speaker 2: Convention aka the largest and most powerful Protestant group in
Speaker 2: the nation, has officially come out their position is to
Speaker 2: oppose IVF and this again has been something that has
Speaker 2: been talked about on the fringes more and more and more.
Speaker 2: And we saw the bills in the South where they're like, no,
Speaker 2: we got to protect these popsicles and from death. And
Speaker 2: it is now Blake's mouth, that.
Speaker 1: Is your weird kink. That was the type of popsicle
Speaker 1: that it was.
Speaker 3: And I don't talk about that publicly, but yes, you.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be on libs of TikTok if you said
Speaker 2: some ship like that about how you're like, this fucking
Speaker 2: freak goes to bed. His fantasy is to be spooned
Speaker 2: by Joel Edgerton while sucking down a frozen embryo.
Speaker 3: No, who books that, by the way, who books libs
Speaker 3: of TikTok?
Speaker 2: Because I have been. But yeah, so again, you know,
Speaker 2: the belief here is that IVF involves multiple embryos and
Speaker 2: so them being destroyed based on the basis of viability
Speaker 2: they're talking about, then you're you're killing the babies. So
Speaker 2: they got to save the babies. They did call for
Speaker 2: the adopt you.
Speaker 1: Worrying about less about what's viable and more about reading
Speaker 1: the biable.
Speaker 2: I tried that at the Yeah, they kicked you out.
Speaker 2: They knew, they knew from your tortoise shell glass frames
Speaker 2: that you were not one of them.
Speaker 1: You guys see the Vampire weekend concert here Vampire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean should I do on the weekend is
Speaker 2: praise fucking Christ. So they did call for again the
Speaker 2: adoption of frozen embryos so that they may be saved.
Speaker 2: But like, let's be real, like these fucking people don't
Speaker 2: give a fuck about any actual babies, or they would
Speaker 2: be screaming for better social services for children and like
Speaker 2: improving the adoption and foster care system. So nice, yeah,
Speaker 2: we get it. You had to just say that to
Speaker 2: pretend to be not fully you know, deeming people.
Speaker 1: And part of me was like, oh no, this is
Speaker 1: going to be a huge deal for all those like
Speaker 1: fundamentalist Baptist Christian IVF centers. But on the other hand,
Speaker 1: look what they've been able to do for reproductive take
Speaker 1: away people's reproductive right over the long run elsewhere.
Speaker 2: So yeah, which is wild because it's something that helps people,
Speaker 2: you know, be able to become pregnant. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they have to figure out how to just basically, you know,
Speaker 2: start they're all at war on people's freedom, especially to
Speaker 2: like marginalize and you know, take away any power that
Speaker 2: women may have gained over the last century. I'm so
Speaker 2: worried about.
Speaker 1: The population going down, but they're also like against people
Speaker 1: being able top procreate in some case the white population. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're popular population that comes directly from this.
Speaker 2: Well it depends too, because there's that version and then
Speaker 2: there's like the hyper capitalist you know, Elon Musk and
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos fantasy version of the population going down, which
Speaker 2: is more like a workforce. And also this like weird
Speaker 2: Caveman way, if.
Speaker 1: We have confirmation on that Wall Street Journal report that
Speaker 1: he was just like fucking interns at SpaceX and being like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know you should have my baby because i'm a
Speaker 1: high IQ.
Speaker 2: Well he's got eleven kids, are you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 2: and he talks you know that he's he's like he
Speaker 2: talked to that one dude, Like he's all into fucking
Speaker 2: trying to be the next fucking what's his name, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Genghis Khan basically. But anyway, the other thing that we're
Speaker 2: seeing more is more conservatives embracing the idea of getting
Speaker 2: rid of no fault divorces. We talked about this when
Speaker 2: we talked like last year about the first crow magnet
Speaker 2: man to get a podcast, Stephen Crowder, when he was
Speaker 2: like embroiled in a divorce where there were like receipts
Speaker 2: in four k of him being an abusive, shitty husband,
Speaker 2: and he began railing against no fault divorces, and we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I wonder if this is going to be a thing. Well,
Speaker 2: it's starting to be more of a thing. So prior
Speaker 2: to nineteen sixty nine, if you wanted a divorce, you
Speaker 2: had to go to a judge to prove that the
Speaker 2: other party engaged in abandonment, adultery, or cruelty, and this
Speaker 2: led to like traumatic, drawn out divorce trials or typically
Speaker 2: the party that had more money for legal maneuvering would win.
Speaker 2: And in some cases judges wouldn't even intervene an instances
Speaker 2: of abuse. So it was a fucking, full fucking system.
Speaker 2: Supporters of this regressive move say that quote making divorce
Speaker 2: too easy causes social upheaval, unfettered dishonesty, lawlessness, violence towards women,
Speaker 2: war on men, and expendability of children war on men,
Speaker 2: which is I don't think it, I'm sorry. No fault
Speaker 2: divorces actually put like helps to bring down rates of
Speaker 2: violence towards women.
Speaker 1: Yes, of course, that's like one of the main reasons
Speaker 1: it was created.
Speaker 2: You're not stuck in an abusive relationship. It also prevents
Speaker 2: men from having like insurmountable power, like an insurmountable power
Speaker 2: dynamic with their wives. It reduces like when these bills
Speaker 2: were first passed in the late sixties seventies, it like
Speaker 2: suicide rates for women started going down. Look, you can
Speaker 2: go on and on about why there's no reason to
Speaker 2: get rid of no fault divorce, but state Republican parties
Speaker 2: are bringing this policy shift into their own platform, so
Speaker 2: Home of State Senator Dusty Divers introduced a bill. Yeah
Speaker 2: waiting what Yeah, Dusty Devers, Dusty Divers, that's if you
Speaker 2: just switch the d's for bees, you'd have a weird
Speaker 2: ass like beavers. Now, now you're talking my language, busty beavers,
Speaker 2: talking about beavers, and they got that thick ass too.
Speaker 2: Come on, I don't see the New York Times riding
Speaker 2: about busty beavers.
Speaker 1: Huh. Maybe there he had.
Speaker 2: He introduced a bill to the states like for their
Speaker 2: own version of a no fault divorce. The Texican Texas
Speaker 2: Republican Party at like put a call to end the
Speaker 2: practice on their twenty twenty two platform, so it may
Speaker 2: come up again this year. JD. Vance and House Speaker
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson have also spoken in favor of tightening divorce laws.
Speaker 1: So, like, the terror.
Speaker 2: Campaign to bring back conservative values and basically go back
Speaker 2: to the eighteenth century is in full swing. It has
Speaker 2: not gone away. But you know, like we talked about
Speaker 2: in yesterday's trending episode, a bit of good news because
Speaker 2: of Supreme Court actually was like, no, you know what,
Speaker 2: We're gonna do the unthinkable and h tear this anti
Speaker 2: abortion lawsuit a new one and you know, slat form.
Speaker 1: Now you can.
Speaker 2: But based on what they said, they're like you're gonna
Speaker 2: have like they're basically saying like you need a new
Speaker 2: angle here because so yeah, I think they're feeling emboldened.
Speaker 2: But again, just like we've seen with these other these
Speaker 2: other policy moves to try and like restrict body autonomy
Speaker 2: and healthcare access, it is wildly unpopular and it's only
Speaker 2: gonna less to lead to more messy and chaotic shit.
Speaker 2: But this is their marching orders are coming from on high,
Speaker 2: so I guess this is where they're going.
Speaker 3: This is one of those things that are like a
Speaker 3: no fault divorce is one of those things that like
Speaker 3: its name doesn't show how how important or how scary
Speaker 3: the alternative's named things, you know, where it should be
Speaker 3: like oh, like like the Divorce Equality Act or something
Speaker 3: would be.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, you know, because no marriage it's like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: well was it wasn't my.
Speaker 3: Fault, you know, like it's just so like takes the
Speaker 3: venom out of like you said, these horrific, abusive cases
Speaker 3: where women couldn't get divorces before.
Speaker 1: Yells a shame too. We were talking yesterday's episode about
Speaker 1: the Alito Like the tape of Alito's wife where she's
Speaker 1: she is talking like fantasizing about putting up a flag
Speaker 1: that just says shame to like, yeah, to get into
Speaker 1: a flag war with people who have a pride flag.
Speaker 1: She's just like, yeah, shame, we got a flag that's
Speaker 1: a shame and it has flames.
Speaker 2: Let me spell it for you. V E R G
Speaker 2: O G n A. They're gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like to make up little flags in my head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Doctor Strange like that. Upon rewatching Doctor Strangeler
Speaker 1: recently very cultured, I was reading a New York article, well,
Speaker 1: rewatching Doctor Strange's love.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The the reason like they ultimately decide to end the
Speaker 1: world is because they like seize on the idea of like,
Speaker 1: well we could have like a little cave where like
Speaker 1: the men just repopulate the globe and like that. They're
Speaker 1: like that gets them going, and then they decide to
Speaker 1: ultimately end it and like that feels like what with this, Like, no,
Speaker 1: you can't you can't use science to have a baby.
Speaker 1: You gotta have a baby with sperm from from me
Speaker 1: probably preferably.
Speaker 3: Why was Keith Ranieri convicted? That's the wife.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to create a sex cult.
Speaker 2: Why won't. They're all conservative about it, feels like, you know, well,
Speaker 2: and it's all to basically be like there is only
Speaker 2: one way that's heterosexual marriage, that creates people, and there's
Speaker 2: nothing else. So yeah, I mean, yeah, this is what
Speaker 2: they're spending all their time on because the policy is
Speaker 2: not even like the no real policy there only look
Speaker 2: looking for the dissolution of rights. This pretty much the
Speaker 2: only thing they're running on these days. I guess if
Speaker 2: maybe increased rights for billionaires or tax dodging corporations, I
Speaker 2: think those are the two groups. Yeah, they're focusing on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and having like billionaire wealth that makes that create
Speaker 1: and like libertarianism that creates the conditions where you can
Speaker 1: have a cave where you're trying to repopulate, you know,
Speaker 1: a nice cave, Yeah, a nice cave.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Dusty Deepers, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Hand or back. I just didn't include that.
Speaker 3: You just remembering that? No, I just read it again.
Speaker 3: I just I just read Dusty, I saw it in print.
Speaker 3: What's the problem Where I heard you say Dusty divers
Speaker 3: and that I read it in the show run Yeah.
Speaker 1: It stopped me dead in my tracks. As I was
Speaker 1: going through the show run down, I was I couldn't stop.
Speaker 1: I get Yeah, I just sat there looking at it
Speaker 1: with my mouth.
Speaker 2: Having a fucking sex bomb. Dude, Dusty Deavers is yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, you said, Joel Edgerton. Dusty Devers is my Dusty,
Speaker 2: Dusty Dusty, take away all of my rights please, a
Speaker 2: big professor.
Speaker 1: Wait what yeh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know, just saying what do you want?
Speaker 2: You want? Uh?
Speaker 1: North Dakota just became the first state to approve an
Speaker 1: age limit for politicians. Age limit for politicians seeming to
Speaker 1: be an idea that is having a moment for for
Speaker 1: some reason. We don't we don't know why. We don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you mean. Like it's been fine
Speaker 2: for Supreme Court justices, senators. Yeah, remember now suppressions as
Speaker 2: old as possible older older aap as.
Speaker 1: Old as pot No, that's not that's not how words
Speaker 1: work anyway, aoap aoap rocky. Uh So. North Dakota voters
Speaker 1: just approved a ballot measure barring congressional candidates who would
Speaker 1: turn eighty one by the end of the year. Before
Speaker 1: their term would expire.
Speaker 6: Wait a fucking the trap door down on eighty one
Speaker 6: is so fucking old and yet and yet it would
Speaker 6: uh disqualify I.
Speaker 2: Think both of our current presidential candidates. Trump's seventy seven,
Speaker 2: so no he has time year, Biden's eighty one, Biden's
Speaker 2: eighty one.
Speaker 1: But Trump, this would be the year at the end
Speaker 1: of the year before their term.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Trump would be like right making it maybe right under
Speaker 1: the wire or might be disqualified. It was supported by
Speaker 1: sixty one percent of the voters. It won't affect any
Speaker 1: of the state's current congressional delegation because they're all under
Speaker 1: the age of seventy. But the move is historic. This
Speaker 1: is going to be the first state to set an
Speaker 1: age limit for US Senate and House candidates. It will
Speaker 1: likely face a Supreme Court legal challenge. A similar amendment
Speaker 1: was shot down in nineteen ninety five because the Court
Speaker 1: ruled that states cannot set qualifications for Congress beyond those
Speaker 1: listed in the US Constitution. You could probably hear that
Speaker 1: I was making the jerkoff handmotion while reading that confirmed
Speaker 1: but lawmakers have already earmarked one million dollars in state
Speaker 1: funds to defend the measure in court. So they were like,
Speaker 1: we're passing this law because we know it's going to
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and we want to fight for our
Speaker 1: ability to do this. So they have one million dollars
Speaker 1: in legal funds basically to you know, construct an argument
Speaker 1: and you know, learn from what didn't work in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety four the one thing that did work in nine
Speaker 1: before when when it went to the Supreme Court last time,
Speaker 1: the person who I guess it was ninety five person
Speaker 1: who wrote the dissenting opinion and who was in favor
Speaker 1: of the age restrictions was Clarence Thomas. Well, we'll see
Speaker 1: if you know, being incredibly old as fuck, will have
Speaker 1: changed his opinion on this. But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's seventy five, man, He's a spry seventy five,
Speaker 2: so he gets agile. He's like, I'm good, man, I'm
Speaker 2: good as long as I have my little r V
Speaker 2: I can play around with and whatever.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I wish he wrote an RV like
Speaker 5: off Roaded, like John Madden. Yeah, yeah, oh, I was
Speaker 5: thinking of to Fly.
Speaker 1: I was thinking of a TV.
Speaker 2: Just like like he would be five feet.
Speaker 1: And it would just roll over on him and break
Speaker 1: everybody in his body.
Speaker 2: His robe gets caught in one of the ship Claire,
Speaker 2: I told you not to wear your robe. I like it.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me my business, devil woman. But this could
Speaker 1: be read as just a symbolic gesture. Coming so soon
Speaker 1: after Mitch McConnell's brain shut down on live TV and
Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein died in office at the age of ninety,
Speaker 1: that was one of those things that, like, when it
Speaker 1: was happening, I don't think my brain had fully appreciated
Speaker 1: that she was ninety.
Speaker 2: I think because regardless of the numerical age, just visually
Speaker 2: it was so clear that this human body should be
Speaker 2: just be at rest at home, like not trying to
Speaker 2: like hear, like be it a fucking judicial confirmation hearing
Speaker 2: and asking pointed questions.
Speaker 1: It's just a good thing that she didn't get through
Speaker 1: that provision in her will that she'd be weekended at
Speaker 1: Bernie's for the remainder of her term, because that would
Speaker 1: have been distasteful.
Speaker 2: I think, well, that's where the abuse of a corpse
Speaker 2: laws ended up sort of overriding.
Speaker 1: Her own will and saving us from anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, what difference, would it really need is actually happening
Speaker 3: right when she was it's oh god, yeah.
Speaker 1: We're hoping that this inspires other states to follow suit,
Speaker 1: which wouldn't be surprising considering the idea of imposing maximum
Speaker 1: age limits for elected officials is supported by seventy nine
Speaker 1: percent of Americans.
Speaker 2: That's how you know it'll never happen.
Speaker 1: Seventy nine percent. Yep, that's just like a fucking slam dunk.
Speaker 1: Like any politician, like in a just system, would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this my thing, Like this is going
Speaker 1: to be I'm gonna just like ride this to office.
Speaker 1: And then you get to office and you just have
Speaker 1: like a bunch of elderly people who want to kill
Speaker 1: you and destroy your career because you're coming for them.
Speaker 1: But you know, there is the issue that you know
Speaker 1: people are gonna be like age discrimination. Age discriminate in
Speaker 1: the workplace is obviously not okay, but there are age
Speaker 1: restrictions on other First of all, on the other end
Speaker 1: of the spectrum when it comes to like elected officials,
Speaker 1: you know, you can't be under thirty five and be president,
Speaker 1: or under twenty five and be in the House, or
Speaker 1: thirty in the Senate. And there's also age maximums in flying,
Speaker 1: like in aviation. In the aviation industry, airline pilots, commercial
Speaker 1: pilots aren't allowed to work past the age of sixty five.
Speaker 1: But that's, of course, because that's a very taxing, exhausting
Speaker 1: job that requires intense concentration in people's lives hang in
Speaker 1: the balance. So nothing like being president.
Speaker 3: No, no, yeah, the presidents are on the ground, famously
Speaker 3: on the ground, except for when they're in a plane.
Speaker 1: Do you think they what if they just like, let
Speaker 1: Joe Biden fly or force one, because you know, he
Speaker 1: proviosly asks for it, who's to say he hasn't.
Speaker 2: They probably just set up like a video game joystick
Speaker 2: from the nineties and just be like, yeah, sir, you
Speaker 2: can do it right here from your recliner. Man, here
Speaker 2: you go. Don't get too whacky now, a lot of
Speaker 2: people on board, all right, captain, thank you.
Speaker 1: In twenty fifteen, France considered instituting a law that would
Speaker 1: banned politicians over seventy from holding office.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you know, the the real argument
Speaker 2: here is about the weight of the decisions these people
Speaker 2: make that they potentially don't have to live with like
Speaker 2: the fallout from these decisions, like especially when as it
Speaker 2: relates to the climate and shit like that, when you
Speaker 2: have people who already got fucking fucking both legs in
Speaker 2: the grave. Yeah, like are just being like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: I don't fucking doing anything to take care of with legs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: of like Earth death, it's like yeah, because you're you're
Speaker 2: fucking maybe gonna live ten more years or some shit.
Speaker 1: Well they're always cold anyway, so you know they're they're
Speaker 1: fuck they're cold as hell the blanket that comes with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, in order to be able to be
Speaker 3: traded from one sports team to to another sports you
Speaker 3: need to pass a physical. It's always like, oh they've
Speaker 3: been traded pending a physical. There has to be some way,
Speaker 3: some physical a fucking president has to pass. And I
Speaker 3: know it's not as easy as like measuring you know,
Speaker 3: a meniscus or something, but just mentally, there has to
Speaker 3: be some sort of exercise that you can do that's
Speaker 3: indicative of decision making ability.
Speaker 2: And yeah, like yeah, invented maybe ninety five percent over
Speaker 2: the president, not van Buren.
Speaker 1: They not van Buren. They do have physicals that they're
Speaker 1: supposed to undergo or like make their medical health records public.
Speaker 1: But that does so.
Speaker 2: Easy to but it doesn't bar them from holding office, right,
Speaker 2: they're just taken account. Yeah yeah, but look at look
Speaker 2: at where we're at. We have again a fucking a
Speaker 2: mummy from World War One. Yeah, up against this fucking
Speaker 2: other guy. You can decide who's whos and like it
Speaker 2: and a felon. It's like, yeah, these are all kinds
Speaker 2: of things people should consider, but it doesn't matter. But God,
Speaker 2: I wish that that this should be a standardized thing
Speaker 2: because especially as it relates to the Supreme Court in
Speaker 2: all these other positions, because we're allowing, yeah, we're allowing
Speaker 2: this like kleptocracy to just flourish under the leadership of
Speaker 2: these people who really they have no vested interest in
Speaker 2: anything sustainable. And again we're gonna be left holding the
Speaker 2: fucking mad Max bag in like thirty years or I
Speaker 2: don't know however long if it gets to that, I
Speaker 2: don't know, in the most cynical version, but we're already
Speaker 2: seeing temper like, look, the shit's changing, it's happening right
Speaker 2: in front of our faces. And so it's a bicker
Speaker 2: about like eighty one.
Speaker 1: No, by the way, this isn't just a problem in
Speaker 1: the US. So a decade ago, one of the world's
Speaker 1: ten most populous countries had a leader seventy year older.
Speaker 1: Today they're eight. So eight of the ten most populous
Speaker 1: countries have leaders that are seventy or older. Like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck happened that ten years? Is it just they
Speaker 1: just made it easier to like cheat, to hold on
Speaker 1: to power.
Speaker 2: I think that or just the idea of working.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. We all decided when we would prefer yeah,
Speaker 1: avocado toast over having power.
Speaker 2: We quite quit world global leadership.
Speaker 3: Yeah we worked from home, and then we stopped working
Speaker 3: from anywhere. It turned into residenteeism exactly. But I think
Speaker 3: really it's just about the people who are still mentally
Speaker 3: gone enough to think that these fucked up policies we
Speaker 3: all live under are still good or worth younger.
Speaker 1: The sense that they would be the ones who are
Speaker 1: able to consolidate power.
Speaker 2: Younger people, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 1: Gonna be like, man, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 2: I mean, not everybody, but a lot of younger people
Speaker 2: like this is fucking bullshit, And they all and all
Speaker 2: get and and the problem is that people who have
Speaker 2: the voting power or the people who are even like
Speaker 2: processing this world are still taking it through this very
Speaker 2: dated lens about how these economic system should work. So yeah, like,
Speaker 2: I mean it makes sense that, like it's their swan song,
Speaker 2: because as it gets younger and younger, were less committed
Speaker 2: to upholding these fucked up systems. Yeah, but again, I
Speaker 2: think because of the nature of like white supremacy and capitalism,
Speaker 2: they'll always find a way to maintain you know, it's
Speaker 2: like a living organism. It will find a way to
Speaker 2: defend itself. And I think right now that's being expressed
Speaker 2: through you know, keeping these really old fucking zombie people
Speaker 2: in office and making calling all the shots.
Speaker 1: Yeah, capitalism's immune system is fighting back. So there are
Speaker 1: like globally the legislatures have like houses of Representatives and
Speaker 1: plays like that. Parliaments is the word that I was
Speaker 1: looking for. I have actually gotten slightly younger. Reportedly, thirty
Speaker 1: percent of the world MPs are under the age of
Speaker 1: forty five, according to a twenty twenty one report. But
Speaker 1: that is because explicitly of age caps and like legislation
Speaker 1: like this, So stuff like this can.
Speaker 2: Work, and people in those countries seem to be happier. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's just like your opinion. Man, I want.
Speaker 2: My grandpa who I want my grandpa who's bleeding from
Speaker 2: the eyes to still run things, you know, like Mitch McConnell,
Speaker 2: who looked like he would like again that shit that
Speaker 2: you want to see what a farragun hard reset looks
Speaker 2: like a successful one. It's Mitch McConnell when he's up
Speaker 2: there just being like.
Speaker 3: To your point, there is an eye test to it too,
Speaker 3: where it's like that I don't know how old that
Speaker 3: person is. I don't know if they look bad for
Speaker 3: sixty or if they look correct for ninety. That person
Speaker 3: cannot if you have to hold the door, like if
Speaker 3: you're like worried, I first, you can make it through
Speaker 3: a door, ever, unless someone holds it for it's.
Speaker 1: You need to hold our president's elbow, like obviously they're
Speaker 1: not gonna let it happen when like in front of cameras.
Speaker 1: But if I were walking up the steps with him,
Speaker 1: I feel like I would want to hold his elbow.
Speaker 3: You would be an asshole. If you didn't, you would
Speaker 3: be a bad person if you.
Speaker 1: Like my wife would look at my wife would look at.
Speaker 2: Me and be like, oh, man, like don't let him
Speaker 2: carry that briefcase. What do you do heavy? He's trying
Speaker 2: to put in the overhead bin. Are you just because
Speaker 2: you hated your grandfather? Doesn't whoa babe? The way into this?
Speaker 2: Not right now?
Speaker 1: No, not whatever? The Oval Office, Oh Ship. Blake Waxler
