00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: on tomorrow's full episode.

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 5: My name is Jack O'Brien.

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: That over there is Miles Gray Gray and these are

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: some of the stories that are trending right now. We

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: just found out about a new business opportunity that we

23
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: just got to get you guys in on.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a basketball version of.

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: Top Golf some coming Yeah yeah, called jump Shot Live.

26
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: And I it I'm just having so much trouble understand.

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 4: I like, just still people understand this is how they

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: describe it. From their own press release, it says the

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 4: concept of a technologically superior basketball experience coupled with a

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: chef driven dining and craft cocktails is one of the

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 4: with a massive potential audience, both in the United States

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: and abroad. They go on to say, twenty eight million

33
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: Americans age six and up play basketball. Okay, so can

34
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: the six and up partake in your craft cocktails too,

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: or that's just a different offering. Then they say their

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 4: locations are designed to span fifty thousand square feet, though

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: some venues made very in size with fifty game bays each,

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 4: and it will accommodate up to six people and it'll

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 4: be all kinds of shit with led screens. The backboards

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: move so you can shoot anywhere on the court. Uh,

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 4: and there's like a bunch of athletes involved. I think,

42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 4: as people have pointed out, specifically Dragonfly Jones, because it

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: was his tweet that Evn't saw this like weird mock

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: up of a video, was that basketball is not a

45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: fun sport in terms of like you can go casually

46
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: been like, hey man, let's just go have some drinks

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 4: and some fucking, you know, cheese curds down at jump

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 4: shot live right, that'll that'll be fine. Every time I've

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: been around my friends near a basketball hoop, it turns

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 4: into some hyper competitive shit, like it just does, even if.

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 5: You're just playing too much riding on that ship.

52
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's And where there's golf, as Dragonflies pointing out,

53
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: is like it's it's a humbling sport, like sure, some

54
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: people are good, but most people go being like, look,

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: we're all fucking trash. Maybe we can we'll have fun

56
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 4: swinging a club around and not know what the fuck

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: is going on.

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, And also like the drinking and snacking is built

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: into golfing, like that's a big part of golfing. Is

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: like when you're playing golf, you're often drinking, and there's

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: like a hot dog cart. There's not a hot dog

62
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: cart on like basketball courts for people to grab a

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: couple of hot dogs and a beer while they're playing. Yeah,

64
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: maybe there should be, but that's just not the way

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: the sport evolved.

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: I also just think too, like Americans, a lot of

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: people probably have some form of like old school ground

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: playground stress from being a kid having to play basketball

69
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: and not being good and just being stressed out like

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: at pee.

71
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: Like a fuck rapping to play basketball, and.

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I fucking have to, man.

73
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: I mean, like one of the most stressful experiences for

74
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: me as a as a youth was fucking trying out

75
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: for basketball my freshman year of high school.

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: And like, I don't know about this. I don't know

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: about this.

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's being brought to you by the

79
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: people who do Top Golf, which.

80
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: Tangentially I think there's people like as I read more,

81
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: the COO is the guy who had been developing real

82
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: estate for places like Top Golf. So it's people that

83
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: definitely understand the sports entertainment, whatever.

84
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: The upscale dining sports play. And I will say I

85
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: have gone to Top Golf with my kids and my nephew,

86
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: and there is certainly an audience of people. There's certainly

87
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: a consumer base for people hanging out with their kids

88
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: while enjoying craft cocktails that seems to be there and

89
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: ursioning hell even at eleven in the morning. I will

90
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: say that the logical thing, like if this were designed

91
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: to actually be a thing that they wanted to succeed,

92
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: is like you would just add five gaming stations aka

93
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: basketball who places like little Basketball Hooperias gaming base to

94
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: gaming base to a top golf and see if anybody

95
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: like gave a shit enough to try it. But because

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: of the economy and the world that we live in,

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: that's not what they're not actually like trying to It

98
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: would be my guess, Like it feels like like in

99
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: the same way as like Crypto and NFTs and like

100
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: all that shit. The thing that they're trying to do

101
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: is like the whole like big launch, and like the

102
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: hype around the launch is the product, you know, Like

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: the deck is the product they like they're in the

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: deck that like they've put out for this, which is

105
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: just like you know, a slideshow they have like a

106
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: computer generated like drone fly through of the big dining

107
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: room area, and it's just yeah, it's like trying to

108
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: get as many investors on board before they realize it's

109
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: a bad idea.

110
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 5: So you don't do you don't do the.

111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Thing that would actually tell you it was a bad

112
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: idea first, because that would just be too too much

113
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: useful information.

114
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 4: And the point is this does feel like the perfect

115
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: business idea for right before a potential huge recession.

116
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it feels like that is what we are.

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: Shit, dude, I went all in on that fucking jump

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 4: shot place in twenty twenty four.

119
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: Man.

120
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck, but yeah, we'll see, we'll see, yeh.

121
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 5: I know for me, you made the really good point.

122
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you made the really good point that you can

123
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: You can't hit a golf ball in your neighborhood unless.

124
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: You live in like one of these huge you know,

125
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: places where they have huge tracts of land.

126
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: Most urban dwellers.

127
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Know you can walk one hundred feet in most directions

128
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: and find a driveway or you know, a little bit

129
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: longer and find.

130
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: A park with a basketball hoop.

131
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: But that park, in that basketball hoop will not be

132
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: next to fogged glass with jump shot live written on it.

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: And that's the real opportunity that we're presenting people with here.

134
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

135
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: Anyways, other big news too for people to get excited

136
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: and then disappointed about the James Bond. Producers Barbara Brockley

137
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: and Michael G. Wilson have said that they're going to

138
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: cast a new James Bond and whiteness is not a given.

139
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, he'll be.

140
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: A man, likely in his thirties, and drum roll, please,

141
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: whiteness is not a given.

142

Speaker 4: What a fucking phrase? Yeah uh And whiteness is not

143
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: a given.

144
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: Although we may, we may. It may be a preference,

145
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: it may be a preference.

146

148
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: wants to even touch this role anymore.

149
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 4: Uh but I mean because there was we had so

150
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,960

Speaker 4: white guy or man, and then you know, you have.

152
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: All these people like James Bond could only be a

153
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: white guy.

154
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Andris Elba said the response when his name

00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: putting as a result.

157
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so maybe just like I mean again, I

00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: I just want to say, you can always come up

162
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: with a new thing.

163
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 5: What about that guy Jim from the office.

164
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: My fucking god, dude, you.

165
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no no. Is he too.

166
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 5: Sexy for it?

167
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

168
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: Find out on tomorrow's episode. Oh no, it's it too sexy.

169
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: The Antonio banderas, how do you say?

170
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: Show?

171
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: All right, let's take a quick break we'll come back,

172
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: and we're back.

173
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: We're back.

174
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: And there's been a surge in research into the South

175
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: Korean movement, the four B movement. In the hours after

176
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: the election, there was like a bunch of people searching.

177
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: Now it's becoming a more formalized thing. This is an

178
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: informal South Korean feminist movement that basically agrees among women

179
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: to not have sex, not have children, not marry men.

180
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: In response to the steady spread and you know, overpowering

181
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: growth of power of misogyny and popular and political culture.

182
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: It started in South Korea in the twenty tens, gained

183
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: a lot of strength after a horrifying crime in which

184
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: an inceul murdered a twenty three old woman in a

185
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: public bathroom in the Gangnam district of Soul, And in

186
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two they had their own kind of Trump

187
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: like figure sweep to power on the back of a

188
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: young male swing vote. And so it's growing there. It's

189
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: not like a super well defined movement, like a one

190
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: of the people who's kind of heavily involved calls it

191
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: more of an individualized resistance rather than like a highly

192
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: organized movement. But I understand why it's getting a lot

193
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: of attention from people at this moment. And also I

194
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: feel like the conservative media ecosystem is going to fucking

195
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: eat this shit up.

196
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

197
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, it's inspired some pretty heinous responses, I'd say, yeah,

198
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 4: And like there was an article in Rolling Stone where

199
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: they were talking to some South Korean women who were

200
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 4: just like asking, like they're like.

201
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: Oh, what do you think, like what to see it's spread?

202
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: And they're like, up, they're heartened to see that, you know,

203
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: like the people are sort of understanding, you know, what

204
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: kind of power they can wield.

205
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 3: One said quote.

206
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: I also share the sentiment, and I'm very glad that

207
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: so many women are deciding to embark on a journey

208
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: that will lead them to freedom that they could not

209
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: have imagined. And you know they're saying like it's not

210
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: they'ren't saying it's not merely just like sort of a

211
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 4: complete saying like men are banned forever, but to truly

212
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: look inward to what your values are and understanding how

213
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: you want that reflected back to a partner. But yeah,

214
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: for like the right wing crowd, they're just the response

215
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 4: is just from like like you know, you can already

216
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: you can already imagine how right wing men are responding

217
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 4: to people saying that like they will exercise agency over

218
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: their bodies.

219
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

220
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: So speaking of Trump, his cabinet appointments seem to be

221
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: pulling from just like his friends, just like a group

222
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: of people who have been in headlines with him in

223
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: the past two months, you know, like it's like Matt

224
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Gates as Attorney General, Christy Nome for the Department of

225
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: Homeland Security of Fox News host as is it, Secretary

226
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: of Defense.

227
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

228
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense, the guy who

229
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 4: we've talked about before who's like, I don't wash my hands,

230
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: Like yeah, like why why don't have to? It doesn't

231
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: even matter. Uh, He's I mean, historically the most fucking

232
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: uni unqualified person for that, Like people even like Republican centers,

233
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 4: like what the fuck, dude, Like the entire war machine apparatus.

234
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 4: But again, when you couple that with things like they're

235
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: trying to create a way to purge generals to sort

236
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: of you know, control the military just full stop in

237
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: line with their own ideology, this makes sense because most

238
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: of these appointments, you're like, what the fuck, Like Tulsi

239
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 4: Gabbard as like DNI. These are all people who have

240
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: been so loyal to Donald Trump. They are being repaid

241
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 4: with these positions, but I don't think for a second

242
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: that they're being actually picked because he's like the best

243
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: secretary of Defense is Pete Hegseth. It's that I need

244
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: husks of people in these positions that seem like they

245
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 4: have the agency and decision making power of a cabinet position,

246
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: but really they're completely willing to just be to say,

247
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: like I have this title, yeah, yeah, whatever Trump wants.

248
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 4: That's really what's happening because yeah, I mean like.

249
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: It's not even the pretense of like competence or meritocracy now,

250
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: because like the first administration in the bar was like

251
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: you can't have said something bad about me, right, and

252
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: now it's you have to have said such unaccountably like

253
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: good things about me out of line with reality that

254
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: it made headlines like that. That seems to be where

255
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: we're at, which is like, you know, a smaller and

256
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: smaller group.

257
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, truly a degree, right, so you can be

258
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 5: I feel.

259
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: Like yeah, but it was mostly like I was doing

260
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 4: like car accidents and stuff like.

261
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll do it I'll do it.

262
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: I'll do it.

263
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 4: I mean, I have my own cases that I'm trying

264
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 4: to avoid, So yeah, it would be great if I

265
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: could run the Department of Justice. And I mean, like

266
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 4: you know, you you hear it at every level, people

267
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: at these departments who are completely like I, we have

268
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 4: no idea what kind of like retribution we're going to face,

269
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 4: how how fucking intense.

270
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: These purges are going to be. But a lot of

271
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 3: people are saying like, it looks like there's yeah, a

272
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of loyalists being put in and

273
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: you see people be.

274
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: Like, well, at least they're like an idiot, So like

275
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: I'd rather have an idiot in there than like some

276
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: like true like you.

277
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: Know, mega brained, evil person.

278
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: But again, I think I think the point here is

279
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: just to have these people there because they're not like

280
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: they have their own ideas of what they want to

281
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: do with these and they can't just put like you know,

282
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: the people from the Heritage Foundation in these positions. They're

283
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: just going to be like, yeah, you'll do that, and

284
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: then we'll just tell you what to do.

285
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, just fucking frightening.

286
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: And then of course we have RFK Junior with all

287
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: the has he officially been named to anything yet, no,

288
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: no one thing. He might not have gotten the memo

289
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: of like how these positions are like who's getting hired?

290
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,239
Speaker 1: Because he re recently said that the food he's observed

291
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump eating is quote just poison.

292
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

293
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: And he said that the KFC and Big Max were

294
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: the healthiest things Trump.

295
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 5: Eat, which I was picking.

296
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: He was saying that just poison. I was like, Oh,

297
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: he must have seen him eating McDonald's and KFC. He

298
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: was like, that's the good part. The rest of the

299
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: stuff I consider kind of inedible, because he was, yeah,

300
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: what is he eating?

301
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 4: He said, it's just like really really bad because he

302
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 4: said he's quote never seen Trump drink a glass of water.

303
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

304
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: Dana White told him he's never seen Trump drink a

305
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: glass of water, which.

306
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh. I was like, yeah, uh y'all.

307
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: Also, if that's the healthiest, then what is he eating?

308
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 3: Just like lard? Yeah, I can't out of a like

309
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: Crisco by the handful.

310
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: For most people, those are the like lower, those are

311
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: the like, ah, you know, cheat day. The worst thing

312
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat on my cheat day is KFC is

313
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: Big Max. I didn't know like KFC r FKFC.

314
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: There you go.

315
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know it got worse than that. But so, like,

316
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: is he eating like kitchen sponges? Like when he's like inedible,

317
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: Like what specifically does he mean? Ye, kind of curious.

318
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 4: It's probably like like pasteurized milk or something. It's like,

319
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: oh my god, yeah, you're not drinking raw milk.

320
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's just RFK because of RFK is like

321
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: weird belief. Yeah, He's like, well, it's good he hasn't

322
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: drank water because then he'd have the mind control fluoride

323
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: in his brain. Right, that's actually the reason he's able

324
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: to lead us out of this mental prison.

325
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just curious what he hasn't.

326
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. Who knows.

327
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: By the time this episode comes out, he could fully

328
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: be in charge of whatever organization and it's fully the

329
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 4: nightmare come true. I mean, either way, he's the things

330
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 4: he's saying he's going to do to whatever office he's

331
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 4: appointed to are disturbing, Like whether it's the NIH and

332
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 4: he's like I'll get rid of all the scientists or

333
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 4: like that, you know, whatever it is. He's like, no, no, no,

334
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 4: it's just whatever my vibes are is what I'm.

335
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: Going to have to unleash on the country. Yeah, but

336
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: who knows.

337
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: I mean, Trump also has a knack for completely, you know,

338
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: betraying people that helped him, So I don't know, maybe

339
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 4: he'd maybe he didn't, Maybe he doesn't like this new

340
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: article that came out, and maybe he.

341
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: Stopped talking shit. Bro, it's really going to be like that.

342
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: There's lots of ancient literature about and like plays and

343
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: stuff about like the dynamics of like people in royal

344
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: courts like backstabbing each other and because at a time

345
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: when it's a monarchy, the only thing that matters is

346
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: like getting the favor of the one person, and that

347
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: shit all sounds boring and can be really really boring.

348
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I feel like it's gonna be chaos

349
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 4: either like whether these people do just make their own

350
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: fucking terrible decisions or you can also just see too,

351
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 4: you know, like in any job, when you see someone

352
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: you get passed up for a promotion and.

353
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: You're like that, yeah, yeah for real.

354
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: That then then that starts.

355
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: You get now you get the weird palace intrigue kind

356
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: of shit, and the people start factioning off and tear

357
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 4: each other down.

358
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't.

359
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 4: It's every pick has been absolutely mind blowing merely because

360
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 4: I had to like adjust what I thought was absolute

361
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 4: bottom of the barrel.

362
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, as we do with our with fast food, so

363
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: we have to do with just the people running the

364
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: most powerful military and economy in the world. We have

365
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: to readjust our idea of how bad it can be.

366
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, look, this all be part of

367
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 4: a process where we're gonna have.

368
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 3: To figure out how we push back on it all

369
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 3: because it's I mean, it's.

370
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 4: The experiment has begun and I and I get all

371
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: the gallows humor, and it's just kind of hard to

372
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: sort of like see it all but then also be like,

373
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 4: but no, that that joke could be our reality, and

374
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 4: that's what's really disorienting about this.

375
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, that's gonna do it for us this afternoon.

376
