Speaker 1: Yeah, oh boy, that was a rough about that that

Speaker 3: I was very painful. I was surprised. I was looking
Speaker 3: at them like the Clippers Kawhi and James Harden what
Speaker 3: I mean? I know this on paper was supposed to work.
Speaker 2: But m but my clip. My La Clipper friends who
Speaker 2: are fans, they're just like nihilists and they're like, wait,
Speaker 2: something bad's gonna happen. Oh yeah, I'm like, can you
Speaker 2: just take a moment to enjoy the like, no, no,
Speaker 2: something terrible is about to happen. And it sounds like
Speaker 2: Donald Trump for some reason too.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Kawhi's knees are gonna turn. Yeah truly, I
Speaker 3: mean yeah, I mean, as an unwell Laker fan, I'm also.
Speaker 1: The same on my phone. All right, yeah, I'm glad.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you had your little fun because he's about
Speaker 1: to get ugly.
Speaker 2: Baby. But hey, look we got our own.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna play the Timberwolf.
Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see. How Actually to ask you
Speaker 2: a question, because all my Lakers, you know, we're on
Speaker 2: WhatsApp a chat, and all my college friends they talked
Speaker 2: Matt Ship whenever it's Lakers Warriors. They were dead quiet
Speaker 2: yesterday because I think everyone Warriors fans, the Lakers fans
Speaker 2: were like, we don't have to face each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah hell yeah, of course we don't want We all knew.
Speaker 2: It was like a hidden dude code we all knew.
Speaker 3: Don't need that, don't need to start. And that's also
Speaker 3: the rivalry everyone else was praying for, like let one
Speaker 3: of these teams just knock each other out and help
Speaker 3: it make it a little bit easier in the postseason.
Speaker 3: But we're having none of that. Anyway, We're gonna get
Speaker 3: to know you a little bit better. Let's also give
Speaker 3: a preview about what we're talking about very quickly. Up top,
Speaker 3: I just want to just hit two stories before we
Speaker 3: get into the breakdown, because there's so much going on
Speaker 3: and I just.
Speaker 1: We have to touch on them again. But we also
Speaker 1: have some fun times too. I know it's difficult times,
Speaker 1: but we do need to stay aware of everything that
Speaker 1: is happening. So up top.
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, Governor Josh Shapiro's home was set on fire.
Speaker 3: A lot of people said home was set on fire.
Speaker 3: A man broke into the Pennsylvania governor's mansion and set
Speaker 3: a fire in there while the governor, his family, and
Speaker 3: another family were sleeping. They escaped unharmed. The man later
Speaker 3: turned himself in and said that he would have attacked
Speaker 3: Shapiro with a hand if he had the chance.
Speaker 2: He yikes.
Speaker 3: Not sure why the word assassination attempt isn't being used
Speaker 3: to describe this a little bit more. I mean, like
Speaker 3: what you're just doing some flame based reorganizing in the halls.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if you saw the pictures, but
Speaker 1: like set on fire doesn't do a justice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It's someone trying to burn it down with them inside it.
Speaker 1: And if that's with the intent, I mean, he's being
Speaker 1: charged with attempted murder murder. Oddly enough, the Attorney General,
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi, who seems to use the word anti Semitism
Speaker 1: a lot when disappearing innocent students and academics for expressing
Speaker 1: pro Palestinian views, had very little to say about this
Speaker 1: attack that happened as passover began. So as of this recording,
Speaker 1: still haven't heard anything from the president but surprise, surprise,
Speaker 1: and he sees Shapiro as a potential probably political rival
Speaker 1: and then your future and also the president of l
Speaker 1: Salvador Naibukele, visited the White House on Monday.
Speaker 3: He said that he would not be returning Kilmar Armando
Speaker 3: or bragol Garcia to the US and said it would
Speaker 3: be like quote smuggling a terrorist back into the US.
Speaker 2: It's preposterous.
Speaker 3: He said, there's no evidence that this man is in
Speaker 3: a doing any kind of criminal gang anything. In the
Speaker 3: administration itself admitted that he was arrantly sent to El Salvador.
Speaker 3: So the logic is all over the place. We talked
Speaker 3: about this on yesterday's Strending episode. I don't know if
Speaker 3: this is because they don't know where he is, or again,
Speaker 3: they're really digging in because they want to set the
Speaker 3: president that they can do this and they will not
Speaker 3: listen to the courts.
Speaker 2: Either way, very fucked up.
Speaker 3: And Trump followed up that answer from President Bukeali by
Speaker 3: saying he would all like to see more prisons in
Speaker 3: El Salvador open up so they can maybe take American
Speaker 3: citizens as well.
Speaker 1: So keep your eyes and ears on that. Any thoughts
Speaker 1: on that before we break down the rest of the show.
Speaker 1: I just want to I feel like I see a
Speaker 1: lot of heads on it. I just want to give
Speaker 1: anybody the chance to comment on that before we get
Speaker 1: into it.
Speaker 2: It's like the Purge, but only if you wear a
Speaker 2: MAGA hat and support Donald Trump, you get out of
Speaker 2: jail free card. If you do any crime, you can
Speaker 2: you know, attack police officers with pepper spray and American
Speaker 2: flags and take a ship in the US Capitol and
Speaker 2: be part of a violent insurrection. Then you'll get pardoned.
Speaker 2: And a little piece of news that dropped two weeks
Speaker 2: ago that Donald Trump is looking to compensating these insurrectionists.
Speaker 2: But meanwhile, you know, I did this post on Sunday
Speaker 2: night when I found out about the governor's home that
Speaker 2: was it's a case of arson, who could be potential terrorism.
Speaker 2: We were still waiting to see the facts. I'm like,
Speaker 2: did Donald Trump tweet? And nope, nope, no, still not
Speaker 2: still no tweets, And and then this this techno excuse me,
Speaker 2: this bitcoin broke. Bu Kelly just straight up said, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to bring him back. And I think
Speaker 2: the reason is is not only to set a precedent,
Speaker 2: but if they if he comes back, if Garcia comes back,
Speaker 2: he has a story to tell. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all bad, and that's why, like all of
Speaker 3: the darkest outcomes seem feasible.
Speaker 1: So yeah, anyway, I mean listen without without ringing the
Speaker 1: bell that I always fucking ring is we did have
Speaker 1: four years. We uh by we, I mean not me,
Speaker 1: not people who think like me. But you know, Democrats
Speaker 1: had time to nip some of this in the bud
Speaker 1: and elected and I think largely the name of quote,
Speaker 1: decorum not to so yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, stibility, Yeah, civility, and we're now getting punched in
Speaker 3: the head with those brass knuckles. All right, So what
Speaker 3: else we're going to talk about today? We will touch
Speaker 3: on Bill Maher. Welcome to the Resistance, Bill Maher. What
Speaker 3: a fantastic antidote you gave on your terrible show. We'll
Speaker 3: also talk about Meta's anti trust trials starting this week
Speaker 3: or I don't know, sham trial. We'll see Katie Perry
Speaker 3: safely returned from space. And there's a new Pixar knockoff
Speaker 3: Jesus movie that's doing okay at the box office, but
Speaker 3: for very manufactured reasons, and we'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: But first, all right, Steam guest was Jahad Ali. We'd
Speaker 1: like to ask you, what's something from your search history
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you are, what you're into.
Speaker 2: I was born and raised in Amrica to Bay Area
Speaker 2: Sudy Bay Area Pakistani Muslim American parents who came here
Speaker 2: thanks to the Immigration Nationality Act. And even though I
Speaker 2: was born and raised in the Bay Area, and I'm
Speaker 2: a US citizen. They did not teach me English until
Speaker 2: I was well dropped off unceremoniously at preschool, and I
Speaker 2: learned English and ESL English a second language. So thank
Speaker 2: you to d I thank you to teachers. And you
Speaker 2: know how some people say you're fresh off the boat.
Speaker 2: Other people say, my parents burned the boat. My parents
Speaker 2: gave zero fs, brought the boat inside the home named
Speaker 2: me with Jahat in nineteen eighty because they couldn't care
Speaker 2: less whether or not I was bullied or blended. And
Speaker 2: then when you know, I asked him like, why don't
Speaker 2: you teach me English? And they're like, you learned so
Speaker 2: and then I graduated with an English major from UC
Speaker 2: Berkeley and I write for a living.
Speaker 3: So there you go, there you go. Did you have
Speaker 3: any nicknames like assimilator nicknames?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so this is a true story. Also when
Speaker 2: I was five or six. You know, when you're not
Speaker 2: white in this country and you're going up. Even though
Speaker 2: I grew up super brown, super proud, super Muslim, super American,
Speaker 2: you read these stories and you don't see people who
Speaker 2: look like at least in the eighties, right, we're all
Speaker 2: kind of the same age. You know, there was no
Speaker 2: one who looked like us who was the hero of
Speaker 2: the story, so you kind of unconsciously realize that the
Speaker 2: hero has to be white and quote American, even though
Speaker 2: we were American, but you see yourself as others. So
Speaker 2: I remember I was six years old. I went home
Speaker 2: to my mom and I'm like, mother, I want I'll
Speaker 2: let you keep the W in my name, but I'll
Speaker 2: give you a choice. And you know, I want an
Speaker 2: American name. And my mom is a South Asian immigrant
Speaker 2: immigrant parents only exist in blunt and very blunt. And
Speaker 2: she's like, what the hell are you talking about? And
Speaker 2: I said, you know, I need an American name that
Speaker 2: starts with W. And you think I would choose like
Speaker 2: Walter or William. And I chose Wilburt because Charlotte's Webb.
Speaker 2: And my mother is like, oh, because everyone liked the pig.
Speaker 2: Remember everyone like the pig. So I'm like maybe, and
Speaker 2: my mom's like, your name is what you have to
Speaker 2: never talk talk about this again. So there you go,
Speaker 2: stuck man. Even though I tried, I was drawn in
Speaker 2: a very brown Yeah. I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 3: I love the idea too, Like you can like I
Speaker 3: want to be Wolverine. Fuck that, call me logan, call
Speaker 3: me fuck it, you call me weapon X. Let's just
Speaker 3: start with a W.
Speaker 1: Let's do this to your parents is a very immigrant
Speaker 1: kid thing that you learned you get disabused of. How
Speaker 1: well that works real quick?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah yeah, none of that stuff works.
Speaker 2: Like I'll call I'll call the nine line and they're like,
Speaker 2: go ahead, call will kill you before they come, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yo, I remember I said.
Speaker 3: I remember saying, I will call the city because they're
Speaker 3: going to take me away from you, because like because
Speaker 3: you're bad parents. I remember hearing about like how kids
Speaker 3: could be taken by the municipalities.
Speaker 1: Like I was like eight or some shit, and my
Speaker 1: mom like she put the phone right there. She's like,
Speaker 1: go ahead, you know the number. She's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna live here anymore, right, You're not gonna
Speaker 1: see us anymore.
Speaker 2: She just let I I was like, just okay, all
Speaker 2: of us have that story because one of our white
Speaker 2: friends did it, like it works with the whites, and
Speaker 2: I think we saw them like in the TV shows,
Speaker 2: And then we tried it, and only pain, only pain
Speaker 2: and trauma was visited upon us.
Speaker 3: Uh, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Uh? Bidets? And the reason why I think bidets are underrated.
Speaker 2: I was reading some comedians talk about like having hairy
Speaker 2: butts and taking a long time. I'm like, bro, the
Speaker 2: year is twenty twenty five. Yeah, you survived COVID for
Speaker 2: nineteen bucks by a bedey wash your ass, Like that's
Speaker 2: something that if you like travel around South Asia, Southeast
Speaker 2: Age in the Middle East, like we have clean asses,
Speaker 2: Like the funny thing is and they cause barbarians. I'm like, maybe,
Speaker 2: but we have clean asses like baday, what's ournition? Yeah,
Speaker 2: like Americans, Filipinos have a bidet. Asian gotta bdet. South
Speaker 2: Asian gotta badet. Arabs got a badet. Just install a
Speaker 2: bidet clean your ass?
Speaker 3: Do you think Do you think it's like some like
Speaker 3: Americans don't want to do it because the rest of
Speaker 3: the world is like, we're fine just smearing it all
Speaker 3: around our fucking asshole.
Speaker 2: It's even worse, bro, It's even worse. The reason is,
Speaker 2: I don't know if've been falling. I'm a massachust I
Speaker 2: go deep into like the right wing ecosystem. But now
Speaker 2: apparently some young maga bros don't wash their genitals because
Speaker 2: that's gay. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's puritan homophobia, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah hh. And they wondered, like, and these women
Speaker 3: want nothing to do with us because they're woke.
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, because you smell like a corpse fool.
Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3: You and your your ideologies backwards. Yeah, shut out to
Speaker 3: the bedet. I look, I'm the second I started getting well.
Speaker 3: I knew about the bidet because I'm half Japanese, so
Speaker 3: in Japan every told you out of bed day. And
Speaker 3: then once I remember like that, like the tushies and
Speaker 3: like those kinds of adapters came out here, I was like,
Speaker 3: it's time, baby, because.
Speaker 2: Toto, Bro, Toto is a game changer.
Speaker 1: Oh gentrified, but Dave's got gentrified. Yeah, white, get into it, dude.
Speaker 1: I so uh, I just got a like a Toto
Speaker 1: toilet seat, like not the whole toilet, but the seat
Speaker 1: that has like the warm seat because I needed some
Speaker 1: after I lost my house in the fire.
Speaker 2: So it's like, just give me this.
Speaker 1: This ship has a built in fan, so no no
Speaker 1: odor comes out of the toilet like there, it's built
Speaker 1: into the seat to the point where you don't you
Speaker 1: don't need nothing.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, am I eating this good because there's
Speaker 1: nothing going on.
Speaker 2: Realize it's such a game changer that some of my
Speaker 2: friends go to other friends home to take dump just
Speaker 2: so they can when they embrace them to the day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like it cleans and it warms and it talks to you,
Speaker 2: and I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, bro, save it up, it up for the visit.
Speaker 1: It's it's the father I never had.
Speaker 2: My relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, clean, warm and communication. What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: Man? Billionaires?
Speaker 3: I hope finally why what they do?
Speaker 2: You know? It's one of those things where one positive
Speaker 2: of the healthscape that we're living in is people are
Speaker 2: finally saying something that I've been saying for a while,
Speaker 2: and even like smart either like center left liberal progressive
Speaker 2: folks were like, oh, man Elon Musk, but he's really smart.
Speaker 2: I'm like, he really isn't. This was a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago, and I feel like you're seeing there idiocy
Speaker 2: exposed in real time and what power and money does
Speaker 2: to people make some slightly sociopathic and how like they
Speaker 2: will literally destroy It's like that movie Don't Look Up
Speaker 2: where the billionaire says we're gonna mind the comments and
Speaker 2: then earth blows up. So I hope, I hope. The
Speaker 2: only one of the few positives that comes from the
Speaker 2: wholesale destruction of the human species in the global economy
Speaker 2: in the next four or eight years is maybe if
Speaker 2: we can rite, and I think we actually can. If
Speaker 2: you can rally the majority, regardless of ethnicity or politics
Speaker 2: around billionaires, some good can happen.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, I mean, it seems like we're starting to
Speaker 3: see undulations of that with the Fight Oligarchy tour my
Speaker 3: own like mother and her friends went, and like, I'm
Speaker 3: personally seeing my own life a level of engagement that
Speaker 3: I haven't seen before. I don't know if I don't
Speaker 3: know what's motivating that, but I think they just did one.
Speaker 2: In Utah too.
Speaker 1: That brought a ton of people out.
Speaker 2: So like city man YouTube, rural Wyoming, West Virginia, Like
Speaker 2: when they get that hands off, every country, excuse me,
Speaker 2: every state in the country, even like red counties. It
Speaker 2: was mostly white people too, old, older white folks. That's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm like, oh, oh, so you noticed. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like four decades in. What's the matter with
Speaker 1: Kansas it's like kind of taking rule where like you
Speaker 1: keep voting against your economic interest, Like, yeah, surely it'll
Speaker 1: start to matter, right eventually.
Speaker 2: Maybe inshallah, one day you'll realize maybe, like life without
Speaker 2: fentanyl is a better life. I don't we will see.
Speaker 3: All right, Let's take a quick break and we come back.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about speaking of the resistance Bill.
Speaker 1: Maher, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Wow. Cool.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about his nonsense right after this.
Speaker 3: And we are back. First off, fuck Bill mah. Okay,
Speaker 3: let's just know that up top between his constant is lomophobia,
Speaker 3: casual use of the N word, and just generally being
Speaker 3: like one of the most smug, dumb fucks.
Speaker 1: That always finds himself on the wrong side of any
Speaker 1: argument when it's the answer. The right side seems almost
Speaker 1: like in your face, clear, this is Bill Maher and
Speaker 1: he should not have a TV show. But alas here
Speaker 1: we are. So a few weeks ago we heard from
Speaker 1: Kid Rock of all people.
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, man, I had Bill Maher come to
Speaker 3: the White House break bread with President Trump.
Speaker 2: Man. It was a really good time.
Speaker 1: Just smoking cigars, being guys.
Speaker 3: And you know, Bill really had a good time, man,
Speaker 3: You really had a good.
Speaker 1: Time, and everyone's like, Okay, sure, dude. Whatever.
Speaker 3: We hadn't really heard Bill Maher's version of events until
Speaker 3: this weekend when he opened up opened up about it
Speaker 3: on his show, and holy shit, the gist of it
Speaker 3: was Mar was basically saying, bye closed doors. This guy
Speaker 3: is like pretty chill. I was shocked.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna play a clip of this just so
Speaker 1: you can really hear how how much of a total
Speaker 1: I guess Mar.
Speaker 3: Washing if that's even a thing you can do anymore,
Speaker 3: but just trying to wash the repute, launder the reputation
Speaker 3: of Donald Trump. But this is Bill Maher, as he describes,
Speaker 3: just a very interesting dinner with President Trump. He's really
Speaker 3: not even that bad.
Speaker 2: Rum.
Speaker 6: At one point we were walking through his amazing it
Speaker 6: is an amazing tour of the whole house, and I
Speaker 6: don't remember exactly what we were talking about, but it
Speaker 6: must have been something with the twenty twenty election, because
Speaker 6: I know he used the word lost, and I distinctly
Speaker 6: remember saying, wow, I never thought i'd hear you say that.
Speaker 6: He didn't get mad. He's much more self aware and
Speaker 6: he lets on in public. Look, I get it, it
Speaker 6: doesn't matter who he is at a private dinner with
Speaker 6: a comedian. It matters who he is on the world stage.
Speaker 6: I'm just taking as a positive this person exists, because
Speaker 6: everything I've ever not liked about him was, I swear
Speaker 6: to God, absent at least on this night with this guy.
Speaker 6: Bob could Rock told me the night before, he said,
Speaker 6: if you want to get a word in edgewise, you're
Speaker 6: gonna have to cut him off. He'll just go on.
Speaker 2: Not at all.
Speaker 6: I've had so many conversations with prominent people who were
Speaker 6: much less connected, people who don't look you in the eye,
Speaker 6: people don't really listen because they just want to get
Speaker 6: to their next thing.
Speaker 1: People whose response all right, all right, all right, all right, Bill,
Speaker 1: enough of that, enough of that.
Speaker 2: He got played like a fiddle. He got played like
Speaker 2: a fiddle one hundred.
Speaker 3: I mean part of it is like sort of like
Speaker 3: he he's just trying to be in Trump's good graces
Speaker 3: or was he really taken by this charm offensive from
Speaker 3: a serial liar?
Speaker 1: Yeah that was right?
Speaker 3: Oh, I know, Like it's part of me is like,
Speaker 3: do you I think mar probably benefits because he gets
Speaker 3: to be like, well, now I'm on, I might I
Speaker 3: might be on the protect whatever. But either way, it's
Speaker 3: so fucking nonsensical and like the again, his audience is
Speaker 3: so unique that they were like, oh wow, that's very interesting.
Speaker 3: Later on, one of his guests called him out and
Speaker 3: was just like on the panels like, dude, you were
Speaker 3: absolutely just played in a pr stunt, like that's.
Speaker 2: Right, say, and he appealed. You know what Trump did
Speaker 2: is he appealed to build narcissism and fickleness, which is
Speaker 2: notorious and well known in the industry. Right, and he says, Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll just be nice to this dude for like an hour,
Speaker 2: and I know he'll go on his show and talk
Speaker 2: about how nice I am and he'll win over the
Speaker 2: center left people. Meanwhile, as it's happening, like you just
Speaker 2: mentioned top of the show, they literally kidnapped an innocent father,
Speaker 2: Abrego Garcia and have openly said, nah, we're not going
Speaker 2: to bring him back, and they're you know, shutting down
Speaker 2: the government and tanking the economy.
Speaker 1: But listen, he was nice to me, right, That's the thing. Like,
Speaker 1: that's truly the gist of it. It's like, ignore everything
Speaker 1: else materially that's happening around you and to other people,
Speaker 1: because anecdotally for me, I didn't have to interrupt him
Speaker 1: during a dinner. It's like, I'm fine. Every other person
Speaker 1: in Hollywood who's defending their like me too friend is like, well,
Speaker 1: he never did that to me. He's nice to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a classic white male privilege. And and the
Speaker 2: one thing about Bill Marty if I can't say, you
Speaker 2: know how they say sometimes listen to people of color.
Speaker 2: You don't have to just listen a lot of Arabs,
Speaker 2: black folks, Muslims have been on Bill maherh for years,
Speaker 2: including myself, and there was this casual acceptance of his
Speaker 2: rampant anti Arab, anti Muslim bigotry, his misogyny go down
Speaker 2: the list, but they're like, you know what he is
Speaker 2: an ally, he's influential and very rarely he was called
Speaker 2: out on it. If you just replace Muslim Arab the
Speaker 2: way he talks about is it's like straight up like genocidal, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: And people are like, hey, it's okay, and now you're
Speaker 2: seeing the true colors. And I remember there's two people
Speaker 2: who went on a show. I won't mention their names,
Speaker 2: you know them. One of them said the guy this
Speaker 2: was years ago. He said the guys, your stereotypical ignorant
Speaker 2: like white American dude who thinks he's smarter than everyone
Speaker 2: else and just like shoots off the cuff. I only
Speaker 2: go on a show because each time I go, I
Speaker 2: could sell books. The second person what was a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago? Two years ago? She was told by
Speaker 2: the producer before the show, don't don't correct him too
Speaker 2: much because Bill doesn't don't like that. Oh so we're
Speaker 2: talking about the world's most fragile snowflake and the reporter
Speaker 2: I think Josh forgetting his last time. He was so
Speaker 2: nice to him. And even then you saw Bill. Do
Speaker 2: you see Bill like just turn on him?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, it's just it. Yeah again, thin skin.
Speaker 3: It is wild to see a lot of like like
Speaker 3: sort of white well intentioned liberals coming around now, Like,
Speaker 3: how could.
Speaker 1: You Bill mart It's like, I'm sorry, I mean, did
Speaker 1: you like to your point?
Speaker 2: Was I had? Like?
Speaker 1: Did you not hear fucking anything else he's been saying,
Speaker 1: because he's been demonstrating his lack of critical thinking skills
Speaker 1: and that he is, to put it lightly, just most
Speaker 1: regressive like idiots, like ideologically so regressive out loud. He's
Speaker 1: he's like I say, way too much. He's like center
Speaker 1: left for America by like right wing for reality. Yeah right, yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing nothing that he actually believes is center or left.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean, I think this is kind of
Speaker 3: what happens, especially with Americans, is marginalized people constantly are
Speaker 3: yelling like we're dying, we're getting killed.
Speaker 1: No one cares that we're getting killed. And then a
Speaker 1: thing happens where it completely intersects with like a majority
Speaker 1: white audience, and they're like, wait, he is he likes Trump?
Speaker 1: Oh well hold on now, this this is a bridge
Speaker 1: too far. I can't, I really can't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very very jarring. But did you all know did
Speaker 2: you all know this? We're like, yes, yes we did.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Bill, we all just tricked because his show
Speaker 3: was on HBO that you thought like that would because
Speaker 3: of its mere presence on HBO, that it's giving it's
Speaker 3: giving democrats, mainstream democrat kind of thing that they're like,
Speaker 3: well then, because it's there, I basically watch it uncritically
Speaker 3: and I assume these are normal thoughts and ideas.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Bill, anyway, continue to just mar it up, sir.
Speaker 2: And the way he represents a real quick he represents
Speaker 2: a lot of white folks who won't say it out loud,
Speaker 2: but have said the following libs have gone too woke.
Speaker 2: They lost me. I didn't lose them, and by two
Speaker 2: woke insert person of color woman LGBTQ. Yeah that's it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's it exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're so focused on like this woke stuff.
Speaker 2: I just don't understand that.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad Target abandoned their Di DEI initiatives. Oh
Speaker 3: and now there foot traffic continues to dwindle as a result.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah, thirteen weeks in a row. Meanwhile, Costco went
Speaker 2: all in with di I, and yeteen weeks in a
Speaker 2: row their foot traffic is up.
Speaker 4: Weird.
Speaker 3: I mean that My favorite was that era.
Speaker 1: It's I it's a little bit gone, where like Bill
Speaker 1: Maher was held up as like the like left wing
Speaker 1: Tucker Carls or whatever, like whatever. All the Fox News
Speaker 1: like dickheads were getting like whatever. Their version of canceled
Speaker 1: was like they would always be like how would you
Speaker 1: feel if they came after Bill Maher? And it's like, good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: who do you think this is? I'm like, this guy
Speaker 1: is closer to Ann Coulter than Trump is, Like.
Speaker 2: He's that on his show many times very favorably.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm like, what do you You're not watching
Speaker 3: that and that episode?
Speaker 1: Ye?
Speaker 2: Exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Just sounding the third term nonsense all over again. Anyway,
Speaker 3: So hold on to your your cigar butts as you
Speaker 3: watch that, your stokes as Bill Mark continues to do
Speaker 3: his stuff. The other thing, though, in a normal universe,
Speaker 3: hearing about Meta's anti trust trial getting underway would sound.
Speaker 2: Like, Oh, wow, we're doing something here.
Speaker 3: We're looking at these big companies and maybe starting to
Speaker 3: break them up because of all the anti competition and
Speaker 3: anti competitive practices. Their trial has finally started as of Monday. Specifically,
Speaker 3: you know, we're talking about the buying out of Instagram
Speaker 3: and WhatsApp as a will to as a way to
Speaker 3: kill any competition to Facebook. Lawyers for the FTC say
Speaker 3: it's pretty clear Zuckerberg wanted to, you know, neutralize Instagram
Speaker 3: and thinks it's easier to buy out a company rather
Speaker 3: than compete. That's problematic and this isn't their analysis. These
Speaker 3: are Zuckerberg's own words he used in internal emails, like
Speaker 3: he's talking about neutralizing the threat of Instagram, that I'd
Speaker 3: rather buy out.
Speaker 2: I don't want to compete.
Speaker 3: Worst case scenario for nark Szuckerberg is that he is
Speaker 3: ordered to break up the company and sell off IG
Speaker 3: and WhatsApp. But luckily, as we've seen as many oligarchs
Speaker 3: have over the years or the last couple of years,
Speaker 3: he's been working on Trump to try and get this case.
Speaker 1: To go his way. He gave him a million dollars
Speaker 1: for the inauguration.
Speaker 2: He did.
Speaker 1: Suckerberg even put Dana White on the board of fucking Meta.
Speaker 1: He settled a case with Trump and paid him twenty
Speaker 1: five million dollars to settle a lawsuit because they suspended
Speaker 1: Trump's accounts after January sixth, rightfully anyway, Oh and let's
Speaker 1: not forget that Mark Zuckerberg also got rid of fact
Speaker 1: checkers recently to really just let the you know, misinformation
Speaker 1: environment thrive. But yeah, this is all very I don't know, like,
Speaker 1: is this just a show trial or is this going
Speaker 1: to be like a thing where maybe he's Trump is
Speaker 1: just going to try and extract more concessions out of
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg and then have the decision go whatever way he needs.
Speaker 3: Because as of this moment, there are no Democrats that
Speaker 3: serve as FTC commissioners like they pushed out the last
Speaker 3: two a few like a month or two ago.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how this ends up in a
Speaker 1: way that is not beneficial to Mark Zuckerberg, although I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe, I mean, remember Eric Adams. What he tried to
Speaker 2: do with Eric Adams was Eric Adams voluntarily went and
Speaker 2: Ben Thony at marl Lago and then surprise, surprise, within
Speaker 2: a week later, you know, it was announced that there's
Speaker 2: gonna be no investigation. But Donald Trump said, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll see. I kind of lorded it. Oh that's what
Speaker 2: people don't forget. He kind of lorded it over him
Speaker 2: that if you misbehave, I'll come back for you. However,
Speaker 2: that was superseded by the judge. You pretty much said no,
Speaker 2: you know, what's done is done. And now Eric Adams
Speaker 2: kind of did it a play for play quid pro quote,
Speaker 2: where hey, you get this the Justice Department off my
Speaker 2: back for taking treats from Turkey, and I'll let I'll
Speaker 2: open up New York for Ice to come in and
Speaker 2: get all these undocumented. So I think the same thing's
Speaker 2: gonna happen with Zuckerberg and everyone else. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: going to extract from you loyalty and money. You're gonna
Speaker 2: do what I say or else. So I don't think
Speaker 2: anything's gonna happen in Zuckerberg. He you know, he bent
Speaker 2: the knee, he pledged money to the inauguration fund, He's
Speaker 2: praised Donald Trump, he was at the inauguration. And that's
Speaker 2: how it is a shakedown. It's like the Godfather rules
Speaker 2: and the only way to resist is to do that,
Speaker 2: just resists. But every every single one of them are
Speaker 2: bending any because they want to avoid litigation, they want
Speaker 2: to avoid being broken off, they want to avoid regulations
Speaker 2: and voila. So I predict nothing's gonna happen. He'll be
Speaker 2: perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: I got a feeling about this, which I don't know.
Speaker 3: This might this might be the one that.
Speaker 2: Gets sucker maybe.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I do think also though, like even
Speaker 1: without all the knee bending and whatnot, it's like they're
Speaker 1: fucking Republicans. They're not breaking up anyone. They're not doing
Speaker 1: any antitrust anything. Ever, what do you look like another
Speaker 1: oligarch who's like, hey, bro, break them up so I
Speaker 1: can scoop that up. Yeah, there's like there's like, no
Speaker 1: no one, there's no reason they would do this anyway,
Speaker 1: So like.
Speaker 3: I mean, only if it directly impacted like a very
Speaker 3: close ally of Trump's. And they're like, in this case,
Speaker 3: is in a specific way? Yeah, but there's just no way.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: But also they would have done this under fucking Reagan,
Speaker 1: Bush Bush whatever, like yeah, like this is this is
Speaker 1: what they do.
Speaker 2: And can we also uh you know, I I've heard
Speaker 2: first time I'm on the show, but you all criticized
Speaker 2: democrats also, Democrats allowed the rise of the brologarchy. You know,
Speaker 2: Democrats were hand in hand with these tech bros. And
Speaker 2: Democrats could have also put their foot on the lever
Speaker 2: to try to hold them account well, but they didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and now you have something naked and shameless in the
Speaker 2: form of Trump.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, I mean yeah, it's ugh ugh. And yet
Speaker 1: you see a lot of people like still pointing the
Speaker 1: fingers at people.
Speaker 3: They're like, why did you say Joe Biden was old?
Speaker 2: This is why we have Trump.
Speaker 1: It's like, uh, yeah, that's an interesting distillation of what happened.
Speaker 1: But yeah, even with the Eric Adams thing, I mean
Speaker 1: that judge with he dismissed the charges with like extreme prejudice,
Speaker 1: so that means actually Trump has no ability to sort
Speaker 1: of lord that over Eric Adams anymore, because the judge
Speaker 1: was so disgusted. He's like, this is so on its
Speaker 1: face transactional, like fuck all this, get it out of here.
Speaker 2: I'm done.
Speaker 1: I mean the other part of it, though, is Trump
Speaker 1: doesn't know that. Yeah, of course, and he can. And
Speaker 1: again he has the DOJ, so he can do fucking anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah he wants so. And that's the Eric Adams the
Speaker 1: greatest mayor in New York, the greatest, the greatest city
Speaker 1: in America.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You could take trees from Turkey, and they also have
Speaker 1: a delicious Turkey sandwich at.
Speaker 3: One of our steam delis.
Speaker 2: I love this city. I'm a Turkish delight, I mean
Speaker 2: New York delight.
Speaker 1: It's just so little money too, It's always a shockingly
Speaker 1: small amount.
Speaker 2: Yea, guys, yeah, yeah, well how.
Speaker 1: Is democracy this cheap? It's really Musk.
Speaker 2: Bought bought half of it for two hundred ninety million dollars, yeah,
Speaker 2: which is like for the dollar store. So yeah, right,
Speaker 2: yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: Hey you want what do you what you on? You
Speaker 1: want pick it out?
Speaker 2: Pick it out? You can get to today to Baba.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two, we're doing the podcast was good, was on
Speaker 1: fire today? We're doing great baby. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break when we come back. Katy Perry safely
Speaker 1: returned from outer space. Thank god for that, and also
Speaker 1: thank god for this Jesus Pixar movie that just came
Speaker 1: or not Pixar movie, fake ass Pixar Jesus movie. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that right after this.
Speaker 4: And we are back.
Speaker 3: So, the the Blue Origin flight with the star studded
Speaker 3: crew including Katie Perry, Gail King, and Bezoss Beyonce, Lauren Sanchez,
Speaker 3: among others, went up up there into the Great Beyond
Speaker 3: for a little bit and came back and everyone is safe.
Speaker 3: Apparently this is the quote first all female flight crew
Speaker 3: in more than six decades to head to space. So
Speaker 3: I didn't I didn't even realize this is wait, so
Speaker 3: what was that sixty years in the sixties?
Speaker 1: Okay? Is this the same shit? Where like when they
Speaker 1: when they had the deep Water Horizon, like everyone, all
Speaker 1: the passengers technically have to be classified as crew to
Speaker 1: get around liability. Probably, I mean, I mean, like, in
Speaker 1: what sense is Katy Perry crew? Well, hold on, that's
Speaker 1: really unfair. Let me just tell you she was preparing Andrew,
Speaker 1: so please don't be flipping about this absolutely significant contribution
Speaker 1: to scientific research. In advance of the launch, Katy Perry
Speaker 1: was telling people she was preparing by reading Carl Sagan
Speaker 1: and learning about string theory. Okay, which may I mean?
Speaker 3: She was crewe for a flight that was fully automated
Speaker 3: and only lasted for ten minutes.
Speaker 2: And she also wore an eleven dollars setting spray to
Speaker 2: quote lock in her makeup during the flight, and she
Speaker 2: said it truly held. Wow.
Speaker 3: See yeah, and that's how I had too when they go,
Speaker 3: what was that? Oh, this is my brand that I
Speaker 3: just launched into space with me baby. She also held
Speaker 3: a daisy, I think to commemorate her child's daisy. So
Speaker 3: she brought a daisy and look, and now you went
Speaker 3: to space, just wondered. This is a quote from when
Speaker 3: she was talking about the lead up to this from
Speaker 3: Katy Perry, I think, actually, I'm really excited about the
Speaker 3: engineering of it all. I'm excited to learn more about
Speaker 3: STEM and just the math about what it takes to
Speaker 3: accomplish this.
Speaker 2: Type of thing.
Speaker 1: I was winding down from our rehearsal the other day
Speaker 1: and I was listening to I was listening to Cosmos
Speaker 1: by Carl Sagan and reading a book on string theory,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I was like going to bed. That was
Speaker 1: definitely like helping. I was Likeagoris, pythagoris, It says snoring.
Speaker 3: Parenthetical it goes on to say, but you know, I've
Speaker 3: always been interested in astrophysics and interested in astronomy and
Speaker 3: astrology and the stars. The first two were sciences, those
Speaker 3: were actual scientific those were bodies of scientific research. The
Speaker 3: other one that's a more vibe based thing but connected
Speaker 3: to the stars. And I do respect that, Katy Perry,
Speaker 3: that you tried to elevate astrology.
Speaker 2: I'm glad she didn't go on a SpaceX rocket because
Speaker 2: that would be a firework. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, ooh deep cut, deep cut, you know, they said.
Speaker 3: Gail King said, oddly enough, that she didn't sing firework
Speaker 3: or roar because quote according to Gail King, she didn't
Speaker 3: want to make the moment about herself.
Speaker 2: But she did sing.
Speaker 3: She covered what a wonderful world for her literally captive audience.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we are being destroyed by the dumbest
Speaker 2: people on Earth. It's like, really frighten.
Speaker 1: I mean My favorite evidence is listen and I Katy
Speaker 1: Perry's an entertainer. She does not need to be a mathematician. No,
Speaker 1: but just go up there like Chagaris is the first
Speaker 1: and often last thing that has the word theorem attached
Speaker 1: to it that Americans learn, right, and that shit is
Speaker 1: from when you're twelve years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, she should have just said, seriously, that's when
Speaker 2: you when like dumb, like stars try to like appear
Speaker 2: like they're scientific and smart intellect just be like, yo,
Speaker 2: bezos DM me. So you want to go on a rocket?
Speaker 1: I said, dope, I said, yeah, that thick.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was California Girl in Space. That's same, dude,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Remember remember that track I did e T Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was et for a second.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, I'm extra terrestao I again, great, I think.
Speaker 3: But yeah, to your point where y'all had like, there's
Speaker 3: just you can just be like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I gave me a chance to go on a spaceship,
Speaker 3: that's cool. Rather like I was in the lab fucking
Speaker 3: looking at all.
Speaker 2: These theorems, some string theory I was looking at.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, checking out what was going on with mercury
Speaker 3: rising you feel me? Uh, it was ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Here's a question. Do you think when Katie Perry covered
Speaker 1: One Wonderful World she did it in a Louis Armstrong impression?
Speaker 2: Oh my god? May I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like hopefully Gail King would have shot her
Speaker 3: dagger eyes if she started doing that, She'd like, you.
Speaker 2: Are gonna do? She's stuck and take it?
Speaker 1: Do you think?
Speaker 3: I mean, like, if this is true, what the fuck
Speaker 3: is the I feel bad for the other people on there,
Speaker 3: were like, is she really like singing up here? Like
Speaker 3: can we just can we just all appreciate that, you know,
Speaker 3: we're killing the earth together.
Speaker 2: And we have to go back down there. But I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: They have to. I mean they're all this. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is exactly like deep Water Horizon meets the Barbie Movie.
Speaker 1: Like it's just like, you know, fake feminism whatever connected
Speaker 1: to the most evil people on Earth. And it's fine,
Speaker 1: Like they knew what they were getting into.
Speaker 2: That's right. It's capitalism for it's pr for billionaires exactly.
Speaker 2: They got played and used, just like Bill mart got
Speaker 2: played by Donald Trump. Yeah, yeah, you should just admit it.
Speaker 2: You should be like if it was me and I went,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, yo, a rich billionaire gave me a
Speaker 2: free trip into space or space ish is not real
Speaker 2: space and space Beverly Hills. I was aim space and
Speaker 2: I would never be able to do it. And I
Speaker 2: did it, and that's that it was.
Speaker 1: And I didn't fully understand the safety risks and I
Speaker 1: am fine, yeah, okay, And.
Speaker 3: Look I pressed a lot of buttons when I was
Speaker 3: in there, and nothing broke.
Speaker 2: You know, there's no.
Speaker 1: Way that past. Those passenger seats don't have a bunch
Speaker 1: of fake buttons attached to nothing.
Speaker 3: Oh it's like when you're on like a Star Wars,
Speaker 3: like you're in those.
Speaker 1: Maggie Simpson driving the car in the opening credits of
Speaker 1: Simpson's like, it's just fake, it's fake.
Speaker 2: Imagine.
Speaker 3: They're like, all right, all right, all right, Sergeant Katy Perry,
Speaker 3: on my on my mark, please hit the oxygen button.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm ready, I'm ready.
Speaker 2: Three, And did you hit the booster booster two? Hit
Speaker 2: booster t There's no way that's not right.
Speaker 1: There's just a bunch of there's an iPad that beeps
Speaker 1: when you touch it and it doesn't connect to anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean like that like it's wild too,
Speaker 3: because while there is like the like the Katy Perry's
Speaker 3: and Gales of it all, there's.
Speaker 1: Like Aisha Bow who's like a former actual, like not
Speaker 1: NASA rocket scientist, and Amanda Wind who's like a bio astronautics, Like.
Speaker 3: I wonder for those people.
Speaker 1: They're like, bro, I was going up there, she kept
Speaker 1: talking to me about fucking string theory. Yeah, what the
Speaker 1: fuck was that?
Speaker 3: I'm legit.
Speaker 2: It must just kill them, right, like you might kill
Speaker 2: them as they're seeing as NASA is being destroyed and
Speaker 2: actual science programs are being dismantled, that Katie Perry and
Speaker 2: Gil can get to go to space on a billionaire's rocket.
Speaker 2: It's just like the pain, the pain that they must experience.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's just got to be like a level of disrespect,
Speaker 3: Like it has to be existential, like especially for these
Speaker 3: actual bona fide scientists. They're on this rocket with like
Speaker 3: these very wealthy people. They go up and like Wow,
Speaker 3: this is great, and they're like, you guys aren't doing
Speaker 3: nothing while they destroy science in America.
Speaker 1: Well, but I do think that the evilist middle ground
Speaker 1: is I don't know these people, I don't know what
Speaker 1: they thought about this. But I feel like when I've
Speaker 1: seen other people in this position, they are always rationalized
Speaker 1: saying like, yeah, they're destroying the space program, they're just
Speaker 1: trying Earth, but like this is my chance to like
Speaker 1: change their mind right, And it's always like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe the fucking flcio speaking at the RNC guy, I'm
Speaker 1: just like, no, man, what.
Speaker 2: If Bezos gave both of you a chance to go
Speaker 2: on the rocket? Way to do it?
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't advertise it. I got to be on
Speaker 3: with a lot of billionaires and I'm gonna do you
Speaker 3: all solid up there?
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: Moment, Yeah, but I just be farting in there, and
Speaker 3: they'll be at a.
Speaker 1: Hit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm farting the whole time. They're not. They're gonna
Speaker 3: be like, what happened?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, myles, what was your resistance?
Speaker 3: I was stuck and I ate so much billionaires, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so much? Top they did for two hours.
Speaker 2: They very they.
Speaker 3: Don't know, they're somehow smarter. I'm sorry for that, but yeah,
Speaker 3: we we will see. It's twenty two because like like
Speaker 3: William Shatner went on one of those celebrity space rides
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. His reaction, like Katy Perry said, quote,
Speaker 3: she felt super connected to love when she was up there.
Speaker 3: This is what fucking Captain Kirk said when he went
Speaker 3: up with Jeff Bezos. It was among the strongest feelings
Speaker 3: of grief I have ever encountered. The contrast between the
Speaker 3: vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth
Speaker 3: below filled me with overwhelming sadness. My trip to space
Speaker 3: was supposed to be a celebration. Instead it felt like
Speaker 3: a funeral.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I interviewed him two years ago. What
Speaker 2: was on his birthday for south by Southwestern. I think
Speaker 2: he's in his nineties. You know, he's an interesting guy,
Speaker 2: but he has a lot of age, a lot of wisdom.
Speaker 2: He's a person who actually thinks deeply about life and
Speaker 2: also at this stage of his life death. So he
Speaker 2: actually gave like a profound answer. And then you have
Speaker 2: Katy Perry connected to astrology.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, Look, different strokes, y'all for different folks,
Speaker 1: that's all we Hey, look, if you want to feel
Speaker 1: connected to love or the the cold, the vicious coldness
Speaker 1: of space, I mean there is a little bit of
Speaker 1: billionaire space washing here too. Because all this like we're
Speaker 1: going to colonize Mars like they're they are literally trying
Speaker 1: to make this seem like fun. And guess what, You're
Speaker 1: gonna die alone in the freezing cold that you've never
Speaker 1: like that is in our lifetime. Every Mars colonist is
Speaker 1: going to die alone. Will we see them get there?
Speaker 1: I don't know, will we see that? I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think the engineering curently supports it. But when we're old,
Speaker 1: they're gonna send some dickheads of some bitcoin dickheads out
Speaker 1: there to try it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my god. But you know what the funny
Speaker 2: thing is is. I mean it's not funny, but it's
Speaker 2: actually if you study the proligarchy and what they are
Speaker 2: afraid of, they've gone around taxes when you when we
Speaker 2: were all grown up, we used to tell, like gen
Speaker 2: X and Millennius, the only two things guaranteed in death
Speaker 2: in taxes. But if you say that to like gen
Speaker 2: Z or Jen Alpha, they like, rich people don't pay taxes.
Speaker 2: So the really that's guaranteed in life is death. And
Speaker 2: they're trying their best to escape death and they can't.
Speaker 2: They did they ticked off the taxes box. Yeah, out
Speaker 2: to the death box. Mmm.
Speaker 3: They're trying, man, They're trying, really are.
Speaker 2: That's why they're all into AI is humanism, because you.
Speaker 3: Imagine earth, there's like maybe we go to Transylvania, maybe
Speaker 3: we can meet a vampire and get turned and then
Speaker 3: we can be, you know, immortal like them, and it
Speaker 3: seems like a fucking fucked up life.
Speaker 1: But fine, dude, it's as good as any of their
Speaker 1: other schemes. Yeah, I know, right, Like vampire just as
Speaker 1: plausible as yeah, must pivots from Mars to being like,
Speaker 1: we have to make real life vampires with immortality.
Speaker 2: And they only like they sell the vampires, like there's
Speaker 2: a tier of vampire blood. They're like they'll find a
Speaker 2: way to capitalize vampire.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, popping out saying it's actually a vampire.
Speaker 2: Yes, vampire.
Speaker 3: Actually we're gonna say it in the proper pronunciation.
Speaker 2: Pronunciation. I prefer to be identified as vampire human.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They're like, oh, you could only afford the sixty
Speaker 1: year life extension of that vampire blood.
Speaker 2: Uh, that sucks.
Speaker 3: Couldn't be me, broke boy, I got I got the
Speaker 3: millennia on this one.
Speaker 2: I'm on that one.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: They're like you're gonna see the end of Earth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be worrying about the end of Earth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually you are too. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then finally, uh, just with the box office so mine,
Speaker 3: the Minecraft movie continues to be number one. Kids are
Speaker 3: still losing their ship in the screenings on the Chicken Jockey.
Speaker 2: Uh, kids made me take them book. My kids made
Speaker 2: me taken and I felt so bad. I didn't know
Speaker 2: idea what was happening. And then I saw this happening
Speaker 2: all throughout the They just threw their popcorn and I
Speaker 2: just said that I'm like the poor, underpaid yeah teenage usher,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, who have to deal with this?
Speaker 1: It's like, bro, you're making more work for your friends
Speaker 1: right now, and what the fuck?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 3: It's wild to see how much copycat behavior like in
Speaker 3: the realm of social media, because like you had so
Speaker 3: many clips. I've seen these kids when the Chicken Jockey
Speaker 3: part comes out, they all have their phones and they're
Speaker 3: almost like trying to look around to be like we're
Speaker 3: doing the thing now right, Yeah, turn up even more.
Speaker 3: Very kind of surreal to watch.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Around four hundred and thirty four million has been made globally,
Speaker 1: from the number two movie was The King of Kings.
Speaker 3: Which we have mentioned before that this was coming out.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a CGI kids movie about a time traveling
Speaker 3: Charles Dickens visiting Jesus.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's sort of like like an AI TMU, Pixar, Pixar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got Pixar, We got Pixar at Home kids.
Speaker 1: It really looks bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's bad. It looks like like shit. And I
Speaker 3: hate to say that about a movie about Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: But the story the film's called The King of Kings,
Speaker 3: a story told by Charles Dickens.
Speaker 2: Why did they just do like the biblical version of Jesus.
Speaker 2: That would have been fine, The King of Kings, the
Speaker 2: story in Jesus. Yeah, I know it was the Charles
Speaker 2: dickensie and take on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no either did I. But so it was released
Speaker 3: by Angel Studios, which you might remember from twenty twenty
Speaker 3: two's Sound of Freedom, and as they say, it had
Speaker 3: the quote best opening for an animated Biblical movie, which
Speaker 3: seems very specific in order to give yourself a superlative achievement.
Speaker 3: But Deadline did note that I guess Prince of Egypt
Speaker 3: that came out twenty seven years ago is the closest
Speaker 3: thing that they're saying. I guess that is the one
Speaker 3: they're referencing because it didn't sew them in theater.
Speaker 2: That was by dream Works. Yeah. Yeah, I was like
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight. I randomly remember I got a free
Speaker 2: screening in college. So yeah, it took them twenty twenty
Speaker 2: seven to twenty years and not counting inflation to beat
Speaker 2: Prince of Egypt exactly.
Speaker 3: And again, you know, like the reviews are all over
Speaker 3: the place. One critic pointed out that the movie's message
Speaker 3: that quote it's wrong to profit from religion is somewhat
Speaker 3: undercut by the fact that it's a movie that's literally
Speaker 3: profiting from whatever Jesus saying.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I keep punching, I mean punching
Speaker 1: right for me by punching left from what people consider
Speaker 1: the center. Like every time fucking you know, a democratic
Speaker 1: democrat ish type person points out the hypocrisy of these people,
Speaker 1: it's like dog, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, this is they
Speaker 1: don't care. They don't care, that's not the point. They
Speaker 1: get to say it, and then most uncritical viewers of
Speaker 1: it will be.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, yeah, self.
Speaker 3: Awareness not really for me.
Speaker 2: Well, like the look you all fold that Sound of
Speaker 2: Freedom scandal. The dude who was inspired on apparently is
Speaker 2: a total fraudster doing the things allegedly.
Speaker 3: That yeah a yeah, like doing these weird romance scams,
Speaker 3: like we got to go undercover and maybe we should
Speaker 3: be intimate to make it believable that we're.
Speaker 1: Like whoa, no, no, no, this is all that.
Speaker 2: But you know what I've been I've been keeping an
Speaker 2: eye on Angel Studios for a while because I've been
Speaker 2: noticing they've been releasing these movies for a couple of years.
Speaker 2: In the first this week, in the second week are
Speaker 2: really good. Their low budget, they always make a big profit, right,
Speaker 2: So they have these niche movies, and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: this is like, if you want to actually make money
Speaker 2: in movies, you do these niche movies that appeal to
Speaker 2: either the Christian faith based audience, Latino audiences, and Indian
Speaker 2: South Asian audiences via Bollywood or horror movies. And now
Speaker 2: it's been fused with maga right wing politics, which is
Speaker 2: something we should keep an eye on. Like it's not separated.
Speaker 2: And if you think it's whack, I give you Sound
Speaker 2: of Freedom.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, I mean similarly to Sound of Freedom.
Speaker 3: A lot of people are like wow, Like a lot
Speaker 3: of people seem to have been going to see it
Speaker 3: obviously because it coincides with Easter. But again, like Sound
Speaker 3: of Freedom, they pulled a pay it forward ticketing gimmick
Speaker 3: where allowed people whoever who knows, maybe their own like
Speaker 3: their own benefactor, whatever, people are buying just large sums
Speaker 3: of tickets, and people can go like go to a
Speaker 3: pay it forward sort of ticket site, get a code,
Speaker 3: and then buy their action will ticket without actually paying
Speaker 3: for it. Yeah. Yeah, so the box novels.
Speaker 1: Can be inflated by a yeah don't.
Speaker 3: It's like the same way, like that people do that
Speaker 3: with like New York Times bestseller things like yeah, I
Speaker 3: bought sixteen I bought sixteen thousand copies of.
Speaker 2: It Jor's best selling book.
Speaker 1: I think that that is the thing that is sort
Speaker 1: of heartening about this stuff, is like because this is
Speaker 1: all they do, this thing because this is what they
Speaker 1: believe all marketing is is simply using getting aheadline plate
Speaker 1: the number. Yeah, but the reality is it's like that
Speaker 1: just makes this movie less profitable because like it's all
Speaker 1: this all this like pay it forward, all these like
Speaker 1: unused payd forward tickets. I would bet money they are
Speaker 1: being funded by the producers of this film.
Speaker 3: Oh right, I don't yeah, or they or they have
Speaker 3: other people.
Speaker 1: There's like a network where some people, yeah, there's other
Speaker 1: people are like, yeah, dude, you can count me in
Speaker 1: for like a million dollars worth of tickets. Sure, but
Speaker 1: like the ecosystem is not earning money because doesn't have
Speaker 1: eyeballs and interested humans, which is like again cold comfort.
Speaker 2: But you know what they do, right, They then get
Speaker 2: to Trojan Horse in quote unquote mainstream media that we
Speaker 2: are much stronger than we appear and the center right
Speaker 2: is forgotten by liberal media. And then you know, look,
Speaker 2: everyone talks about how they work the culture very well
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four through podcasts and UFC and barstool. Sure,
Speaker 2: but it took them all that and this is the
Speaker 2: one positive Donald still barely won by one point four. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so they're always trying to inflate I think their their
Speaker 2: numbers and their reach more than they are. And then
Speaker 2: you see people like Bill Maher and New York Times
Speaker 2: always bend the knee, yeah because it's fun over it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like those people are cowards. But the reality is
Speaker 1: they do not have the humans that they know the
Speaker 1: numbers are not there. The numbers are not there, so
Speaker 1: again cold comfort. But like when it's time to measure
Speaker 1: numbers of humans against another, numbers of humans in opposition,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is called.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Mean the other the other thing they were doing too,
Speaker 1: is they were doing a kid's go free promotion, so
Speaker 1: like an adult could be like, oh yeah, it's cheaper
Speaker 1: than taking my kids to Minecraft and getting popcorn in
Speaker 1: my really stylish haircut. And that's awesome too, because that
Speaker 1: just helps remind your kids that they hate you and
Speaker 1: you didn't bring them to me.
Speaker 3: Like bro I had. All my friends are talking about whether.
Speaker 3: They were all showing their Chicken Jockey video clips turning
Speaker 3: up in the theater, and they asked where mine was,
Speaker 3: and I had to show them a scene from the
Speaker 3: Resurrection and Ship and everybody with tears.
Speaker 1: In their eyes The Resurrection with Charles Dickenson.
Speaker 2: If I took my kids to King of Kings instead
Speaker 2: of Minecraft, I think my son would like there would
Speaker 2: be like permanent damage done towards Oh yeah, he would.
Speaker 3: He would do the thing is like, Dad, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: call the city on you. Yeah, they're gonna take away anythink.
Speaker 3: But this would be like somebody's like, does Dad hate me?
Speaker 2: Why? Yeah? Why would you do that to me?
Speaker 1: He's like, well, Christian, why would he even do this
Speaker 1: to us? This is fucking what is this nonsense?
Speaker 2: It's mixed signals.
Speaker 1: Dad is dead.
Speaker 2: We were fasting for Ramadan and now you're telling me
Speaker 2: that Jesus is God.
Speaker 1: He's the truth.
Speaker 2: And then Charles Dickens is a time to have traveling prophet?
Speaker 2: What did you just think of me? The minecraft?
Speaker 3: That's how he knew is the best of times and
Speaker 3: the worst of times?
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, what is the theology of Charles Dickens?
Speaker 1: Is doctor who at.
Speaker 3: The Crucifixion of Christ?
Speaker 2: Is that really? Are you just making it up? Because
Speaker 2: the first time I've actually heard is that Charles Dickens
Speaker 2: is in this movie.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, apparently that is literally what is to happen?
Speaker 7: I thought maybe he wrote a story, But is Charles
Speaker 7: Dickens here? I will read you the Dickens This is
Speaker 7: the plot while Charles. While Charles Dickens is performing a
Speaker 7: stage reading of his novel A Christmas Carrol, his unruleased
Speaker 7: son Walter. Oh well, maybe one of your your.
Speaker 3: Pseudonyms uh disrupts the performance while playing King Arthur backstage
Speaker 3: and gets scolded by his father. On the evening, when
Speaker 3: Dickens returns home, he decides, on the advice of his
Speaker 3: wife Catherine to use Walter's passion for Kings to.
Speaker 1: Tell him about the life of the King of Kings
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Total youth passion was like, you know who
Speaker 1: the King of Kings was?
Speaker 2: Son?
Speaker 1: I mean, it has to be that they count on
Speaker 1: their audience to be literally so illiterate that Charles Dickens
Speaker 1: is the only author connected to a Christian thing in Christmas.
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't even I haven't even ruined it
Speaker 1: by telling you who lended their voices to this film.
Speaker 3: Do you know who played Charles Dickens?
Speaker 1: Who voiced Charles Dickens, Kenneth Branna, You know who voiced
Speaker 1: you know who voiced Catherine Dickens his wife Uma Thurman.
Speaker 1: You know who played King herod Mark Hamill. You know
Speaker 1: who played Ponscious Pilot Pierce Brosnan. You know who played
Speaker 1: Peter Forrest Whittaker, Caiaphas Ben Kingsley. Yes, this is good
Speaker 1: because all this fake money that's being used to inflate
Speaker 1: the ticket sales does have to be paid as a
Speaker 1: percentage to things like residuals, so like as they scam
Speaker 1: the fucking audience, they do have to pay these people. Also,
Speaker 1: there's no sure sign that we are in a recession.
Speaker 1: Then a lister's doing stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well that means they have like a few
Speaker 2: money that they give, right, that's that's yeah. You'll get
Speaker 2: good actors and they'll throw money at them. And these
Speaker 2: actectors have no idea what's going to happen in the
Speaker 2: future because Netflix is just like dumbing down all the content.
Speaker 2: So like, hey, go for two days for Angel Studios
Speaker 2: and get paid to play Charles Dickens.
Speaker 1: It is yeah, it is also true that like the
Speaker 1: fucking yeah, like it's it's just worth it for them
Speaker 1: to do this, like they have to do it, and
Speaker 1: something's keeping Hollywood afloat.
Speaker 2: I love it if they paid you both, would you
Speaker 2: do this and you do that? Way?
Speaker 1: I would have to be I would have to be Jesus.
Speaker 1: That's the only way. That would be my heart. That
Speaker 1: would be my bargaining chip. I'm Jesus, and then I
Speaker 1: would crash out before the movie came out to.
Speaker 2: Completely fuck it up.
Speaker 3: But how much Hey, if I can get on, you know,
Speaker 3: in one of these freedom cities and be protected one
Speaker 3: of them freedom cities, I think, Yeah, I mean as
Speaker 3: long as not if it's a U seven part hell no,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: If I'm about number two rules, Charles Dickens, you don't
Speaker 2: get Jesus, but they'll give you Dickens.
Speaker 1: Oh, I imagine how much is Jesus actually in this?
Speaker 1: Do you think.
Speaker 2: I mean he's in it?
Speaker 1: I mean, it ain't just all Charles Dickens is reading
Speaker 1: a bedtime story and Jesus I'm saying. I'm saying, but
Speaker 1: he's like a like a side character. It feels like this.
Speaker 1: Oh I forgot to tell you know who Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: was voiced by.
Speaker 2: I read that? What Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh man, this is anyway anyway? He and look just
Speaker 1: like Oscar Isaac bro He is risen, he is risen.
Speaker 1: Me up, dude, I can't handle this. I can't handle
Speaker 1: this Savior.
Speaker 2: I would play. I would only do it if they
Speaker 2: made me beat Jesus just so when people saw who
Speaker 2: actually voiced the characters, they saw brown Muslim voicing Jesus,
Speaker 2: and it would just mess with them for a long time,
Speaker 2: right right, and then they find out Muslim is believing Jesus,
Speaker 2: and it would just double mess with them, and then
Speaker 2: pexas would need to get another Coffer tattoo on the other.
Speaker 1: Well, well, joahead, Ali, thank you so much for joining

Speaker 2: pay what you can. And we have now sixty thousand subscribers,
Speaker 2: which for me is big for other people don't. But no,
Speaker 2: that's been amaze. That's big. That's big.
Speaker 3: Is there a work of media, social or otherwise that
Speaker 3: you are enjoying.
Speaker 2: I just finished I binged and saw season six of
Speaker 2: Black Mirror, and it was actually a very strong season.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know if you've seen it before, Like
Speaker 2: there are there, there's a lot of heart turggers in there.
Speaker 2: But the scary part of Black Mirror if you just
Speaker 2: see you know, if you see the first one, is
Speaker 2: you see it and you're like, it's really sad, it's grim,
Speaker 2: but you're like, you know what if they actually discovered
Speaker 2: the schnology which doesn't seem that far off, this is
Speaker 2: how billionaires would exploit it and bring about misery. So
Speaker 2: it's getting a little too close to like reality, which
Speaker 2: is making Black Mirror very uncomfortable for me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just reading or I heard an interview
Speaker 1: with the creator of it, and he was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying. It's not like a warning. He's like, I'm
Speaker 1: just very scared and I just write about it through
Speaker 1: this is how I express my fear.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I've each one of them is plausible. Man,
Speaker 2: Like you we we used to see Black Marrot. I've
Speaker 2: been seeing it for a while ten years ago. Even
Speaker 2: the technology wasn't there, and I was ai, You're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: if Elon, Musk and Bezos get their hands on this,
Speaker 2: this is exactly what they would do. Yeah, yeah, wow,
Speaker 2: I haven't. I was.
Speaker 1: We were just talking the other day off Mike. Everybody
Speaker 1: that works on the shows, like I stopped watching After
Speaker 1: the Band or Snatch Choose your Own Adventure one or
Speaker 1: I think when that came out, I was like, I
Speaker 1: can't do all this, bro, I'm I don't need I
Speaker 1: can't do interactive TV like this and also just gonna
Speaker 1: freak me out. Now, okay, thank you so much with
Speaker 1: jah hit. What about you, Andrew? Where do they find you?
Speaker 2: Follow you?
Speaker 3: And what's the working media you're enjoying.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I deleted all the social media apps
Speaker 1: off my phone. It's not on my account to be media.
Speaker 1: Yeah smart smart, I'm you know Andrew t podcast as
Speaker 1: yo as as racist. We are thinking about doing a
Speaker 1: PIT watch along. I know the season is over for
Speaker 1: for Suboptimal Pods, our premium section. I will say this,
Speaker 1: here's my hot take, and this is spoiler free because
Speaker 1: this is what I wish the finale of the Pit was.
Speaker 1: A Pit is a medical drama. That is I think
Speaker 1: you know everyone's saying it's the most accurate modern medicine possible.
Speaker 1: But if that were true, the last hour of the
Speaker 1: season would have just been everyone doing paperwork in silence,
Speaker 1: just sitting there asking what the medical code for a
Speaker 1: luryngia scope is that kind of business? I hate the
Speaker 1: fuck this new system.
Speaker 3: Why did they switch to this new system?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Tapping them?
Speaker 3: Sorry, guys, we were just bought by another healthcare system
Speaker 3: and they moved us all to their software and it's
Speaker 3: it doesn't make any I don't.
Speaker 1: Know why they did this.
Speaker 3: They won't make me feel like that every time I
Speaker 3: go to the doctor, like a new healthcare system bought
Speaker 3: us a network and now just give me one second.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So the pit pretty good until the finale, which
Speaker 1: again should have been paperwork.
Speaker 2: Only there we go.
Speaker 3: A work of media I'm liking is from at brendelboard
Speaker 3: dot Besky dot social post. It is pretty wild to
Speaker 3: think of Barack Obama sitting with someone from Central America
Speaker 3: and going, well, I think it would be a good
Speaker 3: idea to send American citizens to your secret prisons and
Speaker 3: the media just being like, oh, okay, that's dope, man. Anyways,
Speaker 3: how about tariffs, because that's yeah, that's kind of what's
Speaker 3: going on right now, Holy shit. You can find me
Speaker 3: on Everywhere at Miles of Gray. You can find Jack

Speaker 3: that they sampled for slow Down by Brand Nubian, That's
Speaker 3: what I Am by Edie Brikell and New Bohemians. That's
Speaker 3: a track we're going out because that like that that
Speaker 3: guitar lick, it's got something to it, and so shout
