Speaker 1: Does my mic sound good?
Speaker 2: By the way, your mic sounds nice? Your mic sounds nice. Brian,
Speaker 2: during the break that was in my head, I was
Speaker 2: saying that, what is that from just puttering around my house,
Speaker 2: just Brian and I being fucking weird doing Mike Mike nice,
Speaker 2: My mic sounds nice?
Speaker 3: Oh that was Crisp Crisp, Mike, Crisp, Crisp, Mike Unique,
Speaker 3: New York Chris Crisp, Mike Mike Hot pod. This is
Speaker 3: a hot pod.
Speaker 1: I thought of hot topic, hot topic.
Speaker 2: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season three, seventy episode
Speaker 2: for I don't know what this is. Uh, it's s
Speaker 2: d's Hey, it's a production of iHeart Radio. It's Wednesday,
Speaker 2: January eighth. We're kind of off cycle because I don't
Speaker 2: know if you guys seen this shit. But La is
Speaker 2: on fire right now.
Speaker 1: The cities on fire.
Speaker 2: Wow, And there she is. There. She is thrilled to
Speaker 2: be joined by very special guest co host.
Speaker 1: Paula because we'll cry.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's chaotic. It is fucking crazy out there.
Speaker 2: But my mic sounds nice, sounds nice, doing vocal warm ups,
Speaker 2: doing mic tests. Yeah, I'll let Miles speak to his
Speaker 2: experience when he's back whenever that is, I'll just say
Speaker 2: he's safe, but unable to record at this time. At
Speaker 2: my house, we're just like over here doing the analog
Speaker 2: version of doom scrolling, which is watching the local news.
Speaker 2: Is we got the local news on in some rooms,
Speaker 2: trying to like hide it mostly from my kids, who
Speaker 2: are like my eight year old's always had like a
Speaker 2: fear of fire, and now I'm like wondering if he's psychic,
Speaker 2: but he's It's like half of his nightmares are fire
Speaker 2: based for some reason. That's why, because.
Speaker 1: He's Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: So I've been i don't know, trying not to make
Speaker 2: like freak him out too much.
Speaker 1: Other dreams are about the economy, He's like the houses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Those dreams are about black rid. He's
Speaker 2: just like really plugged into the current events, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what is it with this kid? How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm grateful that I'm doing okay. I am worried about
Speaker 1: out people in LA. I'm worried about my friends and
Speaker 1: people in the affected areas. I'm worried about the aftermath
Speaker 1: of this. I'm worried about unhoused people. I'm worried about
Speaker 1: the environment and wild animals. But I am grateful I
Speaker 1: have power of running water. I'm doing okay. I hope
Speaker 1: they stop this soon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the running water thing, isn't it. Like I've
Speaker 2: never noticed this where the fire is so out of
Speaker 2: control that they've been like, you need to stop using
Speaker 2: water because we need it all to spray at the fire.
Speaker 2: Like last night, we didn't have enough water to like
Speaker 2: fill the tanks that they're pulling from.
Speaker 1: There also has been like things going around about people
Speaker 1: like spraying wetting their own houses to stop the fire.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I'm wondering if people are doing
Speaker 1: that too, like in leading me too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been told that is a smart thing to do.
Speaker 2: I have not done that this time. I have done
Speaker 2: that in the past when I lived in a different area.
Speaker 2: That was when I left that house for the last time.
Speaker 2: There was like ash raining into our yard. It was like, Wow,
Speaker 2: this is really happening. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember, like years ago, I was so stupid. I
Speaker 1: went to college in the LA area and like we
Speaker 1: would still play basketball outside when there were fires. Like
Speaker 1: we were so fucking stupid.
Speaker 2: We were a nosebleed. Every time I cross you up.
Speaker 1: I know and then like there was another time at
Speaker 1: the beginning of stand up of my stand up career
Speaker 1: where I was like still hosting the Slapper's open mic,
Speaker 1: and I walked outside and there was ash raining down
Speaker 1: on me, and I was like, this is the grind,
Speaker 1: the hustle.
Speaker 2: That's right, that's how real I keep it out here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: air quality is definitely kind of one of the main
Speaker 2: concerns for me. There is a unnaturally bright gray cloud
Speaker 2: hanging over everything. It's like overcast, but the quality of
Speaker 2: the light is very weeld, weird and wield that baby
Speaker 2: mode on that one per se, it's very.
Speaker 1: Wield get shut together, we need to go back like
Speaker 1: it smacks me in the faith. That seems like such
Speaker 1: a metal the clouds with the weird light seems like
Speaker 1: such a metaphor for like our Los Angeles dreams, like
Speaker 1: like overcast with patches of lights shining to us.
Speaker 2: Might need to revise that California dreaming. So at some
Speaker 2: point maybe Zach and the Rippers can do it and
Speaker 2: we'll save by the bell reference for other forty five
Speaker 2: year old people who.
Speaker 1: Love being on the left. According to the Vagrum Swammy,
Speaker 1: what's that his whole analogy about Screech and Zach and Slater.
Speaker 1: Did you guys cover that? Like?
Speaker 3: Vi?
Speaker 1: Vig Ramaswami wrote this whole post about it.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I missed it.
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I thought the audience would know. He wrote
Speaker 1: a whole thing about how we're when the H one
Speaker 1: B visas were like the hot topic in the moment.
Speaker 1: He wrote a whole post about how we're elevating Zach
Speaker 1: and Slater instead of Screech from and he had all
Speaker 1: these nineties references.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I've always I've always liked that guy.
Speaker 2: We've always saw ey eye on only saved by the
Speaker 2: bell references. But how are you just kind of doom scrolling?
Speaker 2: How are you experiencing the whole thing?
Speaker 1: I I'm probably gonna start cleaning more just to handle it.
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to watch, Like I have my app open.
Speaker 1: But there's the watch Duty app.
Speaker 2: That auty is blown.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody download. It has where the fires are. You
Speaker 1: can turn like the flags thing off so you can
Speaker 1: see like the actual borders. It has evacuation orders, it
Speaker 1: has where shelter locations are. So that app is doing
Speaker 1: great right now. So I'm looking at the things that
Speaker 1: I need to look at. But other than that, I'm
Speaker 1: just like, this would be a great time to catch
Speaker 1: up on Real housewives or something that I don't need
Speaker 1: to anxiety my way through.
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how is your dog reacting
Speaker 2: in any weird ways? Or well, this morning there's no
Speaker 2: birds anywhere?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so sad. That is so sad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did any of them.
Speaker 2: They're like like my bitches.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I Like I went outside this morning for like
Speaker 1: a minute, just because I was like, like, my one
Speaker 1: dog wasn't peeing or pooping inside because he's great. But
Speaker 1: and then I went outside for like a minute, and
Speaker 1: then they started sneezing, and I was like, we're going
Speaker 1: back in. It's inside time. I can't do this, yeah,
Speaker 1: like you're just gonna have to figure out how to
Speaker 1: pee inside.
Speaker 2: I was immediately aware of, like how long it's been
Speaker 2: since I changed the air filters in my house, Like
Speaker 2: the second that I was like, fuck, yeah, I'm meaning
Speaker 2: to change the air filters. Yeah. It's kind of hard
Speaker 2: to politicize and make sweeping generalizations from like inside a
Speaker 2: news story that feels like it is still ongoing, and
Speaker 2: it does in many ways feel like it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: just nature rolling the dice and taking out entire chunks
Speaker 2: of our city. But that has not stopped people from trying.
Speaker 2: I will say the one like political reality this is
Speaker 2: driving home. I remember during the election, one of the
Speaker 2: stories that was used to highlight like why a next
Speaker 2: Trump administration would be different from the first Trump administration
Speaker 2: was I think it was Ezra Klein pointed out that
Speaker 2: during the first Trump administration and at one point and
Speaker 2: that this is like the shape of this story is
Speaker 2: echoed repeatedly by people who worked in the first Trump administration.
Speaker 2: But there was a wildfire. He was mad at Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2: He's also like currently uh, you know, tweeting wild shit
Speaker 2: at Gavin Newsom, like he hasn't contained this fire at all, which.
Speaker 1: He's doing photo ops.
Speaker 2: Come on, he's not. Yeah, but during his first administration,
Speaker 2: he told people in his cabinet to withhold funding, like
Speaker 2: federal support for a wildfire catastrophe in California to like
Speaker 2: just get back at like in a like bitch off
Speaker 2: with Gavin Newsom. And the only reason California like hasn't
Speaker 2: been on fire ever since then is because the people
Speaker 2: in his cabinet just fucking ignored him, And the moral
Speaker 2: of that story was like, it's gonna be really bad
Speaker 2: this next administration because like he's surrounding himself by people
Speaker 2: who won't ignore him, who will actually do what he's saying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's like seems to be the entire operating
Speaker 2: principle of this administration. So it's just kind of uh
Speaker 2: eerie to have this climate catastrophe happening, like as we're
Speaker 2: days mered days away from that reality being upon us.
Speaker 2: The other I feel like politically salient detail.
Speaker 1: It's salliant, it's salient.
Speaker 2: The point the detail is salient. My mic sounds nice.
Speaker 2: The detail is I'm scared valliant. But people are like
Speaker 2: the mayor is in Africa, like when she should be here,
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, man, Like she didn't know this
Speaker 2: shit was about to happen. Like I'm sure there's some
Speaker 2: coded racist shit involved in people being outraged that she's
Speaker 2: in Africa. I will say that one detail that keeps
Speaker 2: coming up that does seem worth talking about is that
Speaker 2: the LAFD like budget was cut by eighteen million dollars
Speaker 2: this year, which is like a small amount considering the
Speaker 2: overall budget of the department. But they also increased the
Speaker 2: police budget by like one hundred and thirty eight million dollars.
Speaker 1: Okay, but they needed that money because they needed to
Speaker 1: buy the add ons for candy Crush on their phone. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's right, They need to hit it for all the
Speaker 1: app purchases.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at a time when crime is going down and
Speaker 2: the danger of fire due to climate catastrophe is going.
Speaker 1: Up, just like the crime though, can't.
Speaker 2: Can't they just arrest the fire.
Speaker 1: It is funny because to the fire, the.
Speaker 2: Police are tweeting about the about you know, they're they're
Speaker 2: obviously completely helpless and useless for many scenarios in this
Speaker 2: one in particular, But they did tweet at two am
Speaker 2: last night the LAPD. So this is from the LAPDHQ.
Speaker 2: The LAPD remains vigilant during the ongoing fires throughout the
Speaker 2: city of la and has deployed officers for high visibility
Speaker 2: patrol during the tactical alert. At this time, we have
Speaker 2: received no information regarding looting or other criminal activity in
Speaker 2: the affected areas, so like the only thing they're worried
Speaker 2: about is looting and then followed up individuals taking part
Speaker 2: in such activity may be subject to enforcement. Please check
Speaker 2: back for updates. That's individuals taking part in such activity
Speaker 2: is just like such fucking dumb guy, smart police language.
Speaker 1: I think they're calling out the fire because they viewed
Speaker 1: as a person of color because it's like red and orange.
Speaker 2: And stuff, you know what I mean. It's true. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, they would love to report information regarding looting
Speaker 2: in the affected area, So that means there really ain't
Speaker 2: shit going on. They really are useless.
Speaker 1: Not be surprised if they started like arresting people who
Speaker 1: were just taking their belongings and putting them in their car. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you can't be looting this house.
Speaker 2: And you're like, where are you going with that?
Speaker 1: They're like, we're gonna have to confiscate this for our
Speaker 1: Is it registered? Do you have a license for that, kitty?
Speaker 2: But yeah, high visibility patrols, which is basically their strategy
Speaker 2: for everything. If the fucking helicopters are any indication, although
Speaker 2: they what does that mean?
Speaker 1: They're just like they're just out there just walking around,
Speaker 1: just strolling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they like want to make sure that you
Speaker 2: see them. They're like, we're out here. Maybe they're putting
Speaker 2: their lights on a little bit they're they're flexing.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely hearing sirens, but I assume that's for the fires.
Speaker 2: Like they're just out there just running their sirens, just
Speaker 2: trying to be like, hey, don't forget about us.
Speaker 1: They're like, it's go time. We woo oo woo.
Speaker 2: Really seems like it would be a good, good opportunity
Speaker 2: for somebody to be like, all right, so like clearly
Speaker 2: climate is the problem and not you know, shoplifting. May
Speaker 2: maybe we shift that budget over here.
Speaker 1: I really do hope that people that are affected or
Speaker 1: able to like not just the people that are affected,
Speaker 1: but it feels like if they have more power in
Speaker 1: the city, like or connections or whatever, then they use
Speaker 1: those to like make a change, because it's it's just sucks,
Speaker 1: like all of this could have been prevented within the
Speaker 1: first Like isn't it like fifteen minutes if you can
Speaker 1: qualify it prevents it from turning into like hundreds of
Speaker 1: acres of damage or whatever.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, the winds are bonkers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: You know, it's up to one hundred miles per hour winds,
Speaker 2: And yeah, I have you know, friends and parents of
Speaker 2: friends mostly who's like houses of burned down and it's
Speaker 2: a fucking it's really wild out there.
Speaker 1: It's devastating, it's so sad.
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll finish
Speaker 2: talking about this story and move on to a couple
Speaker 2: other things that are happening in the news. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back, and we're back, and we do want to
Speaker 2: say a positive word that one member of a police force,
Speaker 2: the Police Academy Police Force, Steve Gutenberg, here acting like
Speaker 2: a wildfire hero. Just he was caught on the local
Speaker 2: news moving people's cars to ensure that fire trucks could
Speaker 2: get through so that the over in like the Pacific Palisades,
Speaker 2: which is where the first big fire broke out, and
Speaker 2: you know, like entire like towns, we're just like wiped out.
Speaker 2: People were evacuating their cars because there was an evacuation
Speaker 2: order and there's a traffic jam because everybody was evacuating
Speaker 2: at the same time, and so they just all had
Speaker 2: to leave their cars behind and that clogged the roads.
Speaker 2: And so Steve Gutenberg was still there for some reason
Speaker 2: and he just like was They found him on the
Speaker 2: street moving people's cars out of the way so that
Speaker 2: fire trucks could get in and so he went on
Speaker 2: the news to urge the public to leave their keys
Speaker 2: in their cars if they were leaving them behind, so
Speaker 2: that they could be moved.
Speaker 1: When I first saw this screenshot of the interviewer in
Speaker 1: Steve Gutenberg, it looks like Steve Gutenberg is the interviewer
Speaker 1: because that's how I imagine him in my head from
Speaker 1: like police academy. But now he's like older obviously, so
Speaker 1: he's the person being interviewed. Yeah, but that's like cool
Speaker 1: that he's encouraging people to do that. Yeah, what if
Speaker 1: the police arrest him because they think he's.
Speaker 2: Living you know, I mean, I will say, like, so
Speaker 2: he says, in a crisis, always remember that you are
Speaker 2: you're part of a community. Great advice, and if you're
Speaker 2: an able bodied you've got to help. I think situationally,
Speaker 2: really good advice. But like the thing that you seem
Speaker 2: to hear from authorities is like stay the fuck home
Speaker 2: right now. So I don't know, like, but I do
Speaker 2: think it's admirable that he's out there helping people, especially
Speaker 2: because it sounds like they needed the help to get
Speaker 2: these cars out of the way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he is saying like when you walk by,
Speaker 1: like if somebody's in a wheelchair or something.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, that's good and I think that's really good advice.
Speaker 2: So shout out to Steve Gutenberg, one of my childhood
Speaker 2: heroes coming through for me, you know, an adult hero. Yeah,
Speaker 2: childhood into adulthood. But that was Were you a Police
Speaker 2: Academy fan?
Speaker 1: Yeah, my family watched those for sure, huge, huge fans
Speaker 1: of the franchise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the two through because Police Academy one was rated
Speaker 2: R for some I don't think. I still don't think
Speaker 2: I've ever seen Police Academy one.
Speaker 1: I feel like I have. I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: feel like my parents were like they they didn't encourage
Speaker 1: me to see like crazy movies, but they also weren't
Speaker 1: like super restrictive about it. So I feel like it
Speaker 1: made me like well balanced on that end. So I
Speaker 1: might have seen it or like the TBS version of
Speaker 1: it or whatever. You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like a very formative series of films
Speaker 2: that I have not gone back to revisit, but I'm
Speaker 2: sure I do remember how they treated gay nightclubs in
Speaker 2: that film as just a place where if you walked
Speaker 2: in by accident, they were going to force you to
Speaker 2: slow dance with them.
Speaker 1: I love that we need to do that more men
Speaker 1: for them to slow dance with each other.
Speaker 2: But Gutenberg, you know, was fucking holding those films down
Speaker 2: with his He was like sort of like a more
Speaker 2: charming Chevy Chase. I feel like was his energy, Like
Speaker 2: he feel like.
Speaker 1: He also had like the Tom Hanks vibe too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just friendly got the better one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Rather than picking somebody with a bad personality and saying
Speaker 2: he's like that guy with a good personality, I think
Speaker 2: you picked the better example. He's like Tom Hanks. He's
Speaker 2: like just really likable. Uh, And it's nice to see
Speaker 2: him doing a nice thing for people when my other
Speaker 2: favorite film, like Sylvester Stallone is like hanging out at
Speaker 2: mar A Lago, you know, being oh my god, super
Speaker 2: Trump supporter.
Speaker 1: Wait, can I say something that's off topic? Most fun
Speaker 1: I went to Monday Night Raw with Juckies and did
Speaker 1: We talked the moment we were so upset because we
Speaker 1: thought Stone Cold was gonna come and then it was
Speaker 1: whole cogin instead, and we were like, oh this sucks.
Speaker 1: And like the line to get in was really long.
Speaker 1: They were other people in and on us and like
Speaker 1: our gate or whatever. And we were like, ugh, like
Speaker 1: what's happening? And then we we like when the Hull
Speaker 1: Cocaine moment happened, Oh my god, we booed so loud.
Speaker 1: It felt so powerful booing with an entire arena of people.
Speaker 2: It was a magical underrated yesterday, I think, uh or yeah,
Speaker 2: because friend of the show frequent guest Joey Cliff Big
Speaker 2: a wrestling fan and was talking about how great wrestling
Speaker 2: audiences are and it's so fun. That specifically called out
Speaker 2: you guys for booing Hule Cogan, which.
Speaker 1: We boot the fuck out of Hull Cogan, and you
Speaker 1: could we couldn't even hear in the arena like what
Speaker 1: he was saying on Mike because we booed so loud.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Macaulay Cochin huge pop like so the timing that
Speaker 1: he had when he lifted up his hat like to
Speaker 1: give the audience that little reveal. Oh my god, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this man is an entertainer. Everybody like loved him. So
Speaker 1: those were two highlights of the of the night for sure.
Speaker 2: Socaulay Culkin was there in the audience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Macaulay Culchin was in the audience, and they had
Speaker 1: I think it was like Seth Green or something and
Speaker 1: then they pan over and you just see like a
Speaker 1: baseball cap and then it raises up and Macaulay Culchin
Speaker 1: is like, does a little hammy fun thing to me camera. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then everybody was like, we just watched Home Alone
Speaker 1: for Christmas, you know, and it was super fun. And
Speaker 1: then it was like the exact opposite, even worse for
Speaker 1: hull Cogan, like the booing was it was. I know,
Speaker 1: he was so mad when he went backstage. There's because
Speaker 1: some there was some tweet that was like he dedicated
Speaker 1: his whole life to the WWE, and then and then
Speaker 1: he came back for his moment, everybody was like fuck you.
Speaker 2: A tweet from hull Cogan saying that no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: No, Like somebody was saying, like he must be so
Speaker 1: upset because he spent his whole life doing this this
Speaker 1: stuff and like he's.
Speaker 2: Been yeah, yeah, shouldn't have been fucking Trump's hype man,
Speaker 2: Like what the fun.
Speaker 1: He's also always been racist, always openly Racistes died unions
Speaker 1: within the WWE so he could earn more. Like he was.
Speaker 2: Awful the Reagan of WWE. W W at the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, brother, that's the only thing is that's really fun
Speaker 1: to say, so I can'tnot say it. But he's like so.
Speaker 2: Bad that I don't think anybody at this point is like, oh,
Speaker 2: guy's a big hul Cogan fan. I guess you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think we can just call each take of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the lesser problems caused by the fires.
Speaker 2: I'm having a hard time keeping up with the myriad
Speaker 2: stupid and dangerous things that Donald Trump is doing. He's
Speaker 2: on it. He's on a fucking heater right now of
Speaker 2: just stupid bullshit. He just like riffed a press conference
Speaker 2: at mar A Lago where you talk about renaming the
Speaker 2: Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Just going full
Speaker 2: risk on the nation of Greenland or the territory of Greenland.
Speaker 2: I guess he's like threatening massive sanctions on Denmark if
Speaker 2: they don't just like give us Greenland because we need
Speaker 2: it for I think, like his exact quote was something
Speaker 2: to the effect of, like we need it for military stuff,
Speaker 2: so they should give it to us.
Speaker 1: It's fucking insane. Also, does he not know that it's
Speaker 1: North America, So even if he names it the Gulf
Speaker 1: of America, like that's not the US.
Speaker 2: Yeah's he think. I think he just wants it to
Speaker 2: be more equitable in.
Speaker 1: A name Mexico, like South America or something, and.
Speaker 2: Then we change South America to then I don't know, he.
Speaker 1: Said the thing about Canada. He wants it to be
Speaker 1: the fifty first state, and it's like Puerto Rico is
Speaker 1: right there, and like DC, they're just like what the fuck,
Speaker 1: like give us representation?
Speaker 2: Nah hm hmmm. That would that would let the Libs
Speaker 2: win to come up with an idea that nobody has
Speaker 2: thought of, because it's completely insane.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could handle if we if
Speaker 1: the United States of America became more French. I think
Speaker 1: it would cause me severe discomfort, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah, So you like seemed to be threatening to
Speaker 2: annex like a bunch of countries Like this feels like
Speaker 2: the I don't know, like start of something different where
Speaker 2: it's just like, yeah, we're going to actually like go
Speaker 2: full hitler, We're going to like bevading, We're just going
Speaker 2: to like take over a bunch of the world. It
Speaker 2: seems like that's like I don't know Elon Musk's influence.
Speaker 1: But maybe I mean, like I don't like, how realistic
Speaker 1: are we like at doing that successfully without destroying ourselves first,
Speaker 1: like in those hands.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Yeah, it's a very very
Speaker 2: stupid decision.
Speaker 1: It's going to ruin other people's lives and Americans lives
Speaker 1: like it's so it's the end of a It's the
Speaker 1: end of an era.
Speaker 2: You guys, we have we really did it conspiracy theory
Speaker 2: because the big outcome, the big consequence of his So
Speaker 2: the way he's trying to get Denmark to give Greenland
Speaker 2: to US is by threatening the most massive sanctions, which
Speaker 2: would cause huge spikes in the weight loss drugs like
Speaker 2: that ozempic and all all those would I always want
Speaker 2: to say would go VIA, But I think that's like
Speaker 2: a bank in the Midwest or something.
Speaker 1: There, something that's VIA. I know, I know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 2: But those those medicines are all made in Denmark, so
Speaker 2: they would all get incredibly expensive. It's just like he
Speaker 2: thinks things one step ahead. Essentially, we would.
Speaker 1: Think that like, oh, if there are weight loss drugs
Speaker 1: that like rich and powerful people like want to keep
Speaker 1: taking that, Like, first of all, they'll still get them,
Speaker 1: but second of all, like he would love to do
Speaker 1: that to like the Hollywood elite, even though he's part
Speaker 1: of them.
Speaker 2: You know, right, yeah, yeah. And also you know, we
Speaker 2: have talked about how the weight loss drugs, the way
Speaker 2: that they get you to lose weight is by eating less,
Speaker 2: and so it's hurting the like profits of grocery stores
Speaker 2: and you know big food McDonald's and working with like
Speaker 2: young brands and McDonald's and the dairy industry to make
Speaker 2: America overeat again. It is wild. Our writer Jam McNabb
Speaker 2: pointed out that in this in this press conference that
Speaker 2: could have massive international relations implications. He also went on
Speaker 2: a long rant about how dishwashers. He said, they want
Speaker 2: very very little water to go into your dishwasher, almost none.
Speaker 2: You know what people do, They just keep pressing, pressing, pressing,
Speaker 2: keep it going, using more water, likewise washing machines, which
Speaker 2: I don't think is true.
Speaker 1: But about any buyers, I think he knew, and he
