Speaker 2: It looks like it's improvising poetry to itself. It does.
Speaker 5: It's like it's like the vibe of like sitting by
Speaker 5: the bonfire and dark souls. You know, it's kind of
Speaker 5: it's it's romanticized stoicism.
Speaker 2: I like that quite a book, but I was.
Speaker 5: My roommate texted me the other day and said, hey,
Speaker 5: can you keep it down like I'm like studying, And
Speaker 5: I just sent her a picture of my Amazon shopping
Speaker 5: list and it was a unicycle and hand symbols. Really
Speaker 5: like cracking my up thinking about like how funny it
Speaker 5: would be to move into like an apartment as like
Speaker 5: someone's neighbor and be like, you know, I'm going to
Speaker 5: get into like doing like circus carniche, like circus sidehist.
Speaker 2: I'm going to.
Speaker 5: Be a live circus monkey, learn how to ride a
Speaker 5: unicycle and bash.

Speaker 2: Right right right, You're like I need to mute the
Speaker 2: fucking chat.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Always some loud ship that you overhear over those gaming headphones, came,
Speaker 2: what about you?
Speaker 7: Oh my god. Okay, well, I have a lot of
Speaker 7: shit in my I've been I've been converting the end
Speaker 7: to USD because I am going to Japan, my homeland.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I am going when you go October.
Speaker 2: October beautiful time, beautiful time.
Speaker 7: For spooky season.
Speaker 2: Baby.
Speaker 7: But I have recently been searching Julie masking. Okay, and
Speaker 7: nobody knows who the fuck Julie Masking is.
Speaker 2: But I thought it was a makeup technique. I'm like, oh, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah it is.
Speaker 7: You could call it a makeup technique. And if we're
Speaker 7: talking full silicon bodysuit.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I became obsessed with Julie Masking about seventeen years
Speaker 7: ago when she posted some videos on early YouTube, like
Speaker 7: they're still up on YouTube.
Speaker 2: She looks like long legs.
Speaker 7: She does look like long legs. She has long legses,
Speaker 7: and I'm obsessed with long legs right now, So anything
Speaker 7: long legs is just making me like freak out. But
Speaker 7: she is a character that appeared online seventeen years ago
Speaker 7: and then disappeared just as quickly. She would just post random,
Speaker 7: like thirty second videos of herself and a full silicone,
Speaker 7: hyperrealistic silicon mask, and I could not, for the life
Speaker 7: of me or remember what her name was a few
Speaker 7: days ago. So I was having a full manic episode
Speaker 7: trying to remember what this woman's name was. And you know,
Speaker 7: you'd be surprised. It's actually not a man in a
Speaker 7: full silicon bodysuit. She's actually a trans woman in a
Speaker 7: full silicon bodysuit.
Speaker 2: So, and she's like an artist, Like, what's what?
Speaker 7: Like, Yeah, she's actually so I found well, there's not.
Speaker 7: It's very mysterious.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like I love that you brought this up
Speaker 5: to my attention. This is like a creepypasta that I
Speaker 5: would like watch. Yes, it's like very like shrouded and
Speaker 5: like mystery. Nobody really knows who Julie Masking is, but
Speaker 5: her flicker exists on the internet, and it turns out
Speaker 5: she's just like an old school like showgirl drag performer
Speaker 5: trans woman from back in the day. And I guess
Speaker 5: seventeen years ago she just decided, Hey, I'm going to
Speaker 5: put on this fucking silicon mask and freak everyone.
Speaker 7: Out on the internet. And I remember watching those when
Speaker 7: they were first posted. But then the other day, I
Speaker 7: was trying to remember who she was because I was
Speaker 7: thinking a lot about long legs, as I do ever
Speaker 7: since I saw the movie, and I was just going insane.
Speaker 7: I was like Google image searching, like trying to like
Speaker 7: figure out her name. Her name is Julie Masking, but
Speaker 7: today she has a new she's she's still doing it,
Speaker 7: but now she goes by Julie mask espelling in the
Speaker 7: English or French way, which is m A s que
Speaker 7: and cool. Yeah, there's not a lot of information about there.
Speaker 7: She's very shrouded in mystery.
Speaker 2: Okay like that.
Speaker 5: But there used to be this old creepy YouTube video
Speaker 5: that like I'm gonna describe badly, but I'm sure I
Speaker 5: feel like you, Carmen have probably seen it. But it's
Speaker 5: like a probably like a it's like a grainy VHS
Speaker 5: thing of like this like girl in like a bunny suit,
Speaker 5: like on stilts and she's like singing like a children
Speaker 5: song or something. It's very it's like terrifying, Like I
Speaker 5: remember seeing it in like twenty ten. It was like
Speaker 5: I was so enamored by it, and it's the kind
Speaker 5: of it's like you described, it's like the yeah thing
Speaker 5: that like it's impossible to find like any information.
Speaker 2: On because it's probably like that's probably the point.
Speaker 5: It's like it's like a you know, art project by
Speaker 5: some like you know, insular little like gay guys like
Speaker 5: living in you know, and this is just what they
Speaker 5: do in their free time to freak people out. But nonetheless,
Speaker 5: I do think it's like, really, I think.
Speaker 2: That shit's so cool, Like I love that.
Speaker 7: I love shit like that.
Speaker 5: I wanted if I find this video, I'm gonna send
Speaker 5: it to you. I bet you you've seen it. But yeah,
Speaker 5: so hard to find anything now, Yeah.
Speaker 7: It is, you know, everything the search engine has fucked up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: What is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: Vinegar as a concept, I think we don't give enough
Speaker 4: credit to vinegar. We have salt and vinegar chips. It
Speaker 4: gives us a pop. I don't like cucumbers in general,
Speaker 4: so those types of pickles are not a fan of.
Speaker 4: But like pickling any other vegetable, you can't do it
Speaker 4: without vinegar. Yeah, it's a great cleaning solution. It can
Speaker 4: get like pretty much anything off of anything can take
Speaker 4: any smell out. Once again, salt and vinegar chips. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I just don't think we give enough credit to vinegar.
Speaker 2: I love something that chips.
Speaker 1: Dude, we decide that vinegar was a food stuff and
Speaker 1: then spilled it on something and watched the dirt like
Speaker 1: melt away.
Speaker 2: Like, I wonder which came you, discovery or was it
Speaker 2: a was it.
Speaker 1: A cleaning solution that somebody dropped a potato chip in
Speaker 1: and then was like, I'm too hungry to not eat
Speaker 1: this thing.
Speaker 4: I think it was someone being like like when you
Speaker 4: smell sharpies and you're like, smells kind.
Speaker 2: Of good like that. Oh, I guess it derives from
Speaker 2: the old French term meaning sour wine. Never mind, Okay,
Speaker 2: well I love it.
Speaker 4: What are your favorite chips?
Speaker 2: Oh? I love a good like when there's a good
Speaker 2: salt vinegar chip. I like regional chips, you know whatever,
Speaker 2: like it is like the local brand. I'm not like,
Speaker 2: I don't care what the flavor is. Its fascinating, Like
Speaker 2: you go to like you know, like like Louisiana and
Speaker 2: these zapps like craw tapers and those are I was like, yo,
Speaker 2: what fuck, these are amazing pickle chips. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: like I'm a big saltmn vinegar person for sure. Yeah
Speaker 2: me too.
Speaker 1: I like sult vinegar. Also, like like anything with a
Speaker 1: little bit of kick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you when you get do you get fish
Speaker 2: and chips and then just douse the ship in vinegar?
Speaker 4: Are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: Because right now I'm on a real like tin fish kick.
Speaker 4: Because like, now, if you've tried sardines on a salt
Speaker 4: and vinegar chip or Anthroby's on a saltan vinegar chip,
Speaker 4: if you really like vinegar and salt, it's amazing. Okay,
Speaker 4: Oh I just want to pick that up vinegar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fish, Yeah, exactly, a good minionette. You know, the
Speaker 2: red wine vinegar is essential, so fancy not a girl minion. Minionette. No,
Speaker 2: it's not a girl, right, I just.
Speaker 1: Want And I knew that. I was just clarifying.
Speaker 2: Really quick. Minion Oh that mean a minion.
Speaker 1: Damn dude, this restaurant sucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just your mention of Sharpie like it. That is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite smells, along with like tennis ball, new car.
Speaker 1: There's are they somebody needs to create like an air
Speaker 1: freshener that Sharpie scented, because I feel like I don't
Speaker 1: know that many people who openly admit to loving the
Speaker 1: smell of Sharpie.
Speaker 2: Are we talking about Astralia Sharpie? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I love that smell.
Speaker 2: I mean it's yeah, it's got that. It's like it's
Speaker 2: like a nice cheese you know what I mean, where
Speaker 2: you're like and then.
Speaker 1: You're like.
Speaker 4: That sanitizers, like the cheesemonger of third grade. You're just like, Oh,
Speaker 4: it's kind of stinky, but I kind of love it.
Speaker 2: But it's kind of it's me, you know, part of
Speaker 2: my brain that I'm not used to. Maybe it's a
Speaker 2: brain decay, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are the accidental chemical compounds that for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: I like want everything gas Yeah, gasoline is the a.
Speaker 4: List after this stuff. Like I don't know someone that
Speaker 4: likes weird smells or someone that smells dangerous materials.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like small cannon gasoline. Are you making like
Speaker 2: flaming tennis ball? Like yeah, we did that too, but
Speaker 2: tennis ball and then launched it started for Sacon.
Speaker 4: We got a new business idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you like tennis boss, because I know I'm not.
Speaker 4: Are we dogs?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think we might be. Yeah, I remember it,
Speaker 2: he got I remember getting in trouble at a Big
Speaker 2: five for popping open a tennis ball Can when I
Speaker 2: was like four that we didn't we weren't buying, but
Speaker 2: then my dad had to buy because I was just
Speaker 2: cracking it at the at the Big five, I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, let me yep, And then I was
Speaker 2: up like Don Junior on a Marrow logo.
Speaker 4: His Rumble Show is just so good in the world.
Speaker 1: God, yeah, we're gonna have to watch it. We watched
Speaker 1: it on yesterday's episode. I think we're gonna have to
Speaker 1: watch it again.
Speaker 2: At least talk about that whole yeah situation. Sir, sir, I.
Speaker 4: Have a specific clip if y'all are interested.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, great, I wonder if you has the same clip?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Was it from the JD Vans livestream?
Speaker 4: Oh no, this is one from like a couple of
Speaker 4: months ago where he's ranting about Fox News and like
Speaker 4: it just gets They're like they won't let me on anymore,
Speaker 4: and like just keeps going on and on.
Speaker 1: And it's ex and we're not talking about that.
Speaker 4: I will put a link to this, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, put that in there.
Speaker 1: What is something, Caitlin you think is overrated?
Speaker 8: Another movie? Long legs, Long Legs story everyone.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Back to back Long Legs takes
Speaker 2: on the show this week.
Speaker 8: Oh wait what what? What else was saying?
Speaker 2: Yesterday's guests were like it just check it out. It's fine,
Speaker 2: it's fun. Don't look into it too much. If you
Speaker 2: like horror, great watch it. Boom. It wasn't like sort
Speaker 2: of like a like a full endorsement like this is
Speaker 2: the greatest thing. It's like, but yeah, it's fun, it's
Speaker 2: just watch it.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think it is worth the watch for
Speaker 8: some of the things.
Speaker 2: And you don't got it just you got your own
Speaker 2: you know, your own opinion. Yeah, so what is it
Speaker 2: fucking bullshit?
Speaker 8: I thought it was really good until about the midpoint
Speaker 8: and then it lost me. But I thought, I mean,
Speaker 8: it's an effective horror thriller. I was, I was feeling
Speaker 8: on edge the tensions there, but I think it gets
Speaker 8: really goofy world building wise about halfway through and then
Speaker 8: it completely lost me. So it was I was just
Speaker 8: trying to do too much. So I feel like it
Speaker 8: didn't live up to the hype.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, I just remember I felt like everyone was like,
Speaker 2: oh I saw it more than like, oh it's the
Speaker 2: best movie I've seen. Like I felt like a lot
Speaker 2: of people were just like, yeah, I saw it and
Speaker 2: it was like, yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess now, like when the early reviews were
Speaker 8: coming out, you were, I was like hearing things like
Speaker 8: I shiit.
Speaker 1: My pants, get ready to ship your pants, and to
Speaker 1: move to change them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Part of the marketing was the lead actor, whose name
Speaker 8: I also don't know.
Speaker 1: Las.
Speaker 2: Yep forgotten.
Speaker 8: No, I got this one, I got this one, Micah Monroe. Yes, yes,
Speaker 8: there was this clip of her approaching Nicholas Cage's character
Speaker 8: for the first time in the scene like she hadn't
Speaker 8: seen him in his makeup at like in character until
Speaker 8: she was like as long as long legs. And also
Speaker 8: my letterboxed review for this movie was like, his legs
Speaker 8: weren't even that long, misleading.
Speaker 1: It does play into your favorite format of film review
Speaker 1: about radioactive Yes, but he was named after a dang
Speaker 1: spider you know.
Speaker 2: Oh but in the trailer, yeah, they are being like
Speaker 2: one hundred percent on rotten Tomatoes. They are definitely needing
Speaker 2: it to be like flawless victory.
Speaker 8: And I would say that is incorrect in my humble
Speaker 8: yet expert film opinion.
Speaker 1: Long Legs just fucked your whole ship up. It made
Speaker 1: you made you ship in your pants and we're not
Speaker 1: paying for new pants.
Speaker 2: Don't you guys being so mean to us? Wick at
Speaker 2: you you ship your pants? Everybody himself?
Speaker 9: What why are you?
Speaker 2: Are you so freddy? This is like.
Speaker 1: Already already horror film.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'll tell.
Speaker 1: You one thing. It has long legs. At the box office,
Speaker 1: I had to say, still earning, still earning. It's neons
Speaker 1: top top film of all time.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, all right, good for what I mean, good
Speaker 8: for that. For them, it's worth seeing. I just don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 8: It deserves quite all the hype that.
Speaker 2: Flawless score.
Speaker 1: Go watch Blake Wexler's stand up special Daddy long Legs
Speaker 1: and yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that? Support local artists?
Speaker 1: How about that? Okay, you want to support local artists?
Speaker 1: You want to support long legs?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to support long about a daddy as
Speaker 2: daddy too with long legs, not some NEPO baby named Nicholas.
Speaker 1: Yes, right, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: Hear your uncles really making a scene on set too, there, Nick,
Speaker 2: Oh did you read that report? I remember when we
Speaker 2: were first talking about Megalopolis and how he was like
Speaker 2: being fucking like he was touching women and trying to
Speaker 2: kiss them during like the block and all type scenes.
Speaker 2: Wait yeah yeah yeah, And now like more reporting has
Speaker 2: come out to be like, yeah, I think a video
Speaker 2: is coming. He has sex grip. Yeah, gross, I'm just
Speaker 2: trying to get him in the mood. You're like, dude,
Speaker 2: this isn't sixty two, right, And that also was appropriate. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's how we did things. You're like, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: you know, we've moved along.
Speaker 1: He's like, dear Lauren, I sold a whole fingyard for this.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
Speaker 1: back talk about deep steaks.
Speaker 2: And we're back. Uh So, the GOP, the party that
Speaker 2: is America's most outwardly racist party, is suddenly worried that
Speaker 2: their racism maybe alienating voters. According to multiple reports, it
Speaker 2: seems that leaders within the party have become increasingly worried
Speaker 2: that they're reflexive racist rhetoric. I just I just branded
Speaker 2: that that's called alliteration could cost them in the election
Speaker 2: now that Kamala Harris is the presumptive nominee. So last week,
Speaker 2: Politico reported that leading House Republicans had to tell quote
Speaker 2: lawmaker to focus on criticizing Harris's record without reference to
Speaker 2: her race or gender, following a series of comments by
Speaker 2: their members that focused on Harris's race, as well as
Speaker 2: claims she is a quote DEI pick. They also worry
Speaker 2: that Trump and some of his more extreme supporters will
Speaker 2: be unable to refrain from deploying sexist and racially fraught language,
Speaker 2: which they fear will hurt them with crucial voting blocks.
Speaker 2: I feel like many people have decided, but yeah, it
Speaker 2: maybe doesn't help at this point to keep letting people
Speaker 2: know we don't like women of color, women color.
Speaker 6: I think they're also, like the GOP are kind of
Speaker 6: anticipating what a potential debate performance would look like between
Speaker 6: these two because because the optics were bad enough when
Speaker 6: Trump was like looming behind Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 6: like the fucking babaduck, you know, like I said before,
Speaker 6: but debate, Yeah, it's creepy, like he couldn't help himself,
Speaker 6: and I do. It's hilarious. Yeah, I don't think it's
Speaker 6: gonna work out well. If he just he could be
Speaker 6: full pit bull and just attack Biden. And it's not
Speaker 6: the same strategy here, but he.
Speaker 2: Can full pit bull. I thought he was just like
Speaker 2: dollars worldwide. I mean, I know he like Miami, so
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm going full pit Bull and this
Speaker 2: takes off the hair piece and goes full pit bull
Speaker 2: rock even when every state he's gonna power up, Like
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan when he embraced the ball affair, They're.
Speaker 7: Like, what about pitbull summer?
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, Eisenberg. Look when they when the hair mister yeah,
Speaker 2: mister three or five daletel the holiday? And why do I.
Speaker 7: Feel like OP does this every four years where they decide, oh, wait,
Speaker 7: we can't rely on only they got nothing, they only
Speaker 7: they can only rely But remember, like I remember even
Speaker 7: the first time I voted, what was when when Mitt
Speaker 7: Romney ran against Obama? And I remember at that time
Speaker 7: being like, holy shit, did they really just put Mitt
Speaker 7: Romney on Telemundo in brown face like capture the Hispanic vote?
Speaker 7: And they really did do that? And I just feel
Speaker 7: like every four years they have this realization where they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: we can't win if we are alienating voters of colors,
Speaker 7: so we have to pander in some kind of way.
Speaker 2: But right the Democrats are really good at it.
Speaker 5: The Conservatives have had a really big like identity crisis,
Speaker 5: like ever since really ever since Trump like lost in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty or even before that one. Because the whole,
Speaker 5: the whole thing is that like conservative policies, like like
Speaker 5: when you present like an average American with like Okay,
Speaker 5: we're gonna cut social Security and we're gonna like repeal
Speaker 5: like you're not gonna be able to get an abortion
Speaker 5: and gay people can't get married, by and large, those
Speaker 5: are deeply unpopular policies. So the whole like conservative and
Speaker 5: really the whole like fascistic strategy entirely is to like
Speaker 5: blame outliers, you know, blame immigrants, like say like you're
Speaker 5: like you know, be prescriptive about like the things that
Speaker 5: are wrong and then blame like an out group for it.
Speaker 5: So but the thing is like they're victims of their
Speaker 5: own success. Because Trump was like the first person to
Speaker 5: like take that, like like instead of doing dog whistles,
Speaker 5: he used what if he just said that, you know, yeah,
Speaker 5: he would just say like Mexicans are rapists, you know,
Speaker 5: I'm going to do what Muslim band like stuff like that,
Speaker 5: Like that's not a dog whistle at all. So I
Speaker 5: think that like, while Trump has this kind of like
Speaker 5: TV guy charisma that was able to like kind of
Speaker 5: captivate people. Motherfuckers like jd Vance do not. You know,
Speaker 5: they have no risk, no aura, and they can't fucking
Speaker 5: like fashion a message like they talk like fucking podcasters,
Speaker 5: like they talk like in a way that is no,
Speaker 5: not like this, but but you know, no, no, it's true. No,
Speaker 5: I'm just saying like, like they talk like fucking like
Speaker 5: these insular right wing like Twitter people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that like that's all who, that's
Speaker 2: all who they talk to and exchange ideas with ultimately
Speaker 2: at the top of the party. I mean, I think yeah,
Speaker 2: And I think this was always the issue with the
Speaker 2: party following Trump down this path like it worked. It
Speaker 2: may have worked in twenty sixteen to be like, what
Speaker 2: if we really turned it up and see what happens?
Speaker 2: And that did work to an extent, but every they
Speaker 2: failed in pretty much every subsequent race, even for many
Speaker 2: down ballot races from down ballot candidates that wanted to
Speaker 2: like specifically emulate that style. Obviously, many Republicans get voted in,
Speaker 2: but there are a lot of times you see people
Speaker 2: go hard on the Trump shit and then like pretty
Speaker 2: much everyone's turned off and they still haven't quite connected that.
Speaker 2: But this concern obviously also extends to Trump's rhetoric as well.
Speaker 2: One person who was close to the campaign said, many
Speaker 2: others feel that his words are becoming a liability, but
Speaker 2: they have no control over him. This is a quote
Speaker 2: from somebody who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Quote.
Speaker 2: We hope he doesn't act like a crazy, racist and
Speaker 2: sexist person, but we can't control him. There are probably
Speaker 2: dog whistles and racists and sexist tropes he'll stumble into.
Speaker 2: His campaign is going to try to keep him out
Speaker 2: of that rhetoric, but it's going to be difficult because
Speaker 2: that's all he knows. And yeah, yeah, yeah, I hate
Speaker 2: to see it.
Speaker 5: And they're gonna be like, well, actually he meant he
Speaker 5: meant this when he said that, you know, like it
Speaker 5: is so like it feels so much like twenty sixteen again.
Speaker 5: But but it's interesting because like conservatives kind of have
Speaker 5: like the same problem that like Hillary Clinton had, where
Speaker 5: like no one in twenty sixteen, no, like liberals wanted
Speaker 5: to admit that, like Hillary Clinton by and large was
Speaker 5: deeply unpopular, and I mean that's why she lost. And
Speaker 5: I think that conservatives are having like a similar moment
Speaker 5: where they do not realize how unpopular this is. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like because they own Twitter and they all like they've
Speaker 5: like kind of like insulated themselves in this like super
Speaker 5: online bubble where like they're insane rhetoric of being like,
Speaker 5: you know, like everyone's like childless mothers are are worthless.
Speaker 5: There's like people if you don't have baby, Yeah, childless
Speaker 5: women are yeah, yeah, worthless. Yeah, everyone's a gross cat
Speaker 5: lad dud like ahh.
Speaker 2: I'm focused on the women part.
Speaker 6: It's like and on the flip side, Kamala doesn't have
Speaker 6: I mean, she only has a certain amount of baggage
Speaker 6: amongst a specific group of like ultra leftists, you know people,
Speaker 6: and it's I he doesn't have the history, and I
Speaker 6: think it's not Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't know how to attack her. Yeah yeah
Speaker 2: not yet. A war criminal, right right, yeah, the vice president.
Speaker 2: She's a drug war criminal. It's adjacent drug war. Look.
Speaker 2: I mean like, look, as long as we're sending munitions
Speaker 2: to Israel, and you feel like there's a strong case
Speaker 2: to say that you are in that camp.
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, still pretty immovable in that regard. But yeah, I
Speaker 5: don't know we'll say about that. Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 5: think you know, like you know, racism and bigotry like well,
Speaker 5: obviously like prevalent in society, Like they aren't the kinds
Speaker 5: of ideologies that are going to attract new people, right,
Speaker 5: not in the way that the current GOP does it.
Speaker 5: And even the most like basic analysis would show you this.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, like the big reason too a
Speaker 5: lot of these candidates win has a lot to do
Speaker 5: with voter suppression, So that's the other dimension to it.
Speaker 5: But speaking of these weirdos who are just racist and
Speaker 5: fucking bigoted and just have every kind of phobia under
Speaker 5: the sun, they really don't like being the butt of
Speaker 5: the joke. Like you know, there there's a bit of
Speaker 5: political wisdom that shows calling the right weird maybe one
Speaker 5: of the most effective tactics of getting them off message.
Speaker 2: Many conservatives are like right now, they're trying to push
Speaker 2: back on the accurate description of their worldview, and it's
Speaker 2: like clear they don't know what to do, like vivic Ramaswami,
Speaker 2: like Tweety's like it's dumb and juvenile to be calling
Speaker 2: saying they're weird, because this is a presidential election, not
Speaker 2: a high school prom contest, and you're like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: you're trying to what are you trying to appeal to
Speaker 2: within people right now? That this is dumb and juvenile.
Speaker 2: You have people calling some the weirdest fucking insults coming
Speaker 2: from the right, But yes, this is dumb and juvenile
Speaker 2: because it's kind of got you off balance. There is
Speaker 2: this Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Tina Rosenberg, like, in a
Speaker 2: New York Times article about like just observing the Unite
Speaker 2: the Right rally in Charlottesville, wrote that alt right rallies
Speaker 2: have six core goals, And I think this is kind
Speaker 2: of interesting just to kind of keep in mind as
Speaker 2: you look as we look at what is happening with this, like,
Speaker 2: you know, calling the right weird right now. Their six
Speaker 2: goals are quote legitimate, legitimize their views, strengthen their self
Speaker 2: image as part of the downtrodden unite, their squabbling factors,
Speaker 2: attract new people to the movement, control media coverage, and
Speaker 2: feel powerful and heroic. Now, obviously righteous anger is probably
Speaker 2: the first response that most people like arrive at when
Speaker 2: looking at this kind of hateful shit, but like, violent
Speaker 2: clashes typically allow these goals to be achieved. Very quickly
Speaker 2: for like these sort of alt right demonstrations and enable
Speaker 2: their ability again to look like they are being attacked
Speaker 2: and that they are the victims and that they have
Speaker 2: to actually, you know, use a bit of the heroism
Speaker 2: to be able to fight back. Fucking Antifa or whatever
Speaker 2: of the you know, ajor is for them toy like
Speaker 2: they're doing and they're doing.
Speaker 5: This is a classic thing too, is that they're they'll
Speaker 5: they're doing cancel culture, but they're like like they're trying
Speaker 5: to get people like fired for like joking about like
Speaker 5: Trump's ear getting grays like stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're so like it, but I think again, like
Speaker 2: there are a lot of examples where you've seen, like
Speaker 2: there was like a like neo Nazi rally in Montana
Speaker 2: where people just showed up like dressed as clowns and
Speaker 2: are just like being like look at these jokers, and
Speaker 2: then like all right, let's get out of here. This
Speaker 2: is like stupid because what they want is people to
Speaker 2: pull up and scream in their faces. But when you
Speaker 2: pull up and just do the Nelson from the Simpsons
Speaker 2: and hit them with that, they're like what the fuck?
Speaker 2: There was like another example too of like this anti
Speaker 2: racist sort of like sort of fundraising walk in Germany,
Speaker 2: and like a lot of German like far right figures
Speaker 2: wanted to protest, so like they too wanted to be
Speaker 2: part of it, to demonstrate, and the people just like
Speaker 2: ironically clapped for them and they're like, yeah, man, you
Speaker 2: guys are killing it. Wow. And they were suddenly like
Speaker 2: the shit just fizzled out. They're like, man, like they
Speaker 2: were just leaving the route because like this isn't Yeah,
Speaker 2: but the weird description I think is super you know,
Speaker 2: it's on the nose for the moment. And like to
Speaker 2: your point, I think both of you were making earlier.
Speaker 2: They only talk to these like very strange dudes that
Speaker 2: are like in tech, and that's where there's a lot
Speaker 2: of reporting now that you know, like right wing tech
Speaker 2: billionaires have an outsized influence on Donald Trump right now.
Speaker 2: He's like listening, like recently, he's like, I love crypto,
Speaker 2: Like he used to not say that shit. He's like
Speaker 2: cryptos there, blah blah blah, yeah, crypto is. I do
Speaker 2: not think he genuinely under but he did say like
Speaker 2: now we're going to be the crypto capital of the world.
Speaker 2: And you're like, right, because you talk to some people
Speaker 2: and they're like, yeah, protect my money and this is
Speaker 2: what you need to say.
Speaker 7: And you know, Caitlin has her own coin now too.
Speaker 2: Now she's doing now.
Speaker 5: It's there's a It's worth noting that I read this
Speaker 5: morning that the choice for jd Vance was propped, was
Speaker 5: pushed on him by Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and I
Speaker 5: think Donald Trump Junior and the three.
Speaker 2: People and those are all yeah, those are all like gross.
Speaker 5: Insane people, like I mean, yeah, I don't know, like
Speaker 5: with no risk, No, it's I think I think it's
Speaker 5: the best messaging Democrats have had in a long time,
Speaker 5: because it's something that I mean, the Biden era was
Speaker 5: so bad because even though like I think a lot
Speaker 5: of Democratic policies are popular and a lot of like
Speaker 5: Democratic candidates were doing well down ballot, having Joe Biden
Speaker 5: lead the party when he can't speak like is like
Speaker 5: it's a serious like liability. But now, like, yeah, I
Speaker 5: don't know, I think that just being it kind of
Speaker 5: reminds me of when you know, I I know that
Speaker 5: Kendrick certainly won the beef, but when Drake said Metro,
Speaker 5: shut your bitch ass up and just play those drums.
Speaker 5: That is such a funny like dismissive like tactic, like
Speaker 5: just being like you're not even worth discussing, Like it's
Speaker 5: not like these motherfuckers are like like their whole strategy
Speaker 5: is pulling out like fucking like four chan means is
Speaker 5: like four chan is.
Speaker 2: Weird, this ship is not. No one knows what.
Speaker 4: Are you.
Speaker 5: The fact that you have a full like folder of
Speaker 5: wojacks to like be mean to trans people is fucking
Speaker 5: weird man.
Speaker 1: That is that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no other like it's I.
Speaker 7: Mean, the obsession they have with trans people is so weird,
Speaker 7: like the whole yeah, like every trans person is a
Speaker 7: padow now every like it's just like all, yeah, so
Speaker 7: it's giving obsessive.
Speaker 5: It's like what And I I think I think being
Speaker 5: dismissive is such a good strate because it's not worth
Speaker 5: engaging with, Like it's not worth having ideological argument like
Speaker 5: having like ideological arguments on like like should trans people exist,
Speaker 5: like should women be like mandatory to get pregnant?
Speaker 2: Like this is these are stupid, insane ideas, and.
Speaker 5: It's like it's easier to just be like no, that's weird, dude,
Speaker 5: that's fucked up and yeah, just being like bro, what yeah,
Speaker 5: I think trying to actual debate, yes, exactly debating these
Speaker 5: things legitimizes it in a way that's not worth doing.
Speaker 2: Because you again, like I think I was I may
Speaker 2: have said it yesterday. Like when especially when there's like
Speaker 2: an urge to point out the hypocrisy of them too,
Speaker 2: it's like that's pointless. It's it really is pointless, and
Speaker 2: play those negate the context that they're trying to like
Speaker 2: bring you into this debate, like you know, like this
Speaker 2: is this is the framing that we want to do
Speaker 2: and just be like bro, fuck this framing completely and
Speaker 2: like you're fucking weird dude, shut up, Yeah, because I
Speaker 2: think you know, the that tactic again, they're still trying
Speaker 2: to figure out what to do. They're only demonstrating even
Speaker 2: further that this is an accurate assessment, and yeah, the weirdness.
Speaker 2: It's hard to beat those.
Speaker 5: It's hard to beat those allegations because like the other
Speaker 5: side is when they're when you know, a lot of
Speaker 5: the time the Democrats are spending.
Speaker 2: Time like this is scary stuff, man, this is scary.
Speaker 2: They like that they want people to be like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, they're scary. Yeah, so then when you see
Speaker 2: a Maga hat.
Speaker 7: You're like, ooh, yeah, that person's like you look like
Speaker 7: a clown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then now you're like, bro, you weird?
Speaker 1: Bro? What Yeah?
Speaker 2: Have you guys seen that guy on Twitter that like
Speaker 2: goes around like wearing a Maga hot and.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah yeah yea, and no one cares, like no
Speaker 5: one pays attention to him at all, Like yeah, because.
Speaker 7: They want that beef when they go out. They want
Speaker 7: they want they want confrontation. Yeah, it's again, it's twenty sixteen,
Speaker 7: twenty fifteen ships.
Speaker 2: It's like trying to like trigger people.
Speaker 5: It's like and yeah, it's like, I mean, we lived
Speaker 5: through four years of Trump, like we we were not
Speaker 5: that triggered anymore. Yeah, come calloused? Yeah yeah sure, I
Speaker 5: don't know. I've I've enjoyed. I enjoyed this topic a lot,
Speaker 5: Like I was glad that this was like not something
Speaker 5: y'all discussed already, because like we I.
Speaker 2: Mean, I think it's some we've been talking about it,
Speaker 2: but I think because it's interesting to see, like, Okay,
Speaker 2: we're doing something. There's like it's something different now to
Speaker 2: to sort of you know, get the conversation moving in
Speaker 2: a different direction rather than again going like because the
Speaker 2: policies are they're not even real policies, Like you're talking
Speaker 2: about upbending people's ability to be free or be themselves
Speaker 2: and not have that be attached to some kind of
Speaker 2: societal punishment. And I think by just obviously addressing the
Speaker 2: fucked up nature of that is good to message, but
Speaker 2: then to zoom out and be like, yeah, because they're
Speaker 2: weird and they want to be all up in your
Speaker 2: business when they need to be mining their own shit,
Speaker 2: and this is what they're trying to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I've brought this up a few times,
Speaker 5: so yeah, I think that like like owning Twitter and
Speaker 5: making it like a super like right wing platform has
Speaker 5: really like put them I think you use the word
Speaker 5: echo chamber like I'm gonna use again, Like it's really
Speaker 5: like made them like gass each other up in a
Speaker 5: way that's like, you know, most people don't use Twitter,
Speaker 5: like most people, and also like to the people that
Speaker 5: still do, like there's a normal people. It's really damning
Speaker 5: that anytime you see like conservatives like defending like jd
Speaker 5: Vance in the immediate comments under it, it's like far
Speaker 5: further right conservatives being like, well he has an Indian
Speaker 5: wife and race mixing is bad, and it's like, y'all
Speaker 5: are fucking crazy, right, there's nobody, he said, and obviously
Speaker 5: she's not white, is said, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's oh my god.
Speaker 5: It's so like because he's internet brained too, like he's
Speaker 5: been on fucking Amy Teresa's podcast.
Speaker 2: No one should know who that is, Like that's good,
Speaker 2: you shouldn't.
Speaker 5: She's nobody, but like she's kind of like a red
Speaker 5: Scare type but it doesn't matter, Like yeah, like that's
Speaker 5: the kind of people that these people like are like
Speaker 5: capitulating towards. And it's like like if you look at
Speaker 5: who jd Vance follows on Twitter, it's like insane. It's
Speaker 5: like he follows like Ben Shapiro, Ted Cruz, and then
Speaker 5: like a guy that's named like Hitler Groyper fourteen eighty eight,
Speaker 5: whoa like the ironic Groyper. Like yeah, like it's it's
Speaker 5: so they're on appeal.
Speaker 6: All of these people are too. I mean, it's really
Speaker 6: really no surprise that they don't respect women. They are
Speaker 6: too afraid to defend their own partners. It's creat like
Speaker 6: Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, jd Vance, They're they're all, they've
Speaker 6: all had shots taken at their wife and they are
Speaker 6: just too afraid to sit in the friends there. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and then and then they call everyone else cus it's crazy,
Speaker 6: it is, right. Yeah, again, that's a very twenty sixteen term,
Speaker 6: like like I feel like that died down.
Speaker 2: We're back, baby, We're back, and time traveling again. That
Speaker 2: is a weird term, Like that's a sexual like porn term. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it comes from people. It's like my worldview is
Speaker 2: derived from tropes I'm seeing in the pornography. I'm consumed, right, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: what about power? What's that? I know videos where a
Speaker 2: guy sits in a chair while his wife has intercourse
Speaker 2: with another guy and he's okay, we just call that
Speaker 2: lack of character and being a shitty partner. I don't
Speaker 2: know what a being a partner is, So I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna have to relate it to the porn I watch
Speaker 2: right now. You talking about my wife? Oh you mean
Speaker 2: the amateur brunette milk. It's like, yeah, esus, Oh you
Speaker 2: mean my step mom.
Speaker 5: I see a lot of parallels with on jd Vance
Speaker 5: and Rondasantus as well. Yeah, like they're both like people
Speaker 5: that got like gassed up in their own like little bubble.
Speaker 5: But now that they're like exposed to like a big stage,
Speaker 5: like most people are like, what, who the fuck is
Speaker 5: this guy?
Speaker 7: And look how.
Speaker 2: Fragile like fragile DeSantis' masculinity with is weird lifted up
Speaker 2: boots and shit, like always just trying to project this
Speaker 2: like masculine thing. He wasn't just it just looks. The
Speaker 2: difference is like if he just was like embraced it,
Speaker 2: I don't think people would notice, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: But it's they it's the attempt to try and like
Speaker 2: shed who you actually are that becomes really like it's
Speaker 2: really obvious when people are fronting like that, and even
Speaker 2: when they're trying to do like the like culture warshit,
Speaker 2: it just like it comes off as inauthentic and obviously
Speaker 2: like what they're saying is repulsive. But to add to
Speaker 2: that the insincerity of you're like what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Like for what what are you doing?
Speaker 1: This war?
Speaker 5: Carmen, did you see the thing where JD Van said
Speaker 5: something about like he wrote something years ago where he's
Speaker 5: like and that was the most like I ever felt
Speaker 5: like a woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to find it. It's pretty funny. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he's had.
Speaker 7: Something like a hemorrhoid surgery or something.
Speaker 2: Is it real? I'm seeing that he's wearing a Julie
Speaker 2: mask shirt. It was said, it's a blog post from
Speaker 2: two thousand and five, and again, this is anything about
Speaker 2: jd Vance on Twitter. I'm gonna take with a grain
Speaker 2: of salt, but I'm also gonna take with a grain
Speaker 2: of I want to believe it, so it says it
Speaker 2: tells him a two thousand and five of an emotional
Speaker 2: day where he quote felt more like a female than
Speaker 2: I ever have or will, and explains he can't watch
Speaker 2: Zach Braff's Garden State because because New Jersey's landscape is
Speaker 2: so much like Ohio's, the music is so relevant to
Speaker 2: my life right now. I'm sorry, let go by frou frou.
Speaker 2: That's so funny that like my life right now.
Speaker 5: Garden State is like his. I saw the TV glow,
Speaker 5: he heard new slang. I was like, man, I should
Speaker 5: try on women's clothes. I work with Zach Braft. I
Speaker 5: should I should ask him how he feels.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah you should. Yeah, I should make get get
Speaker 2: us get his thoughts on that. Yeah, I was ever
Speaker 2: felt like a female than I ever will, because I
Speaker 2: watched Gardens again that JD. You're not tough man. Just
Speaker 2: embrace whoever you are, because whatever this is, ain't it?
Speaker 2: All right? Let's take another break. We'll be right back
Speaker 2: and we do.
Speaker 10: Have to talk about Lady Hawk of Tua the Kingdom
Speaker 10: of Tua after this, and we're back on air.
Speaker 1: Snowflake, Ship Cat, you have seen some ship as mentioned
Speaker 1: up top. You were on the night shift for Media Matters,
Speaker 1: mainlining Fox for hours at a time. You know things
Speaker 1: about these hosts and their own particular brand of weirdness.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to take a moment because, like
Speaker 1: I was just reading an interview with you where you
Speaker 1: talked about Sean Hannity and specifically Pain Day, and I
Speaker 1: wanted to see, like if you could talk about pain
Speaker 1: Day and also talk about like anything else that has
Speaker 1: like come across your radar with regards to some of
Speaker 1: these names that people who don't watch Fox.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like what this question makes me so happy because
Speaker 4: there's so much more in my brain.
Speaker 2: Yeah it.
Speaker 4: Sean Hannity is a martial artist. Specifically, it's an eclectic
Speaker 4: blend of martial arts. He talks about it a lot
Speaker 4: on his radio show. Yeah, eclectic blended martial arts. One
Speaker 4: time he had Connor McGregor on his show and he
Speaker 4: kept like mentioning his dojo and kept being like, like,
Speaker 4: kept hinting at it, and I guess he was hoping
Speaker 4: that McGregor would be like, oh, you want to do
Speaker 4: like a tussle or something.
Speaker 1: He never did.
Speaker 4: The entire time. Gregor was just like, I but pain
Speaker 4: Day is I believe it's once a month and essentially
Speaker 4: Sean Handy just gets the ship beaten out of him.
Speaker 4: Say okay, and uh, yep, that's pain Day. I think
Speaker 4: I think it's a great concept. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he
Speaker 4: thoughts about it a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, help helps him stay sharp. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think more workout routines should have should involve one
Speaker 1: day where Sean Handedy gets the ship beaten.
Speaker 4: Now every American does this, Sean Handy would.
Speaker 2: And also, hey, Sean, you want to live in the
Speaker 2: world where you don't have to call it pain Day
Speaker 2: and you can just let your kinks, you know, be
Speaker 2: out there. You know what I mean? If that's what
Speaker 2: you want once a month, Okay.
Speaker 1: It's not a blend of krav tempo karate jitsu speech
Speaker 1: every time when he enters the dungeon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like just a Who's just like, I see what
Speaker 2: I'm doing is it's not weird. It's an eclectic blend
Speaker 2: of manly stuff. And you know, getting my sense is,
Speaker 2: you know, sweat to drip in my mouth and you're like,
Speaker 2: what sir, So that's what it's okay, interesting piece of
Speaker 2: weird lower whatever. What other weirdo lore can you you
Speaker 2: bless us with about some of them?
Speaker 4: Can I tell you all about Glenn Beck's weird little
Speaker 4: girls shoes in a glass box?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: This was like in twenty twenty one when I was
Speaker 4: just like clipping random stuff and it always stuck in
Speaker 4: my head. Glenn Beck was talking about He came on
Speaker 4: The Tucker's Show to talk about how how you know
Speaker 4: awful the big tech is big tech censorship and somehow
Speaker 4: compared that to internment camps of the Japanese during World
Speaker 4: War Two here in the US. And I love that
Speaker 4: for some reason, I can pull up a picture of
Speaker 4: this for y'all.
Speaker 7: He was like, I have.
Speaker 4: This pair of shoes and he had them in a
Speaker 4: little glass box. Here we go. I am sending this
Speaker 4: in the zoom chat. He had them in a little
Speaker 4: glass box and they're from a little girl that was
Speaker 4: in a Japanese internment camp, and then he compared that
Speaker 4: to big tech censorship. I have no way to explain
Speaker 4: what was going on in his head. It is like
Speaker 4: it's exactly as.
Speaker 2: I explained, right, those are those shoes are called get that.
Speaker 2: I'm Japanese, so like those shoes specifically like those yo,
Speaker 2: that is they're not just shoes like these if you're Japanese,
Speaker 2: like you'll look at that shit and like, yo, what
Speaker 2: the fuck? And that's like his keepsake from the internment,
Speaker 2: Like what what did he say? What's his connection to it? Like,
Speaker 2: aside from why he wants to have those pairs of shoes, I.
Speaker 4: Think he just bought it. I think he was like,
Speaker 4: this is a simple I have no fucking idea. But
Speaker 4: he keeps them in a glass box in his home
Speaker 4: and brought them on national television.
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a collector of memorabilia of small
Speaker 1: girls in pain. Yeah, going through acting that definitely is
Speaker 1: like a pain?
Speaker 2: Is the point type keeps sake because you're like, look,
Speaker 2: that was last time we had it together enough to
Speaker 2: interurn our own fucking people like that, you know, aside
Speaker 2: from the Carsonal State but that.
Speaker 4: But I mean, like for Glenn Beck, he's more like, God,
Speaker 4: I wish we could do this again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, right right, exactly right. It's just like Twitter.
Speaker 2: It's just like Jack Dorsey. It's the same thing, right
Speaker 2: right right, Yeah, to remind him, Glenn Beck, sir.
Speaker 4: So that's That's something I think about a lot, and
Speaker 4: I think more people should know about. Yeah, that's Laura
Speaker 4: Ingram has this guy, Raymond Royo, who's a Fox contributor
Speaker 4: on like almost every day, and they gossip and it's fascinating.
Speaker 4: It's a fascinating dynamic. They become so bitchy and petty
Speaker 4: with each other, and I just I really want to
Speaker 4: hear their conversations off air, to be totally honest, there
Speaker 4: are so many guests, so many guests. I have actually
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of post it notes on my wall
Speaker 4: right here of just like videos that I need to
Speaker 4: do at some point. And one is disappointing your favorite
Speaker 4: actor when you were a kid is now a regular
Speaker 4: Fox News guest. And then the County base Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like one of my favorite people from the
Speaker 2: real world or was it Rachel Duffy Campos.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, Rachel Campbell Duffy.
Speaker 2: I was like, I was rooting for you on the
Speaker 2: Real World.
Speaker 4: It was MTV to Fox News Pipeline because her husband
Speaker 4: was also on the Real World on a different season.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, wait, can I tell y'all one more really
Speaker 4: racist thing that Jesse Waters did this year, because like
Speaker 4: it's just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, let's please throw another one on the pile
Speaker 2: of racist Jesse Waters stuff that's happened this year.
Speaker 4: So they were talking on Waters Show about black voters
Speaker 4: and a possible menthol Ban and I can't find the
Speaker 4: exact clip, but I remember right now about a menthol
Speaker 4: Ban and then they had Tyris on. Tyris was on
Speaker 4: there to promote his book. You could tell they did
Speaker 4: not tell him anything about the topic. And so he
Speaker 4: comes on and Tyris, for the record, for anyone that
Speaker 4: doesn't know, is half black. And Jesse goes, so, what
Speaker 4: do you think about a menthol Ban And Tyre's was like, well,
Speaker 4: I don't smoke menthols, A lot of people don't smoke
Speaker 4: in general, and wow. He then he mentioned at some
Speaker 4: point he was like, and you know, I'm half white
Speaker 4: or something and Jesse went, wait, you're half white? Like
Speaker 4: on air, I thought this man, like this professional wrestler
Speaker 4: was about to deck him. It was the funniest shit. Wow,
Speaker 4: just completely unprepared for this segment, goes all in, Like
Speaker 4: Jesse is also unprepared for his own segment that he
Speaker 4: planned that he was ready war.
Speaker 2: God, what a fucking loser. You're by racial? What the
Speaker 2: fuck's bros?
Speaker 4: Like a guest on Gutfeld. Look, I can't defend him
Speaker 4: too much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, like Tyros, his takes are all so
Speaker 2: and he's always deployed to be like, hey, give us
Speaker 2: racist cover right by it, like if can you please
Speaker 2: do that?
Speaker 5: Because obviously this is a time hon or tradition for
Speaker 5: political or fiery rhetoric.
Speaker 2: But like the other thing though, too is just thinking
Speaker 2: about like how getting caught up in this machine completely
Speaker 2: like fucks your head up. Like you know, you mentioned
Speaker 2: how jd Vance was basically sort of shaped in the
Speaker 2: fires of Tucker Carlson's show and had some record inordinate
Speaker 2: amount of appearances prior to him becoming a Senate candidate.
Speaker 2: And I feel like jd Vance is one of these,
Speaker 2: like truly like machiavellian type characters that is, like willing
Speaker 2: to sell out his own ideolog ideological beliefs, like in
Speaker 2: service of climbing the power louder. And it is just
Speaker 2: wild to see where he's at now because so many people,
Speaker 2: so many white supremacists on the right, have taken issue
Speaker 2: with the fact that his wife is a brown female.
Speaker 2: That like, it's wild to see this like clip of
Speaker 2: him on Megan Kelly's show and kind of talking about
Speaker 2: the controversy around it, but also like half a g
Speaker 2: I just have to play this because this shows how
Speaker 2: you will be chewed up and spit out by like
Speaker 2: right wing talking points so the like to the point
Speaker 2: that you have no respect for your own wife and
Speaker 2: mother of your children. Yeah, right, exactly. This is JD.
Speaker 2: Van's on Magan kelly show time. I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe she's brown. This is listen to this. Look. I
Speaker 2: love my wife so much. I love her because she's
Speaker 2: who she is. Obviously she's not a white person. And
Speaker 2: we've been a cute attacked by some white supremacists over that.
Speaker 2: But I just I love usha. She's such a good mom.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I love her. It's not been.
Speaker 9: Attacked well sure, but it's not about saying like, yeah,
Speaker 9: we were attacked by some white supremacists and you know
Speaker 9: he could have if like any reasonable person would say,
Speaker 9: and they're really wrong.
Speaker 2: This is a human being, has nothing to do with
Speaker 2: anybody goes. But you know, she's the like it's almost like, well,
Speaker 2: what do you want me to do? You know, she's
Speaker 2: like a good wife, so you know, despite that, you
Speaker 2: know I love her, but just comes off so fucking again,
Speaker 2: just weird. It's like you a fucking shitty husband and
Speaker 2: you look look so fucking dumb again because you have
Speaker 2: to you know, be a collection of the right values
Speaker 2: to ascend in the party, and then you end up
Speaker 2: just like not even knowing who the fuck you are anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's not qualified, you know, I mean the
Speaker 4: only reason, like you said, you know, Fox made him
Speaker 4: a senate candidate. Like at one point they had him
Speaker 4: on Outnumber, the show where they have one man and
Speaker 4: then a bunch of women in short skirts next to him. Right,
Speaker 4: he was like one of their hosts when he was
Speaker 4: running for Senate, So he just had like an hour
Speaker 4: of uninterrupted airtime, right, And I used to think, I
Speaker 4: was like, wow, he's the only successful Fox candidate because
Speaker 4: you had you know, doctor Oz, You've had all these
Speaker 4: candidates in the last few years that are like Hanndy's
Speaker 4: friends and they're not actually like good at their job
Speaker 4: and they keep getting clobbered and it's very funny. But
Speaker 4: Jade Vance slipped through, and now it's like, oh no,
Speaker 4: he was so unprepared for this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean the reason that so many
Speaker 1: of them were losing is the exact thing we're talking
Speaker 1: about right now, is they so many of these like
Speaker 1: Trump Fox candidates are weird and people were like, I
Speaker 1: don't like, none of this really resonates with me, and
Speaker 1: then the one who slipped through, they're like more of this, Well, welcome,
Speaker 1: meet your new VP. And right now, yeah, it has
Speaker 1: given the Democrats something to run with. It feels like
Speaker 1: you've referenced Gutfeld a couple of times. I just have
Speaker 1: you So you have watched Gutfeld our obsession.
Speaker 4: Oh, I have watched so much Gutfeld. I have watched
Speaker 4: possibly months of Gutfeld.
Speaker 2: More Gutfeld than even Gutfeld has seen.
Speaker 4: I certainly put more effort into any of my bits
Speaker 4: than Gutfeld has done for his entire life. Sorry, continue mean,
Speaker 4: it's just.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were talking about like it seems like they're
Speaker 1: just it's the same conservative comedy special over and over
Speaker 1: like the like it's just the same handful of jokes,
Speaker 1: Like what does the writer's room look like for Gutfeld?
Speaker 1: Like besides non union?
Speaker 2: Like what is non union?
Speaker 4: You need a rhyming dictionary. I don't know if you
Speaker 4: all have seen a two minute cut of Gutfeld just rhyming.
Speaker 4: This is him in one week. He's the worst man
Speaker 4: in the world, just write just like just like a
Speaker 4: terrible a terrible comedian. It makes me so mad. He's
Speaker 4: not a comedian. They were like, this is the closest
Speaker 4: thing we have, Yeah, his writer's room. It's just essentially
Speaker 4: saying shit in like a weird cadence. It's the amount
Speaker 4: that he rhymes, I think is what really gets to me,
Speaker 4: because it's unnecessary. I'm sending a link here. Yeah, so
Speaker 4: this is all I watched Gutfeld for, Like I you know,
Speaker 4: watched it in the background that I switched with a
Speaker 4: person that watched it like intently every night for a
Speaker 4: whole week. This is every rhyme he did during his
Speaker 4: late night show for one week. It's just one week.
Speaker 2: This is what it's being. One week of me Ryman,
Speaker 2: here we go. Birds have them stumped, so they blame
Speaker 2: it on Trump. Biden gives himself.
Speaker 11: A pass for the cost of food, milk, and gas.
Speaker 1: Step outside of you dare, there's turds in the air.
Speaker 11: Who should we be thanking for journalism? Tanking leap and
Speaker 11: announce his deep When will Trump make a peep about
Speaker 11: his choice for beep? The media cries about their demise
Speaker 11: for tabloid fodder. She's a keeper, But what if Taylor's
Speaker 11: stories went much deeper? Will politicians live forever thanks to
Speaker 11: a brain chip? Endeavor is com diapers, canes and chips
Speaker 11: in their brains.
Speaker 2: Elon enters your mind with a chip he designed.
Speaker 1: We of the way.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is one week's one week's worth
Speaker 2: of shows.
Speaker 4: What a it's so And that's not counting the ones
Speaker 4: on the five because he also rhymes on the five
Speaker 4: And some will say, well, those are just his transitions
Speaker 4: between segments, and to that, I would say, that's a
Speaker 4: shitty transition between segments. Also, it's not just his transitions
Speaker 4: between segments. There are plenty of rhymes within the segments.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and that's not right.
Speaker 4: That's not a joke. That's two words, that sounds similar.
Speaker 4: It's not a joke. And I'm not triggered. It's just shitty.
Speaker 1: It sucks, It really does suck. Oh man, this is
Speaker 1: very bad. I have been losing sleep ever since I
Speaker 1: heard about Gutfeld and how the right is getting funny
Speaker 1: and the left is worried.
Speaker 2: But this is good news.
Speaker 4: He's the king of late night and they are at
Speaker 4: seven pm on the West coast, right.
Speaker 2: Right, right, truly truly dominating the fucking charts.
Speaker 1: Dominating the charts. The air is full of charts.
Speaker 4: Wow, I was gonna hear one. I want to hear
Speaker 4: your best, gut Oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, here's the thing. We've got a presidential pick named
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. She'll leave the nation embarrassed.
Speaker 4: He's gonna steal that one in the Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, justin can we edit that out?
Speaker 1: That would Actually I'm going to take that one of
Speaker 1: her campaign.
Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna take that one.
Speaker 4: No one can defeat Gutfeld.
Speaker 2: No one, no one, exactly. I have to use his
Speaker 2: own weapons against him, exactly to bring him down.
Speaker 4: The only good thing Bill Maher has ever done is
Speaker 4: go on Gutfeld show and make him look stupid. The
Speaker 4: only good thing Bill mar has ever done. Oh wow, yeah,
Speaker 4: because because he went on and Gutfeld is like, see,
Speaker 4: we have so many points of view, and Bill Maher
Speaker 4: was like, this is the only time that you've ever
Speaker 4: had someone that's like a liberal and I'm doing air
Speaker 4: quotes exactly.
Speaker 2: We might be equally islamophobic. Actually we might have overlapt
Speaker 2: in that sense.
Speaker 4: Well, I kept trying to be like, see, we're like besties,
Speaker 4: We're like best friends, and Bill Maher was just like, Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm here about my book, which is.
Speaker 2: So funny too because like even in comedy, you see,
Speaker 2: like some of the people that go on Bill Maher's
Speaker 2: little like you know, would basement podcast that he does,
Speaker 2: and like half the time they're like dude, what I know?
Speaker 2: So good?
