Speaker 1: overrated underrae? Yeah, let's get into it. What is your overrated?
Speaker 1: My overrated this weekend? Uh?
Speaker 3: This reality that I'm experiencing is Octoberfest celebrations in La
Speaker 3: So I went to.
Speaker 2: I've been to an october Fest.
Speaker 3: I've not been to like the one like legit German Octoberfest,
Speaker 3: but I've been to one that felt like it where
Speaker 3: it felt like a faithful recreation of like a German
Speaker 3: beer festival, where like it was like very fun and
Speaker 3: like raucous and shit. And I was like, Okay, maybe
Speaker 3: we'll see like what this like local octoberfest thing was
Speaker 3: that I went to. And ah, man, it was like
Speaker 3: an excuse for like white supremacists like all where they're like,
Speaker 3: let's go dude, I saw so much.
Speaker 1: Let's go somebody, Let's go.
Speaker 3: Brandon like the Blue Line, like you know, hyper pro
Speaker 3: cop shit like Pinochet thrown out of like helicopter, kind
Speaker 3: of like Propagate like Wodchin.
Speaker 1: Like all, if.
Speaker 3: You're like terminally online like some of us are, and
Speaker 3: you you're kind of familiar with the semiotics of like
Speaker 3: the far right, your start.
Speaker 2: To be like what the fuck is this place?
Speaker 3: And it was like wold, dude, everyone, So again I'm like,
Speaker 3: maybe it's authentic.
Speaker 1: Mother. You know what's also funny, everybody's thinking bud light yea.
Speaker 3: They were like they had beer tents and there's like
Speaker 3: only one place you could get like German beer, so
Speaker 3: like they weren't even like honoring the promise of like
Speaker 3: German anything.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: And then every vendor had the same tired ass food,
Speaker 3: which is a dry ass pretzel or like basically what
Speaker 3: I suspected were like Johnsonville broughtwursts that you get it's
Speaker 3: like Froger right, and being like, hey, you wanted the
Speaker 3: yellowy backing and yeah, yeah, like and then I was like, wait,
Speaker 3: this one's Italian, dude. I think once you guys messed
Speaker 3: up and it snuck a package of Italian into this one.
Speaker 2: But it was just kind of like a weird just
Speaker 2: had a weird.
Speaker 3: Energy to it, like it it wasn't Yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: know what the fuck. I don't know what the fuck
Speaker 3: I was expecting, but it was a very very interesting
Speaker 3: time with very little good food.
Speaker 2: And I was like, at the at the very least,
Speaker 2: like if I go to like.
Speaker 3: A you know, Italian street festival, you're like, you're eat
Speaker 3: you eat, yeah, But this German one, it was just
Speaker 3: cops and Johnsonville broughts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild that they're not able to quit budd
Speaker 1: Light that they're not like that seems like like does
Speaker 1: bud Light taste different to people than Miller Light or
Speaker 1: the other beers that are like water mostly water flavored.
Speaker 1: I should have asked if I'm like, yo, is this
Speaker 1: like like McDonald's sprite for cops?
Speaker 2: You know, like you're like, man, just bud Light out
Speaker 2: the tap.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: And I just like it was just so funny to
Speaker 3: have a thing like hitch hammer you over the head
Speaker 3: with like the German Experience or whatever and it be
Speaker 3: just like this very it was basically it's a carnival with.
Speaker 1: Like sub Epcot level German Oh.
Speaker 3: Not even don't even you know, Okay, I've never even
Speaker 3: been to Epcot, but I've seen enough Disney Channel to
Speaker 3: know how magical Epcot is.
Speaker 2: It wasn't this.
Speaker 1: It wasn't this.
Speaker 3: It was like it was bud Light and a couple
Speaker 3: people in later hosen or like wearing a dirndal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. Like I went to October like Cincinnati
Speaker 1: and southern Ohio has a large German population and they
Speaker 1: goff for october Fest. But I am curious, like that,
Speaker 1: what whether though, like as America kind of slides towards fascism,
Speaker 1: if if October fests like take on a different meaning
Speaker 1: where they can remember, yeah remember the good old days. Man,
Speaker 1: it was a kind.
Speaker 3: Of like hey German pride, huh, Like I some people
Speaker 3: had that energy. Yeah, but yeah again, I think it's
Speaker 3: like to your point, I think it's like anything right, Like, uh,
Speaker 3: like a Korean street festival will go will be fucking
Speaker 3: absolutely lit in La because we have like the biggest
Speaker 3: Korea town in the country versus like what that might
Speaker 3: be in another place. Was like maybe yeah, yeah, maybe
Speaker 3: not so I'm sure, like you know, Zegang, let me know,
Speaker 3: like if you have a like a lit October fest
Speaker 3: that doesn't feel like the third and a half Reich.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or if it does, if you have a lit
Speaker 1: one and it's just like even more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's so right. Yeah right, it's like three
Speaker 3: k's in October.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My my over is bugs. Bugs, but these things
Speaker 1: out of here. Yeah. There's that TikTok video where a
Speaker 1: guy celebrates like that crispness in the air that comes
Speaker 1: that fall that sends quote bugs back to the hell
Speaker 1: where they belong, and he's just like yeah, like he
Speaker 1: made it up. But I enjoy I enjoyed it. That
Speaker 1: That is kind of how a part of my brain
Speaker 1: felt every fall when I was growing up on the
Speaker 1: East Coast orally in a place with seasons, where it
Speaker 1: was just like ah, yes and there they go.
Speaker 3: All we can pray for is it gets cold enough
Speaker 3: that the mosquitoes fucking subside. That's really like the one
Speaker 3: thing I'm looking forward to with potentially the fucking temperatures
Speaker 3: dipping below eighty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we had a hard time.
Speaker 1: We had a camping weekend, like I mentioned, for my kids' school,
Speaker 1: and there was like some cycle of hot cold that
Speaker 1: like hatched a bunch of winged insects that were so
Speaker 1: horny for my eyes and mouth and ears, like just
Speaker 1: they wanted to get into every hole of my head
Speaker 1: that didn't have something covering it.
Speaker 2: Jesus, So were you just wearing like a ski mask
Speaker 2: to try to.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't pack a ski mask nor.
Speaker 3: You know, always pack a scheme. Your dad taught you
Speaker 3: that's why you always pack a ski mask.
Speaker 1: But like everyone was walking around with their head just
Speaker 1: being trailed by like a comet taiale of ten to
Speaker 1: twenty flies and then you yeahing them away swatting them
Speaker 1: away as they walk. Yeah. I asked the guy at
Speaker 1: the front desk, like if he had any tips or like,
Speaker 1: you know, and he was just like, you know, I
Speaker 1: live in the hills. I get a lot of them.
Speaker 1: You just kind of become one with the bugs, like
Speaker 1: I don't even really notice them anymore. And he had
Speaker 1: like bugs swarming around his head. His entire face was
Speaker 1: made of moving bugs. Yeah, it was like that nightmare
Speaker 1: before Christmas.
Speaker 3: Guy.
Speaker 1: Once you took this soidey, you are right, it made
Speaker 1: me feel like a failure because like because I wasn't
Speaker 1: able to defeat them with just like sheer zen Buddhism
Speaker 1: and just like, ah, they will not hurt me. But
Speaker 1: like like yeah, that's also exactly what the bugs would
Speaker 1: say if they had like broken into someone's brain like
Speaker 1: they seemed to be trying to do with me, and
Speaker 1: were like piloting them around, they would be like, no,
Speaker 1: you just must it's still let them overtake you. It's jack.
Speaker 3: It's forty eight thousand bugs in the shape of a
Speaker 3: guy wearing clothes.
Speaker 1: For sure. I had the thought at one point that
Speaker 1: I was gonna wrap my head in toilet paper, like
Speaker 1: I didn't seriously consider it, but I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: going to go full invisible man on this, like that's
Speaker 1: that is an option that has popped into my head
Speaker 1: at this point.
Speaker 2: So it oh, so it was really okay, okay, well,
Speaker 2: you know it is. That's what happens sometimes.
Speaker 3: I remember when I was like in Africa, I had
Speaker 3: a similar situation because like Africa is just teeming with
Speaker 3: life like everywhere, like from the plants that grow to
Speaker 3: like the fact that there are bugs everywhere, And after
Speaker 3: a week, I did become one with.
Speaker 2: The bugs, like they just Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 3: I think it's truly like this thing where your sense
Speaker 3: is just dull to it where you're like, dude, you're
Speaker 3: not going to fucking make it if you're like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: just be like they're gonna fucking And then in a way,
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was zen or just from
Speaker 3: just being ground down the bugs, but.
Speaker 1: Just like turn a week, brain figures out how to
Speaker 1: turn that thing off. Yeah, whatever that is. It was
Speaker 1: like inherently just like ah yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly to keep my ear where somehow, like I
Speaker 3: think my ear either repelled the bugs or killed them.
Speaker 2: I don't know what was going on.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, you just become like a elephant or
Speaker 1: like a horse, just like kind of lazily swatting at
Speaker 1: the bugs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, every now and then, but like, yeah, sure a
Speaker 3: fly is gonna crawl on your fucking head.
Speaker 1: And then it'll go, you know, it'll land on your
Speaker 1: eyeball and crawl around there.
Speaker 3: For lay some eggs, and I will faithfully take care
Speaker 3: of the larvae.
Speaker 1: Just become one with them. Let them take over. That's
Speaker 1: coming out of your eye. Let's just fly larva. Sorry,
Speaker 1: what's what's the thing is underrated?
Speaker 3: Underrated, So the ability of children's sports to make me
Speaker 3: into an asshole. I saw my nephew play Little League
Speaker 3: over the weekend and it was a close game, but
Speaker 3: I found myself fucking like wanting to talk shit to
Speaker 3: the batters that he was facing on the mound like
Speaker 3: he was pitching. And I was like, okay, full disclosure,
Speaker 3: these kids are the oldest ten years old. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: ten year old baseball, which isn't baseball. It's mostly called
Speaker 3: like weaponizing your ability to predict like a fielding error,
Speaker 3: to load the bases and steal bay. That's pretty much
Speaker 3: all it is at that level. It's always just about
Speaker 3: like yep, go steal second, yeah, the catcher drop.
Speaker 1: You could just become completely unstoppable if you bunted every
Speaker 1: time because nobody can field whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Oh And like I don't know if there's just something
Speaker 3: for me like about sports, where like it just gives
Speaker 3: me a reason to act like the stakes are so fucking.
Speaker 2: Real and high.
Speaker 3: And I obviously, I mean like I'm not yelling at
Speaker 3: ten year old kids, Like I kept my mouth shut. Obviously,
Speaker 3: it was just like you know, being cheerful and supportive.
Speaker 3: But like there would be times like it would be
Speaker 3: a full count, and in my mind, I was saying,
Speaker 3: like shit in my head, like I wanted to be like, hey.
Speaker 1: This kid scared together. Man, he ain't serious, he ain't serious.
Speaker 1: You don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 3: Just get it to the catcher He'll be shuffling back
Speaker 3: to the dugout Like That's like it reminded me of
Speaker 3: being in high school again, when like you could talk
Speaker 3: fucking cash it like at his sports, like at an event,
Speaker 3: and that was like the fun of it. And and
Speaker 3: I realized I needed to just adjust my expectations. But
Speaker 3: there were they're also like these parents they're like a
Speaker 3: little too critical of their kids, like.
Speaker 2: Oh, what's he do He's got his arms crossed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like and like the pictures like about to
Speaker 3: throw and yeah, I guess he could like he's on
Speaker 3: third if his arms are crossing, whatever, who gives a shit.
Speaker 3: But then I just realized, I'm like, I was like
Speaker 3: just I was becoming like one of those assholes who
Speaker 3: isn't merely there to like support a loved one, like
Speaker 3: you know, as they do something they enjoyed, but like
Speaker 3: becoming one of these people who's like having their ego
Speaker 3: live vicariously through a ten year old. Yes, that should
Speaker 3: not have that responsibility ever, Yeah it's a lot.
Speaker 2: And also stop living vicariously.
Speaker 1: Through stopt vicariously through your children.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, so that I learned a few lessons.
Speaker 3: So it many many things were learned from that faithful
Speaker 3: baseball game, Miles.
Speaker 1: In many ways, children can be our best teachers. It's true.
Speaker 1: I'm uh yeah, no, I'm fully I have a hard time.
Speaker 1: Like you know, my oldest plays chess a lot, and
Speaker 1: just like watching his chest match chess, by the way,
Speaker 1: something I'd never like played prior to a year ago.
Speaker 1: But like now I'm like, oh, he's not, you know,
Speaker 1: like on the inside, I'm just like so living and
Speaker 1: dying with every move and it's absurd.
Speaker 3: You're just reading the text recap of his chest game.
Speaker 3: Kidding me, ma'am, but yeah, am I underrated. I think
Speaker 3: I've done it before, but I gotta do it again.
Speaker 3: The goddamn twelve foot hovering witch that I have in
Speaker 3: my front yard.
Speaker 1: That I got home depot. We have a story later
Speaker 1: on about like the new hot operation. Yeah, big big
Speaker 1: Halloween decoration, our new gods, and they mentioned the twelve
Speaker 1: foot skeleton and they mentioned I guess I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that there's a giant beetlejuice sandworm that you can put
Speaker 1: in your front lawn, which looks fun. That one looks great.
Speaker 1: It's oversized, for sure. It's a yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: But I and they leave off the twelve foot hovering
Speaker 1: which I just have to you know, first of all,
Speaker 1: I was able to disassemble it at the end of
Speaker 1: Halloween season last year, put it back in storage, take
Speaker 1: it out of storage since we last spoke about it,
Speaker 1: and put it back up. And she's she's out there
Speaker 1: hovering off of my front lawn again with her shirt
Speaker 1: inside out, because it turns out I put the shirt
Speaker 1: on inside out and it's a tremendous pain in the
Speaker 1: ass to undo that mistake. But fine, it's fine. But
Speaker 1: the seams are showing.
Speaker 2: It's fashion three.
Speaker 1: But the little kids are back man like taking pictures
Speaker 1: with There's one family who like has a like ongoing,
Speaker 1: you know, their their toddler son is like, can we
Speaker 1: visit the witch every morning when they go on a walk,
Speaker 1: And it is just because you're spying on the family
Speaker 1: during their morning discussions. Yeah, exactly, Well that's what I
Speaker 1: have it there for, for intel gathering. I'm actually hiding
Speaker 1: in the Witch's skirt and just catching catching people slip with.
Speaker 2: The parabolic microphone.
Speaker 1: What are they saying? What are they saying about my witch?
Speaker 2: But it's got the shirt's normal.
Speaker 1: It's just it looks like it's inside out that she
Speaker 1: meant to wear it that way.
Speaker 3: Okay, why is it? Why is the witch talking third
Speaker 3: person and coughing.
Speaker 1: About went camping? There's a lot of smoke inhalations, trying
Speaker 1: to get your ears.
Speaker 2: Would you never mind?
Speaker 1: But it's so it does have like one thing the
Speaker 1: witch has that magic illusion and working like you know
Speaker 1: the one you ever see that beer that's like hovering
Speaker 1: in the sky perpetually, like pouring into a mug.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like the floating from spancers loading. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: So it works on that same illusion where like her
Speaker 1: broom is on the ground and she appears to be
Speaker 1: flying and like that trick very simple, but it always
Speaker 1: works on my brain for a split second. And so
Speaker 1: I think I think where the Witch comes from, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a twofer, and that she's big. She's also
Speaker 1: flying u and I think she's flying for like thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: So it's not just the scale of it, like the
Speaker 3: damn fucking tired ass skeleton, thank you, that ship's fucking normcore.
Speaker 2: We're talking to fucking optical illusion for the babies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think she also came out at the
Speaker 1: same time as the were wolf, and like I think
Speaker 1: people were a little disappointed in the were wolf, so
Speaker 1: I haven't I think maybe lumped in together.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't and I don't mean to.
Speaker 3: I know we're not doing I already did my overrated
Speaker 3: but I think, well, were wolves are a.
Speaker 2: Bit passe, like just in general, where wolf, Yeah, Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless I'm using I'm using a werewolf to evoke
Speaker 3: how you would be if you drink a Vietnamese iced coffee.
Speaker 2: We have to change yourself to a.
Speaker 1: Radio exactly where wolves are like where wolves for anybody
Speaker 1: who has had substance abuse problems, uh like very easy
Speaker 1: to identify with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: I and Jacko and Hide. Yes, but they're not they're
Speaker 1: not necessarily scary. They're more like very sympathetic characters.
Speaker 3: For yeah, because you're like, oh, man, that sucks, he's
Speaker 3: gotta go back down there again.
Speaker 1: Oh that was so annoying.
Speaker 3: The McRib is back, Get my chain, honey, I gotta
Speaker 3: go to the radiator.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about the events of the week. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back and we're back. Yeah and yeah, I mean the
Speaker 1: weekend was a fucking nightmare. It was really like, you know,
Speaker 1: horrifying the way, you know, the events that were happening
Speaker 1: in Israel and also like the way everybody was furious
Speaker 1: and hurting, and I don't know, it was a bad time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, you know, there was a
Speaker 3: like a surprise attack launched by Hamas into like out
Speaker 3: of Gaza that I think the death toll at this
Speaker 3: point is like over thirteen hundred or something at this point, Yeah,
Speaker 3: with a lot of Israeli citizens are civilians and Palestinian
Speaker 3: civilians being killed. Yeah, and it's like, you know, the
Speaker 3: footage is fucking horrifying. We've seeing people just like people
Speaker 3: walking on the street getting shot and I think you
Speaker 3: know a lot of those images inspired a lot of
Speaker 3: people to memory hole like what the situation.
Speaker 1: Is in Israel has been Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the coverage felt I the first things I read
Speaker 3: like we're sort of treating these attacks like in a vacuum,
Speaker 3: as if the like Israelis have not been putting Palestinians
Speaker 3: like in a fucking open air prison as many people
Speaker 3: describe the Gaza strip like that for for decades and
Speaker 3: just be like how what like what were they doing?
Speaker 2: What's going?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: What did what did they do that they deserve this?
Speaker 3: And I'm not here to celebrate civilian deaths by any
Speaker 3: fucking means. Just like, the thing that was stuck out
Speaker 3: to me the most was sort of the lack of
Speaker 3: context around the discussion around what the situation is between
Speaker 3: Israel and Palestine and a lot of a lot of
Speaker 3: colonial media shout out June for you know, I had
Speaker 3: to remind myself that we call this colonial media colonizer media.
Speaker 3: They they take up for other colonizer nations and treated
Speaker 3: sort of like this thing that was mysterious and that
Speaker 3: like nothing had been happening, as if you know, the
Speaker 3: inflow and outflow of goods to Palestine is completely controlled
Speaker 3: by Israelis, like along with medical supplies, electricity, water, countless things. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and when you look at it from that perspective, you're like,
Speaker 3: of course, shit like this is going to happen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is this like the violence begets violence and this
Speaker 3: is this is the situation. And I think, yeah, it
Speaker 3: was really like you know, for like, even like the
Speaker 3: commentary out of like the White House, obviously because we
Speaker 3: are the biggest arms supplier to Israel, is going to
Speaker 3: completely leave out the part that you know, the US
Speaker 3: also has a hand in this from arming the Israeli
Speaker 3: military and also letting you know, like we talked about
Speaker 3: this during the all the uprisings in twenty twenty in
Speaker 3: the US about how a lot of these carceral and
Speaker 3: like crowd control technologies we saw being used are like tried,
Speaker 3: like they're tested in.
Speaker 1: Israel on the Palestinian people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so it's a very like it's a very
Speaker 3: it's just a very fucked up situation and just to
Speaker 3: see like how the fracturing of like people like losing
Speaker 3: sight of what's going on and not to say anything
Speaker 3: is like justified or anything, but like you're you're looking
Speaker 3: at a situation where the outcome will only be this
Speaker 3: kind of violence at a certain point when people are
Speaker 3: put in k yeah, that they are going to respond
Speaker 3: like this, and you know that now there's like that
Speaker 3: there there have been a lot of like Israelis that
Speaker 3: are taken hostage, and like the figures on that I
Speaker 3: think obviously fluctuate depending on like where you're getting your news.
Speaker 1: But it's just a it's it's it's it's a.
Speaker 3: Fucking it's an ongoing fucked up situation that really has
Speaker 3: been going on for like seventy five years now. And yeah,
Speaker 3: like a lot of the coverage is sort of is like, yeah,
Speaker 3: so this just happened, and that's all we can really
Speaker 3: talk about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to your point about like it, you know,
Speaker 1: people do horrific things in the fog of war, but
Speaker 1: like racist propaganda gets spread in the fog of war
Speaker 1: as well. You know, I think, like I abhor the
Speaker 1: killing and mis treatment of innocent people. I just like
Speaker 1: happen to abhor it when it happens to Palestinian people
Speaker 1: as well. But it feels like it doesn't enter the
Speaker 1: zeitgeist of the United States when the Palestinian people are
Speaker 1: the ones suffering systemic imprisonment and murder due to the
Speaker 1: policies of the Israeli government military and like, but I yeah,
Speaker 1: like both of those things can be true, Like I
Speaker 1: can want innocent Israeli people to be safe from harm
Speaker 1: and also think the Israeli occupation is evil, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it does like it just there does seem
Speaker 1: to be And I remember this, like even from when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, like viewing this conflict, like they're
Speaker 1: just it seems like there is a the way the
Speaker 1: mainstream media and the US or you know, the colonial
Speaker 1: media treats this story. It seems like Palestinian lives are
Speaker 1: worth worthless in the calculation, I mean, the US mainstream media.
Speaker 3: We're also a nation built off the suffering of indigenous,
Speaker 3: black and brown bodies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that exactly.
Speaker 2: We can't.
Speaker 3: We can't, we will never, we would never want to
Speaker 3: define an amount of what that is worth or what
Speaker 3: the suffering is worth. So because we have our own shit,
Speaker 3: we refuse to reckon with We're not about the media
Speaker 3: is not about to.
Speaker 2: Reckon with another nation shit like that.
Speaker 3: It might maybe in the sense to say like, well
Speaker 3: the US is better, and that's just disingenuous, but you know,
Speaker 3: it's just it's just like it's that's just sort of
Speaker 3: a blind spot or a w WillFull blind spot that
Speaker 3: has to be, you know, maintained in order for like,
Speaker 3: you know, the moral high ground.
Speaker 1: Of a nation to be. It's just, yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's grim. Yeah, I don't know, it's a super grim
Speaker 1: like you said in the US as it released, the
Speaker 1: US like geist. You know, Trump is claiming on social
Speaker 1: media that the American taxpayer helped to fund the attacks
Speaker 1: on Israel, kind of in keeping with his strategy of
Speaker 1: taking the truth and saying the exact opposite. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: at least like focusing on it. He's suggesting that youren
Speaker 1: funded Hamas using the six billion dollars in assets that
Speaker 1: they were that were recently unfrozen by the US in
Speaker 1: exchange for American prisoners.
Speaker 2: That talking point was everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this became the main like Republican talking point. And
Speaker 1: it's especially super because first of all, it wasn't tax paramoney.
Speaker 1: The six billion dollars was sitting in a South Korean
Speaker 1: bank and ode to a due to South Korean purchases
Speaker 1: of Iranian energy products. But their money was inaccessible purely
Speaker 1: because South Korea was concerned about following a foul of
Speaker 1: US sanctions. So that's yeah, yeah, that was money and
Speaker 1: like us kind of parked there.
Speaker 3: It'll only be dispersed for very specific payments like like
Speaker 3: for you know, for like medicine, for food, those kinds
Speaker 3: of things. So and like then there's even Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 3: Green who tried to use this to be like it
Speaker 3: was Ukraine, like to keep like banging that drum, to
Speaker 3: be like to it was Ukraine armed them, and even
Speaker 3: Russian media pushed back.
Speaker 2: They're like, uh, we have we have.
Speaker 3: Nothing that would suggest that's remotely true, but I guess
Speaker 3: go off, Marjorie Taylor Green. Yeah, and yeah, again this
Speaker 3: is just a very it's like while too, because you see,
Speaker 3: like you see like people like Kylie Jenner like posted
Speaker 3: something like like all stand with and support of Israel
Speaker 3: and then getting absolutely torn down by like our followers
Speaker 3: and like.
Speaker 1: You know a way, I'm like, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, if you're not critically thinking in this country,
Speaker 3: you would think that maybe everything was fine in Israel
Speaker 3: and the fact that like you would take this very
Speaker 3: narrow perspective about like what the what the power dynamic
Speaker 3: is there and just be like, why.
Speaker 2: Would Palestinian people do this to Israelis?
Speaker 3: We have to stand with the Israelis and understand obviously
Speaker 3: the civilian death is fucking terrible. Yeah, And I think
Speaker 3: there's this other part that you just that is missed of,
Speaker 3: like how lopsided and imbalanced the violences in the direction
Speaker 3: towards Palestinian people. Like, dude, there's countless times I'm reading
Speaker 3: about Palestinian children getting killed, fucking journalists being killed by
Speaker 3: snipers or whatever, and it's like it's only on the
Speaker 3: margins of like like like global news sites or things
Speaker 3: like that. It's not being talked to about on like
Speaker 3: MSNBC or whatever. And that has people in this like
Speaker 3: I don't know, they have this perception again that it's
Speaker 3: like they're Israel's just trying to do what they can
Speaker 3: with like this mess that they've been dealt or whatever.
Speaker 3: But if you look at like I was on Al
Speaker 3: Jazeera and they had a graphic of showing like sort
Speaker 3: of what this civilian death toll has been for the
Speaker 3: roughly the last fifteen years up until this event, was
Speaker 3: that about forty five hundred Palestinian civilians have died in
Speaker 3: about three hundred Israeli citizens have died.
Speaker 2: Just that's sort of what we're looking at.
Speaker 1: And the coverage only goes really one way when it
Speaker 1: comes to.
Speaker 2: This one direction.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again and because we haven't a verb. We
Speaker 3: saw this even with the war in Ukraine. When people
Speaker 3: look a little lighter in complexion, there's there's a little
Speaker 3: bit more empathy. And yeah, so a lot of these
Speaker 3: people like sort of breathlessly take a lot of the
Speaker 3: you know, the propaganda that comes out of like Israel
Speaker 3: that sort of obscures what's going on, and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think this is good because I saw some people die,
Speaker 3: and it's like this is so much more complex and
Speaker 3: being like pick a side right now, I mean, I'm I'm,
Speaker 3: I'm there's nothing that I will waver in. And when
Speaker 3: I look at the situation, I'm like, yeah, these people
Speaker 3: are fucking getting sheniicided in slow motion.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Uh, And again I don't know what the fuck.
Speaker 3: Someone put a thing out like, uh it was like
Speaker 3: if Twitter existed in the eighteen hundreds and they're talking
Speaker 3: about the like Haitian uprising against the French and they're like,
Speaker 3: no idea, what happened here, Like he's innocent French people,
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And they're like if Twitter existed then,
Speaker 3: because it's like what, Yeah, we're talking about enslavement. We're
Speaker 3: talking about like people getting killed. And you look at
Speaker 3: the backstories of some of these people who join Hamas,
Speaker 3: like one of the commanders lost his fucking infant son,
Speaker 3: three year old daughter, and wife in like one fellow
Speaker 3: swoop in an airstrike and like that was this guy's
Speaker 3: radicalizing incident. And you're like, these are just there's just
Speaker 3: you're creating a fucking pressure book or that's gonna just
Speaker 3: blow up. And that's think like what every even like
Speaker 3: leftists in Israel have been saying. They're like this is
Speaker 3: we're not fucking We're not safe. When we do this,
Speaker 3: and a lot of people are saying that, you know,
Speaker 3: people are going to be demanding answers because for all
Speaker 3: the money that's been spent two to like wall up
Speaker 3: the Gaza strip and things and have like anti tunneling
Speaker 3: sensor and things and nothing like.
Speaker 2: They was really truly caught completely off guard.
Speaker 3: And I think, like you know, most like sort of
Speaker 3: experts in the arena talk about it's like, yeah, this
Speaker 3: is going to bring some kind of paradigm shift. The
Speaker 3: fucked up thing is now that we're going to see
Speaker 3: even more loss of life for Palestini, innocent Palestinian people
Speaker 3: as well, because the response like out of the government
Speaker 3: in Israel has been like they're like op eds where
Speaker 3: they're like when genocide is okay kind of thing, it's
Speaker 3: like we need to like level Gaza. And this is
Speaker 3: this is where it gets really fucked up because now
Speaker 3: you were I'm reading reports of like more US military
Speaker 3: hardware being sent to the region, and who knows where
Speaker 3: this goes because I don't think you send warships when
Speaker 3: you're trying to sort something out peacefully.
Speaker 2: But again, this is this is sort of.
Speaker 3: Like the ongoing terrible back and forth of just globally,
Speaker 3: not reckoning with what's been happening in the region.
Speaker 1: Yeah and yeah, just back to like what is actually
Speaker 1: happening on the funding side, So that six million dollars,
Speaker 1: which again did not come from the United States, has
Speaker 1: not been touched because it's being closely monitored by the US.
Speaker 1: It's inaccessible like in a lot of ways, so none
Speaker 1: of that money's actually been spent. The United States, meanwhile,
Speaker 1: has provided Israel with one hundred and fifty eight billion
Speaker 1: dollars in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding and helped
Speaker 1: to fund Julyes brutal assault on the West Bank that
Speaker 1: led to the deaths of like five children, which again
Speaker 1: is the sort of thing that doesn't get covered in
Speaker 1: our media.
Speaker 2: But yeah, or even like even like when when the
Speaker 2: Hamas is saying, like this is why this is happening,
Speaker 2: Like I like the first reports like I was reading
Speaker 2: just didn't even say anything about that, about like the
Speaker 2: desecration of a mosque in Jerusalem, and like the continued
Speaker 2: confinement of the people of Causa and things like that.
Speaker 2: It's one of the most densely populated places on earth,
Speaker 2: Like two million people live there. Yeah, so yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: see what the I mean. I'm sure we'll continue to
Speaker 2: talk about it, because the rhetoric is ramping up, and
Speaker 2: already we're sending so much money when we have our
Speaker 2: own fucking issues to deal with, to to continue to
Speaker 2: finance the oppression of people.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yep, a lot going on this weekend, A
Speaker 3: lot going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back and talk about Demolition Man, and we're back
Speaker 1: and back. Demolition Man turned thirty today. Wow, one of
Speaker 1: my names has become demolition Man.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I saw this movie.
Speaker 3: I remember on a school night my dad and I
Speaker 3: thought it was the most badass shit I could ever do.
Speaker 3: I just read one of like just some tidbits about
Speaker 3: like the making of this film that I had no idea.
Speaker 1: Bits kid bits here, so.
Speaker 3: You know, palate cleanser as we shift gears away from
Speaker 3: the dark oppression in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: So originally Stephen.
Speaker 3: Segal was supposed to star opposite Jean Claude van Dam.
Speaker 3: Jeann Claude van Dam was supposed to be Simon Phoenix,
Speaker 3: the Wesley Snipes part.
Speaker 2: Luckily, Marco Brambia, who is the person who gave us
Speaker 2: the jaw dropping Utwo Sphere Visuals cast Stallone and Snipes
Speaker 2: instead because this was like this feels fucking dumb, like
Speaker 2: this was not feeling the.
Speaker 1: Two of them, and then and junk Club Van dam
Speaker 1: are not really actors like the you know, like it's no,
Speaker 1: it would have just been as like our greatest actor.
Speaker 3: But it's right right right, but like there's a you
Speaker 3: can see a little balance there. And then Wesley Snipes
Speaker 3: with his like high energy and blonde, you know, flat
Speaker 3: top and his love of karate kicking, You're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is great.
Speaker 1: Stallone ain't kicking.
Speaker 2: I mean, has he ever karate kicked someone? I don't
Speaker 2: think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think every scene has ever been above knee level,
Speaker 1: like right right ryeah.
Speaker 3: Like in terms of his normal like gait like jogging
Speaker 3: or something that's the highest his legs go. Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: like this is perfect. You can't get two kicky guys
Speaker 3: in there, no guy, Yeah, yeah, you need punchy guy.
Speaker 3: And then like witty kicky guy. And then also Lenina Huxley,
Speaker 3: who was the Sandra Bullock character was also originally cast.
Speaker 3: Uh like Lori Petty tank Girl was originally cast to
Speaker 3: play that part.
Speaker 1: That actually made sense, that is like, oh, this character
Speaker 1: was inspired by her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that there's like an energy to it. But then
Speaker 3: apparently she and Stallone didn't get along. She described their
Speaker 3: dynamic against oil and water were used to loan Lloyd Betty. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like she and then again they were were like, okay,
Speaker 3: let's get this young upstart Sandra Bullock in here, which
Speaker 3: I didn't realize this was actually like the this was
Speaker 3: her first sort of huge step towards stardom.
Speaker 2: And then I think speed came after this was like
Speaker 2: and then she was fully there.
Speaker 3: So and I also didn't realize this was a kind
Speaker 3: of a comeback for Stallone with that movie. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: he had it was some fallow years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always interesting. It's a I think it's the
Speaker 1: closest that Stallone came to successfully pulling off what like Schwartzeneger.
Speaker 1: You know, the eighties were defined by Schwarzenegger versus Stallone,
Speaker 1: and Schwarzenegger was always able to be in like the
Speaker 1: sci fi movies like Total Recall and Write Uh, Determinator Franchise,
Speaker 1: and Stallone it like you always have to rub up
Speaker 1: against Like the way he talks doesn't feel like it
Speaker 1: should be in the future. Yeah, but this this one
Speaker 1: it worked out. It can't because the whole like premise
Speaker 1: of the movie is that he's not supposed to be
Speaker 1: uh from this time and he's supposed to be like
Speaker 1: an ally whoa.
Speaker 3: And there's a nod to like this the Schwarzenegger rivalry
Speaker 3: when they're like the presidential the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library, like
Speaker 3: they mentioned it, you know, like there's a little tongue
Speaker 3: in cheek action.
Speaker 1: Where do you think?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: I know, like people have said this was like a
Speaker 3: comeback film for him, So I'm trying to think what
Speaker 3: periods are we defining as the follow years? Like was
Speaker 3: it Rocky four was the beginning?
Speaker 1: How where do you want to say this the fallow years?
Speaker 1: I mean, Rocky four is eighty five. That movie is
Speaker 1: like number one of the box office for so most
Speaker 1: of that year.
Speaker 2: Cash was also, you know, wasn't that a hit?
Speaker 3: Or am I just thinking because I saw the videotape
Speaker 3: everywhere that I was like, that movie is a hit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, like A stop for my Mom
Speaker 1: will shoot? Yeah. I think that and Oscar were around
Speaker 1: the same time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Oscar's nineteen ninety one, Stopper My Mom Will
Speaker 3: Shoot is nineteen ninety two. Then Cliffhanger Demolition Man.
Speaker 1: Oh well, Cliffhanger was also like a major comeback that
Speaker 1: was like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah guy, So I think this is the beginning.
Speaker 3: So our guests we were just Rocky five. We fuck
Speaker 3: with Rocky five, and.
Speaker 1: I think that's in l yeah. I think that counts
Speaker 1: as an l okay. Yeah. So, but like Judge, it
Speaker 1: was like he was always trying to move Oscar. Oscar
Speaker 1: is such a yeah, such a miss. So like the
Speaker 1: big thing that where he like fell off. So he
Speaker 1: was on this like Rocky four Cobra over the Top
Speaker 1: streak where it's like this guy can do no wrong.
Speaker 1: People will watch him in a arm wrestling movie. And
Speaker 1: then Rambo three, which is the most expensive movie of
Speaker 1: all time up to that point, which you know relates
Speaker 1: to which also like the content of the movie relates
Speaker 1: to what we were talking about the main story in
Speaker 1: the news right now, because he like helps the muja
Speaker 1: Hadeen like fight off Imperial Russia, and people were like, huh,
Speaker 1: we're not so into this political message. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that was the the reason it tanked, but that
Speaker 1: was that was like Vietnam Man, stick to killing Vietnamese people.
Speaker 1: Yeah they're approved, uh, but yeah, Rambo three was a
Speaker 1: big bomb. And then you have like Tango and Cash,
Speaker 1: Rocky five, Oscar Stopper, My Mom will shoot. And then
Speaker 1: in the same year he has Cliffhanger Demolition Man, which
Speaker 1: come back and really you know, are seems like all right,
Speaker 1: he's back. But then up next is like The Specialist,
Speaker 1: Judge dread Assassins, which are all kind of not great
Speaker 1: daylight yeah, the Tunnel movie. But then yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: That movie fucked me up, like because isn't it about
Speaker 3: is it like about the Lincoln Tell Like is it.
Speaker 2: Is it New York?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so. Yeah, it's like one of the
Speaker 1: every one of these.
Speaker 3: Every time I go like into one of those tunnels,
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh no, man, just like I have that
Speaker 3: trailer stuck in my mind since I was a kid.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's so funny that Dennis Leary is in
Speaker 1: Demolition Man because it kind of takes its whole moral
Speaker 1: core from like Dennis Leary bit yeah a lot of
Speaker 1: you. I think he does a bit like I think he
Speaker 1: does like run niked through the streets. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And a lot of people took that as like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is movies like libertarian, right, and they're like, no, no,
Speaker 3: that's not the main point.
Speaker 2: I think it is funny. That's why, like it's viewers
Speaker 2: choice kind of.
Speaker 3: For some people, if they want to hang on to
Speaker 3: the Dennis Leary character, then they're like, yeah, this movie's
Speaker 3: talking to me. Other people are like, oh, look at
Speaker 3: how opportunistic leaders are in a tragedy to try and
Speaker 3: consolidate power.
Speaker 2: I think it is the larger message here, but.
Speaker 3: Hey, it's up to you, folks if you want to
Speaker 3: eat a rat burger with your ass hanging out while
Speaker 3: you run through the streets and go ahead, buddy.
Speaker 1: And finally, The Exorcist, the latest Exorcist sequel, came out,
Speaker 1: and people are pretending that it was like a disappointment
Speaker 1: because it only made twenty seven million dollars in the
Speaker 1: United States made forty five million globally. That seems like
Speaker 1: way more money than I would expect the movie, yeah
Speaker 1: to make.
Speaker 2: We're still fucking with the Exorcist for real.
Speaker 1: They haven't had a successful like they've had Exorcism movies,
Speaker 1: but they're not like sequels to The Exorcists, and like
Speaker 1: that franchise has been bad since the like the first
Speaker 1: one is a classic, and then everything after that, like
Speaker 1: the the second one is like famously bad, and like,
Speaker 1: I guess Exorcists three is supposed to be good, but
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: were scary. Either way, I'm not it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in general, I'm not fucking with like Exorcisms, you know,
Speaker 3: Exorcist movies.
Speaker 2: I don't like fucking scary movies.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like a waste of time for
Speaker 3: me when I'm like, yeah, I'm already in a state
Speaker 3: of fright all right, existing in the world.
Speaker 2: I don't need to compound that with the Exorcists.
Speaker 3: But then when I read how much money fucking Warner
Speaker 3: Brothers paid to fucking own the rights.
Speaker 1: Just to own the rights, they paid four hundred million dollars,
Speaker 1: so I.
Speaker 3: Guess they're a quarter nearly a quarter of their way
Speaker 3: earning it back.
Speaker 1: But but then the movie costs thirty million to produce.
Speaker 1: This is the best opening for an Exorcist movie ever.
Speaker 1: But like everyone's like this, this one's tanked, guys. And
Speaker 1: the reason that people think it tanked is wokeness because
Speaker 1: there's a line in the movie. So there's a line
Speaker 1: in the movie where Ellen Burston's character says, like, talking
Speaker 1: about the first movie, so Elan Burston was the mom
Speaker 1: and the first Exorcist, I believe, and she was like,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't let me in to like watch the Exorcist Exorcism,
Speaker 1: I guess. And then another character is like, why not,
Speaker 1: She says, my opinion, because I'm not a member of
Speaker 1: their damn patriarchy. W Yes, well man, you go broke, dude.
Speaker 1: I mean it is like the line is so bad.
Speaker 1: It is like the worst version of woke signaling bullshit
Speaker 1: where you just like give a cartoon version of a
Speaker 1: feminist take right, you will be shocked to learn that
Speaker 1: it is directed by a man and written by three men.
Speaker 1: So so woke.
Speaker 3: That's what's woke, though, because I'm able to I'm able
Speaker 3: to actually comment on patriarchy as a person who's part
Speaker 3: of it, you see.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm getting points.
Speaker 3: But Jesus Man, four hundred million is such a we're
Speaker 3: we're so screwed, Like there's no no one likes an
Speaker 3: original fucking idea so much copycat ship.
Speaker 2: What what rights are they buying, we get these rights? Okay,
Speaker 2: Well don't I got rights? Hey, don't I got something
Speaker 2: original on the screen?
Speaker 3: Five?
Speaker 1: Come on? Yeah, Rocky six? Is that six? Yeah? That
Speaker 1: is it? No? I don't know?
Speaker 3: Or is that is that Rocky Balboa is technically Rocky six?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the one where he like wants to box someone.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They're like, dude, you're too old, You're too old, You're
Speaker 1: gonna die. Don't got rights?
Speaker 3: And they're like, oh, you know what, You're right, you do, Okay,
Speaker 3: go ahead, die in the ring, sir.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the new one's got absolutely terrible reviews, not
Speaker 1: just from film critics but from our very own superducer Victor,
Speaker 1: who says, the new one is so bo.
Speaker 2: That's the five ring boring. Uh oh, you're getting a fib.
Speaker 1: Ring boring rating. Nah, man, that's not good.
Speaker 2: Five o's on that one. Don't do it.
Speaker 1: And then we do have a new Halloween decoration taken over.
Speaker 1: It's targets Lewis Lewis, Yeah, what the fuck is Lewis?
Speaker 1: So it goes for one hundred and eighty dollars, already
Speaker 1: sold out in most stores, and the the overall like
Speaker 1: reason that people are fucking with Lewis is because he
Speaker 1: seems to have attitude like he has he will talk
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, this is their king.
Speaker 1: Yes, this thing, this is Janki's ship, but he has
Speaker 1: sass and.
Speaker 2: Target.
Speaker 1: Target will not comment on Lewis's backstory, but people people
Speaker 1: are saying, like, is Lewis giving l G B t
Speaker 1: Q vibes? Is that? Like? What's going on? Because do
Speaker 1: we have can we play the clip? I think it's
Speaker 1: in the in the dock, Yeah, the clip is right there.
Speaker 3: What I am not a Jack o Lantern? I thought
Speaker 3: it was like some roots ship. Your name is Toby,
Speaker 3: but that's was not what was going on. My name
Speaker 3: is Lewis.
Speaker 2: I'm okay, all right, Lewis, go ahead, do you sir?
Speaker 1: Over there? It's not near me. I'll say you are
Speaker 1: Jack o Lantern? Sorry, man, you got a big pumpkinhead
Speaker 1: and face carved in.
Speaker 3: I don't know what your definition of jack O'Lantern is,
Speaker 3: but it's fucking you man, it's you, and I hate the.
Speaker 1: I am not a person. My name is jack It's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: but like that, so those things are both true. You
Speaker 1: are actually a person and you have a name, but no,
Speaker 1: I'm Jack.
Speaker 3: I'm a Jack, right, Oh okay, sure, I mean this
Speaker 3: is I gotta say, this is a pretty weak offering
Speaker 3: compared to the even the fucking Werewolf, Like I picked
Speaker 3: the Werewolf over this ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not their best work and not a chance,
Speaker 1: not that anybody has a chance of getting it at
Speaker 1: the original listing press. And you're fine.
Speaker 2: You're fine not getting the thing.
Speaker 3: You could almost quite literally make out of buying a
Speaker 3: big old plastic jack O lantern and going to fucking
Speaker 3: and just putting some black sheets on it and then
Speaker 3: put some wrang skeleton hands on it and look at you.
Speaker 1: Now you have your own, your very own Lewis. It
Speaker 1: does look like it was happening, like it was almost
Speaker 1: like the point is like it's a thing that two
Speaker 1: movie characters have put together to spook some people or something, right,
Speaker 1: like in a movie. Yeah, like like the head leaning for.
Speaker 2: Kevin McAllister joint Kevin.
Speaker 1: Kevin McAllister original.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, but I love it if Lewis gives people, you know, strength,
Speaker 1: if Lewis is giving people inspiration and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: giving people options. When the twelve foot Skeleton has sold out,
Speaker 1: which it has been all fall at home depot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: missed my window, man, I was so close, Like I
Speaker 1: better talk it over with my wife as a big purchase.
Speaker 1: By the time we had talked it over and I
Speaker 1: had cried until she let me buy it, it was
Speaker 1: sold out. So it was like a wour window. And
Speaker 1: I cried, you know when I cry, so like try
Speaker 1: and get a way. It goes on a long time
Speaker 1: in USA.
Speaker 2: I'm a jack o' lantern. I am all right.
Speaker 1: Those are some of the things that are trending on
Speaker 1: this Monday, October ninth. We are back tomorrow with a
Speaker 1: whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
Speaker 1: to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
