Speaker 4: Anyways. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my
Speaker 4: co host, mister Miles Grast. Miles Gray.
Speaker 2: Look, it's the Lord of Lancasham, the Showgun with no Gun,
Speaker 2: just here in Los Angeles as we become the focal
Speaker 2: point of the Trump administration's brutal anti immigration policy.
Speaker 4: Are you guys okay? Are you staying safe?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: Always there, He's been really safe, to be honest. Are
Speaker 4: you okay? Yes, I'm okay, I'm okay, everyone's okay? Getting
Speaker 4: that from who don't look? Yeah, I'm like, no, Yeah,
Speaker 4: we're fine. It's just that these federal goons are making
Speaker 4: things not okay right now.
Speaker 2: That's that's where we're not okay. We're fine here, We're
Speaker 2: we're completely equipped to take care of ourselves and each
Speaker 2: other in our communities. But it's this federal invasion. That's
Speaker 2: the invasion that's actually happening right now that we need.
Speaker 4: To be liberated from. But he got to first. He's
Speaker 4: calling it invasion LA and not not for the correct reason. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we'll see how long this. Yeah, I mean yeah, he'll
Speaker 4: probably keep pressing that button. But I mean right now
Speaker 4: that the.
Speaker 2: Facts just aren't on your side, no matter how hard
Speaker 2: you try to manufacture this like event, and again who knows,
Speaker 2: because they're Every move that the federal government keeps making
Speaker 2: is to increase tensions and incite further Yeah, sort of
Speaker 2: clashes with the police. But again it's not because the
Speaker 2: people are violent. It's because they're here to protest what
Speaker 2: is happening.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in
Speaker 4: our third seat by one of the best podcast hosts
Speaker 4: doing it anywhere. And my old friend from the Crack
Speaker 4: Day is a Jeopardy champion, the host of the Wonderful
Speaker 4: podcast secretly incredibly fascinating. It's Alex Schmall. Hey, commit and
Speaker 4: die Copper Kay, don't like my driving dial one eight
Speaker 4: hundred each me here you go, so stupid? Are the
Speaker 4: rest of my buffer stickers? Yeah? Those are my favorite,
Speaker 4: the dozens that you sent me.
Speaker 3: It's so great to be here, And yeah, I know
Speaker 3: it's been nice having lived in Los Angeles previously and
Speaker 3: knowing how large it is, knowing that, like most people
Speaker 3: in my life are probably fine. But also it is
Speaker 3: as if the United States is invading a country like
Speaker 3: Los Angeles is a very big Yeah, so I hope
Speaker 3: everybody in.
Speaker 2: The long run do we need like insurgent tactics, like
Speaker 2: we need to start taping up the street signs so
Speaker 2: they don't know what streets they're on anymore, and they're
Speaker 2: like relying on you know what I mean, like real
Speaker 2: simple stuff, just easy things. Or they're like because these
Speaker 2: people are out of towners, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: they don't know what the fuck where things are. I
Speaker 2: mean some might be, but you know, little things. I
Speaker 2: don't know. As the tactics change from the federal government,
Speaker 2: perhaps the tactics are going to start changing from this
Speaker 2: side too. But just renumbering all the interstates, like it's
Speaker 2: one off would be great. Just do that.
Speaker 4: I'm on the eleven and you.
Speaker 2: Know I'm on the one to one right now. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: take that to Cranker Buying Avenue and you'll be right there. Alex.
Speaker 4: We're thrilled to have you here. How's it going where
Speaker 4: you are? You're you're on the other side of the country,
Speaker 4: if I if I remember correctly, it's yes, I'm in Beacon,
Speaker 4: New York, which is in the Hudson River Valley. It's
Speaker 4: above New York City. But like I had a very
Speaker 4: strange Sunday because I was like googling the invasion of
Speaker 4: Los Angeles by the United States military while I was
Speaker 4: at our town's strawberry festival, and sweet, really good.
Speaker 2: We contain multitudes this nation. It's the greatest country on Earth.
Speaker 2: On one side, you could have a military invasion more
Speaker 2: New Yorkers taking there better than us.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well we had a whimsical strawberry festival because and
Speaker 6: the other thing I heard is that like almost all
Speaker 6: of the rest of LA was also like usual weekend
Speaker 6: farmers market and stuff.
Speaker 3: It's just so massive. People need to know that. Like
Speaker 3: it's approaching the size of New York City metropolitan area
Speaker 3: or bigger and then like flattened out and spread out
Speaker 3: and like downtown is not really the middle.
Speaker 2: It's just so big.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Los Angeles County is the biggest city in the world,
Speaker 4: I think, like just size wise. Yeah, it's it's massive.
Speaker 4: It's yeah.
Speaker 2: And for anyone, are you safe?
Speaker 4: We are.
Speaker 2: It's not that there's like what you see on the
Speaker 2: streets where people are like in the streets. That doesn't
Speaker 2: mean protesters are just trying to hurt anyone or anything
Speaker 2: like that. They're not even trying to hurt the police.
Speaker 2: The police are hurting protesters. We're okay, you know, we're
Speaker 2: trying to just live our lives here. It just looks
Speaker 2: fucking wild because now we have like cops trampling people
Speaker 2: with their horses and shit, it's just funny to see that.
Speaker 2: A lot of the habits from the summer of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty are like creeping back in with people not knowing
Speaker 2: how to like articulate what's happening or where the like
Speaker 2: what side is actually instigating violent clashes. But yeah, we're
Speaker 2: we're fine, we're fine, we're fine.
Speaker 4: We just need to the horses purely for the photographic
Speaker 4: like impact, right, Yeah, Like that's in no way is
Speaker 4: that necessary or important. But they just I think they
Speaker 4: were like, this would be this will look cool if
Speaker 4: we're firing these tear gas canisters at private citizens from horseback.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and journalist like a cowboy. It's it's all. It's
Speaker 2: all wacky anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and those horses should be like in Griffith Park
Speaker 3: taking people on charming rides, you know, yeah, not police violence.
Speaker 4: That's yeah.
Speaker 2: The horses didn't what.
Speaker 3: Horses and LA Airport animal abuse.
Speaker 2: They didn't want to be conscripted into this bullshit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're just being pulled around by LAPD helicopters just
Speaker 4: like dropped air dropped from one place to the other
Speaker 4: through LAPD's like main, main mode of transport. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: feel like the way that most of LA experienced the
Speaker 4: unrest was lighter than usual helicopter traffic from the LAPD
Speaker 4: because they were otherwise occupied. But all right, Alex, we're
Speaker 4: thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to
Speaker 4: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 4: we're telling the listeners a couple of things we're talking about,
Speaker 4: and we of course want to start off with our
Speaker 4: favorite source of news on Trump's invasion of Los Angeles,
Speaker 4: and that is, of course, uh doctor Phil who has
Speaker 4: some things to say about ice raids.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, thank god, our thought leader.
Speaker 4: Yeah I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize he has a PhD in everything, everything
Speaker 3: that's ever been a.
Speaker 2: Top now Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's doing The doctor does
Speaker 2: a lot of work for him.
Speaker 4: It's one of the few people who realize you could
Speaker 4: just claim to have a PhD in anything and no
Speaker 4: people will ever push back whatsoever. Well'll talk about the
Speaker 4: Democratic Party deciding that Elon isn't so bad after all
Speaker 4: some some parts of the Democratic Party and being like,
Speaker 4: I don't know, let's just uh, let's see where he's
Speaker 4: going with this. Maybe he's our guy. Well we'll look
Speaker 4: at their new YouTube channel, YouTube Daily Show. That is
Speaker 4: like an attempt to recapture the youth, and it is
Speaker 4: really real bad so good, oh so good, I mean
Speaker 4: so good, waking. We're quaking over here, all that plenty more.
Speaker 4: But first, Alex, we do like to ask our guest,
Speaker 4: what is something from your search history that's revealing about
Speaker 4: who you are?
Speaker 3: I mentioned the Strawberry Festival. I was there wondering where
Speaker 3: the name strawberry came from in English, and apparently it's
Speaker 3: not clear, but either way, I really don't feel like
Speaker 3: that's a good name for the fruit, and yeah, change it.
Speaker 4: So I was trying to.
Speaker 2: Google it and nothing. Nothing.
Speaker 3: There's like guesses about it being from like strewn the berry,
Speaker 3: like strewn across the ground, or like old words for
Speaker 3: the earth and stuff. But the name sounds like it's
Speaker 3: a pile of hay and it's such a delicious fruit.
Speaker 3: I'm being very frustrated with this now that I think
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, what what's the straw because I think
Speaker 2: it my in my mind as a kid, I was
Speaker 2: like the thing we drink with, Oh yeah, straw a
Speaker 2: or something like that. Yeah, it probably predates the straw
Speaker 2: good to Know, Good to Know, although.
Speaker 4: For me it's totally overtaken like the I think I
Speaker 4: had that thought originally, but you know, I think Darryl
Speaker 4: Strawberry is now like that that was such an iconic name.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I think I've just had enough strawberry like
Speaker 4: candy brute secondary to candy in my life that I
Speaker 4: feel I feel like I can't go back now. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I just like wish we could upgrade at But I agree,
Speaker 4: it's definitely cemented in my head like like sort of
Speaker 4: like all feet, inches, miles, all those measurements, like they're
Speaker 4: just cemented in my head, and I know they could
Speaker 4: be better. And that's kind of where I'm at, So
Speaker 4: what do you think? And like triangle berry, Like, what's
Speaker 4: most the most unique thing about strawberries that they're triangles?
Speaker 2: Ish?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I the best game I can think of is
Speaker 3: Red Delicious, but that's an apple, so you can't do that.
Speaker 3: But like the so good and you're so red and
Speaker 3: then we just need a and then the name sounds
Speaker 3: like it's a haystack. It doesn't work, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Because in other what is it called an Italian like?
Speaker 2: I think all the other like language words for the
Speaker 2: strawberry are much better and sound like as whimsical as
Speaker 2: a strawberry looks and tastes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently in Italian it's a fragola goals Yeah, great,
Speaker 3: really good, already better Yeah, phrase us in Spanish in Spanish,
Speaker 3: so good perfect.
Speaker 2: It also looks much whenever I see that like an
Speaker 2: agua fresca thing, I says, I'm like yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: And like strawberry fine, right, I mean it gets the
Speaker 4: point across.
Speaker 2: I'm all for changing it. Whatever.
Speaker 4: You know that dried out ship that we feed the
Speaker 4: farm animals, so that is a plus berry like it?
Speaker 2: No it's bad?
Speaker 3: No, yeah, pretty bad? Pretty bad?
Speaker 4: What are you just called? Seeds on the outside, Barry,
Speaker 4: he's on the outside berrys pretty Goodeah? All right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What works out? This?
Speaker 3: So many better ways to go, can't go wrong, Alex,
Speaker 3: what's something you think is underrated? I really thought about
Speaker 3: it because he wrote a really great New York Times
Speaker 3: opinion piece. But Ken Jennings is just great, Like What
Speaker 3: a wonderful successor to Alex Trebek, What a wonderful figure
Speaker 3: in culture. And then he just wrote a like both
Speaker 3: very neutral and normal and also explicitly political app at
Speaker 3: about the value of facts. That was just great. So
Speaker 3: very happy with Ken Jennings lately.
Speaker 4: He's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I see more and more of his posts
Speaker 2: on Blue Sky and I'm like, hey, this guy's get
Speaker 2: a little bit of wit to him. I like some
Speaker 2: of these nice.
Speaker 4: I've always pitted the two of you as the two
Speaker 4: most foremost Jeopardy people in my life. I've always pitted
Speaker 4: the two of you against each other. So this is
Speaker 4: this is troubling to me. I've always have been like,
Speaker 4: fuck Ken Jennings to my boy alexid he should be
Speaker 4: the host of Jeopardy. Yeah, sounds like you maybe want
Speaker 4: me to lay off that a little bit.
Speaker 2: Well, they're started. Thought I was doing you a favor, bro, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you should stop sending like maggots in a box to
Speaker 2: his house for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so many threats to him, but everyone has a
Speaker 3: little appendency, like and Alex Schmid asked me to do this,
Speaker 3: and no on behalf of Alex Schmidt. Here you go,
Speaker 3: each Mid Die sends his regards. Yeah, I was also
Speaker 3: thinking him when sorry, I was also thinking of him
Speaker 3: when Wheel of Fortune got a new host because Wheel
Speaker 3: of Fortune is school. But then like when Pat's a
Speaker 3: Jack was ready to retire, they just picked Ryan Seacrest,
Speaker 3: like just a famous TV host because it's like I
Speaker 3: don't know what to do. And then totally different situation
Speaker 3: with Jeopardy, like they had a guy who like vaguely
Speaker 3: won the seat, you know, and it's very cool, it's
Speaker 3: a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess who could have even really taken the wheel?
Speaker 2: Like who makes sense? Fan of White? Weren't people saying like,
Speaker 2: shouldn't Vannah White just end up hosting because she's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I've been there to be like give
Speaker 2: it to Vanna?
Speaker 3: Yeah she seems great. Yeah, so that that's like the
Speaker 3: one better idea. But otherwise they were just like, who's
Speaker 3: the most famous person who stands in front of cameras?
Speaker 4: It's not too busy.
Speaker 2: And I feel like Ryan Seacrest has no time in
Speaker 2: his life at all because all he does is host
Speaker 2: three trillion things.
Speaker 4: They clone that motherfucker.
Speaker 3: Oh that makes sense, that makes sense.
Speaker 4: And we would not come for the hard hitting things,
Speaker 4: and we would know, and we would know they've offered
Speaker 4: to clone. We would know, check the network, check the network,
Speaker 4: we would know allegedly allegedly. I feel like Wheel Fortune
Speaker 4: could use some more because because the only times that
Speaker 4: I see Wheel of Fortune is when people fuck up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: they need some Steve Harvey and that, you know, like
Speaker 4: they need somebody who like, I don't know me, like
Speaker 4: Charles Barkley would also be fun, like somebody who's like
Speaker 4: going direct to camera being like what, I like Charles
Speaker 4: Barkley because he himself would also be open that he
Speaker 4: has no idea what the.
Speaker 2: Word's supposed to be either, because you know, honestly, I
Speaker 2: thought that's what it was too. I guess that's like yeah,
Speaker 2: Marklee for Fortune. Sure, Oh god, Victor Stephen A. Smith, No,
Speaker 2: that's too muser.
Speaker 4: Victor has suggested either the best or worst A Smith?
Speaker 2: What was that one recently that that was like really
Speaker 2: perverted that last Wheel of Fortune? When I remember we covered.
Speaker 4: The Victor suggestion that was really perverted?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Anyway, whatever whatever that was, Yeah, Stephen A. Smith would
Speaker 2: probably oh wasn't it? One was right in the butt.
Speaker 2: There was one that was like right in the recently
Speaker 2: Stephen A.
Speaker 4: Smith would probably say that guy is a crack probably,
Speaker 4: and then you'd be like, all right, that that's not
Speaker 4: the energy wheel of fortune he's going to yell at people.
Speaker 4: I feel like he needs a good day to like
Speaker 4: work up his steam, like he's not he's not in
Speaker 4: the moment good at being outraged, like he's good the
Speaker 4: next So I just think that he needs to start
Speaker 4: covering Wheel of Fortune on his ESPN show, Alex what
Speaker 4: is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: This is a recent learning Coca cola. It's like about
Speaker 3: the same as pepsi, And and our household decided to
Speaker 3: switch because we've heard like BDS, Coca cola is pro
Speaker 3: is real reasons to not drink it, and so we
Speaker 3: were like, okay, let's try pepsi. And I've been like
Speaker 3: a lifelong cokes the best one person And no, they're
Speaker 3: like the same, it's it's the same thing, and and
Speaker 3: pepsi is good. Boo you drinking pepsi. Heavies pepsi zero.
Speaker 3: And then like like if folks are like det on
Speaker 3: the deep deep lore of me, I do like a
Speaker 3: cherry Coke zero, partly because it was the soda and
Speaker 3: the young Pope that you'd law the young Pope drink.
Speaker 3: So then I got wild cherry pepsi zero. It's as good,
Speaker 3: maybe better. So that might be my new young Pope soda.
Speaker 2: I like that. You're like, yeah, whatever, he was working
Speaker 2: with a young pope. That's me. That's me.
Speaker 3: In the first episode, he like shouts at his papal
Speaker 3: assistance to bring him cherry coke ceo is like a
Speaker 3: breakfast drink, and it's really deranged. But then I was
Speaker 3: watching it and I was like, he has right, this
Speaker 3: is really good, like a chair breakfast now no, never coffee,
Speaker 3: but like but but yeah, wild cherry pepsi zero pretty good.
Speaker 4: They're like satanic implications to the young Pope, right, Like
Speaker 4: he's like, yeah, it's pretty level and that and that
Speaker 4: is part of that. Drinking wild cherry pepsi.
Speaker 2: At breakfast is satanic. It should be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like this guy's not quite right. Concerned Christian parents
Speaker 4: like my teenage daughter is drinking cherry pepsi in the morning,
Speaker 4: should I exorcism or no?
Speaker 2: Please tell me?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So uh, I apologies to Atlanta people especially, but coca
Speaker 3: cola is just fine. That the like halo around that
Speaker 3: as being the top soda is not justified.
Speaker 2: I think now. I means also, so many sodas are
Speaker 2: on the way out now, like because half of the
Speaker 2: soda companies are scrambling to be like, people don't like
Speaker 2: soda as much. So now do you like juice? Do
Speaker 2: you like these other fucking your cards? Like no, no
Speaker 2: flavor sodas? I don't know. Yeah, it's I haven't had
Speaker 2: like I mean the last time I was, oh, when
Speaker 2: we went to the movies, Jack and I had a
Speaker 2: little date last week we went to the movies.
Speaker 4: Do you remember when you got mouths from the Universal Machine?
Speaker 2: No, I don't, Honey, I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 4: Cherry cherry coke zero, cherry coke zero. Yeah, when I
Speaker 4: anytime I go to the Universal Machine, I add that
Speaker 4: little dash of cause it's like bright red. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: like coke zero and then just like a stream of
Speaker 4: bright red zyrup going into it. That is uh, unholy, unnatural.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I'm actually gonna call the priest now because I'm
Speaker 4: worried about your about your salvation. I feel like the
Speaker 4: reaction to soda companies, like they're like, people don't buy
Speaker 4: our thing anymore because it's poison and and they're like,
Speaker 4: we have to change the messaging. It kind of feeds
Speaker 4: directly into the Democrats being like, people aren't liking us anymore.
Speaker 4: We have to change the message, Like what can we
Speaker 4: do to change the message?
Speaker 2: It's the inside of it.
Speaker 4: It's no, no, no, no, how do It's the chemical makeup
Speaker 4: at a cellular level.
Speaker 2: What you are is what we find repulsive.
Speaker 4: Not the message. At that company. I met that company
Speaker 4: that sold Pepsi that like twenty million dollar logo redesign
Speaker 4: really make a killing with the DNC right now, Oh
Speaker 4: hell yeah, yeah, that's one of the great Well, well,
Speaker 4: we'll have to link off to with that report of
Speaker 4: the Pepsi logo redesign. I just I feel like it's
Speaker 4: worth linking off to once a year, just to make
Speaker 4: sure nobody loses track of the fact that when Pepsi
Speaker 4: like suddenly changed its logo to like something that was
Speaker 4: like weird, weird looking, kind of looked like a cartoon
Speaker 4: plumber bending over that that was the result of the
Speaker 4: most jam packed full of shit slide deck that you've
Speaker 4: ever seen in your life.
Speaker 2: Like getting into like the jet streams on Earth or
Speaker 2: some shit, you know. Yeah, like here's Earth and here's
Speaker 2: how Pepsi's logo figures into that. Like, Okay, y'all, the
Speaker 2: magnetic polarity is switching and that, and so is Pepsi
Speaker 2: really like wild Ship?
Speaker 3: It's it's that one screen cap of strung out Don Drapert,
Speaker 3: but just in real life with the Pepsi logo. Yeah,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 4: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 4: talk about the news. And we're back. We're back, and
Speaker 4: all right, doctor Phil. This is like the second time
Speaker 4: that doctor Phil's like tried to do tried to be
Speaker 4: your man on the street for ice raids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did in Chicago. Uh, the last we checked
Speaker 2: with him. And this time everyone's like, people, notice, like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck is doctor Phil doing with ice in
Speaker 2: LA And now we have found out because he was
Speaker 2: embedded with the Ice agents over the weekend as they
Speaker 2: hunted down innocent people just trying to live. And a
Speaker 2: lot of this has to do with the fact that,
Speaker 2: first of all, why is he doing it? A Doctor
Speaker 2: Phil is very open. He's part of the Maga cult B.
Speaker 2: He started his own network recently and it is dying
Speaker 2: for cash. So being part of the regime's propaganda apparatus
Speaker 2: is profitable and again aligns with his worldview, so it's
Speaker 2: really win win.
Speaker 4: Is it like Doctor Phil's OTV. Yeah, yeah, it's called
Speaker 4: I Forget.
Speaker 2: It's I forget what.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got this whole thing where he just like
Speaker 2: just like just basic vlogging to camera. But in a
Speaker 2: recent upload to his channel, he was Phil splaining what
Speaker 2: the geheimis stadts POLLITZI was or the Gestoppo.
Speaker 3: For other people who weren't World War two nerds like me.
Speaker 2: And how that's not even close to what's happening with Ice,
Speaker 2: which is very odd. So this came after Governor Tim
Speaker 2: Walls basically said, yeah, I acted like Gestapo out here,
Speaker 2: and Doctor Phil's main point of differentiating was that, like, well,
Speaker 2: Ice is not like summarily like executing people in the
Speaker 2: streets yet that we know it. Yeah, exactly. Again, this
Speaker 2: is so jarring to get to have to hear doctor
Speaker 2: Phil mcgrad try and tell you about the fucking Gestapo
Speaker 2: in this like really heavy handed way that's just such
Speaker 2: like on its face, like the most inelegant propaganda you've
Speaker 2: ever seen. But here I'm gonna play some clips where
Speaker 2: He's just kind of get his audience to be like,
Speaker 2: come on now, Gestapo, come on, y'all. That ate what's happened.
Speaker 2: So here he is first, this is coming. After that,
Speaker 2: he plays a clip of Tim Wall saying, these guys
Speaker 2: are acting like the Gestapo.
Speaker 7: Now that's not just false, it's historically obscene. Why do
Speaker 7: I say that? Well, they were central to the Nazis
Speaker 7: regime of mass murder, torture and genocide. Does that equal ice?
Speaker 7: And if you're sitting there saying yes, sure does? Well?
Speaker 4: Really got my ass? Yeah, so you go well really
Speaker 4: like and if you're over there, yeah, so I see
Speaker 4: the similarities. That's you.
Speaker 2: That's how you said, that's how you sound. It's nothing
Speaker 2: like that. Let me go on with my very well researched,
Speaker 2: uh presentation here, although it's clear he just read off
Speaker 2: a thing like.
Speaker 4: This comparison is the first he had heard of the Gestapo,
Speaker 4: and he.
Speaker 8: Was like finding out about it for the first time.
Speaker 8: Really because here Wikipedia Police arm like exactly, he's clearly
Speaker 8: reading these words the first time. So then he goes
Speaker 8: on to say, what's you know, does this sound anything
Speaker 8: like that?
Speaker 2: Is like, this is what the Gestapo did?
Speaker 4: Is this anything like what's happening today, And it's pretty
Speaker 4: jarring because it almost yeah, it sounds exactly like.
Speaker 7: It Gestapo or state sanctioned terrorist.
Speaker 4: With okay, okay, yep.
Speaker 7: Absolute power, ruthlessly eliminating opposition to the Nazis. Oh, they
Speaker 7: went after leftists intellectually, Jews, trade unions, political clergy, and homosexuals.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So let's see the local SCIU s EIU
Speaker 2: union leader was arrested and detained over the rease they
Speaker 2: did go after trade uar this, They are going after
Speaker 2: people who oppose the current regime. We're seeing a violently
Speaker 2: homophobic campaign unfold in terms of rights for people.
Speaker 3: It actually sounds huh, but this is interesting this okay?
Speaker 2: Is it that?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole thing goes on like really being like
Speaker 2: and unless you're a Holocaust denier, they did really bad
Speaker 2: stuff in the Holocaust. Basically you're like, this has no
Speaker 2: nuance to it, and you're not even contending with what
Speaker 2: people are saying about how violent and dehumanizing these raids are.
Speaker 2: You're just going purely after Tim wal said Gestapo bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I don't know if this is helping the cause,
Speaker 2: but they clearly they must think it is.
Speaker 4: He also emphasized that they put them on trains, right, yeah,
Speaker 4: different than those automobiles. Right yeah, yeah, fy guys, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I do just like, you know, continue wanting wanting to.
Speaker 4: I want to continue underlining, like what these raids look like,
Speaker 4: because I do feel like that is not highlighted enough.
Speaker 4: They're the mainstream media is showing the burning cars and
Speaker 4: you know, people throwing things at the police and just
Speaker 4: not really giving the context. So from the Washington Post
Speaker 4: report on one of the sweeps that the protests were
Speaker 4: reacting to, the immigration sweep spooked many day laborers, who
Speaker 4: said they could not recall another enforcement action in which
Speaker 4: people had been detained so seemingly arbitrarily. Do not love
Speaker 4: the word of spooked, the use of the words spooked
Speaker 4: there like their horses. But a Guatemala mother of two
Speaker 4: was inside a McDonald's that shares the parking lot with
Speaker 4: the home depot when she said she saw numerous agents
Speaker 4: running after men she sees every day but knows only
Speaker 4: by their nicknames. She said she momentarily froze, but then
Speaker 4: began walking in the opposite direction of the agents who
Speaker 4: were detaining food vendors on the sidewalk. They were just
Speaker 4: grabbing people. She said. They don't ask questions. They don't
Speaker 4: know if any of us were in any kind of
Speaker 4: immigration process, which ties into this investigation by cal Matters
Speaker 4: of an earlier raid by the Border Patrol that found
Speaker 4: that of the seventy eight people there rested, seventy seven
Speaker 4: of them had no criminal or immigration history. Yeah, seventy
Speaker 4: seven of seventy eight. They're just going and they just
Speaker 4: got lucky with the one person. They're going and arresting
Speaker 4: brown people like that's that's it, that's all that's happening,
Speaker 4: like indiscriminately.
Speaker 2: There was a there was a mom who was visiting
Speaker 2: from Chile in New York and she got swept up.
Speaker 2: She's like, I'm on the I don't live here, like yeah,
Speaker 2: and like they ripped her apart from her twelve year
Speaker 2: old daughter, who, like a stranger, had to be like, Okay, well,
Speaker 2: I guess I'll stay with you until they figure this out.
Speaker 2: They are again, they're popping out of fucking vehicles and
Speaker 2: just dragging people away in cuffs just based off what
Speaker 2: they fucking look like. And that's what this is. This
Speaker 2: is why people are responding to it. In the way
Speaker 2: they are. But again there's the media is going to
Speaker 2: do a lot or at least the ones that are
Speaker 2: really scared of Donald Trump to be like and you know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of unrest happening in Los Angeles right now,
Speaker 2: rather than really connecting the dots to these people's commune
Speaker 2: unities are are at risk for this kind of violent
Speaker 2: separation from their from their neighbors or families, et cetera. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so doctor Phil doing the fucking Antichrist's work here by
Speaker 2: just by just really giving people as much intellectual cover
Speaker 2: as possible to just deny people's rights or humanity here,
Speaker 2: and like, then now you have more. You're seeing more
Speaker 2: and more quotes from people who are like Latinos for
Speaker 2: Trump voters, who are like this is really bad. Like
Speaker 2: you know, one representative from Florida was like, some of
Speaker 2: the Cuban immigrants who like are in my in my
Speaker 2: community and who I descend from, We're more American than
Speaker 2: Stephen Miller, and this is this is absolutely not what
Speaker 2: we voted for. But I'm i as much as I
Speaker 2: understand your your outrage at seeing this stuff happen, this
Speaker 2: is what they were always talking about from the beginning
Speaker 2: was never going to differentiate the good people from the
Speaker 2: bad people, because I know from maybe their narrow perspective
Speaker 2: as people who are immigrants themselves, were like, well, they're well,
Speaker 2: we're we did it the right way, so sure it
Speaker 2: won't be us. But from the perspective of the people
Speaker 2: who run the actual Republican Party, in those Conservatives, they
Speaker 2: look at it completely differently. They're saying, we need to
Speaker 2: get all the brown people out of here, and there
Speaker 2: is no differentiating and I think that's I guess a
Speaker 2: lesson they're learning in real time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it seems like on top of the racism,
Speaker 3: they're just trying to do numbers. They're just trying to
Speaker 3: say we rounded up X number of people, which is
Speaker 3: even it doesn't really need to rank it. It's just
Speaker 3: also creepy and terrible, like it doesn't help anybody, It
Speaker 3: doesn't do anything for anybody. They can't point to anything
Speaker 3: good this is doing. That's why when they get accused
Speaker 3: of being in the Gestapo, they try to like find
Speaker 3: little historical differences from the Gestapo. Instead of saying like, no,
Speaker 3: it's good, well, they're like, let me find little ways
Speaker 3: the flash cards don't match.
Speaker 2: I think this is why they you know, all that
Speaker 2: pushback too, is because Trump's sort of like approval on
Speaker 2: immigration is better than his first administration, so he, I
Speaker 2: think is also viewing this as like a total green light.
Speaker 2: But when people like but sure, maybe that's one level.
Speaker 2: When you ask people on the street what they think
Speaker 2: of this broad concept of what his immigration policies are,
Speaker 2: but this specifically what's happening, there are very few people
Speaker 2: are fully on board for that. I mean, the true
Speaker 2: cult people are, but other people who like voter were like,
Speaker 2: oh well, not like this, which is unfortunate that people
Speaker 2: didn't read the not even fine print, the bold print
Speaker 2: that was on everything that the campaign was messaging to people.
Speaker 4: On the way to November, the headline thesis statement, yeah,
Speaker 4: like we're going to round up brown people. I'm like,
Speaker 4: do you remember having last time they were caging people?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, like this this isn't what did what
Speaker 2: did you what did you think there's gonna be? Okay,
Speaker 2: we learned our lesson Now we're going to be really
Speaker 2: efficient now and how we target people to completely you know,
Speaker 2: take rip from their communities.
Speaker 3: But not like the gestapoo inefficient, inefficient, ladder Red tape.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, I mean, like I'm just looking at it there.
Speaker 2: It's not even spelled the same. It's just that they
Speaker 2: were in Germany, you know. It's just it just doesn't
Speaker 2: make sense, you know. And like Herman Gurring is dead,
Speaker 2: so it's not like Herman Gurring is the one behind this.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: It's Tom Holman and Christino very different.
Speaker 3: We don't even have anybody named Hermann. That name is
Speaker 3: way out of fashion. My gosh, Herman. You know how
Speaker 3: many baby Herman's. There are very few her not enough
Speaker 3: if you ask me.
Speaker 4: Yeahs out there, Yeah, all right. In the continued fallout
Speaker 4: from Donald Trump and Elon mus breaking up, the Democratic
Speaker 4: Party has chosen the wrong message, at least some in
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party and are like, wait a second, that guy.
Speaker 4: I just I'm constantly reminded of this anecdote. I heard
Speaker 4: Democratic operative Dan Pfeiffer talking about, like I think he
Speaker 4: was talking about like the problem with democratic politics as
Speaker 4: it currently operates. But he was like, this is how
Speaker 4: it operates. Someone says they want to run for office,
Speaker 4: You take their phone from them, You look through the contexts,
Speaker 4: and you total up how much the net worth is
Speaker 4: of all the people you see on their contexts, and
Speaker 4: that's how you determine yeah, okay they have a shot
Speaker 4: or not. Like so that's he I think he was like,
Speaker 4: that's not good, and it really isn't. But it does
Speaker 4: provide some helpful context for why people the second deal
Speaker 4: on Musk like insults Donald Trump. They're like just seeing
Speaker 4: like literally their eyes are turning into dollar signs.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, like the cartoons just salivating suddenly, like
Speaker 2: they have a forking knife in their hands and like
Speaker 2: a little napkin around their collar neck. It's so fucking
Speaker 2: pathetic that they are.
Speaker 4: Just like, wait, money bags needs a new place to
Speaker 4: rest his little Nazi head.
Speaker 2: Well, come over here, please. We would love that because
Speaker 2: I guess in their minds are like, well, the reason
Speaker 2: we lost is like.
Speaker 3: Elon Musk back Trump, Like that's the reason too.
Speaker 2: Like so if so facto transitive property, if we have
Speaker 2: Elon Musk our side, we win. I think that's pretty clear.
Speaker 2: That's pretty clear math right there. Rokana said that the
Speaker 2: Democrats quote should be in dialogue with Musk and try
Speaker 2: to convince him that quote the Democratic Party has more
Speaker 2: of the values that he agrees with, does it, I
Speaker 2: mean such.
Speaker 4: A cell phone, yeah, or just or.
Speaker 2: Just telling on themselves for sure. You're like, oh, so, okay,
Speaker 2: well who else is that?
Speaker 4: Richie Torres said, Uh, I'm a believer in redemption, and
Speaker 4: that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 4: I like a good Hollywood story. And Elon Musk in
Speaker 4: many ways is an underdog, right the richest man in
Speaker 4: the world who was born like inheriting a fucking diamond
Speaker 4: mind like that. That's diamond mine, not diamond mind. That's
Speaker 4: what I've got after take it, taking nutraceuticals. But Elon
Speaker 4: Musk inherited a fucking an emerald mind, and he he
Speaker 4: just needs to be redeemed. Yeah, he just needs to
Speaker 4: join the Avengers, you know, like Vision did, and that's
Speaker 4: and we can all move on.
Speaker 2: That's that's what we do. We just need him to
Speaker 2: turn to the right side. Yeah, it's I think it's
Speaker 2: really concerning that they talk so like that, as if
Speaker 2: this is normal that you want the wealthiest man on
Speaker 2: the planet who is just an avowed Nazi out loud
Speaker 2: with everything they do, being like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's okay, just just go yeah, money yeah, money, okay,
Speaker 2: And I think exposes how the Democrats have no actual
Speaker 2: values that they stand on, Like if being a Nazi
Speaker 2: is a non starter to be in the Democratic establishment,
Speaker 2: then there's really nothing to talk about here, regardless of
Speaker 2: how much money you have. But the fact that that
Speaker 2: isn't a non starter interesting because white you know, white
Speaker 2: supremacy is tolerated among the Democrats if you have money,
Speaker 2: clearly is how I'm reading this, And they can look
Speaker 2: past the Nazi shit because he has cash. That's a
Speaker 2: slippery slope. Books, that's a slippery slope you don't want
Speaker 2: to really be on, because what happens when he just
Speaker 2: turns on you inevitably Already he already pretended like.
Speaker 3: He was like a liberal person who gave a fuck
Speaker 3: about Pride Month or fucking electric vehicles. No, he's just
Speaker 3: a sociopath chasing money, and they'll say whatever he.
Speaker 4: Needs to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, Yeah, I thought, like, especially after these
Speaker 3: two guys broke up, everybody should be aware that Trump
Speaker 3: and Musk are like the two leading betrayal guys. Yeah
Speaker 3: in American society, Like they're the two leading guys who
Speaker 3: will betray you.
Speaker 4: Another betrayal since twenty twelve.
Speaker 3: You really don't see them split up and say one
Speaker 3: of the betrayal guys, it'll work for us betrayal.
Speaker 2: Guys, Yeah, what's Trump doing not betray us?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Trump's pretty into the thing he's got going over there.
Speaker 2: So I don't think we can. I don't think we
Speaker 2: can pinch him off from that one. But maybe Musk,
Speaker 2: maybe Musk.
Speaker 4: Like again, what is really the difference here at a
Speaker 4: cellular level if either party is willing to court Musk
Speaker 4: and all the bullshit that comes with it.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not saying every person in the Democratic Party
Speaker 2: is like we need to bring because plenty are like,
Speaker 2: absolutely fucking not. But like, the people that are thinking
Speaker 2: like this are the app Like, these are the people
Speaker 2: that serve as the biggest obstructions to a lot of
Speaker 2: things happening within the Democratic Party because they're thinking is
Speaker 2: completely skewed by this other version of how things unfold.
Speaker 4: I mean, we saw when Harris took over the presidential
Speaker 4: ticket started with seemingly some policies that might be like
Speaker 4: populous or progressive, and then immediately it became like a
Speaker 4: thing of like how do we get Dick Cheney to
Speaker 4: approve to you know, like how do we hitch our
Speaker 4: wag into Dick Cheney. It's just like they and that
Speaker 4: didn't even have like logic or like money tied to it.
Speaker 4: That was just their logic of like we broader tent,
Speaker 4: bigger tent type shit. So like, yeah, there's never gonna
Speaker 4: be a situation where someone's like too fucked up for
Speaker 4: the Democrats to put inside with them. I don't know,
Speaker 4: basicly be like does he answer our calls?
Speaker 2: Right? And I don't know what they thought would happen
Speaker 2: with the supporters who are like the oppressed wing of
Speaker 2: your your voting base when you welcome the oppressors into
Speaker 2: the tent too, And don't think that's going to be
Speaker 2: like have some kind of repulsive effect that we're gonna
Speaker 2: love it. Yeah, no, it's so chilled. We're so chill.
Speaker 4: The people that are the architects of your torment are
Speaker 4: also into what we're doing. Isn't that cool?
Speaker 2: You fuck with that?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Oh no, okay, So the messaging was wrong. There's the messaging.
Speaker 2: We should have messaged that better. That's on us. That's
Speaker 2: on us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that and and I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 3: It's like not every single Democrat because it's true that
Speaker 3: like they're a that are speaking out against this kind
Speaker 3: of thing. And there's one exciting congressional candidate in Illinois
Speaker 3: named Katazol who her website has an anti endorsement section
Speaker 3: and the top anti endorsement is Elon Musk, who's like
Speaker 3: been harassing her online since she was an employee of
Speaker 3: Media Matters. And you know, like it's very possible to
Speaker 3: be a Democrat and try to have some consistent principles,
Speaker 3: and some of them do that and the rest are
Speaker 3: just like trying to make consulting money or something.
Speaker 2: With Kat, you know, she's completely outside of the establishment,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like she her her worldview
Speaker 2: is almost antithetical what the Democratic Party stands for. And
Speaker 2: I think that's why people are so excited too about
Speaker 2: her candidacy.
Speaker 4: Well Man Cat came on our podcast. I said, Cat,
Speaker 4: let me look at that phone, Let me look at
Speaker 4: those I've never heard it, not one of these a
Speaker 4: billionaire cat. You fail in, big time loser. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: that's such a funny quote from that guy. As Fifers.
Speaker 4: Something is also just like.
Speaker 3: The concept of someone taking my phone and looking at
Speaker 3: my contact list is very invasive to be like just
Speaker 3: in a fundamental way, like that's not how humans operate.
Speaker 3: I don't like it, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: And sometimes it's probably been literal and other times probably figuratively,
Speaker 2: where they're like, hey, can you just send us a
Speaker 2: list of like your richest friends, just doing kind of
Speaker 2: vibe chuck you really quick, so taking oligarch check really quick,
Speaker 2: and if.
Speaker 4: You have any fun nicknames for them, just like like
Speaker 4: in the nickname section of the contacts. That's just like
Speaker 4: for our entertainment because otherwise our job is soul destroying.
Speaker 4: So right, that would be really helpful. Thanks. All right,
Speaker 4: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 4: And we're back. Do we want to talk about this
Speaker 4: is too much? The Democrats being bad at this shit?
Speaker 2: I mean it's like, yeah, I mean they're always gonna
Speaker 2: be bad at this. It's we can talk abouts turned
Speaker 2: down the role for Hans Solo. He did, yeah, what, okay,
Speaker 2: this is fun? So yeah, yeah. He recently he just
Speaker 2: an entertainment weekly. He was promoting his new movie The Ritual,
Speaker 2: and people were like, he in this comes up? He said, quote,
Speaker 2: I said, I think I'm in the mood to make
Speaker 2: Harrison forward a career, like like laughing about it, and
Speaker 2: he talks about how he was like, you know, you know,
Speaker 2: hanging with the movie brats like Coppola, Spielberg, George Lucas,
Speaker 2: and he said, quote, they were real idealists coming into
Speaker 2: seventies with great films all over the globe. And he
Speaker 2: goes this article says, but when Pacino received the Star
Speaker 2: Wars script and read it over, he said, it felt
Speaker 2: like he was reading quote a different language from Patino.
Speaker 2: I love their work, but I was doing a show
Speaker 2: on Broadway at the time and they handed me the
Speaker 2: script and I thought, I don't under stand. I must
Speaker 2: be an outer space myself.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Then he reached out to friend and mentor Charlie Lotton,
Speaker 2: asking him, what do you make of this quote? He
Speaker 2: was pretty wise, and he said, I don't get it out.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't get it. I said, well,
Speaker 2: I don't either.
Speaker 4: I don't get it out. Now, I don't know.
Speaker 10: I don't get it. I said, well, I don't either.
Speaker 10: What are we gonna do? They offered me a fortune,
Speaker 10: but I don't know. No, I get played so far
Speaker 10: Charlie's ass.
Speaker 2: He said, no, I can't play something if I don't
Speaker 2: speak the language, uh, and passed on it, and apparently
Speaker 2: that's when Harrison Ford got the call. And even Harrison
Speaker 2: Ford said, quote, He's like, it does seem odd like
Speaker 2: there's a seven foot tall man in a dog suit,
Speaker 2: like you know if that's the first thing.
Speaker 3: Harrison Ford was so mean about the movie when he
Speaker 3: was making it.
Speaker 4: I remember like quotes from this from like the Cracked
Speaker 4: Days where he was like, George, you can type this shit,
Speaker 4: but you can't say it, like it's terrible, like that
Speaker 4: had the improviser around a bunch of the dialogue, and
Speaker 4: back then George Lucas was not a person who just
Speaker 4: like was a billionaire like corporation, you know, in and
Speaker 4: of himself and like wouldn't listen to anything anybody said
Speaker 4: to him. So he took studio notes and actor notes,
Speaker 4: and then we got to see in the prequels, like
Speaker 4: what it looks like, what that initial dialogue looked like.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I also like that Harrison Ford was saying that when
Speaker 3: Harrison Ford was like an unknown carpenter two seconds ago,
Speaker 3: like he's not a famous person going Auto Star Wars
Speaker 3: and he could just.
Speaker 4: Do that still did not give a fuck.
Speaker 2: Got the part.
Speaker 4: He got the part over Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell and
Speaker 4: Burt Reynolds. Damn, I mean that's what he was up.
Speaker 2: It's just funny now to think of all the other
Speaker 2: universes where one of these guys just the slight tweak
Speaker 2: to our multi verses.
Speaker 4: God, where it's Lester Stallone as it's real bad man
Speaker 4: things up, there's probably no Empire strikes back.
Speaker 2: If Sylvester Stallone is in a New Hope, peop will
Speaker 2: be like, what the fuck was this? There was a
Speaker 2: guy in a dog's suit and he's like, we know
Speaker 2: what you're doing, sister.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he would have demanded that he get to put
Speaker 4: some of his jokes in. Yeah, Lester Salons always has
Speaker 4: has notes. Oh no, I think I'm a pretty humorous guy,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Wait, when did the first Rocky come out? Is that
Speaker 2: what that would have been before seventy six?
Speaker 4: Off?
Speaker 2: This is basically either wild Rocky is coming out or
Speaker 2: something Wow, that would have been wild to go from
Speaker 2: Rocky then a New Hope look at you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sly happen. The one thing with Pacino, if Pachino
Speaker 3: was on, I do like the scene better where Lucas
Speaker 3: rescuing layout of that prison sound Lea says you're a
Speaker 3: little short for a storm trooper and.
Speaker 11: Then a really short Han solo comes up little you know,
Speaker 11: just the position with him and fucking Chewy, Like this
Speaker 11: is the best odd couple I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, that probably, I guess. So with Pacino, Wow,
Speaker 2: what is it? What happens?
Speaker 4: Does it make the like two prestige to have Pacino
Speaker 4: in there? Yeah? It might win the Academy Award for
Speaker 4: Best Picture and then everybody gets up there and ass
Speaker 4: real quick and it probably Empire is not quite as good.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, never told me the odds, Like what do
Speaker 2: you think he's gonna say it?
Speaker 10: Like it's a ship that made the Kessel run in
Speaker 10: less than twelve par six so fun.
Speaker 4: Like they were doing nineties Pacino.
Speaker 9: And yeah, yeah, yeah it has to be. It's sentible,
Speaker 9: sentable woman Pacino. I'm feeling about this. She's passing up
Speaker 9: for you, old man.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Stupid, Oh man.
Speaker 3: There's so also Pacino frozen and carbon Might I just
Speaker 3: need that somebody drive a really good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he would have brought a mustache to it or
Speaker 4: something because it was like Surplico era, you know, like
Speaker 4: maybe a bird or something. Oh yeah, you know what else?
Speaker 4: Sylvester Stallone said no to that, like gave us one
Speaker 4: of our that would have had he said yes, it
Speaker 4: would have ruined. One of our greatest films of the
Speaker 4: eighties is Beverly Hills Cop. That was like a Stallone good.
Speaker 2: God, yeah again, thank God we're not in that universe.
Speaker 4: It was he like wanted it to be more like
Speaker 4: gritty and violent, and so Cobra is what ended up
Speaker 4: being his vision for Beverly Hills Cop. And the people
Speaker 4: who were making Beverly Hills Cop were like, okay, and like,
Speaker 4: with two weeks to go, we're like, let's try Eddie
Speaker 4: Murphy in this movie that we've already basically made. And
Speaker 4: then Eddie Murphy came through and gave it a reason
Speaker 4: for existing.
Speaker 2: Jesus. All I remember from that movie was that wacky
Speaker 2: ass machine gun he had on the cover, like the
Speaker 2: poster for that, I'm like, what the cover is this ship?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 3: Is that the one where Stallone eats pizza with like
Speaker 3: a knife and fork by himself or something a scissor maybe,
Speaker 3: or a scissor a scissor.
Speaker 4: That's yeah, Yeah, he's like I got like this guy
Speaker 4: is like kind of a unique individual. You know, he's like.
Speaker 2: That's doing this, the doing the old country. They'll foll
Speaker 2: the slices. That's turning into net and Yahoo.
Speaker 12: The similar who wast and Yahoo almost played Rocky And then.
Speaker 4: You know, Adrian also in the world of film, just
Speaker 4: wanted to talk about the news from over the weekend
Speaker 4: that Sinners, which we were still still waiting to see
Speaker 4: if this was going to be a success or not.
Speaker 2: You know, they still I don't know, I don't know why.
Speaker 4: We talked about the first weekend that it came out
Speaker 4: and like people were like, you see like a modest
Speaker 4: twenty five million dollar bal for Sears. Yeah, and then
Speaker 4: it like you know, destroyed that, like did incredibly well,
Speaker 4: like blew everybody's expectations out of the water. And the
Speaker 4: Hollywood Reporter or like one of those trade publications that
Speaker 4: Monday was like, Sinners does well, but it's got a
Speaker 4: long way to go before it reaches profitability. It just
Speaker 4: became so over the weekend it crossed the three hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty million dollar mark each and has become the
Speaker 4: decade's most profitable film based on original material, most profitable
Speaker 4: the thing that they were like, well, you know they
Speaker 4: they spent a little bit of money on this one.
Speaker 4: Uh so this guy's a bit of a hothead. I
Speaker 4: don't know if he wants to go hot dogging around
Speaker 4: after one weekend saying that he made a lot of
Speaker 4: money because it's might not even be profitable. Most profitable
Speaker 4: film based on original material.
Speaker 3: Wow, Jesus, that was a good movie.
Speaker 2: What did what did you guys see?
Speaker 3: Recently? I'm behind what did you guys see?
Speaker 2: We saw? Can we talking about it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? We for for a possible sponsorship. We saw f one. Yeah,
Speaker 4: as a car driver, as a race car, I saw.
Speaker 2: Now you're talking about tires. Yeah it was fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a loon insisted I'm playing an Italian makeup car
Speaker 3: and had Lamborghini.
Speaker 4: I want something not something he always insisted on, as
Speaker 4: we saw with Scarface. You know, sometimes sometimes he didn't
Speaker 4: insist on only speaking his native language. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 4: get caught with a little too much dip on your chip.
Speaker 4: There al what I saw? I saw sinners, I saw friendship,
Speaker 4: enjoyed friendship. There's a lot of good I.
Speaker 2: Heard Connor O'Malley has one of my friends that Connor
Speaker 2: O'Malley is the best throwaway line of dialogue ever. Like
Speaker 2: you said, he's like so much. He's like, but there's
Speaker 2: one thing I'm not even telling you. It's like Connor
Speaker 2: O'Malley fucking split me in half with laughter, with just
Speaker 2: a fucking yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's my favorite part of the movie. But it's
Speaker 4: like such a stupid background, purely Connor.
Speaker 6: Great.
Speaker 3: How about you, Alex, Well, you see anything good lately?
Speaker 3: We saw an old movie as just like a screening.
Speaker 3: There's a Hitchcock movie called Notorious. It's great, it's amazing.
Speaker 2: The notis BG.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that movie called Notorious Elfred Hitchcock's Notorious BG. It's
Speaker 3: a It's like a very romantic spy trailer with Carrie
Speaker 3: Grant and Ingrid Bernie Men totally out of my head.
Speaker 3: There you go, thank you.
Speaker 2: And it was great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was really good. Yeah, Okay, so not the
Speaker 3: two thousand Centers is the best new movie I've seen lately.
Speaker 3: I kind of want to see Superman. One of the
Speaker 3: ways I'm like secretly two hundred years old is I
Speaker 3: like Superman a lot. And so the Superman movie is
Speaker 3: probably exciting.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I I love like that that is in there,
Speaker 13: like deep in my film going DNA is like having
Speaker 13: watched Superman.
Speaker 4: I think like my grandparents might have had it on
Speaker 4: VHS or something, and so I watched it like a
Speaker 4: hundred times. Like around the time of that, I've watched
Speaker 4: Jaws one hundred times and I but I'm like, that's
Speaker 4: the one movie where I'm like a little like bitch movie.
Speaker 4: Like I'm just like, I don't know. This guy doesn't
Speaker 4: have the Christopher Reeve stuff like I don't. I don't
Speaker 4: like when he's like back to work, that's not my Superman.
Speaker 4: He seems too harried. But there's something about the performance
Speaker 4: in the trailer that I'm not liking. But everybody around
Speaker 4: me is like, we got to see this.
Speaker 3: This looks fun, and so I will be going to
Speaker 3: probably like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a dog that super dog. Why not?
Speaker 4: I even really liked Superman Returns The Brandon Route one, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was pretty good. I thought they liked But that
Speaker 4: one specifically was designed to capture the energy of the original,
Speaker 4: Like Christopher Reeves one. It's like they made it a
Speaker 4: sequel to the second Christopher reeves one. They were like
Speaker 4: nothing else, none of the rest of this shit happened.
Speaker 2: Please, just funny, like those tapes that your grandparents have
Speaker 2: that like you get baby sets so you just mainline
Speaker 2: the same, like okay, so over and over. One of
Speaker 2: them for me is my grandparents always had. I didn't
Speaker 2: want to keep watching Roots because they have Roots the
Speaker 2: whole box set. I was like, please, y'all, like I've
Speaker 2: seen I know, thank you. The other one I had,
Speaker 2: The Gods must be crazy too. Oh yeah, okay, I
Speaker 2: watched that ship so many times. I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: the most backwards fucking movie, like like what the fuck
Speaker 2: is this? But anyway, yeah, the gods must be crazy?
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4: A coke bottle falls out of a plane and like
Speaker 4: a tribe like starts worshiping it. Is that the Yeah,
Speaker 4: like they were under the idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and they're fighting over like the bottle too,
Speaker 2: because like it's like this, that's the first one. God's
Speaker 2: must be crazy. Number one is where the coke bottle
Speaker 2: comes down, uh, and then they all start fighting over
Speaker 2: the new magical technology of the coke bottle.
Speaker 4: And then part two is like there's like geopolitical implications. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just like the world.
Speaker 2: The worst vehicle for like any kind of actual message
Speaker 2: dealing with the world or anything with Africa or.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like racism, right, That's what it feels like.
Speaker 4: Well, and it's funny too because like it's kind of
Speaker 4: there's this sort of like you know, like my black
Speaker 4: grandparents loved it. They're like this shit, like they thought
Speaker 4: it was hilarious because I think in this weird way too,
Speaker 4: like as African Americans you kind of other African people too.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like, oh, wow, looking at what they're
Speaker 4: doing over there. Ha ha ha ha.
Speaker 2: And then now you're like, no, no, no, this is
Speaker 2: what what were we laughing at?
Speaker 4: Made this movie? And why were they laughing? A good
Speaker 4: question to ask on the gods must be crazy? Oh,
Speaker 4: just a South African man who was behind the film?
