Speaker 1: Hello, it'saw us on the side. What's up. I'm gandhi
Speaker 1: from Elvis Durant in the Morning Show, and I'm with
Speaker 1: like girl Diamond there, Hi.
Speaker 2: Good morning. Wow.
Speaker 1: Two seconds ago you were just saying something else crazy
Speaker 1: and in a completely different tone, and then the mic
Speaker 1: comes on and she's Hi, amazing. You got fake it
Speaker 1: till you make it? Yeah, I think you've made it,
Speaker 1: my love really, Yeah, doesn't you feel like it right now?
Speaker 1: Why what's going on?
Speaker 2: Oh? I don't really want to sound like a complainer,
Speaker 2: but my check was short.
Speaker 1: In this economy, my check was check being short is
Speaker 1: wildly important.
Speaker 2: Yes, and then I overpaid my credit card, so it's
Speaker 2: just your check was short. Yeah. So it's like a
Speaker 2: mix of just like the good thing about it, the
Speaker 2: silver lining, whatever, the bright side, whatever the hippies say,
Speaker 2: is like, at least you had the money that you
Speaker 2: overpaid with, right, So like, okay, great, I didn't overdraft
Speaker 2: or anything like that. But now she's on a very
Speaker 2: strict budget for the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: Well, and it is what it is. But you know, okay,
Speaker 1: there's a couple things to unpack. Their one. I like
Speaker 1: that you associate positivity with hippies. Oh they're happy fucking
Speaker 1: hippy shit.
Speaker 2: What is this? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But two, if you overpaid your credit card, then can
Speaker 1: you not use your credit card if you need to?
Speaker 1: Well in these next couple of weeks. I'm just paid
Speaker 1: off immediately, so you're not hitting that interest.
Speaker 2: I don't want to open that door.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's go free.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try. I've been trying to only use cash
Speaker 2: because I don't know what I did at the end
Speaker 2: of last year. I don't know. I was just free,
Speaker 2: bawling and living my fucking life. Great for me, honestly,
Speaker 2: don't regret it at all. The world is mom exactly.
Speaker 2: I think. You know what, if I look at my
Speaker 2: if I track my spending from the first week of
Speaker 2: November to now, I'm almost positive that I thought I
Speaker 2: was gonna die within the next month, and I was like,
Speaker 2: fuck it, I'm just gonna buy whatever I was and that.
Speaker 1: Death is right around the corner every day anymore. I
Speaker 1: have started joining these like grassroots organization because there are
Speaker 1: things that are just driving me insane. And I'm the
Speaker 1: person that says I'm not just gonna sit here and
Speaker 1: complain about it. I'm gonna get up, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do something. I am telling you now, I will take
Speaker 1: time off work and I will lay my body down
Speaker 1: in front of bulldozers if anyone tries to start touching
Speaker 1: these national parks. I have been so stressed out about
Speaker 1: so many things that are happening right now. Every executive
Speaker 1: order is stupider than the one before it. No one's
Speaker 1: putting any thought into this. People are trying to make
Speaker 1: it left and right. And we've talked about this so
Speaker 1: many times. It's not that it's the rich against the poor,
Speaker 1: and the poor are like, yes, tax us, tax the bar.
Speaker 1: It's so weird. But a lot of this stuff which
Speaker 1: we've talked about, it's gonna get tied up in legislation,
Speaker 1: so it's not immediate danger. But when you take a
Speaker 1: bunch of regulations away from the national parks and there
Speaker 1: are people living there and there's trash there that accumulates
Speaker 1: and trails don't get taken care of, there is immediate
Speaker 1: danger to that. And you know how close they are
Speaker 1: to my soul. It just makes me very sad. So
Speaker 1: I've reached out to some people and they hooked me
Speaker 1: up with some groups that are fascinating, really yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean it is really sad, I think. So we talked
Speaker 2: about this on the show off the show, but like
Speaker 2: ignorance is really bliss right, So like if we wouldn't
Speaker 2: have gone on these trips, I wouldn't care about what
Speaker 2: was going on in the national parks. I'd be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's sad. People are losing their jobs and that really
Speaker 2: makes me sad for people because they won't have money.
Speaker 2: But when you think about what's going to happen in
Speaker 2: these parks from these people not being able to just
Speaker 2: do like we're not talking about people just walking through
Speaker 2: the parks and getting paid to just sit around at parks. No,
Speaker 2: you know, they're actually doing things that make our lives
Speaker 2: easier and better. So it's sad. It's really sad actually.
Speaker 1: And our country better and protecting these lands that you
Speaker 1: know will get trucked in a heartbeat if they could.
Speaker 1: And the thing that kills me about all of it is,
Speaker 1: and we can go on about this for days, but
Speaker 1: people are really worried about these like tiny little oh
Speaker 1: people taking advantage of snap benefits or food stamps or
Speaker 1: you know, Grandma Carolin are sixty five dollars a day
Speaker 1: while they're subsidizing billions of dollars for bullshit that is
Speaker 1: not getting anything done. And when you talk about firing
Speaker 1: a bunch of park rangers, people who are not making
Speaker 1: a ton of money, Nobody who became a park ranger
Speaker 1: was like, I am doing this so that I can
Speaker 1: become a millionaire, Because they don't. They all do it
Speaker 1: out of the goodness of their heart and passion. They
Speaker 1: care about the land, they care about the animals, They're
Speaker 1: doing good work. It's hard to even become a park ranger.
Speaker 1: The things that they have to do, it's crazy. And
Speaker 1: then to just come in and be like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: don't need you. As matter of fact, maybe we start
Speaker 1: privatizing this land. Can you imagine a house in the
Speaker 1: middle of Glacier Park.
Speaker 2: No, that's so sad.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't let even't.
Speaker 2: I mean, but this just opens up a beer conversation
Speaker 2: that I'm always ready for. But I don't think a
Speaker 2: lot of other people are doing just the fact that
Speaker 2: like the areas outside of the national parks are going
Speaker 2: to get hit the worst, yeah, or the most. And
Speaker 2: we encountered a lot of these people, yes, and these
Speaker 2: are the people who have Trump signs outside of their homes,
Speaker 2: and they like really believed and still probably believe that
Speaker 2: this administration cares about them and the way that their
Speaker 2: worlds are going to crumble. I hate Like I listened
Speaker 2: to a podcast the other day about the fact that like, yes,
Speaker 2: fuck around and find out, like we feel good saying it,
Speaker 2: but nobody really, like nobody with a heart really wants
Speaker 2: to see people.
Speaker 1: I really don't want to actually see people suffer, but.
Speaker 2: A lot of people are going to and like we
Speaker 2: have to mentally prepare ourselves for the fact that we're
Speaker 2: going to see them suffer, and we, as nice people,
Speaker 2: are going to feel bad, but we have to remember
Speaker 2: that they cause.
Speaker 1: This, right, You can't help people who don't want to
Speaker 1: help themselves. No, So when the hurricane came through Tampa recently,
Speaker 1: whose name I'm blanking on, but it was a big
Speaker 1: one and my dad wouldn't leave.
Speaker 2: Well, yes, I can't remember the name either. I want
Speaker 2: to say Helene, but that wasn't home.
Speaker 1: That was North Cairlyleen, No, it was Helene.
Speaker 2: Helene was North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Look at us, Do you think I knew? I don't
Speaker 1: know the big one that just hit Tampa, And like
Speaker 1: decimated things. I was begging my dad not to go back.
Speaker 1: He was here with me. He went back into the
Speaker 1: hurricane zone. In his head, he's like, I've lived in
Speaker 1: Florida forever. These things don't ever happen. It's a very
Speaker 1: fluoridian of him to be doing that. That's how it
Speaker 1: has always been, like, even when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: they don't leave, like we stay in Florida. There's a
Speaker 1: hurricane coming, I'm starter than the hurricane. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: So he did that thing, and in my head, I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what I wish. I don't want
Speaker 1: his house to get wiped out, because that too would
Speaker 1: be my house and then guess what my dad's'ld be
Speaker 1: living with me and a fuck no. But I also
Speaker 1: just don't want anything bad to happen to him. But
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, it would be a real
Speaker 1: shame that power got knocked out for like three or
Speaker 1: four hours, just enough to scare the shit out of here,
Speaker 1: are you Yeah, but not actually do anything or you know,
Speaker 1: like maybe a couple of shingles come off the roof,
Speaker 1: maybe like a window cracks doesn't break crack.
Speaker 2: When you hear a little rocket the window and you're nervous. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: did glass really shouter?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Is my life almost over?
Speaker 1: Just enough to scare him enough, like a good enough
Speaker 1: scare that he'd be like, you know, I should rethink
Speaker 1: my decisions. I would like that to happen to a
Speaker 1: lot of people because now we all have to find
Speaker 1: out as a team, and I'm not excited about that.
Speaker 1: So to your ignorance is bliss thing. Your question was
Speaker 1: great and I loved it. You post a question what life?
Speaker 1: Would you rather have?
Speaker 2: A life where you are where you have access to
Speaker 2: great things, but you complain about every little thing. I mean,
Speaker 2: like you see and are exposed to people who make
Speaker 2: a lot of money and have lavish lifestyles and you're
Speaker 2: really close to it and you know or like you
Speaker 2: have it, but every little thing, any little inconvenience, bothers
Speaker 2: you or you feel like it's like the world is ending,
Speaker 2: I e. Me overpaying a credit card, Like it's not
Speaker 2: that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.
Speaker 2: Would you rather live a life where you don't know
Speaker 2: how hard your life is and you're just living life
Speaker 2: because you think that this is just what it is.
Speaker 2: Like you hear people say Oh, that's life. Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it is, but like life is really hard for a
Speaker 2: lot of people. Yeah, but a lot of them don't
Speaker 2: complain about it because this is all they know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I think I'd rather have that life
Speaker 2: where like I'm trucking it and like busting my ass
Speaker 2: for a paycheck that some people think is nothing, probably,
Speaker 2: but like this is all I know. You find happiness
Speaker 2: to pay all my bills, I'm able to have a
Speaker 2: little bit left over to eat and just be happy
Speaker 2: and like and.
Speaker 1: Those things very joy, like actual joy, hanging out with
Speaker 1: your family, being able to have like a cookout and
Speaker 1: a party, a backyard party. That stuff was great. I
Speaker 1: was sort of telling you this that until I moved here,
Speaker 1: there was so much about decadence and luxury and excess
Speaker 1: that I had never been exposed to. Now keep in mind,
Speaker 1: I didn't do some growing up in South Florida, so
Speaker 1: it's not like I hadn't seen it, but it was
Speaker 1: sort of just all this illusion that was on the
Speaker 1: other side of a fence. It wasn't attainable for me.
Speaker 1: Every now and then, we would like party on someone's
Speaker 1: yacht that we shouldn't be on because it was parked
Speaker 1: at the dock, you know what I mean. But it
Speaker 1: was never like our thing. Now I'm around all of
Speaker 1: this stuff and all of these people, and I don't
Speaker 1: actually want these things, but I know that there is
Speaker 1: this perception of me still being mildly trashy compared to
Speaker 1: everyone else thinks just because I don't care about these
Speaker 1: things and I don't have these things, and a lot
Speaker 1: of things I don't even know. Like when I first
Speaker 1: moved here, they were talking about how they gave Thomas
Speaker 1: Rhett a gift. I think it was Thomas Rhett and
Speaker 1: it was Fendy, and they showed me a label and
Speaker 1: they're like, look up the price of whatever. And I
Speaker 1: didn't even know what to look up because I didn't
Speaker 1: know what the label was because I don't I'm so
Speaker 1: far removed from all of these things. I didn't know
Speaker 1: what I didn't know.
Speaker 2: But that's a blessing, it is, like it really is.
Speaker 2: I think that the problems completely different because like I
Speaker 2: grew up in the city, right, so, like everyone that
Speaker 2: I knew, no matter what their bank accounts looked like,
Speaker 2: were coming into the city and buying whatever they wanted
Speaker 2: and could afford, even if it was their very last
Speaker 2: and like, you grow up thinking that you have to
Speaker 2: have specific things when honestly, I look at so many
Speaker 2: other people who grew up in other places where these
Speaker 2: things don't fucking matter, and I'm like.
Speaker 1: They don't matter.
Speaker 2: I have this because why did it take me so
Speaker 2: long to like really realize that none of this shit
Speaker 2: really matters? And then I'm still battling it because I'll
Speaker 2: say really hard for something that I feel like, you
Speaker 2: know what, I've worked hard enough. I deserve it. But
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, I get it, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, it's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 1: I look at so many things and I do the
Speaker 1: cost calculation of what else could I get with this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're talking about a Chanelle bag. It's like five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars on the lower end, and I calculate how
Speaker 1: many times I could see my sister or if I
Speaker 1: could take a trip with my sister to do something fun,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that bag is not worth it to me.
Speaker 2: Sure, that's smart. I need to start doing that.
Speaker 1: But I also did this thing I taught my friend
Speaker 1: the other day because he bought like an led plant
Speaker 1: that was like three hundred dollars. He's like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like a stupid excessive spend, and
Speaker 1: I said, I mean it is. But also, how long
Speaker 1: is that thing supposed to last? He said? Years? I'm like, so,
Speaker 1: if every day you turn it on and it brings
Speaker 1: you joy every single day, you basically paid a dollar
Speaker 1: a day for a year of that, you would do that, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not that bad.
Speaker 1: I don't think that any of these bags or luxury
Speaker 1: items bring me that joy. Yeah, And I'm not judging
Speaker 1: anybody else if it does. I'm just saying for me,
Speaker 1: it doesn't. For me, what brought me a lot of
Speaker 1: joy was spending money to fly out to Montana and
Speaker 1: see Glacier National Park, which there was stuff there that
Speaker 1: I just can't even imagine existed in this country, and
Speaker 1: it was kind of a secret. I hope it stays
Speaker 1: that way. No, I don't want people to go up
Speaker 1: in there and trash it, not when we're struggling to
Speaker 1: have staff take care of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I kind of want people to go and
Speaker 2: see it and realize the importance of these parks and
Speaker 2: like how great that is.
Speaker 1: Let's protect them first before we unleash the crowds.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I know, I'm terrified.
Speaker 1: It's a terrifying time. But I also read and I
Speaker 1: think this is really important that right now, as we know,
Speaker 1: it's a very well studied, well researched phenomenon of when
Speaker 1: you overwhelm people, you will make them give up. So
Speaker 1: if you hit people with a thousand psychotic executive orders,
Speaker 1: you're gonna push a lot of people to a point
Speaker 1: of I can't do anything about anything. Fuck it, I quit.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything. That's untrue. If you focus on
Speaker 1: three that are really important to you, and you join
Speaker 1: the organizations that are gonna do something to look out
Speaker 1: for them, you can. We can, all of us make
Speaker 1: a difference. It's going to happen. The numbers are on
Speaker 1: our side. Really, the bodies absolutely, Okay, yes, okay, bodies
Speaker 1: are on our side. I mean, listen, you're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Luigi. Please tell me I'm not condoning what he did.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, how fascinating that when that happened, the support
Speaker 1: that he got cross racial barriers, political backgrounds. A lot
Speaker 1: of rich people were like, yeah, I gotta see what happened.
Speaker 1: I had never witnessed something where it was a blatant
Speaker 1: This dude executed somebody in broad daylight, and so many
Speaker 1: people were coming up with alibis online for him, and
Speaker 1: as soon as they found out who the victim was,
Speaker 1: so many people were just like, oh, yeah, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: The bodies are on our side. People just have to
Speaker 1: know how to organize and unite these bodies to do
Speaker 1: the right things.
Speaker 2: Also, I think another thing that they're doing, they meaning
Speaker 2: the people who think that we're stupid. Let's just put
Speaker 2: it like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, without you know me, I think everyone's stupid.
Speaker 2: Okay, But like while they're throwing out these executive orders
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, you have congressmen and women blatantly
Speaker 2: lying about things that are being passed, Like a bill
Speaker 2: was passed, No, it was a budget, but id of understand,
Speaker 2: Oh there's no more tax on tips. You're lying? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like I don't, I don't, I don't understand. And I
Speaker 2: think that that's another thing that they think that we
Speaker 2: don't care about, Like, oh, they're so overwhelm, they're not
Speaker 2: even going to realize that this is a lie when
Speaker 2: right all places, I'm sorry, I get it really irritates
Speaker 2: me and then you got fucking Mayor Adams. I can't
Speaker 2: take his ass, Negros. You need imagine the.
Speaker 1: Ball well for people who don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: with that, tell them.
Speaker 2: Okay, So, I mean we live in New York City
Speaker 2: or the outskirts of New York City. You and Mayor
Speaker 2: Adams have something in common.
Speaker 1: We live in Jersey. Yeah, you live in.
Speaker 2: Jersey, but you work in New York City. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know anyway, you are upfront about it. He's a
Speaker 2: fucking liar anyway. He don't worry what's on. Mayor Adams
Speaker 2: don't worry about and you know what he should have
Speaker 2: known back then. I should have known.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 2: Go ahead, so I listen. I've grown up in Brooklyn
Speaker 2: my entire life, so I've known who he was for
Speaker 2: a really long time. He was our Brooklyn borough president
Speaker 2: for a while, right. He replaced a guy that everyone loved,
Speaker 2: so it was very it was a tra transition. He
Speaker 2: claims that he did such a good job with Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But anyway, he has lied from
Speaker 2: the day that he was elected, probably before that, but
Speaker 2: like we started paying attention, he has lied from the
Speaker 2: day that he was elected till this very day he
Speaker 2: was brought up on charges for what's the actual word.
Speaker 2: It's not like necessarily it definitely is fraud, but what's
Speaker 2: the actual.
Speaker 1: He's been charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States,
Speaker 1: wire fraud, soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, and one
Speaker 1: count of soliciting and accepting a bribe.
Speaker 2: Yes, so all of that and thanks to his good
Speaker 2: old pal who lives in Trump Tower and mar Largo
Speaker 2: log Oh yes, I always pronounced it wrong. I like
Speaker 2: the r at it. Who's gonna stop you if they're
Speaker 2: making up shit? So can I? Anyway, So now all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, his chargers are being dropped. He's a
Speaker 2: quote unquote free man. He's living life. He has this
Speaker 2: new battery in his back, as people from Brooklyn say,
Speaker 2: and he thinks that nobody can stop him. But people
Speaker 2: have been calling him out, which they've been doing since
Speaker 2: we realized that he was a liar, so the same people.
Speaker 2: This is the issue is that it's the same people
Speaker 2: calling him out. And these are like specific organizations and
Speaker 2: he knows these people and like it's led by like
Speaker 2: some to some of the black dims in Brooklyn and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and so he knows these people, he
Speaker 2: hates them, and so he does a press conference and
Speaker 2: he's like trying to compare himself to Jesus Christ, which
Speaker 2: is in fuck insane. You negroes know not what you do.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, sir ah. You know I've been trying to
Speaker 2: get him a pass by the way, Yes, yes, and
Speaker 2: that's why he thinks he could get away with calling
Speaker 2: us negroes. I'm confused, like, how am I a negro?
Speaker 2: Because I'm just trying to get you to take accountability
Speaker 2: for the bullshit that you do.
Speaker 1: Apparently, comparing yourself to Jesus is a really solid campaign
Speaker 1: move at the moment because it really makes a lot
Speaker 1: of people back off, like, oh, but he's Jesus, Like please, please.
Speaker 2: Know a white man could do that, black man cannot do.
Speaker 1: Mean, while Jesus, let's be honest, what color was Jesus?
Speaker 2: No, but you know we're talking to people who don't
Speaker 2: never mind anyway, do.
Speaker 1: You think Jesus is black?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I think Jesus was like a dark Middle Eastern well
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: But then here's the thing that gets me. I know
Speaker 2: Jesus was fair of wool part yea makes me feel
Speaker 2: like he was a little bit more African than people
Speaker 2: are led to believe, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But there are a lot of people from the Middle
Speaker 1: East who have wool like hair. Okay, so it could be.
Speaker 1: It could either way. It was a dark skinned person. Yes,
Speaker 1: by the way, born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem in Palestine.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went and saw.
Speaker 2: Bethlehem was in Palestine.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, babes, we got a lot to talk about it.
Speaker 2: We have a lot to discuss.
Speaker 1: But back to Mayor Adams real quick. He has done
Speaker 1: so many laughable things at this point. If the circus
Speaker 1: ever needs another clown, he is ready and able to
Speaker 1: fill those giant red shoes. When he first started, he
Speaker 1: had this whole thing where he was a vegan and
Speaker 1: he wanted all the kids in the New York City
Speaker 1: public schools to have a vegan day. He forced vegan
Speaker 1: food down their dann throats.
Speaker 2: And by the way, it looked disgusting. It was horrible.
Speaker 2: It looked off.
Speaker 1: There can be great vegan food, that was not it.
Speaker 1: What happened he got caught out and about eating.
Speaker 2: Fish at a restaurant.
Speaker 1: People are taking pictures. Look at this motherfucker eating this
Speaker 1: food and trying to make the kids eat this vegan trash.
Speaker 1: What is this? And his response was, don't worry about
Speaker 1: what's Mayor Adam's plate. You know what, I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: worried about it had you not brought up what was
Speaker 1: on your plate. But you can't bring up what's on
Speaker 1: your plate and us be like, no, that's not on
Speaker 1: your plate, and then you say, don't worry about what's
Speaker 1: on my plate? Are you crazy?
Speaker 2: He's a ten out of ten experience if you don't
Speaker 2: care about what he's really doing or not doing. He's
Speaker 2: the only mayor that I've ever seen in my thirty
Speaker 2: years of living in New York City out He's like
Speaker 2: in the clubs, yes, in partying in the clubs. He
Speaker 2: got his air pairs, he had one czers isl in office.
Speaker 2: He gets his eyebrows threaded in Queen's and they have
Speaker 2: videos of him getting them threaded. This man lives a
Speaker 2: life that I know that he thinks is great. But
Speaker 2: it's a joke. It literally is.
Speaker 1: If you look at our politicians of the moment as
Speaker 1: WWE characters, it might be a little bit more stomachable
Speaker 1: because they're not human. They're insane. There's no rational thinking.
Speaker 1: You know, one of my friends, I think I might
Speaker 1: have told you this. He just randomly called me and
Speaker 1: he was like, Hey, who's your favorite president? I said, what,
Speaker 1: I don't know I could answer my favorite dinosaur. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I could answer my favorite president. So
Speaker 1: I thought about it, and I was like, maybe JFK.
Speaker 1: Seemed like he had a bunch of good ideas. And then,
Speaker 1: you know, because he had such good ideas, people snuffed
Speaker 1: him out. Lincoln did free the slaves, but he had
Speaker 1: a lot of shitty shit to say, yep, slaves too.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much that goes into, you know,
Speaker 1: the layers of a person. And then I thought, well,
Speaker 1: any politician, I mean, they're all kind of shitty. You
Speaker 1: know who I think is not shitty? Bernie. I think
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of shitty stuff about Bernie.
Speaker 2: I look at him as like a guy who like,
Speaker 2: if I was dating a guy like Bernie, it would
Speaker 2: be a no for me, because in theory he's a
Speaker 2: great guy, but I personally don't think that he had
Speaker 2: the plan to execute everything that he wanted to do
Speaker 2: well there's.
Speaker 1: No money because for him to execute the things that
Speaker 1: he would want to do, other things would have to suffer.
Speaker 1: But we're seeing that clearly no one cares about that
Speaker 1: as long as it comes into their pockets. They don't
Speaker 1: care about just slashing get money from people, like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: But I don't think as far as like skeletons in
Speaker 1: his closet. That's what I think when I say I
Speaker 1: don't think he's a bad guy. I think of all
Speaker 1: the politicians, he might be one of the good ones.
Speaker 2: You think you think Obama had skeletons in his closet? Yeah, really,
Speaker 2: I think they would have found him. They were on
Speaker 2: him about a Tan Tan suit.
Speaker 1: You think they.
Speaker 2: Don't like you know, like I think about things like that,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, if they if he really had shit
Speaker 2: on him, somebody would have dimed him out by now.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, no one's gonna like this, but if
Speaker 1: you do look up Obama and drone strikes, and you
Speaker 1: know people who may or may not have been on
Speaker 1: the shit side of that, it's not great. Okay, I
Speaker 1: still listen of all of the elected politicians, he would
Speaker 1: still be up in the top for me. But I
Speaker 1: just don't think that he's, in all facets of his
Speaker 1: life a good person. And I don't know that anybody
Speaker 1: really is. I don't know that Bernie is. Bernie's old
Speaker 1: enough to have done some crazy shit back in the day,
Speaker 1: you know. But it seems like when you look at
Speaker 1: him back in the day, Yeah, like he was that
Speaker 1: dude on the right side of history, even when everybody
Speaker 1: else was on the other side. And I hope that
Speaker 1: for us we end up falling on the right side
Speaker 1: of things.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not just looking the other way.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to give up.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. That's what they want, the oligarchy, that's
Speaker 1: what they want. First thought was, I'm going to deactivate
Speaker 1: all of my accounts on Meta because I don't want
Speaker 1: to be any part of you people doing well from
Speaker 1: some content that I provide. But wouldn't that be nice
Speaker 1: if every person that had a dissenting opinion left your platform,
Speaker 1: then you only have all the people who have your
Speaker 1: same opinion. It's an echo chamber. I wish somebody would
Speaker 1: sit in here and disagree with us, because it's just
Speaker 1: two of us talking about the same thing. It would
Speaker 1: be nice if there was someone who had an opposing
Speaker 1: viewpoint that could talk about it rationally and maybe, just
Speaker 1: maybe they might teach us something.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, I don't think so. Maybe in
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. Maybe No, not right now.
Speaker 1: Sorry, probably not happening now. So what I think is
Speaker 1: funny is we were just supposed to do the opens
Speaker 1: and closes of an interview that I actually thought was
Speaker 1: a really good one. Do you think we should just
Speaker 1: push that off to next week and just do this
Speaker 1: little minisodes this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably it.
Speaker 1: Took a turn. See this is why I say maybe
Speaker 1: the podcast just needs to be us shooting the shit.
Speaker 1: Who's to say it doesn't turn into that. But what
Speaker 1: I will say about the interview that will be coming
Speaker 1: next week. Her name is Crystal Kung Minkoff. She's amazing.
Speaker 1: She was one of the real housewives of Beverly Hills.
Speaker 1: She has a lot going on in her life. Andrew
Speaker 1: and Diamond were both like, I think you'll really like
Speaker 1: this woman. Of all the people, you'd probably want to
Speaker 1: be friends with her, and I was like, I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to be friends with
Speaker 1: any of them. They seem like fun people, good people,
Speaker 1: as far as like, do I want to be friends
Speaker 1: with you? I'm a little scared. I don't know. When
Speaker 1: I met her, absolutely I could see myself maybe hanging
Speaker 1: out with her of all of them besties. But but
Speaker 1: she crossed me. So she was supposed to be here
Speaker 1: for an interview at a certain time. And you may
Speaker 1: have heard me say this on the Big Show at
Speaker 1: some point, but the one thing I don't like to
Speaker 1: fuck around with is my time because it's the one
Speaker 1: thing we will never get back. You cannot make me
Speaker 1: more time. If you waste it, it's gone forever. Think
Speaker 1: about that, just in everything that you do. She' was
Speaker 1: supposed to be here at ten thirty. Somehow she pushed
Speaker 1: it to eleven, and Andrew over here, okayed it, which
Speaker 1: we'll get him in here and talk about that at
Speaker 1: some point, because he didn't tell me until it was
Speaker 1: almost time for her, and he's like, oh, just give
Speaker 1: an eleven oka rip into his ass. I should Then
Speaker 1: eleven comes around eleven ten fifteen, I said, are we joking?
Speaker 1: Because at this point in my head, now you're forty
Speaker 1: five minutes, like even Andrew gave you the green light,
Speaker 1: why are you not here at ten thirty. But okay,
Speaker 1: So I said to him around eleven fifteen, I'm giving
Speaker 1: this until eleven twenty, and I'm walking out the door
Speaker 1: because I do not care enough about this to stick
Speaker 1: around and be disrespected by someone who also doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to care about it. And when I tell you, I
Speaker 1: think Andrew shit himself that day. He was like, ugh,
Speaker 1: but can't you just can you? Nope, I will not.
Speaker 1: I cannot. I'm not going to I'm not waiting an
Speaker 1: hour for someone to show up that I was like
Speaker 1: lukewarm on interviewing in the first place.
Speaker 2: Good for you, by the way.
Speaker 1: So I packed up my little backpack and I go
Speaker 1: stomping out the door. Who do I see on my
Speaker 1: way out her publicist and her walking in. So I
Speaker 1: walk up to and I'm like, hey, I'm leaving. This
Speaker 1: was supposed to be at ten thirty. I have other
Speaker 1: things to do. I gotta get out of here, at
Speaker 1: which point she looked at me and said, and this
Speaker 1: is why I was. It's like, she said, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I didn't realize there was a hard
Speaker 1: out time, or else I would have been here earlier.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. What, Yeah, so you just thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting around all day and you could show
Speaker 1: up when you wanted to show up.
Speaker 2: Man, I do a morning show. Yeah, people don't get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I said, oh, there is always a hard
Speaker 1: out time, but more importantly, there's a hard start time.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go ahead and hop in my uber
Speaker 1: you can if you want to reschedule with Andrew, be
Speaker 1: here on time, and we can see if we can
Speaker 1: reado it at that point. So that's what ended up happening.
Speaker 1: And after all that, she was great. So this is
Speaker 1: a tease for next week now because Crystal was actually
Speaker 1: really awesome. She had a lot of interesting things to say.
Speaker 1: She was pretty honest about some things that you might
Speaker 1: want to know about the housewives, and yeah, she's beautiful
Speaker 1: and she's fun and I'm here for it. I felt
Speaker 1: bad for a second because Andrew looked as though he
Speaker 1: shit his pants. He deserves his pants, But I also
Speaker 1: thought these are teaching moments, Andrew. I hope now you
Speaker 1: know when I say I'm not waiting, i am not waiting,
Speaker 1: and now the door. I also think these are some
Speaker 1: of the things that maybe people say that I'm difficult,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it was my fault. No text
Speaker 1: us now or actually call us. No, you can't do
Speaker 1: any of those things.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. No talkbacks.
Speaker 1: Do a talkback the little microphone thing on the app,
Speaker 1: you could do a talkback. You could dm us, you
Speaker 1: could leave a review, but I guess in reviews you're
Speaker 1: not really going to like respond to this one specific episode.
Speaker 1: That would be kind of funny, but don't do it. Also,
Speaker 1: you know what I want talkbacks about. I would like
Speaker 1: to start doing. You know, we used to do the
Speaker 1: Burn Book regularly, which I did just kind of burn
Speaker 1: our next guest, but I like her, so it's not
Speaker 1: a burn. Just facts, just the facts man, of what happened.
Speaker 1: I would love it if people left us talkbacks about
Speaker 1: what they would like to be a regular segment. Oh cool,
Speaker 1: because I think those could be fun. And I would
Speaker 1: love to do something that was, like, you know, mildly consistent.
Speaker 1: Not my strong suit.
Speaker 2: It's just chaos, and I'll every second of it.
Speaker 1: It is I. I diamond, am neurodivergent. I have ADHD.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised by that at all. Wait, I thought it
Speaker 1: was just a very well known fact that I had ADHD.
Speaker 1: I thought I really just accepted that.
Speaker 2: Knew that. Oh I didn't know that, but it makes
Speaker 2: a lot of sense. Oh does it same? No, I
Speaker 2: know I'm on the spectrum.
Speaker 1: I have no doubt. I think everybody is. That's why
Speaker 1: it's the spectrum. Even if you're at the very beginning
Speaker 1: or the very end, you're selling the spectrum somewhere right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, either way, I think to start talking about that more.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What I won't do is medicate it.
Speaker 2: So ha haa.
Speaker 1: Everybody, you get what you get? Oh stop, I will
Speaker 1: never I've never taken medicine for it. I'm not going to.
Speaker 2: Were you offered adderall?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my god.
Speaker 2: Bring it in.
Speaker 1: I'm not a drug dealer case.
Speaker 2: Sorry Oh yeah no.
Speaker 1: By the way, fun fact, when you travel to Mexico,
Speaker 1: they are pharmacies. You can get so many things over
Speaker 1: the counter there that you can't get here.
Speaker 2: I saw into Loom. Did you go to the Little
Speaker 2: I didn't do this, but like you know, I went
Speaker 2: into I don't know if it was me or one
Speaker 2: of my cousins. Someone had cramps and they were really bad,
Speaker 2: and we went in and I'm almost positive that someone
Speaker 2: was offered like percocet and yeah, I had.
Speaker 1: Now they have viking in percoset, xanax adderall met foreman
Speaker 1: for like diabetics, all these things that you need prescriptions
Speaker 1: for here. But the problem is apparently depending on the
Speaker 1: pharmacy you go to, you need to go to a
Speaker 1: licensed pharmacy, because there are all kinds of like tourist
Speaker 1: pharmacies where some of those pills could be pressed with
Speaker 1: fentanyl as well, so you have to be very careful.
Speaker 1: I am not recommending this to anyone. I was just
Speaker 1: very surprised that you can buy so many things over
Speaker 1: the counter. I don't think anyone's putting fentanyl in your foreman.
Speaker 2: If you never known these days are they're losing it.
Speaker 2: These aren't the drug dealers of in the eighties and nineties, babes.
Speaker 1: You weren't even alive in the eighties nor buying drugs.
Speaker 2: Well, I heard a lot about it.
Speaker 1: You know, they had the purest stuff back in my day,
Speaker 1: you know. All right, So like, subscribe, follow, please send
Speaker 1: us a talkback, you can review us, give us your
Speaker 1: star rating whatever, Diamond if they want to find you

Speaker 1: I do is lurk. I don't post anything. Maybe someday
Speaker 1: you should. Maybe when it's on its way out, I'll
Speaker 1: join the party. Seems to be my forte in life.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for listening to our raving lunacy.
Speaker 2: I think is a political rant.
Speaker 1: Our political rant.
