Speaker 1: Dude. I saw Paul Simon and Sabrina off rip and
Speaker 1: I was like, yo, let's what it bums. You know,
Speaker 1: like when you start catching like your older relatives start
Speaker 1: getting with you know what I mean. Paul Simon was
Speaker 1: like reaching out to Sabrina.
Speaker 2: I said, oh, oh his hands, his hands.
Speaker 1: I know, and I'm like, you know, it's like that's
Speaker 1: always like the Yeah, it was not great even, And
Speaker 1: I also saw I couldn't watch all of Paul McCartney either.
Speaker 3: Paul McCartney was so bad too, Like they all just
Speaker 3: sounded like they were singing at random, like just no sense,
Speaker 3: you know. It just sounded like somebody getting up there
Speaker 3: at karaoke when you're like, either this person's very nervous
Speaker 3: or they've never even tried to sing before.
Speaker 1: Oh, to me, it sounded like like a Dying Warriors
Speaker 1: last by before there.
Speaker 3: Stively, I agree, that's definitely what it was, But like
Speaker 3: what it sounded like just sounded like they weren't even
Speaker 3: I couldn't even tell what they were trying the next
Speaker 3: they were trying to hit.
Speaker 1: It feels like a character bit someone were doing that
Speaker 1: and not thing like an aging guy. Yeah, because you
Speaker 1: can hear that they're still in there. You're like, oh, there,
Speaker 1: I could hear Paul Simon in there. I hear them
Speaker 1: in there. But it's so everything around it is like
Speaker 1: so it's like it's lost its vibrancy and vitality in
Speaker 1: this way that I don't know. And apparently I saw that,
Speaker 1: like all these people went to go see Paul McCartney
Speaker 1: like then he had like a like a surprise show,
Speaker 1: and like all these people went and I'm like, oh, like, whatever,
Speaker 1: that's your ship.
Speaker 3: I mean the music around it, like I liked the
Speaker 3: selection the people. Everybody else playing was good, but yeah,
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, it's just the voice in particular was Hello
Speaker 3: the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of.
Speaker 1: It's a Productive iHeartRadio.
Speaker 4: Yeah, guys were taking the America and yeah, this is
Speaker 4: the one where we shake off the cobwebs from the
Speaker 4: long weekend honoring our presidents.
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, just you know, get into it.
Speaker 3: We're recording this first thing Tuesday, February eighteenth, nine am.
Speaker 3: Perfect time to be fun and funny. Oh yeah, morning,
Speaker 3: back to work after a long weekend.
Speaker 1: After a long weekend of just total chaos in the
Speaker 1: total and even in the All Star Game, you know what,
Speaker 1: I know they tried. They disqualified Wemby and Chris Paul
Speaker 1: for hacking the fucking matrix.
Speaker 3: I didn't follow that, but was the was the deal
Speaker 3: that they were like, you don't have it doesn't matter
Speaker 3: like a made shot is the same as a misshot
Speaker 3: or like the penalty a penalty for a mishot must
Speaker 3: just like be not nearly.
Speaker 1: Having a fast time negates not making a single shot, and.
Speaker 2: I like having a fast time. I've always said that I'm.
Speaker 1: Here for a fast time.
Speaker 3: I went to Ridgemont High. But uh cool reference dead
Speaker 3: Yeah for anybody who didn't see it, the most exciting. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So for anyone who didn't see it. John penned Judge
Speaker 3: reinold jacks off, jacks.
Speaker 1: Off through a window to a young Phoebe.
Speaker 2: K pirate costume.
Speaker 3: No for for the NBA All Star Week and there
Speaker 3: was a skills challenge with Chris Paul and Victor Weimbingyama
Speaker 3: seven foot.
Speaker 2: Four, hyper skilled, very exciting player for the Spurs.
Speaker 3: And they just like they did this thing where like
Speaker 3: they snailed all the passes, like you have to pass
Speaker 3: the ball through a tire. They did like the dribbling,
Speaker 3: and then when it came down to shoot the shots,
Speaker 3: they just like kind of just blindly tossed them in
Speaker 3: the direction of the hoop, like as quickly as possible
Speaker 3: and then just like moved on to the next part.
Speaker 2: And so they got disqualified.
Speaker 3: But I gotta say, if they were about to win
Speaker 3: based on that strategy, like you just gotta let them win,
Speaker 3: Like do you can guess?
Speaker 1: It's also like, hey, don't make everyone look like an asshole.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, right, Like yeah, fuck you, bro, watch me
Speaker 1: just chest I'm supposed to shoot these threes. I'm a chess.
Speaker 1: Pass it to the ball boy.
Speaker 2: Our whole thing felt brought to you by State Farm
Speaker 2: and brought to you by.
Speaker 3: Everything just felt like a piece of sponsored content and
Speaker 3: including that, like I just feel like, you know you uh,
Speaker 3: they're they're like, you're making a mockery of our presenting sponsor,
Speaker 3: State Farm.
Speaker 2: But anyways, this is part of being an NBA fan
Speaker 2: is to complain about the All Star weekend.
Speaker 1: But we know you're not NBA fans, all of you,
Speaker 1: So we'll get to the government.
Speaker 3: We'll get you got We know you guys are fans
Speaker 3: of Doge, so we'll get to that stuff, but first
Speaker 3: this is the episode where we uh like to get
Speaker 3: to know each other a little bit better by telling
Speaker 3: you stuff we think is underrated, stuff we think is overrated.
Speaker 2: Miles with something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: Uh, something I think is underrated? Wait? Where did I say?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, why was I? I like, why am I even
Speaker 1: looking this up? I was just talking about unintentionally bad music. Okay,
Speaker 1: I love music, and I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: know this. I like music. Okay, I'm kind of going
Speaker 1: out on a limitar to say that out loud on
Speaker 1: a podcast.
Speaker 2: But this guy likes music.
Speaker 1: This guy's got one thumb and loves music. And one
Speaker 1: of the algorithms served me a track thumb.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: Why am I own thumb? Trial? Who cares? But one
Speaker 1: of the algorithms served me like this track that I
Speaker 1: just cannot get out of my head. And a lot
Speaker 1: of people are watching, like it's it's like blowing up
Speaker 1: on social media, But people I think are making fun
Speaker 1: of the songs. I on the other hand, I'm like,
Speaker 1: these are so sincere and literal that I fucking love it.
Speaker 1: Just allow me to play just an excerpt of one
Speaker 1: of these tracks, just because I want I just want
Speaker 1: to familiarize the audience with this one.
Speaker 2: Now my heart and alternative.
Speaker 1: I'm still not over it, that's not anyway.
Speaker 2: So so this is just like random people in the
Speaker 2: Bay Area.
Speaker 1: They're singing. They're singing like that actual song. That's the
Speaker 1: band Oh po Mal Paul O'Malley people, everybody got a short. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Po Mal or p mal or some shit. His
Speaker 1: name's like Peter O'Malley or so he's like he does
Speaker 1: like Broadway type singing, but he's kind of doing like
Speaker 1: R and B with this other guy who's like a producer.
Speaker 1: These again, a lot of people watch you, like with
Speaker 1: a sense of irony, and I am so captivated because
Speaker 1: I think I referenced a tweet on Blue Sky that
Speaker 1: was about like how the world would be better if
Speaker 1: people just made whatever the fuck they wanted to art wise,
Speaker 1: and we just don't stop giving a fuck about bad
Speaker 1: art or whatever. Yeah, this is so I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but it was so life affirming. See, like, people enjoy
Speaker 1: themselves by expressing themselves to whatever medium pleases them and
Speaker 1: despite it maybe not being quote good or whatever, like
Speaker 1: the sincerity cuts through in a way that I was like,
Speaker 1: this is just this is something I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just like really enjoy it. There's another song about the lyrics,
Speaker 1: are you think I'm the one? Like We're on the run,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what does that even mean?
Speaker 2: Like we're on the run, Like we're on the run.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, whatever, dude, I love these sixth grade lyrics.
Speaker 1: I fuck with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that is like music is partially about
Speaker 3: just tapping into that, like just feeling of being in
Speaker 3: middle school and having a crush and being like so dumb.
Speaker 1: That's why these dudes who are like in their late
Speaker 1: twenties I think are just killing it. Was like, like
Speaker 1: you're saying this sounds like a note I would write
Speaker 1: when I got broken up within fifth grade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'm just not over it, yah, fucking cutting through.
Speaker 1: My Uh.
Speaker 3: One time, my sister's friend got broken up with in
Speaker 3: a note and the guy signed off by going, things change,
Speaker 3: people change, and nothing ever stays the same. And the
Speaker 3: degree to whitch like just speaking to exactly what we're
Speaker 3: talking about, Like that was such a bar that like
Speaker 3: she told me about it and I've never forgotten it.
Speaker 1: I'm like my older sisters, Yeah, my older how many
Speaker 1: years older at this point, Like what's the age difference?
Speaker 1: So she's coming two years every funny you're like six
Speaker 1: and she's twelve. Like hey, hey, hey, I got to
Speaker 1: tell you about this really quick.
Speaker 2: Huh No.
Speaker 3: It was like her friends were like cool, interesting like people.
Speaker 3: So I was just invested, and yeah, they broke up.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 1: People change change, people change.
Speaker 2: Nothing never stays the same. That is a bar from
Speaker 2: from like a song like that that should be a.
Speaker 3: Lyric in a song that goes fucking platinum, but it's
Speaker 3: dumb as hell as dumb as hell all right.
Speaker 2: Uh underrated.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I was just talking to people over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Who you know, fellow dads, and about like kids move,
Speaker 3: like all the kids have the same kind of general
Speaker 3: genre of movies that they like want like become obsessed with,
Speaker 3: and it's just like you know, you watch it one
Speaker 3: hundred times like that's normal, like Star Wars. And then
Speaker 3: like just talking about the fact that mine was Jaws,
Speaker 3: which is solicited an alcoholic sheriff whose death drive sends
Speaker 3: him into the heart of the ocean with like a
Speaker 3: man who's cucking him and like, wait, what Cooper in
Speaker 3: the book is having an affair with his wife and
Speaker 3: like there's some tension in the movie, okay, and then
Speaker 3: Quinn is like the human death Drive personified. A child
Speaker 3: that was like just a couple of years older than
Speaker 3: me gets like burst like a blood grape and like
Speaker 3: all the kids today have like finding Nemo and cars
Speaker 3: and cars too, and like, I guess I'm just at
Speaker 3: that point where like my kids are now at ages
Speaker 3: that I can remember and being like that's so wild
Speaker 3: that at that age my thing, like my kids things
Speaker 3: are legos and and you know, Chess and Star Wars,
Speaker 3: and you know, my oldest is like into via Star Wars.
Speaker 3: He's like gotten real into like military history, which is
Speaker 3: a little more. But I was like deep when at
Speaker 3: the age of my six year old, I was like
Speaker 3: deep into this movie that was had so many like
Speaker 3: adult you know how like that they rate movies on
Speaker 3: is like adult themes.
Speaker 2: There's just so many adult themes. Like there's a line
Speaker 2: where he's like you want to get drunk and mess
Speaker 2: around with his wife.
Speaker 1: And you're just like like, yeah, this is what happens
Speaker 1: when like child development wasn't really like a thing for.
Speaker 1: There was the philosophy there.
Speaker 2: He was like old Disney movies, I think, so, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, which is wild to me though too, because I
Speaker 1: my dad would show me a ton of weird art
Speaker 1: house films like I remember watching like eraser Head or
Speaker 1: like Naked Lunch and Ship when.
Speaker 2: You watch, Yeah, I could barely handle that as a forty.
Speaker 1: Year I just I remember being bored. I was like,
Speaker 1: this shit isn't black and white. This ship is dumb.
Speaker 1: I just and then but obviously I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: some really intense visual shit going on in it. Like
Speaker 1: I won't shake, like the dancing chicken thing from it.
Speaker 1: I can't for whatever reason.
Speaker 3: That really bothered Yeah, but like little sperm baby, yeah,
Speaker 3: always flying around.
Speaker 1: Then the other thing was like but then I would
Speaker 1: watch Bamby and then like the mom gets killed, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, so I think my parents are like, well,
Speaker 1: at least their racerhead to have like some like you know,
Speaker 1: Mattress Side kind of shit happening. In the beginning. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It was just very uh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I think. And then maybe my parents use that to
Speaker 1: be like well he cried watching Bamby. But these experimental
Speaker 1: art house films and early Tarantino works are fine.
Speaker 2: Watched early Tarantino, Like I.
Speaker 1: Watched every Tarantino movie like within a year of it
Speaker 1: coming out. Yeah, Like, so I saw a Reservoir Dogs
Speaker 1: when it hit tape. I saw Pulp Fiction when it
Speaker 1: hit tape, So that would have been like you were eight, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well Pulp Fiction was a ninety four Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like ten eleven. Yeah, I mean just be like
Speaker 1: watching the gimp scene and I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on. Like I remember just fully watching that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the fuck are they doing? Like just
Speaker 1: like not for completely all of like how graphic it
Speaker 1: was was completely lost on me until obviously I got older.
Speaker 1: I was like, jo, that guy sill, look at the
Speaker 1: guy in the mask. Oh dude, the gimps coming out.
Speaker 2: It's so funny.
Speaker 1: What a goof?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess Diehard was my favorite movie when I
Speaker 2: was in third grade.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was right there with you. We're all
Speaker 1: fucked up.
Speaker 2: It's all fucked up now. Yeah, a lot of jokes
Speaker 2: about him at that tent L fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is something else?
Speaker 2: Do you think it gets?
Speaker 1: The thing in the SNL fifty. They said, oh, all,
Speaker 1: we've had like eight hundred and ninety five hosts and
Speaker 1: only two of them are murderers. And then Alec Baldwin
Speaker 1: showed up a little bit late.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, sure, I look at her mad.
Speaker 3: I'm like, were they low key referencing Alec? But I
Speaker 3: later so I'm assuming he hosted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess he must have like in the day.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, is that a clearly they
Speaker 1: wouldn't be like yeah, and Alec Baldwin anyway, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: Alec Baldwin the murderer or manslaughter or whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it, negligent homicider. But anyway, what are we
Speaker 1: doing overrated? We're doing overrated miles with over over clothing
Speaker 1: that is new but already distressed. This is an old
Speaker 1: head take. But as I look to get clothes again
Speaker 1: that I can wear, like what happened? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I lost a bunch of stuff. I don't where it went.
Speaker 1: Still like just a little fun more Drubb refresh, dude,
Speaker 1: someone swapped my house out with an ashen lot. I
Speaker 1: don't know where they put my house. But the guys
Speaker 1: getting old. It's getting old, show me where this stuff is.
Speaker 1: I'd really like to get some of my clothing back,
Speaker 1: but like I went to the mall to get some shit,
Speaker 1: and like, I'm a, you realize how old you are
Speaker 1: because you're like none of this ship is directed towards
Speaker 1: you as a consumer. I'm like, bro, I do not
Speaker 1: need a seven x tall tea with the Tupac all
Speaker 1: eyes on the album cover on it looking like he's
Speaker 1: acid washed. Actually you kind of do need that. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I bought one, you know. But then I saw like
Speaker 1: other ship that, Like, you know, I get that the
Speaker 1: distress trend has been happening for a while and like
Speaker 1: a lot of high fashion brands like like to just
Speaker 1: put stuff out there already looking busted as ship, But
Speaker 1: I like cannot believe what people are paying for for
Speaker 1: shit that looks fucked up like Golden Goose sneakers. No,
Speaker 1: these ships, yeah, they look like fucked up like Stan
Speaker 1: Smith's basically with their like proprietary logo on it all
Speaker 1: scuff didn't ship on the toe like shits that are
Speaker 1: I'm like, this sain't fucking no, they're.
Speaker 2: Ragged behind a car on the fucking four oh five.
Speaker 1: Exactly, like just like as if you was tied by
Speaker 1: a car, like just married, but I'm dragging sneakers behind it,
Speaker 1: not cans or whatever, and it's just like I'm like phyllis.
Speaker 1: I'm like also trying to understand what the appeal is Like,
Speaker 1: are people just trying to speed run actually living a
Speaker 1: life and just go straight for the clothing that makes
Speaker 1: it look like that?
Speaker 3: Or is it like I don't go anywhere, I just
Speaker 3: sit at a desk and answer emails. So this is
Speaker 3: the type of person who spends let me see, five
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty five dollars on a pair of sneakers
Speaker 3: on a pair of shoes. Bro, that's not that's not
Speaker 3: like that these are sold out and so you're having
Speaker 3: to go street value that that is?
Speaker 1: That's what that's m Yeah, okay doors suggested retail price.
Speaker 1: So I see that, and I'm like, okay, bro, I
Speaker 1: already have shoes that look like I got drunk and
Speaker 1: like stumble through a gravel parking lot for fifteen years
Speaker 1: straight because I have those.
Speaker 2: You did eighteen years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't need to buy them looking like that.
Speaker 1: So anyway that I just found myself getting like really
Speaker 1: becoming very like aging rapidly at the mall, trying to
Speaker 1: find some shit I could wear, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: why does everything looked fucked up already? And it's more
Speaker 1: expensive and I'm forty anyway, that's my time shoes.
Speaker 2: I like, you have a drinking problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my nurse has come in with my my medicine.
Speaker 1: Hold on one moment yep, no, uh see, yeah I
Speaker 1: swallowed it. Okay, you didn't really swallow it, right, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I like to.
Speaker 1: I like to bank them and do like four of
Speaker 1: them in your cheek, four of them at once at night. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I've been noticing these for like, uh, they were real
Speaker 3: big with moms on the West side of LA back
Speaker 3: when I lived on the West side of LA.
Speaker 2: And since then I've become big with big dude. Try
Speaker 2: not to judge.
Speaker 1: I trying to judge. And I like kids of family
Speaker 1: member that we visited, like do you use the coolest shoot?
Speaker 1: That's when I first got put onto and I was like,
Speaker 1: are y'all for real?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: By Like where rock the vintage shit? Rock the stuff
Speaker 1: you buy?
Speaker 2: Yous?
Speaker 1: Like, I get that's you're being thrifty. That shit like
Speaker 1: has been lived in but don't jump to fucking six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for busted shits. Don't do that. Don't do
Speaker 1: That's just my tip. This is not financial advice. All right.
Speaker 2: So I watched that CENTL fifty had a blast.
Speaker 3: I just my overrated while you're watching it, I had
Speaker 3: a Baja blast or two.
Speaker 1: More fold or fifty, but in honor.
Speaker 3: Of the show, I had fifty Baja's blast. I will
Speaker 3: just say just one note is if you are a
Speaker 3: professional singer over a certain age named Paul, I feel
Speaker 3: like we gotta take a step back, like do do
Speaker 3: the rehearse and be like, yo, this is this is
Speaker 3: not happening for you. We'll have We'll have one of
Speaker 3: the Jonas brothers come out and cover your part, you know,
Speaker 3: Like I don't know, Like it was just and I
Speaker 3: guess I've known this for a while, like as a
Speaker 3: Bob Dylan fan, like he his voice went to shit
Speaker 3: at a certain point, like in his sixties, and he
Speaker 3: just kept working and like kind of steered into it
Speaker 3: and like his thing.
Speaker 1: Was like nah, I sing like this, Like I don't
Speaker 1: really sing.
Speaker 2: I just kind of cracked it out, becoming like a
Speaker 2: fucking fucking swamp. Creature.
Speaker 3: But I assumed that was something specific to him because
Speaker 3: I kept hearing that, like, you know, the top performing,
Speaker 3: the top touring acts, or like rolling stones and you
Speaker 3: know all these older people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I have the money to pay to keep
Speaker 1: seeing those people.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just that's right, that's exactly right. They have hoarded
Speaker 3: all the wealth, they own, all the houses, the older generation,
Speaker 3: and they just they're keeping these careers alive.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The SNL opened with Paul Simon uh singing next to
Speaker 3: Sabrina Carpenter and uh, it was just.
Speaker 2: Just rough man. He like couldn't really find the find
Speaker 2: the notes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm I get it. You're an artist that's
Speaker 1: you only know one thing probably yea performing and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But what Paul Simon is eighty three McCartney's
Speaker 1: eighty two. They weren't sounding great, and I don't like whatever.
Speaker 1: I think part of it is us like dealing with
Speaker 1: our own mortality observing these things totally. But the other
Speaker 1: part is too, I don't know, Like in a way,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, maybe it's more just to
Speaker 1: like just to honor them at that point, to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: get up there one more time, up there, yeah, and
Speaker 1: then we'll pair you with some slightly more spry and
Speaker 1: it'll all be fine.
Speaker 3: But could they sing your parts too, and you just
Speaker 3: kind of play the guitar. I mean it makes sense
Speaker 3: as somebody who as I age, I spend more and
Speaker 3: more of my day sounding like I just woke up,
Speaker 3: like if I haven't had a nice throat clear in
Speaker 3: thirty minutes and I'm about to attempt to speak, Oh,
Speaker 3: I should just like go to the bathroom and gargle
Speaker 3: for like an embarrassingly long period of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you start sounding like Boss Nass from episode one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I guess it's just Yeah, it's surprising to
Speaker 3: me that like this is so uniformly a problem among
Speaker 3: people over a certain age named Paul, because they're still
Speaker 3: selling out and like having these massive appearances on important,
Speaker 3: you know, TV broadcasts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean I don't know, like I get
Speaker 1: being a fan and you're like, dude, of course I'm
Speaker 1: going to see them perform every fucking time I have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to opportunity to because their music is so meaningful.
Speaker 1: But I guess there's something for me, like when I
Speaker 1: like when I've gone to see artists and their live
Speaker 1: performance is just such a departure from what the album is.
Speaker 1: I'm not always like fully on board and I don't
Speaker 1: care like I'm not saying like you can do that,
Speaker 1: but just sometimes I just enjoy it. I don't enjoy
Speaker 1: it as much. It's not that you have to sound
Speaker 1: exactly like the record, but I know, I wonder what
Speaker 1: that experience is like for someone when you're so used
Speaker 1: to hearing a song a certain way and then the
Speaker 1: current version is a bit a bit different.
Speaker 3: To put it deeply, I'll just yeah, I'll say I'll
Speaker 3: say it's actually an under it My underrated is what
Speaker 3: age does to a voice.
Speaker 2: Because I'm not trying to there. There definitely seem to
Speaker 2: be in a lot of people who are like I
Speaker 2: still loved it, like I loved I love seeing them
Speaker 2: up there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I get it because from that perspective, you're
Speaker 1: seeing an artist you love continue to do the thing
Speaker 1: they do. I'm not I'm not the biggest Paul Simon's
Speaker 1: or McCartney's fans. Paul's McCartney's not Pamons. Yeah, Paul Simon's
Speaker 1: and Paul McCartney's. You know, I absolutely acknowledge what they've
Speaker 1: done in music, but they're not they're not for me,
Speaker 1: So I think my threshold, Like I'd probably watch like
Speaker 1: an old performance from Cisco doing the Thong song at
Speaker 1: seventies for some reason, I'd be like, yeah, Cisco still
Speaker 1: got it.
Speaker 3: Well, he's not burning his pipes out because he's not
Speaker 3: singing that. He's not anymore, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, let's take a quick break and we'll be
Speaker 2: right back. And we're back.
Speaker 3: We're checking out some more pel now over the break,
Speaker 3: dude killing it like it seems like a bit.
Speaker 2: Right or you don't think it's a bit.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: What's going on. I don't even care because if they
Speaker 1: I've seen the website of the main dude, and it's
Speaker 1: it looks like a pretty sincere website.
Speaker 2: Pol you've seen no jno JN.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Filipino dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're dressed like they're going to prom in
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1: I know. But there's this thing, like if you've I
Speaker 1: see it a lot in La there's like there's like
Speaker 1: the music industry that we all know, huh, and then
Speaker 1: a few layers underneath that is like a parallel music industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are people black verse, right, dude.
Speaker 1: Even it's like even more bizarro, Like there are people
Speaker 1: I follow on Instagram purely for a peek into this,
Speaker 1: like like they do events that have step in repeats,
Speaker 1: but they're with brands you've never heard of. It's like
Speaker 1: usually like eccentric, wealthy people who were just creating a
Speaker 1: parallel reality to like pump their own shit up in right,
Speaker 1: And so I feel like it's somewhere in that area,
Speaker 1: like it's sincere. It's not like we're making fun of anyone,
Speaker 1: like this is this is what they do, and again
Speaker 1: I fuck with it.
Speaker 3: I've known a lot of people who like just have
Speaker 3: that dream, you know, whether be singing acted like you know,
Speaker 3: they're just like oh yeah, in their fifties, they're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm actually like kind of a singer and.
Speaker 1: You get that twelve string out let me hear.
Speaker 2: So yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But there's that happens in la that that's really pronounced
Speaker 1: with the like film industry, because there are so many
Speaker 1: weird wealthy people who are just brute forcing things and
Speaker 1: making like weird movies that no one sees because they
Speaker 1: just want to be able to be like I'm a producer,
Speaker 1: What if I start in the movie. I don't know
Speaker 1: what about that? Go ahead?
Speaker 3: So here's my note as a producer. What if I'm
Speaker 3: the star and I am the star now by the way, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I get to kiss the lead actress? Oh no,
Speaker 1: we've already shot two thirds of the film. All right.
Speaker 3: Well, you said it was problematic if I wasn't the star,
Speaker 3: So now you know. These are our options people, This
Speaker 3: is what we're worried for, our options.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: The news, the news, Ah, the news.
Speaker 3: Yes, a refreshing, bracing dive into the cold world of
Speaker 3: what the fuck is happening right now?
Speaker 2: We have more plane crashes.
Speaker 1: It's been four plane crashes in three weeks, and Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is firing FAA staff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna do the rest of the episode like that.
Speaker 1: It's been Uh, you caught you probably caught the video
Speaker 1: of that Delta plane crash. That that crash landed at
Speaker 1: Toronto's Toronto's YYZ Airport, Great Rush Song and flipped over
Speaker 1: during the ordeal. Thank fuck, no one was killed. There
Speaker 1: were some injuries, but no one lost their lives. It's
Speaker 1: still not clear what even happened, at least from the
Speaker 1: time I've been reading reports around it, but the video
Speaker 1: is not comforting given the numerous aviation oopsies that have
Speaker 1: been happening around the country. So again, the fourth major
Speaker 1: aviation accident in North America in the past three weeks.
Speaker 1: Commercial jetliner and Army Army helicopter collided at Reagan we
Speaker 1: remember that. Then a medical transport plane crashed in Philly
Speaker 1: on January thirty first, killing the six people on the
Speaker 1: four yes or yeah. Two days later, and then in
Speaker 1: Alaska on February sixth, ten people were killed in a
Speaker 1: plane crash in Alaska. Just not a great just not
Speaker 1: a great theme happening. Not to say that they're all interconnected,
Speaker 1: but just again, maybe this is something we should keep
Speaker 1: our eye on. So, of course Trump went ahead and
Speaker 1: fired a bunch of people that were working at the
Speaker 1: fucking Federal Aviation Administration, almost about four hundred people. But
Speaker 1: don't worry, as Transportation and Secretary Sean Duffy says, they
Speaker 1: were all probationary.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they were all probationary. Harry, have you killed anyone? Yeah,
Speaker 5: but they were all bad. They were all probationary. They
Speaker 5: were not even there for one year, So don't worry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't even there long enough to prevent a
Speaker 1: plane crash, so their feel their presence won't be missed,
Speaker 1: I guess. And he said they reiterated no air traffic
Speaker 1: controllers were fired and no critical safety staff. But again,
Speaker 1: the FAA has been saying they are understaffed. Yes, I
Speaker 1: don't know if that that well.
Speaker 3: Either way, this industry is vastly understaffed, and the thing
Speaker 3: they seem to keep doing is firing everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's part. I mean, it's clearly part the malicious
Speaker 1: intent because they want everything to be as unstable as possible.
Speaker 1: But then there's also the stupidity is also very much there,
Speaker 1: because like on top of that, Elon is like, don't worry,
Speaker 1: I'm sending the folks from SpaceX over to the FAA
Speaker 1: to like have a gander and give some suggestions on safety.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, because SpaceX right, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: because they're the leaders in worker injuries and crashes.
Speaker 3: Right because you just like push way too hard and
Speaker 3: have a pathological disregard for human life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, easy, when those rock it's our unmanned to
Speaker 1: have him go boom. But when you have people's lives
Speaker 1: on the line. It's a little bit different. So yeah,
Speaker 1: because then that sort of goes along with this other
Speaker 1: story that happened at the end of last week. So
Speaker 1: the doge fucks, they fucked up majorly and fiers.
Speaker 2: Who are like the most powerful people in the country
Speaker 2: right now, Yes.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, but hey, you know, or we don't even
Speaker 1: know who's in charge because most recently, like the administration
Speaker 1: is now even denying that Elon Musk is the head
Speaker 1: of it because of all the legal issues that's causing.
Speaker 1: He's like, actually, do Elon Musk isn't even like the
Speaker 1: doesn't even run doze.
Speaker 2: We actually don't know him. He just like kind of
Speaker 2: pops in with his kid every once in a while
Speaker 2: for like a cute little hang.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love his son, meat Shield. He's so cool.
Speaker 2: But the way he holds the kid is so weird.
Speaker 3: It like really is not helping with the Like all
Speaker 3: of a sudden he started holding the kid like in
Speaker 3: a weird way in front of his torso.
Speaker 2: At all times like those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like how I like him close to my
Speaker 1: heart in that I like him in between me and
Speaker 1: an assailant and my heart.
Speaker 3: That's what's going on, so it can be extra weird
Speaker 3: where when he starts like wearing his second kid on
Speaker 3: his back so that they're like a sandwich board.
Speaker 2: Just running back.
Speaker 1: What it's just, I'm a busy dad. We don't have
Speaker 1: money for you. Guys were making fun of Pharrell when
Speaker 1: he wore this big hat. So what, it's a toddler.
Speaker 1: Just relaxed, folks. It's three toddlers wrapped around my skull
Speaker 1: with duct tape. But so again, the cost cutting a doge.
Speaker 1: They fired up to three hundred and fifty employees at
Speaker 1: the National Nuclear Security Administration. These are the people who
Speaker 1: fucking work on nuclear weapons, okay, and are tasked with
Speaker 1: all that kind of safety. So once that happened, they
Speaker 1: were like, oh shit, maybe we should have just blindly
Speaker 1: been cutting this group, because they very quickly tried to
Speaker 1: reverse the termination. This from the BBC quote The trumpet
Speaker 1: Trump administration has since tried to reverse their terminations, according
Speaker 1: to media outlets, but has reportedly struggled to reach the
Speaker 1: people that were fired after they were locked out of
Speaker 1: their federal email accounts. A memo sent to employees Friday
Speaker 1: said that quote the termination letters for some NNSA probationary
Speaker 1: employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a
Speaker 1: good way to get in touch with those personnel. Please
Speaker 1: work with your supervisors to send this information once you
Speaker 1: get it to people's personal contact emails. Wow.
Speaker 3: Sorry, on a level of fucking up at the largest,
Speaker 3: most high stakes level that you possibly could exactly.
Speaker 1: Do you actually know them? Do you know anybody who
Speaker 1: got fired? Would you reach out to them for me?
Speaker 1: Like one of the people, like one of the places
Speaker 1: that got hit with cuts was this plant near like Amarillo, Texas.
Speaker 1: The people there they work on reassembling war nuclear warheads. Wow,
Speaker 1: which is one of the apparently most sensitive jobs you
Speaker 1: can have in this like industry or whatever in this
Speaker 1: in this department, and you need the highest level of clearance.
Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, fucking fine Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: Yeah anyway, So, I mean, so we talked last week
Speaker 3: about the theory that they are, you know, fucking things
Speaker 3: up on purpose. Like we talked about how they, uh
Speaker 3: like have taken the most important high level intelligence threat
Speaker 3: assessors out of like the president's daily like threat everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the theory being that they don't.
Speaker 3: Give a fuck if there's a massive terrror attack because
Speaker 3: they will be able to use that the way that
Speaker 3: Putin used his own bombings of multiple apartment complexes in
Speaker 3: Moscow as a way to consolidate power. I know, I know,
Speaker 3: this sounds like a conspiracy theory. It is, like, go
Speaker 3: look it up in any reputable news source. It's documented
Speaker 3: Putin bombed a bunch of apartment buildings himself and then
Speaker 3: blamed it on I think che himself. I mean, he
Speaker 3: didn't set the bomb and light light along cues and
Speaker 3: then put his fingers in his ear. But uh so,
Speaker 3: like the theory being that, like they seem to be
Speaker 3: making a lot of decisions that are endangering the lives
Speaker 3: of people.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: On the one hand, it's just like it's the sort
Speaker 3: of incompetence we saw like the first administration. You know,
Speaker 3: during the election, we were talking about how the really
Speaker 3: scary thing is that during the first administration there were
Speaker 3: a bunch of people who were just their job was
Speaker 3: to ignore the crazy shit that Donald Trump told them
Speaker 3: to do, and like that's what they saw their position
Speaker 3: as they were Republicans, but they were you know, career
Speaker 3: officers or you know, just had done that. Yeah, bureau
Speaker 3: and so now those people aren't there, so it could
Speaker 3: just be sheer incompetence. But on the other hand, like
Speaker 3: I don't know, the more volatile and chaotic things get,
Speaker 3: the more he seems to thrive. Donald Trump as a
Speaker 3: like as a political environment, as a political operator. So
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if it's one or the other,
Speaker 3: but it does seem like he doesn't give a fun
Speaker 3: Like every time there's a plane crash, he gets to
Speaker 3: come out and just give a press conference where he
Speaker 3: blames it on DEI or something, you know, So like
Speaker 3: why that's not difficult for him. That's just another opportunity
Speaker 3: for him to get a bunch of cameras on him,
Speaker 3: play important president who's like calming the nation, and also
Speaker 3: like get his wild ass racist takes out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's basically throwing our bodies into the machinery
Speaker 1: to stop the machine. To be like I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: a couple of many of you people out there in
Speaker 1: the United States may have to lose your life until
Speaker 1: I can fully shut this thing down or create a
Speaker 1: level of chaos that allows me to ascend to the
Speaker 1: levels that I feel I need to. And I mean like,
Speaker 1: you know, you see all the court cases that aren't
Speaker 1: going his way, and how that's like just making him
Speaker 1: angrier and angrier. Yeah, it's clear that that the there
Speaker 1: we don't benefit from ignoring the fact that this is intentional,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think because that, I think there
Speaker 1: is a level where it's like it's easier to be like, wow, this,
Speaker 1: this guy who's so out of his depth is screwing
Speaker 1: everything up, and maybe accepting the fact that like someone
Speaker 1: who is very dangerous is now again sitting at all
Speaker 1: these levers and deciding to just do whatever the fuck
Speaker 1: he wants in order to at what he wants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the let's take a quick break, we'll
Speaker 3: come back, we'll talk briefly about the the putin of
Speaker 3: it all. We'll be right back, and we're back. And
Speaker 3: I mean, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the
Speaker 3: Elon Dick rumors.
Speaker 6: Right, like, huh, they're growing, there's a growing course are
Speaker 6: growings are growing unlike Elon Musk's dick.
Speaker 1: So what huh?
Speaker 3: So a lot of people are pointing out, but there's
Speaker 3: another woman who claims that she's like a MAGA influencer.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of people pointing out over the
Speaker 3: weekend that while it seems like he's just famous person
Speaker 3: who keeps having sex and you know, impregnating people, like a.
Speaker 2: Lot of these are happening.
Speaker 3: Via IVF, I wrote, yeah, uh, and there and then
Speaker 3: like a lot of the kids are male, like not
Speaker 3: all of them, but many of the kids are male
Speaker 3: that he's doing. And so this is like given rise to,
Speaker 3: you know, some rumors that there's something going on with that,
Speaker 3: that he has like a weird dick basically, which is
Speaker 3: something that we've we've heard about plenty of uh, you know,
Speaker 3: monsters on a historic scale that like they're motivated by
Speaker 3: some something weird going on downstairs.
Speaker 2: So it's there, it's out there on the internet.
Speaker 3: We we haven't done our due diligence to figure out
Speaker 3: all all the details, but you know, we'd be remiss
Speaker 3: if we didn't just at least say people are saying
Speaker 3: and we we don't know, and we don't know it's
Speaker 3: true or not that he had a botched implant procedure
Speaker 3: that gave him a weird robodic that doesn't really work.
Speaker 1: So anyways, good luck with that.
Speaker 3: We're so far down the road with the Trump administration
Speaker 3: that it's even like hard to remember that from the start,
Speaker 3: we found it weird that his priorities are so deeply
Speaker 3: and clearly and openly aligned with Vladimir Putins. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: we got a nice reminder over the weekend where they
Speaker 3: like they just basically went to Europe and fully aligned
Speaker 3: with Putin's positions on Ukraine and like also told Western
Speaker 3: Europe that they should be scared of the real danger,
Speaker 3: which is not Russia. It's you the European government's being
Speaker 3: too mean to your right wing, not the aligned parties.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like the like he almost touches on something
Speaker 1: real too, like because this is true of so many governments.
Speaker 1: It's like it's it's not the free speech part, it's
Speaker 1: the thing, the inequality part, right, that's what's causing any
Speaker 1: deterioration we're seeing right now. But I like that they
Speaker 1: got to do the thing, do the misdirection to avoid
Speaker 1: talking about the real part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but it is, you know, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's like so far down the road, it's hard to
Speaker 3: remember that. We just kind of got over the fact
Speaker 3: that he mysteriously is like willing to bend over backwards
Speaker 3: to do Putin's bidding.
Speaker 2: And you know, the liberal media was.
Speaker 3: Spent so much time looking for a smoking gun where
Speaker 3: like Putin had some sort of tangible leverage over Trump
Speaker 3: that we just now people are like, oh, Russia Gate, Okay,
Speaker 3: but it's just could be that Putin is continuing to
Speaker 3: manipulate him. Uh, because he is the most easily manipulatable
Speaker 3: person who has ever wielded power, is my theory of
Speaker 3: the case. Like, you don't need a pee tape, you
Speaker 3: just need somebody who's willing to compliment him and.
Speaker 1: A bit of debt, a little bit of debt, you know, who.
Speaker 3: Has a shitload of money. Yeah, which is again the
Speaker 3: only thing that trumpets.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, they're they're like, the US is like
Speaker 1: negotiating with Russia without Zelensky at the table now, and
Speaker 1: Zelensky is like, Nona, I will not accept anything that
Speaker 1: comes out of a negotiation where we're not present, Like
Speaker 1: what the fuck are you guys talking about? And I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a profound kind of shift, it seems like
Speaker 1: because now now the Europeans are realizing, they're like, I
Speaker 1: think America has compromised. Yikes, that's fucking scary. And part
Speaker 1: of me is like, please beat our ass Europe. We
Speaker 1: need a wake up call. I don't know what's gonna happen,
Speaker 1: but somebody yell at us please. Yeah, it's it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, all those leaders came away, they had have
Speaker 1: like an emergency meeting with just like okay, all Europeans
Speaker 1: only get it here now, Like what the fuck is
Speaker 1: going on with them? What are we gonna do?
Speaker 3: What the European Avengers unite and please come together in
Speaker 3: a just the rooms so dense with cigarette smoked that
Speaker 3: you can't see three feet in front of you.
Speaker 1: They were surprisingly none of them were smoking. They're all
Speaker 1: doing zen oh.
Speaker 2: In honor of uh yeah, trying to get in the
Speaker 2: head space.
Speaker 1: Of d exactly exactly, all right.
Speaker 2: Should we check in with Luigi man Gioni.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he uh.
Speaker 3: He released a statement thanking his supporters, and he did
Speaker 3: it on the most boring looking website of all time.
Speaker 3: It's it looks like a word doc yeah, with some
Speaker 3: tabs at the top. I mean he hate square space,
Speaker 3: Luigi square space.
Speaker 1: They can they can give you something real slick, man,
Speaker 1: something real slick. If you want it anyway, shut it
Speaker 1: and you just use offer code TDZ manz your first
Speaker 1: month there.
Speaker 2: They haven't advertised on our site for years.
Speaker 1: On our I always use a guy.
Speaker 2: I just I like to say throwback man. These guys
Speaker 2: are loyal. But yeah.
Speaker 3: He released a statement thanking his supporters, and the website
Speaker 3: also contains an FAQ section which reveals that people can
Speaker 3: donate to his give Send Go campaign. Uh, and they
Speaker 3: politely ask that people stop sending him books and also
Speaker 3: he needs to uh he is able to receive photos.
Speaker 1: Oh great, well then let me just take my shirt off.
Speaker 3: But due to the volume of photos, people need to
Speaker 3: limit themselves to just five photos at a time.
Speaker 2: So essentially I'm gonna have to insist that you send
Speaker 2: no more books and only five more nudes per person
Speaker 2: max five and given time at a time.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: So wow, I like it is very like without saying it,
Speaker 1: saying something like just to keep in mind that you know,
Speaker 1: the people at the you know, facility do look at
Speaker 1: everything that is saying so creeping might be looking at
Speaker 1: your nudes. Also, just so you know, or you're very
Speaker 1: normal photos that you want to send Luigi Mangioni of
Speaker 1: you and a Golden Retriever. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Not my.
Speaker 2: Room to judge here, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah not at all, not at all.
Speaker 2: I was gonna put a question mark after like the
Speaker 2: are they sending him nudes?
Speaker 1: But like what else?
Speaker 2: What other pictures are people sending him?
Speaker 4: Mmmm?
Speaker 2: Health care?
Speaker 3: I mean I only sent nudes, trying, like I'm trying
Speaker 3: to think of just like using my imagination for what
Speaker 3: I want to send Luigi Mangoni because it's not like it's.
Speaker 1: Like a preschool or like, oh, send pictures of fire trucks.
Speaker 1: You know, he loves looking at fire trucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, please, not even every photo that is received is
Speaker 3: screened and reviewed by law enforcements.
Speaker 1: Reviewed and jacked off to group of like armed people
Speaker 1: who are like, we're gonna bust you out, Luigi. They're like, guys,
Speaker 1: that's you're making it hot for yourself by sending stuff
Speaker 1: like that, even though obviously you're joking. But hey, but
Speaker 1: I kind of do like that. The it's better that
Speaker 1: the site is so normal looking, like so standard, that.
Speaker 3: It's not like dracklash animation with like his head like
Speaker 3: from profile like turning around, yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, joan man kind of in bad taste?
Speaker 1: Is that actually angus playing on there okay.
Speaker 3: Shit, yeah, all right. Those are some of the things
Speaker 3: that happened over the weekend. We are back tomorrow with
Speaker 3: a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be
Speaker 3: kind to each other, be kind to yourself. Get your
