Speaker 1: You know, the pool is in the sixties right now

Speaker 2: that was stupid.
Speaker 1: Well but her warms you up. The laps warm you up.
Speaker 1: But it has done something to my hair where it is,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I can't. I can't think of an example
Speaker 1: of like somebody who has had this quite hair going on.
Speaker 1: But it's it's.
Speaker 2: Like Michael Richards and I'd hate to bring up the
Speaker 2: disgraced racism.
Speaker 1: It's what I'm going for, but I just feel like

Speaker 2: very like non traditional wedding, Like there was no efficient
Speaker 2: It was like a lot of just like offerings of
Speaker 2: like love and shit, very hippy, very crunchy, very crunchy.
Speaker 2: But it was dope because I've never really been to
Speaker 2: a wedding that like goes that far away from the
Speaker 2: typical sort of trappings of a wedding, and it was beautiful.
Speaker 2: Because in a way like this really distills like the
Speaker 2: love of the two people down into this very potent
Speaker 2: form and you're like, no, man, like basking the love
Speaker 2: of these two people, Like don't worry about if there's
Speaker 2: a ain't no DJ, but the Spotify playlist is licked.
Speaker 2: Don't worry if there's no one presiding over it, because
Speaker 2: it was all like music and yeah, it was great,
Speaker 2: it's great.
Speaker 1: How are the how are the parents of the married
Speaker 1: folks dealing with great? They did good?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, what do you mean? Like what what what?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just curious if they if the
Speaker 1: like very new fangled politicians know.
Speaker 2: They they are of like these are the parents of
Speaker 2: those people? Okay?
Speaker 1: Got it?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, like it makes sense, like, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 2: It was just crunchy love all around crunchy love. Yeah.
Speaker 2: How about you not just pulling it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just pulling it, man, just hanging out my pool?
Speaker 2: And what kind of you moisturize? And what kind of
Speaker 2: what's you? What do you do afterwards? Like are you
Speaker 2: just rinsing your hair off? You?
Speaker 1: Are you adding sometimes? And sometimes I'm forget, like I
Speaker 1: don't have time to take a shower after all, and
Speaker 1: I think that's what's going on up here. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. But anybody, any wifeguards, let me know what
Speaker 1: if you have any suggestions. It has gotten It's given
Speaker 1: me a whole new look.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I.
Speaker 1: Could fool some facial recognition stuff with what I got
Speaker 1: going on right now.
Speaker 2: You got that just like the closer to like, the
Speaker 2: higher the hair, the closer to God mentality going on
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 1: That's right. Ben Schwartz, I think also had hair like this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at certain points in his career. Anyways, Miles, should we
Speaker 1: tell them some things we think are overrated and under it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to kick us off?
Speaker 2: What do we do first? Under over? Let's under it.
Speaker 2: I felt terrible writing this because it felt so cliched
Speaker 2: for this show, But Taco Bell is underrated, not because
Speaker 2: I'm about to be like it's good.
Speaker 1: Therefore, like house some Taco Bell. This weekend, it was
Speaker 1: so good.
Speaker 2: I was at this wedding right fucking with the such
Speaker 2: a diverse cost of people, and like a lot of
Speaker 2: us were sharing a house and a lot of these
Speaker 2: people like I know pretty well, and we're talking like
Speaker 2: people across the entire spectrum from like occupations like working
Speaker 2: for the federal government, like autism and ADHD, like PhD researchers,
Speaker 2: fucking English teachers, people that work in tech identities across
Speaker 2: like the gender spectruck everything, like every everybody was in there,
Speaker 2: okay yea, And at the end of the wedding night
Speaker 2: we were fucking you know what they can get the
Speaker 2: post wedding you're like, damn, I can eat again, Like
Speaker 2: I really could eat again, And there was this so
Speaker 2: like we were all trying to figure out what to eat.
Speaker 2: We everybody clocked that there was a taco bell nearby
Speaker 2: the house that we were staying at, but nobody mentioned
Speaker 2: that they clocked the taco bell.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And then like slowly we're like, shit, what's open this late?
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. And then like one per I was
Speaker 2: like there's a taco bell and theother was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I saw that up the street. Then it caused a
Speaker 2: chain reaction and then like everyone's kind of like mumbling
Speaker 2: on non commital first like I don't know, maybe like
Speaker 2: we could get taco bell, And then there was unanimous
Speaker 2: agreement across the yes, like the great people were like
Speaker 2: I wanted to say that but I wasn't sure. We
Speaker 2: bought so many motherfuckers, so many party packs, Like it
Speaker 2: was wild to like the celebration people that was your order.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, I knew it.
Speaker 2: And the way we ate this fucking taco it was alarming,
Speaker 2: Like Her Majesty's like my in laws were also there
Speaker 2: and like and like another group of parents of like
Speaker 2: friends I know were there and they watched it like
Speaker 2: you guys are just waiting for the taco bell to
Speaker 2: get here, like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And then
Speaker 2: when they saw no, they were not they were not aware.
Speaker 2: They were not aware of the of the bell. They
Speaker 2: did not they lived menos, they did not live mas okay.
Speaker 2: And when they when like afterwards, when they saw the
Speaker 2: amount of food, they're like, you guys are gonna eat
Speaker 2: all this? We're like, yeah watch this shit. Ye yeah,
Speaker 2: like you never seen one hundred and fifty dollars worth
Speaker 2: of taco bell wow, buckle up, and yeah we killed it.
Speaker 2: So shout out everybody in the house and also just
Speaker 2: the uniting power and everyone just had stories. Like one
Speaker 2: woman I know, she was saying she she owns taco
Speaker 2: bells or like young brand stock because like ever since
Speaker 2: she was a child, she's been obsessed with Taco Bell,
Speaker 2: and like in the school econ project, like in like
Speaker 2: high school, they had to buy like a couple dollars
Speaker 2: worth of stock in the stock market when people diversified.
Speaker 2: She bought all Taco Bell and she's still holding onto
Speaker 2: that a little bit of stock. She's like, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I got my shares.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: And you know, people all had different stories like that,
Speaker 2: So shout out to fast food completely destroying our brains.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, My underrated is the model of human
Speaker 1: psychology in the movie Elemental.
Speaker 2: Oh so you go a low brow with yours. I
Speaker 2: do a little high brow, you do a little low brow. Okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not on the Taco Bell level. I'm
Speaker 1: on the children's movie psychology. The new Pixar movie is
Speaker 1: finally on Disney Plus. It's fine, but they have this
Speaker 1: thing in there that like I've thought about a lot,
Speaker 1: and like as I've gotten older, and I think is
Speaker 1: like truer and truer of me, which is so the
Speaker 1: main character keeps losing her temper on that. So she's
Speaker 1: like set to inherit her father's shop, she keeps losing
Speaker 1: her temper on the customers, and it's treated like a
Speaker 1: thing for her to overcome. But then her love interest,
Speaker 1: who is water, she's fire, is like, when I lose
Speaker 1: my temper, it's usually just like something to the effect
Speaker 1: of like my inner self telling me something I'm not
Speaker 1: ready to hear, and she doesn't like unlock it right then,
Speaker 1: but she keeps like fighting against this belief that she
Speaker 1: should in, you know, or fighting to like sustain this belief.
Speaker 1: And I don't like this idea of human psychology, whether
Speaker 1: it be like your temper or like self sabotage. Like
Speaker 1: people talk a lot about self sabotage, and when people
Speaker 1: talk about self sabotaging, they always side with the person
Speaker 1: who's being sabotaged. But the saboteur is trying to tell
Speaker 1: you something.
Speaker 2: In my experience, like most I'm sorry, when you're people,
Speaker 2: you mean, people side with the person themselves rather than
Speaker 2: their instinct to sabotage themselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And like I feel like in my life, like
Speaker 1: the saboteur is trying to tell me, like, at various times, Oh,
Speaker 1: this career that you're trying to force your way down
Speaker 1: is actually not the right one, or you know that
Speaker 1: relationship doesn't work for you, or you know, like I
Speaker 1: was experiencing a lot of social anxiety around like certain people,
Speaker 1: and I would, you know, try and figure out, like
Speaker 1: how do I not experience as much social anxiety? And
Speaker 1: like for a long time it was like, well, I
Speaker 1: just drink to get around it. But you know, ultimately,
Speaker 1: as I've gotten older and like been in therapy for
Speaker 1: a while, I feel like the thing that was just
Speaker 1: my my social anxiety was not like a bug. It
Speaker 1: was like trying to tell me like maybe these aren't
Speaker 1: the people that you fuck with, you know, like maybe
Speaker 1: this is just like you don't feel great around these
Speaker 1: people because there's like something about them that you're like
Speaker 1: not super into that we're not vibing with. Like sure
Speaker 1: that statement of like there's that cliche like we contain multitudes, right,
Speaker 1: I think that that's truer and truer, But like we
Speaker 1: only have access to like a small number of them
Speaker 1: with our conscious mind, and so they will act out
Speaker 1: on us through you know, things we seem seemingly do
Speaker 1: by accident or things like that come out through a
Speaker 1: temper or just like gut feelings or something like that
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: realizing I need to unlearn like some concepts and just
Speaker 1: like listen to myself, you know.
Speaker 2: Right right right, because yeah, some that's sort of like
Speaker 2: the last ditch effort of your subconscious being like, fuck
Speaker 2: you do, I need to fuck this up for you
Speaker 2: for us to move on, versus like, yeah, having that
Speaker 2: level of self awareness to say, like have I I
Speaker 2: felt this way a lot too, where I had such
Speaker 2: a singular focus that I was like I need to
Speaker 2: be on SNL and like that's the only thing I
Speaker 2: could do, and that led me to a lot of
Speaker 2: fucking bad places, like just more like emotionally and how
Speaker 2: like I had such a rigid sort of concept of
Speaker 2: what my future could be or should be, that it
Speaker 2: was at the expense of recognizing all these other things
Speaker 2: that I liked to do. And yeah, like I know that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it took a moment. It never manifested to be sabotaging
Speaker 2: anything necessarily, but there was a lot of like it
Speaker 2: just felt like it was a slog to do certain things.
Speaker 2: I felt like, I'm like, this isn't fucking flowing right,
Speaker 2: But part of my mind was like it's because you
Speaker 2: don't want it hard enough, right, And I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: I might not actually just want this. I think it's
Speaker 2: because I was Since I was a child, I was
Speaker 2: told I was funny over and over and in the
Speaker 2: nineties people were like, you're going to be on a
Speaker 2: Living Color? Do you want to be on that CNL?
Speaker 2: And then you take that shit with you and then
Speaker 2: you have you completely sort of abandon any other possibility
Speaker 2: for yourself. So I definitely see that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah like that. Sometimes I personally need
Speaker 1: to listen to get on sn I could get on easily. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's super easy and only has to do with how
Speaker 1: funny you are and nothing to do with love or
Speaker 1: who you know, whether you're like a second generation like
Speaker 1: literally like your dad was a writer on SNL.
Speaker 2: Dad's Tim Hurley.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but sometimes I do feel like I just like
Speaker 1: need to listen to what my own actions are telling
Speaker 1: me what I want instead of like what I want
Speaker 1: to want.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm I realized all of this because.
Speaker 2: Of Elemental Shout Out Elemental No.
Speaker 1: I it just like it was kind of like a
Speaker 1: deep point and like it's a pretty mediocre Pixar movie,
Speaker 1: like compared to other Pixar movies.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a pretty interesting idea, like psychological
Speaker 1: concept that was kind of buried in there.
Speaker 2: So good And what did your kids have the same
Speaker 2: takeaway too?
Speaker 1: Where they had to they were like interesting, this says
Speaker 1: some interesting things about self sabotage.
Speaker 2: Know yourself, embrace yourself.
Speaker 1: What's what something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2: A couple of things. First off is the fucking obsession
Speaker 2: with Taylor Swift dating dating this Elsie guy Kelse whatever. Yeah. Uh,
Speaker 2: I just it's like I was fucking inundated with coverage
Speaker 2: about it online last night and this morning they walked
Speaker 2: away holding hands. He's got this outfit he wore is
Speaker 2: now named after tailor. They drove off in a convertible.
Speaker 2: There are so many fucking she's with his mom in
Speaker 2: the box. But remember she also met Tom Hiddleston's mom
Speaker 2: and we know where that went. And fucking it was
Speaker 2: just it was just too much. I you know, shout
Speaker 2: out to her. Be happy. I hope y'all are happy.
Speaker 2: Like it's because has nothing to It's not like Taylor's
Speaker 2: out there be like y'all need to report on this.
Speaker 2: It's just that our culture, like having this focus on it,
Speaker 2: it just felt so I don't know. At a certain point,
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is corny, Like this feels like an
Speaker 2: early nineties rom com about like the superstar who's secretly
Speaker 2: dating the football player. And then like the third act
Speaker 2: climax is her like finally being at the gamer was
Speaker 2: like act and so like to me, I was like,
Speaker 2: this is just so boring.
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's also interesting to think about in
Speaker 1: the context of like the stuff we've said with regards
Speaker 1: to her being a religious figure and like these artists
Speaker 1: and religious figures like when a religiou Like if suddenly
Speaker 1: people were like, oh, the Virgin Mary is dating Grunk,
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, They're like, yo Jesus for her.
Speaker 2: HEYESU Cristo out here, ca noodling with Mary Magna doodle
Speaker 2: out here? Whoa wow, good y'all. So anyway, like just
Speaker 2: it nothing like again, I always want people to be happy,
Speaker 2: get what you get what you want. But the coverage
Speaker 2: of it just like I just couldn't believe how many Hey,
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, what do you think? And I was like,
Speaker 2: this is so fucking annoying, Like I'm sure, and he
Speaker 2: was even like it's good the best catch of his
Speaker 2: career right there. No, yes, dude, Belichick said that some
Speaker 2: ship like that was the headline. Didn't even bother because
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't be leave. Everyone is trying
Speaker 2: to make find an angle in with this, like whether
Speaker 2: it's about the car or the restaurant or Bill Belichick
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 1: Belichick would be the funniest person I can imagine to
Speaker 1: like do try to try to conduct a like right turn,
Speaker 1: like at this late stage of his career into like
Speaker 1: TMZ cultural commentators. He's like on the panel shows where
Speaker 1: he's like, that's a great catch all football meta.
Speaker 2: Apparently Belichick is a swiftye himself. Wow, so y'all, don't
Speaker 2: you can get touched out here? Okay, that's just that's
Speaker 2: the key, and so the other thing I also, so
Speaker 2: aside from that, the other thing I want to say
Speaker 2: was I just read that Alicia Keys is starting a
Speaker 2: fucking herbal te line called Alicia Teas. This is so
Speaker 2: stupid to me. This is I can't I don't why
Speaker 2: just because it rhymes, I don't think. I don't like
Speaker 2: this doesn't seem like a thing where you're like, oh yeah, okay, interesting, interesting,
Speaker 2: and I just again like celebrities are trying to be
Speaker 2: like branding themselves, like I'm gonna sell fucking tea.
Speaker 1: Alicia, Come on, Alicia T questions Alicia T.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a joke we would say off on
Speaker 2: this show, like a bad one.
Speaker 1: That would be like Brian cut that, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I actually cut that out. Yeah yeah, no, no, don't. I
Speaker 2: don't want anybody thinking that I actually think that shit.
Speaker 1: I love Yeah, my overrated. So I guess I have
Speaker 1: a question, But do you do you? Was the movie
Speaker 1: big for you? Important to you?
Speaker 2: What was his name? Josh Baskin?
Speaker 1: Josh Baskin. Josh Baskin has a problem.
Speaker 2: Dude, I fucked that movie fucking exploded my head.
Speaker 1: Yeah. As a kid, yeah, I love We had it
Speaker 1: on VHS. I probably watched it like three hundred times
Speaker 1: from the ages of eight to ten, and then like
Speaker 1: hadn't watched it again until I just watched it this
Speaker 1: weekend with my kids.
Speaker 2: Isn't isn't I haven't seen it in maybe ten or
Speaker 2: fifteen years. But isn't the the relationships a little bit weird?
Speaker 2: Isn't it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What you mean? The one where he's a child in
Speaker 1: an adult's body and he has a romantic relationship with
Speaker 1: a grown woman. Yeah yeah that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah that part. I was like I remember seeing
Speaker 2: it like ten or fifteen years ago and being like
Speaker 2: that's actually kind of weird ye aka problematic, but anyway, yeah,
Speaker 2: go on.
Speaker 1: So you're watching it, so I can't believe how much
Speaker 1: I remember, like everything from like editing, Like I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: here's the part coming up where like this guy's about
Speaker 1: to hit the hammer on the strength test and you're
Speaker 1: going to hear the bell, but they're gonna cut away
Speaker 1: from the bell before you hear it, and they're cutting
Speaker 1: away to the roller coaster at the car like I remembered. Yeah, everything,
Speaker 1: like just little details of character performance like it was crazy.
Speaker 1: It was like being out.
Speaker 2: Like the food they were like they were eating takeout from.
Speaker 1: Yes, like he got paid one hundred and eighty seven dollars,
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty seven dollars, Like his read of
Speaker 1: that line is like, it's not that it was like,
Speaker 1: oh I remember this. It was like, oh, this was
Speaker 1: always in my mind, just under the surface. The one
Speaker 1: thing that I hadn't remembered is Elizabeth Perkins, the love
Speaker 1: interest in that movie was dating a what is she like?
Speaker 1: What is he like? Twelve year old in an adult body?
Speaker 1: She's twenty eight in that movie.
Speaker 2: Mm okay she and like it just made me ure's
Speaker 2: twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the character's twenty eight, that's how
Speaker 1: old she is.
Speaker 2: Oh, and she's given.
Speaker 1: Real performance of like an aspiring society lady. And it
Speaker 1: just made me realize like there was weird things happening
Speaker 1: with age in the eighties, like where everybody wanted to
Speaker 1: look older, like everybody wanted to like be an adult.
Speaker 1: Like that was right. The movie's really about, like I
Speaker 1: think I overrated how much it was a kid's movie, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's really a movie like about observations about adult
Speaker 1: life and how weird adults.
Speaker 2: Are, right right, right, But you have someone we got
Speaker 2: to just embrace that inner child.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I don't know, it's crazy, like what
Speaker 1: if kid was an adult is Also that's also the
Speaker 1: premise of Pee Wee's Big Adventure, which was a movie
Speaker 1: night movie like a couple of weeks ago. And yeah,
Speaker 1: there was something going on in like the late eighties
Speaker 1: where everyone was like kid adult like they were just
Speaker 1: having a real tough time with the concept of growth.
Speaker 2: They're just like, yeah, it's either it's just a binary.
Speaker 2: It's like you're you're a child and then you become
Speaker 2: forty five years old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: There's no we don't know what an in between is
Speaker 2: unless it's some freaky machine fortune telling machine that did
Speaker 2: that to you. The thing was, I remember the fucking
Speaker 2: way I begged my fucking parents to take me to
Speaker 2: Fao Schwartz to hop on that gigantic piano. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I remember there was one in San Francisco and like
Speaker 2: they fucking had it roped off, like you couldn't even
Speaker 2: do shit on it. And I remember that became like
Speaker 2: the thing that every Fao Schwartz on earth had to
Speaker 2: have the big ass piano from Big in it that
Speaker 2: you could play chopsticks on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just like it was like dark and covered
Speaker 1: in sneaker tread.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some were used. Others were like, don't even fucking
Speaker 2: think about desecrating the sacred monument. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that movie lives forever.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. I guess my overrated is
Speaker 1: how how much that movie is a kid's movie? How
Speaker 1: old everyone I think I was overrating everyone's age in
Speaker 1: the eighties prior to this, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in my mind, she was like in her late thirties. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like the energy was someone who's like I've done it all,
Speaker 2: like now I'm just trying to focus on like my
Speaker 2: job and my career.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my parents were like in their mid thirties. Anyways,
Speaker 1: all right, those are some things we think is overrated, underrated. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break and we're going
Speaker 1: to come back and tell you about some news, a
Speaker 1: lot of it. And we're back, and the WGA has
Speaker 1: come to a tentative agreement with studios that appears to
Speaker 1: give writers what they were asking for all along, all
Speaker 1: the stuff that the studios and streamers were like, non starter,
Speaker 1: that's impossible. This is coming at the worst time for us,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: The worst time, record profits, record profits.
Speaker 1: We can't afford to give you the basic protections and
Speaker 1: requests that your earnings go up with the you know,
Speaker 1: record skyrocketing revenue. You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the way it was announced, I feel hopeful
Speaker 2: that this I hope that it is a group of
Speaker 2: actual good deal for the writers because like the way
Speaker 2: they're saying, like what we have won in this is
Speaker 2: This is a direct quote from the WJA. Well, we
Speaker 2: have won in this contract. Most particularly, everything we have
Speaker 2: gained since May second is due to the willingness of
Speaker 2: this membership to exercise its power, to demonstrate its solidarity,
Speaker 2: to walk side by side, to endure the pain and
Speaker 2: uncertainty of the past. Out of forty six days, it
Speaker 2: is the leverage generated by your strike, in concert with
Speaker 2: the extraordinary support of our union siblings, that finally brought
Speaker 2: the companies back to the table to make a deal.
Speaker 2: We can say with great pride that this deal is exceptional,
Speaker 2: with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector
Speaker 2: of the membership. I mean, I you know a lot
Speaker 2: of times when you see these back and forth, you
Speaker 2: get this, and then you see the deal and then
Speaker 2: there's I mean, it's nothing's ever going to be perfect,
Speaker 2: but sure the language and it helped makes me pretty
Speaker 2: hopeful that they did make a great deal, especially now
Speaker 2: like I felt like last week with Ted Sarandos what
Speaker 2: is his name, Sarandon's Sarandos, Yeah, Sirandos from Netflix and
Speaker 2: Bob Iger now like literally coming to the table to
Speaker 2: fucking figure this shit out. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is serious now. But yeah, good for them. And
Speaker 2: also they said they until they're still going to be
Speaker 2: you know, they're still not working, and I think that
Speaker 2: they're still pickting until you know, the rank and file
Speaker 2: membership ratifies the agreement and votes on it. But they
Speaker 2: also said they will not go back to work until
Speaker 2: SAG after it also gets theirs too, so the solidarity continues. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 2: which is great to see. And hey, turns out striking works.
Speaker 1: Almost like striking works, and unions actually get you the
Speaker 1: thing that you need to protect a job from. Yeah,
Speaker 1: going away for love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, love a bit of worker power. Love to see it.
Speaker 2: And also, like I know in California there was a
Speaker 2: bill that the state Senate pass that basically would extend
Speaker 2: unemployment benefits to striking workers. Yeah. So that's also a
Speaker 2: huge tool, uh for workers to you know, exercise their
Speaker 2: power because they don't have to rely on like or
Speaker 2: have the you know, the whole thing of like what
Speaker 2: do I do money wise if I'm striking for my
Speaker 2: own rights?
Speaker 1: Don't we think Friends would have been better if it
Speaker 1: was written by people who were part time gig economy workers,
Speaker 1: Like that's the question you know, Yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: can all agree.
Speaker 2: I mean, and I could get I could get being
Speaker 2: Ai Chat to give me a synopsis of an episode
Speaker 2: of that, which I will tell you after the break.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But when companies like tell us they absolutely need
Speaker 1: every penny that they hold out on, it turns out
Speaker 1: their line they can always they can always make it
Speaker 1: work if you force them to. And the only way
Speaker 1: that I've seen that seems to work forcing companies to
Speaker 1: cut the bullshit is collective power. So shout out to them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, there's a there's a new poll that finds
Speaker 1: Trump winning by ten points and it's I don't.
Speaker 2: Know so that.
Speaker 1: This is a ABC Washington Post poll. It says Trump
Speaker 1: is the head of Biden by ten points fifty two
Speaker 1: percent forty two percent. Obviously that's going to make people panic.
Speaker 1: It is starkly different than other poles which placed them
Speaker 1: Brinkley Neck and Brinkley Neck. We just got an NBC
Speaker 1: poll that found them both tied at forty six percent.
Speaker 1: And some outlets are calling the post ABC poll a shock,
Speaker 1: which is weird because the same poll, like they use
Speaker 1: the same collection methods, found back in May Trump at
Speaker 1: forty nine and Biden at forty two, and at that
Speaker 1: time everyone was like yees. So it's just like a
Speaker 1: weird outlier. It doesn't doesn't mean shit. But now we're
Speaker 1: getting closer, I think people are more willing to panic
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, there's been more Biden to
Speaker 1: old stories. So and I'm panicking just a little bit
Speaker 1: because Trump doesn't tend to underperform his polling. He actually
Speaker 1: tends to intellectual politics. Like in presidential elections. Up to
Speaker 1: this point he has overperformed his polling. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's granted, like we haven't seen him run since the Republicans,
Speaker 1: you know, attacked human rights and appealed Roe v. Wade,
Speaker 1: but he has been willing to soften his stance on
Speaker 1: that we've seen before that Trump, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just makes me nervous. It's a it's a deep
Speaker 1: dark abyss that we stand on the precipice of the
Speaker 1: possibility of him running and winning. But and the outlier
Speaker 1: polls are like Trump's up by ten. Are there outlier
Speaker 1: poles that are like Biden is up by ten? No,
Speaker 1: we're just not seeing Yeah, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2: I've heard it the most the normal or like the
Speaker 2: majority of them that I've seen, it's like he has
Speaker 2: like a slight it's basically an advantage within the margin
Speaker 2: of error. Yeah, but I don't know. I mean part
Speaker 2: of me like when I you know, just watching the
Speaker 2: EBB and flow of articles like going from like Biden's
Speaker 2: too old, I felt like there was then this push
Speaker 2: from the establishment where I saw a lot of articles
Speaker 2: that were just like like Trump is going, like it's
Speaker 2: we cannot fucking lose to Trump, okay, and if he,
Speaker 2: if he wins, it's over for this group. If he wins,
Speaker 2: it's over for this And I believe that, you know,
Speaker 2: Trump is going to just make things absolutely worse. But
Speaker 2: then I'm like, we always talk about how Trump has
Speaker 2: been like this gift to the Democrats because they don't
Speaker 2: have to advance their policy agentical anyway. They can just
Speaker 2: go they can just rely on this guy can't fucking wine,
Speaker 2: and that's the best thing for the status quo. If
Speaker 2: the election is merely about this guy can't win, and
Speaker 2: it's not about a housing crisis, it's not about like
Speaker 2: income inequality and worker rights and shit like that, and
Speaker 2: it just becomes this guy can't win it's like a
Speaker 2: gift to the establishment, so pardon me. Also too, is
Speaker 2: like this also also helps further an argument against trying
Speaker 2: to find someone else to run and they can just
Speaker 2: rely on well, I mean, Biden's done it before. He's
Speaker 2: done it before, and he may not be perfect, but
Speaker 2: he's done it before. It. As we just said earlier,
Speaker 2: Trump cannot win. And I know there are other things
Speaker 2: going on, but Trump cannot win, and I think centering that, yeah, again,
Speaker 2: it just makes it just sort of helps the chances
Speaker 2: for Biden to just for everyone just be like fuck.
Speaker 1: Like dig in on the current course because they're too scared.
Speaker 1: They're like, well, wha you know.
Speaker 2: I can't. I couldn't imagine, like and I know, like
Speaker 2: there you hear hear more and more people saying like, oh,
Speaker 2: I mean, like you got to consider what these polls
Speaker 2: say when even Democrats are like, we'd prefer someone else
Speaker 2: to run. Yeah, I don't know, it's just it's it's
Speaker 2: but I just can't, like, I feel like if there
Speaker 2: was a real appetite to find to find a different
Speaker 2: candidate to run, that would have happened a long time ago, right,
Speaker 2: And so I just feel like the advantage is to
Speaker 2: the establ for the establishment is Biden runs again because
Speaker 2: he's not going to rock the boat and they can
Speaker 2: just rely on this like Trump is so dangerous narrative
Speaker 2: to sort of ignore all the other really big issues
Speaker 2: that we have aside from the major fucking catastrophe threat,
Speaker 2: et cetera that looms over another Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's let's talk Senator Bob Menendez. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been indicted over a bribery scheme.
Speaker 2: This is this has been simmering for a while about
Speaker 2: what was going to happen with Senator Bob Andendez and
Speaker 2: he was indicted. Okay, double LP world excited, as we
Speaker 2: say here in this influenced scheme where the Senator was
Speaker 2: going to you know, used his power and you know,
Speaker 2: a fucking reputation to make some businessmen very rich while
Speaker 2: also helping the Egyptian government. And you know, the senator
Speaker 2: also apparently allegedly got some gifts too. They say. This
Speaker 2: is from the report from NBC. Quote. The charges include
Speaker 2: conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud,
Speaker 2: and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right.
Speaker 2: What a fancy term Wow. The bribes the couple received.
Speaker 2: This is Bob Menendez and his spouse included cash, gold bars,
Speaker 2: pavements toward a home, mortgage, compensation for a low or
Speaker 2: no show job, a luxury vehicle, and other items of value.
Speaker 2: When they did when they like you know, did a
Speaker 2: search or you know, searched his home last year, they
Speaker 2: found over four hundred and eighty thousand dollars in cash
Speaker 2: for him. Wow. And then his wife had like seventy
Speaker 2: grand in cash like in a fucking like a safe
Speaker 2: deposit box, but.
Speaker 1: Like the envelopes and hidden in clothing closet and a.
Speaker 2: Safe Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean Jack, those are details
Speaker 2: that I feel like just make Bob Menendez look more guilty.
Speaker 2: And I want to be like the other big demo
Speaker 2: old school democrats who have just been like what do
Speaker 2: you think this is bad? Hon, They're like, oh, he,
Speaker 2: Bob's gonna have to really think hard about the cloud
Speaker 2: this is gonna put over his service.
Speaker 1: Should he resign?
Speaker 2: Oh? I think it's too early to say something like that, right.
Speaker 2: John Fetterman is the only senator that has called for
Speaker 2: his resignation. Alexandria Kazo Cortez also and a few others
Speaker 2: in the House have. But otherwise there's a lot of
Speaker 2: fucking mumbling going on on the Democrat side. Just half.
Speaker 2: I mean again, if true, but it seems like this
Speaker 2: is I don't know, if there's just mistaken gold bars
Speaker 2: that he received for some other shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking he's dirty. A couple of gold bars laying
Speaker 1: around your house. Come on, I.
Speaker 2: Wish I had a fucking couple of gold bars laying
Speaker 2: around and then maybe maybe I should be a fucking
Speaker 2: senator so I could know the feeling of holding gold
Speaker 2: ingots uh in my fucking crusty little hands. But I mean, like,
Speaker 2: it's just well, Menendez himself so far. I know he's
Speaker 2: giving a press conference later today. He said I'm going nowhere, okay, wow,
Speaker 2: And but he did. He got he did get a
Speaker 2: show of support from another upstanding member of Congress, George Santos.
Speaker 2: It was like, we got to just let process play out, happen,
Speaker 2: the presumption of innocence here.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know, are we just going to write who
Speaker 1: you want?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? So I'm like, I thought being bad. I
Speaker 2: thought getting indicted is bad Democrats because when it was Trump,
Speaker 2: y'all were like, fuck terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, reminds me of the fact that Lauren Bobert and
Speaker 1: the guy she was given the overpants hand job too,
Speaker 1: we're both like bar owners and like he you know,
Speaker 1: he was a Democrat and she was a Republican. But like,
Speaker 1: the solidarity is with your fellow you know what, whatever,
Speaker 1: the like the people who have the same career and
Speaker 1: income level as you, like, not with their political beliefs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that stuff's all flexible.
Speaker 2: It'd be like that that meme from a predator, you know,
Speaker 2: you son of a bitch. And they do like the
Speaker 2: two sides'es like Democrats Republicans, and the hand coming together
Speaker 2: is their horniness as we saw there. But apparently they've
Speaker 2: been dating for months and she's trying to be like
Speaker 2: this looks like I need to just look at the
Speaker 2: political beliefs of the people I date on dating apps.
Speaker 2: So we will watch, we'll watch along as the Democrats
Speaker 2: continue to, you know, also exercise these baffling amounts of hypocrisy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's take one more break and we'll
Speaker 1: come back. And we're back. And the expend for blespend
Speaker 1: spendables expended expend four balls foibles. Uh, so it hit
Speaker 1: theaters with critics hailing it as the opposite of a
Speaker 1: must see and an embarrassment for all involved. That's the
Speaker 1: most fucked so mean.
Speaker 2: It's not even like scathing artsy ship, just like it's
Speaker 2: the opposite of a m an embarrassment for all involved.
Speaker 2: Is so fucked up so much. I love but yeah,
Speaker 2: go off, go off critics.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So uh. Shockingly, it did not do well at
Speaker 1: the box office. It made just eight point three million
Speaker 1: dollars over the weekend with a budget of one hundred
Speaker 1: around one hundred million dollars. So and this was the
Speaker 1: worst weekend at the box office so far this year.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that had anything to do with suddenly
Speaker 1: the studios being like, we got to get a deal here, folks,
Speaker 1: this is looking bleak. But I feel like all I
Speaker 1: needed to know about how this movie was going to
Speaker 1: be received was like you you can go to the
Speaker 1: Expendables character Wikipedia page and it has a chart with
Speaker 1: like who is in each film and you got your
Speaker 1: Jason Statham slashed alone, Dolph Lunggren, Randy Coutour are all
Speaker 1: are in all four that right. Jet Lee got off
Speaker 1: the bus after three. Terry Cruz got off the bus
Speaker 1: after three. Arnold Schwarzenegger got off the bus after three
Speaker 1: was then the first three and he bailed, uh for expendables.
Speaker 1: Three they brought in like Wesley Snipes, They brought in
Speaker 1: you know, Ronda Rowsey, Antonio Banderaz, you know, they were
Speaker 1: they were covering all the all the quadrants for that one.
Speaker 1: This time to replace Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jetly in a
Speaker 1: movie about like iconic action heroes. Yeah, they brought in
Speaker 1: fifty cent and Megan Fox.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they did. Yeah. Yeah, I'll give Tony
Speaker 2: Jaws cool with Tony Jaw's back of Martial Arts ship,
Speaker 2: but wow, fifty and Megan Fox.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I heard also that Sylvester Stallone is barely in
Speaker 2: this one, and he's like the reason this shit even happened,
Speaker 2: Like he's the co creator of this city. He directed
Speaker 2: the first one. Yeah, and like wrote I think the
Speaker 2: first three or co wrote, right and and writing in
Speaker 2: him and then this one apparently he was like not
Speaker 2: don't want to do the for the one, so an embarrassment.
Speaker 2: Everybody don't know that rights.
Speaker 1: I don't know Dolphine projects, like dolph was was driving
Speaker 1: the bus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, but I mean, I guess
Speaker 2: it'll make its money outside of the US. It's like
Speaker 2: where they mostly they've been making a lot.
Speaker 1: Of They made eighty percent of its money outside of
Speaker 1: North America last time around, so they're hoping for a
Speaker 1: similar turn of events here. But it does it seems
Speaker 1: to be kind of pretty pretty soggy everywhere.
Speaker 2: I just feel like, yeah, it's also just such a
Speaker 2: bad time for us to be celebrating elderly people with
Speaker 2: too much power. Yeah right, it's just like what a
Speaker 2: weird mad thematically, We're we're not really feeling this right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I can. I also see that aspect of like
Speaker 2: I'll give a fuck about Dolph Lungren and fucking so
Speaker 2: Jason stuff.
Speaker 1: Fuck no, Yeah, it's like Space Cowboys if it was
Speaker 1: an action movie like that. That that's the premise is
Speaker 1: like old people like have rights too, and they can
Speaker 1: still do stuff as like old people are about to
Speaker 1: like drive the country over the edge of a cliff.
Speaker 2: Right, and it's all like all old white guys mostly too. Dude,
Speaker 2: Please please fucking did you see that one with like
Speaker 2: what was the one about the women who were like
Speaker 2: all into Tom Brady with like Lily Tomlin and Jane
Speaker 2: Fonda and shit for Brady. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
Speaker 2: felt like but I mean, like, was that like Hollywood's best?
Speaker 2: Like was that then? Being like what if we did
Speaker 2: the Expendables but with women? Yeah, I think probably yeah,
Speaker 2: And we're gonna do this really fucking narrow read on
Speaker 2: like I don't know, it's like fucking heteronormative thing, like
Speaker 2: but they all fuck with Tom Brady. That's their fucking mutual.
Speaker 2: They're there, their unifying call. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Space Cowboys was pretty bad and also way too long.
Speaker 2: I remember that shit was over two hours.
Speaker 1: I didn't I never saw a Space Cowboys. I was
Speaker 1: never never into the idea of like being told a
Speaker 1: story about people who are like too old for this ship.
Speaker 1: I was. I was good at lethal weapon like that.
Speaker 1: That was plenty.
Speaker 2: I loved him man Big James Gardner fan, Big Jim
Speaker 2: Gardner fan, Big Tommy Lee Jones fan.
Speaker 1: I do love Tommy Lee Jones.
Speaker 2: I think have the same birthday as Tommy Lee Jones,
Speaker 2: which is why I think I watched it. That's the
Speaker 2: kind of one dimensional loyalty I have to people.
Speaker 1: You have the same birthday as Tommy Lee Jones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had Harry and.
Speaker 2: We're all exact same day, September fifteenth, nineteen forty six. Wow,
Speaker 2: and we look great doing it, That's right.
Speaker 1: And finally we have a new Clarence Thomas scandal, this
Speaker 1: one involving the Koch brothers and Ken Burns.
Speaker 2: Dude, that picture is so funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know it.
Speaker 2: Was Ken Burns at first. I was like, who the
Speaker 2: fuck is this? Like, wanna be Luke Skywalker? Bowl cut
Speaker 2: looking dude?
Speaker 1: His haircut is truly wild and like always dark and
Speaker 1: like he's a he's always dying it and it's always
Speaker 1: just it. If he doesn't have a wig. It is
Speaker 1: the most wig looking hair dude that I've ever seen
Speaker 1: on a human head.
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, yeah it is. It has wigswag for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I just love how it's suddenly. I remember
Speaker 2: one of the first articles I saw it didn't name
Speaker 2: him in the photo, and I was like, what the
Speaker 2: fuck is this guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And then I then I then I saw another one
Speaker 2: that was like it's Ken Burns, and I'm like, this
Speaker 2: is freaking so stupid.
Speaker 1: But he's like I don't know them in that picture
Speaker 1: that I didn't even know the picture. I was just
Speaker 1: walking by and my arms got stuck on their backs somehow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a you know, this is a pro
Speaker 1: PUBLICA report. Uh, and it detailed Thomas's particulars. Yeah, so exactly.
Speaker 1: They've got an axe to grind, That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But it details Clarence Thomas's close relationship with the Koch brothers,
Speaker 1: which included speaking at their donor events, none of which
Speaker 1: was disclosed. So that's an obvious violation of federal FLA.
Speaker 1: But the images for the article has Thomas David Coke
Speaker 1: and then in between them, you know, like you said, no,
Speaker 1: I feel like ken Burns is not a household face.
Speaker 1: He's a household name. Yeah, and maybe a household hair
Speaker 1: do if you've ever seen him, because you can't forget
Speaker 1: his hair. But yeah, so ken Burns started trending on
Speaker 1: social media and he was forced to issue a statement
Speaker 1: distancing himself as much as humanly possible from Thomas and Coke.
Speaker 1: And he claimed that he only met Thomas when taking
Speaker 1: that photo and only knew Coke because he was a
Speaker 1: supporter of public television.
Speaker 2: Which what an interesting fucking description.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just a guy just loves public TV.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, he does other stuff. What? Oh, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I've never heard of the other shop.
Speaker 2: I just know him as a great patron of the arts.
Speaker 1: I was too busy researching baseball and jazz, so did.
Speaker 2: His name all come up to be fair?
Speaker 1: So, but that support for public television does not extend
Speaker 1: to documentaries about the Koch brothers. They allegedly killed a
Speaker 1: deal between Public Television backers and the documentary Citizen Coke
Speaker 1: back in twenty thirteen. Yeah, the documentary showed at the
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Film Festival in April, and then immediately it was
Speaker 1: announced that Public Television Backers were pulling their funding because
Speaker 1: who knows why. It's impossible to say, but just a
Speaker 1: great example of the sort of MPR neoliberalism and the
Speaker 1: problems inherent in it that they expect capitalism to fix.
Speaker 1: The problems of capitalism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I like you did a little bit
Speaker 2: of cockney there, a bit the problems inherent in it,
Speaker 2: in it I've been watching toomuch, top boy. It's just
Speaker 2: again we have a fucking sitting Supreme Court justice who
Speaker 2: is the like fundraiser headliner for these fucking fucking goblin
Speaker 2: people and the Koch brothers. Yeah, and then they're the
Speaker 2: ones seeing fucking over like they're presiding over the cases
Speaker 2: that directly relate to these people. It's just I don't yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. But Trump can't win.
Speaker 1: But that's the important thing.
Speaker 2: Focused on that, guys. That's it. It's one issue and
Speaker 2: it's Trump can't win. Let's not we'll fucking we'll get
Speaker 2: to the other stuff once he's out of the way. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and we I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats invested
Speaker 2: in technology to keep Trump alive forever, just like you know,
Speaker 2: he's running in twenty twenty eight. You already know twenty
Speaker 2: thirty two, twenty thirty six.
Speaker 1: But we are at the you know, in the midst.
Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't say at the end, but we're in
Speaker 1: the midst of the longest run of very positive legislation
Speaker 1: and Supreme Court findings for the extremely wealthy. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know it because of like astroturfed bullshit, like you know,
Speaker 1: the Tea Party and you know Libertarians and you know
Speaker 1: people like that. But they have had the they've paid
Speaker 1: the least taxes that they've ever paid because of shit
Speaker 1: like this, just like very strategic relationships with the people
Speaker 1: who are ultimately making the decisions, and then you know,
Speaker 1: those decisions have ripple effects where they make it harder
Speaker 1: to regulate the billionaires, and then the billionaires use the
Speaker 1: lack of legislation and regulation to then influence more decisions
Speaker 1: until we have this out of control crazy system that
Speaker 1: we have right now.
Speaker 2: We need ethics reform, folks. We got to really sort
Speaker 2: out the Supreme Court. But I don't know, it's like
Speaker 2: the way Alido talks, He's like, yeah, come for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this idea that like you can have, like you're
Speaker 1: the strategy for the left side can be Well, if
Speaker 1: we just get this big donation from the Koch brothers,
Speaker 1: we can continue doing journalism that is broadly critical of
Speaker 1: the system that gives the Koch brothers immense power, and
Speaker 1: it just ends up just being liberal at a surface
Speaker 1: level without you know, and the ability to even can't
Speaker 1: even have the courage of your convictions to put out
Speaker 1: a documentary that is critical of like the Nazi oil billionacres.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, they're allowing us to do really great
Speaker 2: stuff about baseball, you know, so we got to you
Speaker 2: gotta take the good with the bad. You gotta take
Speaker 2: a good the bad.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, those are some of the things that
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend. We are back tomorrow with a
Speaker 1: whole last episode of the show to tell you what
Speaker 1: is trending Tomorrow it will be a bangor a bangor remain.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Bangors and Matt.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white Supreme se no,
Speaker 1: and we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Bye bye, h
