Speaker 1: it's Heather McDonald so so random, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 3: I think her comedy is great. So it was really cool.
Speaker 3: It was wild though, and because we were just I
Speaker 3: think we had just got a New York bagel together

Speaker 1: a picture?
Speaker 3: She loved?
Speaker 1: Yeah she did.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So my husband was actually thrown by it too. He
Speaker 1: was like, Yo, you met Heather McDonald's.
Speaker 3: I was like, yes, so hey, New York, New York dreams.
Speaker 1: Where was it? Concrete jungle, red green tomatoes? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is that?
Speaker 3: Is that? Just like a meme no.
Speaker 1: I always I've always said it was Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: always sang it that way in my head. It's always
Speaker 1: been read to me. Yes, it sounds under staying there's
Speaker 1: nothing you can't do. And now you're in New York,
Speaker 1: and I was like, why is she sing red green tomatoes?
Speaker 1: And then I realized it was where dreams are made
Speaker 1: of and I was like, oh snap, I was singing
Speaker 1: the wrong words.
Speaker 3: So I just loved that juxtaposition though, concrete jungle, red
Speaker 3: green tomatoes. Now you're in New York. Wow, I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I'll have to look out for those when I'm in town.
Speaker 3: Do you guys have these red green tomatoes?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 4: All right, well, doctor Higgins, we're going to get to
Speaker 4: know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 4: we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things
Speaker 4: that we're talking about. We're gonna talk about the Republicans
Speaker 4: attempt to stand with workers and how that's not going
Speaker 4: very well, including Trump's speech in Detroit, much hyped speech
Speaker 4: in Detroit where he was gonna ultimately like come out
Speaker 4: as this time I am a man of the world,
Speaker 4: and it don't quite go that way.
Speaker 3: It looked that. It looked that.
Speaker 4: Miles, you're gonna tell us about the GOP debate.
Speaker 3: I haven't read.
Speaker 4: Anything about what happened to the GEOP.
Speaker 3: You don't, you don't need to, you already know without knowing.
Speaker 3: I'm just here to just shine a light on some
Speaker 3: of the more chaotic aspects of it, because nothing really happened,
Speaker 3: like no one. It's like I would be I would
Speaker 3: be surprised if after Republican debate we're like, you know what,
Speaker 3: I think so and so actually has a chance here
Speaker 3: at you know, cracking the code to defeat Trump, because
Speaker 3: it's not just a bunch of foolishness, but it's all
Speaker 3: on tape, mm hmm.
Speaker 4: And we'll talk about Dare Dar's making a comeback somehow,
Speaker 4: all of that plenty more. But first, doctor Higgins, we
Speaker 4: do like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 4: your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1: Well, first, I want to say, crack is whack, Crack
Speaker 1: is cheap, Dare tip I wanted to say that it
Speaker 1: just I literally rolls.
Speaker 4: But my spirit, the our writer JM Like was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: back in the day days of the Dare program, when
Speaker 4: Pee Wee herman urging kids not to try crack was
Speaker 4: considered totally normal, and I had to look that clip
Speaker 4: up and many.
Speaker 1: A time even that, what do you remember that meth
Speaker 1: commercial where she was like.
Speaker 3: Staying up all night cleaning in your house, math.
Speaker 1: Math, and it was like, literally, there is a literal commercial.
Speaker 1: I have to I'll send you the link, but there
Speaker 1: is a commercial of a woman singing about being addicted
Speaker 1: to meth. And it came out in the nineties. And
Speaker 1: then I always remember that this is your brain on
Speaker 1: drugs with like I remember that one crack but no,
Speaker 1: that meth song literally every time, specifically when I'm in
Speaker 1: downtown LA, which I call Gofham City, I'll see it
Speaker 1: and just it starts playing in my head like meth, meth.
Speaker 3: Meth, Yeah, wait, what is it this one? Yeah?
Speaker 1: There is an actual commercial.
Speaker 3: Yo, this is ridiculous. I know you didn't hear it.
Speaker 3: I can hear the first bar of it. Old, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: there we go.
Speaker 5: Get me busy as a bee.
Speaker 6: Where I get all this senergy?
Speaker 7: Oh wow, I don't need but I've got the cleanest
Speaker 7: house on the streets.
Speaker 4: The visuals are not this.
Speaker 8: This was an anti This was an antith say, well,
Speaker 8: they got they've got the music matching. Like the music
Speaker 8: makes me think that this is like that from the
Speaker 8: people who brought you Flintstones vitamins. Yeah, because meth commercial.
Speaker 8: But then the visuals look like they're from like an
Speaker 8: early anofski. Yeah, like sound Garden, you know, like one
Speaker 8: of those things about like the runaway train video, you
Speaker 8: know about like kids who get kidnapped or run away
Speaker 8: from home.
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it's very it's very strange. The Pee Wee
Speaker 4: clip I just watched for the first time since I
Speaker 4: was a child, and they make crack sound really appealing
Speaker 4: in the ed like that because he's very serious, but
Speaker 4: he is also like it's so potent. Oh my god,
Speaker 4: is crack rock cocaine.
Speaker 1: It isn't glamorous or cool what kids stuff. It's the
Speaker 1: most addictive kind of cocaine and it can kill you.
Speaker 3: It's really bad.
Speaker 1: Is nobody knows how much it takes, so every time
Speaker 1: you use it risk dying.
Speaker 3: It's such a not a pee Wee vibe that I
Speaker 3: don't know. He's the worst messenger for that message. That's
Speaker 3: a strange one.
Speaker 4: But then the end, it's like the thrill is not
Speaker 4: worth the chill or something like that, and like he yeah,
Speaker 4: he goes on to be like and it's the most
Speaker 4: powerful form of cocaine.
Speaker 3: It's like the craziest box. I'm so sorry. Oh man,
Speaker 3: it feels that, oh man feels like it's like something
Speaker 3: Dolly Parton wrote. Yeah, like it has a very Dolly vibe,
Speaker 3: which she's like, here, here's a little ditty I got
Speaker 3: to keep kids off the.
Speaker 1: Met Yeah, and then they wrote a song about it.
Speaker 1: But anyway, all that to be said. Up, Sorry, I
Speaker 1: opened that. I literally opened up. That is my crack,
Speaker 1: which is Apple. So I got an iPhone fifteen pro
Speaker 1: on Friday, well technically I got it Monday, but I
Speaker 1: ordered it on Friday.
Speaker 9: Wow.
Speaker 1: I I think I made the wrong decision in the color.
Speaker 1: I got the natural one, which I thought was going
Speaker 1: to end up being gold, and it's not. It's like
Speaker 1: it's like a gray color and it's ugly, Like I
Speaker 1: just I personally think it's ugly. And so I've been
Speaker 1: kind of browsing around trying to see if they have
Speaker 1: any in store, and then they do. They have a
Speaker 1: black one, which is like way out in South Coast,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, do I draw, Am I really that
Speaker 1: awful that I'm gonna drive down to Irvine to get
Speaker 1: a new phone because I hate the color of the
Speaker 1: one that I have Capitalism?
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but anyone who.
Speaker 1: Knows me knows that I probably will so because I'm
Speaker 1: an addict. Apple owns me and it really sucks that I.
Speaker 3: Do you have a Early? Do you have an Apple
Speaker 3: Watch Ultra? Are you that I have the two?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Wow. They just came through the Wow. It's everything.
Speaker 3: You know. It's funny because we were just talking about
Speaker 3: the new iPhone and how I thought I haven't upgraded
Speaker 3: since twenty nineteen, and I'm like, I'm ready because the
Speaker 3: only thing I was like, I want USBC. I'm off
Speaker 3: this lightning every phone. I was like, whenever they do USBC,
Speaker 3: I'm back. And then I had a Pro Max. I
Speaker 3: have a Pro Max now, and I saw that video
Speaker 3: of this year's Pro Max and the dude just bented
Speaker 3: in half with his hands, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: fuck out of here. Really, wait, isn't.
Speaker 4: The whole thing is supposed to be It's titanium.
Speaker 1: It is titanium, but it's very much on the lighter side.
Speaker 1: It's very light like light to the point where I
Speaker 1: almost thought was like, is this a pro when the
Speaker 1: late when the person I shouldn't say, lady, and when
Speaker 1: the person handed me the phone, they initially handed it
Speaker 1: to me and I was like, this feels and looks
Speaker 1: like the Pro and they were like, no, it's the
Speaker 1: Pro Max and I was like wow, So like it
Speaker 1: just it's it's it's a lot sleeker and it's a
Speaker 1: lot I don't know, it just feels better in your hand.
Speaker 1: But like I said, I just don't like the color
Speaker 1: of it. And I'm like do I I'm like, do
Speaker 1: I just you know, shrug my shoulders and say, you know,
Speaker 1: forget about it, or do I, you know, gas up
Speaker 1: my car for one hundred dollars because gas is literally
Speaker 1: seven dollars a gallon in So So Cow and drive
Speaker 1: down even though I have a hybrid, But still like,
Speaker 1: do I Am I going to be that person that
Speaker 1: drives across town literally to getting the color?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Because it's do you do you not have a cover
Speaker 4: on your iPhone?
Speaker 1: I so this this is the thing I wish that
Speaker 1: I and I have to say this. I am a
Speaker 1: person who will spend ridiculous amount of money at Apple.
Speaker 1: But that is one of the things that I just
Speaker 1: I cannot bring myself to be like, oh, let me
Speaker 1: just rock my phone naked and rub the risk of
Speaker 1: it slipping out of my hand. And you know, and
Speaker 1: I'll tell this story here because it's the perfect story
Speaker 1: to tell it. This is a true story. So one
Speaker 1: day back in like I think it was like twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, do you remember when they used to test
Speaker 1: your phone for water damage before you could get it
Speaker 1: like replaced, And it was like one of the yeah,
Speaker 1: they would they would literally like blow this light thing
Speaker 1: into it to like see if there's red in your
Speaker 1: phone because it got wet. Well, I remember coming in
Speaker 1: from work one day and I was literally so the
Speaker 1: way my apartment was was when you walked through the
Speaker 1: front door, you would immediately have to make like a
Speaker 1: left to go into my bedroom, and the bedroom you
Speaker 1: would have to pass the bathroom in order to get
Speaker 1: into my bedroom. And so sure enough, I walked into
Speaker 1: my apartment, I was setting my work back down, I
Speaker 1: was on the phone, and literally as I was walking
Speaker 1: into my room to take off my work shoes, my
Speaker 1: phone slipped out of my hand. And guess where it
Speaker 1: flew into the toilet, and so ever since then, I've
Speaker 1: been like and that was at the time where I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't need a case. I'm not a
Speaker 1: case girl. And now to this day, I'm like, yeah
Speaker 1: that if that can happen, anything can happen. And so
Speaker 1: I've always put a case on my phone. I hate cases,
Speaker 1: but too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as much as I always love, Like, when I
Speaker 3: get the new one, I'm like, yo, I want to
Speaker 3: rocket like this, and then it just takes me putting
Speaker 3: it on the table wrong, and then I just have
Speaker 3: like I'm like, you're gonna fucking break everything.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but I feel like when I take the case off,
Speaker 10: if I've had a case for a while, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 10: that's that's what color the phone is, right, So when
Speaker 10: I when I have a case on my phone, I
Speaker 10: have no idea what color it is or.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So I told my I bought a black
Speaker 1: case for it, so I have a I have a
Speaker 1: like I have that woven case on it, the woven one.
Speaker 1: And I told myself, I I'm gonna get the black
Speaker 1: woven case and see if it makes me like the
Speaker 1: phone a little bit better and if I can deal
Speaker 1: with it, you know, being black and silver in the
Speaker 1: woven case. If I like it, then I'll keep it.
Speaker 1: But if I don't, then I'll go to the place
Speaker 1: tomorrow and I'll get.
Speaker 3: A new one.
Speaker 4: So now I have a dumb thing that I'm realizing
Speaker 4: what was happening in my brain. Every time I've gotten
Speaker 4: an iPhone, I've had that same thing you were describing,
Speaker 4: doctor Higgins, where I'm like, oh, it's much later now,
Speaker 4: and I think I was assuming that it was picking
Speaker 4: up weight, like from dust, just just aging, getting heavier
Speaker 4: with age, And that's probably not the case, like a pillow,
Speaker 4: you know, just dust bites, just dead bugs inside my phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably not scientifically accurate.
Speaker 4: But I just realized when you described that that that's
Speaker 4: what was happening in my right. Yeah, I'm a stupid person.
Speaker 1: It's fine.
Speaker 4: What is uh, doctor Higgins? What is something that you
Speaker 4: think is overrated?
Speaker 1: Overrated? I actually made a note about this. So my
Speaker 1: overrated is being an adult. I think being an adult,
Speaker 1: like the the older I get it. Just it seems
Speaker 1: like I remember being a kid, maybe because I was poor,
Speaker 1: so like I remember being a kid and being like
Speaker 1: when I get older, I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: eat what I want, and I'm gonna do what I
Speaker 1: want whenever I want to do it.
Speaker 3: And then it's like I look at my calendar.
Speaker 1: My calendar is so full, and I'm just by the
Speaker 1: time like I actually get to sit down on my couch,
Speaker 1: it's time to do this shit all over again, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn it, like can I rest so Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, just being an adult, maybe because of
Speaker 1: the time that we live in, like everything feels so heavy,
Speaker 1: Like you know, I was talking to someone about this
Speaker 1: at the airport this weekend, Like it just every time
Speaker 1: we look up, there's something else that's happening. There's something
Speaker 1: terrible that's coming our way. And like just seeing gas
Speaker 1: prices like my husband told me, like lunch meat was
Speaker 1: nine dollars now, Like everything just feels so heavy, and
Speaker 1: I just like being an adult. It's like my nephew
Speaker 1: was five and I look at him and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, baby, like just stay young, like don't stay young,
Speaker 1: like finding enjoy being young, because man, like when by
Speaker 1: the time you get to my age, it's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be three times as worse. Like my mom used to
Speaker 1: tell me that, and I didn't. I never processed what
Speaker 1: she was trying to tell me. But now as an adult,
Speaker 1: I'm looking around and I'm going, yeah, it really is
Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of rough out here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw it. I saw like, you know,
Speaker 3: egg price has been going up and down. I went
Speaker 3: to the eight point fifty for twelve eggs. I was like,
Speaker 3: I was acting like Eggs was a brand of food
Speaker 3: I didn't need to fuck with anymore. I was like, well,
Speaker 3: I'm finished with eggs. Then. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We even shop at ear what was that place called
Speaker 1: Earworm or whatever, ear War, Carajuan. Yeah, I look every
Speaker 1: time I see it, it looks like Earworm to me. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not even like I shopped at like Arawana or
Speaker 1: anything like. I mean, we go we go to Ralphs,
Speaker 1: we go to like Stater Brothers, and it's like, man,
Speaker 1: you literally like two hundred and fifty dollars for like
Speaker 1: what two weeks worked of groceries and we don't even
Speaker 1: eat junk like that. Like I guess I'm that girl
Speaker 1: that's gonna eat a donut. I'm gonna eat a lot
Speaker 1: of like I eat what I want to eat. But man,
Speaker 1: it's like just to get like produce, and so like
Speaker 1: even thinking about it, like I saw someone there's been
Speaker 1: this TikTok floating around about a woman who I guess
Speaker 1: talked about having children, and I you know, when I
Speaker 1: talk to my mom and I talk to like some
Speaker 1: of my peers who don't have kids, that's usually the
Speaker 1: number one thing that drives the conversation of like why
Speaker 1: I have so much empathy for people who have kids? Now,
Speaker 1: it's just the price of everything is expensive, Like everything
Speaker 1: is high.
Speaker 3: It's like daycaars, like yeah, the fucking Mercedes payment, Like
Speaker 3: was it a fifty a week? It's some daycare some
Speaker 3: like yeah, like I'm looking for the cheaper ones and
Speaker 3: shit it's like two k a month. Yeah that's yeah,
Speaker 3: this is what you pay for rent. So I know
Speaker 3: and like yeah yeah, and like that's what's interesting too,
Speaker 3: because like I know people who have made the business
Speaker 3: decision to say it's actually like I might as well
Speaker 3: not work because I'm just gonna be working to pay
Speaker 3: this thing off and i might as well just be
Speaker 3: with the kid. Yeah yeah, but yeah, it's it is heavy.
Speaker 3: His head is very heavy. That's why, Hey, Trader Joe's.
Speaker 3: I like how my receipt looks when I go there
Speaker 3: because I'm like, we have bag salads, and.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, we have to travel to our
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's is not in a very it's not convenient
Speaker 1: at all to where we live.
Speaker 4: So wait, Trader Joe's is cheaper than like Kroger routes
Speaker 4: most of the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, like if you if you yeah, baby,
Speaker 3: like you know, like like I buy salad right and
Speaker 3: do salad stuff. You can buy those pre bagged salads
Speaker 3: or whatever. You get like six of those some like
Speaker 3: meet you on a grill and stuff like that, and
Speaker 3: you can walk out of there for under what that
Speaker 3: would cost if I want into like a Kroger. Sometimes
Speaker 3: it all depends on like you know what you're looking for?
Speaker 4: Huh, all right, what is something doctor Higgins? Do you
Speaker 4: think is underrated?
Speaker 1: Underrated? Asking people for help? And I know that, like
Speaker 1: I know that some I listened to the show daily
Speaker 1: and I know people have such good responses, But that
Speaker 1: was the only thing that came to mind for me
Speaker 1: in terms of underrated, And so that's why I'm on
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 11: Come to my live show on October eleventh Hell, the
Speaker 11: Saints come, come listen to us babbel about absolutely nothing
Speaker 11: but no seriously asking for help.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm the older I'm getting, you know.
Speaker 1: I think that there's this you know, and again this
Speaker 1: could be the social justice in me. But I think,
Speaker 1: as you know, a marginalized person, we're always expected to
Speaker 1: have the answers to everything. We're always supposed to be
Speaker 1: the person. Like the world teaches you to be the
Speaker 1: smartest person in the room all the time, and I've
Speaker 1: just gotten to the point now where it's like, yes,
Speaker 1: I have a doctorate, but I'm still not the smartest
Speaker 1: person in the room. Like wouldn't anything say like support me, bitch?
Speaker 1: Like that is literally how I feel all the time now,
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, if I need help, I'm an ask
Speaker 1: I'm not that girl that's like I've got it together,
Speaker 1: Like I'm good, Like my life is great. No, my
Speaker 1: life is literally three second it's a string from falling apart.
Speaker 1: So like, please help me, Like if you can help
Speaker 1: me in any way, whether it be like you know,
Speaker 1: giving me you know, a network or an email or
Speaker 1: a connect to something like that. I'm never below saying
Speaker 1: help me, right because this life is hard, like just
Speaker 1: it's it's really really hard.
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, and I think there's also, yeah, there's
Speaker 3: people don't want to want to struggle in public. That's
Speaker 3: a huge reason why people don't ask for help or
Speaker 3: fact like they aren't like they got their shit all
Speaker 3: figured out. But it is like the most liberating and
Speaker 3: sort of like life affirming thing when you ask for
Speaker 3: like you'll be surprised you ask for help, the help
Speaker 3: that you will receive from people that are like in
Speaker 3: your circle. And I think that's also one of the
Speaker 3: underrated aspects of asking for it is like you will
Speaker 3: also realize like damn, may go people on my corner. Y.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's this is probably the most underrated thing of
Speaker 4: my adult life. This is this is a great underrated
Speaker 4: It's something I've had to do for like addiction issues
Speaker 4: I've had to do in like it's made my marriage
Speaker 4: better and just in terms of it being good advice.
Speaker 4: We did this thing like there's this hack one hack
Speaker 4: that Ben Franklin wants you to know. But there's this
Speaker 4: thing that Ben Franklin talks about that he realizes it's
Speaker 4: this like counterintuitive thing that if you ask someone for
Speaker 4: a favor they and they do the favor for you,
Speaker 4: they will like you more. And it's a weird because
Speaker 4: you're showing vulnerability and there's like something like subconsciously of
Speaker 4: them like doing something for you, Like their brain is like, well,
Speaker 4: they must be cool then because I just did this
Speaker 4: thing for them. So it's like it's all around. Like
Speaker 4: just being willing to be vulnerable enough to ask for
Speaker 4: help opens this world of possibilities and increase, you know,
Speaker 4: just everything. It makes your life better and richer in
Speaker 4: so many ways, you know, decreases the loneliness, which is
Speaker 4: such a huge problem, like right now. Yeah, and all
Speaker 4: that being said, I can speak about it for a
Speaker 4: long time and like I still don't do it enough,
Speaker 4: you know, because it's hard.
Speaker 1: It is hard, And I think I was gonna say
Speaker 1: real quick, I think a really important thing is, you know,
Speaker 1: masculinity is as a as a like a thing, right,
Speaker 1: whether you talk about toxic masculine or masculine as a whole,
Speaker 1: like we're all three men, and I think so being
Speaker 1: even even for me being non binary, there's still this
Speaker 1: presentation of I'm male presenting to people in some way,
Speaker 1: and so I'm supposed to never be emotional enough to
Speaker 1: say I'm struggling. And I actually had to like acknowledge
Speaker 1: that a couple of like days ago, like two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: I was literally sitting in my office going like, here
Speaker 1: comes the ideations, here comes to like no one loves you,
Speaker 1: no one cares like you're You're feeling very alone. So
Speaker 1: I had to get my therapist back up and I
Speaker 1: had to say like, hey, I'm going I'm literally slipping
Speaker 1: into this mindset again of being lonely and feeling like
Speaker 1: the world doesn't need me here, like I need help.
Speaker 1: And she was like, you know, let me get you back,
Speaker 1: and you know, let me get you back on the roster.
Speaker 1: And so I think that that's something that like I
Speaker 1: try to emulate and everything that I do. That like
Speaker 1: just because you see you know the shows, you see
Speaker 1: me on the network, and you see me on TV,
Speaker 1: and you see me with you know, celebrities. I mean
Speaker 1: I went to dinner with the celeb friend of mine
Speaker 1: just this weekend. People are like, oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 1: I'm like yeah, but we were sitting at the table
Speaker 1: literally almost crying with each other because we're all struggling,
Speaker 1: like we're all going through it. So yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: you know, asks for help literally, like people are not
Speaker 1: going to judge you for asking for help.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and that it's okay to be struggling. I
Speaker 3: think that's the other hard part is like whenever I
Speaker 3: start getting like you know, I start having start ruminating
Speaker 3: on shit or whatever.
Speaker 12: It's like, mane, you get your shit together whatever. It's like, no, yeah,
Speaker 12: that's not That's not how you get out of it.
Speaker 12: You get out of it by being like Okay, okay,
Speaker 12: that's where we're at right now. Let's try and find
Speaker 12: a way to sort of pivot to something that feels
Speaker 12: a little bit better and then incrementally get out of there.
Speaker 12: But the whole like brute force of like I don't
Speaker 12: need to feel like this, damn it.
Speaker 3: Like it's guess what, it only makes shit worse.
Speaker 4: What if you just said no to sadness though, if
Speaker 4: you just said no, like to drugs, Yeah, like I
Speaker 4: don't know that that seems well just like yeah, it's
Speaker 4: just going to make me do more more sadness.
Speaker 3: That's right, more sadness.
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back,
Speaker 4: and speaking of sadness, we'll talk about the Republican Party
Speaker 4: and how things are going for them.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.
Speaker 4: And we're back, and you know, the Republicans are struggling there.
Speaker 4: They don't have an identity outside of you know, they
Speaker 4: just have collapsed into a personality cult with a person
Speaker 4: at their head who is struggling. Yeah, he's not doing great.
Speaker 4: He's the most indicted human being on planet Earth right now.
Speaker 3: I believe more indictments than l Chopo, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: So we were sitting back, we were like, man, you know,
Speaker 4: what makes sense for them?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 4: They? If they did the thing that no mainstream politician
Speaker 4: in the US has been willing to do at this
Speaker 4: moment of increased support, increased popularity for labor for unions.
Speaker 4: What if the Republicans were just like, actually, we're kind
Speaker 4: of the labor party, Like we're you know, we can
Speaker 4: just rest on the laurels of decades and decades of
Speaker 4: being pro corporations and we can just pay lip service
Speaker 4: and like start running as the where with the Workers Party.
Speaker 4: This is something Tucker Carlson said many years back, like
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna somebody's gonna jump in here and do this.
Speaker 4: Let why not have it be Republicans and so there
Speaker 4: they're trying that hat on and it looks stupid, looks
Speaker 4: bad on them.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I mean yeah, the thing is like Joe
Speaker 3: Biden beat Trump to the picket line, and we discussed
Speaker 3: this on the past episode. He was like saying like, hey,
Speaker 3: I believe that y'all deserve a significant pay rise, and
Speaker 3: that was a first along with him being on the
Speaker 3: picket line. They're still concerned though, from the UAW over
Speaker 3: the government giving subsidies to Ford to make electric vehicles
Speaker 3: without mandating that they use union labor. So that's still
Speaker 3: a bit of a sticking point. But we'll see if
Speaker 3: Biden does something to improve that situation. But yeah, but
Speaker 3: they're saying, like, you know, Trump's also got something going on.
Speaker 3: When I think we'll get to well, we'll get to
Speaker 3: his his little his moment where he gave a really
Speaker 3: fun speech to a quote unquote.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, should we just start off with that, Yeah,
Speaker 4: might as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that question does not have to go to the
Speaker 1: debates or is he just choosing not to go.
Speaker 3: He's choosing not to Yeah, he's just saying I'm not no,
Speaker 3: I'm not going. Whatever, y'all do your thing. Yeah. People
Speaker 3: on the right are like, why is he ducking the debates?
Speaker 4: And I think the answer is like, he has nothing
Speaker 4: to gain from going because he's so far.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there is the potential for them to start
Speaker 3: wind milling on him by talking about like his criminal
Speaker 3: like record and stuff like I would just be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you never, you never. I'm gonna just I'm gonna take
Speaker 3: a step back then, y'all just do that and.
Speaker 4: I can just scream from Okay, So Dominique from the
Speaker 4: dotted line wind.
Speaker 3: Just wind milling on.
Speaker 9: Good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the duking in him yea. So we saw that
Speaker 4: he was going to speak in Detroit the night of
Speaker 4: the debate, and we were like, uh oh, maybe maybe
Speaker 4: this is it, Maybe he's going to really do it.
Speaker 4: So first things first, he spoke at a non union plant,
Speaker 4: so that that was a strange, Like he's speaking in
Speaker 4: Detroit during a auto worker's strike union strike and he
Speaker 4: is speaking at a specifically non union plant. The event,
Speaker 4: he a lot of vague platitudes really coming out like that.
Speaker 4: There are sentences where he says he's like pro worker
Speaker 4: and pro union, but they are surrounded by him like
Speaker 4: attacking union leadership. Yeah, and just basically saying all of
Speaker 4: the things that industry people would would have you believe,
Speaker 4: like the industry is going out of business, like you
Speaker 4: guys are, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: You can wing your strike.
Speaker 4: In two years from now, the whole place is going
Speaker 4: to be out of business to all your company needs
Speaker 4: are going to be out of business. The stuff that
Speaker 4: was basically like taken from the mouths of like the
Speaker 4: companies that these people are striking against.
Speaker 3: He's he's doing the same material that a consult like
Speaker 3: a union busting consultant does when a company is like, oh, ship,
Speaker 3: my worker's unionizing, because there's the same things like these
Speaker 3: these fat cats that are running your union. They don't
Speaker 3: have your your, your, your, your your, your, you know,
Speaker 3: your future in mind.
Speaker 4: They're thinking about them, they're thinking, they're working out their
Speaker 4: own deals.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. And it's like and they're just getting in
Speaker 3: the way, and I feel so bad for you. I
Speaker 3: feel so bad for you that your leaders are just
Speaker 3: kind of completely just fucking you over like this, and
Speaker 3: that's gaslight. Yeah. Yeah, he's just lying to a room
Speaker 3: full of people who were I guess presented as workers.
Speaker 3: So like the details always got murkery it's like, oh shit,
Speaker 3: Trump's going to Detroit to speak to auto workers and
Speaker 3: then Asterisk. Trump is going to a non union plant
Speaker 3: to speak to Asterisk, mostly retired workers Asterisk that were
Speaker 3: invited only by the management of the non union plant.
Speaker 3: And then then we get to the event and they
Speaker 3: were my, my, oh my, the costumes that people were wearing.
Speaker 4: A journalist from the Detroit News made the trip down
Speaker 4: started looking around as the people who were at the speech,
Speaker 4: and you know, there's one woman holding a Union Members
Speaker 4: for Trump placard and went up and was like, oh,
Speaker 4: so you're a union member, Like how what what made
Speaker 4: you support Trump? She was like, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 4: a union I'm not even remember there was another one
Speaker 4: who's holding a sign that said auto Workers for Trump,
Speaker 4: much much wider target to hit a lot of I mean,
Speaker 4: you're in Detroit, Like you just ask most people in
Speaker 4: Detroit are you an auto worker of one sort or another?
Speaker 4: And they'll probably be like, yeah, you know, or I
Speaker 4: have been so ask auto workers for Trump placard holder.
Speaker 3: Are you an autoworker?
Speaker 4: No, I'm actually not an autoworker.
Speaker 1: Fact, I'm just here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, people are asking, like, you know, that they're remembering
Speaker 4: his campaign his twenty fifteen campaign announcement where people looked
Speaker 4: around him were like, there's like all these signs are
Speaker 4: written in the same handwriting.
Speaker 3: What is going on?
Speaker 4: And they found out like they had put out a
Speaker 4: call to New York based Extra Mile Casting to to
Speaker 4: cast some background actors to appear at his campaign announcement.
Speaker 3: So I can't.
Speaker 1: Every time, sorry, when y'all talk about this man, I
Speaker 1: always think about Scooby.
Speaker 3: Doo, Like different man is literally that person, you.
Speaker 1: Know, like at the end when they unmasked them and
Speaker 1: it's like this is this not who? Like literally like
Speaker 1: these oh god, so many stupid antics.
Speaker 3: It is wild. I mean he's lucky though that like
Speaker 3: union membership isn't like ethnic or whatever, because like when
Speaker 3: he has blacks for Trump, like he's got to fuse
Speaker 3: this same five dudes every round, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: because like you can't, just as much as he'd like to,
Speaker 3: I'm sure'd be like what about that lady there, she
Speaker 3: could wear blacks for Trump T shirt that like president,
Speaker 3: mister president, that is, she is not black. The idea
Speaker 3: she supports the idea, that's what's important. And then like yeah,
Speaker 3: you're lucky that they can just wave unions for Trump
Speaker 3: and yeah, then you just do a little asking like
Speaker 3: I'm here because they're giving out out back steakhouse coupons.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, of course, the last actor Spiked appearance,
Speaker 4: you know, was when he was announcing his campaign, which
Speaker 4: ultimately successfully got him elected president.
Speaker 3: So who knows.
Speaker 4: It's just it's kind of weird that he's needing to
Speaker 4: bring in people who are lying about who they are
Speaker 4: at the height.
Speaker 3: Of you know, yeah, he's been around for a while,
Speaker 3: but it's all like his whole thing is right. It
Speaker 3: doesn't it doesn't have to pass the multiple levels of
Speaker 3: scrutiny from someone who is, you know, a bit cynical
Speaker 3: about what he stands for, because all he needs is
Speaker 3: a fucking image of signs being held that' say auto
Speaker 3: workers for Trump, Unions for Trump, and that's it. That's
Speaker 3: what gets pushed out. There will be no further inspection
Speaker 3: about like who these people are whatever. It's just there.
Speaker 3: It is. There's your moment. He's in Detroit two and
Speaker 3: he's got the backing of the unions and next grift please.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not just Trump, like the whole Republican
Speaker 4: Party seems to be trying this on, at least in
Speaker 4: a way that just seems unnatural given their policies.
Speaker 3: All of their policies. They're on single one of their
Speaker 3: policies on Wax not giving a fuck about working people
Speaker 3: since the first album. And so yeah, remember the so
Speaker 3: there was the pro act right that that came out
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the Biden administration, the Protecting the
Speaker 3: Right to Organize Act, And this is a bill that
Speaker 3: would have negated state level right to work laws. And
Speaker 3: these right to work laws are specifically designed to dilute
Speaker 3: union power to like be like man collective bargaining. An't
Speaker 3: going to work because we've got these right to work
Speaker 3: laws and they're all done under the guise of like
Speaker 3: protecting the worker from being forced to join a union
Speaker 3: that's already not something you can do under federal law.
Speaker 3: So you know, miss us with all of that shit.
Speaker 3: But those laws are also the reason why auto jobs
Speaker 3: specifically too are migrating south of Michigan because they don't
Speaker 3: have any unionized plants there and that's why. So again
Speaker 3: this is where the Republican Party is at. So anyway,
Speaker 3: very pro worker, but that won't stop them from cosplaying
Speaker 3: as pro worker. So jd Vance has a you know,
Speaker 3: predictably said that you know, it's the union bosses that
Speaker 3: are the problem, just like Trump said, and Biden liking
Speaker 3: electric vehicles is also the issue here. Trump also said
Speaker 3: that at that rally that he was like, really worried
Speaker 3: that a boat that was powered by an electric motor
Speaker 3: would electrocute everybody if something were you have a battery
Speaker 3: and water. I don't want to be there at all.
Speaker 3: It's like, sure, man, that science, science isn't for all
Speaker 3: of us.
Speaker 4: That's not a sailboat plus magnets and how do they work?
Speaker 3: I don't get Wow, he just watched that fat, insane
Speaker 3: pose video. He's like, this is my whole policy for science.
Speaker 3: But so then he also had ship to say about
Speaker 3: the U A w you know, had Sean Fain, who
Speaker 3: was famously not mincing words when talking about people, especially
Speaker 3: Trump or even Biden. He's like, man, I don't He's like,
Speaker 3: I don't need Biden to send these people here. We're
Speaker 3: working this deal out. Or with Trump, he's like, man,
Speaker 3: what the fuck is he doings? This is bullshit, which
Speaker 3: made Vance very upset his His message to Sean Faine
Speaker 3: was quote, at the very least, just shut your mouth
Speaker 3: and take the support from wherever you can get it. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's actually coming from the workers anyway, the solidarity isn't
Speaker 3: there thing. But and again the support certainly isn't coming
Speaker 3: from the GOP. And let's also move on. I also
Speaker 3: do want to talk about white power. Macho man Senator
Speaker 3: Josh Holly. He literally has a zero percent score from
Speaker 3: the UNI, from the Auto Workers Union, okay, and his
Speaker 3: ass decided to trot out to a picket line and
Speaker 3: say some really vague shit like he really like the
Speaker 3: first thing fucking journalists there weren't gonna say it is like, bro,
Speaker 3: you have like a zero percent? The fuck are you
Speaker 3: doing here? This is Josh Holly, and you're you're not
Speaker 3: gonna be able to it. The volume's kind of low.
Speaker 3: But like the first thing that this journalist is bringing
Speaker 3: up is like, you have a zero percent rating from
Speaker 3: this union. And then he's gonna say, oh, I'm pro worker,
Speaker 3: just so you could in case you miss it, you
Speaker 3: know what he's saying here we go, yeahs as of
Speaker 3: August of last year. Yeah, oh you're probably a score.
Speaker 3: I'm pro worker, so freaking what the what the various organizations,
Speaker 3: how they rape me, doesn't matter. May stand with these
Speaker 3: Missurians if you're from Illinois, but will be for them
Speaker 3: to I want to stand with them if they're bold
Speaker 3: struggle to actually give a bad service. And that's said,
Speaker 3: we need to make things in this country, we need
Speaker 3: to keep all right. So I said I want to
Speaker 3: stand with them, they're bold struggle. Immediately pivots to some
Speaker 3: I'm like, we got to keep jobs in America thing.
Speaker 3: Because he had he couldn't really speak on what their
Speaker 3: fucking bold struggle was. But I love that he goes, look,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what their rating is of me, Well,
Speaker 3: it would indicates that you're actually hostile towards the aims
Speaker 3: of the organization.
Speaker 4: That's actually what organizations. Yea, it said that you are
Speaker 4: an enemy to their aims. Gave you explicitly a zero.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it said. And that's hard to do, right,
Speaker 3: So any care to come I don't really care what
Speaker 3: them Yeah, that's just so wild to pivot off that.
Speaker 3: And you're like, no, this score, I actually you know,
Speaker 3: proves the option. Yeah whatever, go off man. So he's
Speaker 3: here for their bold struggle. But again, that was as
Speaker 3: believable as his tough guy act on January sixth, where
Speaker 3: he like threw up the fucking fist going into the
Speaker 3: Capitol and then was sprinting out of there. Yeah, they're
Speaker 3: hurt me. But then being like those are good men
Speaker 3: and women. It's like, okay, all right, jos, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: take her easy, take her easy. She's my lady. And
Speaker 3: that that's what I son of them. No, that's me. Hey,
Speaker 3: that's one. No, that's one of the last things I said.
Speaker 3: Sorry to keep touching on that SNL bit. Sorry is
Speaker 3: the Rosetta Stone.
Speaker 4: You have to watch it if you are going to
Speaker 4: understand anything we do on this show.
Speaker 3: But yeah, while that was happening and Trump was talking
Speaker 3: about the horrors of electric motor boat electrocution, there was
Speaker 3: a GOP debate going on, Yeah, and Trump was just
Speaker 3: saying the way he was he's shady. He's like, he's like, oh,
Speaker 3: you mean, like the job candidates talk that they're doing,
Speaker 3: they're all trying to get the job. That was like
Speaker 3: his take on it while he was talking to the
Speaker 3: auto quote unquote autoworkers. But yeah, it was basically, I
Speaker 3: mean the debates have only made one thing clear, and
Speaker 3: that is Donald Trump is going to be the fucking
Speaker 3: nominee and no one is going to break through.
Speaker 4: Sorry, Court, this is like a nomination for if the
Speaker 4: Supreme Court comes through and does the right thing on
Speaker 4: the off chance, Like this is who we're left with.
Speaker 3: So, like it started, the whole thing started off fucking yanky. Okay,
Speaker 3: the host couldn't get even get their shit together. It
Speaker 3: started off with Stuart Varney getting completely travolted by the
Speaker 3: teleprompter when he had to read a non Anglo name,
Speaker 3: uh specifically Ilia Calderon from Univision. So I just this
Speaker 3: is this was the fucking you know what I mean?
Speaker 9: Mm hmmm this news channel Janel Parino and Ilia Colder.
Speaker 3: Univision. What let me hear that again? This isn't the
Speaker 3: Fox News commentator.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we we do need to tell people because
Speaker 4: nobody knows who any of the candidates are because nobody's
Speaker 4: paying attention. But Stuart Varney is one of the moderators
Speaker 4: from Yes, these are the moderators, Dana Perno, Stuart Varney
Speaker 4: and like I said, from Univision, and this this is
Speaker 4: how he kicks it off.
Speaker 3: Nailed Dana Perino's name. I wonder why, but then just
Speaker 3: saying Ilia's name, here we go just one more time
Speaker 3: for you. This news channel, Dana Perino and I Univision is.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: I mean he did okay, but then he like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I feel like he put too much.
Speaker 3: He put too much called that universion. He used so
Speaker 3: much of his ram, so much of his computing power
Speaker 3: to get through the Ilia called their own part, that
Speaker 3: when it came to the next part, he was out
Speaker 3: of gas. Baby.
Speaker 4: His brain couldn't believe that his mouth had just said
Speaker 4: it correctly, right, yeah, just me.
Speaker 3: He's like, whoa did you hear that ship? That was
Speaker 3: what was happening in his brain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, as he just melted down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, in his mind he was like Celia Cruz, he
Speaker 3: was like me after saying that name, He's like like like,
Speaker 3: He's like, it's me baby. Yeah, he thought he did that.
Speaker 3: So then it was just incoherent talking points mixed with
Speaker 3: these people just yelling over each other. This is just here.
Speaker 3: You want to hear some yelling over each other. Oh baby,
Speaker 3: I had to turn it off, put your nightcap on
Speaker 3: and listen. That's why I'm sparing everybody by just giving
Speaker 3: you some of the tidbits here here, here's so that's
Speaker 3: that's one thing that happened.
Speaker 4: Okay, So Nikki Haley and Tim Scott are yelling over
Speaker 4: each other while Ron DeSantis is trying to start talking
Speaker 4: towards the camera, and then Vivec is holding up his
Speaker 4: hand to be like, can I speak, you can speak.
Speaker 4: Here's just four people trying to talk.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, and it gets worse, well maybe better. This
Speaker 3: is this is It just goes on. Here's more people
Speaker 3: yelling over each other, but with Ron DeSantis trying to
Speaker 3: say something, here's what you've done here. Interesting guys have said,
Speaker 3: here's the fact.
Speaker 1: And I appreciate a lot of the things they're saying.
Speaker 3: Lily one up here. I love that Mike was turned.
Speaker 3: Now he's like, here's the thing, right, nobody's trying to
Speaker 3: it's like rush yeah, yeah, just stupid. He did give
Speaker 3: us another one of the smiles though. The smile.
Speaker 4: He's having like some sort of neurological event.
Speaker 3: He's having, like he's probably like electrode, like anklet went
Speaker 3: off that reminds him to smile, and that's he's like,
Speaker 3: like they're like human ron Uh. Here's Nicky Haley just
Speaker 3: fucking taking his ship on Vi Ramaswami's whole TikTok presence.
Speaker 7: Social media asks that we could have and what you've got. Honestly,
Speaker 7: every time I hear you, I feel a little bit
Speaker 7: dumber for what you say because I can't believe they
Speaker 7: hear TikTok situation there.
Speaker 3: But she used that to pivot into like TikTok is
Speaker 3: Chinese and bad.
Speaker 4: Every time I hear you, I feel dumber.
Speaker 3: Is pretty good. Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good little
Speaker 3: body blow from her. And I think probably one of
Speaker 3: the worst moments came when Tim Scott just basically said that,
Speaker 3: you know, things like the Voting Rights Act and the
Speaker 3: Civil Rights Act were worse than slavery. Here's Tim Scott
Speaker 3: talking about Johnson's you know, Lyndon Johnson's Great Society Free.
Speaker 3: Here's the challenge.
Speaker 9: Though black families survived slavery, we survived poll texas and
Speaker 9: literacy tests, we survived discrimination being woven into the laws
Speaker 9: of our country. What was hard to survive was Johnson's
Speaker 9: Great Society, where they decided to put money, where they
Speaker 9: decided to take the black father out of the household
Speaker 9: to get a check in the mail, and you can
Speaker 9: now measure that in unemployment and crime and devastation if
Speaker 9: you want to resarve.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so does that argument he said they decided to
Speaker 4: take money.
Speaker 3: I think he's trying to say like things like you know,
Speaker 3: welfare and social safety nets. Essentially, all he's doing is
Speaker 3: he's saying a bunch of talking points to just really
Speaker 3: do the whole White supremacy isn't the problem?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, it's very much giving he's on
Speaker 1: black people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I get that in his mind because he's
Speaker 3: surrounded by white supremacy and that's and and you know,
Speaker 3: embracing it is the only way that I'm sure he's
Speaker 3: been able to achieve the heights that he has on
Speaker 3: the in the on the right that he's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: this is great, this is doing something. But you know,
Speaker 3: all you're doing is just getting these like other racist
Speaker 3: people like nodding along with you, like it's not it's
Speaker 3: not scoring points. You look foolish selling your own people
Speaker 3: out like that and being like essentially be like what
Speaker 3: was bad was when civil rights were like enumerated into law.
Speaker 3: Come on, Tim Scott, And there was one last moment,
Speaker 3: I don't. I gotta see if I can find this clip. Basically,
Speaker 3: Dana Perino treated it like like survivor and said, which
Speaker 3: of these people would you vote off the island? Because
Speaker 3: right now, the way she framed it was, if all
Speaker 3: of you stay in the race, Donald Trump absolutely gets
Speaker 3: the nomination. So thinking about that, are there any people
Speaker 3: that you think should drop out? And maybe you get
Speaker 3: voted off the island? Everybody, I want you to write
Speaker 3: the name down of who you think should be voted
Speaker 3: off the island tonight and was like yeah, Nikki Haley
Speaker 3: was like wait are you and she like really proposing
Speaker 3: this ship. So yeah, all around, all around, uh nonsense.
Speaker 4: The overall response from Republican donors seem to have been
Speaker 4: panicked and they're now being like, Glenn Youngkin, you're not
Speaker 4: currently in the race, maybe you could do something.
Speaker 3: So they're gonna ask.
Speaker 4: The Virginia guy to like come into the race, and
Speaker 4: because that's what they need. More people who don't have
Speaker 4: like any sort of a.
Speaker 3: More more things that are as interesting as watching like
Speaker 3: ice cream melt on a sidewalk kind of people. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but they're do it so well. But yeah, like a
Speaker 3: lot of the donors, like what do we do? Like,
Speaker 3: what's what's the deal now? It's like, I don't know, y'all.
Speaker 3: This is this is what happens when you let just
Speaker 3: Trump completely take over your party. You have no party.
Speaker 3: You just have Trump now, and until like you the
Speaker 3: plurality of them, you know, come around to being like
Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck what happens, Like we just
Speaker 3: have to fucking get this guy out. It's good luck.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have more of this shit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and uh
Speaker 4: come back and talk about drugs.
Speaker 13: Yeah, and we're back, and there is somehow still a thing.
Speaker 4: Having been born in nineteen eighty and like lived in
Speaker 4: like all my early memories are in a decade where
Speaker 4: it was just your brain on drugs, Like just this,
Speaker 4: we straightforward just say no to drugs. I thought drugs
Speaker 4: were a thing people were going to make me do,
Speaker 4: like force into right red stream when I got to
Speaker 4: high school.
Speaker 3: Well that's only Seattle, Jack. If you drive through Seattle,
Speaker 3: that will happen to you. That will happen.
Speaker 4: They will force it actually through your car.
Speaker 1: They have through your car window.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you can't. You have to have your windows up.
Speaker 4: Come on, they're they're gonna blow heroin into you, and
Speaker 4: you you have to have the air recycling in your
Speaker 4: air in your car you heroin gets in.
Speaker 3: But so I I think we assumed that the DARE
Speaker 3: program went away most of us right until I saw
Speaker 3: I saw some people outside of a best Buy, like
Speaker 3: best Buy. Yeah did you see that? What you saw
Speaker 3: their people outside of best Buy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was the best Boy. Yeah, there people stand
Speaker 1: outside of the best spot. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: have like like there's a contract, but they will. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's where I saw their people too.
Speaker 3: I've seen their people outside two Best Buys before with
Speaker 3: like kind it get you to sign something, And all
Speaker 3: I said was like, y'all are what the fuck? I
Speaker 3: was like, noah, man, I'm here for I'm here from
Speaker 3: a mouse pad. Now leave me the fuck alone.
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I mean there there's obviously an epidemic
Speaker 4: of overdose deaths. Like the thing that Pee Herman was
Speaker 4: saying in that ps A that we listened to up
Speaker 4: top is that was not true of crack. Like Crack
Speaker 4: didn't have like a epidemic of ods, I don't think,
Speaker 4: but it did. Like that that is happening with fentanyl
Speaker 4: like ventyl is causing a massive spike and overdoses like
Speaker 4: and you don't know if there's too much and people
Speaker 4: like that. Does seem to be like the thing that
Speaker 4: they told us about drugs in the eighties has absolutely
Speaker 4: come true.
Speaker 3: It's called manifesting. Yeah it might be, but one will
Speaker 3: happen and we will go fucking hog wild over this ship.
Speaker 4: Yes, so they've decided, Okay, this is real, no more
Speaker 4: fucking around. Let's go back to that idea that was
Speaker 4: proven to not work and was just a way to
Speaker 4: get money, to funnel money to cops, right essentially. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So the DARE program is being brought back to several
Speaker 4: school districts following a prolonged absence, this time with a
Speaker 4: specific focus on fentanyl. Doesn't seem like they've learned anything
Speaker 4: from the first time, Like that the thing that people
Speaker 4: say was wrong with the DARE program in the first place,
Speaker 4: First of all, that it was cops, cops going into classrooms, Yep,
Speaker 4: yeah that part. Second of all, they were doing it
Speaker 4: too early, they were targeting kids who weren't really they're
Speaker 4: trying to like get it in kids' brains before, like
Speaker 4: drugs were a real thing to them.
Speaker 3: It's just like it. That's why it didn't work for me.
Speaker 1: My drug was power Rangers at it right, Like I
Speaker 1: have no idea what a crack pipe is, you.
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, totally or like I knew it from a movie,
Speaker 3: but like other than that, I was like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean I've seen seen New Jack City, but that's not
Speaker 3: that's not how I live. So yeah, because I think
Speaker 3: what I think. I was in fifth grade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same, I was probably in like fourth or fifth
Speaker 1: grade when they started pushing there down my throat.
Speaker 3: And I just remember being like, this is, if anything,
Speaker 3: you're educating me on how like how drugs are. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's all that was. That was like my first real
Speaker 3: conversation about drugs, where like the cop brought drugs into
Speaker 3: the classroom and we pasted it around.
Speaker 4: Let's smell that pipe. That's the worst smell you're ever
Speaker 4: gonna smell.
Speaker 3: I remember saying that. I was like, that smells good.
Speaker 1: Actually for failure, but yeah, yeah it was.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize it was created by uh the l
Speaker 4: A p D. Chief of Police Area Gate Baby, who
Speaker 4: his thoughts on recreational drug users is that they should
Speaker 4: be taken out and shot. So well, okay, so very
Speaker 4: like humane approach to Yeah drug it.
Speaker 3: Was Dote before do Terte.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tarte got his ship from Darrel, the Johnny apple
Speaker 4: seed of the DARE program. But at its height, DARE
Speaker 4: was being taught at a whopping seventy five percent of schools.
Speaker 4: By nineteen ninety eight, it was reportedly costing taxpayers six
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars a years. Yeah, and the presentations were
Speaker 4: just full of racist dog whistles, or just not dog whistles,
Speaker 4: just racism, like pointing to the broken black family as
Speaker 4: the source of the drug crisis.
Speaker 3: It's going to a ptominly white school. Have the os
Speaker 3: be like, Miles, you know about that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, does your parents your family?
Speaker 3: Yeah, You're like, I have no idea what this is.
Speaker 3: I would see your mom picking you up right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Whish dad, You're like, man, get out of my line.
Speaker 1: But the thing that always bugged me about DARE was like,
Speaker 1: it's like the gum theory. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: all are familiar what I call it. The gum theory.
Speaker 1: It may not be real, but I think about it.
Speaker 1: It's like when you tell some like when you tell
Speaker 1: kids to not chew gum in school. They're gonna chew
Speaker 1: gum because you're telling.
Speaker 4: Them underground gum racket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a whole Like I was the girl
Speaker 1: that was bringing the gum to school to give to everybody,
Speaker 1: Like what are you so like? DARE was always like,
Speaker 1: it was so dumb to me because I'm going, you're
Speaker 1: telling kids not to quote unquote do something, and all
Speaker 1: you're doing is you're just picking their interest. But yes,
Speaker 1: it was very much riddled in anti blackness, and that
Speaker 1: is something that I've always had an issue with when
Speaker 1: it comes to this program.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're paying the least cool, least trustworthy people in
Speaker 4: your community to come into school and talk to the
Speaker 4: k the part of your community that most despises them.
Speaker 3: Right, and the drugs on people.
Speaker 1: They put drugs on people, So how are you going
Speaker 1: to tell me? Yeah, I don't know. I've always had
Speaker 1: issues with DARE. I've always had issues with the police.
Speaker 1: But I will say very openly that I think DARE
Speaker 1: is just a way to make black people look worse
Speaker 1: than what the world already does.
Speaker 3: So yeah, just yeah, reinforce like the police perspective or
Speaker 3: what drug use even to Yeah, it's it's black people mostly,
Speaker 3: and then also like getting kids like snitch on their
Speaker 3: parents and shit like that. They had I remember them.
Speaker 4: Having a box that you put a non air notes
Speaker 4: into the DARE box and then at the end of
Speaker 4: the class, the DARE officer would read the questions and
Speaker 4: this was just a thing that smartasses used to like
Speaker 4: make them read stupid shit. But yeah, apparently it ended
Speaker 4: like that that DARE box resulted in children like knarking
Speaker 4: on their parents and being removed from their own homes
Speaker 4: by social services because they revealed that their parents were
Speaker 4: taking drugs aka smoking a little bit of pot. So
Speaker 4: really cool problem solving there, creating fucking just situations.
Speaker 3: But like to doctor John's point, like it it's like
Speaker 3: verifiable that DARE did fuck all to prevent kids from
Speaker 3: using drugs, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the stats are officially in and it
Speaker 4: either had no effect or made children slightly more likely
Speaker 4: to use drugs and alcohol at an early age.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm telling you it did because I legitimately wanted
Speaker 3: to smoke PCP. Yeah, he said, I'm not joking. I'm
Speaker 3: hearing my best friend. I know, but this is my
Speaker 3: fucking tanel, like my loven year old brain right. First
Speaker 3: of all, the first thing we always ask him at
Speaker 3: the top of every day class was can we hold
Speaker 3: your gun?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: He never and he was like, no, there's no way,
Speaker 3: but we asked it every time. He's like, you guys
Speaker 3: have to stop asking well, could you pull it out
Speaker 3: and show us the bullets? No, he's like, we have
Speaker 3: to get going. He's like what is that? And then
Speaker 3: like we have kids who like new guns, and he
Speaker 3: would always get annoyed. But so he's talked about this,
Speaker 3: like so we're gonna talk about PCP, Angel dos shit
Speaker 3: like that. I got this exact same speech. That's crazy.
Speaker 3: He said. He went to a call at a jack
Speaker 3: in the box where a guy had just beamed up,
Speaker 3: smoked some PCP and was fighting the police there and
Speaker 3: they had they needed back up. He said. When he
Speaker 3: got there, this guy who smoked PCP lifted a fucking
Speaker 3: dumpster about the.
Speaker 1: I remember that story.
Speaker 6: And threw it at a cop car and me and
Speaker 6: my friends were all like shit, We were like, yes,
Speaker 6: are you yeah, We're like, how does it give you
Speaker 6: the how does it give you strength?
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm not sure. It's like the drugs, the
Speaker 3: drugs duty. It's like but then like we're like, what
Speaker 3: is it like your muscles, like could you work like
Speaker 3: I remember asking shit, like if you worked out on PCP,
Speaker 3: would you keep that strength? And he was so again
Speaker 3: irritated by my curiosity around PCP induced superhuman strength. But yeah,
Speaker 3: he just got mad. He's like, God, this is not
Speaker 3: a cool thing. And and it's funny that everybody, I
Speaker 3: guess someone everybody heard this version of PCP gives you
Speaker 3: superhuman strength, to the point where, like YouTube came out.
Speaker 3: I was I was scouring YouTube for footage of somebody
Speaker 3: on PCP with that kind of strength. Never found it,
Speaker 3: And I was like, this was this cop lying to
Speaker 3: me and he was, oh, oh mm hmm, you believe
Speaker 3: that shit? Yes, cop life.
Speaker 4: And so as the stats are coming out, the DARE
Speaker 4: program is doing their own research, you know, and they're like,
Speaker 4: all right, well, we're gonna get the DOJ to fund
Speaker 4: this study to see what the like, what actually happened,
Speaker 4: what's actually going on here?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: And a month later, for the first time in memory,
Speaker 4: the DOJ refused to publish a study it had funded
Speaker 4: for the first time ever wow, because it found that
Speaker 4: the DARE program was useless and was taking money away
Speaker 4: from programs that actually worked. Behind the scenes, DARE went
Speaker 4: ballistic and they just kept saying this one like every
Speaker 4: time they get they get attacked. The DARE program is
Speaker 4: like criticizing DAAR is like kicking your mother or saying
Speaker 4: that apple pie doesn't taste good.
Speaker 3: And then like a.
Speaker 4: Decade later they were criticized or like proven to be
Speaker 4: fraudulent again, and their response was, it's like kicking Santa Claus.
Speaker 4: To me, we're as pure as the driven snow, so
Speaker 4: like where as pure as the Colombian cocaine we put
Speaker 4: in front of children there your weekend Columbian flake.
Speaker 1: I just want to know where the money went, Like
Speaker 1: there was a lot of money that was being moved
Speaker 1: in the nineties around there, and I'm just oh.
Speaker 3: To know where it went, right right right two corrupt cops.
Speaker 3: I'm wondering about where where Like did it go into
Speaker 3: some like bene benevolent police fund? I wonder or it
Speaker 3: was just like if you got that DARE gig, They're like,
Speaker 3: oh shit, man, you're off street street the street beat.
Speaker 3: Oh you're just doing fucking DARE classes. Oh that's right
Speaker 3: right there. They were.
Speaker 4: They were confiscating luxury cars like Porsches and BMW's and
Speaker 4: turning them into Dair vehicles, like with a Dare decal
Speaker 4: on it that they got to drive around. They were like, well,
Speaker 4: it becomes pretty apparent who's winning here, though, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, right, And then the kid's like, wow,
Speaker 4: the police department buys you guys cars like, no, we
Speaker 4: can't afford that. Drug dealers get rich enough to buy
Speaker 4: cars like this, And then you're like.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, that's the wave. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In reality, they were doing the same exact thing that
Speaker 1: drug dealers were doing. They were selling you something. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: But amazingly, Dare still used as the Dare box, Like
Speaker 4: they still really have the write down questions for cops, folks.
Speaker 4: It's anonymous, purely anonymous psych We're actually gonna investigate your
Speaker 4: parents if you say that what any of these things are?
Speaker 3: Right? That, uh, that's smell familiar to you?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and where to Like I could totally see
Speaker 4: being like, oh, yeah, I know I know what that smells.
Speaker 4: That's weed, and then being.
Speaker 3: Like, well, yeah, how do you know that?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: I my parents?
Speaker 4: Yeah, just fucking panicking and throwing your parents under the bus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I was at
Speaker 3: a reggae festival recently. That's why I know. Next question,
Speaker 3: no questions. I need a lawyer offer for the questions.

Speaker 1: basically going off about what's happening around the you know,
Speaker 1: SAG and the WGA, and so yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: funniest tweet that I have found there was a woman
Speaker 1: who had tweeted something and had said that she's excited
Speaker 1: to see Bob Iger in a couple of weeks in
Speaker 1: a meeting, And that tickled me, like she was just
Speaker 1: really excited to see him because obviously they won what
Speaker 1: they were asking for and Bob Iger was a big
Speaker 1: issue with that. So but yeah, just watching people talk

Speaker 3: is I found the tweet or the video of Data
Speaker 3: Perino at the debate telling everybody to pretend this is
Speaker 3: survivor I'm just gonna play this for you because it is.
Speaker 3: It's absurd and at the end of the day, like
Speaker 3: all of the candidates are like they for some reason,
Speaker 3: they're like this is too far for us. Backing Donald Trump, fine,
Speaker 3: but asking us to write on a notepad who we
Speaker 3: dislike the mouse We're not going to do it. But
Speaker 3: here's Dana Prino actually saying this out loud to candidates
Speaker 3: at a fucking debate.
Speaker 14: But we do only have a few minutes, and candidates,
Speaker 14: it's now obvious that if you all stay in the race,
Speaker 14: former President Donald Trump wins the nomination. None of you
Speaker 14: have indicated that you're dropping out. So which one of
Speaker 14: you on stage tonight should be voted off the island?
Speaker 14: Please use your marker to write your choice on the
Speaker 14: no pad in front of you. Fifteen seconds starting out
Speaker 14: of the people on the stage.
Speaker 3: As she was, and they're like, nah, fuck that they wouldn't. No,
Speaker 3: they wouldn't. It was a bridge too far for them. Somehow.
Speaker 3: I would have just loved to see them.
Speaker 4: They're still trying to pretend they're serious people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bergram would have been the easy choice.
Speaker 3: Nobody's you know, nobody's standing up for him, right.
Speaker 4: Amazing some tweets I've been enjoying. Emily Murname tweeted, Babe,
Speaker 4: what's wrong You've barely chugged your ego brunch and a
Speaker 4: jar Appalachian sip and cream with a photograph of a
Speaker 4: product that is not photoshopped as far as I can tell,
Speaker 4: and the responses people are like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw the on the shelf that like, it's
Speaker 3: a real store.
Speaker 4: Ego brunching a jar, waffles and syrup cream.

Speaker 3: right now and go get that ship because it's it's wow.
Speaker 3: I don't even to say.
Speaker 4: The product alone, mixed with the fact that it is
Speaker 4: liquor exclusively designed to be drunk with breakfast is so good.
Speaker 4: Like that just a level of just full blown knowing,
Speaker 4: just giving up give up juice, you know, give up juice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me get some give up juice. Can I
Speaker 3: get some of that give up juice real quick? You
Speaker 3: absolutely can?
Speaker 4: And then at Warm Underscore Hole tweeted your baby is

Speaker 3: disgusting recipes to use this ego brunch in the jar
Speaker 3: to make cocktails. There's one that's like you need fernet
Speaker 3: to make I don't know this is this is too
Speaker 3: much appalation.
