Speaker 4: that you know, here, we're a family, and you know
Speaker 4: we don't need any outside unions coming between.
Speaker 2: Us, right because we understand each other.
Speaker 4: Then we don't have open communication, you know. And I
Speaker 4: always felt like this bean bag really represented, you know,
Speaker 4: our shared heart.
Speaker 1: If you unionize, management will not be able to afford
Speaker 1: bean bags and have fun days like fun at work.
Speaker 3: And imagine if we didn't have this day where you know.
Speaker 2: And also I'm sorry, but Francisco, we said the Kafia
Speaker 2: didn't count for fun dress day. It's just a little
Speaker 2: too see. Oh no, okay, oh dear my name.
Speaker 3: Well now it's not a safe space. I'm sorry. We
Speaker 3: could keep going. This is just the whole episode is just.
Speaker 1: This fun at work, aggressive fun at work. Jesus, my
Speaker 1: name is Jack O'Brien aka. He dashed by.
Speaker 5: Me and painted on jeans and all heads turned because
Speaker 5: it looked like he pete in the blink of and
Speaker 5: I undo those plumpers and his name. He said, there's
Speaker 5: some water as he wanted to tame Ocean City King.
Speaker 5: That is courtesy of Blacharney Save the same pe.
Speaker 1: Our dicks a p as one. No, you're in on
Speaker 1: the run. That is this full Licarni Lacaroni on the
Speaker 1: Discord and I'm thrilled to be joined as always by
Speaker 1: my co host mister Miles.
Speaker 2: Gray Miles Breaking.
Speaker 6: Dream will DJ call it is driving way too fast?
Speaker 6: Oh dreamed Me and Shane gill List on the same podcast,
Speaker 6: Shout out to see coming there, honey, I seize you.
Speaker 2: You hit me with the dreams fleetw with mac Aka.
Speaker 2: I said I need dream Weaver. You came through with
Speaker 2: that one. You thank you and you listen to the
Speaker 2: updates I had the weird Shane Gillis dream. It's all
Speaker 2: just it's all happening.
Speaker 1: Miles is Rich dream life. We're all living and dying
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, truly, how are they still coming?
Speaker 1: They're still They're still.
Speaker 2: They're wobbling. I'm doing the thing now where I'm like
Speaker 2: trying to document immediately like when I was that, what
Speaker 2: was I doing was I Yes, it's coming and going
Speaker 2: right now. And that probably has to do with the
Speaker 2: the weed being smoked a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but hey, and also once you get used to them,
Speaker 1: you know, they're not as memorable.
Speaker 2: I I think that is probably the other part too,
Speaker 2: because I went from zero dreams to just fucking dream Weaver,
Speaker 2: and now like I think, I'm I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: I'm taking him for granted. I'm trying to. That's that's
Speaker 2: for myself to do some work, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: DJ Khalis, we're all dreaming. I feel like we are
Speaker 1: all having dreams where DJ Khaled's driving way too fast
Speaker 1: on the highway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's to be way too casual about it.
Speaker 1: That's right, because we all are metaphorically being driven around
Speaker 1: by djala another from moment to moment.
Speaker 3: That's definitely like a high.
Speaker 4: Like me, like really really high in the back seat
Speaker 4: of DJ khal it's like cars, just like fuck, I
Speaker 4: need to get out right now. I feel I'm gonna die.
Speaker 4: I feel so unsafe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's like, no, it's all good, bro, watch
Speaker 2: this and you're just like hitting fucking the turns are
Speaker 2: way too aggressive anyway.
Speaker 4: What does it mean when you know because you're in
Speaker 4: the backseat of a car and there's no one driving.
Speaker 4: That's sort of about loss of control or feeling stressed.
Speaker 4: And I have those dreams a lot. But like you
Speaker 4: look in the front seat and DJ kaledge driving.
Speaker 2: I don't know what college.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that means a whole nother level.
Speaker 2: That's like, yeah, have I reached a level where he
Speaker 2: is like serving me? And somehow I have to examine
Speaker 2: how DJ Khaled is no longer serving me in some sense.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's like I said, I think it's
Speaker 2: just for me to.
Speaker 1: Fire the unconscious part of the world of your mind
Speaker 1: telling you that you should write him in for president.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I like that because I've already had a
Speaker 2: great experience with him in control of something already. I
Speaker 2: want to extend that now to the entire government. Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: see that.
Speaker 1: Francesca. Do you have the recurring nightmare where you're out
Speaker 1: of where there's no one driving, You're in a car
Speaker 1: and no one's driving. That was like my that was
Speaker 1: my growing up. It was like I never had the
Speaker 1: stream that I had over and over my mom, because
Speaker 1: my mom would always like leave me in the car,
Speaker 1: went to like run into do an errand or something,
Speaker 1: and like I would have the dream where like the
Speaker 1: car takes off.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's wild. Nobody did that in my
Speaker 2: family because my grandmother tried to do that once and
Speaker 2: I put she had the car running, and I figured
Speaker 2: out how to move the shifter and I put that
Speaker 2: shit into neutral and we started cruising and she almost yeah,
Speaker 2: and then they're like, no, this motherfucker can't be in
Speaker 2: the car anymore.
Speaker 3: The lesson wasn't just turn off the engine, right, It
Speaker 3: was like, yeah.
Speaker 2: No, he's figuring it out because it was a pretty
Speaker 2: young age that I was like, oh, step on that
Speaker 2: thing to move the other one, like I was like
Speaker 2: three or four. I was like four. It was bad.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in
Speaker 1: our third seat by a brilliant comedian, writer, journalist, activist
Speaker 1: you know from places like Al Jazeera, MSNBC, The Young Turks, Yes,

Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's how you met Matt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna love everything.
Speaker 1: Wow. How are you doing, Francesca.
Speaker 3: I'm okay.
Speaker 4: I'm a little tired because I had late late night
Speaker 4: pasta and it kept me up.
Speaker 3: If if anyone can relate, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that I was acting so insensitive to this.
Speaker 2: But is it just that merely the act of digestion
Speaker 2: at too late a point in the day completely disrupts
Speaker 2: your sleep.
Speaker 4: That's the du Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a little
Speaker 4: bit of if you remember from the Christmas Carol Ebeneezer,
Speaker 4: when Marley first appears, He's like, yes, it could be.
Speaker 3: That your undigested patient, Mike.
Speaker 4: You know, like that moment you're like, oh shit, like
Speaker 4: an undigested piece of meat.
Speaker 3: It is like keeps you up, or you're having weird
Speaker 3: dreams and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Turns into a ghost. I mean that's just exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, he's visited by three ghosts, and I emerged
Speaker 4: the same bitch as yesterday.
Speaker 1: I definitely sleep much better if I don't eat right
Speaker 1: before I go to bed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the same thing with alcohol a couple of hours.
Speaker 2: I sleep so good with a full belly. Really.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very sumo wrestlers. You know. They know I'm
Speaker 3: so jealous of their life.
Speaker 4: They just get up and eat like a like a downberry,
Speaker 4: just like tons of like whatever you need, or over
Speaker 4: like a thin, massive thing of rice.
Speaker 2: It's that's what they eat, is like that big They
Speaker 2: eat a big ass communal bowl of just calories.
Speaker 3: And then go n night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, got to got to just because they can't expand
Speaker 4: the calories.
Speaker 1: If they have a day where like like a day
Speaker 1: like I have on a regular basis where I'm feeling
Speaker 1: like pretty late, what most people would described is pretty lazy.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, I'm falling behind. I need
Speaker 1: to be like in a fucking coma today to gratch
Speaker 1: up on all the energy I expended yesterday.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, what a life.
Speaker 1: Holy shit. All right, Francesca, we're gonna get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better in the moment. First, we're
Speaker 1: going to tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about today. We're going to check in with
Speaker 1: the good people at Exxon to see how they're dealing
Speaker 1: with just the slightest, the whisperyest hint of climate accountability
Speaker 1: inside their full.
Speaker 2: Your pants mode.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Israel has quietly admitted that Gaza the Gaza
Speaker 1: Health Ministry numbers are accurate.
Speaker 2: Wait a seconds, but I was told even from President
Speaker 2: Joe Byron that he doesn't believe those numbers. We're gonna
Speaker 2: check with Nancy Mace.
Speaker 1: We'll also look at some of the stories that didn't
Speaker 1: happen this week, but that you might have heard did
Speaker 1: at least some people on the Internet are saying did,
Speaker 1: such as some pictures of Tom Hanks wearing various political
Speaker 1: slogans disease X. Disease X is the big one. That's
Speaker 1: the one that even I saw and I keep my
Speaker 1: eyes closed for most of the day. As as mentioned, yeah,
Speaker 1: all of that plenty more. But first, Francesca, we do
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: So I was listening to this podcast Radio Ambulante, which
Speaker 4: is in Spanish. It's like an MPR storytelling podcast. It's
Speaker 4: really good, and they're doing a series on Naib Bukele,
Speaker 4: who's the president of El Salvador. And I didn't know this,
Speaker 4: but Bukele is of Palestinian descent, like his family is Palestinian.
Speaker 4: He's part of like yeah, an Arab Salvadoran population. But
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh shit, you know, could be
Speaker 4: an incredible moment for a Palestinian right or a president
Speaker 4: of Palestine origin to say fucking something in this moment.
Speaker 3: Googled it to.
Speaker 4: Just make sure, like obviously this podcast is doing their research.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I had no idea. And of
Speaker 4: course what he said in this you know, time of
Speaker 4: genocide is anyone who stands with the Palestinians.
Speaker 3: Is a terrorist.
Speaker 4: Oh so not only is this dude, you know, trying
Speaker 4: to run an entire country off crypto. Not only is
Speaker 4: he routinely just imprisoning and massively sweeping up any man
Speaker 4: you know between the ages and man or boy between
Speaker 4: the ages of like you know, sixteen and fifty and
Speaker 4: imprisoning them preemptively calling them all gangsters. But then he's
Speaker 4: also like, has no any kind of you know, solidarity
Speaker 4: with his own people, which is actually pretty surprising given
Speaker 4: I think like Palestinians in the diaspora are generally like
Speaker 4: will speak out in favor of their people because their
Speaker 4: parents were the ones who were like displaced in the Naxa.
Speaker 3: Will and because nobody else will. So it's just very interesting.
Speaker 4: It's like, oh, yeah, because he's a right winger, so
Speaker 4: of course he's gonna throw his people on their bus
Speaker 4: because he right winger.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, that cancels out. He's like, I have
Speaker 2: no identity except the right.
Speaker 3: Way, except for many But yeah, that's what I was
Speaker 3: looking at.
Speaker 1: Damn. What is What's something you think is overrated award shows? OI?
Speaker 4: Just I can't believe it. I just let's just call
Speaker 4: it what it is. Let's just do a fashion show.
Speaker 4: Let's just have a camera in the Vanity Fair party
Speaker 4: and watch you know, like yeah, watch Margot Robbie like
Speaker 4: be cute and off the cuff, like watch Ryan Gosling
Speaker 4: like loosen his tie a little bit. Like I just
Speaker 4: that's all we want to see is pretty people doing
Speaker 4: like doing fun things. Everything is. I just hate award
Speaker 4: season and award shows. And I guess I may be
Speaker 4: a little bit salty because no one's using their platform
Speaker 4: to say fuck all about you know, genocide. Even folks
Speaker 4: who I know are down, I know are cool, are
Speaker 4: still shook as hell.
Speaker 3: I'm just tired.
Speaker 4: There's so many and I like want to be the
Speaker 4: person who's like, yeah, we'll come over to your house,
Speaker 4: we'll watch the ship.
Speaker 3: I don't give a shit.
Speaker 4: About Yeah, it doesn't mean I don't value acting, writing, directing,
Speaker 4: all that stuff. But like the awards, the Awards show,
Speaker 4: it's it's such a it's so obvious and at the
Speaker 4: off the back of the you know, the strikes, the
Speaker 4: sag and WJ struck. It's such a like participation trophy,
Speaker 4: like let's it's the equivalent of corporate fun Day in Hollywood.
Speaker 4: It's we're gonna give you little prizes.
Speaker 2: And a party, so you forget about all that.
Speaker 4: Even though we're gonna like like routinely underpay you, and
Speaker 4: no one's actually gonna talk about how much they made
Speaker 4: because you got like half of what he got, you know.
Speaker 3: Like anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I was really heartened by that Hillary Clinton tweet.
Speaker 1: It gave me strength to get through the news cycle.
Speaker 2: The way, my goodness, the way she's able to center herself.
Speaker 1: As much as anyone get it.
Speaker 2: Okay, you want at the you want at the box
Speaker 2: office or ballot box. It's like Jesus please.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that was awful.
Speaker 4: Also, she stays being so cringe, Like I have to
Speaker 4: hand it to her, like, no, like to be so
Speaker 4: consistently cringe is not easy.
Speaker 1: No, that's smart for him, it is. Yeah, she should
Speaker 1: win the Best Original something for her ability to constantly
Speaker 1: remain in character at the most unexpected of times and
Speaker 1: just find a way to insinuate her very specific brand
Speaker 1: of cringe.
Speaker 2: And that's up there. I mean, one of my favorites
Speaker 2: was Hot Sauce in my Back. That was like.
Speaker 3: So try hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so we should see those she knows a moment,
Speaker 2: you know, so we we should say specifically what happened.
Speaker 1: She tweeted at Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie and was like, girls,
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 4: I well, it can sting to win the box office
Speaker 4: but not take home the gold. Your millions of fans
Speaker 4: love you. You're both so much more than kinoff hashtag
Speaker 4: Hillary Barbie, which.
Speaker 3: Isn't a thing. It wouldn't be Hillary Barbie, you idiot.
Speaker 4: It'd be like pantsuit Barbie or political Barbie, or you know,
Speaker 4: robot Barbie, or warmonger Barbie, or you know, centrist Barbie
Speaker 4: or fucking never gonna be president Barbie.
Speaker 3: Like that's what who you know? Regime change Barbie?
Speaker 2: Right right, right?
Speaker 3: I digress.
Speaker 2: I mean no, she's it caused it got the reaction
Speaker 2: I think she wanted. You know, I think it did more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is so much. I mean, let's okay, just
Speaker 3: just like two cents on this.
Speaker 4: I saw the movie. I love the movie. I was wondering,
Speaker 4: I wonder if there's like regime change warmongers in this
Speaker 4: all felt email, you know, Congress and whatnot. They probably are,
Speaker 4: I guess, but my guess is not like I think
Speaker 4: under the matriarchy would have a lot less war.
Speaker 3: I truly believe that.
Speaker 4: But I did walk away going you know who really
Speaker 4: crushed this guys on.
Speaker 3: Popular opinion, Fucking Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 2: He crushed, he crushed.
Speaker 4: It's not only that he was And look, Greta should
Speaker 4: have been a nominated for Best Director.
Speaker 3: Greta Gerwig was totally snubbed. That was a snub. Margot
Speaker 3: Robbie was good. I'm not sure it was.
Speaker 4: At Best actress level, but Ryan Gosling was like hilarious,
Speaker 4: like sad, weak but angry, but like much he's more.
Speaker 4: And then he fucking danced and sang. I don't know
Speaker 4: what more we want, like he truly deserved to be
Speaker 4: nominated Best Actor, Like he came away with it, and
Speaker 4: we're like, yeah.
Speaker 1: He was the best.
Speaker 3: He truly was the standout performer of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm more on that later. But
Speaker 1: what is Hillary Clinton think? Yeah, that is the question
Speaker 1: that was on everybody uddy's mind. Thank you queen for
Speaker 1: filling us in. I agree with I think Greta Gerway
Speaker 1: was a snub, but Ryan Gosling was the performance that
Speaker 1: I walked away from being like that. I mean, he
Speaker 1: probably won't win Best Supporting Actor, but like I think
Speaker 1: he should like he won't because it's like too funny,
Speaker 1: and the oscars are like, that's not serious, but he
Speaker 1: that shows hilarious.
Speaker 2: No, but hey, at the end of the day, it
Speaker 2: won't even matter.
Speaker 1: A war shows at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Whatever, you know, whatever.
Speaker 1: France osca, what's something you think is underrated? Though?
Speaker 4: Okay, so I have to correct something that I said
Speaker 4: last time, which was underrated not sleeping with your cat
Speaker 4: or your husband in bed. And I realize i've you know,
Speaker 4: it caused some pangs of panic. Nobody knew how to respond.
Speaker 4: Put everyone on blast that yes, sometimes you know, we
Speaker 4: have to sleep in different beds so everyone gets a
Speaker 4: good night's sleep, even though it's terrible at nights. Sleep
Speaker 4: last night, so underrated is my loving, wonderful husband, the
Speaker 4: father of my daughter, matt Leeb who is great, who
Speaker 4: even though we sleep in different beds, we have a
Speaker 4: very robust we have we have a perfect sex life.
Speaker 4: To quote Alan Derschowitz and.
Speaker 1: Uh and that is who you want to be quoted.
Speaker 4: No, no, but but but just to say, look, it
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that you're gonna get a divorce.
Speaker 3: Doesn't me you don't love each other. Everyone should feel
Speaker 3: secure out there. Don't you hear the security in my voice?
Speaker 7: M M yeah, just uh yeah, Miles Uh and Jack
Speaker 7: were very they you guys are both awkward.
Speaker 4: When I said we were like not sleeping in the
Speaker 4: same bed, you guys, we both like I But I'm
Speaker 4: here to say. I'm here to say that it's okay
Speaker 4: and that I love him no matter what. And one
Speaker 4: day we're gonna get one of those king beds that
Speaker 4: are like actually separating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack, this sounds like damage to me. Man, is.
Speaker 1: All the times I just kept saying.
Speaker 3: Mm troubling Yeah yeah, yeah, this is no.
Speaker 4: This is one hundred percent damage control and it's directed
Speaker 4: at only Matt Leeb.
Speaker 2: So yeah, oh man, Yeah I need I definitely need
Speaker 2: my own blanket. Yeah, you know, I'm definitely. The more
Speaker 2: I get to that, that Scandinavian style was like, bro,
Speaker 2: you need your own blanket because the fights that occur
Speaker 2: over the blanket, tussling occur.
Speaker 3: Yeah wow, especially because you're taller and so.
Speaker 8: Like my Hillary Clinton, the fights that between and Bill
Speaker 8: over the sheets.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm surprised you didn't do a tweet
Speaker 2: like that. She's like, you know, despite what is occurring,
Speaker 2: in it's like oh no, oh no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: Hilary Hillary, Hillary put the Barbie down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's great. I've definitely taken some time
Speaker 1: to sleep in separate room. I think it's wonderful for
Speaker 1: your sleep.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it just depends, you know, yeah, it really does,
Speaker 3: just depend.
Speaker 2: I mean also, like I think for anyone who like
Speaker 2: actually reacted to that, they being like, oh my fucking god,
Speaker 2: they sleep like it's the fucking death. Now, that's a
Speaker 2: fucking death rattle. That's relationship. It's like, come on, y'all, like, no,
Speaker 2: it isn't.
Speaker 3: Well, no it's not.
Speaker 4: And that's why I think it's but it's okay to
Speaker 4: hear because here's the thing. If all the audience found
Speaker 4: out after, like or if you guys found out, anyone
Speaker 4: found out after like I didn't say it, they'd be like, oh,
Speaker 4: now you're like why are you keeping it a secret
Speaker 4: kind of thing. That's why I'm like telling my friends
Speaker 4: so that when when they you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: So it's like so so that they don't find out
Speaker 4: later and are like, I didn't realize you guys have
Speaker 4: been being separate, But like that is not about that.
Speaker 3: It's like no, no, this is.
Speaker 1: Like here I'm from.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm getting very warm even just something it's
Speaker 4: like a pro sleep move, you know, it's just about sleep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I mean that's not there's not the
Speaker 2: real for me. I get into bed like this second,
Speaker 2: I'm about to sleep. Like I'm not one of those
Speaker 2: people who hangs out in bed and does a ton
Speaker 2: of shit. So it's not like that's really not a
Speaker 2: venue where like my relationship with her Majesty is like
Speaker 2: we're making like dreams and memories and shit like that.
Speaker 2: It's more just like, yeah, here's the place I sleep exactly.
Speaker 1: That's sleep.
Speaker 4: The problem is that, I think also it's a little
Speaker 4: bit of a flex. It's like saying you have like
Speaker 4: seven kids or whatever, or like sleeping in suburb beds
Speaker 4: or separate rooms. It's like you guys have two rooms,
Speaker 4: Like who has a luxury to do that?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's called the time out bedroom.
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. But you know it's it's good Mike. My
Speaker 4: cat's still pissed. She's been peeing all over the place.
Speaker 4: Luckily Matt does not pee all over the place to protest.
Speaker 1: So but the ki and that is a flex also
Speaker 1: that you have a husband who doesn't pee all over
Speaker 1: the place, isn't it though?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations wow, because yeah, Jack and I are like
Speaker 2: looking nervously at each other right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, my wife say the same thing, right,
Speaker 1: I do not. I don't pee in the linen closet,
Speaker 1: and she's very proud of me for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to David Busters later to celebrate. I've
Speaker 2: been about that. Would you like to go to Dave
Speaker 2: and Busters? Man said, I can play whatever I want. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I can play the Jurassic Way.
Speaker 1: Halo for like five hours in a row is fucking awesome.
Speaker 2: In the arcade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, Halo, that's that's the big game. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can play Halo now, and like it's they've got like
Speaker 1: this giant like wide screen experience.
Speaker 2: Well they do have that big shooter game. You're right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you play that with your kids.
Speaker 1: I don't play it, but my seven year old will
Speaker 1: play it until I like drag him away because he
Speaker 1: is suffering from malnutrition.
Speaker 2: Like he will just play withering Away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like yeah, sh.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I just you know, seven year old like
Speaker 3: a beer a very long beard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so wispy. It's good though, because I always know
Speaker 1: where he is, you know.
Speaker 2: Just follow the trail of the long beard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We're
Speaker 1: going to come back, and we're going to check in
Speaker 1: with our good friends at Exon, who we can trust
Speaker 1: to solve this climate thing.
Speaker 2: NBD.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: And we're back.
Speaker 1: NBD stands for no big deal. Mom. All right, she's
Speaker 1: been listening and she has questions. So I'm just aiming to.
Speaker 2: Dude, I was telling you off Mike, save what my mom.
Speaker 1: She got questions too.
Speaker 2: She's she has like she does analysis, which is hilarious.
Speaker 2: That might be the own podcast.
Speaker 3: Your mom should get together into a podcast that's just
Speaker 3: like After Show.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a rewatch of this podcast right right, or
Speaker 4: like Lie Commentary right where they figure stuff out, they
Speaker 4: break it down.
Speaker 2: And she's like, I wish Miles would wear something other
Speaker 2: than a T shirt. That's right, what my mom would say.
Speaker 2: He always likes T shirt. Man, I love T shirt. Mom.
Speaker 2: What can I do?
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Exon though. Yeah, I believe they were
Speaker 1: were they the ones the first to find out about
Speaker 1: climate change back in the eighties. They were among you
Speaker 1: may have been at.
Speaker 2: The forefront of that. Yeah, absolutely, But they're currently right
Speaker 2: now they're busy suing a group of activist investor groups
Speaker 2: are Juna Capital and follow This for attempting a hostile takeover. Wait, no,
Speaker 2: I need to actually no, they're suing them in court
Speaker 2: to prevent them from even proposing to other shareholders whether
Speaker 2: or not the oil and gas giant could like do
Speaker 2: a little more to curb greenhouse gas emissions. So this
Speaker 2: spring the company will have like a round of proxy
Speaker 2: voting where shareholders can weigh in on company operations. And
Speaker 2: this specific proposal that is being forwarded by these activists
Speaker 2: investor groups, they're just basically saying, first of all, this
Speaker 2: thing is non binding. It's a non binding resolution, and
Speaker 2: they're just they're just being like, man, maybe take a
Speaker 2: look at like the like what like what the emissions
Speaker 2: are in terms of when the products are burned and
Speaker 2: also like how the products are cultivated and extracted. Maybe
Speaker 2: you look at how you can cut back on that
Speaker 2: and maybe do that in a little bit more of
Speaker 2: a slightly aggressive pace. But the thing about it is
Speaker 2: it's non binding and also barely has a chance of
Speaker 2: being passed. Like the last time these groups got a
Speaker 2: proposal like this and it was rejected by nearly ninety
Speaker 2: percent of the fucking shareholders. So this is what makes
Speaker 2: this story interesting. Is normally, right, a company can go
Speaker 2: to the SEC and have a proposal like this removed
Speaker 2: through like a special request. But apparently the Biden administration
Speaker 2: has been less accommodating to CEOs who try this kind
Speaker 2: of thing. And so basically, what is an earth fucking
Speaker 2: company to do. That's right, go to the courts that
Speaker 2: are pretty much bought. So they are filing a loss
Speaker 2: suit in the U in US District Court in the
Speaker 2: Northern District of Texas, which is famously being manned by
Speaker 2: two Trump appointees, one who is doing the whole MEFI
Speaker 2: press Stone thing that is basically going to make its
Speaker 2: way to the Supreme Court eventually, and the other who
Speaker 2: is the person that blocked the White House's student debt
Speaker 2: relief plan. So there they got lucky enough to get
Speaker 2: that judge, Judge Mark Pittman, who's also a huge Federalist
Speaker 2: society creep. Yeah, the same federalist society that receives.
Speaker 3: Funding from Exxon my Gon.
Speaker 2: So all of this because they can't stand that a
Speaker 2: group would be just so audacious to even ask for,
Speaker 2: you know, increased consideration about the state of the earth
Speaker 2: that they're just destroying in real time. So it's just
Speaker 2: a really wild thing where everyone's like, damn, like you
Speaker 2: just really just just go straight to the court, like
Speaker 2: you don't even want to bother with the SEC for
Speaker 2: something that isn't even a like again, it's a non
Speaker 2: binding resolution. They don't have to do shit. They can
Speaker 2: be like, okay, we heard you on that one, but
Speaker 2: we're not doing it. I think probably because their whole
Speaker 2: argument is like, they're trying to destroy our business and
Speaker 2: the way we do everything.
Speaker 4: So no, right, if we investigated in this, to say
Speaker 4: nothing of if we disclose this to our shareholders, it
Speaker 4: could cost us profit, so therefore it's illegal. I don't
Speaker 4: fucking think so. I mean, yeah, with this, I guess
Speaker 4: with this judge, yes, but right. But from an objective perspective,
Speaker 4: it makes sense that if the person is investing in
Speaker 4: your company, they should have more transparency, they should understand
Speaker 4: and there should be basic investigation into yeah, the impact
Speaker 4: of fucking yeah fossil fuel emissions.
Speaker 2: Well, we did that a couple decades ago, and it
Speaker 2: freaked us out because it said it we were fucking
Speaker 2: up so bad, so we just decided to be like
Speaker 2: shut the fuck up, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we buried it like a bone in the yach but.
Speaker 1: Never to dig trust us. We got this, yeah right, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, they are the energy companies are going to
Speaker 1: fight and claw for every last decision. I mean they're
Speaker 1: so far out in front of this just trying to
Speaker 1: make fight when win battles that will make it so
Speaker 1: that it never even like crosses your you know, attention.
Speaker 1: Like it's just this is so early on in the
Speaker 1: process of like before a non binding resolution on their
Speaker 1: board even like comes up like raising the possibility, they're like, actually,
Speaker 1: we're gonna sue you and ruin your family's fucking lives
Speaker 1: if you even bring that a fuck Like it's it
Speaker 1: really is going to take an all out war on
Speaker 1: these people to agreed turn out.
Speaker 4: Yet, Yeah, I mean yeah, that like that's what Bill
Speaker 4: mcckibbon always says, right like that we have to treat
Speaker 4: fossil fuel companies like the enemy, Like we have to
Speaker 4: treat them because they treat us and life on the
Speaker 4: planet as enemies and they treat the earth as expendable
Speaker 4: and it also shows I mean, look, I think it's
Speaker 4: really nice that, you know, some people really focus on
Speaker 4: corporate boards just the way that folks focus on statewide legislatures.
Speaker 4: Perfect example of another place where we're like, all right,
Speaker 4: we're going to do you know, small de democracy at
Speaker 4: the state wide level. But if your corporate board or
Speaker 4: your state wide legislature is run by a bunch of
Speaker 4: powerful right wing goons and you do something democratic or
Speaker 4: you try to make those attempts.
Speaker 3: They will override you.
Speaker 4: They will, you know, and again I don't want to
Speaker 4: make it's not a one to one, but they'll override
Speaker 4: the will of the people when it comes to you know,
Speaker 4: any kind of like ballot measures that get passed that
Speaker 4: state legislators don't like. And the same with the shareholders.
Speaker 4: So it's like, truly there is a role for government
Speaker 4: to play when it comes to climate change. It's the
Speaker 4: only thing that is going to work is real regulation
Speaker 4: and come on withdrawing the amount of subsidies that we
Speaker 4: give them. Meanwhile, you know, this is like what we've
Speaker 4: never been extracting more oil than right now in like
Speaker 4: recent memory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, wait, I thought we didn't we
Speaker 2: hit peak oil yet no, no.
Speaker 4: I love whendn't we discovered that we were never gonna
Speaker 4: like that we were gonna die before we hit peak
Speaker 4: oil because like it's fifteen years ago. It was like, well,
Speaker 4: so it's all gonna be fine because there'll be peak
Speaker 4: oil and it just won't work anymore.
Speaker 2: And the energy peak oil did, I don't even fucking know,
Speaker 2: brohit keeps.
Speaker 4: Going like they're more like then then they discovered natural
Speaker 4: gas and it was like yeah, no, and it's even
Speaker 4: worse for h the whatever the college.
Speaker 2: Let's call it CNG. You know that sounds a little
Speaker 2: more fancy than just saying out loud compressed natural gas.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, it's more of a greenhouse gas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, CNNG powered car, YEAHNG powered bus.
Speaker 1: All right, So moving on, there's been this, uh like,
Speaker 1: one of the main statistics that is getting widely reported
Speaker 1: is the death toll in Gaza. But then there's been
Speaker 1: this steady pushback from Israel and from the Biden administration
Speaker 1: basically saying that the number of dead and Gaza is
Speaker 1: coming just from the Hamas run Gaza health ministry, and
Speaker 1: so can you really trust those numbers? We sure don't.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, we actually do it turns out the UH
Speaker 1: Israeli intelligence officials have confirmed that their government uses those numbers,
Speaker 1: the numbers that they've been like themselves saying yeah, they
Speaker 1: themselves are like, we have been using those numbers ourselves
Speaker 1: in our intelligence briefings and have determined them to be credible.
Speaker 1: So when you hear from the Gaza Health ministry that
Speaker 1: you know, thousands of people are being killed, the Israeli
Speaker 1: intelligence officials have determined those numbers to be accurate, despite
Speaker 1: what they want you to believe.
Speaker 2: So when you say we just crossed the twenty five
Speaker 2: thousand death threshold, that that's they now they're even like
Speaker 2: that maybe that's credible. But well, like Press Secretary Karine
Speaker 2: Jean Pierre would say earlier, be like, well, I mean
Speaker 2: anything out of Hamas, like you just honestly it should
Speaker 2: just be treated with skepticism, even though like you guys
Speaker 2: are seeing actual footage of the decimation and I know
Speaker 2: it just looks like concrete buildings and stuff and rubble,
Speaker 2: but there are people, I guess there's people in there.
Speaker 2: And now we're just coming around to the fact that
Speaker 2: it's like so it's such an embarrassment again, like just
Speaker 2: with having to even be an American and look at
Speaker 2: this and have people being like officially like, guys, guys, guys,
Speaker 2: it's not that bad. Tens of thousands of people are
Speaker 2: not dying. What they're saying is a lot. Okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's okay. It might be, it might be.
Speaker 4: This is I mean, that's exactly you put your finger
Speaker 4: on it, because it's all about perception, and it's about
Speaker 4: American voices and American leaders and Joe Biden, and often
Speaker 4: what happens, what gets admitted by the IDF, what gets
Speaker 4: admitted by Israeli officials in private is never openly said.
Speaker 3: And when they speak in.
Speaker 4: English and they do their pressers and they give their
Speaker 4: talking points to Joe Biden, it is no, you cannot
Speaker 4: rely on these figures because it's a Hammas run. You know,
Speaker 4: Health ministry slash the only people who are allowed in
Speaker 4: there to help anyone. And oh, by the way, there's
Speaker 4: no functioning hospitals anymore in Gaza, so the point is.
Speaker 1: Also allowed in there. They're still killed by the Israeli
Speaker 1: military too.
Speaker 3: No, exactly, if you want an independent I mean, so
Speaker 3: there's twofold. It's one. The propaganda is such that they're
Speaker 3: gonna still say Hamas run health ministry, yeah, number one,
Speaker 3: but privately they.
Speaker 4: Will admit and know that. Yeah, the numbers are twenty
Speaker 4: five thousand, if not more. However, many thousands are buried
Speaker 4: under rubble. But yeah, it's the other part of that is,
Speaker 4: well you could let in international observers. It's just like
Speaker 4: you could let in international journalist. Oh you don't want
Speaker 4: to or you don't want to protect them, or you're
Speaker 4: gonna kill them, all right, fine, well that's a whole
Speaker 4: another thing.
Speaker 2: Right right, And we even just saw too, like how
Speaker 2: people were blocking aid trucks from even entering. Also, like
Speaker 2: it's it's such a disgraceful situation and like every time,
Speaker 2: like I just think about it, it just it's just
Speaker 2: like so I don't know, it just it makes you
Speaker 2: feel like you're in some kind of parallel Twilight Zone universe,
Speaker 2: where like there's clearly groups of people who are so
Speaker 2: deeply affected by just witnessing what is happening, and others
Speaker 2: who are doing bending their minds into pretzel shapes to
Speaker 2: act like this is justified or okay, or just treat
Speaker 2: people they're like, oh, those people are brainwashed if they
Speaker 2: think what's happening is a genocide, without even considering the
Speaker 2: fact that there are many people who understand the tension
Speaker 2: of like the Imperial West and what oppression looks like
Speaker 2: and what liberation looks like, and maybe those people see
Speaker 2: some dimension of what is happening there and say that
Speaker 2: is very similar to something I have experienced, or my
Speaker 2: family has experienced, or the diaspora come from has experienced,
Speaker 2: and not taking any of that into consideration, it's just
Speaker 2: so easily dismissed as it's fucking TikTok. It's this, it's that,
Speaker 2: it's let's let's help conflate anti Zionism with anti Semitism,
Speaker 2: or or people who are speaking critically of the Israeli
Speaker 2: government with whole sale criticisms of the entire religion. And yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just and to see how that is just, you know,
Speaker 2: seems seemingly gaining more and more momentum. It's it's exhausting.
Speaker 2: And yeah, but now Joe Biden is fully trying to
Speaker 2: ignore that now and he's just running on Row and
Speaker 2: that's all he's gonna. I think that's like the main
Speaker 2: dinner bell he wants to ring going into November. Hey,
Speaker 2: Row row Row despite it all, well that we're speaking
Speaker 2: out at that last rally he.
Speaker 4: Had exactly and like, what's the plan for Roe anyway?
Speaker 4: And it's it's yeah, I mean the election aside. What's
Speaker 4: crazy about As we find out, you know, more and
Speaker 4: more of the talking points are just that, they're just lies.
Speaker 4: When it comes to this assault on Gaza. We don't
Speaker 4: attack hospitals, Oh but you literally systemically targeted them and
Speaker 4: now none of them exist anymore. Well, we don't target civilians,
Speaker 4: so we don't to all this. Oh well, the numbers
Speaker 4: are lies. The goalpost keeps moving because the next line
Speaker 4: of okay, so twenty five thousands of Villa I've been
Speaker 4: killed and seven thousand are under rebel, so like that's
Speaker 4: literally the next line is so.
Speaker 2: It was or it's some version of it's war. You know,
Speaker 2: it's war. And that's that's just that's just a shame,
Speaker 2: you know that. But that's just the reality.
Speaker 4: No, I'm sorry, Like to call this a war is
Speaker 4: so fucking funny, Like it is like this is some
Speaker 4: coward ass shit.
Speaker 3: This is not a war.
Speaker 4: And even if it were, so let's just go with
Speaker 4: the idea and this is the last I'll say about it.
Speaker 4: Let's go with the idea that it is a war.
Speaker 4: You have to abide by the rules of engagement in
Speaker 4: war was and there are laws around. So it actually
Speaker 4: benefits Israel to say no, no, no, it's not a war. Ergo,
Speaker 4: I get to kill as many civilians and doctors and
Speaker 4: journalists and you know, babies and incubators as I fucking
Speaker 4: want to.
Speaker 3: Why, because it's not a war, it's a genocide.
Speaker 4: It actually helps them to say that if they admit
Speaker 4: that it's a war, they say that it's a war,
Speaker 4: well then you actually have to abide by the rules
Speaker 4: of not killing those people.
Speaker 3: So it's the they.
Speaker 4: Constantly move the goalpost on us. And again it's all
Speaker 4: just a justification, which yeah, man, after.
Speaker 2: This, I don't know what.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's next, And the thing is after
Speaker 4: it's like it's when is after.
Speaker 2: Right, And it's just disheartening too to see people who
Speaker 2: have been so sheltered in their lives and know nothing
Speaker 2: of what it could mean to be completely disenfranchised, that
Speaker 2: they have absolutely no ability to like empathize or understand that, like,
Speaker 2: you know, you could you could just as easily be
Speaker 2: in a situation where you might need the help. Well
Speaker 2: maybe not, because you're looking at it from your own
Speaker 2: very specific worldview where you're like, I live in America
Speaker 2: where that shit will never happen and I'll never need help,
Speaker 2: and like people who need that's just not me and
Speaker 2: I will never be needy and I will never need anything.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, when there's a blackout for like two hours, you're like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, how do I charge my phone?
Speaker 3: Like motherfuckers have no idea how to live.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Like women are using tent scraps as period like
Speaker 4: pads in gaza, Like they're getting c sections without anesthesia.
Speaker 3: That means death.
Speaker 4: Like literally, as someone who went through trialbirth and thought
Speaker 4: I was gonna throw myself out the window and just
Speaker 4: shouted your Karis and waited for a dragon to light
Speaker 4: me up, Like.
Speaker 3: That is death.
Speaker 4: That is just straight up you cannot survive that kind
Speaker 4: of surgery without anesthesia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's just like it makes it very like
Speaker 2: whatever then whatever the next you know, global horror event
Speaker 2: is going to be like the way people are going
Speaker 2: to insulate themselves psychologically. It just it just freaks me out,
Speaker 2: like how we're completely wanting to be like like what
Speaker 2: like we're trying to fucking play like we have some
Speaker 2: sort of like amorphous definition of what humanity is and
Speaker 2: what someone deserves as a human being. And that is
Speaker 2: really one of the most unnerving parts about all of
Speaker 2: this is just to see how quickly people can like,
Speaker 2: like to your point, change like move the goalposts, or
Speaker 2: just merely change the definition of someone who deserves or
Speaker 2: doesn't deserve to die.
Speaker 1: Right Yikes, Yeah, just trying to blanket all out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's possible. All right, let's uh, let's take another quick
Speaker 1: break and.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're back, and Nancy Mace is back
Speaker 1: in my mind for the first time since a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago. I just found out about her not a
Speaker 1: hugely engaged with the day to day happenings of the
Speaker 1: House representatives, but.
Speaker 2: Leave that to the former wonky people like me who
Speaker 2: are just like what what what? Because again, a few
Speaker 2: weeks ago, we talked about Representative Nancy Mace, the South
Speaker 2: Carolina Republican, and her just her desire for constant attention.
Speaker 2: She will literally do anything for attention, from contradicting herself
Speaker 2: constantly flip flopping to get on TV or giving her staffers.
Speaker 2: The actual mandate to be like, y'all need to book
Speaker 2: me for at least fifteen appearances on the television per week.
Speaker 2: And that's order. Yeah, yeah, at least at least.
Speaker 3: James Marville come on now, yeah, I.
Speaker 9: Mean, come on appearance podcast. It's not a podcast where
Speaker 9: you talking about secondary syphilis. You know what I mean,
Speaker 9: that's what happened. That's what Nancy Mason need to do.
Speaker 9: And get down there and uh and to get with
Speaker 9: the alligate.
Speaker 1: That old boy got the clap. Clap got the clap,
Speaker 1: which is funny because he got it.
Speaker 2: On his hands and then we choose hands for clapping,
Speaker 2: so that's double clap, that's clap squared. But anyway, most
Speaker 2: recently we're talking about her because she was when Hunter
Speaker 2: Biden showed up to like an oversight hearing, she had
Speaker 2: a meltdown and then said he had like no balls
Speaker 2: because he was doing white privilege or some shit. I
Speaker 2: forget it was.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was playing melt down of white privilege, Hunter
Speaker 10: Biden and you have no balls, and it was really
Speaker 10: hilarious and she got on TV. But now we've just
Speaker 10: found out there's new reporting that when she was a
Speaker 10: freshman okay. On January sixth, she had the ultimate plan
Speaker 10: to get on TV and send her stock rising as
Speaker 10: a then aspiring anti Trumper.
Speaker 2: She look, let's I'll just read this. The Washington Post
Speaker 2: reports that Mace was so incensed at then President Donald
Speaker 2: Trump that she brought up the idea of approaching rioter's
Speaker 2: head on in the in the Capitol in the hopes
Speaker 2: she would get punched in the face and become quote,
Speaker 2: the face of anti Trump Republicans. She explicitly told him
Speaker 2: them the multiple people gave quotes that she wanted to
Speaker 2: quote get punched in the face for quote media attention.
Speaker 3: Do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, do it?
Speaker 4: This is like, this is like Mike Pens being like,
Speaker 4: I mean if I just gave him a little bit
Speaker 4: of my neck to hang me like a bit.
Speaker 3: But then I was like, you.
Speaker 4: Know, after that much, get okay, you had your phone,
Speaker 4: I'm on TV right like that.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 4: They don't hate this, you know, because at least it
Speaker 4: seems like she's willing to, you know, stick her neck
Speaker 4: out there, although I guess she wasn't being called to
Speaker 4: be hung but U face out there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like she why not?
Speaker 4: I mean, you saw Josh Holly run away it seems
Speaker 4: like Nancy Mace was like, no, let's go, and also
Speaker 4: to be like the face of the anti Trump Republican
Speaker 4: even though what would have been So what's so funny
Speaker 4: about this story is if she had gotten hit, which
Speaker 4: immediately everyone would have made fun of her.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if she'd gotten unless she was like killed, right,
Speaker 4: they'd be like, okay, slow, you're old. But if she
Speaker 4: got like slapped or punched, Maga would love it. They
Speaker 4: would think it was hilarious. And then she would kiss
Speaker 4: the ring. Like three years later, she'd fucking kiss the
Speaker 4: ring like she is now saying like Donald Trump's got
Speaker 4: to be the nominee. All good, even though she don't
Speaker 4: decried January sixth, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Now she's like, and you know, I'm about my girl
Speaker 2: and Nikki Hayley because we're Paul Metto gang out here,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. It's cack all day. Oh
Speaker 2: actually no, I'm with Donald Trump and I believe that
Speaker 2: he is truly the mindhead and god figure of this party.
Speaker 2: But I like, to your point, this shows how down
Speaker 2: she is. Like when you're thirst, is that extreme that
Speaker 2: you're like, yeah, yeah, yo, yeah, let me get duffed out,
Speaker 2: like that'll help she I'm ready did eat that.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of opportunity. I mean, like you, like you
Speaker 1: mentioned with Josh Holly, Like I mean he was running
Speaker 1: for what he thought was his life. You know, he
Speaker 1: was scared. A lot of the people are scared. It
Speaker 1: seems like she would have had the opportunity to follow
Speaker 1: through on this plan. They but they were begging her
Speaker 1: to not Who was her staffers. They're like they're like, no, girl,
Speaker 1: that's They're like, that could be like some hold me
Speaker 1: back shit.
Speaker 2: You think I'm sure for those staffords, They're like they're like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, Like okay, I'm just like thinking.
Speaker 1: About how she seemed like in the Hunter Biden thing,
Speaker 1: like you it was you know, very clearly like planned, choreographed,
Speaker 1: but she was like you don't have ball, Like she
Speaker 1: just seemed like a little oh no, she doesn't seem
Speaker 1: fully about it.
Speaker 4: In the moment she would have run away and left
Speaker 4: her staff to get hit for her, but been like
Speaker 4: I got hit, slash, my staff got hit right. And
Speaker 4: I think it was a massive misread. And I think her
Speaker 4: staff clearly understood this, like these rules didn't come in
Speaker 4: through the entrance. They didn't go through the metal detectors, Like, yes,
Speaker 4: they came in through the window, and they were most
Speaker 4: definitely armed. So yeah, you want to just get hit
Speaker 4: and slap for a viral moment.
Speaker 2: No, like they I'm sorry, Nancy. They would have been
Speaker 2: like who is you? Like we are like, Nancy, you're
Speaker 2: not in cont the fuck out my face, lady, I'm
Speaker 2: saying stop as an anti trumper, They're like, what are man?
Speaker 2: Just leave this This lady is distressed. Leave her alone.
Speaker 2: We're Nancy Pelosi's office, you know what I mean. That's
Speaker 2: which probably would have hurt her ego even more so,
Speaker 2: who knows what would have actually happened. But again, it's
Speaker 2: just like it just under underlines just the sad state
Speaker 2: of like Congress. You know, it's like we're we barely
Speaker 2: have like maybe three people who understand governance or legislation anymore,
Speaker 2: and now we just have all these like wanna be
Speaker 2: fucking influencers who are like yo, dude, DC has like
Speaker 2: the best content.
Speaker 1: Feels like influencer shit at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like especially that kind of shit. We're like, yo,
Speaker 2: if I get punched.
Speaker 1: Frank video shit exactly exactly social.
Speaker 4: So sad, and yet it is the last place in
Speaker 4: the country where you can still hold a job and
Speaker 4: be like a sexual predator or a thief or yeah,
Speaker 4: like with.
Speaker 2: Foreign governments and getting bars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you like, you can't work at a vans if
Speaker 4: you have any of those hanging out. You can't be
Speaker 4: a war criminal to Vonds.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, depends on I think in northern Virginia
Speaker 2: there's a couple.
Speaker 4: Of specifically they actually only hire war criminals former war criminals.
Speaker 3: It's pretty woke.
Speaker 2: It's the Langley to Kroger pipeline that they have. Yeah.
Speaker 2: For certain people, it's like, oh, you ran a black
Speaker 2: ops site. Okay, let's uh, well, how are you with
Speaker 2: a stocking Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk. Let's check in with this. There's
Speaker 1: a new trend of you know, the AP has a
Speaker 1: segment section of their website that's like stories that didn't
Speaker 1: happen this week. Reuters has like a debunking section. So
Speaker 1: we're just gonna do a little smattering of the fake
Speaker 1: news from the week, and these will these will be
Speaker 1: like different genres. Some of them will be like yeah,
Speaker 1: you probably heard about this, and like this first one
Speaker 1: is just a series of pictures of Tom Hanks, Like
Speaker 1: in one case he's wearing an anti Trump T shirt,
Speaker 1: in another case he's wearing a pro Trump T shirt.
Speaker 1: These are apparently going viral. This is not one where
Speaker 1: I'm like, i feel like we need to debunk this
Speaker 1: because I'm worried people believe it. I think it can do.
Speaker 1: You know this is gonna do damage. I'm more like,
Speaker 1: find it interesting that we are desperate for Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: to be like wearing political slogans on his T shirt,
Speaker 1: Like why do we need him to weigh in on
Speaker 1: this via T shirt? It's just very specific.
Speaker 2: Well because like the first image where he was wearing
Speaker 2: like a nope not again with like it's like the
Speaker 2: O on the word nope has like the Donald Trump
Speaker 2: cloth with a red tie sort of thing, and you
Speaker 2: have like right wingers being like if you ever needed
Speaker 2: another reason to vote for Donald Trump in New Hampshire today,
Speaker 2: here it is, and it's Tom Hanks. Because I think
Speaker 2: for them, they look at him as like the fucking
Speaker 2: like proto lib you know what I mean, Like he
Speaker 2: is like he represents like this Hollywood thing where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe he's not controversial, but this is like, this is
Speaker 2: the kind of people that we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants approval from dead.
Speaker 4: I know I was gonna say, like it really is
Speaker 4: like daddy issues. This is like it's like Tom Hanks
Speaker 4: imagine thinking he was some kind of evil pedophile gremlin dude,
Speaker 4: Like he's just he just looks like he would hug
Speaker 4: you and tell you he was proud of you.
Speaker 3: I'llah, Joe Biden to Hunter.
Speaker 4: Like, which is the worst thing they could possibly imagine,
Speaker 4: is like a supportive father, righteah?
Speaker 3: Like that?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Also the T shirt connection from Forrest Gump. Remember how
Speaker 1: Forrest Gump was always inventing T shirts A nice day,
Speaker 1: like shit happens, have a nice day. So maybe there's
Speaker 1: something there, because it does seem like there's multiple So
Speaker 1: most of these T shirts are actually from T shirt
Speaker 1: like making companies. Most most of these like viral fake
Speaker 1: pictures are from T shirt companies that are trying to
Speaker 1: sell these T shirts.
Speaker 3: Is it Temo?
Speaker 1: I think it's a bunch of different ones.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, Timo is my favorite.
Speaker 1: Keep America trumpet. I mean the shirts kind of suck.
Speaker 1: I will say, So there's keep America trump list and
Speaker 1: then there's vote for more like that, so some people
Speaker 1: or trying to make it seem like he is pro Trump,
Speaker 1: Like it's all different versions of Tom Hanks wearing political
Speaker 1: t shirt and the slogans like very based on like
Speaker 1: whether he likes Trump or not. But yeah, and like
Speaker 1: there's also like a Taylor Swift one, but Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: for some reason is like the choice of people who
Speaker 1: want to sell their political T shirt.
Speaker 2: Yes, Tom Hanks is too rich to be wearing a
Speaker 2: graphic tea exactly. That's just how that shit goes. And
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. The only T shirt I would believe him
Speaker 2: wearing is like someone that said like Boombo clot or
Speaker 2: something that his son was in Jamaica.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he would just support his son's T shirt business
Speaker 4: and just like wear that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I vote for no bombat Trump No.
Speaker 2: And you're like, oh, okay, well maybe maybe that is
Speaker 2: what that's Colin's new hustle or something.
Speaker 1: The big one I did see in headlines was disease X,
Speaker 1: and it did seem like the headlines were misleading along
Speaker 1: around this, So yeah, you could have been led to
Speaker 1: believe that there is a new illness called disease X.
Speaker 1: That's twenty more times deadly than twenty times more deadly
Speaker 1: than COVID, and that it's being discussed in Davos right now.
Speaker 1: So disease X was being discussed in Davos. It is
Speaker 1: just a word that they're using for a hypothetical pathogen
Speaker 1: that is like helped us to help plan for future
Speaker 1: health crises. It's not a real disease.
Speaker 3: And by plan for, they mean make money.
Speaker 4: Off of Yeah, and yet some of the I mean,
Speaker 4: this is what's fucked about, Like our for profit healthcare
Speaker 4: system and pharmaceutical system is like like I don't trust
Speaker 4: the people at Davos to talk about like pandemic preparedness
Speaker 4: at all, right, you do trust them to be like, well,
Speaker 4: how can we actually like turn this into a profit
Speaker 4: for us? You know, are we selling space on our
Speaker 4: little floating island or bunkers? Are we going bunker yet
Speaker 4: or because I got bunker? Or are we just making
Speaker 4: money off of any and you know, breakthrough scientific breakthroughs.
Speaker 4: And I'm just so upsetting because you know, disease X
Speaker 4: is like, oh, they're all the doubles, all the elites
Speaker 4: are talking about how to get another vaccine into us,
Speaker 4: and all that shit.
Speaker 2: And it's like it's like, no, you're almost close. All
Speaker 2: these rich motherfuckers are there, but they're figuring out how
Speaker 2: do we make get our coins exactly the next one.
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with like hurting you or
Speaker 2: hurt in your pockets, but they're not interested in that.
Speaker 2: They're like, yo, when that shit hits again, and this
Speaker 2: one goes harder than fucking COVID, what are how do
Speaker 2: we get our shit together so we can man, Like,
Speaker 2: you can't just be bezos and fucking must getting all
Speaker 2: these fucking coins, like we need all them too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those people billionaires did make a shitload of money
Speaker 1: during COVID and off of COVID, but.
Speaker 4: I mean they made the money from the United States government.
Speaker 4: They got in on those fucking loans that I'm still
Speaker 4: mad about, Like I'm still mad that my podcast didn't
Speaker 4: get alone, Like I'm mad that, like I don't First
Speaker 4: of all, I got it incorporate obviously number one. Any
Speaker 4: idiot knows you gotta have an LLC, and I guess
Speaker 4: I'm an idiot. But it's like everyone got some of
Speaker 4: that money, everyone got some of the loans and didn't
Speaker 4: have to pay them back.
Speaker 3: Choe Kardashian.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean she was hurting.
Speaker 1: So, I mean just to like, some of the headlines
Speaker 1: that talking about disease X are pretty misleading. Like the
Speaker 1: Hill had the headline world Health leaders worn of pandemic
Speaker 1: twenty times worse than COVID, Like shit, what that's reckless.
Speaker 3: That's a little reckless.
Speaker 1: Disease X will be twenty times deadlier than COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: countries of potential pandemic. That's the Health site. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know it's.
Speaker 3: But it's so much because what's the new COVID string called.
Speaker 4: It's got like a mill it's like xc wow all
Speaker 4: that like they're all weird common like you know whatever,
Speaker 4: bad password combinations, auto generated passwords. So like what you
Speaker 4: see disease X, you think it's an actual thing, right right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they need to clarify.
Speaker 2: Just for all y'all. It's JN dot one, which is
Speaker 2: now the dominant strain in the United States. Sixty percent
Speaker 2: of cases are now James.
Speaker 1: That could just as easily be variable, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they put jan dot one.
Speaker 2: JN one sounds like like a white dude's like rapper
Speaker 2: MC name in like college, you know, what I mean
Speaker 2: and one, Yo, Yeah, dude, don't call me Jason Norris bro,
Speaker 2: call me JN one Bro. Jason Norris is done bang
Speaker 2: the same way. I don't really go by Jason anymore.
Speaker 2: That's so weird that you keep calling me that. Yo.
Speaker 2: It's either jan one or j N one?
Speaker 1: Why one?
Speaker 2: Because I'm the first of my name, even though I
Speaker 2: am Jason Norris Junior. But I fucking hate my dad
Speaker 2: who's paying for my tuition. And that's how I rebel.
Speaker 2: That's why I also got these dreads that are very dry,
Speaker 2: very melling shit. Yeah, I don't know how to do them,
Speaker 2: to be honest, and I knew, like Loki, I felt
Speaker 2: bad having this kind of black hair style, but I
Speaker 2: and so I didn't want to ask them, so I
Speaker 2: just kind of rolled it up with some sand and ship.
Speaker 3: Are you black?
Speaker 2: I mean, Jason Jose Norris. No, but jay N one
Speaker 2: does have two thirds black friends, and he is aspirationally
Speaker 2: black with his.
Speaker 1: Two thirds. And I do keep a detailed spreadsheet of
Speaker 1: the racial makeup of my friends at all times, so
Speaker 1: I just know my percentages. So I put them back
Speaker 1: to anybody pointing out that I'm being racist exactly. Actually,
Speaker 1: let me have you, let me point your attention with
Speaker 1: a six heuth spreadsheet.
Speaker 2: Real quick, look at my peacm pie chart of my
Speaker 2: black friends, Like, why did you have to go that far?

Speaker 1: you've been enjoying by any chance?
Speaker 4: So this is from gen z White House kind of
Speaker 4: like a lefty Instagram account that has a very non
Speaker 4: PC quote from Bogwan Reginiche from Wild Wild Country the
Speaker 4: Guru and that who who.
Speaker 3: Is saying this about democracy?
Speaker 4: While simultaneously there's an exit poll from you gov that
Speaker 4: shows that eighty two percent of Republicans have a favorable
Speaker 4: view of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: Eighty two percent.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's Bogwan.
Speaker 11: Because democracy basically means government by the people, off the people,
Speaker 11: far the people. But the people are retarded.
Speaker 2: Fucking bug.
Speaker 3: It's truly the most bug one ass like quote.
Speaker 1: It makes so much sense at the end of that
Speaker 1: dog series when they're like, oh yeah, he was on
