Speaker 1: So true of all time? It is, stay true, Stay true.
Speaker 1: You know I quote it like three times a day.
Speaker 1: What are your quotes? What do you go to We're

Speaker 1: Tom Ryman from from Cracked and now start the machine
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He got me quoting what guy in the
Speaker 1: background too. He's like, it's a tiger shark I think.
Speaker 1: I think is the part in the guy in the
Speaker 1: background comes through and what there's like just some great
Speaker 1: a dr and background performer performances. I've seen it so
Speaker 1: many times. I know exactly the SoundBite that you're talking about.
Speaker 1: It's like right before Steven Spielberg walks through the film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right right around there. That film is about intersectional feminism,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's what today's episode is about. Why
Speaker 1: Jaws is is about intersexual feminism, Why Matt Gates is
Speaker 1: in cahoots with Epstein Lawyers. Oh that's right, that's what
Speaker 1: this is about. All right, Sorry, we're gonna get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit better in the mom First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things. This
Speaker 1: episode is really about. We're gonna we're gonna just take
Speaker 1: sit back, observe survey just what the people in Trump world,
Speaker 1: how they're acting, because that's kind of our best indicator
Speaker 1: as to what they got what what where? Where they're
Speaker 1: at nervous? Are they? Yeah? They seem nervous. Donald Trump Junior.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would say it seems nervous.
Speaker 1: He seems smacked, he seems off of his axle. He's fine,
Speaker 1: he's fine. He's the first human to take flight without
Speaker 1: any kind of engine at all. And you'll see why
Speaker 1: or hear why. We're gonna talk about some implications of
Speaker 1: like there's a so there's a New York Times piece
Speaker 1: that was just like, what was he doing with those
Speaker 1: documents anyways? By Mark Maggie Habrman that just like plays
Speaker 1: the whole thing like a like a King Ralph like
Speaker 1: type of thing, where Trump is just like a a
Speaker 1: dang loon who just like doesn't doesn't like all the
Speaker 1: stiff collared regulations, and it doesn't mention like any of
Speaker 1: doesn't mention Saudi Arabia once. So I want to mention
Speaker 1: Saudio Arabia once, maybe twice with regards to what he
Speaker 1: might have been doing with nuclear secrets. We're going to
Speaker 1: check the Biden presidency against the vampire zombie meter. Supposedly,
Speaker 1: when there's a democratic president, you get more vampires, you
Speaker 1: get more vamps. And there's the Netflix charts have a
Speaker 1: new vampire movie at the top, day Shift, which I've
Speaker 1: seen enough clips and bloopers of that to feel like
Speaker 1: I've seen the film. But the violence looks good. It's fabulous, amazing,
Speaker 1: all right, I can't wait to see that. So that's that.
Speaker 1: That's in keeping with the theory. Will explain the theory
Speaker 1: a little bit, all of that plenty more. But first,
Speaker 1: are we like to ask our guest what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history? Okay, so I learned that pus
Speaker 1: you know the ouze? Oh yeah, yeah, that comes out
Speaker 1: whenever you're doing something gross of a wound. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: like bursting it. Oh you you pimple popper popper over here.
Speaker 1: I'm not admitting that anything. It sounds okay, okay, the
Speaker 1: language you're using, my honor, I'm some ingrained shame in there,
Speaker 1: like when you're doing and like dark and you know
Speaker 1: that I don't experience shame. I inflicted there you go. There,
Speaker 1: you're like, look at this disgusting white head. I gotta
Speaker 1: pop on your back. Look at you, you nest. I
Speaker 1: don't know how anybody loves you over here? Over here?
Speaker 1: How did you get that SoundBite from my bedroom. Because
Speaker 1: I live in the exact same reality. People are learning
Speaker 1: a lot. Oh yeah, I feel like so many people.
Speaker 1: I had this. Okay, go on with your thing, but
Speaker 1: I think we're taking about something. Okay, I had to
Speaker 1: look up. I didn't know pus. It's one s. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that does make sense. I didn't realize I didn't know
Speaker 1: how to spell it until a Google doc told me
Speaker 1: you don't know how to spell this. So you're going
Speaker 1: around texting people about puss pussy, yeah, puss in boots? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's talking about us? Oh my god, No, wonder why
Speaker 1: it's so hard for me to make pus. Wait, when
Speaker 1: did you when did you come across your your your
Speaker 1: fatal error of misspelling puss. I was about to correct
Speaker 1: a student in one of my comedy workshops. I was
Speaker 1: about to just like fix their typo and add an
Speaker 1: S and Google was like, no, you're the idiot. Idiot. Yeah, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we got real Antonio Bandera's fan over here. Well, Puss
Speaker 1: in boots push, yeah, popping the puss in boots? Are
Speaker 1: you a big pimple popper? Though? That's my next thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm a big picker, big picker. Okay, I can't leave
Speaker 1: things alone. I can't. I just like, why why why
Speaker 1: why then? Like scabs, yeah, pimples, yeah, like cuticles. I can't.
Speaker 1: I just can't leave it alone. An American picker. I
Speaker 1: see someone at my door. I gotta I'm only one home,
Speaker 1: so give me one second. Apologize. Thought for a second.
Speaker 1: We did it. It was too we police. But Dr
Speaker 1: pimple Popper grosses me out, man, I should pause. It's
Speaker 1: so gross. It grows you out. It grosses me out.
Speaker 1: That's so funny, right, because her Majesty, my partner and
Speaker 1: my wife. She's she'll be like, oh, you got ingrown
Speaker 1: hair on the back of your head, bring your bring
Speaker 1: your scalp over here, and then be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a good one. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll
Speaker 1: watched I'll watch Dr pimple Popper. Man, I'm old school.
Speaker 1: I was on Reddit on our popping Okay, that's the
Speaker 1: one of the oldest popping communities out there. For the
Speaker 1: life of her, She's like, I can't with this ship
Speaker 1: is disgusting. She's like, it's one thing. When I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's a thing for me to play with. It's not
Speaker 1: like I'm really into it for like the ooze or whatever,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to see somebody with like a
Speaker 1: softball size like growth that has to be then you know,
Speaker 1: popp it. If that is the medical Oh, I can't
Speaker 1: watch it. It's so gross. But yeah, yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 1: Like if I see it, Yeah, if I see it,
Speaker 1: I'm like all over it. But like my husband's just
Speaker 1: like you, like, he's like it gross in real life,
Speaker 1: but he watches the ship out of it. Right, he's
Speaker 1: a doctor. He's a doctor too. Yeah he doesn't. He's
Speaker 1: a doctor. He's not faced but much, you know, right,
Speaker 1: I like how you're like, hold on, let me take
Speaker 1: a picture of this. Okay, look at your own pimple?
Speaker 1: Should you worry about that? I'm gonna pop it. Then
Speaker 1: he came home the other night and he was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, so many bits of brain and bone
Speaker 1: and then just like yeah, and then just like went
Speaker 1: into the bathroom and changed and came back and was like,
Speaker 1: what's for dinner. I'm telling you, man, it's the like
Speaker 1: other gear that health workers have is truly astonishing, like
Speaker 1: like the way they're built. Like I have friends who
Speaker 1: are in like nursing or doctors or whatever friend who
Speaker 1: like was like a trauma nurse and stuff how casually
Speaker 1: things are described to me, and then very quickly like, okay,
Speaker 1: so you want to go? I got tickets for a
Speaker 1: drastic parking imax. You want to go. I'm like, you
Speaker 1: just talked about a horrific nail gun accident and you
Speaker 1: completely okay, ye, sorry, Jackie just came back. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: I meant. So, while you were at your door, we
Speaker 1: started talking about Dr pimple Popper. She can't stand Dr
Speaker 1: pimple Popper. Loves to pop a pimple though, and then
Speaker 1: then she talked about how her husband's a doctor and say,
Speaker 1: it's see really horrific things at work, kind of grossed
Speaker 1: out by pimples. But then can like pivot on a
Speaker 1: dime to like very pleasant talk. And I said, the
Speaker 1: extra gear that healthcare workers have to be able to
Speaker 1: like deal with really fucked up ship or just harrowing situations.
Speaker 1: Come home like shower it off and then be like,
Speaker 1: let's watch Nathan for you. Miles is the recap master.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what I do. Beautiful. Yeah, well, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that any thoughts on that though. Pimple Popper doctors having
Speaker 1: that two way mind none at all. No, I would
Speaker 1: know nothing about that either of those things at all.
Speaker 1: Double standard of empathy, Uh, there is none. Sorry, what
Speaker 1: is something you think is overrated? Switch it up? Your lawn?
Speaker 1: Your grass it? Oh my god? Why is it still everywhere?
Speaker 1: My my car? Why did I say my car? The
Speaker 1: other most American thing? Well, it's just making me sad
Speaker 1: that I said that, because I really just met my desk.
Speaker 1: That means that I feel like I'm in a moving vehicle.
Speaker 1: Behind in the screen, you do have one of those
Speaker 1: little uh Fisher Price like steering wheel things, and you've
Speaker 1: been hitting the beet beat every time you want to
Speaker 1: start talking, so that my Fisher Price steering wheel you've
Speaker 1: had to turn signal on the entire recording though, So
Speaker 1: I would ask, anyways, get rid of your lawn falls.
Speaker 1: What the hell? It's a d five degrees In some
Speaker 1: places people are mowing dead yellow grass, kicking up dust.
Speaker 1: Just go to nice droughtproof plants if you like the
Speaker 1: plants in the front the lawn ship. I mean this
Speaker 1: is that there's just like an article about how like
Speaker 1: how the in like northern Mexico, Like there's really really
Speaker 1: severe water rationing happening to combat drought. But meanwhile, just
Speaker 1: over the border, like in Laredo, Texas, they're using like
Speaker 1: there's something like ten million gallons a day or something
Speaker 1: on fucking like like lawns and stuff. And I'm sure,
Speaker 1: like l A every drought area that has lawns has
Speaker 1: some absurd number they're wasting just purely on watering grass.
Speaker 1: But it feels like one of the easiest I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I get that there's so many things that we obviously
Speaker 1: need to lean on, like changing our energy mix and
Speaker 1: much bigger ideas and things like that to save the planet.
Speaker 1: But I like the more I look at them, like
Speaker 1: I don't need to see fucking grass all the fucking time,
Speaker 1: Like in a place that's a desert, there are succulents
Speaker 1: that look like grass. You don't need to do this.
Speaker 1: And also the causes of some wildfires have been lawn
Speaker 1: mowers on dead drag grass that shoots sparks and catch fire,
Speaker 1: and like, what are you doing? I put my friction
Speaker 1: machine over this fuel pile, hys, I don't understand what happened.
Speaker 1: Wildfires are job creators are That's what you have to
Speaker 1: understand for prison labor. You sounds like a warden right now.
Speaker 1: It's actually a really great employment opportunity for our chattel
Speaker 1: slate prison uh uh teammates. No, I get it. I've
Speaker 1: been hired for Arson and I've done it, but my
Speaker 1: heart was not in it. It just was not. That's
Speaker 1: why it warms my heart to see the golf the
Speaker 1: golf courses where activists have been filling up the holes
Speaker 1: with cement. Although I will say, just turn up the green,
Speaker 1: don't fill up the holes of cement, because the whole
Speaker 1: like they moved the hole every day, so you can
Speaker 1: just like that, that's easy. Yeah, they can just poke
Speaker 1: that shut out. But I love the love, the effort
Speaker 1: and the symbolism is great. It's just like that's probably
Speaker 1: didn't funk with them too bad, But no, especially because
Speaker 1: they're so precious about their little grass, the little fairway grass.
Speaker 1: They got the little things that like comb it and
Speaker 1: like primp it. After you hit the ball off of
Speaker 1: the grass, they're like it's gonna be smooth, right, Like
Speaker 1: what was what's the movie where they're like tunneling out
Speaker 1: of prison and they're like taking the dirt with him
Speaker 1: out into the yard, right, uh, great escape. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: like letting the dirt loose through his pant leg. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, And then they lampooned that and naked gun
Speaker 1: too when they're trying to escape and he's just like
Speaker 1: sitting on a fucking mountain. I'm like, did you do
Speaker 1: a similar thing but with like grass killer on a
Speaker 1: fucking golf course? Like we're big pants are like four
Speaker 1: and they're like a bunch of ships coming out the
Speaker 1: bottom that guy's pants and spelling you and eat the
Speaker 1: rich on the fairway? Are we still shifting on lines? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we had to. We had to take a sharp right
Speaker 1: turn into the gulf the country cliff real quick. Speaking
Speaker 1: of grass, Listen, now, now that I'm employed, there are
Speaker 1: all these freelance jobs I have to say no to,
Speaker 1: and that's where these are coming from. And this is
Speaker 1: coming from like ten fifteen years into your future for
Speaker 1: the rest of America, because I was back East and
Speaker 1: everything's green back there, just by accident, Like there's grass
Speaker 1: growing places, like because what else is gonna happen? Of
Speaker 1: course grass is gonna grow there, But yeah, we are.
Speaker 1: We're into the drought that's coming for all of us,
Speaker 1: and the only things that are green are golf courses
Speaker 1: and like a handful of huge like agribusiness. There's like
Speaker 1: twenty five states that don't need grass. Yeah, Miss Union
Speaker 1: never had like I look, I love a field for
Speaker 1: like sport, but you know, the turf is getting pretty good,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. This is also because outside my window
Speaker 1: while I'm trying to podcast, there's these huge John Deer's
Speaker 1: over this like ted By ted Patch. It doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense, and there's so much essentially, there's so much deeds.
Speaker 1: They are they do donuts, they're having a blast. I
Speaker 1: feel for these guys. I get it. It's a good time,
Speaker 1: but it sucks. And so that's where my underrated comes in,
Speaker 1: which is what yeah, what is your under it? These
Speaker 1: are dark chocolate almonds. Uh huh, Yeah, I like, how
Speaker 1: you good? You know, we gotta we gotta get off
Speaker 1: the fucking lawn business to one of the most water
Speaker 1: intensive products in the in the fucking state the actual
Speaker 1: one of the biggest reasons the California experiencing drought because
Speaker 1: the fucking an industry. Enough at cocoa beans, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. The long so I can have more of
Speaker 1: these chocolate covered almonds at a reduced price. This brings
Speaker 1: me to my underrated mentioned, which is hypocrisy. It's really
Speaker 1: the cure for heart disease in this nation. Try it out.
Speaker 1: It will keep you alive so long. Wait, but let
Speaker 1: me see those almonds again. They're they're good. Yeah, each one.
Speaker 1: I just I taste gallons of water in the chocolate goodness.
Speaker 1: You're like, uh, each with each almond, that's one last
Speaker 1: child thirty years from now that will know the feeling
Speaker 1: of grass under their bare feet. I know what a
Speaker 1: shower is? Do you ever think about that? Like those
Speaker 1: are like these are really weird small details that is
Speaker 1: going to go missing from from kids, like on a
Speaker 1: sleek grass, right, Like I'm out here really thinking looking
Speaker 1: at my own and like, what the fucking grass necessary?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. We already live in the era where
Speaker 1: most people don't know what I mean by a real
Speaker 1: university experience, right, or like what it's like to have
Speaker 1: campus life, right, you know, and like there's so many
Speaker 1: things like you don't think about like fifty years from
Speaker 1: now or something. With the water shortages and stuff, you
Speaker 1: think like you know, immediate like pools, you know, sprinklers,
Speaker 1: water bottles, and you don't think like, oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: might not be able to produce almonds anymore because it's
Speaker 1: just so water intensive, or we do because they have
Speaker 1: an outsized influence in the state legislature, and they're like,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, if only you guys had more lobbyists. Right,
Speaker 1: It's like when you it's like when you look at
Speaker 1: like corn politics, and then it's like, oh, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my batteries and my advil and like my window sill.
Speaker 1: You know, like you know that extra a turf you
Speaker 1: use on your lawn is actually made from recycled almonds.
Speaker 1: They just made too many almonds, so so they've turned
Speaker 1: it into it's an almond base. At about this little
Speaker 1: heart salve that I call hypocrisy, get on board. You gotta, well,
Speaker 1: you gotta sip from it every now and then. You
Speaker 1: simply must. We'll see, because when you get when you
Speaker 1: get drunk off it, that's when it's it's problems. But
Speaker 1: every now and then, just like a quick little taste.
Speaker 1: I knew you'd get it. Yeah, shout out Blue Diamond Almonds,
Speaker 1: UH inaugural sponsor of the podcast. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and so we we we've we've been talking about we
Speaker 1: just don't know in terms of like what the implications
Speaker 1: of all the c's documents are and investigations into the
Speaker 1: Trump world. But we're we're gonna put take a step
Speaker 1: back and just do a little prognostication, Yeah, because yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I really don't know what to
Speaker 1: make of all of the chaos, right because typically, you know,
Speaker 1: Trump has been running around knowing he can get away
Speaker 1: with ship like a common rich guy like since but
Speaker 1: even before office, he was just like I can do
Speaker 1: I'll move with impunity. I don't give a fuck for
Speaker 1: like a malignant narcissist. Yeah, and it's mostly kind of
Speaker 1: like I'll like I'll commit these like financial crimes that
Speaker 1: like it's it's kind of a hard that it's not
Speaker 1: it's not fun for everybody doesn't quite a rise to
Speaker 1: these other crimes like assault or something I've been accused of.
Speaker 1: But he just I just can't help but feel that
Speaker 1: something is different, and not in the sense that I'm like,
Speaker 1: we're gonna finally see justice. But at been sadly, this
Speaker 1: is the most he has ever seemed like he felt
Speaker 1: like he might face The music is what it kind
Speaker 1: of is what it feels like. And I think the
Speaker 1: super optimistic take, which or the view is what you
Speaker 1: see like on a lot of news channels where they're
Speaker 1: like Trump's going down, Like they look at everything and
Speaker 1: be like this, Trump knows he had the worst ship
Speaker 1: in there, and the FBI has it count down to indictment,
Speaker 1: which is which which is possible that's feasible based on
Speaker 1: like what they're saying and the you know, how severe
Speaker 1: they're saying the the potential charges are. And then another
Speaker 1: view is like, ohn't no, man, I think Trump is
Speaker 1: just so used to getting away with ship that having
Speaker 1: the FBI raid his house is more like offensive to
Speaker 1: his like sensibilities than inducing genuine like existential panic. Like
Speaker 1: it's like a Karen freaking out after being told like
Speaker 1: she can't cut the line even though I'm late for
Speaker 1: my Bible study group kind of ship where it's like
Speaker 1: you're not gonna tell me this. Suddenly I used to
Speaker 1: do whatever the funk I want, so I'm trying to
Speaker 1: figure out it's like half real dread half just like
Speaker 1: but I'm white, right, you can't fucking do this to me,
Speaker 1: like don't you also like have a little ah whenever
Speaker 1: there's like some semblance of checks and balances left in
Speaker 1: this country. Like I found myself being like, doesn't that
Speaker 1: didn't he like a point most of the FBI, Like
Speaker 1: didn't he Flesh director was a Trump appointee confirmed by Republicans? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, didn't didn't the Trump administration go through
Speaker 1: like most executive offices and make them all Trump goons anyway? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or gun adjacent for sure? You know it's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the case. Goon adjacent was one of my freelance jobs
Speaker 1: where you were, and I've been hired to do arson
Speaker 1: because I'm doing my heart wasn't in it. That does
Speaker 1: feel like what like those sorts of things like him
Speaker 1: appointing somebody who could get approved by the Republicans during
Speaker 1: his first term and like are all things he's like
Speaker 1: never again, what like this this is all stuff that
Speaker 1: is going to drive the wildest like you know, just
Speaker 1: descent into authoritarianism if if he is elected like this, yeah,
Speaker 1: because again like this, the the GOP just doubles down
Speaker 1: and doubles down, Like again, I always liking it's like
Speaker 1: you're reducing a sauce in a like you're cooking and
Speaker 1: it starts off watery, but you're like, no, cook that
Speaker 1: ship down to the google, the racist fascist goog that's
Speaker 1: really down to ride. So it gets smaller, but it's thicker, right,
Speaker 1: it's way more potent because you're cooking off the weaklings
Speaker 1: or you're purging and then but then they keep turning
Speaker 1: the heat of my bro the pan is gonna dry
Speaker 1: out and you're aventually gonna burn the kitchen down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like a mineral basin of titanium dioxide at
Speaker 1: the bottom, right exactly. You look in there, like, what's
Speaker 1: that smoldering pot, You're like, that's the fascist They're they're
Speaker 1: just doing their thing over there. But I think it's
Speaker 1: probably a mix of the two. But again it is
Speaker 1: very clear. The only reason I'm kind of just keep
Speaker 1: watching this is because typically, like we've said this before,
Speaker 1: they just say fake news, it's bullshit. But the the
Speaker 1: word choice, the sort of sentiment, the emotion is a
Speaker 1: lot more like you know, intense. Now, so for starters, right,
Speaker 1: no lawyers want to work with him. They're they're talking
Speaker 1: about like tax law, like people who are not like
Speaker 1: at the top of their game. And we've seen who
Speaker 1: he has as his lawyers right now, Like one of
Speaker 1: them was like a fucking commentator from news Max. Like
Speaker 1: these aren't These aren't like the kinds of like goons
Speaker 1: that you get. And it's probably because a he is
Speaker 1: a guy who everyone knows that it isn't the best
Speaker 1: at paying back legal costs. Also doesn't really like listen
Speaker 1: to fucking legal advice ever, So don't know if anyone
Speaker 1: worth their ship is gonna be like yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to tell yeah, I'll represent you in the US versus
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on Espionage Act charges if it gets there,
Speaker 1: Like what. So that's one aspect there's that he's having trouble,
Speaker 1: although he says it's all fake. Knows he has the
Speaker 1: best people, but we've seen the clowns that show up
Speaker 1: for him. He's posting op eds like on truth like
Speaker 1: retweeting or retrue thing ship. That's basically that's the gist
Speaker 1: of it. Is like the reprisals for the maral Lago
Speaker 1: raid will be epic if Donald Trump isn't his president again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lot for like a yappie talking head that's
Speaker 1: here to distract us from climate disaster, and I may
Speaker 1: have had I may have edited that for a little bit.
Speaker 1: It doesn't. But I mean that is I think this
Speaker 1: is the most potent attack for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 1: First of all, true, he will, like if he gets
Speaker 1: nominated then elected, or not even nominated but elected, which
Speaker 1: also a possibility, he that it will be just a
Speaker 1: NonStop authoritarian like persecution of his enemies and critics, like
Speaker 1: the the whole time. That will just be what what
Speaker 1: is happening inside the White House. But also I also
Speaker 1: think that like even in the mainstream media, you hear
Speaker 1: people talk about how like but you can't really like
Speaker 1: prosecute a president because then it's you know that then
Speaker 1: it's just back and forth until the end of time.
Speaker 1: Presidents what ny But it's happened, It's not right. But
Speaker 1: that's like so that that is the thing that I
Speaker 1: feel like they keep falling back on is like that's
Speaker 1: just I mean, who knows Joe Biden may still have
Speaker 1: a hand in destroying this country by pardoning Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: you know, if it came down to it, and then
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, yeah, it's fully, it's it's bad because
Speaker 1: there was that one like psychologist Bandy Lee. If you
Speaker 1: remember from the very beginning of the Trump administration, she's
Speaker 1: like one of the few people being like this guy
Speaker 1: is not fit for office. This is where this ship
Speaker 1: is gonna lead. Like he's using all these like I've
Speaker 1: worked with people in prison populations. He's doing the same
Speaker 1: ship you see prison gang leaders do, getting people riled up,
Speaker 1: offering protection, saying hey, y'all down for violence, then ghosting
Speaker 1: them and just do And they're very they're very charismatic figures.
Speaker 1: And her whole thing is like, the only way you
Speaker 1: burst that bubble is to actually like have consequences. It's
Speaker 1: the only way the It's not the opposite. It's not well,
Speaker 1: if there's consequences, it'll get worse. It's like, no, you
Speaker 1: have to burst the fucking bubble. And you know they're
Speaker 1: saying like for most of the time, people returned to
Speaker 1: their norm because they realize, oh, ship, that was okay,
Speaker 1: we were that. That can't that doesn't work. He's acting
Speaker 1: like a Middle Eastern dictator. Yeah. And even like people
Speaker 1: who are observing like other like like extremist researchers like man,
Speaker 1: the way the direction that geops headed, it's like this,
Speaker 1: this is its own fucking thing, right, It's like a
Speaker 1: cult where everyone should be executed, Like that's coming off
Speaker 1: the lips of everyone, Like candidates are like, I think
Speaker 1: Mary Garland, maybe maybe it might executer I don't know
Speaker 1: what on earth is happening. I mean to the rest
Speaker 1: of the world. I don't like, how does this look like?
Speaker 1: This is so the collapse? I mean, we're seeing it everywhere,
Speaker 1: and I just I don't understand the centrist like viewpoint
Speaker 1: on this ship. Like I have a lot of centrist
Speaker 1: liberal friends because I'm infil trading, and I just like
Speaker 1: messing with their game and that friend and I just like,
Speaker 1: I don't I'm always playing this game with him. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm just like, how do I poke you persistently?
Speaker 1: How do I pop this pimple? Right? Right? Right? How
Speaker 1: do I dr pimple? Pop your noise? That's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, the way he talks and the respectability of
Speaker 1: it all, like the tone and the like, this is
Speaker 1: not how I want my America to look. And we
Speaker 1: simply can't put him in prison because then it'll mean
Speaker 1: accountability for future presidents. I'm sorry, I'm sorry your kid
Speaker 1: is in the backyard lighting our cars on fire, but
Speaker 1: maybe has nothing to do with your parental style either,
Speaker 1: where you're like, I don't I just don't want to,
Speaker 1: Thank God, I want to be a friend to this
Speaker 1: out of control thing. It's like the same idiot that
Speaker 1: says ship like you can't tax businesses then though just leaves. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess there's no other way to figure that out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like because it's very like abuse abuser talk. Yes,
Speaker 1: victim blamey abuser talk. Okay, if you do that, then
Speaker 1: who's gonna love you? Right fucking anywhere? You're getting me
Speaker 1: many greedy mother pus you talking about. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: add all to that, right, the paranoia too in Trump world.
Speaker 1: Now there's like a few pieces I think it's in
Speaker 1: the Guard and that was writing that multiple aids, like
Speaker 1: eight people spoke under anonymity to who are I don't
Speaker 1: know again, I don't know if this is this is
Speaker 1: part of the game of thrones that's happening at mar Lago,
Speaker 1: But there are people are starting to suspect that someone
Speaker 1: in his family is the FBI informant because of like
Speaker 1: a very specific item the FBI took was like a
Speaker 1: leather bound box and they're like, this couldn't have been
Speaker 1: a housekeeper or like a random person who does security,
Speaker 1: like in the exterior things like having someone so close
Speaker 1: to even though that like it's his like little precious
Speaker 1: leather box that he puts his secrets in or some ship.
Speaker 1: So that's another one that is also just kind of
Speaker 1: a loud talking point that's going around. And then at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the week, Donald Jr. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if this was a defense or him blasted and trying
Speaker 1: to seem like everything's all good, like with very out
Speaker 1: of control laughter, which is always a great sign that
Speaker 1: someone is very chill. I'm not freaking out, you are
Speaker 1: should we know? There isn't a single Like sometimes you'll
Speaker 1: get a clip that has a screen cap where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they pulled a screen cap to make this person look
Speaker 1: very stupid. There is not a screen cap from this
Speaker 1: clip where he does not look deranged and like he's
Speaker 1: on the verge of breaking bursting into tears. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I get that this is not a visual medium. Imagine
Speaker 1: his his face the whole time is he is on
Speaker 1: the verge of a terrible digestive event. Dan, He's trying
Speaker 1: to hold that back while also projecting like confidence and aggression.
Speaker 1: My father says that he would have given them what
Speaker 1: they wanted had they done this, but no, they needed
Speaker 1: the FBI Hast Rescue Team. They're elite tactical unit in
Speaker 1: thirtiothing agents to show up to my father's home. That
Speaker 1: goes on for two and a half minute, like NonStop screaming,
Speaker 1: barely any breaths, just there's so much go gain in
Speaker 1: my body. The FBI, this is a lot. This is
Speaker 1: a lot. So he's very chill. Then you have then
Speaker 1: another note on Thursday, the CFO of like the Trump Corporation,
Speaker 1: the organizations. Alan Weisselberg, who many people have been like,
Speaker 1: man that when they first got him on charges, they're like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: he will flip because he doesn't, you know, he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to go to jail and miss the you know,
Speaker 1: the rest of the lives of his family. He's in
Speaker 1: his like mid to late seventies. He just pleaded guilty,
Speaker 1: and at first there was nothing about like a cooperation deal,
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh wow, maybe this guy really trying
Speaker 1: to be a g about it. But then it came
Speaker 1: out right after he played guilty that part of this
Speaker 1: plea deal was that he is going to test he
Speaker 1: will testify against the Trump companies about some of the
Speaker 1: fucking weird illegal tax ship that they were doing. Now
Speaker 1: it's just against the companies, not Trump himself. He would
Speaker 1: not do that, so in in a sense, he's still
Speaker 1: trying to be a fucking gangster about the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I do not understand why how that helps him. But
Speaker 1: the benefit there is that if the companies are found
Speaker 1: guilty of all that fuckory and wrongdoing, they can be
Speaker 1: just find out of existence, which typically is the case.
Speaker 1: So that could be a huge blow to the empire.
Speaker 1: So that's another thing. Dang, that's another wait to put
Speaker 1: on the pile of the Trump world psyche and the
Speaker 1: bit of unpleasantness for Trump to deal with down the line.
Speaker 1: Or could you imagine it's like, oh they could put
Speaker 1: my business, yeah, or just to be find so much
Speaker 1: to the point it's like I gotta I have to
Speaker 1: sell it, like there's no way I can navigate this.
Speaker 1: So on top of it, all right, all the chaos
Speaker 1: is allowing for more just opportunistic bullshit on the right,
Speaker 1: and it's turning into like a kind of a circular
Speaker 1: firing squad in the weirdest way. I want to play
Speaker 1: an ad for you for this guy Mark Lombardo, who's
Speaker 1: running against At Gates and his Republican primary opponent. You
Speaker 1: just put out an attack ad that it's trying to
Speaker 1: be like, Matt Gates is the fucking mole. This is
Speaker 1: a Republican attack ad against another Republican all off the
Speaker 1: heels of this Mara lago. Right when Donald Trump really
Speaker 1: endorses someone, he goes big. You've seen none of that
Speaker 1: for lyon Matt Gates. What does Trump know is Gates
Speaker 1: the informant hired Jeffrey Epstein's attorney. Another Epstein attorney approved
Speaker 1: the rate on Trump's house. Remember Dates pressure Trump to
Speaker 1: give him a pardon, but Trump said no. Matt Gates
Speaker 1: puts himself first the head of Trump and ahead of you.
Speaker 1: Vote for me to go anyway. This is so weird,
Speaker 1: So many accusations and like insinuations in the span of
Speaker 1: five seconds there. Well, none of it is about policy whatsoever.
Speaker 1: It's about Trump loyalty. This is a bizarre. It's exactly
Speaker 1: you're gonna let him do that to the brand. Also,
Speaker 1: he hired pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's attorney. Why don't you. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: if you want to go after Matt Gates, he's actually
Speaker 1: under investigation for trafficking. Yeah, he's a he's a human monster.
Speaker 1: Maybe go there. But also, are y' all forgetting how
Speaker 1: close Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump Ward two? That's like what's
Speaker 1: so wild about this? Also like the crossed wires around
Speaker 1: like Epstein bad good Earth. So yeah, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: really really just everyone's out here trying to get therapies. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Alex Jones, he's has a very he's he said he's
Speaker 1: off Trump. He said he's going full to Santis and
Speaker 1: but I would take that with a cat. But here
Speaker 1: is here is Alex Jones from Thursday saying, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I can't believe this man scenario if Hillary
Speaker 1: or Biden got him. He said he only voted for
Speaker 1: but that shaid, I am supporting the Shantis. Mhm. Santus
Speaker 1: is just gone from being awesome to being unbelievably good.
Speaker 1: And I don't just watching me, Christ said Tree Bias Fridge.
Speaker 1: I can also look in his ks on HD video
Speaker 1: and I see the real sincerity. I love that, he said,
Speaker 1: you know, Christ said fruits. But I can see in
Speaker 1: his eyes on HD video. I think again, take that
Speaker 1: with many full rocks of salt, because Alex Jones is
Speaker 1: a total creature. He has nothing, there's there's nothing consistent
Speaker 1: about him. I mean like he's he goes back and forth.
Speaker 1: I remember when the vaccine stuff came out, he lost
Speaker 1: it on Trump because he was saying, like, you know,
Speaker 1: the vaccines. Okay, He's like, I'm done with this guy.
Speaker 1: But again, I think it's for for Alex Jones, he
Speaker 1: has to kind of be flu it in order to
Speaker 1: make sure he's always kind of capturing what's going to
Speaker 1: keep the brand, his own Info Wars brand. Like going
Speaker 1: the way they talk about each other is like listening
Speaker 1: to like a WWS, like yeah, takedown because it just
Speaker 1: like nothing is real. Like it's all about like power
Speaker 1: plays and like loyalty and proximity and like no no
Speaker 1: information about anything. Yeah yeah, that's all would have looked
Speaker 1: real fucked up like five years ago, and now it's
Speaker 1: just like yeah, yeah, I know, everything is just like
Speaker 1: in relation to whatever Trump believes and being friends with
Speaker 1: Trump or yeah, like there's not even like not like
Speaker 1: a stack of the court. It's not like a build
Speaker 1: on what he did, like no evil plans. Just who
Speaker 1: you hang out with a Republican primary is attack at
Speaker 1: is basically Trump likes me more, but that other person gates,
Speaker 1: but he thinks he's kind of a dick. That's that's
Speaker 1: autocratic politics. That's it's like, Okay, get in line, who's
Speaker 1: the most loyal the ones who are not loyal, guess
Speaker 1: what you're out, You're fucking out. And that's how. And
Speaker 1: we will refine this process until we fucking reduced the
Speaker 1: pot to the most goopy goblin e fox who are
Speaker 1: willing to say and do anything. And we've they've reduced
Speaker 1: the first layer. They got all the Republicans who voted
Speaker 1: to impeach out HM and now we're going down to
Speaker 1: whatever the funk this is? Who knows? You know, t
Speaker 1: t B D to t B A, who fucking knows?
Speaker 1: On top of this again, on top of all of this,
Speaker 1: there's this guy Joe to Jenneva. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember him. He was part of like the like
Speaker 1: elite strike force of like best lawyers, cool lawyers, like
Speaker 1: fled by Rudy Giuliani and like Jenna Ellis and like
Speaker 1: you know, old cracking lady. What a team. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. He went on news Max and he's basically saying,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, man, gonna invite They're gonna indict Trump. But
Speaker 1: it's all good, you know, because you can you can
Speaker 1: do a lot from jail on news Max, which is
Speaker 1: the maximum news is one of the most news. Uh.
Speaker 1: This is one of the most abusive attorney generals in history.
Speaker 1: This process is arrogant, abusive, and affront to the Constitution.
Speaker 1: They are going to indict Donald Trump. Merrick Garland has
Speaker 1: lost his senses. But I think you pointed out last week,
Speaker 1: if they do indict him crazily enough, I mean, if
Speaker 1: they are crazy enough to do it, that doesn't render
Speaker 1: him ineligible to run or even be president. He can listen,
Speaker 1: Eugene Debs ran for president from the federal prison. There's
Speaker 1: no reason that that's going to happen to Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He's not going to be in a federal prison. But
Speaker 1: if he's indicted, he will run for president. There you go.
Speaker 1: I mean that is where we are gonna like that real, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1: That that feels real, And it also is probably like
Speaker 1: a question that I think a lot of people are
Speaker 1: asking it was like, so if he is indicted though,
Speaker 1: he's still going to run and probably win. So oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's at that point. That's like Indiana Jones looking at
Speaker 1: that motherfucking's stone door closing. Yeah, exactly, he's like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: I gotta run for the fucking exit. By running for
Speaker 1: that's a fucking that's another weird motivator for somebody entering office.
Speaker 1: But I don't know Greg Kelly was over on Newsmax.
Speaker 1: I don't know he had dipped over there. Is that
Speaker 1: that guy's name? Yeah, man an, what are they about
Speaker 1: to be no longer a thing? Or that was one
Speaker 1: one American News that's oh yeah and yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: They're there in their final death farts of their existence
Speaker 1: as a quote unquote network. But yeah, I mean again,
Speaker 1: that also has a dual process, right Joe to Jenneva
Speaker 1: really fanning the flames, because we've also seen the tactic
Speaker 1: from the right, which is to get the base to
Speaker 1: understand that like they need to get fucking we heard
Speaker 1: again for him, and it feels like by saying he's
Speaker 1: your dad is gonna go to jail if you don't
Speaker 1: beat up the cops, right, you know, it's kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a weird motivating tactic I can also see,
Speaker 1: which is also fundraising tactics. So it's so hard to
Speaker 1: know what they're feeling or doing. But again to even
Speaker 1: say like, well, I mean, yeah, I man, he could
Speaker 1: he could run for office, even if he's you know,
Speaker 1: in present, so strange. Yeah. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is fucking
Speaker 1: oding on copium on his show because I don't know. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know he knows. All I know is he
Speaker 1: spent most of his time just laughing really weird at
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney's loss in her primary and then even brings
Speaker 1: up and for good measure, brings up even the Iraq
Speaker 1: War just to be a full piece of ship. But anyway,
Speaker 1: here here's the first one where you get to hear
Speaker 1: this really weird copium laugh this. Cheney is America's foremost
Speaker 1: defender of democracy. But democracy spanked or hard last night,
Speaker 1: but it didn't decrease her arrogance. She compared herself, Abraham
Speaker 1: nacoln We're gonna have a glow to thon. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna say it out word, We're gonna have a glow
Speaker 1: to thon over the defeat of Liz Cheney and we're
Speaker 1: gonna hell. Okay, do you want to hear it? It
Speaker 1: gets worse. Yeah, my face is just frozen in horror.
Speaker 1: But go on, I must say I feel sorry for it.
Speaker 1: Turns out Americans shoulders are harder to deal within the
Speaker 1: rocky civilians. You can't just drone them to death. You
Speaker 1: have to obey them. Oh, it's so great. This is
Speaker 1: Cheney day in my house. Victor Dave was handsome. Great
Speaker 1: to see you what obey yoho? Anyway? He beat chill,
Speaker 1: beat chill, everything beat chill. Yeah, he's got fantasies. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say. The Liz Cheney thing seems
Speaker 1: to yeah, like I agree, that is That's the thing
Speaker 1: I'd be focusing on if I were them, is like that.
Speaker 1: It seems like he's still very popular despite all this
Speaker 1: wild ship that's happening, like it's just gonna it seems
Speaker 1: like it's just moving in opposite directions, with like him
Speaker 1: being to anybody paying attention to facts like more and
Speaker 1: more shockingly wildly like unelectable, or like just like should
Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowed to run for office, and then with
Speaker 1: his base it's like more and more they're just like,
Speaker 1: he is our god emperor. We will die to to
Speaker 1: make him powerful again. That's part of me thinks the
Speaker 1: cleanest thing, which isn't really justice, is that they get
Speaker 1: him to the brink and say, look, motherfucker, you will
Speaker 1: never run for president. You shut the funk up. You
Speaker 1: don't have to go to jail. Yeah, but he I mean,
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's how they use him though, Like
Speaker 1: it almost feels like the opposite is that, like, at
Speaker 1: this point, what else can the man do but continuously
Speaker 1: run for president, Like he's incapable of everything else other
Speaker 1: than being allowed racist, terrifying talking head mhmm. That that
Speaker 1: scares the left and emboldens the most base horror of America.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and to your point there is the Democrats
Speaker 1: have their hand in this too, you know, like they
Speaker 1: based on how hard they go, and also they have
Speaker 1: the pretty clear election strategy, as they've done of elevating
Speaker 1: the MAGA people in primary races because they feel they
Speaker 1: will be easier to run against in in the November
Speaker 1: in the mid terms. That what that's about. Yeah, they've
Speaker 1: been investing in elevating the most fucking wacky of the
Speaker 1: wax to to get in those primary races and then
Speaker 1: they're being like yeah, and then they'll beat them. It's
Speaker 1: like or that will spectacularly backfire because you're an absolute ye.
Speaker 1: How I don't understand how in this nation where we
Speaker 1: have our both hands and feet in Middle Eastern playbook
Speaker 1: for destabilization, how we then don't massively recognize that when
Speaker 1: it's happening in this nation and stoke mag It's like,
Speaker 1: that isn't how you destabilize nations in the Middle East.
Speaker 1: This is bizarre. I don't understand. But I think in
Speaker 1: a way, you watch it unfold and you're like, I
Speaker 1: can't be like, is this the country's karma? You know?
Speaker 1: I mean this arma is just cause and effect, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: or just like this is the echo it comes back.
Speaker 1: But then also you yeah, well the falling victim to
Speaker 1: your own tricks, but also have this like your own
Speaker 1: arrogance as a nation makes you completely unable to grapple
Speaker 1: with it. Well, that that's the baseline of like transformative
Speaker 1: justice thinking, right, is that like it is what goes
Speaker 1: around comes around, and when it is something that we do,
Speaker 1: then it's something that we do, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: It's something that becomes practice, has an infrastructure, has like
Speaker 1: a process that then I mean all habits psychology tells you, hey,
Speaker 1: this is a bad idea. Don't invest time in something
Speaker 1: like this, because then that's what you're gonna autopilot too
Speaker 1: in a crisis. And this country right now is exhausted,
Speaker 1: it's out of work, it is broke, it's people need resources.
Speaker 1: There are no infrastructures to hold people together in a crisis.
Speaker 1: People with no other infrastructure are going to believe that
Speaker 1: they need to choose violence, and like it just goes
Speaker 1: back to like I just like when Liz Cheney was
Speaker 1: about to lose, I got so many obnoxious texts from
Speaker 1: the Democrats that were like, you know, thank her for
Speaker 1: risking her career to bring down Trump, and like we
Speaker 1: need Liz Cheney. And then there was also like movements
Speaker 1: to get Democrats to find ways to vote for her,
Speaker 1: to support her, and I was like, what are you doing, right,
Speaker 1: We're just like, you know, okay, Republicans, now that's our party,
Speaker 1: Like for the daughter of one of the most vile
Speaker 1: motherfucker's in American history, and also her she herself was
Speaker 1: just a Trump rubber stamp. Yeah, I mean this is
Speaker 1: what I mean, is like that centrist notion of like
Speaker 1: she stood up. I'm like, okay, or is this just
Speaker 1: like or is this born out of being in a
Speaker 1: reality where you are the apex predators societally, you know,
Speaker 1: so you're completely unable to conceive of a threat because
Speaker 1: society has reflected back to you that you're the most
Speaker 1: potent creature and at any time you can exercise control
Speaker 1: over your reality, unlike the people beneath you, Which is
Speaker 1: why I feel like the perspective of more vulnerable people
Speaker 1: is like what the funk are y'all? Yeah? Accurate and
Speaker 1: like a valid or people more in touch, you know,
Speaker 1: where there is also a group of people who are
Speaker 1: so fucking in s elated, who have had made a
Speaker 1: very charmed life were they know not of anything that
Speaker 1: is a an actual, like an abstract threat in the
Speaker 1: forms and like fascism. They might be like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: a scary man of color going on a job. Maybe
Speaker 1: don't I might be across the street for that, but fascism,
Speaker 1: I don't, right, you know, we're in the plot of
Speaker 1: alien to Na. I feel like we memory hold the
Speaker 1: fact that they did this with Trump, with the Republican nomination,
Speaker 1: where like if you listen to keeping It sixteen hundred,
Speaker 1: the precursor to POD Save America, like they were they
Speaker 1: were all like rude, openly rooting that Trump would get
Speaker 1: the nomination because it would be magically Oh yeah, like
Speaker 1: this is this has been They're thinking they were rooting
Speaker 1: for all the ship to to happen because they just didn't.
Speaker 1: They they have not been able to conceive of the
Speaker 1: threat in a in a realistic way at all. Right, folks,
Speaker 1: this is what happens when you do the villain's vision work.
Speaker 1: Stay focused on the resources you want, on the infrastructures
Speaker 1: that you demand. Don't let the election turn into which
Speaker 1: villain is more to your liking. Demand what you want,
Speaker 1: protect what you want. Yeah, exactly the same. Just like
Speaker 1: we're saying yesterday with like what can Biden do to
Speaker 1: like activate the youth vote, It's like, well, he needs
Speaker 1: to actually propose an Yeah, anything that acknowledge what the
Speaker 1: needs are of that articulated group you just identified. Acknowledge
Speaker 1: any needs by anyone in the last four years. Acknowledge
Speaker 1: how what more on the got the Inflation Reduction Act,
Speaker 1: the job markets wilder than ever It's like, have you
Speaker 1: talked to anybody? Have you talked to anybody who isn't
Speaker 1: like in the employer class at all? You know? Do you?
Speaker 1: Do you know? And do you have any friends who
Speaker 1: are actually struggling to get any friends who are so
Speaker 1: depressed because of their lack of opportunity and feeling so
Speaker 1: confused at like what they did wrong when it's no
Speaker 1: doing of their own, the funked up place they live in.
Speaker 1: Do you know anybody like that? Is that a real
Speaker 1: person to you? Or is that a character on the
Speaker 1: TV show? Did you imagine if life was like that?
Speaker 1: I am a pacifist, but can we give AOC some nukes?
Speaker 1: Is that okay? I mean I don't trust Can we
Speaker 1: make it a proposition? I hate to, like say all
Speaker 1: that clock or ship just to be classes again? But
Speaker 1: she has less than a hundred thousand dollars in assets.
Speaker 1: She has nothing to lose, so I don't trust her. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, I'm glad somebody sorry, Zara, I infiltrated you.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, hey, thanks for the unhoused all day?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Wouldn't that be incredible if
Speaker 1: we just gave the unhoused folks tanks and then they
Speaker 1: just like rolled over Beverly Hills, Like wouldn't that just
Speaker 1: be yeah even yeah this direction yeah, run wild, run wild. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but this is you know, we're we're like,
Speaker 1: it's an omni crisis. It's just hard for like which one, like, honestly,
Speaker 1: which one do you want to pick? But to your
Speaker 1: point is, are I think it is really important is
Speaker 1: to like the only way out of it or some
Speaker 1: some beginning for most people to come to like some sense,
Speaker 1: which is don't just don't go to the ship buffet
Speaker 1: and be like, well, there's only two options they have, right,
Speaker 1: fucking burn the fucking place down and be like, well
Speaker 1: this place I don't like, this is what I want?
Speaker 1: Or fucking scream outside the place and be like I'm
Speaker 1: not going in there to get him what the funk
Speaker 1: I want. But we we don't have a system of
Speaker 1: checks and balances anymore. We can't wait for our legislators
Speaker 1: to hand us people that we like, We're going to
Speaker 1: have to do that work. One with nuts and corn
Speaker 1: is actually really good. Get back in line, Get back
Speaker 1: in line. I got I got the little piece of
Speaker 1: crap that had corn niplets in it still all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and there's a there's a new vampire
Speaker 1: movie at the top of the Netflix charts called day Shift.
Speaker 1: Seen says it's fabulous. Jamie Fox is Jamie Fox and
Speaker 1: it up in in the trailers plays a pool cleaner
Speaker 1: who pivots into vampire hunting. And there's even a tie
Speaker 1: in music video in which Jamie Fox and Dave Franco
Speaker 1: rap about out mowing down vamps. Okay, okay, I have
Speaker 1: my attention, sir. Yes, we always at least once a
Speaker 1: presidential administration. I like to talk about the theory that
Speaker 1: you get more zombie movies during Republican presidencies and more
Speaker 1: vampire movies during democratic administrations. Zombie Land two came out
Speaker 1: during Trump's reign, but I feel like it didn't do
Speaker 1: that well. So I am. We We wrote about this
Speaker 1: back at Cracked, some website called Cracked in and but
Speaker 1: I do feel like it ended after Trump, like all
Speaker 1: things semblance of yeah, I don't I don't know that
Speaker 1: I buy it anymore, because, first of all, Trump like
Speaker 1: zombie Land two coming out during Trump's administration. Trump was
Speaker 1: like the prototypical like nightmare version of a Republican administration,
Speaker 1: and we only got zombie Land two. Like that's that
Speaker 1: and nobody went and saw that ship. So like, I
Speaker 1: do feel like we've crossed a line and like this
Speaker 1: that doesn't really hold anymore because we mean, like we
Speaker 1: don't watch as much zombies now. Well, just like I
Speaker 1: don't think we're as afraid of where the I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think anyone's afraid that Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: So here's the theory. I'll just lay out the theory.
Speaker 1: The theory is you get more zombies during Republican presidencies
Speaker 1: because zombies represent what Democrats fear about Republicans, which is,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of groaning like the consumers. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like in the mall. A lot of zombie movies
Speaker 1: have taken place in a mall, just like mindless groaning hoards.
Speaker 1: That's kind of how Democrats tend to picture Republicans. And
Speaker 1: then vampire movies come out during democratic administrations because vampires
Speaker 1: represent what Republicans fear about Democrats, which is like this
Speaker 1: stylish European kind of party animal, sexually ambiguous. I always
Speaker 1: thought zombies represented xenophobia. I think they probably do as well,
Speaker 1: because there's always a wall they're going to break through.
Speaker 1: One comes with a horde, right. All they do is consume, consume,
Speaker 1: consume exactly, and what are they paying back into the system?
Speaker 1: These zombies not at all exactly. But there was that
Speaker 1: interesting film that came out during the Trump presidency, My
Speaker 1: Uncle the Zombie. She was about the guy and talking
Speaker 1: about his uncle's a zombie and really normalizing and humanizing
Speaker 1: the Zombie. Was produced by The New York Times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I wonder if if there was that upticking kind
Speaker 1: of thing where it's like zombies are actually kind of chilled.
Speaker 1: They're not, you know, we're like, wait, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: I feel like this made a lot of sense up
Speaker 1: through Obama right, like w like the w administration, I
Speaker 1: remember like zombies having like a huge moment like Dawn
Speaker 1: of the Dead, Resident Evil twenty eight Days Later handbook.
Speaker 1: That was when World War Z the book I think
Speaker 1: came out. And then during Obama we had like the
Speaker 1: Twilight franchise, which was like a sexy vampire, which like
Speaker 1: fully fits into the idea of like the the fear Republicans,
Speaker 1: fear of Democrats, is not just that they are like
Speaker 1: these you know, sexually progressive immigrants with style, but that
Speaker 1: they also appeal to their like teenage children. So Twilight
Speaker 1: is like the worst case scenario for that. And but
Speaker 1: then there wasn't like I never felt like during the
Speaker 1: Trump administration, like zombies, we're having a big comeback, and
Speaker 1: I don't don't feel like, even though this Jamie Foxx
Speaker 1: movie looks cool, I don't think anybody is, like, I'm
Speaker 1: scared of Joe Biden and therefore I'm going to watch.
Speaker 1: Like Joe Biden doesn't evoke a you know, smooth like
Speaker 1: hovering vampire to me. If anything, he's a zombie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well the thing too, Yeah, he's an old rotten corpse
Speaker 1: walking around this ship. My palate cleanser for Biden is
Speaker 1: the show Cheers. No No Why, because everybody knows your
Speaker 1: name there and he can't remember anyone's name exactly. Okay, Norm,
Speaker 1: like he would do well, Norm, I know that guy.
Speaker 1: They formed bar away from policy. I've always thought Cheers
Speaker 1: as the subjective depiction of what drunk people think a
Speaker 1: bar looks like, versus like what it actually looks like.
Speaker 1: It's like, that's what it's a bar feels like when
Speaker 1: you're drunk, it's like well lit and everybody's like glad,
Speaker 1: like cheerful, and rather be like a fuck. Norm's here,
Speaker 1: he's racist again. I don't fucking cut him off. He's
Speaker 1: not drunk. I don't care. I don't I wanted to leap, Hey, coach,
Speaker 1: I'll have another mhmm, do you think? I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess that we've we've really I guess what is
Speaker 1: is there's no other vampire stuff on the horizon. I
Speaker 1: feel like there so there is. There's a bunch of
Speaker 1: vampire I just don't buy that it's like coming from
Speaker 1: people's fear of Joe Biden. But maybe I'm just like
Speaker 1: so out of touch with mainstream America's I don't know, brandonization. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of vampire ship coming, so like this
Speaker 1: would tie into it. It's I guess I haven't made
Speaker 1: made room for the Trump presidents here. I haven't made
Speaker 1: sense of the Trump presidency because like that just doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like a thing. Maybe it's just the thing we
Speaker 1: haven't like grappled with as a like culturally, because there's
Speaker 1: just I don't see it in the culture. But maybe
Speaker 1: maybe somebody can put me towards like the the monster
Speaker 1: movies that do a good job representing the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we got interview with the Vampires becoming an
Speaker 1: AMC show. Marvel is rebooting Blade next year, so it's coming.
Speaker 1: The centrist liberals are very worried about Biden in my
Speaker 1: little centrist liberal infiltration feed about like what a sexually charismatic,
Speaker 1: that he's not at all, and that he's gonna lose,
Speaker 1: and they just like keep pitching each other like alternative
Speaker 1: candidates because they're so scared he's gonna run and then lose.
Speaker 1: Who are those hypothetical candid pe Buddha and ship or
Speaker 1: bus that was a vampire movie and it's like nobody
Speaker 1: went and saw that ship. There's a lot of insisting
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama run and save us. I know, women, do
Speaker 1: your labor of saving this fucking, festering creator of a country.
Speaker 1: Very Obama third time, you know, I think, what do
Speaker 1: you think maybe A Quiet Place kind of summed up
Speaker 1: the vibes of the Trump Yeah, I think that was
Speaker 1: the one because remember, like I remember, I think JM
Speaker 1: wrote up A Quiet Place When we're talking about how
Speaker 1: it really was encapsulating conservative fears around like don't open
Speaker 1: your mouth, yeah, because the ship that you say will
Speaker 1: get you snatched up or canceled, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And bird Box right, a lot of just shutting down
Speaker 1: your senses. I think maybe we're moving into maybe like
Speaker 1: we've blown up the vampire zombie, you know, dynamic, and
Speaker 1: we're moving into some other thing for another phase now
Speaker 1: where you were like people are like into being like
Speaker 1: really ignorant and it's saving their life. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of that, you know what I mean. That's the
Speaker 1: scary thing is that like the stereotypical action movie hero
Speaker 1: in and or just like movie protagonist for like movies
Speaker 1: targeted at male demographics, is is like a Trump supporter.
Speaker 1: Now it's like an operator who's good with a gun
Speaker 1: and like has been for a long time like that.
Speaker 1: There's this article Jason Pargem wrote it correct that was
Speaker 1: pointing out that like when you look back at who
Speaker 1: are like who people root for in American films, it's
Speaker 1: like the rural like person who's trying to take down
Speaker 1: the government, like in Star Wars. You know, it's a
Speaker 1: it's like Luke Skywalker would be like Mega you know
Speaker 1: as opposed to like that. It just feels like it's
Speaker 1: that's we're in a weird new era where I don't know,
Speaker 1: I guess that's what the social media as the social
Speaker 1: media air we're in. We're in all these pockets of
Speaker 1: echo chambers where everyone thinks that they are the underdog.
Speaker 1: People don't actually understand power anymore and how it operates
Speaker 1: because we're also cut off. Right, It's just become this
Speaker 1: like abstraction that people fantasize about and like have. Everyone
Speaker 1: has their own weird version of it, like they're they're
Speaker 1: all the world exact exactly not seeing Dryland. Weird man,
Speaker 1: I mean the white genocide fears that got stoked during
Speaker 1: the Trump presidency and election even and um that continue,
Speaker 1: and like the people's bizarre conspiracy theories about the vaccine,
Speaker 1: the vaccines and their relationship, like it just goes on
Speaker 1: and on. Yeah, well you know see how it ends.
Speaker 1: Pop some popcorn hopefully walk out of this. Yeah, Zara,
Speaker 1: it's been a pleasure of having you as always. I'm
Speaker 1: always here for the good news. Can find me and

Speaker 1: of energy is that to bring to a fucking butts

Speaker 1: like oh I need more please, And like, man, he's
Speaker 1: hiding all that ship behind the fence when the bus
Speaker 1: goes by. Crows are smart. I don't disbelieve the person

Speaker 1: to be outraged as as opposed to sort of impressed.
Speaker 1: Don't he had? Like I was, was this person given
Speaker 1: to this crow that they're like could you imagine? Hey? Yeah?
