Speaker 1: Please welcome back to the show, greta title man. My goodness,
Speaker 1: I want you to know that Mother and Child are
Speaker 1: Union by Paul Simon is like one of my favorite
Speaker 1: Paul Simon songs. Yeah, yeah, it's a good one. It
Speaker 1: opens up with that egg beater guitar. It is a
Speaker 1: little bit of a deep cut. It's a deep cut,
Speaker 1: but it's it really does hit. And also I ride
Speaker 1: very hard for Subway too. Now there we go. We'll
Speaker 1: look at that about me a little bit about me.
Speaker 1: So so I'm not I'm not the biggest ball Simon fan,
Speaker 1: Like I know a good amount of the songs. But
Speaker 1: how did you how do you how did you come
Speaker 1: into contact with your most favorite child and Daughter reunion song? Like,
Speaker 1: how did you end up interacting with it? With that
Speaker 1: Paul Simon's Yeah, yeah, because I'm hearing it's a deep cup.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, is it just one of those things
Speaker 1: if you grew up around Simon parents, it was just
Speaker 1: blasting or something. Yeah. I also think that, like there's
Speaker 1: something a very East Coast summertime about listening to Paul Simon,
Speaker 1: James Taylor. If you grew up, if you were born
Speaker 1: in the window of like nineteen eighty to nineteen, I'm
Speaker 1: going to give you a fifteen year window. I feel
Speaker 1: like you had exposure at some point in an East
Speaker 1: Coast summer to listening to yeah, like Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen,
Speaker 1: James Taylor. Little Billy was kind of a year round
Speaker 1: for my family. Yeah, we were a big greatest Hits family.
Speaker 1: We had all the ready to set up for like
Speaker 1: all of those people. So I had very you know,
Speaker 1: I wasn't going beyond that it's very like white East
Speaker 1: Coast family vibes, is how I would just because you
Speaker 1: know her Majesty, who also grew up in the same
Speaker 1: reason you did. She like she was. She always puts
Speaker 1: on Paul Simon like on an oblong car ride. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, my dad always just used to play it.
Speaker 1: This is this is some nailed on cultural ship. It's
Speaker 1: very like we're we're hot that where we still have
Speaker 1: the A C going, but it's so humid that we
Speaker 1: can't avoid it. We're in the car four hours, we're
Speaker 1: driving to Rehobeth. We're listening to you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to Rehoba personally. We were were of a Nantucket
Speaker 1: family are, but I want with that Delaware accent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going back to the Jersey Shore in about a
Speaker 1: week and a half, so annual pilgrimage Manco Manco Pizza,
Speaker 1: the boards were gonna go the boards. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: some Manco and Manco and uh yeah, I'm I'm pumped.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. And and then a week in Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: My dad's from Pittsburg. Really, my in laws are from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: And there we go and I grew up in Wheeling,
Speaker 1: West Virginia, which is like kind of a suburb, sneaky
Speaker 1: suburb of Pittsburgh. Anyway, we're all we're all connected. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better. We're
Speaker 1: all connected in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our
Speaker 1: listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about just the mainstream media articles in the aftermath
Speaker 1: of Row being overturned and how they're covering the case
Speaker 1: of the ten year old rape victim who cross state
Speaker 1: lines to get a legal abortion, and just the way
Speaker 1: that that's being covered miscovered and yeah, just where we're at,
Speaker 1: where we're at with the mainstream media, not just the
Speaker 1: right wing, the mainstream media as well. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about subway tuna gate. We have new developments that are shocking.
Speaker 1: It's tuna, all right, It's not not a tuna. It
Speaker 1: is tuna, and maybe some other things. And we'll talk
Speaker 1: about major League Baseball. Have it's like the one year
Speaker 1: at one time a year when it's okay to talk
Speaker 1: about Major League Baseball because the All Star Game is happening,
Speaker 1: and did you know that ship was happening in l A.
Speaker 1: And I know because like all the people who like
Speaker 1: work at Dodger Stadium authorized to strike that like could
Speaker 1: have I don't know if it yeah stadium, but it's yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like a news peg with it because like somebody
Speaker 1: hit me up and was like, hey, man, like I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of paying absurd amounts of money to go to
Speaker 1: the men swing sticks the home run Derby. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: am so not invested in baseball at all. Like all sports,
Speaker 1: I love watching sports. I love hockey, I love tennis,
Speaker 1: I love basketball. I will watch football, but like, for
Speaker 1: some reason, baseball is just so long. It's but I
Speaker 1: think that like an all star situation, I could be into,
Speaker 1: Yeah there's stuff happening. The home run Derby is like
Speaker 1: basically what baseball should be if they like made baseball
Speaker 1: again today like that, I feel like that's what it
Speaker 1: would be. It's just people trying to hit as many
Speaker 1: home runs as possible. But yeah, I I couldn't go.
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to go, but him inviting me
Speaker 1: was the first I had learned that it was in
Speaker 1: l A. L is like the snobbyat Sports City. It's
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, everything's overpriced, like for sports you know,
Speaker 1: like that's the problem. It's a very you know, it's
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers are like one of the few places
Speaker 1: you can go and not like go bankrupt, enjoying a
Speaker 1: day at the day at Anyways, depending on how good
Speaker 1: my seats where I might have caught COVID is what
Speaker 1: is the moral of the story, Because it seems like
Speaker 1: half of Major League Baseball players are unvaccinated, and it's
Speaker 1: the American half. It's all. It's all the dudes from
Speaker 1: America are like, I'm vaccinated. It's pretty funny. We'll get
Speaker 1: to all of that plenty more. But first, Greta, we
Speaker 1: like to ask our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history? Well, obviously being very topical, I was searching
Speaker 1: this morning j Lo and Ben Afflecks wedding. Yes, I
Speaker 1: can't believe it happened, you know, I felt like, is
Speaker 1: this the most interesting thing about my personality? Is anyone
Speaker 1: going to glean anything about, you know, the mystery that
Speaker 1: I shroud myself in as Greta titleman, You don't know,
Speaker 1: but it's important nonetheless, and I think it's something that
Speaker 1: the Daily zey guys, you know, it isn't the Daily
Speaker 1: I guess it's very important, big piece of pop culture.
Speaker 1: And she confirmed that she changed her name to Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lynn Affleck. No, that's wild, right, Like that is what
Speaker 1: an amazing a wild swing. She's now just Jaffleck. She's Jaffleck.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're going to get a duck to
Speaker 1: quack jack black jafflack. Yeah. Wow. Wait, so her middle
Speaker 1: name is Lynn. He said, her name is Lynn. She
Speaker 1: was always Jennifer Lynn Lopez, but now she's Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
Speaker 1: And to me, I was really taken aback. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh damn, she took the took the last name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't have a last name. I
Speaker 1: love it, but I'm like, honey, I'm not taking anybody's
Speaker 1: last name to paper work alone. And I got a
Speaker 1: good thing going with this yet, like all knew everything cards, no, no,
Speaker 1: no social Security, You're out of your mind, Like what's
Speaker 1: I mean? I guess she's not really dealing with that.
Speaker 1: She has like a team of people that are executing
Speaker 1: on that for her. But still it's like she never
Speaker 1: became you know, she's been j LO for so long,
Speaker 1: I mean still will be j Lo forever. But I
Speaker 1: hope I mean, I hope that's a signal that this
Speaker 1: is enduring, that this isn't some flash in the pan thing,
Speaker 1: that this is there like for her, she's like to
Speaker 1: show yo, like I really feel good about this man
Speaker 1: with the phoenix tattoo on his back. I think that
Speaker 1: I think that they are like really legit and love
Speaker 1: I really do. I feel like to come back around
Speaker 1: twenty years later, like there's something there, you know, and
Speaker 1: they've been and they've been through a lot too, like
Speaker 1: they've had their share of like shitty like marriages, So
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, it does feel like that thing
Speaker 1: where it's like like in a rom com where they
Speaker 1: have to go through like the other dating scenarios to
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, in the end, it was
Speaker 1: all about this one me and Jaffleck and also the
Speaker 1: sign of a true like icon and media just genius
Speaker 1: that like the that is the thing that could. I
Speaker 1: would not have noticed this story had it not been
Speaker 1: for her actually taking his name, which was even though
Speaker 1: it's like the traditional thing, was the most unexpected thing
Speaker 1: she could have done, Like it seems so strange that
Speaker 1: she would take his last name. She's like a bigger
Speaker 1: star than he is. Kind of a lot. I like
Speaker 1: how we have like this Game of Thrones, like conception
Speaker 1: of this marriage, Like she would sully her name without well,
Speaker 1: because you know, when you become an icon of that status,
Speaker 1: you are your name. Like there are very few people.
Speaker 1: It's literally like share Beyonce j Lo. It's like there
Speaker 1: are very few people that are singular in their name
Speaker 1: and then to like change it, it's it's, you know whatever.
Speaker 1: I guess not many people are like calling her Jennifer
Speaker 1: Lopez necessarily they're calling her j Lo. So like that
Speaker 1: that is still there. That's a good point. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: in a way, maybe it's cowardly. It's like, you know what,
Speaker 1: until you start going by Jennifer Affleck in public, it
Speaker 1: is meaningless. When I saw Jennifer Affleck, I thought it
Speaker 1: was Jennifer Garner. I was like, wait, Jennifer Garner changed
Speaker 1: her name back then, And I don't even I don't
Speaker 1: even think Jennifer Garner changed her name to Jeffer Affleck.
Speaker 1: That'd be wild, if that would be wild, if he
Speaker 1: was going around just creating Jennifer Afflecks, collected collecting Jens
Speaker 1: k He's like, I will turn every Jennifer in the
Speaker 1: United States to Jennifer Affleck. Hey, Jenny, you ever think
Speaker 1: about changing your name to Jennifer. No, it's not asking
Speaker 1: me that, Ben, But I was gonna say something and
Speaker 1: then I forgot about names and that was really dumb.
Speaker 1: And I don't know why I said. I was gonna
Speaker 1: say something. And then brand you should go by Jennifer
Speaker 1: Affleck and not j Lo. Why she's Ben Affleck Beyonce.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I was. I don't know what
Speaker 1: I was. It'll come, but I mean, here's what I
Speaker 1: will say. When Kim Kardashian West changed her name back
Speaker 1: to Kim Kardashian, what a branding nightmare she had built,
Speaker 1: like KKW Beauty and all these other things, and then
Speaker 1: she has since relaunched everything else. But it's kind of
Speaker 1: like it's hard. It's hard to counterpoint. It's like when
Speaker 1: you know an athlete can change their jersey number and
Speaker 1: just so more jerseys because they're like, well, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: this new number now, and like fun, when I gotta
Speaker 1: buy this version. I remembered what I was going to say.
Speaker 1: When Mariah Carey married Nick Cannon and Nick Cannon got
Speaker 1: Mariah tattooed from literally shoulder to shoulder across his back,
Speaker 1: and she got MC tattooed on her wrist for her
Speaker 1: new initials, even though they were the same as her oldnessials.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's the hat right there when first
Speaker 1: sent Mariah carry delivering, delivering full Mariah carry. Oh that's
Speaker 1: so nice, funny. Here's what I did. I got one too.
Speaker 1: But those are your initials, yeah, Mariah Cannon, right, and
Speaker 1: I'd like you to write my vows as well as yours.
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's the vibes I'm getting from that. What
Speaker 1: is something you think is underrated? Hot dogs? Oh? Why
Speaker 1: is this? Is this? Has someone brought this up? No? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: not at all. I think the closest we got to
Speaker 1: was putting a banana and a hot dog with peanut
Speaker 1: butter and jelly. Little insight to my weekend. Jack sent
Speaker 1: me a picture of a on the air banana embriosh
Speaker 1: when you Tella, and he did it and he got
Speaker 1: the approval of children. I'm like, I'm stoner chef goat.
Speaker 1: Yeah anyway, yeah, g lizzi ak the Miles Gray, the crazy.
Speaker 1: You know, here's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this hot dogs underrated, hamburgers overrated. It's barbecue season. I'm
Speaker 1: just here to tell everyone I don't like coming to
Speaker 1: your barbecue and not being presented with a hot dog
Speaker 1: like me. Yeah, they're delicious when you it's a it's
Speaker 1: a special food. It's a summer food. It's like, you know, seasonal,
Speaker 1: it's a seasonal delight. In my mind, I'm not eating
Speaker 1: a hot dog in winter, hamburger in winter, you know what.
Speaker 1: I love a hot dog in summer because to me,
Speaker 1: nothing says summer like a crispy dog on an open
Speaker 1: flame in a Martin's potato roll. Honey, Okay, okay, what's wait?
Speaker 1: What kind of frank are we talking? You've got specific
Speaker 1: with the bone? What kind of frank? Yes? So I
Speaker 1: like this from a German butcher shop in spram Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: They make really good hot dogs and that's what my
Speaker 1: aunt gets, and those things are really good. But you know,
Speaker 1: get your local butcher shop hot dog, get a good dog.
Speaker 1: If you can't funk with that, I don't care. Give
Speaker 1: me an all beef hebrew, Natty, give me a ballpark fight, Nathan, sure,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be I'm not. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be crazy over here. I just want the option. I
Speaker 1: want it to be charred on the grill, put it
Speaker 1: on a little bun, give me catch up mustard, relish,
Speaker 1: chopped onion. If we're feeling crazy, hot dogs are almost
Speaker 1: unfunck upable too, like there, I mean there's probably varying levels,
Speaker 1: but like the worst hot dog is like a four
Speaker 1: out of ten on the like what delivering on your
Speaker 1: expectations for a hot dog chart, Whereas like a bad burger,
Speaker 1: it's a bad burgers. It's gross. It makes you like
Speaker 1: I want to throw up. I will say, have you
Speaker 1: ever inspiral cut a hot dug? No? Is that like
Speaker 1: when you just around it? Yeah, like if you take
Speaker 1: hot a link and then you just kind of rotated
Speaker 1: along your knife blade and get it like a nice
Speaker 1: spiral cut down. So when you grill it, you get
Speaker 1: more surface area that chars up because I like, I
Speaker 1: like a little bit of char crunchy to it. So
Speaker 1: by doing that, it like kind of even lengthens in
Speaker 1: a little bit. So if you have a longer bun,
Speaker 1: it'll fit your bun, get more charged surface area. Anyway,
Speaker 1: try it. It's a delight birth and more length honey
Speaker 1: on that hot dog. And that's what we're always looking
Speaker 1: at through subtraction. What does that come out? Does it
Speaker 1: come out as like it curly? Like? Does it look
Speaker 1: like a pig's tail? Depending on how deep you cut
Speaker 1: it right, Like if you go too deep, like it
Speaker 1: will get a little fucking spooky. But as long as
Speaker 1: if you can kind of get that, it's like the
Speaker 1: way you could do it is like take like a
Speaker 1: like a kebab skewer or something like skewer through it.
Speaker 1: That way, you know you won't cut fully through because
Speaker 1: you have that in the core of it. Also, if
Speaker 1: you want to go further, you render some bacon fat
Speaker 1: and you pan fry that ship in the rendered bacon fat,
Speaker 1: and you've got you've got like a ripper that isn't
Speaker 1: quite a ripper anyway. That's you know what I cannot
Speaker 1: get behind. And I saw it on TikTok people slicing
Speaker 1: the middle of hot dogs, opening it up, filling it
Speaker 1: with burger meat and aking like a hamburger hot Dogma. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's like, let's just give me a good hot dog.
Speaker 1: And that's it. Heard, heard, Yeah, the Internet needs to
Speaker 1: just shut the funk up. Every once in a while. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just go go go grill with some human beings and
Speaker 1: that bullshit. If I come to your barbecue and you
Speaker 1: are giving me some Frankenstein's monster like hot dog hamburger combo,
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. I not you. You scare me as an individual.
Speaker 1: That is an aggressive act of violence towards you. If
Speaker 1: you if you're experimenting on me with your TikTok bullshit,
Speaker 1: No no, no, unless you're like, wait to try it
Speaker 1: and it actually pays off, but otherwise please spare me. No.
Speaker 1: And also, I'm gonna put it out there a little
Speaker 1: cruel to the animals, like it adds like a layer
Speaker 1: of animal cruel like humiliation to the animal cruel, the
Speaker 1: normal animal cruelty that we're condoning by like eating the
Speaker 1: animals to be like I'm gonna stick you inside of
Speaker 1: you and it's just like, come on, man, is it?
Speaker 1: How does it rank next to a mother And it's
Speaker 1: still worse and chowder reunions still worse than wrapping a
Speaker 1: hot dog and ground beef. A mother and chowder union
Speaker 1: being taking a chicken, egg and chicken and eating it together.
Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying, Yeah, that's fucking disgusting that
Speaker 1: now I'm just going to take a mother and job.
Speaker 1: That's what that about. That's what that song is about
Speaker 1: from Japan. It's when he was on tour in Japan,
Speaker 1: he was offered oyak body, Hey, we do know he
Speaker 1: likes to take quote inspiration from going to foreign countries. Great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a good he's a he's a skilled thief out
Speaker 1: but voice like an angel. Alright, let's take a quick break,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, we'll talk about Politico, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and I think it's pretty well made the rounds. But
Speaker 1: you know, truly horrifying turn of events, entirely predictable, probably
Speaker 1: happening more frequently than people realize. That ten year old
Speaker 1: rape victim across the airlines to get a legal abortion
Speaker 1: in Indiana because it was illegal in her home state
Speaker 1: of Ohio. And this was reported in the Indianapolis Star,
Speaker 1: and they the right immediately like started claiming it was
Speaker 1: fake news and bullshit. But actually the first people to
Speaker 1: claim it was fake news was the Washington Post, Like
Speaker 1: because so so Biden cited the article when he was
Speaker 1: like doing his speech about his executive order. Was it
Speaker 1: was that the speech where he was like again, read
Speaker 1: again for emphasis or whatever, and when I when I
Speaker 1: was out, Yeah, so he the Washington Post, like, I
Speaker 1: guess they really wanted to like give Biden a couple
Speaker 1: of pinocchios or whatever the funk they do there, so
Speaker 1: they like did this fact check where they were like
Speaker 1: Glenn Glenn Kessler from the Washington Post was like a
Speaker 1: one source story about a ten year old and an
Speaker 1: abortion goes viral and was just kept leaning on the
Speaker 1: fact that it was a one source story, which it
Speaker 1: was Binnus City, because it is about a ten year old,
Speaker 1: you fucking gool like that it needs to be about
Speaker 1: a ten year old. And also it's about a ten
Speaker 1: year old who is technically like doing something that some people,
Speaker 1: like powerful people in her state would think is illegal
Speaker 1: and want to make illegal. So the head of the
Speaker 1: Neemon Labrad an article about how, you know, journalists need
Speaker 1: to get comfortable with writing stories where there's not like
Speaker 1: the thorough sourcing that they're used to, because now a
Speaker 1: bunch of Americans are living in a state where just
Speaker 1: like getting healthcare, life saving healthcare is illegal, um, and
Speaker 1: everybody's fucking terrified of going to jail. So, like I
Speaker 1: I think that's a very good point. I think it's
Speaker 1: like probably a deeper thing, but I don't know what
Speaker 1: I mean. A lot of it's born out of people
Speaker 1: like Jesse Water has been like this story sounds like
Speaker 1: he's on Fox thinking like it's unimaginable, like that this
Speaker 1: would happen. But that's the point that lower Hazard owned
Speaker 1: from the Nemon Lab is saying. It's like, yes, there
Speaker 1: will continue to be these quote unimaginable stories because we're
Speaker 1: unfortunately in a time where this is happening, and to
Speaker 1: act like you have to sort of rely on these
Speaker 1: old conventions of like, well, how many stories can or
Speaker 1: how many people can we site to do it, and
Speaker 1: if we can't, then we just need to call it fake.
Speaker 1: That's massively dangerous and it and it does. It does
Speaker 1: a disservice to the people who are fighting for their
Speaker 1: reproductive rights. Also, we're talking about a child, like I mean,
Speaker 1: at the way we were talking about anyone and I
Speaker 1: would still feel the same way. But it's like talking
Speaker 1: about a ten year old here, like a ten year
Speaker 1: old where the eyes of some legislators in the state,
Speaker 1: they want her to be deemed a murderer. They want
Speaker 1: her to face murder charges a ten year old. Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It makes me so sick, so sick that I'm just
Speaker 1: it's like it's unfathomable to me, and I think that
Speaker 1: there is a huge problem with mainstream media across the board.
Speaker 1: It's like it's not it's no to me. It's no
Speaker 1: longer just a black and white like, oh of course
Speaker 1: it's Fox being crazy. Yeah, it's like the fucking Washington
Speaker 1: Post too. It's like, what's going on? Everyone's lost their mind.
Speaker 1: An abortion by a ten year old is pretty rare,
Speaker 1: Kessler notes, So first of all, by a ten year old,
Speaker 1: you motherfucker, Like what are you talking about? And second
Speaker 1: of all, the Columbus Dispatch for reporting people under the
Speaker 1: age of fifteen receiving an abortion in Ohio that year,
Speaker 1: So that's weekly, bro, Like what what do you? What
Speaker 1: are you saying? Is rare? Like that's that's rare to
Speaker 1: the point that you're like good, You're like, we're good here.
Speaker 1: It's wild because it's like they're like in a way
Speaker 1: they they like report on this stuff. It's like they
Speaker 1: they don't want to accept the reality that they may
Speaker 1: have created. By like both sides, NG people who talk
Speaker 1: like this for decades, And I think that's what like
Speaker 1: even a Greta's point is that so many of these
Speaker 1: write ups are caught up into like this is a
Speaker 1: bad look for the GOP or like, oh maybe Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's line completely misses the point that a child is
Speaker 1: having to be in one of the most distressful moments
Speaker 1: of their life and living in a state that would
Speaker 1: treat them hostile and you know that this is this
Speaker 1: is all occurring at the same time, but we're focusing
Speaker 1: on like the horse race of like electoral politics rather
Speaker 1: than like the humanity of people having their rights curtailed.
Speaker 1: And that's what's I think the biggest disservice with all
Speaker 1: the coverages, like rather than constant pointing out objectively doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be an opinion piece that these people have
Speaker 1: a plan to take away your rights, just point by point.
Speaker 1: But it's always like, well, you know, what is this,
Speaker 1: what is this? How is this going to play? I've
Speaker 1: heard like a bunch of voice movement think of it
Speaker 1: when the stories about how it's like fading, the impact
Speaker 1: is fading of the overturning of row like as a
Speaker 1: political thing, like just talking about the fucking like voting
Speaker 1: and how much people are going to vote. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: we've just seen already, like states like Idaho, the Republican
Speaker 1: Party is already changing the platform of the party to
Speaker 1: include like forced birth and like the most violent anti
Speaker 1: trans stuff. So I don't know if that's fading and't
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they mean unless that's a salve
Speaker 1: for you to continue to you know, sort of bury
Speaker 1: your head in the sand over what's actually occurring in
Speaker 1: real time right now now, they mean it's fading in
Speaker 1: terms of like making democrats care about voting, like just
Speaker 1: like giving it up for a lost cause, being like
Speaker 1: and is this isn't the most impactful like decision that
Speaker 1: voters think about when going to the polls. So like
Speaker 1: it's just they're both sides in it and also just
Speaker 1: telling a version of events where it's like, but this
Speaker 1: is the way it is, folks, And it's they're talking
Speaker 1: about fucking the most inhumane, fucking like anti human bullshit,
Speaker 1: Like it's crazy. I do think though, that the question
Speaker 1: that remains, especially for I mean younger generation of voters,
Speaker 1: is like doesn't matter, right, And I think that when
Speaker 1: we watch, you know, people make decisions for a country
Speaker 1: where the majority of the country is against the decision.
Speaker 1: It does make you feel like, well, what the funk
Speaker 1: is the point? Yeah, I think that's a huge mind
Speaker 1: funk for a lot of people. And I think that
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm definitely extremely concerned about, especially with
Speaker 1: the midterms and everything coming up and who's going to
Speaker 1: be running for president, and it's just it's all just
Speaker 1: so scary and volatile, ale and sad, and I think
Speaker 1: that we're so so, so so so beyond divided that
Speaker 1: it's almost like we've become desensitized to these issues that
Speaker 1: are humanitarian crisis, climate crisis, all these things that are
Speaker 1: so much bigger than whether or not you're a fucking
Speaker 1: right or left winger. It's like, well, it's just we're
Speaker 1: seeing this play out in like multiple arenas right where
Speaker 1: like the accepted wisdom of the twentieth century or way
Speaker 1: of doing things worked for the twentieth century, we are
Speaker 1: now in a completely different place. Like whether that's the
Speaker 1: pandemic and how to handle the pandemic, and like the
Speaker 1: the economics of a pandemic. There are so many ways
Speaker 1: that people need to begin thinking about how we do
Speaker 1: things in new ways, but it's everything is being done
Speaker 1: like just in the status quo way, and now people wondering,
Speaker 1: like why nothing works the way it does, Like we
Speaker 1: don't have a media apparatus that can properly convey to
Speaker 1: people what is actually happening and who is responsible because
Speaker 1: it's trapped in this like very like kumbaya, like Republicans
Speaker 1: and Democrats can't get along, and we don't want to
Speaker 1: take shots at people who are actively trying to harm
Speaker 1: others and take away their rights, and we're not able
Speaker 1: to authentically describe those kinds of actions for what they are.
Speaker 1: And then even with you know, with stories like this,
Speaker 1: they're finding themselves in places where they're looking at a
Speaker 1: situation now where you know, the the activities of potentially
Speaker 1: like anyone with a uterus in this country could become illegal,
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, how do you report that stuff?
Speaker 1: Like is anyone gonna want to talk to us because
Speaker 1: I need like nine on their record sources. If not,
Speaker 1: what's the point of reporting it. It's like, well, the
Speaker 1: point of reporting it is to let people know the
Speaker 1: state of things across the country. And it's grim for
Speaker 1: a lot of people, but you know, we also have
Speaker 1: a lot of you know these like these journalists journalistic
Speaker 1: outlets are in places where the threats aren't necessarily the same.
Speaker 1: So it's all morphed into this way. That isn't it's
Speaker 1: not nothing is properly working. Right the New York there's
Speaker 1: a New York Times piece that does a good job
Speaker 1: of like it talks about the ten year old case
Speaker 1: that talks about a person who had a miscarriage and
Speaker 1: had to fly from Texas to Colorado and like, spend
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars a fly to Colorado for an abortion,
Speaker 1: sitting in the front row so that she could reach
Speaker 1: the bathroom quickly in case she had to deliver like
Speaker 1: good details, good like journalism of like what this ship
Speaker 1: actually looks like in people's lives. And that story is
Speaker 1: in the opinion section. And it's an opinion column because
Speaker 1: the facts of the article so strongly support one side's
Speaker 1: argument that it has to go in the opinion section
Speaker 1: rather than being like twenty point front across front, across
Speaker 1: the front of the newspaper the way it fucking deserves
Speaker 1: to be when there are human rights violations happening by
Speaker 1: like your government, like the and yeah, I mean my
Speaker 1: as you alluded to this like political article, like this
Speaker 1: idea of like they they have these quotes from these
Speaker 1: like Republican strategists about the ten year old case and
Speaker 1: they're like, I'm not touching this story with a ten
Speaker 1: foot poll wrapped in a blanket, wrapped in oh whatever.
Speaker 1: And it's just like it's like and the piece itself
Speaker 1: is like the case has become an instant flashpoint in
Speaker 1: the nation's abortion wore is alarming Republicans as they try
Speaker 1: to use abortion to rally base voters without alienating the
Speaker 1: majority of Americans who say abortion should remain legal. It's
Speaker 1: like reading coverage of how the Rwandan genocide is like
Speaker 1: a politically risky gambit for the Hutus or it's it's
Speaker 1: like what you are living in a fucking nightmare and
Speaker 1: you're talking about like it's political optics. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like it feels like it's just a symptom
Speaker 1: of how the United States operates, right, Like we've thoroughly
Speaker 1: valued the what that what a human life is worth
Speaker 1: just in the name of profit and like wars of
Speaker 1: conquest and things like that. That it it's poisons even
Speaker 1: how we talk about what's happening with each other. Like
Speaker 1: it's just even like, yeah, well that's not a bad
Speaker 1: that's a bad look. I'm not sure what the human
Speaker 1: cost is because that never factors into a single thing
Speaker 1: that is done in this country. And it's like that's
Speaker 1: how you see this reporting play out to the point
Speaker 1: where like you're saying, oh, that's like it's almost like
Speaker 1: a hot take or an opinion to like thoroughly describe
Speaker 1: the situation a human being is in because like, well
Speaker 1: that's too that's too compelling for one side, Like what
Speaker 1: the funk? That's the truth and that's what people need
Speaker 1: to know. It's just a general avoidance of not wanting
Speaker 1: to talk about the reality that now we're all going
Speaker 1: to be living in. It's like, while you can't, you
Speaker 1: either need to be able to talk about the reality
Speaker 1: that these people built for us or maybe assess why
Speaker 1: it should never happened in the first place. And I
Speaker 1: just think it's just the cowardice and the general avoidance
Speaker 1: of being able to be like, yep, we're dealing with
Speaker 1: the fact that a ten year old a child is pregnant.
Speaker 1: We're not even talking about how or why what those
Speaker 1: circumstances are and you know I can't. I literally like
Speaker 1: I can't even It makes me so mad and hopeless
Speaker 1: as a woman, like I like, we just don't have rights. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as a woman. As a child, I mean like as
Speaker 1: a child, you don't have rights. As a woman, you
Speaker 1: don't have rights. But don't worry. You're unborn baby has
Speaker 1: more rights than you do. So right, even if it
Speaker 1: costs everyone in their life in much case, what is
Speaker 1: that all for? And you know there's even the idea
Speaker 1: that people are like, there's like an article in the
Speaker 1: New Republics like, don't don't expect the corporations to save
Speaker 1: you either. Definitely, you know because even the beginning where
Speaker 1: they were like, hey, if you if you're subservient to
Speaker 1: our corporate enterprise, we will give you the protection of healthcare.
Speaker 1: And you know there's already companies like Facebook and like
Speaker 1: Snapchat or whatever, they've been real coy about what they
Speaker 1: do with user data as it relates to this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. And you know, at every level, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: You look at things and you're like Jesus, what what
Speaker 1: where does the the bit of like respite come from?
Speaker 1: And yeah, the more you think about it's like it's
Speaker 1: you know, having to accept that the leadership is really
Speaker 1: unable to do those things and having to you know,
Speaker 1: figure out, like as human beings, how to do that
Speaker 1: for each other. And it's just it's all just very
Speaker 1: new for people who I think are used to this
Speaker 1: idea that it's like, yeah, yeah, you vote for these
Speaker 1: things and then these very basic rights stay in place,
Speaker 1: and you know, they can bicker about the other things
Speaker 1: going on, but yeah, there's not much to protect us
Speaker 1: these days. The idea that this is like not a
Speaker 1: politically like that it's not gonna win elections, or that
Speaker 1: it's like becoming us impactful with voters, or it's not
Speaker 1: like the main like people vote with their wallet and
Speaker 1: they're going to vote based on what they see at
Speaker 1: the guests prices. Like that's being said by the same
Speaker 1: people who are covering this story in such like an
Speaker 1: unaccountably like drab and bland way that makes it seem
Speaker 1: like we live in like an unbreakable system where this
Speaker 1: is just like part of a game. But it does
Speaker 1: feel that way. It does feel like we live in
Speaker 1: an unbreakable system sometimes, and I think that it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maddening. It is maddening for sure. But
Speaker 1: like I think the fact that our entire corporate media
Speaker 1: apparatus is just speaking in terms of like wins and
Speaker 1: losses and like optics and who's gonna win and who's
Speaker 1: gonna lose. Like it just like they they've lost person active.
Speaker 1: They they have lost like any sort of sense of proportion.
Speaker 1: I feel like, and it's I don't know. And it
Speaker 1: then instead of covering it like a human rights crisis,
Speaker 1: they're covering it like a politically like risky gambit by
Speaker 1: the fucking Republicans. Yeah, I mean you saw how much
Speaker 1: you know, like even the invasion of Ukraine by Russia
Speaker 1: got a lot of that got a lot of like inches.
Speaker 1: But people saying like this is terrible, this is a
Speaker 1: human rights violation, and you know because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, that benefits a military industrial complex. So
Speaker 1: there's a reason to cover that in a way that
Speaker 1: like like urgency and action has to be part of
Speaker 1: like the narrative around it. And you look at something
Speaker 1: like this and it's you like, it's it's it's clear
Speaker 1: that like just the idea that protecting or uh sanctifying
Speaker 1: someone's humanity and what their physical rights are and like
Speaker 1: the curtailing of that isn't like this top of the
Speaker 1: line issue every single day for the people who are
Speaker 1: you know, communicating to like you know, the public that
Speaker 1: that rely on them to know what's going on. That
Speaker 1: makes it Yeah, it just makes it feel very uh yeah,
Speaker 1: just you can you realize what is more important at times?
Speaker 1: And again, like we're reminded over and over there's no
Speaker 1: amount of climate change death or child shooting deaths or
Speaker 1: things like that that can really affect things, because you know,
Speaker 1: it's not always it's not always like a profitable thing
Speaker 1: to say, like kids just like we need less guns
Speaker 1: so children can be safe, or we need less god
Speaker 1: damn fossil fuel extraction so we can have a planet
Speaker 1: for people down the road. But greted your point about
Speaker 1: like it does feel like this unbroken, unbreakable system that
Speaker 1: it just like what refuses to like hear what we're saying,
Speaker 1: or like refused to observe our humanity. Like there are
Speaker 1: times when people like break through that and all they
Speaker 1: do is just like change it to be like no,
Speaker 1: so like this thing is obviously fucking insane that like
Speaker 1: you know, like Bernie Sanders or AOC or you know
Speaker 1: any of the people who like have a stance that
Speaker 1: is like, no, this isn't a given, Like this shouldn't
Speaker 1: be a given. The these are like wide open, blatant
Speaker 1: like ways we're being mistreated and like, here are some
Speaker 1: things we could do about it. And like the thing
Speaker 1: that makes it feels so much like it's unchangeable and
Speaker 1: unbreakable and like, you know, not even worth like imagining
Speaker 1: a different way is that the entire mainstream media like
Speaker 1: just ignores the fuck out of those people, like just completely,
Speaker 1: and so the way they talk about things is completely
Speaker 1: in the in this other way that just makes it's
Speaker 1: like designed to sap you of all like imagination and energy.
Speaker 1: I feel like that capital the money, Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: very good at what it does, capitalism because I mean
Speaker 1: even then they can't even describe like the forces of
Speaker 1: it all that play out like on top of it.
Speaker 1: It's like every single issue or it's like misogyny or
Speaker 1: white supremacy or whatever, Like it's like these concepts that
Speaker 1: are as clear as fucking day. And even then they're like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, some people think women or people with uterus
Speaker 1: is aren't fucking human. And we get this like very
Speaker 1: obscure retelling of what we're experiencing. It. Yeah, it unfortunately
Speaker 1: keeps a lot of people like in a position of
Speaker 1: like questioning and wondering like what's going on, versus being
Speaker 1: able to tell people this is what's going on and
Speaker 1: this is what needs to change. All right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back
Speaker 1: Tunic Gate. It's back. It's the story that you know,
Speaker 1: I think, Miles you said, it's the story that like
Speaker 1: is number one on your list of just like ballad initiatives,
Speaker 1: like things that you're concerned about, yes, like well, and
Speaker 1: also the thing that most frequently is like gang tax
Speaker 1: men on Twitter, Instagram, anything is happening with subway tuna.
Speaker 1: They either I have my supporters who are like they
Speaker 1: can't hold us down, or I have peeple been like
Speaker 1: is this your king ride? Oh yeah, it's so good
Speaker 1: until the fucking Finns come off. Okay, oh wow, I've
Speaker 1: never had anyway. Okay, I've always look, I'm just shoveling
Speaker 1: it into my house, my mouth with my hands. You
Speaker 1: just say no bread exactly, I'm like, you just give
Speaker 1: me the back and take a little sonship on the side.
Speaker 1: Give a little French onion sonship. Yeah, affect and a
Speaker 1: moose bush is what we call its delicious. But yeah,
Speaker 1: people know I love the subway tune. I love all.
Speaker 1: I love tuna sandwiches. I grew up eating tuna sandwiches
Speaker 1: as a kid, Like when I had like that little
Speaker 1: moment where I had a little bit of pocket money
Speaker 1: as like a preteen and like on my bike and
Speaker 1: like you could go to subway. That was like me
Speaker 1: feeling like an adult. I'm like, I have experience with
Speaker 1: tuna sandwich and I will now I will now order
Speaker 1: this rather mean, like mom, what do I like here?
Speaker 1: So I have like this, this connection with the subway tuna.
Speaker 1: Now people in the briefcase, I'm just picturing the little
Speaker 1: Miles riding his bike carrying a briefcase just dripping out
Speaker 1: of the beeray well, like wet mayo drips. Man. Remember
Speaker 1: the old wrapping paper that they used to have, like
Speaker 1: old Victorian drawings of like the early New York subway
Speaker 1: from our real heads when they were doing the U
Speaker 1: gouge and cutting the U shaped like hole at the
Speaker 1: top and then not downtime. I forgot about that. I
Speaker 1: forgot about that. What the you gouge? Okay, so if
Speaker 1: you were if you look now, people becut. They take
Speaker 1: the bread and they just slice it down the side.
Speaker 1: And people back in the day they used to cut around.
Speaker 1: They would like lay it like this and cut around
Speaker 1: the tops and so it was gouged out in a
Speaker 1: U shape like a giant bread. Forget remember the little top.
Speaker 1: If they funk, if they weren't a real artist with it,
Speaker 1: that you the top would be like mad thing. It
Speaker 1: would just like be soaked in like two seconds. Anyway,
Speaker 1: all that to say is, yeah, well the gouge those
Speaker 1: knives really well. It was like pumpkin carving knock. This
Speaker 1: lawsuit hit like like about a year ago. It's like
Speaker 1: where these people are alleging Subway is fucking lying. There
Speaker 1: was no tuneo. We took it to get DNA tested.
Speaker 1: They said, this is what the funk is. This is
Speaker 1: what the lab results said. And the story came back
Speaker 1: in the news because the judge, basically I think Subway
Speaker 1: was like, hey, man, like let's just call it a day.
Speaker 1: We don't need to let this trial move forward. The
Speaker 1: judges like, no, like we will hear more in the
Speaker 1: trial of is this uh fake tuna or not? For
Speaker 1: the most headlines I've gotten in years, the most the
Speaker 1: most important court case I'll ever have, right exactly like
Speaker 1: I'll allow it. So the takeout shout out the take
Speaker 1: out there they're looking at sort of just generally they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're giving us some insight into how
Speaker 1: this sort of analysis or like why the murky tuna
Speaker 1: thing even occurs. So the way they talk about is
Speaker 1: subway says that they are they got like most of
Speaker 1: their tuna skip jack tuna and it's a sustainable etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: The takeout talks about how like they're the most sustainable
Speaker 1: version of catching tuna is like poll in line, like
Speaker 1: individual fucking fisherman catching one motherfucking fish at a time.
Speaker 1: And they're like, that's fucking tuna. But a lot of places,
Speaker 1: most places don't do it like that. They use another
Speaker 1: process where they'll like surround a school of targeted fish
Speaker 1: that they're trying to harvest and just drop a big
Speaker 1: gas net around them and just scoop out a bunch
Speaker 1: of the fucking ocean at once. And yeah, in this
Speaker 1: process though, this leads to other kinds of seafood being
Speaker 1: in the hall, like sharks and turtles and like other
Speaker 1: ship and they said that could that could that could
Speaker 1: apparently be leading to this process as to why, like
Speaker 1: like it's not saying that it's tuna, and this is
Speaker 1: apparently an issue that goes beyond subway, like a lot
Speaker 1: of tuna is mislabeled. Apparently I did not know this. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: now that we just brought up turtles, this is making
Speaker 1: me feel really crazy. Yeah, this does not make it better, Miles.
Speaker 1: I don't know you brought this fourth as as evidence
Speaker 1: of like, so this is this explains it? Turtles in Japan?
Speaker 1: You know, was this supposed to make us feel better
Speaker 1: because we're like, oh, sure, it's just other animals. It's
Speaker 1: just like yoga mat or whatever they put in wonder breath.
Speaker 1: Some people were saying they were pork in it, and
Speaker 1: they're like, no, there's not pork in this. It's if anything,
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of ground up turtle and sharks. You
Speaker 1: don't know what's in the middle of that that school
Speaker 1: of tuna. You know, there could be are there could
Speaker 1: be a pig in there. Frankly, who knows what the
Speaker 1: fish are eating anyway. They could be eating some fucking
Speaker 1: soapro sota down in the ocean for all we know,
Speaker 1: and then a little bit of pig is inside of them.
Speaker 1: Everything is so they could literally be eating yoga mats
Speaker 1: too that are just washed out to see and they're like, no,
Speaker 1: it's the only reason it's coming up is yoga mat
Speaker 1: because the amount of sucking microplastics that are in everything
Speaker 1: now and burger dogs, we have shark, tuna, tuna, turtle.
Speaker 1: This episode is not making anyone hungry. All I'm saying
Speaker 1: like I didn't bring this up to say, look to
Speaker 1: eat their own Like I said, I don't look. Are
Speaker 1: you gonna keep eating Stepway tuna? Be real? Yes, It's
Speaker 1: taken a lot for Miles to respond to that, like uh,
Speaker 1: Samuel Jackson and a time to kill and say hell yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep eating it. Yeah, deserve to die. Do
Speaker 1: you remember do you remember in like the nineties when
Speaker 1: everyone was like, don't eat Wendy's chili. There are there
Speaker 1: are like fingers that remember lore around like people finding
Speaker 1: band aids and fingers and all of this ship and
Speaker 1: Wendy's chili. I just I want to point out to people.
Speaker 1: So if you might be like, you'll never catch me
Speaker 1: slip and need no fucking subway tuna, well guess what,
Speaker 1: it ain't just canned tuna. Okay. In the Atlantic, about
Speaker 1: like nine years ago, they were they were did a
Speaker 1: story about how this nonprofit group had conducted like genetic
Speaker 1: tests on over like twelve d samples of fish in
Speaker 1: the US and they found that quote fifty of the
Speaker 1: fish sold in restaurants and stores with the labeled tuna
Speaker 1: was not tuna. So that's including sushi. Yes, they found
Speaker 1: seventy four of sushi venues mislabeled items as quote tuna
Speaker 1: when they were noted. Are they just dying it pink?
Speaker 1: What are they doing? I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the folks going on there. Like I feel like
Speaker 1: I think we all just need to become vegan. I
Speaker 1: think it's like what's going on at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. Oh yeah, I mean already I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't do beef burgers anymore. I have Nathan's and impossible.
Speaker 1: It was like what I do from our girls. Now,
Speaker 1: that's my first step towards getting away from that ship.
Speaker 1: But like, yeah, when you're like tuna is not tuna.
Speaker 1: When tuna is not tuna, the world is I'll tide
Speaker 1: down that. That's the biggest takeaway from today exactly. Now.
Speaker 1: Mr Kessler's got something to right in the Washington Post.
Speaker 1: He's like, one more fucking thing, tuna is not tuna.
Speaker 1: Alarm bells are going off here. Yeah, But I guess
Speaker 1: that's the thing is that Maybe so maybe this lawsuit
Speaker 1: is more about saying like that to get Subway to
Speaker 1: be like rather than being like, yo, we got a
Speaker 1: tuna over here. They may need to shift like we
Speaker 1: have sixty six point six six seven percent tuna, or
Speaker 1: where they could just be like it's tuna. We think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: tuna like trawler surprise, or like seafood hash, Like there
Speaker 1: are other foods that seafood hash. There's they're like corned
Speaker 1: beef hash is a thing that I have gladly eaten,
Speaker 1: even though I don't know what the funk is in that.
Speaker 1: But did you ever eat scrapple growing up? Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Jersey Shore in a week and half.
Speaker 1: Scrapple growing up. It's but to me, it's like tuna
Speaker 1: the new scrapple. You know, you don't know what's in it,
Speaker 1: just tastes good. Yeah, I mean, and is that is
Speaker 1: that that bad? I guess that's what At the end
Speaker 1: of the day. I never ate a tuna sandwich because
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, the taste of tuna, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give me my like fish essenced mayonnaise. The alchemy of
Speaker 1: the mayo fish. It's like if you have a little
Speaker 1: celery in there, sometimes you have pop it up with
Speaker 1: a dell. I mean, you know, ever know, but have
Speaker 1: you ever had scrapple? No, I've never, but I know
Speaker 1: about it. Like I've watched a lot of cooking shows
Speaker 1: and I was like, you just take the trimmings and
Speaker 1: mix it up. Literally like the other other other other
Speaker 1: the hot dog company has come and taken their picks pickings,
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, the rest of this ship just we
Speaker 1: either like dump it in the ocean or the or
Speaker 1: we turn it into scratch. It tastes like meat or
Speaker 1: does it have or does it have just like generic
Speaker 1: meat flavor. No, it just tastes. It tastes like tougher
Speaker 1: hot dog to me. Yeah, but like it tastes like
Speaker 1: and it's like fattier, and it's like it's slightly more grizzly. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, grisly, grissly, not grizzly, Like it's a little
Speaker 1: grizzly too. Yeah, I see. I kind of feel like
Speaker 1: it's the meat where it goes, like you get your
Speaker 1: cuts and meat, and then they make hot dog meat,
Speaker 1: and then they make meat for dog food and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, and then whatsever left we're at like ABC,
Speaker 1: whatever is left, it d become scrapple. Do I think
Speaker 1: it's for the Department of Corrections, So that's what they
Speaker 1: feed to incarcerated people. And then yeah, it's like even
Speaker 1: not fit for what people feed in prisons. I guess yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess that's delicious. It is good. Yeah, why not? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll try it. Look, bring it on, Bring on the scrapple,
Speaker 1: Bring on the scrapple melt? Is what you need? You
Speaker 1: need to do a scrapple melt. You need to do
Speaker 1: it on two pieces of Roman male bread. Wait, what's
Speaker 1: the scrapple melt? I've just had you fry it up
Speaker 1: in a pan and you put a little cheese on there.
Speaker 1: I had one one of my friends growing up, her
Speaker 1: mom used to put slices of Velveta on it. I
Speaker 1: mean I would I would get diarrhea for like days after,
Speaker 1: But I feel like you can get diarrhea by the
Speaker 1: end of that looking at it. I mean, honey, why
Speaker 1: do you think I have lupus? Okay, it's just it's
Speaker 1: immunities came from the scrapple Velveta mouse. Um, It's it's crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's delicious. It will give you diarrhea if you're constated.
Speaker 1: Let me make you that for you. Okay. And yeah,
Speaker 1: if there's any store bought scrapple, let me know, I'll
Speaker 1: pick it up. I just love how we just went
Speaker 1: from yeah, we need to go vegan and the worst
Speaker 1: parts of a pig's asshole with Velvita on it. You know,
Speaker 1: two extremes lead to yeah, exactly the middle. Right, do
Speaker 1: you want to eat the edible version of that ship
Speaker 1: that Jack Nicholas Nicholson fell into in the Batman, the
Speaker 1: Original Batman movie, then try scrapple. Yeah, it's stored in
Speaker 1: a metal bin somewhere in a factory, like that's how
Speaker 1: they dry age it is, like it's stored in a
Speaker 1: bin somewhere where like people are murdered, and then they
Speaker 1: bring it out and turn it into scrapple. All right,
Speaker 1: it is uh the one day of the year that
Speaker 1: I feel okay talking about Major League Baseball. The All
Speaker 1: Star Game is happening. I think tonight in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: the wee day. I feel good about it. Tonight. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: I know the home run derby was last night, so
Speaker 1: there's a night you're right, sorry to clarify the game
Speaker 1: occurring tonight. It's like it's like the NBA like All
Speaker 1: Star Game. It's like all the best put on their
Speaker 1: little outfits and go for a good game of ball.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean anything, right, it's just like fun.
Speaker 1: It does mean. They turned it into a thing where
Speaker 1: I think if the Major if the a L or
Speaker 1: the NL, whoever wins, they get home field advantage in
Speaker 1: the World Series, or at least that was that was
Speaker 1: the case at one point. So they wanted to add
Speaker 1: steaks to it because it's it's yeah, but it is
Speaker 1: mostly funzies and they just like put people in like
Speaker 1: a picture comes in for like one or two innings
Speaker 1: and then okay. There have been memorable All Star Games
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, but like the last one. I feel
Speaker 1: like it was like nine or something. Honestly, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't. The last time I checked for a home
Speaker 1: run derby was probably that, Like, that's so so McGuire year.
Speaker 1: Was that when he got busted for taking steroids or
Speaker 1: something like way later. Yeah. Yeah, they're like they're doing
Speaker 1: something no one's ever done. They're like they were juiced
Speaker 1: to the funk out. There's a moonshot. That thing is
Speaker 1: still traveling over a mass pike. His fingernails are neon green.
Speaker 1: That might not be anything. Don't worry about it, oh man. Anyways,
Speaker 1: not always like I don't know. All right, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say that baseball players are dumb, because that's not
Speaker 1: a nice thing to say. But this is not the
Speaker 1: most surprising story I've ever heard. So any player traveling
Speaker 1: to Canada has to be vaccinated, as we learned in
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs when a bunch of players couldn't travel
Speaker 1: to Toronto. I think it was actually just one. So
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Royals had that happened to them this
Speaker 1: weekend where they were head a game in Toronto and
Speaker 1: except ten players had to not play in the game,
Speaker 1: so they were out at as being unvaccinated, and you
Speaker 1: know they in addition to not getting to play in
Speaker 1: the game, they aren't paid for those games, and so
Speaker 1: that like on one, Phillies catcher JT. Realmuto said he
Speaker 1: could sacrifice to the two dollars what's money when I'm
Speaker 1: not going to let Canada tell me what I do
Speaker 1: and don't put in my body for a little bit
Speaker 1: of money. It's not worth it, which made me just wonder,
Speaker 1: like what what do these babies think is in this ship?
Speaker 1: Like what what are they? I've seen people get pretty sick.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was they got their vaccine, so it's it's yeah.
Speaker 1: I love also just shout out to the clock the
Speaker 1: class solidarity there too. What's two knt? I know, fart
Speaker 1: that away just oppone the Canadians, Like what a little
Speaker 1: bit of them of the players who are unvaccinated and
Speaker 1: can't travel, A whopping of them are from the US.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, bro, it's so embarrassing this country. Just
Speaker 1: like what the fuck is wrong with Like I it's crazy,
Speaker 1: it's it's the most powerful people in our country are
Speaker 1: like these kinds of athletes and then other like people
Speaker 1: in Congress who are asking like doctors if someone who's
Speaker 1: pregnant can give birth to a taco and doing it
Speaker 1: with a straight face, and like we constantly just like
Speaker 1: let that ship cook too, which is wild to like
Speaker 1: that when you do stories like this, they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: anti VAXX person, say some misinformation right now, right that's
Speaker 1: the yeah. Jam our writer from Canada who's just watching
Speaker 1: this with his hand over his mouth, just stricken look
Speaker 1: of horror on his face, was pointing out that like,
Speaker 1: vaccinated players don't get asked about it, but the unvaccinated
Speaker 1: ones are given a platform to spout misinformation. So like
Speaker 1: this dip this dip ship with marath Field said, like
Speaker 1: Myles said, I I've just known too many people who've
Speaker 1: gotten pretty sick. But then he he said, I might
Speaker 1: get vaccinated if something happens and I happen to get
Speaker 1: on a team that has a chance to play in
Speaker 1: Canada in the postseason. He's like, my team sucks, it
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. But if I you know, if it,
Speaker 1: if it actually means something, I might I might actually
Speaker 1: do the damn thing. But fans love that. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: It's but like again, like we're in this world where
Speaker 1: like these people are being challenged at all, and so
Speaker 1: they like, who was it? There was an NBA player
Speaker 1: who was like very adamant that they weren't going to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated, and then like their teammates like how to
Speaker 1: talk with them and their coach like explained to them
Speaker 1: with Andrew Wiggins. Yeah it was Wiggins, that's right. And
Speaker 1: then he was like, yeah, yeah, I got vaccinated and
Speaker 1: had the season of his fucking career. I think that's
Speaker 1: what this guy needs to learn when with mary Field
Speaker 1: needs to check himself with I love that his take
Speaker 1: boils down to, look, if y'all were better at baseball,
Speaker 1: I might give a funk about my life, like whoa yeah,
Speaker 1: and also just does not give a shout about the
Speaker 1: general like couldn't care less it all. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of it really does blood to just America's individualistic like
Speaker 1: head up our own ass, just so the idea no
Speaker 1: other humans existing except for me? Well because well again,
Speaker 1: because our lovely capitalist society is built for the individual.
Speaker 1: It's not built for the community. It's not built to
Speaker 1: actually care for each other and give a shit about
Speaker 1: each other. It is the it's the me, me, me,
Speaker 1: me me constantly. Um. And then if someone dares question
Speaker 1: or have a conversation about why you make said decision.
Speaker 1: I think there's such a premium that people are like,
Speaker 1: it's my fucking constitutional right that I get to do
Speaker 1: whatever the funk I want to do, even if it
Speaker 1: means threatening the health and lives of other people. So
Speaker 1: it's like, again, it's you know, people, vaccinated people aren't
Speaker 1: the ones that are being questioned about their information and
Speaker 1: their viewpoints. It's always the unvaccinated people that are saying
Speaker 1: some fucking psychotic shit. It's about freedom and freedom from
Speaker 1: consequence at every turn for every single thing I do.
Speaker 1: That's what freedom is, freedom from fucking consequence. Because I
Speaker 1: have misconstrued this concept of freedom where you can do
Speaker 1: anything you like into I can be as nasty and
Speaker 1: fucked up as i'd like to anybody, and no one
Speaker 1: better say shipped to me, because this is America and
Speaker 1: I and I just redefined freedom. The American dream is
Speaker 1: now just getting so rich that you can remove yourself
Speaker 1: from the human condition, which includes like dealing with other people,
Speaker 1: that you can say two dollars isn't another bit of money?
Speaker 1: And again, yeah, it's what's two fifty if I can
Speaker 1: say fuck you? To Canada. Am I right? Well again,
Speaker 1: that's the concept that in the culture of fuck you money,
Speaker 1: which is basically I don't have so much money, I
Speaker 1: can say fuck you to anything and that's fucking freedom. Right,
Speaker 1: that's tight, dude sick anyways, Uh go Blue Jays. I
Speaker 1: guess that's the moral of that story. Yeah. I would
Speaker 1: just love that it turns out like Toronto, just like
Speaker 1: the city that just crushes other teams and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: bring your anti vaxers. Oh right, you can't. Oh sorry,
Speaker 1: they get to the World Series and they suck. They've
Speaker 1: just been playing like teams that don't have any players
Speaker 1: the whole season. That would be pretty funny. Well, Greta,
Speaker 1: truly a pleasure as always having. Well is that I
Speaker 1: feel like this episode I've just been like, everything's fucking bad, scrapple,
Speaker 1: and it was, and you bring us joy. It's definitely

Speaker 1: I mean, my my cousin still dips. I still know
Speaker 1: a few people would dip. And whenever people pull out
Speaker 1: and like pack a lip, I'm always like, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen that. I truly haven't seen that in twenty years.
Speaker 1: I feel like the way I see it now, as
Speaker 1: I see my homies who have just had kids, I
Speaker 1: think that's like their way of like secretly like getting
Speaker 1: sucked up or something. There's a weird thing that happens
Speaker 1: when kids. And you're like, I mean, it's the midlife crisis.
Speaker 1: Like that's why, that's why so many men like lose

Speaker 1: will pack lips, late hot dogs. You just had a
Speaker 1: kid and realized that everything you've done has been on
