Speaker 1: show my six year old Jaws, even though I had

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. It's Molly Wambero ba wow.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't follow any of those. They were
Speaker 1: so good. Um, here's what I've got. Okay, Uh, clap
Speaker 1: your hands if you think that the Minions are really cool.
Speaker 1: Clap long if you think that Minions are sweet, like
Speaker 1: grew because I'm clapping. That's why I got like that.
Speaker 1: I mean that it's a miracle. Those aren't the lyrics
Speaker 1: any I do think the Minions are really cool. I
Speaker 1: also hot take and don't think that song is as
Speaker 1: annoying as everybody else does. Well because you're happy and
Speaker 1: you do live in a home without a roof, so
Speaker 1: because it's because it's bossa nova. It's fun. I've always
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. It's a fun song. When people are like,
Speaker 1: du is the worst song? Ever? How dare you know
Speaker 1: there's other songs? Yeah? I think it was. I wonder
Speaker 1: if it's just because it's also a song that became
Speaker 1: so like ubiquitous, like it was everywhere that it just
Speaker 1: it added to people's like this song much like the Minions.
Speaker 1: They are everywhere. But actually they're pretty good. Yeah are
Speaker 1: they good? I don't know. The Minions are fucking great, man.
Speaker 1: Minions are great. They're so much better than a lot
Speaker 1: of other kids. C G. I stuff. They're so good language.
Speaker 1: Are they speaking like Italian? I think so. I think
Speaker 1: a French person made them. But they are speaking like
Speaker 1: min Yonese, which is like yeah, because sometimes I'm like,
Speaker 1: we han't got a couple of words in my mind.
Speaker 1: I'm like, say banana. The minions are like apparently the
Speaker 1: person who created them is just a walking talking like
Speaker 1: that's who that person is. But yeah, it really works.
Speaker 1: It's like a great I feel like one of the
Speaker 1: things that I'm confident like that's been created in the
Speaker 1: past fifteen twenty years that people still have in the
Speaker 1: pop culture lexicon. Uh, you know, decades into the future. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I'm driving back from the valley back to my
Speaker 1: my home on the East Side and I see that
Speaker 1: big minion Universal makes me happy? Is that? Like? Is
Speaker 1: that are like Christ the Redeemer of the Valley? I
Speaker 1: have a real strong que and on feeling about it
Speaker 1: for some reason, which way, well, okay, so for people
Speaker 1: who don't know there in in like the at the
Speaker 1: edge of the valley sits Universal Studios and at the
Speaker 1: top of the King Kong Ride. Those are the things
Speaker 1: that I feel like Josh and the Jack's kids too
Speaker 1: scary for Jack's kids, just scary for my kids. We
Speaker 1: haven't taken them there yet. I'm assuming when when Harry
Speaker 1: Potter enters the their world, we will be going to
Speaker 1: Harry Potter World, right, right, right. So in that location,
Speaker 1: there's a gigantic minion on top of the hill and
Speaker 1: it's just sort of over works this into the valley,
Speaker 1: lords over the valley, and it has one eye's I
Speaker 1: love it, okay, Yeah, just the one eye overlooking the valley,
Speaker 1: you know, peering into all of our souls. It hasn't
Speaker 1: Illuminati energy. I think it's sort of like the Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Illuminati pyramid with the one eye on it. That's
Speaker 1: the minion. Yeah, I like that. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to really look into that. Well, we are going to
Speaker 1: get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
Speaker 1: we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things
Speaker 1: we're talking about. We're gonna continue checking in with the
Speaker 1: what do we call it couch ella, So we're gonna
Speaker 1: look at the strategy with like, it seems like the
Speaker 1: thing that is sticking the most is the fraud. The
Speaker 1: cheating people out of money at least, like I don't
Speaker 1: know that just taking a just broad not really paying
Speaker 1: attention to, not watching the actual thing, but just like
Speaker 1: watching the headlines and watching social media feels like that's
Speaker 1: the thing that people are Like. Damn stars for Kimberly
Speaker 1: Guilfoil to introduce her boyfriend for two minutes. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so we'll talk about that strategy. We'll talk about Trump's
Speaker 1: strategy his response. We're gonna talk about the new Squid
Speaker 1: Game reality show the Netflix is bringing. They have decided
Speaker 1: to completely miss the lesson from there from their show
Speaker 1: and just turn Squid Game into an actual reality show
Speaker 1: where people compete for the highest reality show prize ever
Speaker 1: four point five six million. So we're gonna see a
Speaker 1: lot of desperation. Is gonna be really entertaining. Wow. And
Speaker 1: we had a stop down a tech a tech issue.
Speaker 1: Miles is a k A actually knocked out the power
Speaker 1: in his whole neighborhood. It was so good. Sorry, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: but not sorry. It's better for the world. It was
Speaker 1: a necessary thing that happened. Look, I try and spit
Speaker 1: bars responsibly, but sometimes you get carried away and you
Speaker 1: end up affecting. You know, my neighbor's oxygen machine. Sometimes
Speaker 1: the grid's not ready. Yeah, you do live next door
Speaker 1: to that TV producer from Big Lebowski in the Iron Lung. Yeah, Gary,
Speaker 1: the man is here all right, Molly. Before we were
Speaker 1: so rudely interrupted by the limitations of the Los Angeles paragride,
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history? I was looking up red pandas little
Speaker 1: cute guys that are fun to look at. They are
Speaker 1: so cute that they look fake, like they look badly photoshopped. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks c G I, because how could anything exist
Speaker 1: and be so cute? Like if if someone showed me
Speaker 1: a picture of this, I would be like, well, that
Speaker 1: looks like ship. Like try harder with the c G I,
Speaker 1: because this is like the eyes look like stickers, Like
Speaker 1: they don't even look like they should be possible. No,
Speaker 1: they're they're proof of God's malice. Something so beautiful and
Speaker 1: cute could exist truly true? Are they are they like
Speaker 1: uh you know if you zoom out, or they like
Speaker 1: vicious like they have like the most poisonous mouth, or
Speaker 1: they know not at all. They're just a little cutie boys.
Speaker 1: It's always like something with a little cute animal. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but don't get this, don't fall off. You're like, what
Speaker 1: are they big? Like in the movie Turning Red or
Speaker 1: how how large are we talking here? They're big enough
Speaker 1: to hug. That's that's all. I mean. They're a little
Speaker 1: weird bears. You know they are bears. But like you
Speaker 1: turn off Fox Puppies or something. It's so yeah, so
Speaker 1: what you're trying to You're trying to buy one. Well, look,
Speaker 1: if I see one, I'm gonna get grizzly manned. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find out firsthand if they will kill you, because yeah,
Speaker 1: because if I see one, I'm kissing it. This also
Speaker 1: represents the like is a good example of the limitation
Speaker 1: of the imagination of the evangelical and creative design movement.
Speaker 1: Like remember there was a video I was actually talking
Speaker 1: about this on a secretly incredibly fascinating recently that's coming up.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of fun. But there there's that video
Speaker 1: where like an evangelical pastor or maybe it was Kirk
Speaker 1: Cameron was like holding a banana. I was like, this
Speaker 1: is proof that God exists, because like, how could something
Speaker 1: so perfect? It's got a peel and you just open
Speaker 1: it and it's like, well, dude, like that's not like
Speaker 1: humans invented bananas with specialty reading and now you really
Speaker 1: have the minions on your mind. Yeah, but banana. If
Speaker 1: I had minions on my mind, I would be calling
Speaker 1: them bananas. Nana. You've you're right, You're right. The banana
Speaker 1: we eat now is like all hybridized. They should be
Speaker 1: showing pictures of red pandas and me like, is this
Speaker 1: not well? Check out, you just dropped a link in
Speaker 1: the chat. This is what I look at. It's red
Speaker 1: panda every hour on Twitter. Pour is hr And I
Speaker 1: put it in my list feed of people whose tweets
Speaker 1: I actually read because I followed too many people, so
Speaker 1: I have like a secret list that I actually look at,
Speaker 1: and I drop it in there so that the tweets
Speaker 1: are broken up by an hourly picture of a red
Speaker 1: panda just being cute. I mean, one of these looks
Speaker 1: like it's caught on like a little like backyard camp,
Speaker 1: like in the wild. Could you imagine just like instead
Speaker 1: of a possum, which is the thing that I always
Speaker 1: just see waddling through my backyard. Uh, you saw one
Speaker 1: of these little fuckers. I mean, come on, come on.
Speaker 1: I would literally like every picture I look at it,
Speaker 1: I get mad. I'm like, God, it's activating, like the
Speaker 1: caveman agro reflect I love when things are so cute
Speaker 1: to make you angry. I have to protect like I
Speaker 1: have to crush it. Yeah. No, it's like I have
Speaker 1: to protect it from anyone who will crush it, like
Speaker 1: Miles was revealed something. No, there was this whole study
Speaker 1: about that reflex that we have about it and like
Speaker 1: why some people literally do the things like oh, I
Speaker 1: just you know, like the thing I want to squeeze it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I need that ship. They want to lenny it.
Speaker 1: He made me really, I was like, wow, is every
Speaker 1: podcast just off mice and men? But yeah, like that's
Speaker 1: when I was just reading them, like oh, there's like
Speaker 1: there is this like this weird thing that it sets off,
Speaker 1: like you're saying to protect it or just seeing it
Speaker 1: just if we fucking melt down. So I also think
Speaker 1: it's a good illustration of the difference between men and
Speaker 1: women in some cases, and you know, the the instinct
Speaker 1: to nurture, which I actually happen to have to molly,
Speaker 1: or the instinct to destroy like Myles revealed that he
Speaker 1: just says, well, I think they're twin instincts, right, nurture
Speaker 1: and destroy. That's what the red Panda represents because it's
Speaker 1: like a bear Keith and claws, but it's so fucking cute.
Speaker 1: Truly a lesson, what is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Always?
Speaker 1: Again forgetting to think of anything before doing this podcast?
Speaker 1: What's overrated? Red pandas go with ripping No, not overrated? God,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, so too excited about everything right now,
Speaker 1: just like everything's anything is good, it's perfect. It's such
Speaker 1: a high tolerance for bullshit right now because I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: we can go back outside. You know some things i'd
Speaker 1: normally be like the city walk garage, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: it's paradise. I want to pay thirty dollars to park
Speaker 1: in a parking lot. Thank you, Rick, I just said,
Speaker 1: don't want to repeat myself. I feel like I always
Speaker 1: say the same things. I feel like I want to
Speaker 1: say breakfast tacos, but maybe I've said that before, So
Speaker 1: I don't want to just give it. Give it to you,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna say overrated Saturday, underrated Thursday? What okay?
Speaker 1: This is a young person's take. Oh yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: young person's take. Yeah, a couple of years. Wait, so
Speaker 1: what's wait, now gonna explain to me? I mean I
Speaker 1: I understood Saturday, okay if I was, well, not just college.
Speaker 1: First of all, we're all in college again now that
Speaker 1: we can go out again after COVID time is meaningless.
Speaker 1: We're all podcasters here, we don't have a traditional work schedule.
Speaker 1: I just think Saturday there's too much pressure to have fun,
Speaker 1: to like make that a focal point of your week
Speaker 1: and be like that's the night I'm gonna have fun,
Speaker 1: and Thursday is like if you have fun, it's like
Speaker 1: a bonus. Yeah yeah, okay, So like when you're you're saying, like,
Speaker 1: do you realize how much fun you're having Thursday in
Speaker 1: the moment, or like when you get home and you're like, damn,
Speaker 1: I did that Thursday. Yes, yeah, I think it's just
Speaker 1: like it's like a fun you know, if you go
Speaker 1: out on Thursday and you have fun, you're like, oh
Speaker 1: that I didn't expect to have such a good Thursday.
Speaker 1: But if you have, if nothing's going on on Saturday,
Speaker 1: you're like, man, this is so depressing, it's Saturday. If
Speaker 1: nothing's going on Thursday, it's like, well it's Thursday, right, sure,
Speaker 1: yeah I get that. I was like, I thought, same,
Speaker 1: I want to see Jurassic Park last Thursday. And I
Speaker 1: was like going out to a movie on Thursday was
Speaker 1: like this is I'm living babies. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You're in the moment. But I didn't realize that I
Speaker 1: got home or like afterwards, I was like, that was sick,
Speaker 1: that was dope. But I just did right there, going
Speaker 1: on to a movie on a Thursday, right, just like
Speaker 1: who can stop you? No, it's just I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's cool. Everything sucks, but honestly it's cool. We don't
Speaker 1: live in the fifties and half to like put on
Speaker 1: a suit in tie and go to a job every day, right,
Speaker 1: Like I was gonna take your overrated, underrated and extend it.
Speaker 1: I think weekends are overrated. We didn't used to have
Speaker 1: him in the eight hundreds. Okay, let's just work all
Speaker 1: the time, you know, Okay, Okay, anti union jack over here,
Speaker 1: that's that's what he's like. Yeah, he's like he bought
Speaker 1: a vintage Pinkerton uniform and to the grove. No I mean,
Speaker 1: I do think there's a lot of bad things about
Speaker 1: the work all the time, no boundaries. Every day is
Speaker 1: a work day because of email, you know thing. But
Speaker 1: I also think the flip side is that every day
Speaker 1: is also a weekend. Every day is a day off
Speaker 1: if you want it to be. Yeah, if you mindset. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the opposite of the grindset. Yeah, right, exactly. You
Speaker 1: bend the spoon with your mind by making every day
Speaker 1: the weekend. It's the fine set. Mm hmm, yeah it is.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is a collegiate mindset. But you know what,
Speaker 1: That's how I'm feeling right now is that we're all
Speaker 1: in college again. So I feel like we're super I
Speaker 1: feel like we're super seniors in l A. You know,
Speaker 1: the super seniors of l A. We're gonna go places
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what we'll name our
Speaker 1: secret club, which that sounds like a bunch of people
Speaker 1: who meet to walk at the mall the you know what. Again,
Speaker 1: the line between the retiree lifestyle and the collegiate go
Speaker 1: out every night lifestyle pretty thing? Yeah. Fine, finally, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back and yeah, so you know, we'd day. I
Speaker 1: actually don't know, like how many days in are we
Speaker 1: to the like primetime event television. I think there's like
Speaker 1: five or six hearings total. There's five total at this point,
Speaker 1: or that's where we're headed. I think that's where we're headed.
Speaker 1: I I can't, I don't. I didn't really actually keep
Speaker 1: up with the actual schedule for Coachella because I know
Speaker 1: they do this, they do the circus and then right
Speaker 1: before mid terms they will then you know, be like
Speaker 1: and here's our assessment type thing. So they're waiting to
Speaker 1: drop the hammer right before the midterms. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: don't know that's but yeah, as it is, I think
Speaker 1: we have another one or two this week. And Molly,
Speaker 1: are you glued to the hearings? Are you just like,
Speaker 1: you know, waiting for them to drop the hammer and
Speaker 1: carry I am completely checked out, No, because none of
Speaker 1: that's going to happen, right, I mean, I just going
Speaker 1: from the Johnny Depp and Amber heard trial right into
Speaker 1: the January six stuff. Really just we live in hell.
Speaker 1: Dudes are batting a thousand right now in legal I
Speaker 1: truly don't understand why they're even doing this because there's no,
Speaker 1: it's just a show trial. It's like nothing's going to
Speaker 1: happen to anyone. I feel insane when I see like
Speaker 1: liberals posting about like Trump's gonna get carried off and
Speaker 1: hand to us, you know, like Nixon. It's like I don't.
Speaker 1: He's definitely not and they're not even gonna give him
Speaker 1: a tap on the wrist. It's going to be like
Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein being like thank you, well, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: We're all going to put on our Kentey cloth and
Speaker 1: thank Trump for that hero officer who is so valiantly
Speaker 1: defended the Senate chambers, Like like truly, what's the point
Speaker 1: like where like they're all just on the same team, right,
Speaker 1: and the team is like civility or whatever, and it
Speaker 1: is there's clearly a group of people like on the
Speaker 1: Hill though, that like realize you're like, well, we can't
Speaker 1: have people this rude, right, and like they're united in
Speaker 1: like ousting Trump for being so rude. But it's also
Speaker 1: there's so many I feel like I just see people
Speaker 1: posting about Trump so much too still, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: he's not the president anymore. He's not the reason everything sucks,
Speaker 1: Like Biden isn't doing anything either. It just like it
Speaker 1: makes me feel insane because they're just like, yeah, doing
Speaker 1: all the same, like it's Muller time or I'm just
Speaker 1: like what are you talking about? Like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I would fuck the ship out of Robert Muller. I know,
Speaker 1: say that every day and we have to cut it
Speaker 1: out of this show. But all that so what they're
Speaker 1: doing is what they do all the time, is that
Speaker 1: they don't they don't know how to just do something
Speaker 1: that's good, so they need public sentiment on their side
Speaker 1: to do it, you know what I mean, Like they
Speaker 1: just want to be like, oh, that's illegal, man, funk
Speaker 1: that here it is, here's your here's your marching orders,
Speaker 1: d o J go do something, go prosecute. But the
Speaker 1: feeling is so much like everything's like did you see
Speaker 1: that guy's right? So then he took like two or
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars. That's bad, right, And it was like
Speaker 1: we fucking no. Somebody said it was like a West
Speaker 1: Wing bonus episode. They were like, oh, so they're not.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna do anything to any of these people.
Speaker 1: There's no consequences. Like, to me, it's crazy because it
Speaker 1: just says you can storm the capital and like nothing
Speaker 1: will happen actually, and again just makes me be like
Speaker 1: it seems like maybe just the wrong side is storming
Speaker 1: the capitol. It's not that people shouldn't be storming the
Speaker 1: capital to get stuff such as let's say, guns out
Speaker 1: a lot. Well, everybody that this would just be a
Speaker 1: story about like the thousands of people who were murdered
Speaker 1: on the steps of the capitol if if it was
Speaker 1: the other side story. But that was the thing too,
Speaker 1: It's just like we all saw it like nothing, yeah
Speaker 1: they were doing. That's one one clip that I feel
Speaker 1: like we're not getting a lot of, or at least
Speaker 1: I haven't been watching. But like that doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: the angle that the Democrats are going for is like
Speaker 1: showing the cannot at least flip flicking it up with
Speaker 1: the people who are storming the capitol. I mean, it
Speaker 1: does seem like, okay, a show trial, and it seems
Speaker 1: like it's openly a show trial, right, like there's a
Speaker 1: show trial. But it's like even a show trial is
Speaker 1: usually meant to crush descent, you know, and so way
Speaker 1: right like the Heidi Flys trial from How Do World?
Speaker 1: The Hidie fly Star in Secret History of life was
Speaker 1: about scaring sex workers into not doing you know, into
Speaker 1: into compliance. This doesn't even seem like it would scare
Speaker 1: anyone into anything, because you're saying, literally, nobody's like flights
Speaker 1: one to jail. This is like, nobody's going to go
Speaker 1: to jail. There's literally no consequences. It sounds like so far,
Speaker 1: it's like the the seditious conspiracy stuff for Proud Boys
Speaker 1: is probably like the biggest thing. You're like, Okay, well
Speaker 1: that's they're pursuing something there, and Peter Navarro being the
Speaker 1: only person from that administration actually getting arrested, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: because Mark Meadows did the same thing and they've they
Speaker 1: told that, they've said now we're not going to charge him,
Speaker 1: So it's like yeah, I mean it's like yeah, piecemeal
Speaker 1: or like sort of ceremonial or like gestures towards happening.
Speaker 1: But I guess that's why I'm so the reason I'm
Speaker 1: like even looking at it is because to your point,
Speaker 1: I hate the idea that we're just going to send
Speaker 1: the message to people. It's like, look, man, as long
Speaker 1: as you as long as you're doing it for the
Speaker 1: right reasons, Like it's cool, like we'll kind of let
Speaker 1: that ship cook. But and I think that's what really
Speaker 1: frightens me, and knowing like is this is it fully
Speaker 1: just going to play out like most other things where
Speaker 1: America has to deal with a problem of like white
Speaker 1: supremacy or fascism, and then it's just like dropped the
Speaker 1: ball right there, just soft on white supremacists. They're like, whoops,
Speaker 1: they didn't mean it. You know again if we're saying
Speaker 1: like yeah, if the black Panthers were storming the capital,
Speaker 1: it would be a different story, like yeah, And and
Speaker 1: I don't know, just I feel like you hear about
Speaker 1: when you hear about things from the past, like the
Speaker 1: Watergate stuff, and then you see just like oh, that's
Speaker 1: not going to happen. That's like we could do that,
Speaker 1: but we're just not gonna hold anyone accountable. Actually, it
Speaker 1: makes you feel crazy. It's like when you I don't know,
Speaker 1: a thing that has always made me crazy was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: protests of the Vietnam War. But then when we were
Speaker 1: all protesting the Iraq war, didn't really do anything. They
Speaker 1: were just kind of made it illegal to protest. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it just it makes you feel crazy, and uh, have
Speaker 1: no faith in it. Yeah, I mean I think if
Speaker 1: you hadn't at this point realize that the people in
Speaker 1: charge have abandoned you and uh are gonna funk us all,
Speaker 1: then uh maybe this is the moment. But again that
Speaker 1: must will make me feel crazy. It's people being like
Speaker 1: we're getting justice. Gavel time, okay, gavel time to show
Speaker 1: me the actual receipts first before you started celebrating, because
Speaker 1: that's the thing I'm winning. Like this is it's it's
Speaker 1: like anything's like every other moment we've had, like, well
Speaker 1: we'll see, well we'll see. I'm not going to get
Speaker 1: too excited. But because again, like I like, the optics
Speaker 1: of it all are like the the energy from this
Speaker 1: committee does seem more like it was bad and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we fucking know full like the funk is this like
Speaker 1: least well addressed it or don't. But I mean, the
Speaker 1: difference between Watergate and this is not like the severity
Speaker 1: of what happened and like the obviousness, like the fact
Speaker 1: like they they tried to overthrow the results of an
Speaker 1: election and like get rid of American democracy and that's
Speaker 1: all out in the open. The difference is that like
Speaker 1: most of the country doesn't give a ship, and an
Speaker 1: entire party doesn't give a ship. When you look back
Speaker 1: at Watergate and like how that actually went down, Like
Speaker 1: the country was like, oh, that's bad. We should like
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be the president anymore, and like we're just
Speaker 1: that's not changing here, Like we're we're not going to
Speaker 1: suddenly convince half of the country and the entire Republican
Speaker 1: Party to suddenly give a shit about this. So it
Speaker 1: does feel like the way it's being covered at least
Speaker 1: is now that like, well that this is a political
Speaker 1: act and here are the things that are going to
Speaker 1: stick with Trump, like with Trump's followers, and like will
Speaker 1: will actually hurt his reputation? Um, which the main thing
Speaker 1: that seems to really be like pissing people off is
Speaker 1: that Kimberly Gilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr's wife, was paid sixty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for a two minute speech introducing her boyfriends
Speaker 1: like at the actual insurrection, and like it really seems
Speaker 1: like that's the one thing that because the victim is
Speaker 1: the people who donated to Trump's campaign, it feels like
Speaker 1: that's that's a thing that logically makes sense to go after,
Speaker 1: and it's probably the thing he's least careful about because
Speaker 1: he commits like financial fraud like the way other people breathe.
Speaker 1: But also they all do this stuff. They all take
Speaker 1: money for speeches they should take if they had any
Speaker 1: intention of being a real like a good politician. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's also playing into the thing like that's amazing,
Speaker 1: like why are they doing the trials. It's so that
Speaker 1: the Democrats can use this to grift and go, you know,
Speaker 1: get paid to make speeches about how they they took
Speaker 1: Trump you know, to task, and it's like they're all
Speaker 1: just scammers. They're all scammers on both sides of the aisle,
Speaker 1: and they're all gonna fuck everybody, right. I think the
Speaker 1: like long view for the Democrats with this is that
Speaker 1: they want to try and pick off at least as
Speaker 1: many Republicans as possible who might be open to hearing
Speaker 1: about what happened, so just to kind of like etch
Speaker 1: away at like whatever support there is, and then probably
Speaker 1: come with some like like weak gass like mail fraud
Speaker 1: charges at the end of this and then be like
Speaker 1: we'll see because then we because they're like you're saying,
Speaker 1: they're underlining the way like his supporters are being wronged too.
Speaker 1: That was like a big dimension of Couchella night too.
Speaker 1: It was like, look at all your money, Look what
Speaker 1: they did. Why are we calling it couchella because it's
Speaker 1: just it's been a festival, there's multiple nights, we have headliners,
Speaker 1: we have but what's the coup oh cou oh you pan?
Speaker 1: We should just pounce like I was like couci cella,
Speaker 1: Like you mean like freak kick, like freekick, not like
Speaker 1: freaking but it's p um. But yeah, that's what it
Speaker 1: feels like, especially with like a lot of the the
Speaker 1: big stuff like we see like the big lib like
Speaker 1: Twitter accounts who are like, got you, that's male fraud.
Speaker 1: Donnie was like right, I just like I'm like I
Speaker 1: don't understand those people who really do they really think
Speaker 1: we're gonna see Trump getting on the helicopter and handcuffs
Speaker 1: like Nixon or are they just I don't know, they're
Speaker 1: just brainwormed because all SA people who are like we're
Speaker 1: getting a new deal with Biden and then it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: well none of these things have happened. So yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a there's a level of like a combination of comfort, privilege,
Speaker 1: and ignorance. That you have to like have present for
Speaker 1: you to look at a situation like this and really
Speaker 1: think it's going to happen. Right, you're ignorant enough to
Speaker 1: not know that this country has a terrible track record
Speaker 1: dealing with white supremacy and right wing extremism and fascism.
Speaker 1: Then you also have to be privileged enough and comfortable
Speaker 1: enough to not have any of the policies of the
Speaker 1: government really affect you because you can either spend your
Speaker 1: way out of it or they're just not those are
Speaker 1: just there's just not pressures that are real to you
Speaker 1: like most other people. So and then you're in denial
Speaker 1: that the country is actually what it is, so it's
Speaker 1: easier to keep retreating to these things of like, yes,
Speaker 1: they got him, because I don't want to say whatever
Speaker 1: what most other people are who are kind of looking
Speaker 1: at it, you know, and just gasping with despair and
Speaker 1: being like it's so fucking backwards and dark and this
Speaker 1: like you're saying, it feels like the upside down where
Speaker 1: you have people who are advocating for like, you know,
Speaker 1: human rights and they get the chip kicked out of them,
Speaker 1: and people are over here like meanwhile, beating cogs up
Speaker 1: with whatever they want and then they're like thank you
Speaker 1: in yeah. Um so Trump, predictably, Trump is not this
Speaker 1: isn't kind of great for him. He like he's kind
Speaker 1: of flying off the hand. I mean, he does kind
Speaker 1: of thrive on conflict, so maybe it's not the worst
Speaker 1: thing for him. But he put out a twelve page
Speaker 1: screed on how corrupt this whole process is, and I
Speaker 1: don't know, like some people are saying, it feels like
Speaker 1: desperate and like defensive, but like he from day one
Speaker 1: has always seemed aspirate and defensive, Like I don't know,
Speaker 1: like well at least like swung back and forth between
Speaker 1: desperate and defensive, and like there's levels to his ship,
Speaker 1: you know, like it'll be like when he was in office,
Speaker 1: he would just be like it's fake news and keep
Speaker 1: it moving and not have to explain too much. He
Speaker 1: this motherfucker put off twelve pages with the footnotes in
Speaker 1: the fucking thing because he's like trying to have like
Speaker 1: a legal rebuttal to what is happening, and he's just
Speaker 1: and really at the end of the day, it shows
Speaker 1: like how like upset he is that like the people
Speaker 1: to see his like former aids and people in his
Speaker 1: administration just openly talking ship like Bill Barr, like laughing,
Speaker 1: even though let's not forget Bill Barr was just saving
Speaker 1: his own ask this whole time, and this trial has
Speaker 1: allowed him to be like, yeah, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was all bullshit. Don't don't listen to the parts where
Speaker 1: I said mail in ballots maybe potential avenues for fraud.
Speaker 1: Trump just like Trump just wants everyone to read a
Speaker 1: sub stack right, no one time. Yeah. I mean, like
Speaker 1: if you think about, like the way his ego is
Speaker 1: just like all consuming, all devouring, black hole, and like
Speaker 1: he has launched a bunch of el's like since he
Speaker 1: went left office, Like he can't like get his sub stack,
Speaker 1: like can't get people interested in like from the desk
Speaker 1: of the president or whatever the funk like that thing was,
Speaker 1: can't get a social media platform off the ground, no truth. No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a like that. That's gotta hurt his feelings. So
Speaker 1: maybe we should just you know, continue the streak and
Speaker 1: ignore the funk out of this. Yeah, if we hurt
Speaker 1: his feelings enough, he'll just disappear, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He'll realize he's a bad guy. He'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: And he'll be so embarrassed sorry when I do that.
Speaker 1: He goes on and this thing, he goes former a
Speaker 1: g Bill bar Rhino, if there ever was one, didn't
Speaker 1: have the courage or stamina to go after voter fraud.
Speaker 1: Was afraid he was going to be impeached. No guts,
Speaker 1: no glory. Okay, Ryan know you say, and then he
Speaker 1: goes on to say, like again, amongst the twelve pages
Speaker 1: that people even bothered to make excerpts of the January
Speaker 1: six Unselect Committee is that this is disgracing everything we
Speaker 1: hold sacred about our constitution. Like you give a funk
Speaker 1: about it. If they had any real evidence, they'd hold
Speaker 1: the real hearings with equal representation. They don't, so they
Speaker 1: use the illegally constituted committee to put on a smoking
Speaker 1: mirror show for the American people in a pitiful, lest
Speaker 1: dige effort to deceive the American public. Again, I mean,
Speaker 1: part of that's kind of true. But smoke and mirrors show, yeah,
Speaker 1: put on. I thought he put on it. I thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna say, put on that absolute smoke show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean it's it's this is really I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's you watch I think on the periphery, right, what
Speaker 1: like as this goes on and you see how much
Speaker 1: Fox doesn't want to talk about it, and how much
Speaker 1: like news Max is just saying like even wacky er
Speaker 1: stuff because like they they're gonna get sued if they
Speaker 1: talk about dominion voting systems. That it's just like they're
Speaker 1: having trouble dealing with this in a like a way
Speaker 1: that could even follow the logic for Fox News, because
Speaker 1: like on Laura Ingram, there's been like, oh man, it's
Speaker 1: like barely any showmanship in this thing. Like they were
Speaker 1: critiquing it like it was like a child musical, like
Speaker 1: at an elementary school, and all like in in the meantime,
Speaker 1: people like Brit Hume on Fox he was saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, he's saying the thing that a lot of
Speaker 1: people say, which is like, you know a lot of
Speaker 1: Republicans secretly hope that this kind of hurts Trump and
Speaker 1: then he's not able to run because a lot of
Speaker 1: people don't feel Republicans can win with him at the
Speaker 1: top of the ticket. There's something to that, for sure,
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of there are plenty of savvy
Speaker 1: Republicans who like are actually understanding like yeah, if we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to power, like, we can't just have this
Speaker 1: guy there immediately, Like that hurts the chance of like
Speaker 1: my funked up America that I'm dreaming up and it's
Speaker 1: not the one Trump has, and I can I can
Speaker 1: definitely see how there's conflicting views there. But like you
Speaker 1: add to that too, Nicky Haley, who's also you know,
Speaker 1: a person who they've said is like rumored to run
Speaker 1: for president. She's doing the thing now where she's picking
Speaker 1: like pick she has her own house candidate picks that
Speaker 1: are in direct opposition to Trump's, like revenge picks in
Speaker 1: South Carolina. So you know, there's like it's it's always
Speaker 1: curiously what the calculus is of like the De santiss
Speaker 1: and Nicky Haley's of the world, who clearly feel like
Speaker 1: they can have their shot. But I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: All of them actually seem pretty still shook at the
Speaker 1: idea that he's still so popular. So I'm like, I
Speaker 1: always take those kinds of quotes like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: do we think there's any chance because if if they
Speaker 1: go with Trump, like is this the moment for a
Speaker 1: leftist candidate to come in? I know, like there was
Speaker 1: conversations about how like a lot of people in the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party don't want Biden to run, and then like
Speaker 1: his present Jerry came out and was like, to be clear,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is running, but I don't know, like it
Speaker 1: does feel like like the Chile just elected a leftist
Speaker 1: and he was bro they're not gonna let us select
Speaker 1: a leftist. Remember when remember in the rat flecked Bernie,
Speaker 1: that's that was our last chance. That was the boat
Speaker 1: that was watching the Titanic sale. You know, start to
Speaker 1: think like we're fact, We're fact. America is over, America
Speaker 1: is over. I think that was the sign that that,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, vote locally. Obviously I'm stoked about some
Speaker 1: things here that have happened in l A. But I
Speaker 1: think that was a sign to like organize amongst yourselves
Speaker 1: and have a mutual a mutual aid network of people
Speaker 1: that will help you, because the Democrats are never going
Speaker 1: to help us, and they're never gonna let us get
Speaker 1: a real leftist, progressive candidate. So you know, the Democrats
Speaker 1: will fight that harder than they fight Oh for sure,
Speaker 1: they saw that, they did. Yeah, but if it ends
Speaker 1: up being like Biden Trump and then a leftist Canada
Speaker 1: like in that person will mysteriously die like I'm not
Speaker 1: even kidding, like they they are so afraid of anything
Speaker 1: good ever happening in this country. And also, you know,
Speaker 1: that's why they crushed the sixties is because I can't
Speaker 1: for decades and then you know, eventually, but we have
Speaker 1: different we don't have a culture of rising up. But
Speaker 1: they that's the whole point is that they're saying, you
Speaker 1: can't do a revolution unless you're a bunch of white supremacists,
Speaker 1: and then it's fine and you'll just get a slap
Speaker 1: on the rest. But again, if we tried to lavitate
Speaker 1: the Pentagon, which we shed, right, it's not going well
Speaker 1: for us. I think, yeah, like like you're saying, right,
Speaker 1: there have been constant reminders where yeah, the leaders are
Speaker 1: sing the ship like missing the opportunity or like call
Speaker 1: the pipeline staff, you know, all of the ship that
Speaker 1: we were identifying as existential threats, and they completely just
Speaker 1: they fuck it up. Because again there's just a mixture
Speaker 1: of like one percent of people who understand what the
Speaker 1: stakes are and then like career like demon people who
Speaker 1: just want to take as much corporate donations as possible.
Speaker 1: So because of that, the makeup of the of the
Speaker 1: Congress is not a group of people who get it.
Speaker 1: They're all they're like our old grandparents who have crazy
Speaker 1: capitalist right. And they're also like, we happen to be
Speaker 1: there during the Golden Age, during the one time in
Speaker 1: history when we had this postwar boom of money and
Speaker 1: everybody could have a job for thirty years and then retire.
Speaker 1: Why don't you guys just do that? And it's like, wait, Grandma,
Speaker 1: that's not what the deal is. It's like, well, you
Speaker 1: always have new shoes on, you know, why don't you
Speaker 1: just walk hard and save money and uh, eventually you'll
Speaker 1: be able to buy eight five million dollar house in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles while it's catching on fire. The did you see,
Speaker 1: speaking of the pipeline stuff, did you see that the
Speaker 1: like the villain of one of the main threads of
Speaker 1: the Couch Couch Ella was an environmental attorney. This guy,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Clark, he's like a use the assistant Attorney General,
Speaker 1: and like came in and was basically like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: like I'm going to do the thing where I asked
Speaker 1: people to send different electorers if you just make me
Speaker 1: attorney general and it was like a three hour long meeting.
Speaker 1: But it's just so wild that he's hit by trade
Speaker 1: an environmental attorney. Let's can't even get that right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean again, like I'm bringing up Nixon a lot,
Speaker 1: but like you know, Nixon is to the left of
Speaker 1: like most Democrats at this point, you know, and he
Speaker 1: was like more of an environmentalist than all these people.
Speaker 1: I think things have just shifted so far to the
Speaker 1: right since three again that they're not they're not going back.
Speaker 1: They're just they sucked us so bad and they deassembled
Speaker 1: all the you know, if they had had an again,
Speaker 1: just like if they had had an ounce of like
Speaker 1: doing what what they should do? You know, Biden ran
Speaker 1: on like this new deal kind of thing hasn't done anything.
Speaker 1: So they just don't care. I have to think that
Speaker 1: they just don't care. Yeah, I think there are people
Speaker 1: that do and they but they don't. They don't realize
Speaker 1: how out of their depths they are. They really like,
Speaker 1: because like when you read about the frustrations in the
Speaker 1: White House, it really is it's the elderly trying to
Speaker 1: figure out why young people don't like them. And yeah,
Speaker 1: and agist, it's agist if you don't, like you know,
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, and it's like, well, it's not agist to
Speaker 1: think that it's actually super fucked up to think people
Speaker 1: should work until they die, and especially if you're a
Speaker 1: public servant, like of course you can make our until
Speaker 1: you die, but like should you be in office until
Speaker 1: you die? Probably not. I think these are also difficult
Speaker 1: conversations to have that people don't want to have, especially
Speaker 1: because we're going to have like a huge elderly population
Speaker 1: soon of boomers, just like we're so fucked. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: are so fucked and the people making the decisions are
Speaker 1: all going to die soon. Yeah, like Diane Feinstein, That's
Speaker 1: what I guess, that's what I'm like talking about. Like
Speaker 1: that's where my like small grain of hope and probably
Speaker 1: you know, naive. But that was also like where I
Speaker 1: lost my mind with the RBG stuff, for it was
Speaker 1: just like it's not feminist to fucking stay and off,
Speaker 1: you know, to do it, to refuse to give over
Speaker 1: power to the younger generation, to a younger woman who
Speaker 1: might be able to like protect fucking abortion rights. If
Speaker 1: you could just check the chat, I did send you
Speaker 1: a video of her doing push ups though, so I
Speaker 1: think we're actually clear on that, but it's just like
Speaker 1: as like a left I don't know. I've also maybe
Speaker 1: just like given up on the idea of feminism because
Speaker 1: I've seen just women be manipulated against each other and
Speaker 1: these insane you know, like all the just the Bernie
Speaker 1: and Liz Warre and stuff made me feel so fucking
Speaker 1: insane that I was like, you know what, yeah, given up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I think the only hope that
Speaker 1: I see is that a plurality of people, because their
Speaker 1: living situation becomes so like fucked up, that they begin
Speaker 1: to either interact more like and get more involved or
Speaker 1: at the very least like lose these like weird partisan
Speaker 1: allegiances to be like and I'm a Democrat and I
Speaker 1: do this, and like phase two more like an understanding
Speaker 1: of like we we like people in this country deserve better.
Speaker 1: It's not being delivered and that's where it has to go.
Speaker 1: And I think that the amount of organizing with unions
Speaker 1: I think underlines to that. You're seeing like plenty of
Speaker 1: people are reaching that breaking point. So that's where I'm like,
Speaker 1: the only thing I'm like, well, where's this going to break?
Speaker 1: That's the thing that I look out for that keeps
Speaker 1: me not fully, you know, And I think it's just
Speaker 1: like there's two steps, right, you can get really black pilled,
Speaker 1: And I don't believe in that either. I think you
Speaker 1: have to. Like I just think it's like you're either
Speaker 1: on poor people's side or you're not in The Democrats
Speaker 1: clearly don't give a funk about poor people in this country.
Speaker 1: And you know, we see that in l A too,
Speaker 1: with like the way alleged Democrats treat the homeless. It's
Speaker 1: just like, you know, your fascists, if you so yeah,
Speaker 1: to me, that's like that's all it is. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: do you care? Are? You know? The American mindset of
Speaker 1: just like all get mine is is fucking toxic. And
Speaker 1: we saw during COVID that that was all they did
Speaker 1: was be like everybody, just do your own thing. But
Speaker 1: also yeah, when they gave us unemployment and gave us
Speaker 1: five seconds off, then people did organize and people did
Speaker 1: and then they were like yeah yeah, and then they
Speaker 1: were like never again because they saw that people could,
Speaker 1: you know, spray paint a cab on the Beverly Center,
Speaker 1: which was my favorite art. I think, you know, like
Speaker 1: with all those things, combining right, and there's this is
Speaker 1: like the one thing you hear repeated over and over
Speaker 1: from like the like operative political consultants set is that
Speaker 1: all the billionaire clients are really worried that a real
Speaker 1: conversation shifts to well, who has our money and how
Speaker 1: and what and how is it like that because everything
Speaker 1: they do is to keep the conversation away from like
Speaker 1: their hyper wealth. And I think again, I think it's
Speaker 1: people become slightly less shackled to the idea of like
Speaker 1: how our political system works and understanding that like we
Speaker 1: live in this like casino where people with huge fucking
Speaker 1: amounts of money can do whatever the funk they want
Speaker 1: and sort of enact the kinds of things that they
Speaker 1: want to that we begin to sort of shift that conversation.
Speaker 1: It's definitely not going to happen in the mainstream media
Speaker 1: because that's completely paid for by the people who don't
Speaker 1: who are paying them to not talk about them or
Speaker 1: them or make them the source of their ills. Like
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear conversations around inflation with a huge
Speaker 1: emphasis on corporate profits. That happens maybe once every four days,
Speaker 1: and it's one person who comes on with like long hair,
Speaker 1: like some dude with long hair like doctor who gave
Speaker 1: him the clean bill of Dr Ronnie like whatever. But
Speaker 1: that's like, you know, and I think that's where people
Speaker 1: are slow, Like you see that ball a little bit,
Speaker 1: and I think, again, that's where I'm like, fuck, maybe
Speaker 1: that's as long as we can kind of keep more
Speaker 1: people moving in that direction, then maybe we can figure
Speaker 1: something out. But I do think people are also seeing
Speaker 1: It's like if you pay attention to what's happening rather
Speaker 1: than what people are saying, you pretty much start to
Speaker 1: pick up on that. And again, I think this is
Speaker 1: already in fault. I blame rond Reagan for fucking everything.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they got rid of all the social services,
Speaker 1: they took all the safety nets out of American life,
Speaker 1: and and it it broke America and so right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then they blamed all the resulting destruction on the
Speaker 1: left somehow. Yeah yeah, yeah, because we lit a cop
Speaker 1: crown fire one time. Yeah yeah, yeah, well yeah, because
Speaker 1: they've made they've made like the the like the empathy
Speaker 1: and the acknowledgement of people's humanity like that is on
Speaker 1: like the left. They've weaponized that to say they are
Speaker 1: these freaks who just want to give everything away to everyone.
Speaker 1: And I think what really like the messaging is, it's
Speaker 1: just that all people deserve a base level fucking care
Speaker 1: and support. That's what it is. We we just need to,
Speaker 1: like the the next thing that we have to establish
Speaker 1: as a people in this country, if ever possible, is
Speaker 1: to collectively understand, Okay, this is the bare in the right.
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. It's like that no handouts mindset,
Speaker 1: you know, is the problem because right, it's like, we
Speaker 1: need public housing for unhoused people, but the people who
Speaker 1: hate homeless people also don't think homeless people should get
Speaker 1: free housing of any kind, but instead, like there's this
Speaker 1: thing yesterday that a little walker posted about how like
Speaker 1: they put these fucking rocks all over the freeway margin
Speaker 1: things that are like the last place homeless people can live,
Speaker 1: and they like implemented this like over the overnight. Basically
Speaker 1: they put all these rocks all over the city so
Speaker 1: that homeless people can't camp. But it's like, yeah, what
Speaker 1: if you took the money and fucking effort you spend
Speaker 1: on making it illegal for homeless people to be anywhere
Speaker 1: and just sucking build public housing like the solutions the
Speaker 1: workarounds are a like completely fascist and evil, but like
Speaker 1: they just don't even make any fucking sense. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: no Well because I think that again, we flick at
Speaker 1: this every time, right, the solution is so clear every time,
Speaker 1: but it involves rich people making less money. So the
Speaker 1: fucking ends there. You say, well, guns, fucking no, don't
Speaker 1: fucking make them anymore? Well, then they got to stop
Speaker 1: their business. Okay. What about fucking healthcare? Can we get
Speaker 1: some free? Well, then they gotta they gotta stop their
Speaker 1: business or make less money. Okay. What about fucking climate change,
Speaker 1: Well they gotta make less money off of gas. Okay,
Speaker 1: fuck it. What about policing, Well they gotta. Then they're
Speaker 1: gonna make less money in their salaries. And the military
Speaker 1: industrial complex is also effectively So no, we can't talk
Speaker 1: about any of these. What about building more things? No?
Speaker 1: What if we drop a bunch of rocks on motherfucker's
Speaker 1: Like what? And that's like the absurdity I feel like
Speaker 1: people need to really understand is like logically we can
Speaker 1: most people could be like, why don't just build some houses?
Speaker 1: Why don't you take guns away? Why don't you da
Speaker 1: da up and realize that there is such a huge
Speaker 1: The impediment are the members of Congress who are paid
Speaker 1: by these industries to never facilitate a conversation that leads
Speaker 1: to them making less money. Yeah, that's right, and but
Speaker 1: I so, my only hope is that more people are
Speaker 1: My only hope Obi Wan coming through out of hiding
Speaker 1: where where he kept his same name. Uh No, My
Speaker 1: only hope is that it just seems like more people
Speaker 1: are aware of this than ever before. There's no mainstream
Speaker 1: media is talking about it, but there are like places
Speaker 1: for them to communicate with one another. It's just like
Speaker 1: something I don't know that there seems like there is
Speaker 1: more energy than is being acknowledged. And in fact, the
Speaker 1: lack of acknowledgement for the energy on the left is
Speaker 1: probably part of the plan. Or I mean, they definitely
Speaker 1: didn't cover the like the l A election, which kind
Speaker 1: of went well for the leftest Canaida Santa San Francisco recall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know again, just like being offline, being in
Speaker 1: real life with other people who have been organizing also
Speaker 1: just makes you be like, oh, yeah, like the world
Speaker 1: isn't horrible, Yeah, you just got to be off the internet, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Because I honestly like because you like I like you said,
Speaker 1: you'll read one thing and then you read so many
Speaker 1: different opinions on one thing and it does do your head.
Speaker 1: You're like what And part of it is just that
Speaker 1: the internet will make you feel bad. That is its
Speaker 1: purpose and it's like it's free because you're the product,
Speaker 1: and you know, keeping you engaged with like doom scrolling
Speaker 1: is how they're making money. I mean, right now, if
Speaker 1: you're just Google a mutual aid group in your city
Speaker 1: and meet those people, yeah, definitely. I don't think meet
Speaker 1: people humans too, like that will be very it will
Speaker 1: be it will bring you life to know that like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, okay, there's other people get involved with, like
Speaker 1: other human beings. You know, there's a lot of great
Speaker 1: community fridge programs right now in l A that popped
Speaker 1: up during the pandemic. That yeah. I mean again, it's
Speaker 1: like it's not all bad. Sorry to be so, I
Speaker 1: get it, but that's what it is. That's I think
Speaker 1: that's what we feel in this country right like we're
Speaker 1: we're watching our neighbors die. It's so extreme. I think
Speaker 1: that's the thing is it's so extreme and it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is more like Chile than people in America in
Speaker 1: mainstream media would like to acknowledge and that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of fascism and also there is a lot of
Speaker 1: energy on the left and desire to overthrow all the
Speaker 1: bullshit and them telling us that can't happen as part
Speaker 1: of how they keep everyone in their place, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1: Quick story about another way they're keeping us in our place,
Speaker 1: which is a new reality show. But it's gonna break records.
Speaker 1: Oh god, is this the squid Game? The real life
Speaker 1: squid Game speaking us and in one place the dystopia. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we're back, And so a squid Game for a
Speaker 1: season two? Um, that was That was news that you
Speaker 1: might have caught a couple days back, but even more news.
Speaker 1: Netflix very focused on the on the bottom line, on
Speaker 1: on how Wall Street is looking at them, and they
Speaker 1: wanted another squid Game headline, probably presumably, And so they
Speaker 1: came up, got put their heads together in a boardroom
Speaker 1: and we're like, what if squid Game was real? And
Speaker 1: like one of them died because there had exploded, and
Speaker 1: but yeah, so Netflix has green lit squid Game that Challenge,
Speaker 1: a reality competition series based on the hit South Korean drama.
Speaker 1: If you watched it, you might remember that the hit
Speaker 1: South Korean drama was a social commentary on you know,
Speaker 1: a world in which people are so desperate for money
Speaker 1: that they will kill and be killed in order to
Speaker 1: like win a chance at a single pot of money.
Speaker 1: And it was like this is this is really depressing
Speaker 1: and like what what it's come to? Netflix was like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: more on that later, Shut the funk up. What if
Speaker 1: we what if we were like the rich guys in
Speaker 1: that room and they are yeah, apparently do they do?
Speaker 1: We know how it works? Like it's just gonna be
Speaker 1: back stabbery, gone wild. I feel like that's the only
Speaker 1: way you do because people are gonna die. Obvious. Well
Speaker 1: are there? It's four fifty six players compete competing for
Speaker 1: four point five six million, which is a reality television
Speaker 1: record for in terms of prize money. What about is
Speaker 1: that adjusted for inflation? I'm sure that I I don't know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, that's it's actually the third biggest. It's
Speaker 1: actually less than the original. Who wants to be a millionaire? Price?
Speaker 1: But I'm sure there will be like children's games where
Speaker 1: people are like trying to Yeah, but just without the
Speaker 1: death I'm assuming, but it's there. There has to be
Speaker 1: like some level of like spills and like wipe out,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You kind of need to
Speaker 1: see people get wrecked, like in a non life threatening way.
Speaker 1: We're really gonna go all in on that. But I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I'm just pitching myself. I'm putting myself out there Netflix
Speaker 1: if you need somebody to play one of the rich
Speaker 1: American guys who's in the thing and being like, I
Speaker 1: love this game, bring me more champagne. As you've heard already,
Speaker 1: my nickname is Anti Union Jack. I have a logo
Speaker 1: which is the Union Jack. That was a joke. That
Speaker 1: was a joke about the Union Jack. Yeah. No, I
Speaker 1: loved it and I'm running with it. That was you
Speaker 1: were You were front and center at the Queen's Jubilee.
Speaker 1: I was with Young and Jack with the Ghostbusters X
Speaker 1: over it and people didn't people didn't appreciate it, even
Speaker 1: though I'm here for the Platinum Jubes. I think my
Speaker 1: power came back there we go. I think I made
Speaker 1: somebody happy. What do you what game was? That was
Speaker 1: the Queen blessing you from heaven? Yes, and we're back
Speaker 1: and We're back and the Queen has been daved. For
Speaker 1: those who don't remember that Kevin Klein film directed by
Speaker 1: Ivan Rightman, where a man played the President who was
Speaker 1: actually I think in a coma queen has been I
Speaker 1: love turning Dave into Yeah, Molly, you you've been turning
Speaker 1: fuckingest like dudes wanting to be the fuckingest dude. I think,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love that Turner phrase. I used it
Speaker 1: a lot when I'm watching my favorite television show, The
Speaker 1: Offer about the Making of The god Father, which there's
Speaker 1: a guy named Already is the producer and he's the
Speaker 1: fuckingest guy on that show, which means Robert Evans is
Speaker 1: kind of like a beta cock to him on the show.
Speaker 1: But it's produced by the guys produced by Already, so
Speaker 1: he can't be out fucked by Robert Evans her own show. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: what if the kid didn't stay in the picture, that's right,
Speaker 1: What if the kid got the fun out of it
Speaker 1: actually work? Actually, I mean, what if what if the
Speaker 1: kids a fucking loser? Really? I mean, that's what's funny.
Speaker 1: It's like it's sort of maybe it's like like accidentally
Speaker 1: accurate by portraying Robert Evans is kind of a dork,
Speaker 1: which he for sure was right, and for people that's
Speaker 1: a film producer, not the podcast. Not the podcast, although
Speaker 1: he plays the producer on my show Yeah, which is
Speaker 1: apropos um. I would say, like, okay, but back to
Speaker 1: the squid games thing. Do you think they will do
Speaker 1: some of Like will they do the moving and like
Speaker 1: but like paintballs and ship? Yeah, probably paintballs. Maybe it'll
Speaker 1: just be like a like laser daughter or something where
Speaker 1: they're just like counted out. Presumably they won't be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: presumably they won't be shot. I think they will definitely
Speaker 1: sleep in the giant barracks like looks like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a reality show. I think Tug of War will be
Speaker 1: heavily involved and they will probably to to your point,
Speaker 1: like the way that like reality show competition seem to
Speaker 1: be going is like using special effects to make it
Speaker 1: seem as though the loser has been killed. Like isn't
Speaker 1: that a thing that happens on that one show where
Speaker 1: they're like, uh, you got the answer wrong and then
Speaker 1: you just like disappear down a dark hole right right? Right? Oh?
Speaker 1: I feel like it wasn't The in the floor is lava,
Speaker 1: like if you phone the floor, like they kind of
Speaker 1: pretended it was actually lava. That that was a Netflix
Speaker 1: innovation too, is that you would fall in the lava
Speaker 1: and then they would cut the part where you came
Speaker 1: you popped back out and you would just like swim
Speaker 1: off camera. I guess, yeah, yeah, so they they're already there.
Speaker 1: They're already like so people want to believe um that
Speaker 1: these desperate people who are you know, just debasing themselves
Speaker 1: to compete for this big sum of money are actually
Speaker 1: dying in the process. Like that that was their takeaway
Speaker 1: from I bet. Do you think they'll produce it to
Speaker 1: the point like because there, you know, I'm sure like
Speaker 1: the first game will like probably get rid of the
Speaker 1: cast because it's like there's no way you can facilitate
Speaker 1: that many people. What it's bad storytelling? Yeah yeah, but
Speaker 1: then they like they set it up so like there
Speaker 1: are dudes who like went to high school together but
Speaker 1: never talked to each other, and they're like, whoa, Brett,
Speaker 1: you're here. I thought we're doing well. He's like, I
Speaker 1: had way too much money in Crypto Man to Square one.
Speaker 1: I'm here at the Squid Game like you. But Brett
