Speaker 1: So I'm glad that we're out here. Man. Oh oh
Speaker 1: you sure about that? Dramas trying to trying to do
Speaker 1: other things. Just so you know what's leave, we will
Speaker 1: no longer be friends with you. Is it sad that
Speaker 1: we work in like an industry where that's kind of
Speaker 1: the norm, where it's like, oh, you want to move
Speaker 1: up in the world and go funk yourself. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean definitely, I think yet as someone who's worked
Speaker 1: in radio, I've definitely know that I know that energy
Speaker 1: very well, and that's why I think I like podcasting.
Speaker 1: The stakes are everyone's so much more relaxed and podcasting
Speaker 1: versus my time, like competitive, like competitive digital media or radio.
Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't know how it is on
Speaker 1: first rate podcast though. Maybe they're more cut rate, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: not cut rate. We're cut rate. Maybe they're more cut throat,
Speaker 1: cut throat, you know, but we're uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: get it. We were like, wait, why is this dude
Speaker 1: working for us in the first place? Like that was
Speaker 1: the that was the que secret meeting we had behind
Speaker 1: your back when you first start. We're like, wait, yeah,
Speaker 1: cit does mean has he heard our show? Like? Man, okay,
Speaker 1: I like this. He honors us. So what's good? Man?
Speaker 1: You're coming to us from the East Coast? Everything good
Speaker 1: over there? You're feeling that winter weather, dude, I'm feeling
Speaker 1: the winter. Whether the bugs over here are apparently feeling
Speaker 1: the winter weather because they're trying to get inside of
Speaker 1: my house. Apparently it's like a thing. I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the stink bugs, dude, Like I'm telling you, like
Speaker 1: legions and legions of them trying to find every crevice
Speaker 1: they can to get in the house. So it's been
Speaker 1: like constant battle of killing these bugs and trying to
Speaker 1: figure out where the hell they're coming in from. And
Speaker 1: do stinks actually smell bad? Or is that just a
Speaker 1: mean nickname we gave them to try and get them
Speaker 1: to leave us alone. I think it's a mean nickname
Speaker 1: that Pete is probably gonna come and try you knowing
Speaker 1: us for at one point. But I've killed a few
Speaker 1: and I haven't smelled anything. I was wondering the same thing.
Speaker 1: I was always like concerned about killing them in the
Speaker 1: house and if it was gonna think of the place.
Speaker 1: But if that were my place, just smells and I
Speaker 1: can't tell the difference. You know, that's a good possibility. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it kind of stinks in here, dralmost No, it's it's
Speaker 1: always trying to get in here like shelter or some ship.
Speaker 1: I should have used that. I actually should have kept that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they smell real bad, but real, real terrible the type
Speaker 1: of smell to them. Yeah, they smell like somebody's been
Speaker 1: working out in the same gym clothes hasn't washed them
Speaker 1: for three months. Probably because I think it smells like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, ignore that pilot clothes in the corner. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of stink bugs hang out on my dirty launches.
Speaker 1: That's why it smells like that. Yeah, I was Are
Speaker 1: you a Yankee fan? Yes, okay, I was just curious
Speaker 1: because we said, you know, like you know you you
Speaker 1: you come. You know when we said, when you're that gang, once,
Speaker 1: you're always that gang. Is that? Is that just a
Speaker 1: sentiment like every sports team has, because like Arsenal, they'll say,
Speaker 1: once a gun are always a gunner a lot like
Speaker 1: a lot of Lakers will say, Yo, once you're a Laker,
Speaker 1: you're always a Laker. Is do Yankee fans say something
Speaker 1: like that or they say, hey, thanks for that, thanks
Speaker 1: for that chip not funck off? Now? I think Yankee
Speaker 1: fans you have to be like a Yankee fan for life,
Speaker 1: especially because we have another team like in the same city.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like what about the players though,
Speaker 1: player I mean, I definitely said, like I don't funk
Speaker 1: with certain players anymore because they left the Yankees, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I'm gonna I mean, I'm I'm guilty.
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of that. Even if it wasn't like their choice.
Speaker 1: I'm still like, no, man, funk that guy? You know? Um,
Speaker 1: But but you know what I mean, the greats yet
Speaker 1: that that have helped out. You got to kind of
Speaker 1: give it up to them and still you know, celebrate them.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, definitely. I mean it's pretty cut. As
Speaker 1: long as they don't go to Boston. I guess I
Speaker 1: should say if they go to Boston afterwards, then it's
Speaker 1: a problem from Boston. Damon. Yeah, I mean that's to me.
Speaker 1: That's also like, you know, when I'm a Buccaneers fan too,
Speaker 1: so when Tom Brady came over, I hated Tom Brady
Speaker 1: on the Patriots, but now it's like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I kind of fun with this guy. I see what
Speaker 1: the you know, the fuss is about. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think nine game and once he cut his his hair
Speaker 1: and became a real Yankee and all that and the
Speaker 1: beard and all that stuff. You know, I was okay
Speaker 1: with it. So yeah, yeah, I remember I was a
Speaker 1: Sox fan at that time, and that was the Socks
Speaker 1: are not The Sox fans are in no way trying
Speaker 1: to be people who are like, yeah, you know, once
Speaker 1: a Socks fan, once a Red Sox, always a Red Sock.
Speaker 1: They're just like fuck that, dude. Yeah. Yeah, it's very Boston,
Speaker 1: all right, dramas, we're gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of
Speaker 1: things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about Chris Cuomo
Speaker 1: being out at CNN or at least on a suspension
Speaker 1: doesn't look definitely indefinite suspension. Take a take a breather.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about what all was revealed in
Speaker 1: these most recent documents that got his ass kicked to
Speaker 1: the curb. We're gonna talk about whether the Republicans are
Speaker 1: just like generally positioning themselves as a pro COVID nineteen party,
Speaker 1: like if that's just they're across the board alliance, because
Speaker 1: now they're threatening to shut down the government over vaccines
Speaker 1: and testing. We also found out that Trump it was
Speaker 1: just like just doing the most that he possibly could
Speaker 1: to be the number one COVID nineteen spreader in the
Speaker 1: history of the disease. So we'll talk about that. We
Speaker 1: will ask the question on everyone's mind, who the funk
Speaker 1: is dr oz I guess everyone under the age of
Speaker 1: you know, fifty, And we'll talk about NASA's Killer Asteroid
Speaker 1: plan all of that plenty more. But first dramas, we
Speaker 1: do like to ask, I guess what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history? Man? For my search history. It's not
Speaker 1: even anything interesting. Dog grooming near me has been a
Speaker 1: constant search for my searches, and I have a new
Speaker 1: puppy at home, so yeah, get his nails are literally
Speaker 1: like the fucking sharpest, the sharpest thing I've ever seen
Speaker 1: on an animal my entire life, and it's just caused
Speaker 1: a lot of chaos in my my life with the
Speaker 1: people around me not wanting to be around the dog anymore.
Speaker 1: So we gotta get them clipped. What kind of dog
Speaker 1: do you are? You have a dog a tiger and
Speaker 1: they yeah, across my style, dude. But like I've I've
Speaker 1: had puppies before, I've had dogs in the past, and
Speaker 1: I've never like experienced a dog with like just talents
Speaker 1: like this. He's a he's a mix of a Labrador
Speaker 1: and a bulldog and he literally like will make you
Speaker 1: bleed if he just jumps on you and like happen
Speaker 1: to catch your arms. So it's become a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you're looking to lean into that, You're looking for
Speaker 1: the right groom or to sharpen those motherfucker's up right,
Speaker 1: and like, well, also I'm looking at that to really
Speaker 1: make him a guard dog that nobody will actually want
Speaker 1: to come to my house anymore. But it's somehow like,
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's just really booked and busy right now,
Speaker 1: like that, I want like the mobile dog groomer to
Speaker 1: come to me, and they're like, yeah, we're not taking
Speaker 1: any more clients. I'm like, man, people are out here
Speaker 1: like caking in the dog grooming business. And it also
Speaker 1: has me thinking to myself, I should just like buy
Speaker 1: a truck and get into this if that's what it's like,
Speaker 1: that you're turning down new business at this point. Yeah. Wait,
Speaker 1: you're saying people are treating it like some elite preschool
Speaker 1: and they're like yeah, or just unable to take any
Speaker 1: more applicants at the moment, I just see my dogs
Speaker 1: toneenails cut off right, Yeah, And that's what I felt.
Speaker 1: I felt insulted because she was like, oh, are you
Speaker 1: a returning customers? Like no new customers? Like, oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: no more new customers and okay, so yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: how I know you definitely knew because you just thought
Speaker 1: you could just call in here and get hooked up.
Speaker 1: I do remember that from like getting our dogs grooms
Speaker 1: when we like first moved out to l a then
Speaker 1: being like, all right, well, we just need to like
Speaker 1: have them come through for an interview and then we'll,
Speaker 1: you know, see what they're like. If if the energy
Speaker 1: is aligned, then we'll set up an appointment. Damn okay.
Speaker 1: And then we found a place that was much cheaper
Speaker 1: and did not give a fuck. I just went this
Speaker 1: one because that's the dog grooming thing was just in
Speaker 1: that article I was reading about people who are leaving
Speaker 1: part of the great resignation that one of these people
Speaker 1: who was like dog grooming for like a bigger chain store,
Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm gonna just do my own thing
Speaker 1: because I'm talking to other people who I used to
Speaker 1: know from that same grind and they're they're loving their
Speaker 1: life now as like a mobile drog groomer or pet
Speaker 1: were in general. So the whole man, I had no idea,
Speaker 1: but let me, let's power of this gang. If you're
Speaker 1: in the garden state, uh you know, and you can
Speaker 1: and you can fit in a new client for your
Speaker 1: prestigious grooming business, please dramas. Yeah, yeah, your North Jersey,
Speaker 1: Mid Jersey, you're I am a Central Jersey and I
Speaker 1: appreciate that you recognize that it is a real thing.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I can tell you're from the air. You
Speaker 1: spent some time at Philly. You might as well be
Speaker 1: in Philly if yourself exactly exactly. Yeah. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: on search history, I do just want to acknowledge. I
Speaker 1: always like to point this out whenever we have somebody
Speaker 1: on who passes this test when you put your name
Speaker 1: into Google and the do a space the second the
Speaker 1: first one is DJ Drama's breakfast club. The second one
Speaker 1: is DJ Drama's girlfriend. So wow, people surprised. Doctor dr
Speaker 1: Amos didn't show up on that one. He's apparently a
Speaker 1: doctor in Africa doing some great work. And that was
Speaker 1: always the like Google alert that would come up when
Speaker 1: I had that set up for like dramas would be
Speaker 1: dr Amos, DJ doctor Amos, I'm moving up in the world.
Speaker 1: There you go, dr Amos on the Google search. I
Speaker 1: feel really grateful. Good for you. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is overrated? Alright, so I think this is going
Speaker 1: to piss a lot of people off, but I think
Speaker 1: that Breaking Bad is overrated? Mm hmm, alright, what about it? Going? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I just like I tried watching my two and
Speaker 1: a half three episodes and I couldn't get into it.
Speaker 1: And every time I tell somebody this, who's like a
Speaker 1: breaking bad stand, they tell me, you just gotta keep
Speaker 1: watching the season gets better. And my argument would be,
Speaker 1: do I really have to invest that much time into
Speaker 1: it to actually enjoy? Like the show should be good
Speaker 1: and hook me. I feel like from the start I
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to like invest an entire season into it's
Speaker 1: actually like it. That's my argument when it comes to
Speaker 1: the show. That's what's so good about the show? Is
Speaker 1: it fucking sucks at first. That's how you know it's
Speaker 1: it's such ship and then you figure it out that
Speaker 1: it's bad, but it's too late, and then you're like, no,
Speaker 1: it was actually really good. It's like one of the
Speaker 1: best series ever. I mean I get that, I get
Speaker 1: that lack of momentum. That's like the whole reason I
Speaker 1: never watched mad Men, because like I was, two episodes,
Speaker 1: what then, and people like you gotta get in more.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I don't, so I don't keep going
Speaker 1: with something else. I'm bad at these like I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like Game of Thrones, like all the shows
Speaker 1: that people are like, I think the greatest show ever
Speaker 1: I just can't get into it. So maybe it also
Speaker 1: is a meeting, right, I bet it's probably harder, like
Speaker 1: because I remember I got into Breaking Bad, like maybe
Speaker 1: after the second season had rapped for the third season
Speaker 1: had rapped, and at that point, like a lot of
Speaker 1: people are talking about it. I was like, nah, I
Speaker 1: don't know, like whatever, and then I just watched it
Speaker 1: just to see. But I didn't have people being like
Speaker 1: you gotta like watch it, like watch those episode. Was
Speaker 1: just like my natural curiosity took me there. And I
Speaker 1: wonder if sometimes, like when you feel almost obligated to
Speaker 1: watch a show to like, you know, keep up with
Speaker 1: the discourse or whatever, that it's just the motivations are
Speaker 1: a little bit different, and then it has like even
Speaker 1: like a even more a stronger litmus test that it
Speaker 1: has to pass for you to be like, okay, I'll
Speaker 1: watch it. Yeah. It might be the hype, like if
Speaker 1: it doesn't you know what I mean, like because it's
Speaker 1: so overhyped, if it doesn't live up to your expectation
Speaker 1: of it just being like amazing from the get it
Speaker 1: might I don't know. I just I don't get these
Speaker 1: like hype you know, hype beast type of shows. I
Speaker 1: guess maybe I put too many, you know, it's too
Speaker 1: much expectation on them. Yeah, Breaking Bad does stand out
Speaker 1: to me is one that like really goes up a
Speaker 1: level after the first few episodes. And by the way,
Speaker 1: for any listeners who heard my son came to my door,
Speaker 1: my three year old to tell me there's a fly
Speaker 1: in the house. He also was not wearing any pants
Speaker 1: on his bottom and so I had to deal with
Speaker 1: tol you toward. He's home from school today, So apologies
Speaker 1: for any scattered nous. Breaking Bad does stand out as
Speaker 1: as a show that kind of changes, like steps up
Speaker 1: a level. I don't I don't think mad men really
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, the first like they're like I get that,
Speaker 1: I get it slow. Well, like I'm like maybe because
Speaker 1: I don't fantasize about this era and general like First
Speaker 1: wasn't a good time for people like me. So I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let me go there and watch that. Break Bad turns
Speaker 1: from like a family drama into like right, and I
Speaker 1: think that's why I wanted some like fucking gangster ship.
Speaker 1: And then it was just like this dude with his
Speaker 1: family and like you know, I mean, listen, I get
Speaker 1: great storyline but it wasn't what I was there for.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. Well with that though in mind, I'm
Speaker 1: curious if because did you get to the part where
Speaker 1: like he's like he starts he gets on the gangster
Speaker 1: and starts blowing shut up. No, no, I got to
Speaker 1: the part where they're like, basically, just figure out what
Speaker 1: to do with that one dude in the tub. Essentially, oh,
Speaker 1: got it, got it? Got it. I mean that was
Speaker 1: I think a moment when I was like, oh shit, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: things changed a little bit there, but that season one
Speaker 1: isn't it? Dude? Honestly, I don't even know anymore. I'm
Speaker 1: like all love the place with shows that have come out. Wait,
Speaker 1: what's the show that you do like of all the uh,
Speaker 1: you know, like when people talk about the great shows, like,
Speaker 1: what's the one that you've that you vibe with? Are
Speaker 1: you just in generally like I don't really think any
Speaker 1: of these are good? No, I mean I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of like what what the hype? I like, like
Speaker 1: Sons of Anarchy you have no shame of saying that,
Speaker 1: like you know, fell off a couple of seasons, but
Speaker 1: like of of the hype I was into it. I
Speaker 1: followed it till the till the very end, you know,
Speaker 1: to watch the Sopranos. Sopranos, I never have sat down
Speaker 1: and watched an episode so that when I'm willing to.
Speaker 1: But I've never actually sat and watched an episode for
Speaker 1: The Wire. The Wire, same thing. Yeah, I think, you know,
Speaker 1: there's there's some good there's some good ones in there,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I mean, in general, maybe the
Speaker 1: long form TV doesn't really get you. Then it doesn't
Speaker 1: get it might be daunting now because there's so many seasons,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like and it's like the
Speaker 1: to catch up on it all, like you know, it's
Speaker 1: just I can binge watch it for a long time.
Speaker 1: But I feel like Sons of Anarchy was like one
Speaker 1: episode a week. I can commit to that, you know.
Speaker 1: Where it's like now being able to watch every episode
Speaker 1: at one time. It feels like, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know answer Entourage. I love that show from start to finish,
Speaker 1: Like first season, all right, that one, that's my show.
Speaker 1: That that's definitely one, especially when they were you know,
Speaker 1: super producer on Ajsie, I was asking if you like
Speaker 1: Boardwalk Empire. But I can just tell already that's a
Speaker 1: South Jersey show. Yeah, I can't can't funk with it.
Speaker 1: Sorry that if you didn't like it's not gonna with
Speaker 1: board Walk Empire. Come on, yeah, I gotta draw the
Speaker 1: line there. What is something you think is underrated? Alright,
Speaker 1: so I think being at this place in my life,
Speaker 1: so I was broke for a very very long time.
Speaker 1: Now I'm like doing okay, right, So your palettes when
Speaker 1: it comes to food begins to elevate when you're in
Speaker 1: a position where you have a little bit of extra
Speaker 1: change to spend around. And this isn't even anything crazy,
Speaker 1: but like a good bun, like a bread bun, is
Speaker 1: like a life changing experience, like a nice Brioche bun,
Speaker 1: like a nice brioshe hot dog bun Hamburg like that
Speaker 1: to me, it changed my life. And oh it's a
Speaker 1: trader Joe's. Trader Joe's has a quality, brio spun and
Speaker 1: like to the point that like I a few months
Speaker 1: ago had my parents over and I was growing up
Speaker 1: like some Italian sausages, and I toasted a beautiful Brioch
Speaker 1: bun and like it blew their mind how good this was.
Speaker 1: And obviously we we came from like buying like the
Speaker 1: cheapest like you know, bun that you could possibly buy
Speaker 1: at like the supermarket, you know what I mean, nothing
Speaker 1: of quality. Half the time it wasn't fresh. So to me,
Speaker 1: this is just like some game changing type of stuff.
Speaker 1: It's a very snobby thing, but I think it good.
Speaker 1: Fun changes the whole course, like that come up when
Speaker 1: you go from pon Beambo to brio you know what?
Speaker 1: And know mm hmm, yeah that's I'm sure in that
Speaker 1: moment when they're like this is so good, right, how
Speaker 1: did you do that? You probably looked at your parents
Speaker 1: are like, hey see your son's doing you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm out here. You could be proud of
Speaker 1: your kids proudly the kid. The meat was actually from
Speaker 1: the Tiger King meat Wagon, but it was so good
Speaker 1: you guys didn't even know this. Yeah, from that wart
Speaker 1: that just shut down. I also I also have these
Speaker 1: like haunting memories of being a kid and my one
Speaker 1: friend who's like house I've always have dinner at They
Speaker 1: would have hamburgers with wonder bread, and I feel like
Speaker 1: that's also been a part of it, where like you know,
Speaker 1: you know, when you bite into a wonder bread hamburger
Speaker 1: and that Bune just sticks to the roof of your mouth,
Speaker 1: ruins everything. So I think, you know, like that was
Speaker 1: my childhood. So now to be, you know, out here
Speaker 1: just flexing at Trader Joe's, it's just like, you know
Speaker 1: what I've what I've been missing my entire life to
Speaker 1: blow in my mind. You just gave me such a
Speaker 1: sense memory of wonder Bread hamburgers and the hamburger being
Speaker 1: like grilled in its own grease and maybe a little
Speaker 1: bit past the time that it would have been at
Speaker 1: its best. And yeah, there's it doesn't work. No, it's terrible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Wonderbread P B and J. Though I could do I
Speaker 1: could do that. I'm more of like the Italian brand
Speaker 1: Slice Bread. I'm not sure if it's that's actual name,
Speaker 1: but it's like Italian is a name on the outside
Speaker 1: of it that cut that flag on it. Right, Yeah, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. They're telling you that's also
Speaker 1: truly a stick to your roof the roof of your
Speaker 1: mouth experiences a PB and J with wonder Bread, Like yeah,
Speaker 1: the way the crush just like flakes, it's just terrible.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know, I mean, it's it's a
Speaker 1: shocker that they've been in business this long. You know,
Speaker 1: the one thing I would do is I would take
Speaker 1: the Oscar Meyer cheese filled hot dogs and I would
Speaker 1: I would eat that in a slice of wonder bread.
Speaker 1: That was my go to in ninety seven to two
Speaker 1: thousand nine until nine eleven. I can't do it anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it certainly it doesn't help. Like this, was it
Speaker 1: related to nine eleven or that just happens to be
Speaker 1: a like I think it was like this combination of
Speaker 1: like my high school girlfriend being like, that's disgusting, what
Speaker 1: are you eating? And that was around nine eleven, and
Speaker 1: then also I remember it was her personal nine eleven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all that to say that was actually uh June of
Speaker 1: two two. I'm sorry when I say nine eleven. It's
Speaker 1: the moment my high school girlfriend told me to stop
Speaker 1: eating those cheese hot dogs. That and like the local
Speaker 1: grocery story just like ran out of him for a second.
Speaker 1: So cut to now, like I'm with her, majesty, my partner. Now,
Speaker 1: when I brought home that ship, she was like, what
Speaker 1: the funk is this? And I'm like, don't worry about
Speaker 1: it's not for you, okay, and ignore it. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like one of those ideas that like it sounds
Speaker 1: great in theory, but when you actually try it, it's just, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a mess. It's just salt and vague cheese flavor.
Speaker 1: I mean, just do it like a cheese burger and
Speaker 1: put cheese on top of your hot dog. She had
Speaker 1: the whizzy GLIZZI with the whizz inside the wizzy. Oh no,
Speaker 1: that's next level. Did you ever yourself or know anybody
Speaker 1: who just ate hot dogs cold out of the out
Speaker 1: of the ref great confession. No, I did it a
Speaker 1: couple of times because like I don't in my elementary school,
Speaker 1: like fourth and fifth grade was combined, and like my
Speaker 1: cool fifth grade friend like did that, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to be him, So I started
Speaker 1: doing it, and I was like, you know, this just
Speaker 1: feels like salmonell. I'm sure it doesn't give it to you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's they are better than that. But he's like,
Speaker 1: why would you cook it? It's like the same thing.
Speaker 1: He was like one of those like smart kids who
Speaker 1: like had weird takes. You know, also, like hot dogs
Speaker 1: are fully there's no there's no risk, it's a risk process.
Speaker 1: But also like it just tasted like like like string
Speaker 1: cheese and ship like a cucumber on the farm. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's gross. Yeah, thanks, Yeah, alright, well let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break. I will try and just eternal sunshine of
Speaker 1: the spotless mind to that memory out my brain, and uh,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. And we're back, and we've got
Speaker 1: part two, The Godfather, Part two of the Cuomo brother
Speaker 1: saga Cuomo Wow Part two. Guy, poor guy, Chris Cuomo,
Speaker 1: such a look, always living in the shadow of his
Speaker 1: more important sibling Andrew. Nothing again, as much as he
Speaker 1: hates being compared to Fredo Corleoni, that's a that's a slur,
Speaker 1: but it's a slur. Also, just want to read a
Speaker 1: vague line from the Fredo Corleoni Wikipedia page, just saying
Speaker 1: in the films, Fredo's feelings of personal inadequacy and his
Speaker 1: inability to act effectively on his own behalf or character
Speaker 1: flaws leading to greater consequences. Okay, keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: We now talk about Chris Cuomo trying to do what
Speaker 1: he thinks is right for his brother, trying to stick
Speaker 1: up for him. So he's not just a loyal brother,
Speaker 1: but he's also you know, like in a familiar sense,
Speaker 1: but in like the toxic male sense, where you know,
Speaker 1: secrets just aren't kept there being actively suppressed. And that
Speaker 1: is sort of the news that that came out when
Speaker 1: the New York Attorney General dropped some more documents regarding
Speaker 1: Andrew's harassment allegations, and in those documents we're seeing text
Speaker 1: transcripts where Chris is talking to the chief of staff
Speaker 1: Melissa Rosa of the Governor's office, saying things like, quote,
Speaker 1: this is something that like Andrew Cuomo's chief of staff
Speaker 1: texted to Chris, quote rumor going around from political one
Speaker 1: to two more people coming out tomorrow. Can you check
Speaker 1: your sources? Cuomo is a prying on it, and then
Speaker 1: later on saying no one has heard that yet. So okay,
Speaker 1: so you just looking up some stuff. I hear that,
Speaker 1: but that still seems to be counter to what you
Speaker 1: said you were doing when you denied you've had any
Speaker 1: hand in helping your brother or looking into allegations. Then
Speaker 1: there was another one. Let's just like just to pause
Speaker 1: on that. So he has like inside sources at these
Speaker 1: other press outlets, and he is like checking with them
Speaker 1: in a way that is, you know, everybody knows who
Speaker 1: he is. They know it's his brother, Like, so that's
Speaker 1: probably applying a little bit of pressure behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: right of like or he's or if he's you know,
Speaker 1: smart and he's trying to keep it low. He has
Speaker 1: another producer he knows asked someone, so it's not coming
Speaker 1: directly from him, but he can get that information from
Speaker 1: other places. And still, you know, essentially like like we're
Speaker 1: seeing fucking strategize with the governor's office to figure out
Speaker 1: their best sort of optics pr defense against these allegations.
Speaker 1: There's another one where he says, I have a lead
Speaker 1: on the wedding girl, which is referring to another of
Speaker 1: Andrew's accusers. He said that in a deposition, he said,
Speaker 1: quote that my friend heard that maybe she had just
Speaker 1: been put up to it. Now that's interesting because there's
Speaker 1: a fucking picture of wedding girl with your brother in
Speaker 1: this moment where he was groping her face asking her
Speaker 1: he could kiss her. So, like, I don't know how
Speaker 1: that squares with this whole thing, like she was put
Speaker 1: up to you know, all this other stuff. When you're
Speaker 1: like looking at things very clearly, she looks visibly uncomfortable
Speaker 1: and really scared and he looks like, for lack of
Speaker 1: a better comparison, and I used this a lot. But
Speaker 1: when in the in the movie The Mask, the Jim
Speaker 1: Carrey movie, when he loses the mask and the bad
Speaker 1: guy Dorian puts it on and turns into that nasty motherfucker,
Speaker 1: that's what Andrew Cuomo looks like. And he's like and
Speaker 1: she's not feeling it um And that was what, you know,
Speaker 1: that was part of her testimony. So I think we're
Speaker 1: getting a clear idea of what's going on here. Chris
Speaker 1: again using his position as a I guess quote journalist
Speaker 1: at CNN whatever that means, to find out any info
Speaker 1: to help his brother. Yet up and down, he said
Speaker 1: he would never have use this position he you know,
Speaker 1: on I Believe on the air, he said, quote, I
Speaker 1: never attacked nor encouraged anyone to attack any woman who
Speaker 1: came forward. I never made calls to the press about
Speaker 1: my brother's situation. So yeah, it's interesting because the unevolved
Speaker 1: like version of me that was raised on toxic masculinity
Speaker 1: is like, oh, he's being a good brother, right, But
Speaker 1: then when you really break it down, because I've heard
Speaker 1: people saying that, but when you really break it down,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, actually he's assisting in women's voices
Speaker 1: being suppressed. Who who felt like they were being you know,
Speaker 1: sexually assaulted or abused or made uncomfortable in the workplace.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I feel like I've seen
Speaker 1: a lot of people just like, well, what do you
Speaker 1: expect the brother do? But yeah, he's actively trying to
Speaker 1: hide these these woman's experience. You know, regardless of your
Speaker 1: brother or not, he's doing right, right, and this is
Speaker 1: the thing. Right. So even when he so he had
Speaker 1: to testify during the course of the investigation from the
Speaker 1: Attorney General's office. In his testimony, the way he tried
Speaker 1: to put it was like your point, dramast is like,
Speaker 1: I'm just being a brother here, I'm just growing out. Okay. Quote,
Speaker 1: this is my brother, and I'm trying to help my
Speaker 1: brother through a situation where he has told me he
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. And that's it for me. How do
Speaker 1: I protect my family? How do I protect him? Probably
Speaker 1: should have been thinking more about how I protect myself,
Speaker 1: which just never occurred to me. And that was it.
Speaker 1: And now he's being indefinitely suspended, and like you're saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people have been like, well, you know
Speaker 1: the family, you know, blah blah blah, And look, I
Speaker 1: I understand. I understand that ride or die logic because
Speaker 1: I'm sure many of us, as loyal friends, you'll do,
Speaker 1: like you literally do anything for your friends or your family.
Speaker 1: But this is different than like driving across country to
Speaker 1: surprise somebody for their birthday, or you know, burning down
Speaker 1: the phones to like find the absolute best medical care
Speaker 1: for your grandparents. Who's hill, Like like that's some of
Speaker 1: that you know, ride or die stuff. Now, the truth
Speaker 1: be told in my younger years, like in high school
Speaker 1: in college when people will be like, yo, I cheated
Speaker 1: on my girl or whatever, you'll keep it down. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I got you, I got you, and then let this
Speaker 1: person make a fool of something body else. In retrospect,
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's fucking nonsense, because on some level you
Speaker 1: have to understand where the lines are between like how
Speaker 1: you would protect somebody, how you help somebody, and then
Speaker 1: when you're actively trying to do harm to another person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's hard to like, you have to understand where
Speaker 1: you're in a position of power that like or you
Speaker 1: you are a famous person and your brother is running
Speaker 1: new York that like, all right, Like this isn't like
Speaker 1: somebody teasing us on the schoolyard and me like standing
Speaker 1: up for him, which by the way, would never happen.
Speaker 1: It was always Chris getting teased. But like that's you know,
Speaker 1: it's just the patriarchy strade up. Like these are power
Speaker 1: structures that have like held other people down for fucking
Speaker 1: millennia now, and so it's like, yet you have to
Speaker 1: be able to you know, draw that line and recognize
Speaker 1: those boundaries. Toxic, toxic New Yorker or just toxic men
Speaker 1: will know that. As Bromerta, I mean, yeah, especially when
Speaker 1: you when you when you think about how many like
Speaker 1: sexual assaults, um, you know, like go unreported or or
Speaker 1: just go without any sort of justice, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. I think a lot of people are a
Speaker 1: bit ignorant to how many of these types of cases
Speaker 1: never see the light of day, especially when you're talking
Speaker 1: about men who have incredible amounts of power and money,
Speaker 1: you know, And uh, yeah, it's it's just you know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like I think you
Speaker 1: can still support your family and love your family and
Speaker 1: have that unconditional love, but also be you know, willing
Speaker 1: to say like he has to suffer the consequences, and
Speaker 1: he did some messed up ship, you know, like that's
Speaker 1: really being an actual man about this whole thing. And
Speaker 1: and you know, understanding the severity of the situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and n and you know the people who work at
Speaker 1: CNA and are saying like this was long overdue and
Speaker 1: like we were like what wondering when the fund this
Speaker 1: was going to happen. And they're still like why is
Speaker 1: an indefinite suspension and not a firing? Sure, presumably because
Speaker 1: Jeff Sucker is probably a friend of Chris Cuomo's, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: run and he can't even put him down. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: can't even put Fredo down when he's saying the Hail
Speaker 1: Mary as his brother watches from the lake house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: does he watch or does he just here? I know
Speaker 1: he's he's definitely around to experience it on some level,
Speaker 1: whether that's him watching from afar now I think he watches.
Speaker 1: He's just in his desk and like we're just like
Speaker 1: cutting back and forth. I think, but he knows, but
Speaker 1: Michael knows. Anyway, he's watching like a bird watching goggles
Speaker 1: like and then he gives gives a small fist bump.
Speaker 1: Yes for fist pump got him, got him. Yeah. But anyways,
Speaker 1: I you know, I think Chris Cuomos always felt like
Speaker 1: he wasn't taken seriously within his family for being a learnalist.
Speaker 1: This was his opportunity to like, you know, help the
Speaker 1: family business with his position as a journalist, and he
Speaker 1: just couldn't, you know, get over that opportunity. Which, yeah,
Speaker 1: get over yourself, bro, stop and stop sucking keeping fucking
Speaker 1: secrets in general society. That's like a huge thing that
Speaker 1: we all have to overcome, you know, like the Bromerta
Speaker 1: ship is real, Like you grow up keeping secrets, whether
Speaker 1: it's like your dad being like, hey, keep that from
Speaker 1: your mom. You know, this just be between us, and
Speaker 1: there's ship like that ship builds into literally stuff where
Speaker 1: you might be a witness or have information about something
Speaker 1: like a crime like this, and you're like, no, not Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's going against the code. But that's not We
Speaker 1: have to have a new code, which is basically being
Speaker 1: like being humane to all people. You're already selling all
Speaker 1: of your secrets and personal information to marketers, why why
Speaker 1: not just like be transparent with the rest of the
Speaker 1: society around maybe that's the one good thing about the
Speaker 1: social media area. It makes it really fucking hard to
Speaker 1: hide how big of a scumbag you actually are, you know,
Speaker 1: so the social media for that at least. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why Mark Mark Zuckerberg has always been my spiritual and
Speaker 1: philosophical leader. Leader. All right, let's talk about the Republicans
Speaker 1: real quick, because they are threatening to you know, hold
Speaker 1: the funding for the government hostage and shut the government
Speaker 1: down pretty soon. I think I'm Friday, And their main
Speaker 1: complaint is Biden's vaccine and testing man dates, and so
Speaker 1: that made me ask, like, do they think this is
Speaker 1: a winner? Like for them? I know it's popular with
Speaker 1: a small number, uh like a small portion of their base.
Speaker 1: But you know, as as we've seen just in overall
Speaker 1: numbers and pulling and also how people react with regards
Speaker 1: to like school board votes and stuff, being pro recklessness
Speaker 1: when it comes to the vaccine isn't very popular. All
Speaker 1: evidence that you that's like undeniable. Like there's just a
Speaker 1: televangelist leader of the Daystar television network, which I'm hoping
Speaker 1: they came up with after the first season of Succession
Speaker 1: because it rhymes with the Succession company. But he called
Speaker 1: the vaccina sin said, you know, pitched alternative methods of
Speaker 1: treating it. He just died of COVID, So it just
Speaker 1: seems like there's kind of the And then also Trump
Speaker 1: reportedly tested positive before his debate with Biden, before he
Speaker 1: went and met with a room full of gold Star families,
Speaker 1: before he like went to a bunch of different events
Speaker 1: and spoke. And you know, we we kind of suspected
Speaker 1: this at the time, but it also feels like a
Speaker 1: different lifetime, a lifetime ago. But yeah, September dial it
Speaker 1: back for once, that helicious time. But I mean, the
Speaker 1: whole thing with this too is in terms of like
Speaker 1: message ing the the anti mandate vax crew, they're just
Speaker 1: they just beat that. They just beat the administration to
Speaker 1: like the punch of being like now we're gonna get
Speaker 1: in everybody's head that this is ridiculous, this is too much,
Speaker 1: This is like this is the opposite of safe. This
Speaker 1: is actually like bad because the polling around it is
Speaker 1: like it's it's it's not even a majority. Like if
Speaker 1: you ask at this point, if in a pull of
Speaker 1: all adults scent, only forty seven percent favor like a
Speaker 1: max A vaccine, mandate and opposed. So I'm sure on
Speaker 1: some level conservatives look at that number go okay, that's
Speaker 1: something there, and then within their party seven when the
Speaker 1: Republicans seventy seven percent opposed, within Democrats opposed, So it's
Speaker 1: splitting down party race. All that lines pretty pretty predictably.
Speaker 1: But I think it's it's a it's a weird one
Speaker 1: to do because you know, we have a new variant
Speaker 1: that maybe something to be concerned about. Plus just whatever
Speaker 1: happens with an inevitable winter surge of infections, if people
Speaker 1: are still going to be like, yeah, yeah, it's fine,
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine, this is what I'm fighting. I
Speaker 1: just don't understand, like the hypocrisy, Like I can't wrap
Speaker 1: my brain around like, Okay, so Trump boasts that he's
Speaker 1: the reason we have this vaccine, but you guys are
Speaker 1: still like it doesn't under standing, Like does just not
Speaker 1: nothing makes sense, Like the Republicans are are vaccinated, but
Speaker 1: you're there's you're listening to them telling you not to,
Speaker 1: Like I I'm at this point where I just like
Speaker 1: I'm at a loss or how you can possibly communicate
Speaker 1: with with people at this point, right, Like it's almost
Speaker 1: just like there is no communicating with this crazy sector
Speaker 1: of the country who literally is just defying logic at
Speaker 1: every turn and like constantly has no problem with like
Speaker 1: contradicting themselves just to like be able to claim freedom
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: this weird mindset that there's no talking to. Well, it's
Speaker 1: because I think that's the part is, like it really
Speaker 1: isn't about logic. It's just about like rhetorically that I'm
Speaker 1: not doing what you say. So it doesn't matter if
Speaker 1: you understand why I'm saying that. The fact is I'm
Speaker 1: just you're just you're you're you're Joe Biden. I'm just
Speaker 1: philosophically opposed to everything. And then even then, but it's
Speaker 1: even funny because I know how people be like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: the vaccine is good, but not everybody needs to take it,
Speaker 1: and some people and they're getting sick and they're like,
Speaker 1: congress person, aren't you fully vaccinated? They're like this, this
Speaker 1: messaging works for this specific group of people. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get on the opposite end of the spectrum. So
Speaker 1: they opposed Joe Biden, and I will turn and say
Speaker 1: something different to maybe people who aren't as resistant to
Speaker 1: vaccines and don't pivot to something like think of the
Speaker 1: kids and like how they got to wear masks and
Speaker 1: they're so confused because this mask wearing, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just terrible. They I am seeing it start to break
Speaker 1: through with I think it's just people's general being exhausted
Speaker 1: by like warned down by the pandemic and they're like, well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do another lockdown that really worked last time.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, this is kind of a yeah, like
Speaker 1: you don't know, yeah, but I'm seeing that break more
Speaker 1: mainstream that the idea of like this is bullshit, Like
Speaker 1: we I'm not doing another lockdown because another vaccine. Nothing
Speaker 1: happened to me. It's also crazy to me that like
Speaker 1: people don't realize this is the same ship that's happening
Speaker 1: all around the world. Like so many of these people
Speaker 1: make it seem like watching the US government is trying
Speaker 1: to control you, and it's like, bro, every fucking country
Speaker 1: in the world is literally having the same exact conversations,
Speaker 1: and there are other countries that are far stricter than
Speaker 1: hours and they're not all comt communist countries. Like it
Speaker 1: doesn't make I don't understand how people can be this
Speaker 1: much in their own bubble to not realize those things.
Speaker 1: You know, that's America though right there, you know, no
Speaker 1: no understanding of the rest of the world, how that
Speaker 1: relates to what you have or where you are. You
Speaker 1: live quite literally in your bubble of what you can
Speaker 1: see directly in front of you. Because people who I
Speaker 1: know who are anti vacs, they say the same ship,
Speaker 1: which is always relying on anecdotal information. That's pretty much
Speaker 1: like even people who seem like more reasonable that our
Speaker 1: anti vacs are like, I mean to be real, like
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who's gotten and gotten really that sick.
Speaker 1: Like the people who I know, like they were sick
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but it wasn't that bad, so
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then they're like, oh, actually this
Speaker 1: person that like, who's butcher story? Go to the guy
Speaker 1: there died, right, So now you do know someone's like,
Speaker 1: but maybe that won't change your mind because maybe because
Speaker 1: you didn't know him personally enough. That's that that's just
Speaker 1: the weird thing where it's just you know, and I
Speaker 1: get it. It's fucking scary for people to think that
Speaker 1: they have no control over their safety, like whatsoever so
Speaker 1: for and I'm sure there's another group to whether they
Speaker 1: might you know, might not be straight up conservatives, just
Speaker 1: more of a mindset of like denial about their lack
Speaker 1: of control over something and the only way they can
Speaker 1: operate to just actively deny that they're in any kind
Speaker 1: of danger. Yeah, there's a new study making the rounds
Speaker 1: on social media as yesterday. That's about how like it's
Speaker 1: a new study and quotes, it's basically an abstract the
Speaker 1: people of copy and pasted saying that Mr n A
Speaker 1: vaccines have been linked to heart disease. And so now
Speaker 1: like Reuters and all the all the respectable journalistic institutions
Speaker 1: are have to jump on top of it and be
Speaker 1: like that's actually there's no evidence for that, Like that
Speaker 1: study doesn't have any evidence. But it's just it does
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like this is what America wants
Speaker 1: to believe so badly that you're you're just like, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to hand out speeding tickets at the type thing.
Speaker 1: It's just like this ship is you're gonna believe this
Speaker 1: because you want to believe this. But yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a really good point. I can't remember who it was,
Speaker 1: but I was listening to somebody interviewed talking about being
Speaker 1: in Paris for the uh the beginning of the pandemic
Speaker 1: and just you know, they were four weeks into lockdown
Speaker 1: and watching Americans be like, funk this this doesn't like
Speaker 1: this is this is made up? Like you guys made
Speaker 1: this ship up and him being like that doesn't huh,
Speaker 1: Like we're we've been in it too, and nobody over
Speaker 1: here thinks it's made up. But yeah, that's a not
Speaker 1: not the most not the best to kind of seeing
Speaker 1: the big picture. I guess no. And I think to
Speaker 1: the even like this idea of the messaging around mandates
Speaker 1: and clearly like the anti side got you know, they
Speaker 1: got in a frenzy over it. It's like I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the administration could have done,
Speaker 1: given the state of things in the United in the
Speaker 1: in the US, but like you're damn sure could have
Speaker 1: messaged harder to be like this is what happens. Here
Speaker 1: are some little graphics so you understand ship, here's what happened.
Speaker 1: This is why you have to actually, this is how
Speaker 1: you're going to get out of a pandemic or things
Speaker 1: like that. And I know there were you know, there
Speaker 1: were presentations here and there, but you know, I think
Speaker 1: their allies on places like CNN and MSNBC, we're just
Speaker 1: kind of spending more time being like, do you believe
Speaker 1: these assholes who are like want to lockdown? That's that's
Speaker 1: not going to compel somebody who's on the fence, Like
Speaker 1: rather than being like the coverage being around the safety
Speaker 1: of it, what will happen, like how you can how
Speaker 1: this is a way to ensure people's safety, and because
Speaker 1: it just became more like, oh, these these people don't
Speaker 1: get it or whatever, and yeah, we talked about that
Speaker 1: to an extent here, but it's it's interesting how when
Speaker 1: you have all those tools at your disposed as a
Speaker 1: as an administered, as a presidential administration, that you completely
Speaker 1: just you know, the best you can do is get
Speaker 1: Olivia Rodrigo to like say a couple of things like
Speaker 1: come on, yeah exactly, shout out to let go. But
Speaker 1: it's like it's just further proof of how terrible the
Speaker 1: Democrats really are a messaging all around. And also just
Speaker 1: like liberal media doubles down on that by turning the
Speaker 1: news into like gossip TV and just like half of
Speaker 1: their newscast is spent pulling up clips with Fox News
Speaker 1: and then commentating on it. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: It's like you're not actually giving people information. You're just
Speaker 1: sitting there like making a fucking reaction video that like
Speaker 1: a like a YouTuber would do essentially. You know. That's
Speaker 1: what's I think they're They're failing to actually give people
Speaker 1: real information and things like that. Yeah, it's based on
Speaker 1: the myth and like reinforcing the myth that people who
Speaker 1: believe liberal things are smarter than people who believe conservative things,
Speaker 1: and that being the end goal of their coverage is like,
Speaker 1: look at these idiots, right, but we're smart, And it's
Speaker 1: just like, actually, you guys here it is too First
Speaker 1: of all, we're all idiots. But that's that's definitely not
Speaker 1: the point. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I do just want
Speaker 1: to talk about like the Trump story. This is not
Speaker 1: that this will have any effect on his ability to
Speaker 1: just storm back to the White House in four but
Speaker 1: he did have COVID. He had tested positive for COVID
Speaker 1: days in advance of the Biden debate, which obviously him
Speaker 1: putting Joe Biden's old asset at in danger probably will
Speaker 1: just make people on the Republican inside like him more.
Speaker 1: But he also attended an indoor meeting with gold Star
Speaker 1: families literally the day after he tested positive. And that
Speaker 1: is that's the meeting that he claimed had given him COVID.
Speaker 1: So not only did he put them at risk, he
Speaker 1: claimed that they gave it to him even though he
Speaker 1: had already tested positive. And he said specifically that they
Speaker 1: were these people, they were within an inch of my face.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they want to hug me, they want to kiss me,
Speaker 1: and they do, and frankly, I'm not telling them to
Speaker 1: back up. So and that's not that's not you improvising
Speaker 1: right there. That's a quote, legit, that's a quote. That's
Speaker 1: a word for word. He said that, And he is
Speaker 1: again describing a meeting he had with the families of
Speaker 1: fallen soldiers the day after he tested positive for COVID.
Speaker 1: Uh that people were inches from his face and you know,
Speaker 1: he he was willing to kiss and hug them, but
Speaker 1: they gave it to him, right or right even though
Speaker 1: he had already tested positive. But anyways, and then just
Speaker 1: the other thing. We're going to get into doctors a
Speaker 1: little bit more in the coming days. But I think
Speaker 1: that's another example of like people reading the tea leaves
Speaker 1: and being like, damn, then Americans really want this COVID
Speaker 1: thing to be like a hoax, and they want to
Speaker 1: they like, I think he recognizes like he's the doctor
Speaker 1: who is willing to be anti vax and you know,
Speaker 1: entertain ANTIAX perspectives, and so it seems weird that he's
Speaker 1: like running for Senate at the same time. Something in
Speaker 1: the culture and in the like has made him be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's my time right now. He's Yeah, he's just a
Speaker 1: thirsty stunt queen who happens to be a doctor. That's
Speaker 1: really what it is, because it's not it's not he's
Speaker 1: never being guided by his education as a doctor. It's
Speaker 1: always like, how am I going to be famous? How
Speaker 1: am I going to make my profile? How am I
Speaker 1: getting increase that even further? And if I got yeah,
Speaker 1: if I gotta say, I love hydroxy Clark Quinn and
Speaker 1: let's gum. I mean, it's the same thing as Trump.
Speaker 1: He was just like a rich dude who wants to
Speaker 1: be a celebrity, you know, and like the ultimate celebrity
Speaker 1: in the world is going to be the president of
Speaker 1: the United States, you know. So I think doctor Oz
Speaker 1: is taking up, you know, a page out of his playbook.
Speaker 1: But I mean I remember when Doctor Oz on The
Speaker 1: Breakfast Cub and he was talking about quarantining from his family.
Speaker 1: So I mean, like, are you really you know, it's
Speaker 1: like I like, all this ship is available, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like it's all documented people's perspectives and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and you know, unfortunately people
Speaker 1: are too I don't want to say dumb, but man,
Speaker 1: dumb to not look up you know a lot of
Speaker 1: this stuff and improve him wrong. I think, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think there's just this weird duality that a lot of
Speaker 1: people have, especially in the West, as it relates to
Speaker 1: like the media, right, Like there's this weird thing that
Speaker 1: be as if being on TV legitimizes every single fucking
Speaker 1: thing you say, because it's like in the back of
Speaker 1: your mind it's like, well they can't be on TV
Speaker 1: just lyne about ship on TV. That's how you're on TV.
Speaker 1: Like it's like fucking grad school or some ship. Like
Speaker 1: there's no way you could just stumble upon TV. But
Speaker 1: that is the case. And at the same time, they're
Speaker 1: like people, a lot of people are grappling with some
Speaker 1: things being legitimized merely because they've been presented to them
Speaker 1: on TV and other things also being total bullshit because
Speaker 1: it's on TV. So there's like a lot of people
Speaker 1: holding to like reality is sort of in their minds
Speaker 1: at the same time, because I think that is a
Speaker 1: thing we see just even with Donald Trump, Like people
Speaker 1: are like, well, he's on TV, he's rich. Like I mean,
Speaker 1: this dude wouldn't have done ship if he wasn't on TV.
Speaker 1: So shout out to a shout out to the real
Speaker 1: Kingmaker TV because I mean, yeah, Kontahey would almost run,
Speaker 1: you know, like there's just so much. We just love it.
Speaker 1: We just love the TV. We thought we were getting television,
Speaker 1: but television got us. Let's from a quiz game. Quiz
Speaker 1: show was that Ray Fines and John Tata. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: ship is really good if people like kind. I missed
Speaker 1: it when it first came out. I thought it was
Speaker 1: like just like a lame kind of history movie. But
Speaker 1: that ship was really good. My mom took me to
Speaker 1: the theater to see that ship. Yeah, that's why I
Speaker 1: remember so vividly Jarital and I was like, what the
Speaker 1: fuck was this? This is real? Yeah, all right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break we'll be right back, And we're back.
Speaker 1: And if you've been paying attention to the news, you
Speaker 1: might have noticed that a killer asteroid is coming our
Speaker 1: way and NASA has sent a team of oil rig
Speaker 1: workers up to explode it with nuclear weapons. Because the headlines,
Speaker 1: let me just read a couple of headlines. The New
Speaker 1: York Post NASA plans Armageddon style mission to crash into
Speaker 1: asteroids Moon, CBS News NASA to launch Armageddon style mission
Speaker 1: to deliberately crash into an asteroids Moon and test planetary defense.
Speaker 1: So what doesn't want to miss a thing with the
Speaker 1: next attempt, It's like, oh my god. Yeah. So this
Speaker 1: is based on a spacecraft NASA just launched to test
Speaker 1: humanities ability to punch a potentially hazardous asteroid away from Earth,
Speaker 1: which is unusual for NASA since they're a civilian agency
Speaker 1: that doesn't usually deal with security threats with bang bangs usually.
Speaker 1: In two thousand five, Congress assigned NASA with monitoring asteroids
Speaker 1: and protecting the planet from dangerous space space objects. So
Speaker 1: that's where this comes from. Almost ten years later, in
Speaker 1: case you guys find yourself sleeping too well at night,
Speaker 1: So ten years after they were assigned to protect the
Speaker 1: planet by monitoring asteroids. You know, their goal had been
Speaker 1: within ten years to locate of all near Earth asteroids
Speaker 1: big enough to cause significant damage, and they were only
Speaker 1: able to spot about ten, So you know, one in ten.
Speaker 1: That's not great, not not not awesome, I would say.
Speaker 1: And yeah, other people are arguing that it should have
Speaker 1: been the Space Force, but who the fox arguing that
Speaker 1: other than Donald Trump? But so what do they? How
Speaker 1: are so? But they are gonna They're gonna shoot fucking
Speaker 1: handguns at the asteroids? Kind of sore. Yeah, they're just
Speaker 1: crashing into the asteroid and the goal is to change
Speaker 1: its orbital speed by less than one percent, but that
Speaker 1: would be enough to alter its orbital period by several minutes.
Speaker 1: So it's basically you slowed down for like a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes, and that would be enough to you know,
Speaker 1: make an asteroid miss Earth where it coming through like that.
Speaker 1: I think this is long overdue because I have to say,
Speaker 1: as a kid, this is one of my greatest fears
Speaker 1: in life, was an asteroid coming to Earth and just
Speaker 1: absolutely destroying it. So the inner anxious kid who was
Speaker 1: developing very early anxiety about meteors would have really appreciated
Speaker 1: knowing that this was actually a thing and people were
Speaker 1: making an effort towards, you know, us not dying from meteor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the same thing all those movies. Like I
Speaker 1: thought water World was gonna be real. I was sweat.
Speaker 1: I was sweating over water World for a while about
Speaker 1: fortunately global warming is a myth, right, well luckily, I
Speaker 1: was like, but it was funny because all I read
Speaker 1: was this one thing. It's like it was like I
Speaker 1: remember it like Wired magazine at the time. It's like,
Speaker 1: even if all the polar I smelted, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: cause water World. And I was like, okay, it was
Speaker 1: just funk up the everything around seasons and all this
Speaker 1: other ship. And I'm like, I'm too young to get that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, also this ship is also freaky as fuck
Speaker 1: to like all those movies. When whenever, like Deep Impact,
Speaker 1: Armageddon all that stuff, I would always be like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, please tell me somebody's working on this ship Armageddon. Though.
Speaker 1: I have to say I love the movie arm again.
Speaker 1: I saw that in the theaters. I remember being a kid.
Speaker 1: It was like packing when you have to sit right
Speaker 1: in the front row with your breaking It just a
Speaker 1: classic fucking with the Arrowsmith song, just a great soundtrack. Yeah,
Speaker 1: talk about the wrong stuff one of the great lines
Speaker 1: in the history of movies when the oil rig workers
Speaker 1: are walking down too NASA and I think Bush, emire Lly,
Speaker 1: Bob Thornton has like talk about the wrong stuff? Am
Speaker 1: I right? But so Michael Bay saw this and was like, hey,
Speaker 1: our plan was not that far off. So just to revisit,
Speaker 1: the movie's plan was to train oil drillers to become
Speaker 1: astronauts so they could land on an asteroid, drill into it,
Speaker 1: and detonate a nuclear weapon, which couldn't be that couldn't
Speaker 1: be much further off. So what One of the basic
Speaker 1: problems of that plot is that it makes way more
Speaker 1: sense to teach astronauts how to use it drill than
Speaker 1: to train oil drillers to become astronauts in a week,
Speaker 1: which was actually a point that was made by Ben
Speaker 1: Affleck on set. So Affleck recalls he asked, why is
Speaker 1: it easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than
Speaker 1: to trans astrohoutse to become oil drillers? And uh, He
Speaker 1: then recalls, they told told me to shut the funk
Speaker 1: up so that was He was like, you know, Ben,
Speaker 1: just shut up. Okay, this is the real NASA plan,
Speaker 1: all right. And I was like, you mean it's a
Speaker 1: real plan at NASA to train oil drillers. And he
Speaker 1: was like, just at your health. Wow. Was Ben Affleck
Speaker 1: at the time, you know, come on, he was? He
Speaker 1: wasn't in the peak of Ben Affleck. I mean at
Speaker 1: that point he would have had an Academy award. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: where's Michael Bay's Academy award? Excuse you? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Go on, so tell me about writing real quick,
Speaker 1: Michael Bay, do you have a fucking oscar? Meanwhile, I
Speaker 1: asked one question and you almost had a panic attack.
Speaker 1: My guy. He does have two Criterion Collection movies, though,
Speaker 1: Armageddon and The Rock are on Criterion Collection because his
Speaker 1: college film professor taught or was on the board at Criterion.
Speaker 1: Oh that's the reason why there's Yeah. Yeah, but those
Speaker 1: were like the first Criterion movies I bought. I can't. Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: we're all guilty. The classic You tell me you can't
Speaker 1: turn those movies off if they like come up on
Speaker 1: like a lazy Sunday, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you find yourself sucked into all those movies. By the way,
Speaker 1: it should be noted that when Drama said, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but his oscars for writing, he was making the jerkoff
Speaker 1: hand motion when he said writing. So just so no
Speaker 1: respect for writers for writing or whatever. Cool cool man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you go right, me up a fucking diet coke Ben. So,
Speaker 1: just to kind of in case anybody's interested on like
Speaker 1: why NASA is spending millions and millions of dollars on this. Uh,
Speaker 1: this wouldn't necessarily be the plan for all threatening asteroids.
Speaker 1: Larger ones like an armageddon might require a fleet of
Speaker 1: spacecrafts or even hovering a craft near an asteroid for
Speaker 1: years in order to impart a small gravitational influence to
Speaker 1: nudge it away from Earth. But no one wants to
Speaker 1: watch a movie where Bruce Willis remotely pilots ship for
Speaker 1: several years. So if we got armageddon, and because our
Speaker 1: news complex, because our media industrial complex, you know, is
Speaker 1: based on prof the profit motive, our headlines are like,
Speaker 1: it's armageddon, y'all, So yeah, that's where we're at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's disappointing to to hear that
Speaker 1: NASA's actual plan involved ship, Like, yeah, we could just
Speaker 1: be really efficient. We have to detonate a nuclear bomb
Speaker 1: in the fucking space and we can just use the
Speaker 1: forces of gravity to just alter its course. But meanwhile,
Speaker 1: this is the planet NASA band, you fucking joke. This
Speaker 1: is this is one of those times I'd love for
Speaker 1: Trump to be in office just to hear his commentary
Speaker 1: on like his idea, Like he has a better idea
Speaker 1: for how to get rid of the asteroid. You know,
Speaker 1: that is something that we should keep in mind though
Speaker 1: we only know about ten percent of the asteroids that
Speaker 1: might be a danger to Earth. So anyone who's thinking
Speaker 1: it might be a good bit to elect Trump again,
Speaker 1: just keep in mind that he might be the president
Speaker 1: when an actually you know, globe threatening crisis is is
Speaker 1: hurtling towards us. So Jesus God, can you imagine, like
Speaker 1: I mean, grant of granted, we have enough like observational
Speaker 1: points to see something just coming so fast, but if
Speaker 1: like it was just like yo ship, y'all got ten
Speaker 1: minutes right, like we fucked up. We didn't us Okay,
Speaker 1: I should have checked the mirror and I did a
Speaker 1: lane change so to speak. That was snuck up on
Speaker 1: us folks, So sorry about that. It's been, it's been,
Speaker 1: It's been fun. Yeah, I think that's what Adam McKay's
Speaker 1: new movies about. It is bringing back by my childhood anxiety.
Speaker 1: They are and it's like a satire of like because
Speaker 1: the media just turns it into like a media spectrum.
Speaker 1: They're just like it becomes like a hotly debated thing
Speaker 1: about whether there is actually an asteroid hurtling towards Earth?
Speaker 1: How should you do you think it is to be
Speaker 1: a scientist like working on this project like day night,
Speaker 1: and like the media is just making a fucking mockery
Speaker 1: of this, like just like you're you're saying it, like
Speaker 1: spilling all your free time working on this whole thing
Speaker 1: to save the world potentially, and they're just talking about
Speaker 1: Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. It turns out we weren't
Speaker 1: that far off alright. Well, Dramas as always, man, such
Speaker 1: a pleasure to have you on. Where can people find
Speaker 1: you and follow you at DJ Dramas, d R a
Speaker 1: m o s on all social media and uh podcast
Speaker 1: life as a gringo. You can search for that wherever
Speaker 1: you find podcasts as well as any music you want
Speaker 1: to hear from me dramas on streaming platforms, and uh,
Speaker 1: is there a tweet or some of the work of
Speaker 1: social media you've been enjoying. Yeah, alright, so this is
Speaker 1: a super New York thing and probably most people aren't
Speaker 1: gonna get it if you're not following like this street
Speaker 1: interviewer in New York. But it's just a thought says yes, okay.
Speaker 1: So it's literally my obsession that I have with my girlfriend.
Speaker 1: It's my answer to everything when she oppresses me about something.
Speaker 1: But the meme is just nobody me bing bang. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my bing bong, your life bing bang. It makes
Speaker 1: no sense at all. And it's just like the Internet
Speaker 1: in all its glory, that these things are just reaching
Speaker 1: the masses and make absolutely no sense. And I love
Speaker 1: this the amount of my friend who my friend who
Speaker 1: teaches at an elementary school is a music teacher in
Speaker 1: the valley and he's like, you know, my fourth graders
Speaker 1: all they talk about are glizzies, right, He's like, all
Speaker 1: they do is watch side talk and they're like, your
Speaker 1: life bing bog. But it's a weird fucking world that
Speaker 1: we live in, man, that like, this is the stuff
Speaker 1: that is cutting through you know what I mean, They're
Speaker 1: going to think that like DJ Drama is fucking like
Speaker 1: Walter Cronkite or something they're like and and Coney Island
Speaker 1: is the is the birthplace of all culture. The salute
Speaker 1: President Joe Byron. Oh God, bless the Internet. Miles Where
