Speaker 1: slamming my lord on the stage in your hometown. You
Speaker 1: know that's Rochelle, Illinois. But I did, I did become
Speaker 1: a whatever version of a man I am in Chicago. Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't mean to exactly. I don't mean to catch
Speaker 1: this person's on your Joan Allen, Joan Allen, Rochelle, Illinois.
Speaker 1: She went on David Letterman. He said, where are you from?
Speaker 1: She said, Chicago, and people in Rochelle have never let
Speaker 1: it go. Oh she got like, just torched by the town.
Speaker 1: Be like, oh, Dad, well it's more passive because it's
Speaker 1: true Midwest style. But from Chicago. Yes, I guess she's
Speaker 1: not from here anymore. That's weird, I guess. So I
Speaker 1: guess I'll move her mail. Then she is. She is
Speaker 1: a goddamn st too. She's amazing. So I have no
Speaker 1: hate for it. But I always want to reprochel whenever
Speaker 1: I can. But yes, Chicago is also my city. God,
Speaker 1: that was. That was a beautiful time. I can't thank
Speaker 1: you guys enough for giving me like I felt very lucky.
Speaker 1: It was like you guys and shows in Austin right
Speaker 1: before everything went away. So I had a good run
Speaker 1: of great memories right there. I was. I felt like
Speaker 1: Jack and You're like, man, maybe we can't stop if
Speaker 1: we can't be stopped. We did say that at the
Speaker 1: live show unreleased, but we said nothing can stop us.
Speaker 1: We are God's God's got nothing on us. We're gonna
Speaker 1: we are unstoppable. No act of God. I think, Miles
Speaker 1: you specifically said, yeah, I struck it from like all
Speaker 1: these contracts. I was about to sign them, like active
Speaker 1: God to get it out of here. I'm blessed. I
Speaker 1: don't need that, and they're like that would signing an
Speaker 1: act of God. I'm like, well, I am upside down
Speaker 1: on this tractor trailer I bought. I got your force.
Speaker 1: May you are right here, bro, good Paul. What you've
Speaker 1: been up to us? I was, I've kept as busy
Speaker 1: as I can, working on a show I'll be able
Speaker 1: to talk about soon. And then it's not a great thing.
Speaker 1: You can always look up inside feel relevant and this
Speaker 1: feature film trilogy actually that driving pretty can't real. And
Speaker 1: then when somebody ever says to you, what was that thing,
Speaker 1: be like, oh I went away? Yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that just went away. When somebody says to you that,
Speaker 1: what was I think like, I still can't talk about it,
Speaker 1: but it went away. We just think did Jim Did
Speaker 1: Jim Cameron say I could mention? No, No, I can't. Jim.
Speaker 1: Actually Jim was saying that I shouldn't say anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: neither him or Steven spiel Stevie. So working on that
Speaker 1: a lot, but we're about to wrap up work on that,
Speaker 1: and then, um, you know, the Squaw Brothers and I
Speaker 1: just kept trugging along with dumb people talented a lot
Speaker 1: of shows. And then Rory Scovel and I with our
Speaker 1: pen Pals podcast doing the same and I created shows
Speaker 1: and I haven't done stand up since July. But that's
Speaker 1: about to change because I've been working really hard on
Speaker 1: a tour and this Wednesday, that June nine, I will
Speaker 1: be announcing the tour live on Instagram. Nice. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it like four pm our time. That'd be six
Speaker 1: pm Rochelle Illinois time. How do you, like, how do
Speaker 1: you get your reps in as a stand up when
Speaker 1: you're not you know, hitting the stage and like you're
Speaker 1: about to do with this, Like do you just feel
Speaker 1: like naturally you're you're always sharp because you're hosting and
Speaker 1: talking all the time or what how do you you
Speaker 1: know as an athlete as a performance feel like that helps? Right?
Speaker 1: Like you guys have to know, like just like how
Speaker 1: you guys are always informed and you can rattle off
Speaker 1: the names and the facts and you're probably two of
Speaker 1: the best. Without this show, you still would be, but
Speaker 1: two of the best cocktail party guests ever because you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: i know I've heard about that, I know about that,
Speaker 1: I know about that, and then like lying, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a malignant narcissist. So yeah, Well the thing was is,
Speaker 1: so I had a whole new hour ready to go.
Speaker 1: I ran it in July at a digital show and
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I got it down, I'll
Speaker 1: save that. I recorded it, and then doing stand up
Speaker 1: kind of felt like sugar for your ice cream, like
Speaker 1: you're eating dessert, but stand up digitally just didn't. It
Speaker 1: was just kind of like missing something. So I created
Speaker 1: these zoom shows that were smaller in nature purposely to
Speaker 1: kind of make it more of a hang. And I
Speaker 1: still do them, and we'll continue to do them and
Speaker 1: do a monthly Bingo night where it's just we give
Speaker 1: away prizes and people can money. We also and we
Speaker 1: raise money for no Kill animal Shelters, Big Brothers, Big
Speaker 1: Sisters in food banks. So if you win a bingo
Speaker 1: one of those organizations in your area, you choose which
Speaker 1: one also gets a donation. Yeah, so we do that
Speaker 1: and it's a great You know, you can call bingo anywhere,
Speaker 1: like obviously I'd love to do it in a hall
Speaker 1: in Texas, but like you do it here, you can
Speaker 1: do it on this like we're doing this digitally and
Speaker 1: it still works and it's a lot of fun. And
Speaker 1: then I started like a pub trivia like league trivia
Speaker 1: night that I do every month as well, and then
Speaker 1: to bring it back. The reasoning for this to go
Speaker 1: back to what us Jack is. I thought, well, stand
Speaker 1: up is never gonna feel like I'm really doing stand up,
Speaker 1: But if I can create an environment where I'm sort
Speaker 1: of hosting it, but it's got so much room to
Speaker 1: kick around and breathe, like in bingo and all this
Speaker 1: other stuff, inherently, hopefully I'll still be funny and find
Speaker 1: bits and like interact with people and joke around. So
Speaker 1: I'll keep keep those tools moving, but it won't be
Speaker 1: writing now material and then testing it out, because there
Speaker 1: really would be no at least for the way I like.
Speaker 1: I'm a real in the room kind of guy, kind
Speaker 1: of comic, and so I just was like, oh, how
Speaker 1: can I create stuff that will still allow me to
Speaker 1: joke around and have that interaction and be funny and
Speaker 1: have a good time, but not try to make it
Speaker 1: something it can't be. So I did this, and uh,
Speaker 1: I'll continue doing both of those shows at least through
Speaker 1: the end of the year, but I can't wait on
Speaker 1: August eleven to start. I'm not worried about you. You're
Speaker 1: a pro and the fact that you're even mindful of that,
Speaker 1: I think you know that's that already shows your It's
Speaker 1: it's taking up space within your mind on how to,
Speaker 1: you know, give yourself the best possible outcome. So thanks,
Speaker 1: I learned it from your dad. I learnt, I said,
Speaker 1: for legal reasons, don't say that shi about me. Start
Speaker 1: paying all right, Then we're gonna get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that Trump speech where nobody really
Speaker 1: seemed to listen. Even Fox News wasn't listening. The big
Speaker 1: kind of outcomes seems to be the people. I think
Speaker 1: he might have been wearing his pants backwards. I like that.
Speaker 1: That's what we're right now. It's like he gave his
Speaker 1: speech and the thing was like, yo, where his pants
Speaker 1: on backwards? Not like, oh my god, he's continuing with
Speaker 1: like he's doubling down on the election fraud. But we'll see,
Speaker 1: I mean, snokes came through with their chest out. I know, No,
Speaker 1: he didn't have his pants on backwards, which I just
Speaker 1: don't know how you how you know that for sure
Speaker 1: was visible? The zipper was visible. Okay, yeah, it just
Speaker 1: was like a few images, like you know how the
Speaker 1: internet does gets fixated and because no one wants to
Speaker 1: talk about how horrific it is that he's speaking out
Speaker 1: loud again. It's like, I mean, we could probably go
Speaker 1: to parlor right now if that still exists, and see
Speaker 1: a lot of people being like, no, do you complain
Speaker 1: when criss Cross did it? Color? It's okay, it's standard.
Speaker 1: You know, that's how these lips feel all the time. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that was wild. Can we just admit though,
Speaker 1: that if people can't tell if they're on front, was
Speaker 1: or backwards, it probably is uncomfortable regardless. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it was a diaper situation. Is my guess is that
Speaker 1: his pants looked strange because he had a Maybe he
Speaker 1: was may or maybe he's stuffing you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: to try and act like he's you know, he's big
Speaker 1: man or something with like a book down the front
Speaker 1: of his pants. It's like, yeah, that's not even how
Speaker 1: that's supposed to look. Man, that's a throw pillow blow fashion.
Speaker 1: You guys aren't bloat fashion. That's one of those old
Speaker 1: cowboy callers from the eighties. Football. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: Joe Manchin, maybe we'll talk about bb NET and yeah
Speaker 1: who uh and how how he's just pulling from the
Speaker 1: old right wing playbook after you lose an election. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about Jeff Bozos and how he's going to risk
Speaker 1: his life to go into space and Miles, you gave
Speaker 1: me an idea. I think I think we need to
Speaker 1: conduct a poll to let this man know how despised
Speaker 1: he is. I think that would really hurt his feelings.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Conjuring franchise, which is just continues
Speaker 1: to be a force at the box office and why
Speaker 1: that might be problematic. All that plenty more. But first day,
Speaker 1: and we like to ask our guests, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: it's what's it's it's my current state in life as
Speaker 1: well a little bit of like what I'm going through.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are hip to this
Speaker 1: or not, but recently, as of like two days ago,
Speaker 1: but it's been ongoing before and since then, I searched
Speaker 1: tips for renting a car in kauaiih Are you guys
Speaker 1: familiar with what's happening in country and specifically Hawaii's just
Speaker 1: there's no cars. There's no cars all right? For example,
Speaker 1: I during a year ago, almost almost I think exactly
Speaker 1: a year ago pretty much. I rented a truck, drove
Speaker 1: to Roche, Illinois, picked up my pinball machine that I
Speaker 1: had sold to have money to move to l A,
Speaker 1: was able to buy back from the person I sold
Speaker 1: it to, and I drove it back out here, and
Speaker 1: I rented uh F one fifty you know, unlimited miles
Speaker 1: for like I think twelve days. I think it cost
Speaker 1: me a hundred and sixty dollars, right, That gives you
Speaker 1: that's where we were at. Obviously that was pandemic pricing.
Speaker 1: But in a normal year, I bet that would have
Speaker 1: cost me, like maybe so. And I rent cars a
Speaker 1: lot for being on the road and stuff, so I'm
Speaker 1: verst Yes, car rentals, if you can find one in
Speaker 1: Kauaii are going for about seven hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 1: a day, a day, a day. So guys, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: They don't have cars anymore. There's no cars. Every single
Speaker 1: car rental place of every size and make of car
Speaker 1: is gone. So now everything's gone to Turo. But there
Speaker 1: is nothing on Turo. You can find cars for like
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty two hundred dollars a day, which
Speaker 1: is a good deal. And it's like a two thousand
Speaker 1: and twelve Scion XB. It's like a it's like a
Speaker 1: two thousand eight Saturn. And I'm not joking. And you're
Speaker 1: gonna spend if you're going to you know, usually go
Speaker 1: to wife for at least five days, you're gonna spend
Speaker 1: close to like a grand Now there are almost no
Speaker 1: cars left on Turo, So the next place you have
Speaker 1: to go if you haven't gone the U haul route,
Speaker 1: which some people have gone, is Craigslist. And this cottage
Speaker 1: industry has been created with people just renting their cars.
Speaker 1: And you see everybody from being like, hey, here's my car,
Speaker 1: my O eight Corolla. If you want to rent a
Speaker 1: call me to other people who have said here's the
Speaker 1: in the ad Craigslist had, It'll be like, here's a
Speaker 1: link to our Google doc. You fill out the reservation form.
Speaker 1: These are just people like like, because you know, so
Speaker 1: much of that economy relies on tourism. A lot of
Speaker 1: just people who worked in the restaurant just like took
Speaker 1: a big hit. So this has kind of become in
Speaker 1: a good way. I actually feel like like a windfall
Speaker 1: for them to be able to make some money back
Speaker 1: just on their own cars that they have. But I've
Speaker 1: gone so far. I am not a wealthy man. But
Speaker 1: when you look at renting, like for seven days in Kawaii,
Speaker 1: I looked on Craigslist guys, and I was like, do
Speaker 1: I just buy a car and then I sell it
Speaker 1: to somebody else coming to Quaiet or I give it
Speaker 1: to I like, work out a deal with somebody who's
Speaker 1: running one of these things and say like, hey, I'll
Speaker 1: just trust you you. I'll leave the car here you
Speaker 1: rented out, and then give me some sort of money
Speaker 1: off or or whatever. At this point, you can be like, yo, dude,
Speaker 1: I'll pay your car payment for a month. Yes, you
Speaker 1: just give it to me for like two weeks because
Speaker 1: that's not even gonna match what the rental rate is.
Speaker 1: And I know for you, your calculus is that car payment.
Speaker 1: Why don't I take care of that and you can
Speaker 1: get it most of the month. Actually, dude, so quick,
Speaker 1: quill cook story. I know we got a time to
Speaker 1: get to today. So I go out to lunch with
Speaker 1: a friend of mine and we're hanging out. I didn't
Speaker 1: even dawn, I mean towards Senego. Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: have family in Kauaii, and he goes, yeah, I'm from there.
Speaker 1: I was like, I totally forgot. I go, what I'm
Speaker 1: about to tell you? If it sounds crazy? And he
Speaker 1: had not heard any of anything. I just told you guys.
Speaker 1: He goes, let me call my family. I go, if
Speaker 1: they'd let me rent one of their cars, if they
Speaker 1: even have one. But I guarantee you they already know
Speaker 1: about this. The island so small, and it's all over
Speaker 1: every island in Hawaii. Go, they already know about this.
Speaker 1: They might already be doing it, or if they have
Speaker 1: an extra car, I would rather pay them. He goes,
Speaker 1: let me call my uncle. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's not too like tech savvy. I but he doesn't
Speaker 1: really we'll see, right. We leave lunch. Ten minutes later,
Speaker 1: he calls up and he goes, so, I just talked
Speaker 1: to my uncle. His cars rented the first three days
Speaker 1: you're gonna be there. He already was on this. He goes,
Speaker 1: he said, uh, he said his uncle told him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he didn't know anything about it, but his neighbor approached him,
Speaker 1: told him about it, and his neighbor's running everything, and
Speaker 1: then they just split some of the money. But everyone
Speaker 1: on the islands is doing this. So my current search
Speaker 1: history is renting a car. You know there's zeke gang
Speaker 1: in Hawaii because y'all came through for me when I
Speaker 1: was out there like a year ago. Look if you
Speaker 1: got the you know you got the lifted Yoda bro
Speaker 1: on the low from my man DVK hit us up
Speaker 1: day dude, I'm I am desperate. Hey, you're under right
Speaker 1: in the Yoda bro? Yeah, for sure, Man, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be who's that holday in the Yoda? Wait? What's the yoda?
Speaker 1: Yota toyota? Because I'll be on I'd be on Hawaii
Speaker 1: TikTok to. You know what. I've been on it too.
Speaker 1: I love that when they start talk about their Yoda's,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I love I love the vernacular this and
Speaker 1: you get from Regali. Somebody out there is a good person,
Speaker 1: be nice to me and wants to throw me some tips.
Speaker 1: I am open to end in all possibilities. It's a
Speaker 1: free for all. But also I want you know, I'm
Speaker 1: happy to take care of somebody. Otherwise you just use Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's a whole on Kauai. It's so remotely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I looked I was like, what if I went from
Speaker 1: this place to this place? Because I'm obviously bury the lead.
Speaker 1: I'm planning on going to Kawaii later this summer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so um, I was like, what if I went
Speaker 1: from there and it was like sixty dollars? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, at that point, if I go around trip
Speaker 1: that's one twenty, I can only go to those two spots.
Speaker 1: Maybe I do run a car for hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: dollars a day. That's like an old I don't know,
Speaker 1: you go, So I love a good cottage industry man.
Speaker 1: That that's the best, the best that capitalism has to
Speaker 1: offer is just like spontaneity hustling. Yeah yeah, And I'm
Speaker 1: all I'm saying with you, Jack, I'm all for it.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, yeah, I gotta assume I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do right by people. So there's got to be people
Speaker 1: out there that would try to do right by me.
Speaker 1: Let's all help each other and everybody as come on now.
Speaker 1: Back in the day though, that's like the way that
Speaker 1: people got rich in California. Like the reason Stanford University
Speaker 1: exists is because somebody came out here and just started
Speaker 1: selling people like shovels and ship Yeah. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: like that's you made the most money. Yeah, and now
Speaker 1: I mean that you would be like stumped by some
Speaker 1: big capitalist force, like big hurts would just like destroy you.
Speaker 1: But back in the day, that's how capitalism worked and
Speaker 1: why it worked. Yeah, yeah, that's dope. What is something
Speaker 1: that you think is overrated? I'm probably late on this,
Speaker 1: especially with you guys, because you're hitting everything every day.
Speaker 1: But and I'm gonna say it full disclosure, without even
Speaker 1: seeing it, I think the Friends reunion's overrated even seeing
Speaker 1: it doesn't. But here's why I read. I assume our
Speaker 1: friend and yours Dave Holmes's article and esquire about the Friends,
Speaker 1: and it kind of gave me everything I needed to
Speaker 1: know that it, like Matthew Perry seems to be going
Speaker 1: through some stuff. I saw a TikTok where they there's
Speaker 1: a part where Lisa Coudro is like, well, we talked
Speaker 1: to each other, like every day. There's not a day
Speaker 1: that goes by that one of us doesn't talk to
Speaker 1: the other one, and then Matthew Perry says, I don't
Speaker 1: hear from anybody, And I guess there's a ton of
Speaker 1: laugh but somebody did a TikTok I could send it
Speaker 1: to you guys where they take out the laugh and
Speaker 1: it's not edited. There's just no laughter from the audience,
Speaker 1: and then you can kind of see the interest the
Speaker 1: interactions of just them, and it feels sad and I
Speaker 1: don't look at it as I like. So to me,
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, if that, if that brings you joy,
Speaker 1: I'm not here to take away anybody's joy. If Friends
Speaker 1: brings you joy and you want to and you want
Speaker 1: to live in Central Perk, I don't go for it.
Speaker 1: But I think for me and I love Friends, I
Speaker 1: still love Friends the show, but I think I was
Speaker 1: just like, I think it's a little maybe not what
Speaker 1: I would have wanted on of it, or maybe not
Speaker 1: hitting some of the notes that it's trying to ignore.
Speaker 1: So I saw like the tail end of the Friends one,
Speaker 1: and then I watched the Fresh Prince one immediately after it,
Speaker 1: and then you know, my partner her matter, she was like,
Speaker 1: I didn't see the opening of the Friends one. She's like,
Speaker 1: this is the exact same opening of the Friends one.
Speaker 1: They did the same thing they're doing because the Fresh
Speaker 1: Prince one starts off with like will coming back to
Speaker 1: the set, you know, because he flits the light, you know,
Speaker 1: moment it leaves the empty set, it's Will wandering back
Speaker 1: onto the set and it's dark and he's about to
Speaker 1: flick the light and then like all these like memories
Speaker 1: flash and it's like really well cut, especially you're a
Speaker 1: fan of the shot. I'm I got ready for this,
Speaker 1: and they do it and it's like wonderful and she's
Speaker 1: like that was the Friends one. It's like, godd okay,
Speaker 1: so it's even derivative of this one. And we talked
Speaker 1: about it came out, it didn't get There wasn't much
Speaker 1: fanfare around the Fresh Prince one, not this much, I
Speaker 1: think an appropriate amount of fanfare for a what is
Speaker 1: when we talked about a lot sweet, we were saying,
Speaker 1: it's just like a a TV It would be like
Speaker 1: a one night TV special that would have like kind
Speaker 1: of come and gone back in the day, right, But
Speaker 1: now I don't know. Because Friends has this like second
Speaker 1: life on streaming, people were treating it like an iconic moment,
Speaker 1: a big event. But yeah, I mean, like the Fresh
Speaker 1: Prince thing is like I am like vaguely intrigued, but
Speaker 1: having made the time to watch it yet, but if
Speaker 1: you're a fan of the show, it definitely like will
Speaker 1: make you will feel And then they even have its
Speaker 1: original aunt live on VIV come back and they will
Speaker 1: kind of have a bit of a reckoning, although he
Speaker 1: doesn't really apologize apologize, like there is an honest conversation
Speaker 1: around us. There's that, Yeah, do they play the uncle
Speaker 1: Phil seen the greatest one when when they got arrested
Speaker 1: for like driving his car. I can't remember what it was. Remember, Oh,
Speaker 1: when Carlton's like yes, officer and he thinks like the cops. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they touch on that, and they also talk about like
Speaker 1: the woman's like why doesn't you know that? There's a
Speaker 1: lot and like they have a real They give a
Speaker 1: lot of time to James Avery and like everyone really
Speaker 1: talking about how influential he was to every single person
Speaker 1: and just how much of a thespian he was and
Speaker 1: like how everyone like wanted to be on their ship
Speaker 1: because of him. Anyway, if you like the show, I
Speaker 1: would definitely it's worth checking out. It's properly rated. I'll
Speaker 1: say that exactly as super produced Anajosie is saying, Now
Speaker 1: that's acting. There's like this moment where Will Smith is
Speaker 1: talking about that moment with his dad abandonment monologue things,
Speaker 1: and he's like, I'm right here, will you give it?
Speaker 1: Like Will's describing this like interaction, and it's like you realize,
Speaker 1: like damn that, like you really felt it. But on
Speaker 1: the other side of that was an actor who was
Speaker 1: really trying to get Will Smith to like break through
Speaker 1: emotionally as a performer and as you know, semi goofy
Speaker 1: as it was, but the heart that was in it,
Speaker 1: You're like, damn, this is this is kind of why
Speaker 1: you watched these specials because you can see like the
Speaker 1: gravity on everyone's face, like realising how important he was.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's awesome. Now I want to watch both specials.
Speaker 1: So if that's you're overrated, I can't wait to see
Speaker 1: what you're underrated? Is my underrated? And I might be
Speaker 1: so late to this that I think I've found it.
Speaker 1: I call it the Christopher Columbus rule. But like, but
Speaker 1: like I feel like a major thing that's underrated. Like
Speaker 1: I've told so many people about it, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: come on, is Invincible? Have you guys watched it? Invincible?
Speaker 1: Was that It's the animated show from Robert Kirkman on
Speaker 1: Amazon about superheroes, and trust me, the feeling is, do
Speaker 1: I really need another superhero show? And and do I
Speaker 1: need one that maybe kind of looks like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be like The Boys, which is a live action show
Speaker 1: already on Amazon about superheroes. It's uh, handily one of
Speaker 1: the best things I've seen this year. It is it
Speaker 1: is so far beyond a superhero show. And I'm talking
Speaker 1: about performance and cast I guess I said performance, but
Speaker 1: the acting and the storylines, the turns there were really
Speaker 1: the relationships between the characters. It's unreal. And and throw
Speaker 1: a dart like you'll hit an actor that you love
Speaker 1: that's in this show. It's so so good. If I
Speaker 1: can implore you to not know anything more about it
Speaker 1: than what I've just said and just watch the first episode,
Speaker 1: I'm yeah. Just reading this cast list, I'm yeah, I
Speaker 1: like it. I will say this just because I want
Speaker 1: to give this disclaimer, but I don't want to say
Speaker 1: too much. Just to understand, I did give a little
Speaker 1: bit to our our our faithful listeners. It is superhero
Speaker 1: so there is violence, and there might be more than
Speaker 1: you would think you're gonna get, But maybe that dozen
Speaker 1: people that doesn't register for some people. But I just
Speaker 1: want to said that. So cartoon violence seems to be
Speaker 1: like there's just different rules for it, Like Richard Morty
Speaker 1: is so fucking violent, like people just like so. But
Speaker 1: if if, if you can, and you want, and you
Speaker 1: got forty two minutes to kill. That's the other thing too.
Speaker 1: I will say that it's not a half hour animated show.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a full hour animated show. Yeah. These
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just Steven Young, J K. Simmons, Sandra Oh,
Speaker 1: Mark hamill Man, Zukis Brogan, Walton Goggins, Michael Dorne, Fucking
Speaker 1: Wharf from Star Trek, Reginald val Johnson. Okay, we're going
Speaker 1: to Family Matters Town, Jimen Hansu. You got May Whitman
Speaker 1: if you remember her as May and Egg from the
Speaker 1: rest of Development. Wow, Okay, you're still with her. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime is the University of Kentucky basketball of streaming content,
Speaker 1: and that have so much great content that you just
Speaker 1: like never find out about it until like after, like
Speaker 1: years after it's been after it's no longer new, Like
Speaker 1: the way that the University of Kentucky is the only
Speaker 1: place that was able to hold Devin Booker to under
Speaker 1: twenty points a game. Uh yeah, Amazon Prime has so
Speaker 1: much good ship man, if you trust me enough, just
Speaker 1: watch the pilot and then and I want at least
Speaker 1: the two of you or Justin if you watch as well,
Speaker 1: just message me. Please let me know what you thought,
Speaker 1: even if you're like not for me, I would just
Speaker 1: love to know what you thought. You look justin Justin
Speaker 1: seen it and love it down. Have you seen Patriot Daniel? Yes,
Speaker 1: I stared Amazon Prime. No, I started it. I'm like
Speaker 1: three episodes and I really like it. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, you start getting invested in especially he's like
Speaker 1: I had to learn everything that plays about drilling or
Speaker 1: whatever bring all this. Like he's just trying to bullshit
Speaker 1: his way through being coy, but he's kind of a
Speaker 1: good ship head too, and like it's depiction of the
Speaker 1: CIA is just like hapless and stupid is like the
Speaker 1: first realistic depiction of the CIA. And Dad's my boss
Speaker 1: for a hit. But yeah, anything on Amazon Prime, Like,
Speaker 1: if you hear good things about it, go check it
Speaker 1: out because it's probably criminally underrated. Alright, let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we will be right back. And we're
Speaker 1: back and all right, so the former president next Republican
Speaker 1: presidential candidate gave a speech, and I continue to be
Speaker 1: surprised by how little of a ship people give about everything.
Speaker 1: This dude says at this point, like even like you
Speaker 1: you have all these people who are supposedly like ride
Speaker 1: or die for him, they're like ready to, you know,
Speaker 1: nominate him right now for the next Republican nomination. Some
Speaker 1: people were willing to put their lives on the line
Speaker 1: for him at the end of his last run, and
Speaker 1: now he just no, nobody gives this ship. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's I'm not sure. I'm curious to see what if
Speaker 1: it's like a perception thing where obviously the politicians know
Speaker 1: like they need him because they believe he's their key
Speaker 1: to re election and for the base. But then like
Speaker 1: the base is also kind of like they're still they're
Speaker 1: still Maga gang out there, strong and healthy. But there's
Speaker 1: definitely a group of people who aren't as engaged who
Speaker 1: may have voted for Trump as well. And you know,
Speaker 1: last time he spoke was in February, and no one
Speaker 1: cared except for the people like at Sepack, and it
Speaker 1: got a little bit of coverage because it was you know,
Speaker 1: the first time he was speaking in public since being
Speaker 1: you know, ousted from the White House and the you
Speaker 1: know insurrection all that. But then, yeah, he's in at
Speaker 1: the North Carolina Republican State Convention, and notably Fox News
Speaker 1: ran like a pre taped segment of like Jesse Waters
Speaker 1: Show rather than doing any coverage. What do you think
Speaker 1: that's about. I mean, that's that's the thing that's interesting,
Speaker 1: because do you think they wish they could not be
Speaker 1: associated with him even though that he makes them millions
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars? I think that's what's weird. So
Speaker 1: News Max and O A. N are the two conservative
Speaker 1: you know, hyper just nightmare channels that we're running the
Speaker 1: full speech uninterrupted. MSNBC was like it was quite literally
Speaker 1: on in the background, like on mute, where the pundits
Speaker 1: were just like slamming the event. And CNN didn't air
Speaker 1: it at all. But yeah, with Fox, it's interesting to see,
Speaker 1: like what they clearly have some kind of calculus in mind.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it is, whether they feel that's
Speaker 1: their ability to begin to steer the party away from
Speaker 1: him by not by covering him less, but it's funny.
Speaker 1: By the next day, he was on Fox Business Channel
Speaker 1: or like the host let him say whatever he wanted,
Speaker 1: didn't challenge a single thing he said, so he can
Speaker 1: he can pick his spots. Apparently. I wonder if they
Speaker 1: know that it's not a good look to like him
Speaker 1: out of power and kind of still making up lies
Speaker 1: about the election and like kind of bitter about his loss.
Speaker 1: Like they just kind of they're doing the same thing
Speaker 1: that they were doing when he was in office, which
Speaker 1: is like being the best propaganda wing that they possibly
Speaker 1: can for his administration, and now they recognize, like people's
Speaker 1: appetite for people who aren't in power isn't as strong,
Speaker 1: and like, so you're you're not gonna do him or
Speaker 1: yourself any favors by trying to cram that down their
Speaker 1: throat when he doesn't have anything new to say and
Speaker 1: it's not like about the next election. Um would be
Speaker 1: my best guess as to what's going on, because they
Speaker 1: didn't suddenly find religion, you know, like they didn't or
Speaker 1: find reality, I guess would be a better way of
Speaker 1: saying that. And despite all the like you know, sets
Speaker 1: of lies or the same old hits of the election,
Speaker 1: was still in type things he was doing in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: Like it just no one cared because everyone was focused
Speaker 1: on his pants. Like the thing I saw more than
Speaker 1: even that he spoke, was like you always got his
Speaker 1: pants on backwards and that's all people were fixated on.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I sure, great he did. He didn't. It's
Speaker 1: it looks very like when Trump like that's how his
Speaker 1: clothes said, he has no his clothes fit ill fitting clothing.
Speaker 1: Did you try and go without pleats? Maybe? Is that
Speaker 1: what like was surprising people. I don't know, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just but it's just that's the state of affairs
Speaker 1: where we don't care what he's saying anymore. Let's just
Speaker 1: look at his crotch and be like huh um. And
Speaker 1: that's about as much attention he's getting, like from you know,
Speaker 1: the internet punditory class. But it's just a it's just
Speaker 1: an interesting evolution for him now, especially as you know
Speaker 1: on the face on the back of that Facebook to
Speaker 1: your band too, that he's facing. It's like, okay, because
Speaker 1: this is what he's got to work with at the moment.
Speaker 1: I just felt good to have so many people not care,
Speaker 1: not give a ship. Yeah, it does feel good, and
Speaker 1: I am very uh, you know, skeptical about that, like
Speaker 1: about their reasoning for that. Like I know that there
Speaker 1: was an article about over the weekend about a conservative
Speaker 1: talk radio person who suddenly shifted and went from like
Speaker 1: a stop to steel focus on the recounting Arizona thing
Speaker 1: to let's not even push this recount for because well,
Speaker 1: I think first of all, probably realized that it's not
Speaker 1: they're they're not going to find anything, And I think
Speaker 1: they yeah, I think they're just thinking like bigger picture,
Speaker 1: like that this is not a good precedent to set
Speaker 1: for electoral politics, like everything that he's doing, and we're
Speaker 1: about to talk about BBN Yahoo, like it's that whole movement,
Speaker 1: like the Republican and right wing conservative movement is all
Speaker 1: anti democratic now and in and they're trying to pull
Speaker 1: this off in places that have a lot of protections
Speaker 1: in place to you know, not enough protections in place,
Speaker 1: but still, you know, you're kind of fighting a losing
Speaker 1: battle if you're claiming to be democratic and then trying
Speaker 1: to just fucking spike the game board and knock all
Speaker 1: the pieces off. But real quick, let's talk about Joe Manchin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because he can just shut the hell up as far
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. Uh, he's yeah. I mean again, he's
Speaker 1: just made it clear he's not going to be voting
Speaker 1: for the Four the People Act because I guess he
Speaker 1: has no interest in protecting whatever form of democracy this
Speaker 1: is here, And he wrote an op ed He's like,
Speaker 1: why won't be voting for it? And it's just like,
Speaker 1: it's just all nonsense, you know. He says, quote, we
Speaker 1: are now witnessing the fundamental right to vote has itself
Speaker 1: become overtly politicized what yeah, by Republicans. Today's debate about
Speaker 1: how to best protect our right to vote and to
Speaker 1: hold elections, however, is not about finding common ground but
Speaker 1: seeking part is an advantage. Yes, part is in um
Speaker 1: right because everyone gets to vote. But the voter suppression
Speaker 1: that the Republicans are engaged in, that is hyper partisan
Speaker 1: because their whole aim is to prevent people of the other.
Speaker 1: That's fine, Joe Manson to continue on with your nonsense rant.
Speaker 1: And then he also sort of goes on He's like,
Speaker 1: if it's like so good, how come no Republicans voted
Speaker 1: for it? Are you fucking serious? What the fuck? It's
Speaker 1: just so I mean, look, he's either he's probably an
Speaker 1: idiot and disingenuous. So I don't know which way to
Speaker 1: look at it, but his whole thing is like, that's
Speaker 1: of course no Republicans supported. They are actively suppressing the
Speaker 1: vote to skew the outcomes in their favor. So it
Speaker 1: does not behoove them to participate in a free and
Speaker 1: fair election. And even sort of like indicates on some level,
Speaker 1: and it's like yeah, because you know, like if more
Speaker 1: people vote, like they'll vote Democrat, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: you think that they will need a seat at the
Speaker 1: table to figure out how that works. Like, well, that's
Speaker 1: because their platform and their ideology is absolutely repulsive to
Speaker 1: many people. That's why not because you can mail in vote,
Speaker 1: Like what the funk are you talking about? And yes,
Speaker 1: all that to say is that he will continue to
Speaker 1: work for everyone to quote seek by partisan compromise, no
Speaker 1: matter how difficult, and you just went along with him
Speaker 1: in Kirsten Centemo. You just want to say, there's no
Speaker 1: such thing anymore. You have a group that is actively
Speaker 1: engaged in destroying any kind of free and fair election,
Speaker 1: and to keep doing this thing of like, well we
Speaker 1: should do things democratically or else, then no one's doing democracy.
Speaker 1: It completely fails to see the point that these people
Speaker 1: are going out of the bounds to to be able
Speaker 1: to reach their goals and to act like you have to.
Speaker 1: The only way to counter that is by seeing the
Speaker 1: flaws in the system as it is, there's no way
Speaker 1: anyone can win. So good luck Joe Manchin. But I
Speaker 1: hope you know this. We'll see what kind of pressure
Speaker 1: can be put on, especially him in cinema. But Tusk,
Speaker 1: you guys a broad question, and forgive me if you've
Speaker 1: talked about it times. Do you think we're likely to
Speaker 1: actually see a party split on the Republican sign or
Speaker 1: will they just forsake like what's his name in Illinois,
Speaker 1: Kissinger the Kinger. Yeah, well they just forsake him and
Speaker 1: what they feel is the small minority of Republican voters
Speaker 1: and just be like, no, this is what we are now,
Speaker 1: and then those people will just like break off. Like
Speaker 1: I have people in my family. I asked them last week.
Speaker 1: I asked one of them very specifically. They voted for
Speaker 1: Trump in they voted for Biden. They are lifelong Republican,
Speaker 1: and I said, currently as things are right now, and
Speaker 1: this was right after like the we don't want to
Speaker 1: investigate January six vote. Are you a Republican? And they
Speaker 1: said to me, I've known this person of my whole life.
Speaker 1: They go, no, I don't know what I am because
Speaker 1: I'm not a Democrat. But then my party is like
Speaker 1: doing things that are just the opposite of just rational
Speaker 1: thought or like they're just not even you know what.
Speaker 1: And so the either are lost and I said, and
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking for everybody, but I said to them,
Speaker 1: I go the promises, they're not talking to you anymore.
Speaker 1: From like nine eighty to like two thousand twelve, two thourteen,
Speaker 1: they specifically talked to Christians and they were like, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be your party, and that's how they got this
Speaker 1: vote or my family member that I was speaking to.
Speaker 1: And then with the trump onslaught, it became speaking to
Speaker 1: angry people and they benefited because a lot of quote
Speaker 1: unquote Christians also were pretty angry, so they fell into
Speaker 1: that bucket anyway. But if you weren't like a blind
Speaker 1: angry race or and or racist person, just a like
Speaker 1: Christian who voted Republican, no one's talking to they don't.
Speaker 1: They're done with you. They've done the math, and they said,
Speaker 1: there's way more angry people that also happened to be Christian,
Speaker 1: And so I just wonder, like, what happens to this
Speaker 1: column of Republican that's like, like, guys, when you say
Speaker 1: something like how good can it be? No Republican vote
Speaker 1: for it, Like it's that doesn't make it good, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense. Do you think we'll see a
Speaker 1: split off there or they'll just forsake this This six
Speaker 1: million to ten million people who helped decide this vote
Speaker 1: who are like, I think it will boil down to money,
Speaker 1: And there's a there are capitalists who give their money
Speaker 1: to Republicans because they know in the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's about it's more in service of their industry or business,
Speaker 1: and I feel like those are going to be the
Speaker 1: people behind the scenes pressuring people like through donors to
Speaker 1: be like, we can't be with this anymore. This doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Can we do something different? But then splitting that vote
Speaker 1: is a just gigantic threat to their their dominance or
Speaker 1: just perceived dominance, or their ability to win elections if
Speaker 1: their parties split. So I think both sides are honestly
Speaker 1: looking at that too, because there's many progressives who are like,
Speaker 1: what are what's Joe Biden doing? Like, what is he
Speaker 1: He's not? Well, wouldn't I remember when Chuck Schumer's like
Speaker 1: if Amy Coney Barrett is if she's pushed through in
Speaker 1: her confirmation, he said everything's on the table. That was
Speaker 1: the pump fake of the fucking decade right there, because
Speaker 1: this this man be doing shit. So I and I
Speaker 1: see a plenty of people too, are upsets saying we're
Speaker 1: looking at existential threats for people who are you know,
Speaker 1: trans for people who just want agency over their reproductive
Speaker 1: rights and things like that, where is that fight? Because
Speaker 1: it ain't there? And then so that leaves a group
Speaker 1: of people bewildered on the left too. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a very I don't think either party wants
Speaker 1: that to happen, but yeah, I don't know eventually if
Speaker 1: the situation will be untenable enough for their Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what we have to do. Yeah, Yeah, I think there's
Speaker 1: more and more appetite for non mainstream like I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: like Myles said, both on the left on the right,
Speaker 1: But it would have to take like a very extreme
Speaker 1: confluence of circumstances I think for the for the party
Speaker 1: to actually split because it would be somewhat suicidal I
Speaker 1: think for that group of people since because of the
Speaker 1: way American politics is set up that it's such a
Speaker 1: two party system. Right, But hey, that would be great.
Speaker 1: I would love nothing more. A significant amount of voters
Speaker 1: could say, oh, we'll blow up your party plans on
Speaker 1: election day if you don't start doing what we want. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I mean, look at all the power that Bernie
Speaker 1: Sanders was able to have being like not really any
Speaker 1: party and just like saying what he meant, and he's
Speaker 1: pushed the entire movement left ward. Yeah. But I think,
Speaker 1: but I think this frustration on either side is both
Speaker 1: parties take their base for granted, and just know, if
Speaker 1: we say these three things every day, don't know that
Speaker 1: it's where the party that they think we are and
Speaker 1: that's all we need to do for now. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: getting tired, well kind of taking this whole thing that
Speaker 1: we're talking about, international, h b B net and Yahoo.
Speaker 1: You know, it seems like this has been a year
Speaker 1: and a half long story where you have to be
Speaker 1: paying very close attention to understand like why it's taking
Speaker 1: so long because he like lost an election a year ago.
Speaker 1: Uh then lost another election like right after that, and
Speaker 1: he keeps like having bad electoral results. Finally, there was
Speaker 1: a coalition of other leaders that came together to form
Speaker 1: a government that would remove him from power, and he
Speaker 1: has We we know this is actually a serious change
Speaker 1: to business as usual because he has just taken a
Speaker 1: page from the Trump playbook and had a temper tantrum.
Speaker 1: I'll just read from this writer's article Prime Minister Benjamin
Speaker 1: Yah who said on Sunday newly formed Israeli coalition that
Speaker 1: has poised unseat him was the result of quote the
Speaker 1: greatest election fraud in the history of democracy. Like just
Speaker 1: couldn't like Trump could have been writing his speech for him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean they all have, like when Bostonaro loses,
Speaker 1: if they're able to like hold a free and fair election,
Speaker 1: He'll say the exact same ship. It's just the entire
Speaker 1: conservative movement has become a anti democratic, like pro authoritarian movement.
Speaker 1: And his whole claim that like this is a fraud,
Speaker 1: is that the one of the right wing leaders who's
Speaker 1: like part of this coalition like broke a campaign promise
Speaker 1: and he's like that's yeah, that's a fraud. That's like
Speaker 1: that's just politics. Every they've all just become that fucking
Speaker 1: kid yep, that you played tag with that swore they
Speaker 1: weren't touched, and everybody knows they got touched. I'm holding
Speaker 1: your shirt right now, like no, no, no, you know
Speaker 1: you didn't get me. You didn't get me. Serious phantom
Speaker 1: phantom phantom sensations. And the great thing was in our
Speaker 1: day everybody just eventually would stop playing with that kid.
Speaker 1: But like I'd love us to get back to that.
Speaker 1: We're like, no, you got it. You got hit with
Speaker 1: the nerve gun, like the little we saw your body right,
Speaker 1: it wasn't wind, asshole. And I don't care if these
Speaker 1: are your toys were playing with. That doesn't mean you cheat.
Speaker 1: A hit is a hit. And I mean even now,
Speaker 1: like you look at enough Trollie Bennett, who's you know,
Speaker 1: you know it could be the next prime minister. He
Speaker 1: ain't He's not better than Benjamin Night. This dude used
Speaker 1: to run. He used to be the leader of a
Speaker 1: settlement movement, you know what I mean. Like, it's just
Speaker 1: it's a wild time right there too, especially now you're
Speaker 1: seeing more and more arrests happening Palestinian people. It's I'm god,
Speaker 1: I just pray that. I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: All I know is I'm curious to see what our
Speaker 1: leaders do on this side of the equation, because there
Speaker 1: is influence and you know that can be exerted over
Speaker 1: certain policies. But yeah, it's just a there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of coverage of um this that mentions the possibility
Speaker 1: of political violence being threatened by the right, which, like
Speaker 1: that's not a small thing in Israel. Like a right
Speaker 1: wing extremist murdered the most popular prime minister of Israel,
Speaker 1: like assassinated him while he was in office. It's a
Speaker 1: Rabin in for signing the Oslo accord, and like this
Speaker 1: is and this was somebody whose politics are like line
Speaker 1: up with b v net and Yahoo. Like it's it's truly,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just another example of how the right
Speaker 1: is allowed to use violence and the left is not.
Speaker 1: Like if the left arms themselves and self defense, they're
Speaker 1: seen as like radical extremists of the right assassinated a
Speaker 1: political opponent, they then got their guy into power. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's the benefit of perception that the conservative
Speaker 1: movements benefit from, which is that they're conserving what exists
Speaker 1: that's a known quantity, progressive represent something that is new,
Speaker 1: and growth, which inherently is unknown and leads to discomfort
Speaker 1: because growth, you know, means change. But I think for
Speaker 1: what all the bad ship that people who are quote
Speaker 1: unquote conserving things will I actually do with their power.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's I think until people can you know,
Speaker 1: sort of abandoned what these things mean just to look
Speaker 1: on its surface, like, are what they talking about? Does
Speaker 1: that include people or exclude people? Because I like things
Speaker 1: that include everybody. If if you're talking exclusion at any level,
Speaker 1: I mean aside from like laws or things like that.
Speaker 1: We're trying to define what is something that is an
Speaker 1: offense or whatever. But like, if your policies to help
Speaker 1: are about including everyone rather than singling people out or
Speaker 1: excluding or whatever, I think we have to move towards that.
Speaker 1: Are we opening our arms for like a bigger you know,
Speaker 1: hug of society to bring more people in under the
Speaker 1: safety net of like what our our systems can offer.
Speaker 1: Are we trying to push people out? And I think fundamentally,
Speaker 1: if people can't start seeing for that, then we're just
Speaker 1: gonna get caught into this. You know, the cliches are conservatives.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take another quick break and we'll be
Speaker 1: back to talk about Jeff Bezos. And we're back. Do
Speaker 1: you guys see the SNL hosted by Jeff Bezos over
Speaker 1: the weekend? That was pretty like what's stopping that from happening? Really?
Speaker 1: His desire? Yeah, he would be as long as what.
Speaker 1: Once he's up to his desires, like muscle mass, he'll
Speaker 1: manager He's like, I'm not ripped enough yet, like six
Speaker 1: more weeks. Anyways, Jeff Bezos dropped a video in which
Speaker 1: he explained that he is going to ride to outer
Speaker 1: space on the first human space flight of his like
Speaker 1: fake NASA company with his brother Blue Origin Baby. That's
Speaker 1: his brother's name. Yeah, he was named by Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk had the naming rights his brother Trent. Is
Speaker 1: that true? No, No, it's his brother's name, park dude,
Speaker 1: Trent basis um so. Yes. This is his announcement video
Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'm doing this and it's it's I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know why he chose to put
Speaker 1: this out, but this is what happens when a billionaire
Speaker 1: and you can do all kinds of cool cowboy cosplay.
Speaker 1: Did you see the Earth from space. That changes you.
Speaker 1: It changes your relationship with this planet, with humanity. It's
Speaker 1: one Earth. I want to go on this flight because
Speaker 1: it's the thing I've wanted to do all my life.
Speaker 1: That's an adventure. It's a big deal for me. I
Speaker 1: invited my brother to come on this first fight because
Speaker 1: we're closest friends. I really want you to come with me,
Speaker 1: would you? Are you serious? I think it would be meaningful.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even expecting him to say that already, Like
Speaker 1: you're like, am I supposed to like pretend to think
Speaker 1: of like, oh, Jeff Bezos gets to do that thing.
Speaker 1: He wanted to just do a little boy and be
Speaker 1: with his brother. I don't like it. Sounds like he
Speaker 1: was drunk right there when he asked his brother just
Speaker 1: wanted to go dude serious? Yeah, human guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's just let's just let's just kid shooting later. You
Speaker 1: know what? You know, what, did you go to space? Serious?
Speaker 1: Right now? I'm dude, I was. I thought about it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest you. I thought before I started
Speaker 1: this beer, like I thought about it yesterday. I just yeah,
Speaker 1: it just gave me the strength to tell you my
Speaker 1: dream right now. But like alcohol is, you don't make
Speaker 1: things up, like you say what's in your heart? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's all I'm doing right now. Like I'll admit,
Speaker 1: like alcohol is making me saying, um, but I want
Speaker 1: to go to space with you. Oh I thought you
Speaker 1: were gonna finally say you loved me and you were
Speaker 1: sorry for all the things that I love space Jeff.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the video goes on where his brother is
Speaker 1: time and it's like a great experience and like it's
Speaker 1: trying to I don't know it. It's hunting because comics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like an attempt to humanize. If you're Jeff Bezos,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways where you left that sentence.
Speaker 1: But wouldn't you feel like a billionaire probably future first trillionaire.
Speaker 1: It's hack of me to go to space. Like every
Speaker 1: dystopian utopian, uto, dystopian rutopian comic Bond, it's all that
Speaker 1: the guy wanted to go to space. If they all
Speaker 1: want to go because they feel like they've conquered this world, right,
Speaker 1: but now they want to go to space, I would
Speaker 1: just be like I can't. If I would be like,
Speaker 1: first of all, here let's fix poverty, then I would
Speaker 1: be like, Hey, uh, I can't go to space. That's hack.
Speaker 1: I can't space attack. But I can't it, isn't it
Speaker 1: kind of hack to do it? Yeah, that's why I
Speaker 1: My first instinct was like, this is the inciting incident
Speaker 1: for a hilarious comedy about Earth's the richest man blasting
Speaker 1: his little arrogant ass up into space and never coming back.
Speaker 1: And was like, what do we doing? His billions? There's
Speaker 1: a mix up with some like janitor at the at
Speaker 1: the place where they shoot it off and his brother,
Speaker 1: and somehow the janitor ends up in his brother's suit
Speaker 1: in the rocket and they don't find out until they
Speaker 1: take off, and then he's now he's there trapped in
Speaker 1: this like capsule together trying to make the way back.
Speaker 1: Oh so yours is a buddy comedy where Jeff like
Speaker 1: they're they're working stuff out in space. Mine is he's
Speaker 1: he's tragically lost in space and then some other guy
Speaker 1: ends up being the beneficiary of his fortune, like a
Speaker 1: King Ralph type situation. I've been trying to work on
Speaker 1: fear in my life and fear based decisions and and
Speaker 1: things like that, But like, if I was all again,
Speaker 1: if I'm Jeff bass. I was like, I can't. This
Speaker 1: would be how I die, Like it's I've worked at
Speaker 1: all life so well into my favor that if I
Speaker 1: go into space, I'm gonna blow up like that, can't
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't risk it, Like I'd be like, no,
Speaker 1: this is because of course that's how I do, like
Speaker 1: my own mida touch, I would I would tell by
Speaker 1: my own ability to do too many things. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's There's the more upsetting one aside from his like
Speaker 1: city slickers cosplay that he shouldn't say that he's wearing
Speaker 1: a cowboy hat, and I get he's from New Mexico,
Speaker 1: Like there's just something like a little too like folksy
Speaker 1: about it. But on the thing that upsets me even
Speaker 1: more is he sounds like a guy who doesn't realize
Speaker 1: he's one of the most hated fucking people on the planet,
Speaker 1: and that eats me up inside. But I think this
Speaker 1: is an opportunity. I think this is this is the
Speaker 1: first time that I've fully seen that he wants to
Speaker 1: be liked by people, or that that matters to him,
Speaker 1: that he wants us to think what he's doing is cool.
Speaker 1: Somebody needs to immediately conduct a poll that tells him, hey,
Speaker 1: that he's despised, right, like we need the mean girl,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker into ending world hunger. And then yeah, like
Speaker 1: I follow up, like, what what would make you like
Speaker 1: him more? Oh? Ending world hunger, ending poverty. Okay, two
Speaker 1: thirds of his fortune away? You guys, I thought about
Speaker 1: that too. I feel like we might have talked about
Speaker 1: this at some point in the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: Like you could be like a literal superhero like Batman.
Speaker 1: If Bruce Wayne was the bat Like if if Batman
Speaker 1: was just Bruce Wayne doing like great things like you,
Speaker 1: you could do it all? Could you really could? Right?
Speaker 1: I literally think we talked about this in studio once
Speaker 1: and we said, like every god damn state would have
Speaker 1: every high school named after you if you wanted to
Speaker 1: just help out, But would you could potentially you could
Speaker 1: like replace Jesus Christ as a messiah figure for people.
Speaker 1: They're like it wasn't did? Yeah? Paid for everything I have?
Speaker 1: We have no medical bills anymore, My my children be educated.
Speaker 1: I have a living wage. Remember that episode of Last
Speaker 1: Week Tonight where they bought medical debt and then forgave
Speaker 1: it on there and people people by association just the
Speaker 1: idea of John Oliver and his producers and HBO, like
Speaker 1: just the idea of people doing that for people that
Speaker 1: wasn't even the ones who had their debt forgiven. Just
Speaker 1: the idea that he had done that for people like
Speaker 1: Americans lost their ship, being like, could you imagine, Like
Speaker 1: it's amazing that they bought that debt and then just
Speaker 1: forgave it that wasn't even they didn't even better them
Speaker 1: watching it or being in the studio audience. Could happy
Speaker 1: Honda days the universe like the universe, the entire listen
Speaker 1: to those radio commercials and yeah, Broy, I'm Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 1: You know, I've kind of messed up a little in
Speaker 1: the beginning, but I hear to make things right. You know,
Speaker 1: you guys are getting under school and not just a school,
Speaker 1: everything in it, getting everything, And we're gonna teach the
Speaker 1: sixteen nineteen project top to bottom. You're all critical race there.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you bought able water and you get water.
Speaker 1: You he's drunk. He's going it podible but sorry, collaborate
Speaker 1: with audible. But like the other thing is, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just I I was talking to somebody over the weekend
Speaker 1: who's like, if you could meet anybody, like face to face.
Speaker 1: Who would you mean? They said, They said some celebrity,
Speaker 1: and I said, bro, I want to meet. I want
Speaker 1: to I want to be in Jeff Bezos's grill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I want. I want to look him. I
Speaker 1: want him be like, oh God. You would probably ask
Speaker 1: him so many questions that sounded rhetorical that you would
Speaker 1: want answers to. Yeah, And I like, no, I legitimately
Speaker 1: need to. I want to know this. Are you know?
Speaker 1: What are you going to do with all this money?
Speaker 1: For real? What are what do you think is gonna happen?
Speaker 1: Do you understand that people completely dislike you because you're
Speaker 1: looked at this maniacal wealthholder who is just doing this
Speaker 1: for his own, you know, his own jollys and extracting
Speaker 1: all this wealth and hoarding it like I feel like
Speaker 1: he's one of There's a certain level of insulation. A
Speaker 1: lot of these people get that. It completely collapses their
Speaker 1: ability to think critically and they're just stuck in accumulate, accumulate, accumulate,
Speaker 1: build monuments to my space fantasies, rather than I have
Speaker 1: the ability to actually do good on Earth. Unfortunate things
Speaker 1: set up where I was a guy who became a
Speaker 1: I could siphon out all this money, but in the
Speaker 1: same way, why not give it right back? Why not
Speaker 1: do that? Why not create outcomes on earth that are
Speaker 1: positive rather than what outcomes can I create to create
Speaker 1: more customers? Right? And yeah, it's the brain that in
Speaker 1: the first place. Having a brain that is capable of
Speaker 1: amassing that amount of wealth without like just breaking or
Speaker 1: like having you like have I bat like shipt yourself
Speaker 1: to death or something like that is what makes that
Speaker 1: like it If we could just have somebody with the
Speaker 1: normal uh like functioning form of empathy that could hit
Speaker 1: that amount of money. But I think that's like a
Speaker 1: contradiction of terms. And if you're a giver, you would
Speaker 1: have never gotten to that level. And then now you
Speaker 1: can look at all your money is just it just
Speaker 1: reinforces the fact that you were right this whole time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about what hit at the box
Speaker 1: office this past weekend. A Quiet Place To continues to
Speaker 1: do well, but The Conjuring, a new movie from the
Speaker 1: Conjuring Universe. It was the number one movie at the
Speaker 1: box office. It made I think nineteen point five million
Speaker 1: or no. Twenty four million over the weekend, which is
Speaker 1: very strong for a post pandemic a weekend, and especially
Speaker 1: for one that's a horror movie. And our writer JM
Speaker 1: was pointing out that apart from Marvel, the Conjuring movies
Speaker 1: have been basically the most successful cinematic universe of recent years.
Speaker 1: They've made I think over a billion dollars. There's been
Speaker 1: three Annabelle films, the none the Curse of Loa Lorna
Speaker 1: or La Na Laurona, inspired by Mexican folklore, and so
Speaker 1: the very first, the very first Conjuring movie is based
Speaker 1: on a haunted house that they blamed on one of
Speaker 1: the witches from the Salem witch trial. And these movies
Speaker 1: are based in a universe where that was not an
Speaker 1: act of mass hysteria. Mass hysteria and like fanatical mass murder.
Speaker 1: It was completely justified that we're all we're always just
Speaker 1: beset on all sides by demons, and yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: shot through with conservative politics. And it follows this married
Speaker 1: couple who are like this good folksy Christian couple that
Speaker 1: goes from one place to the next, one haunting to
Speaker 1: the next, fighting, fighting the devil. Well when the first
Speaker 1: movie came out, Warner Brothers hired a company specifically to
Speaker 1: sell the film to Christian audiences. And when The Curse
Speaker 1: of Lijorna actually uh, when it came out, it actually
Speaker 1: used Mexican healers for spiritual cleansings before screenings. What yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like literally hard. So it's it's trading on this thing,
Speaker 1: like this is really hot and they keep you know,
Speaker 1: every one of these is like based on the horrifying
Speaker 1: true events. Um, this new movie is based on what
Speaker 1: they're claiming is a true story about a dude who
Speaker 1: murdered as landlord after the landlord got drunken threatened a
Speaker 1: nine year old girl, and his defense in court was
Speaker 1: that the devil made him do it. The judge would
Speaker 1: not allow that, was like, no, no, the devil did
Speaker 1: not make you do it. But in this they like
Speaker 1: take it very seriously. And Jay I'm also pointed out
Speaker 1: that so they made their name on the Amityville Horror,
Speaker 1: which if you're familiar with that story, like the person
Speaker 1: who initially publicized that came out and was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did that as like a joke, uh, as like
Speaker 1: a money making It was a real estate agent and
Speaker 1: a lawyer and the real estate agent was like, how
Speaker 1: could we get people to actually buy this house? And
Speaker 1: he says that, like they were three bottles of wine
Speaker 1: deep and came up with this idea and then brought
Speaker 1: in exactly and brought in this ghost hunting couple. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so the movie is kind of hinge on this wholesome
Speaker 1: Christian marriage. The dad actually began a relationship with a child, uh,
Speaker 1: fifteen year old when he was a school bus driver.
Speaker 1: She was taking his school bus to school. He was
Speaker 1: in his thirties. Uh, he started relationship with her and
Speaker 1: moved her into their house, where she lived for four decades.
Speaker 1: And the cops were tipped off and arrested the girl
Speaker 1: when she was a teenager. And that's the real life
Speaker 1: of this couple who are people or whatever. But America
Speaker 1: just desperately wants this ship to be true. Like there,
Speaker 1: I mean, you just look at the satanic panic that
Speaker 1: like people are still in prison from that ship. Really
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, like yeah, I mean that's what capturing
Speaker 1: the Freeman's was about. Like there's all all sorts of
Speaker 1: like real accusations that are based on the idea that
Speaker 1: like towns are secretly run by these and now we
Speaker 1: have Q, you know, and people who want to believe
Speaker 1: that like there are these satanic cabals that are secretly
Speaker 1: running everything behind the scenes. I've seen in mainstream like
Speaker 1: kind of right wing, but like still like on the
Speaker 1: front page of the Drudge Report, which gets more traffic
Speaker 1: on the front page of the New York Times by
Speaker 1: a lot, a bunch of articles about how like there's
Speaker 1: been upticking exorcisms that you know. So I think, guys,
Speaker 1: I've always wondered this, what makes someone think but just
Speaker 1: because something's a demon that it is the yang to
Speaker 1: Christianity ying? Right? Like why like if if even if
Speaker 1: there was a demon possessed right and you go in
Speaker 1: with a chruscifix and y'all this Jesus stuff, Like what's
Speaker 1: what's to say that demon just wouldn't be like oh what,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, no, I'm not part of the whole Christian thing,
Speaker 1: like that doesn't there are demons if that would like
Speaker 1: totally like they fight with Jesus. They got a whole thing.
Speaker 1: But I'm my own, I'm like an independent I don't
Speaker 1: like christ Fixes don't. It's like it's like you have
Speaker 1: to and this is kind of what you're saying to
Speaker 1: talk about these beliefs and stuff, like the demon itself
Speaker 1: has to believe in the power of Jesus Christ like
Speaker 1: so so they have to be part of the like
Speaker 1: extended Christian universe in order to like have a supply
Speaker 1: at all. Like why is Christianity always the answer to
Speaker 1: something demonic or evil? Like what if it's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm not part of the Christian game. I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: I'm a Buddhist demon. So unless you roll in here
Speaker 1: with like Buddha, like nothing's really you know what I
Speaker 1: mean hanging out here, which is that's why it's powerful, right,
Speaker 1: because it is an entertaining, scary story with like fun
Speaker 1: special effects, even when it was like just being told
Speaker 1: you over a campfire, like it's like cool things happening
Speaker 1: that like you can imagine your mind and and it
Speaker 1: reinforces like a worldview that your entire society is based around.
Speaker 1: And so it's like you know that that's it. Just
Speaker 1: the audacity that every demon is the inverse of Judeo
Speaker 1: Christian beliefs is like wild, but that helps reinforce this idea,
Speaker 1: right that it's like, man, this Christianity is it's so potent.
Speaker 1: You can fight fucking de means with this ship, right,
Speaker 1: you do? You guys watch The Outsider last year on HBO.
Speaker 1: I did not watch that one. Oh the what's his face? Yes?
Speaker 1: And so in it there is like a monster like
Speaker 1: almost like a demon like a monster, and it never
Speaker 1: has anything to do there's no Christian like forces at
Speaker 1: work element to it, because it's like, well, no, this
Speaker 1: is a bad thing that lives in our world and
Speaker 1: does bad things Jesus have to say about right, and
Speaker 1: the thing, the thing is nothing. And I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm very inarticulate and what I'm trying to say, so
Speaker 1: I apologize, I keep sort of reiterating, but like it
Speaker 1: just always befuddled me that I was just like, why
Speaker 1: would how would you know that, like Jesus dying ish
Speaker 1: two thousand years ago, like has anything to do with
Speaker 1: this demon here? Yeah? Could you punk a demonologist and
Speaker 1: like you to create You're like non watch there, They're
Speaker 1: they're gonna think it's a demon. But what we're gonna
Speaker 1: say is, oh, we we're atheist demons, right, Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not denominated, we're non demon and demon national father because
Speaker 1: I have none, right, exactly the power of Christ Christ.
Speaker 1: Oh no, what the rogue demon here? First of all,
Speaker 1: we've got to educate this demon on who Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: was and what Jesus Christ did for people, and then
Speaker 1: they'll be afraid of it, right right, craft store and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, okay, huh, which is why like Ghostbusters
Speaker 1: is great, because they were like, no, there's no holy water.
Speaker 1: We just got to contain them in this cool little box.
Speaker 1: We slide across the floor like that Proton packs. Man,
Speaker 1: how you rid yourself with the scullery brothers? Right? Don't
Speaker 1: cross your streams, don't bring God into it, right. Daniel
