Speaker 1: to be here, Great to be here. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: while we're on the topic of r h C p K. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a little something that I just wanted to
Speaker 1: add to the discourse. I just want to be part
Speaker 1: of the conversation. And you know, and I think I
Speaker 1: think you guys, you guys know this better than anyone.
Speaker 1: This bit has great legs. I think it's gonna stay.
Speaker 1: It's gonna stay fresh, long, long into yeah, at least.
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to kind of throw this out
Speaker 1: there in in case, you know, in case you ever
Speaker 1: felt like you wanted to, you know, pivot a little
Speaker 1: bit or going in another direction something I was thinking of.
Speaker 1: Have you ever considered, you know, maybe the next phase
Speaker 1: of this is red Hot Chili's Peppers. Chili's peppers just
Speaker 1: take take our HCP. You put in a new chain restaurant.
Speaker 1: It fits right in there. And again I'm not as
Speaker 1: I'm not the expert in this that you guys are,
Speaker 1: but just to start you off with where red Hot
Speaker 1: Chilis Peppers could go. Can't stop addicted to the blossom.
Speaker 1: This appetizers really awesome. And I don't have anything else.
Speaker 1: I don't have maybe the marks to the ribs baby ribs,
Speaker 1: uh baby back baby to back now yeah there you
Speaker 1: sure it? Anyway, my gift to you, take it and
Speaker 1: run if you want. Chilis Peppers. Uh yeah, we're actually
Speaker 1: I mean we have been contacted by a few uh
Speaker 1: music kind of representation, you know, record companies and agents
Speaker 1: about just being a all chain restaurant teamed are h
Speaker 1: c P cover band, So you know we're we're weighing
Speaker 1: our options, but this is uh yeah, it's it's definitely happening.
Speaker 1: Big shout out to all the fans. Will soon forget
Speaker 1: about once we're huge arena touring musicians. Can I just
Speaker 1: say this, aside from this graunge contribution to the r
Speaker 1: h c P discourse and as we further out along,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention that something very serendipitous happened
Speaker 1: because Jordan's I didn't realize you were going to be
Speaker 1: on the show until like like later last night when
Speaker 1: I was sort of looking through the dock and I
Speaker 1: was just so happening to be watching Bar Rescue when
Speaker 1: you were honest so in the bar. So there's an
Speaker 1: episode of Bar Rescue where these motherfucker's think their bar
Speaker 1: is haunted. Okay, and Jordan pops up with who is
Speaker 1: Who's other dude? Party writer podcaster met Myra. So you
Speaker 1: show up and then I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and then I see you. Then I looked on the dock.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this was all meant
Speaker 1: to be. The energy was swirling. I just want to
Speaker 1: ask about that bar. Do you think that bar was
Speaker 1: actually haunted that John Taffrica rescued? So, yeah, so I
Speaker 1: should say I did you know if you if you're
Speaker 1: familiar with Bar Rescue, they have the recon portion where
Speaker 1: you know, some some of John Tapper, Chaff Taffer's close
Speaker 1: personal friends which you include, goes to the bar and
Speaker 1: like kind of gives him the lowdown on like what's
Speaker 1: really going on in this place? And wait, so do
Speaker 1: you go undercover? I actually don't know the show. Do
Speaker 1: you go undercover like as a customer or you just
Speaker 1: go and do reconnaissance and they know you are part
Speaker 1: of the team. Yeah. No, I think the ideas that
Speaker 1: you are just a norm. I mean, obviously the bar
Speaker 1: is set up to shoot in, so there's lights, there's cameras.
Speaker 1: That part of it is, you know, and like everybody
Speaker 1: in the bar has to sign some sort of release
Speaker 1: so they kind of know that there's something shooting going on.
Speaker 1: But no, I mean I think we you know, the
Speaker 1: people at the bar were serving people just kind of
Speaker 1: like normal, and so you know, me and me and
Speaker 1: Matt just kind of like order drinks like we were.
Speaker 1: We were there too, just to soak up the ghosts
Speaker 1: and ghosts or no ghosts? What are you doing? I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think there are ghosts period. I
Speaker 1: don't think there are Eddie ghosts at all anywhere. And
Speaker 1: I don't think, uh no, I don't think this place
Speaker 1: was was haunted. Were it smelled bad? I don't know
Speaker 1: if that because Okay, my other question is do you
Speaker 1: think they were lying or do they were? The bar
Speaker 1: because the people when they were shooting in the bar,
Speaker 1: the staff there was like the owner like vanished because
Speaker 1: he was so shook by the ghosts. And I bought
Speaker 1: all this equipment to try and communicate with ghosts. And
Speaker 1: I was like, is are they lying to get on
Speaker 1: bar rescue or were they really thinking their ship was haunted?
Speaker 1: I mean, people do take ghost stuff seriously, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But you do you do they seem
Speaker 1: like true? Believe? Yeah? I didn't. I did doubt their sincerity.
Speaker 1: I I I would believe that that they would actually
Speaker 1: be concerned about a haunting. Yes, I will give them that.
Speaker 1: I take the placebo effect approach to ghosts, like it
Speaker 1: is definitely real to them, to the effect that it
Speaker 1: might as well be real, like they're seeing and hearing
Speaker 1: whatever they claim to be seeing and hearing. It's not
Speaker 1: like they're just making it up as a goof right, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just that the unconscious is vast and
Speaker 1: very powerful. But it was a real thrill. I was
Speaker 1: ghost stories right now, and that brings me to wait,
Speaker 1: was there was part of the thing they need to
Speaker 1: be rescued from where they like, you know, we can't
Speaker 1: make money Either's like ghosts suky they had as part
Speaker 1: of the episode that I was not therefore, was like
Speaker 1: they did like a cleansing. They had like a cleanser
Speaker 1: come and do this clean. I believe the episode is
Speaker 1: called Johnny Afraid of No Ghost Yeah, if correctly, Yes,
Speaker 1: I mean, my miles, do you think that's why, like
Speaker 1: we we've been having trouble with the uh Apple charts
Speaker 1: where we're not charting the way we want to be.
Speaker 1: Do you think there might be a ghost? You think
Speaker 1: that's what? I don't know Man, you think that's why
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan is so huge. It's just paid a bunch
Speaker 1: of ghosts on a graveyard. Man. All Right, Jordan, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better in
Speaker 1: a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a couple
Speaker 1: of things we're talking about. We're gonna talk about the
Speaker 1: US media coverage of the Israel Palestine conflict and just
Speaker 1: how I'm seeing echoes of like sort of what we
Speaker 1: lived through in and the media bias that we see
Speaker 1: here in these United States. We'll talk about Liz Cheney
Speaker 1: finally being canceled. This is the Elon Musk, the Elon
Speaker 1: Musk hosting SNL of politics. Because this story has like
Speaker 1: I thought this had happened and a dozen times before
Speaker 1: it actually officially now has happened. Uh, they've been talking
Speaker 1: about it for weeks and finally here we are they
Speaker 1: officially through or under the bus. I want to get
Speaker 1: to Greg Kelly's pants today. We've had it on the
Speaker 1: dock for a little while, but I do want to
Speaker 1: talk speaking into existence, Jack, you want to get into
Speaker 1: Greg Kelly's pants to thank you, sir, into one of
Speaker 1: his many mini pockets. Yes, we'll talk about that prego Heck,
Speaker 1: did you guys see the prego heck? Yeah? About pregnancy? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I looked up how does baby? Uh? Baby make?
Speaker 1: How does baby make? No? No, this is a hack
Speaker 1: for how to make spaghetti with meatballs? That, um, there's
Speaker 1: a it seems like it's a badly acted bit, but
Speaker 1: I don't know these cooking has My response to whet
Speaker 1: that story, we will talk about the summer of flavor
Speaker 1: that we have coming to us courtesy of Laz all
Speaker 1: of that, plenty more. But first, Jordans, we like to
Speaker 1: ask our guests, what is something from your search history
Speaker 1: that's revealing about who you? Oh? Yeah, so this this
Speaker 1: needs a little bit of set up. I'll ask you, guys,
Speaker 1: how familiar are you with Sonic the Hedgehog fan art? Oh?
Speaker 1: Fan art? Yeah, like the fan art community around the
Speaker 1: video game character Sonic the Hedgehog. I mean, I'm familiar
Speaker 1: enough with the franchise word when I've encountered fan art,
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense. But I don't know if
Speaker 1: I could call out specific pieces of fan art, or
Speaker 1: maybe I could if I saw it, because I don't know.
Speaker 1: We see I see so much internet all the time
Speaker 1: that Yeah, i'd say, chance, I know what we're talking about. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would say that there's a collector, but
Speaker 1: go ahead, averaged on Sonic fan art, you have a
Speaker 1: lot of n F T s um so okay. So yes,
Speaker 1: Sonic the Hedgehog fan art it has a robust community
Speaker 1: and and you know, like there's the typical kind of
Speaker 1: like fan art genres that you might expect, you know,
Speaker 1: like uh, you know Sonic as Avatar, the Last Airbender
Speaker 1: and you know, and but then new of course, you
Speaker 1: get into the you get into the erotic Sonic with
Speaker 1: a you know, huge Veny Crank giving it to Luigi,
Speaker 1: things like yeah, so you know what you would expect,
Speaker 1: but I'm intrigued. So and the but the genres get
Speaker 1: even more specific. There is a a robust and thriving
Speaker 1: community of Christian Sonic fan art people. So it's like
Speaker 1: Sonic weeping at the foot of the Cross. Oh yep, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Sonic reading Bible verses, but they'll awkwardly insert
Speaker 1: other Sonic the Sonic characters, so it'll be like no
Speaker 1: one comes to the Father but through me knuckles. So
Speaker 1: so that exists, right, and the one I found out
Speaker 1: about this week was there is Sonic on his deathbed
Speaker 1: fan art. So it's like Sonic in the hospital on
Speaker 1: on life support and then like tails weeping at his
Speaker 1: bedside and there, and it's not just one person did this.
Speaker 1: Many people have done this, and it's all it's most
Speaker 1: of it's done in MS paint and it's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know where it comes from. It's like, yeah, what
Speaker 1: about this weeks to people? What that's so great? So
Speaker 1: I have I have now googled Sonic Sonic fan art
Speaker 1: deathbed Maria looks so sad and the top result for
Speaker 1: a Sonics deathbed. Yeah. And you think he'd be like
Speaker 1: fun that, Like you think he'd be kicking the plug
Speaker 1: out of his life support machion. You would think, so
Speaker 1: he's Nintendo all day. Absolutely. This guy rassed me in
Speaker 1: commercials in the nineties. He beat me in the Olympics.
Speaker 1: But it's you know when it feels like the Easy
Speaker 1: Doctor Dre thing, when when Easy was on his deathbed,
Speaker 1: Dre came through and was like, look, man, like, let's
Speaker 1: put all that ship behind us. I feel like Mario
Speaker 1: is Dre in this in this situation. He's like we're
Speaker 1: you know, we we had our differences, but we are
Speaker 1: the same deep down. And I seeing you dying here
Speaker 1: is is a little too close for home. It's it's
Speaker 1: making me think about my own mortality. And also Luigi
Speaker 1: clearly injected you with whatever's killing you. Feel bad about it? Right?
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Jordan's about once
Speaker 1: a year, I I forget that I hate Starbucks blended
Speaker 1: drinks and I get a Starbucks blended drink because it's
Speaker 1: time for a treaty, you know, And I and I
Speaker 1: get it because you know, the the it looks good
Speaker 1: on the menu. Yeah, really good photography for the very
Speaker 1: good photography. Yeah, jeez. If you've ever seen one of
Speaker 1: tho Starbucks breakfast sandwiches in person versus the menu, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know the suvied egg bites and you're like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: and you're like, are these pencil erasers that are just
Speaker 1: greasy tastes good? Yeah? Yeah, That's what I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: the same thing about the breakfast sandwich is the sausage
Speaker 1: cheddar egg breakfast sandwich looks like shit. It looks like
Speaker 1: and even like parts of it are hard that shouldn't
Speaker 1: be hard and yeah the wave to fuck. I've never
Speaker 1: had one that I didn't enjoy, like of the sandwich.
Speaker 1: For some reason, they just they have I think whatever
Speaker 1: chemicals they because if you agreed to the if you're
Speaker 1: getting a Starbucks breakfast sandwich, it's because you're so out
Speaker 1: your mind hungry. That's why it's relative. Because I'm never
Speaker 1: checking for Starbucks. I'm doing that because I'm like, fuck,
Speaker 1: is something that resembles breakfast airport and I'm met, ad
Speaker 1: I need something taste better when you're running a marathon,
Speaker 1: that's like the equipment, like the brand. The trick my
Speaker 1: brain is, so what's your what's what how what's your
Speaker 1: experience like with the blended drinks? Like in your mind,
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be? And it always ends up being
Speaker 1: in It's like it sounds like me with cotton or
Speaker 1: candy corn. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean that's a great
Speaker 1: that's a great analogy. That thing that like one one
Speaker 1: bite or one sip of it is a lot of
Speaker 1: fun and then the fifth bite You're like fuck this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just like I get it and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: this will be like you know, this will be this
Speaker 1: will be tasty, this will give me a little pep
Speaker 1: and I every time I have it, I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is this is I see, this is chunky in a
Speaker 1: way that I don't like. And I just wish it
Speaker 1: was a Carl's Junior milkshake for the colories, you know,
Speaker 1: like r right, it's it's ice. It's like ice crystals
Speaker 1: at the core with like the coffee milky stuff around it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it just makes you wish it was a
Speaker 1: milkshake because like a slushiest rap, I can deal with
Speaker 1: the fact that like the balance gets thrown off as
Speaker 1: I'm drinking it and it's just ice left behind. But
Speaker 1: when it's a coffee drink, it's it's like that that
Speaker 1: balance is too funked up. It's like, now I just
Speaker 1: feel like I'm drinking like the weakest coffee that's ever
Speaker 1: been brewed and then left out for it, stuck up
Speaker 1: against a cool latta from Duncan. I think it's similar.
Speaker 1: I make you equally frustrating because I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of it ends up being a lot of
Speaker 1: frozen water. At the end of the day. It sounds like, well,
Speaker 1: we are looking at is trying to move away from
Speaker 1: the frat pay and towards milkshake territory with these drinks.
Speaker 1: You know, I am not a I have I have
Speaker 1: not a Duncan guy. I uh um. I grew up
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, so Duncans are kind of a
Speaker 1: new thing, you know for me in the in the landscape,
Speaker 1: and I moved recently and there's there's a close Duncan
Speaker 1: and I've just never liked it. I I can't find
Speaker 1: anything I like there. I kind of want to join
Speaker 1: the East Coast people and they're like in ziasm for
Speaker 1: Duncan because I think it's very sincere. I think it's
Speaker 1: very adorable, and I want to, like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I want to share that because I do love donuts,
Speaker 1: but every time I've gone to Duncan, it sucks, and
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want it to I wanted Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what Jack put me onto when we were I'm
Speaker 1: like all sour cream cake donuts and yeah, I feel
Speaker 1: like it's pretty hard to funk up if you're have
Speaker 1: you only been to Duncan on the West Coast. And
Speaker 1: I'm not a Duncan apologist by any means, but no, no no,
Speaker 1: and I'm yeah, I think I I've had it out
Speaker 1: here a couple of times, and then I had I
Speaker 1: had it a couple of times on the East Coast
Speaker 1: as like road trip airport, like a road trip airport
Speaker 1: type stop. Yeah, I've heard people who are Duncan defenders
Speaker 1: in the marketing meetings we have with the Duncan people
Speaker 1: tell me that you're supposed to that, Like they're like, well,
Speaker 1: it's different on the West Coast. And I think it's
Speaker 1: also like franchise e and so you can hit a
Speaker 1: really bad one, you know. That is just Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna ask Jamie Loftus. I'm sure she can rank our
Speaker 1: West Coast Duncan like she's more in it for like
Speaker 1: the Duncan swag then, but I guess she she also
Speaker 1: likes that's not shade. I just feel like I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want people, uh all right, sorry to doubt
Speaker 1: you're I don't know, you're like a bit of light
Speaker 1: ribbing podcaster at a podcaster. I think we can handle
Speaker 1: it the internet, can't we? Jordan, what's something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna put myself out
Speaker 1: there because you know, I like you guys, I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of the show. Um, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: kicked off the show. But I realized that this my
Speaker 1: I'm prepared for what comes. I'm prepared. I think this
Speaker 1: is out there. There's a sentiment that I'm picking up,
Speaker 1: and I think it's an okay time to say this.
Speaker 1: It's it's never been safer to say this third way
Speaker 1: of ska. It seems like it's getting a little rehab
Speaker 1: in the culture. You know, I grew up in Orange
Speaker 1: County in the nineties. It was a big thing for me.
Speaker 1: I was there for the backlash. I you know, the
Speaker 1: backlash was mighty. It was powerful. But now does it
Speaker 1: kind of seem like people are saying, like, hey, maybe
Speaker 1: this was okay? Were we too hard on this? It
Speaker 1: was kind of fun, right. People who fucked with Scott
Speaker 1: will always fun with Scott. You know, like Brandy Posey,
Speaker 1: who comes on she's a Brandy Posey. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: And I played in SKA bands growing up because that
Speaker 1: was the way. Yeah, I played trumpets. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't play a guitar and ship. I put on
Speaker 1: my anti negativity helmet, okay, like a motherfucking aqua bat.
Speaker 1: Then in my band called the lip Tones because we
Speaker 1: like lipped in canned iced tea, The lip Tones. That's
Speaker 1: actually it was stupid, but it had to fit tone
Speaker 1: or sca into the name, right right right. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird, like how I feel like there it sounds like,
Speaker 1: yeah for people who would maybe talk wild shit about it,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I'm kind of digging the skag again.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, so just for like the uninitiated,
Speaker 1: so they know who we're talking, like the Mighty Mighty
Speaker 1: Bostones would be third Whisko. Yeah, and you know, they
Speaker 1: an album this month that is so good it might
Speaker 1: might yeah, they it's I think it's called When God
Speaker 1: Was Great. I listened to it front to back, front
Speaker 1: to back a lot of bad, yeah exactly. And they've
Speaker 1: got an eight minute song on there. I think I've
Speaker 1: heard them refer to it as in a scotta DaVita.
Speaker 1: That's that's from them, That's not from me. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's maybe a result of,
Speaker 1: like you know, we all just kind of went through
Speaker 1: the fucking worst year in history, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: this idea of doing something that's like rooted in like
Speaker 1: fun and enthusiasm is kind of like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a nice thought of just putting on
Speaker 1: a fucking bowling shirt with somebody else's name on it
Speaker 1: and you know, goof goofing around with your with your buds.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we're all kind of just
Speaker 1: like we're craving fun. We're craving goofy nous, and I
Speaker 1: think that that maybe it's causing people to kind of
Speaker 1: look back on that stuff and go like, yeah, that
Speaker 1: was fun, right, Like right, there's an energy the sky.
Speaker 1: I think though that is refreshing when when sort of
Speaker 1: in the context you're bringing up though, especially because so
Speaker 1: much of our music is electronic now that hearing like
Speaker 1: wind instruments and like all that and just a huge
Speaker 1: band is like already sonically, I think refreshing. Shout out
Speaker 1: to sonic refreshing and alright obviously, but yeah, like there
Speaker 1: is that's like the fun of it to me. Now,
Speaker 1: although like I will say this, I'll never focus Sublime
Speaker 1: with Rome. I'm just gonna say that that's just that's
Speaker 1: just a nailed on thing for me as a Southern
Speaker 1: California native, Like Sublime with Rome is not it's not
Speaker 1: something I'm not my sublime, No, not not my sublime.
Speaker 1: I'm just realizing, like I I'm only I'm not a
Speaker 1: huge like Scott or music history person, so like I
Speaker 1: can only like looking at I had to google third
Speaker 1: wave scott bands and then looking at all the band names,
Speaker 1: it's like, I know, I've heard of the Mighty Mighty
Speaker 1: Bostones and can place their songs. No doubt, I can
Speaker 1: place their songs, sublime, I can place their songs. Two
Speaker 1: of the best concerts I went to under the age
Speaker 1: of like seventeen, or Mighty Mighty Bostones and no doubt,
Speaker 1: just like accidentally, but like those are really fun shows.
Speaker 1: Like the only time I've ever crowd served was that
Speaker 1: a Mighty Mighty Bostones concert. Wait, hold on, that's cool.
Speaker 1: You went from I don't. I had to look this
Speaker 1: up to me like a fucking crowds when I was
Speaker 1: visiting a college and they happened to be playing with
Speaker 1: run DMC at Penn And that's a bill. That's a bill.
Speaker 1: It was fucking dope, man, it was really And I
Speaker 1: got way too drunk and act weird and that completely
Speaker 1: colored colored whether I wanted to go to that school
Speaker 1: or not. I was like, they all know me and
Speaker 1: think I'm weird now, but I really, uh really at skanking, Jack,
Speaker 1: that could have been your whole identity. You could have
Speaker 1: gone to that college and just then, guy, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I don't know there. Do you end up here? If?
Speaker 1: Do you end up where you are now? Jack? If
Speaker 1: that Scar show really took you away and set you
Speaker 1: on another journey, do you think? Probably not? I think
Speaker 1: about that a lot because I was definitely going to
Speaker 1: go to Pen and both me and my wife we're
Speaker 1: definitely gonna go to Pen and then last second changed
Speaker 1: our mind and went to Georgetown independently of each other.
Speaker 1: And that's a big life change. So before because y'all
Speaker 1: met in college, Yeah, we met in college and we
Speaker 1: were like early just vision Pen and then changed Sharmond's
Speaker 1: last second to go to Georgia. Oh my god, and
Speaker 1: please tell me she was she she she held you
Speaker 1: in the flesh. She remembers me from this. I was like,
Speaker 1: I men, this asshole jumped up on stage and you
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe he crowdsurfed, got all this sweat on me.
Speaker 1: I could not I was dry. Heating was so disgusting, babe,
Speaker 1: that wasn't sweat. I pisted in my pants? Anybody bostones
Speaker 1: so much? Alright, Well, I think I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: let you continue on despite that shocking take. Thank you.
Speaker 1: That's very big of you. I appreciate it was underrated
Speaker 1: r I p my mentioned. Yeah, Yeah, what's one like
Speaker 1: super underrated third wife Scott like album that people need
Speaker 1: to check out to like come around on the Oh? Sure,
Speaker 1: I got an answer off the dome. There's a band
Speaker 1: called the Slackers and they did an album called Wasted
Speaker 1: Days that I was listening to recent lee. It's a
Speaker 1: little more like it's a little more kind of like
Speaker 1: funky reggae with the little soul it's got like it
Speaker 1: it you know, it's not the like power chords that
Speaker 1: you kind of associate with third wave Scott. But it's
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it's a it's it's a great record, a
Speaker 1: lot of hits, and I think that if you, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it would appeal to fans of the genre
Speaker 1: and non fanlight. Uh, let's take a break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back, and let's talk about what's
Speaker 1: going on in Palestine, how it's being covered by the
Speaker 1: US media. I just feel like now that we've lived
Speaker 1: through the year and the experience of watching the news
Speaker 1: media coverage of huge, successful, peaceful, just protests, and they're like,
Speaker 1: look at this individual case sub looting that we saw
Speaker 1: all the way over here, does that negate everything they're
Speaker 1: asking for? Exactly? Window was damaged the media's coverage of
Speaker 1: Israel's provocation and violence towards Palestinians and then like the
Speaker 1: Palestinians reacting and then just covering like starting the story
Speaker 1: at the reaction is I don't know, it just feels
Speaker 1: a little different. That would be like if the like
Speaker 1: four media just covered like Portland at its high point,
Speaker 1: like out, hold on, are you talking about like Ted
Speaker 1: Wheeler or like everything else that's happening in the country.
Speaker 1: You're just going here. It's very very I mean, but
Speaker 1: this is this is how like you know, Western media
Speaker 1: really helps keep everything in check, you know, because I
Speaker 1: think it's part of it is to function. Part of
Speaker 1: its function is to help obscure these kinds of atrocities
Speaker 1: because I think no matter we were talking about this
Speaker 1: on the Trending episode, even in Colombia, people are experiencing
Speaker 1: very similar things around the globe of being like being
Speaker 1: pressed by their governments a lack of access to care
Speaker 1: or any kind of social safety nets or any kind
Speaker 1: of support, and are now having to fight back, are
Speaker 1: having to take a stand against like what they believe
Speaker 1: is uh, whether it's like these taxes in Colombia or
Speaker 1: in the case of East Jerusalem, people being forcefully evicted
Speaker 1: from their homes attacked, and then you know, sort of
Speaker 1: spending this as like these people are are just attacking
Speaker 1: these innocent civilians in Jerusalem, like on the Israeli side,
Speaker 1: and it it just feels I mean, yeah, like you said,
Speaker 1: we've we've seen this happen, this sort of same strategy
Speaker 1: play out in many different instances around the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is there is there? Do either of you haven't explain
Speaker 1: it to me? Like I'm five explanation of what this
Speaker 1: current conflict is because I yeah, I mean I think,
Speaker 1: like you said, I feel like I became aware that
Speaker 1: something was going on. I tried to kind of like
Speaker 1: search for a good story that would explain it to me,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I kind of couldn't find anything.
Speaker 1: I felt like there wasn't there was not good coverage
Speaker 1: of this. Is there a kind of a cacophony. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think a big part that's being left out is
Speaker 1: like there's you know, this occupation which is essentially like
Speaker 1: right wing Israeli forces are occupying and like trying to
Speaker 1: evict Palestinian families from homes they've lived in for generations,
Speaker 1: and they're like, sorry, this is a settlement now, which
Speaker 1: used to be like a far right wing Israeli position,
Speaker 1: and now they're just you know, it's being adopted by
Speaker 1: net Yahoo and you know, part of us. This is
Speaker 1: part of a cycle for him to ramp up settlement
Speaker 1: sort of activities and things like that to bolster his
Speaker 1: support because he also has his own legal liabilities that
Speaker 1: he's exposed to if he's out of office. So there's
Speaker 1: like so yeah, they're using protests around that like eviction
Speaker 1: to then be like, what, we have to amp up
Speaker 1: our police presence. And so now they are they're they're
Speaker 1: doing things like preventing Palestinians from like worshiping on like
Speaker 1: they're cutting down the number of people who can worship
Speaker 1: at like the third holiest site in Islam, and then
Speaker 1: when people like protest that, they start shooting them with
Speaker 1: less lethal not non lethal less lethal munitions and like
Speaker 1: flash grenades and stuff in the mosque, like in the
Speaker 1: actual mosque, and just like and then any response to
Speaker 1: that is being covered as like, uh, you know, militant
Speaker 1: forces and you know, Palestinian forces are clashing and it's
Speaker 1: it's like the place of worshi ship who are and
Speaker 1: one side is allowed to like one side's violence is
Speaker 1: automatically assumed to be legitimate and the other side like
Speaker 1: that's what kind of makes it like fit within the
Speaker 1: broader like kind of what we experienced in twenty is
Speaker 1: that like one side comes in and as aggressive end
Speaker 1: is violent, and the other side, when they protest or
Speaker 1: push back, it's like, well, now you've funked up, and
Speaker 1: now we get to shoot you with rubber bullets and grenades.
Speaker 1: And then, uh, you know, the Palestinians and desperation started
Speaker 1: firing rockets at Israel at Jerusalem, and that is where
Speaker 1: like they have this ABC News story that just starts
Speaker 1: at the Palestinians firing rockets at Jerusalem and they're like
Speaker 1: a children's ballet class had to take cover. They have
Speaker 1: video of that people frantically sprinting through the streets of
Speaker 1: Jerusalem like and they're like, this is the first time
Speaker 1: in seven years that this has happened. Amazingly, no one
Speaker 1: was hurt. Is the is the quote because they're just
Speaker 1: kind of like they're doing it out desperation. They don't
Speaker 1: really have the weaponry to fight back there, just because
Speaker 1: they're not the backing of the U. S Military like
Speaker 1: Israel does. I think a lot of it too, is
Speaker 1: there's they've completely robbed people of the context broadly that
Speaker 1: there this is an occupying force, that this is occupied
Speaker 1: territory that isn't apartheid state, so they're living under that
Speaker 1: already forever. And the pandemic only exacerbated that with like
Speaker 1: very scant supplies for Palestinians to be able to access.
Speaker 1: So it's just building and building and building. It's very
Speaker 1: similar to what was happening last year in in America.
Speaker 1: You know, like the broader context is systemic white supremacy
Speaker 1: has completely ruined this country. Some people are able to
Speaker 1: exist while many others are still experiencing the ills of
Speaker 1: it repeatedly, repeatedly, and we're we get closer and closer
Speaker 1: to like, you know, a tipping point of people saying,
Speaker 1: like what the funk is this like no, but but
Speaker 1: in the in the context of Israel and Palestine, this
Speaker 1: is just like this is the ebb and flow of
Speaker 1: Palatine or of Israeli settlement organizations saying this is ours. Now,
Speaker 1: we're kicking you out. Unfortunately, the courts that you're going
Speaker 1: to try to maybe appeal to will not look at
Speaker 1: any of your documentation. Meanwhile, I can give you know,
Speaker 1: documents that aren't even verified to say that I've actually
Speaker 1: been here since X amount of years to justify this
Speaker 1: me taking over this property. And so there's just a
Speaker 1: lot of this this imbalance that is constantly being played out.
Speaker 1: And then this is just another example now where it's
Speaker 1: it's a provocation. And it just also reminds us of
Speaker 1: how a lot of the BLM protests are happening in
Speaker 1: the summer, which is people come out, they're protesting, the
Speaker 1: police or whatever come out to provoke or whatever to
Speaker 1: create a clash, and then they get violent. They use
Speaker 1: that to justify their violence, and then the news is like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at the violent clashes between police and protests, Like, well,
Speaker 1: what part are you picking up this narrative at Do
Speaker 1: you guys monitor right wing media a little bit closer
Speaker 1: than than I do. You can do it so we
Speaker 1: don't have to thank you, thank you for your service.
Speaker 1: Is in right wing media? Is BLM still like a villain?
Speaker 1: Do they still? Yeah? Absolutely? Yeah yeah. I was kind
Speaker 1: of wondering if that hit, if that had subsided and
Speaker 1: now it's all canceled culture stuff, or if they still
Speaker 1: use they still have that, because I mean, this is
Speaker 1: the language of oppressors, which is you treat people who
Speaker 1: are seeking equality as a terrorist, terrorizing force without acknowledging
Speaker 1: you know where you where you stand in terms of
Speaker 1: the like hegemony of the entire situation, like you're the
Speaker 1: oppressor class. But yet when your people have me asking
Speaker 1: you for equality, it's like, oh my god, what are
Speaker 1: they trying to do? It's like, well, you have to understand.
Speaker 1: If you can't even acknowledge what the situation is, then
Speaker 1: there's no way we can sort of objectively or even
Speaker 1: clearly report this situation or come to any kind of
Speaker 1: forward movement, because on one side you have people think like, well,
Speaker 1: this is what they're gonna do. Violence isn't the way,
Speaker 1: That's not the way you want to get things. I
Speaker 1: retweeted this guy Omar Badar who I thought put it.
Speaker 1: I'm probably buttraying pronunciation. But omar b A d d
Speaker 1: a r at omar b A d d a r
Speaker 1: on Twitter one status quo occupation apartheid is violence against Palestinians.
Speaker 1: And you can like insert you know, black Americans, you
Speaker 1: can insert Colombian citizens to Israel escalates through evictions, beatings, shootings, three,
Speaker 1: then some Palestinians respond with violence. Four, then Israel responds
Speaker 1: with massacre. And then he said, if you start reporting
Speaker 1: at number three, you're misleading your audience. And I think
Speaker 1: that's really how how you can kind of summarize almost
Speaker 1: the entire like news cycle, and how how BLM becomes
Speaker 1: this buzzword that they can point to to scare you know,
Speaker 1: white people who aren't paying attention. Yeah. The the the other
Speaker 1: thing that's I think really telling to is the spokesperson
Speaker 1: Ned Price for the State Department. He had to answer
Speaker 1: questions yesterday about what is the right of Palestinian people
Speaker 1: to defend themselves Because if you're saying like, yeah, they
Speaker 1: you know, civilians are dying, children are dying because of
Speaker 1: these air strikes, Like what level does this idea of
Speaker 1: self defense factor in for Palestinian people are they just like,
Speaker 1: how what's the logic of the United States right now?
Speaker 1: And just listening to this guy twist his brain into knots,
Speaker 1: I think really shows how like how careful the United
Speaker 1: States has to be with how they even talk about things.
Speaker 1: They couldn't just sort of unequivpally be like I would
Speaker 1: believe that they do have a right to self defense
Speaker 1: in this instance, I'll just play this clip because the
Speaker 1: journalists that were there at this briefing, we're really like
Speaker 1: unrelenting and credit to them for asking these questions. Uh,
Speaker 1: we stand by on behalf of this. I think that
Speaker 1: Israeli military response to the rockets coming in, a military
Speaker 1: response to the rockets coming in, is covered by this
Speaker 1: broader rubric of self defense. Right. Self self defense often
Speaker 1: does authorize Thank you, I want to ask you about you, Jason,
Speaker 1: but talk about what you said about the principle of
Speaker 1: self defense. Does that in any way apply to the Palestinians.
Speaker 1: Do they have a right to self defense? The Palestinians
Speaker 1: have a right to self defense. I'm in broadly speaking side, Uh,
Speaker 1: we believe in the concept of self defense. We believe
Speaker 1: it applies to any state I don't think that. I
Speaker 1: So he goes on to say, I believe that goes
Speaker 1: like it extends to any state, and this other reporter
Speaker 1: then responds to say, like, Okay, hold on, I want
Speaker 1: to get you on that, because you said applies to
Speaker 1: any state. You're gonna know as soon as I read
Speaker 1: what your answer was that there's a big problem with it.
Speaker 1: You said, no problem, it just doesn't answer the question.
Speaker 1: We believe that it, meaning the right to self defense
Speaker 1: applies to any state. Well, you see the problem, right, Yes,
Speaker 1: do you want to do you regard Palson as a state?
Speaker 1: I wasn't do do you? But in the context of
Speaker 1: the I C C and the U N So I'm
Speaker 1: saying that you do not if it applies to any state,
Speaker 1: that you saying the Palestinians don't have a right to
Speaker 1: self I was making a broader point, not attached to
Speaker 1: Israel or Palestinians. In that case, you're maaking a broader
Speaker 1: point about states. But then, but it's so broad to
Speaker 1: the situation that you're being asked about. It's a weird
Speaker 1: position to be it. I mean, like, that's why he's
Speaker 1: working for the state of Parmonies. Yeah, but I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like the Biden administration. The statement was all, you know,
Speaker 1: condemning the Palestinians fire rockets, not the air strikes that
Speaker 1: came through and like killed lots of civilians, attacked apart
Speaker 1: and buildings, like blew up apartment buildings just yesterday. But
Speaker 1: like just ABC News is now like for some reason
Speaker 1: above and beyond the most popular uh you know, national
Speaker 1: news broadcasts, which I think means against like three thousand viewers.
Speaker 1: But the way that they edited this was just so
Speaker 1: like the progression was so clear that it was it
Speaker 1: started with the Palestinian rockets. Then it showed like the
Speaker 1: Israeli like victims who actually weren't hurt, which they said
Speaker 1: was amazing. And then they just showed like angry Palestinians
Speaker 1: throwing rocks and like protesting angrily. And then they showed
Speaker 1: like a split second of Israeli police force like shooting
Speaker 1: them with rubber bullets. It's just like, why why do
Speaker 1: you have to Like the order that they cut it
Speaker 1: was clearly meant to show like this is just Israel
Speaker 1: responding to provocations by Palestine. It's like, why would you
Speaker 1: have to do that if you were not like in
Speaker 1: the tank for once again, the purpose of all the is,
Speaker 1: whether it's black people seeking justice in this country or
Speaker 1: Palestinians trying to liberate themselves or at least have some
Speaker 1: some of human rights there, it's the whole point is
Speaker 1: to completely turn them into a group that doesn't know
Speaker 1: what they want, that they're just a problem, and to
Speaker 1: just sort of take away the validity of what they're
Speaker 1: asking for. If you can always take that away, then
Speaker 1: to the person who is not really critically thinking while
Speaker 1: they're watching and be like, oh, Hamas, just come on,
Speaker 1: get over it. Like and that's how it sort of presented,
Speaker 1: much in the same way a Fox viewer would look
Speaker 1: at the Black Lives Matter marches in the way they
Speaker 1: cut things and be like, oh, don't they have enough.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not that bad, And it's just meant
Speaker 1: to completely take the wind out of this. And the
Speaker 1: version you're getting of Israel and Palestine is the Fox
Speaker 1: News version, Like the rest of the world views this
Speaker 1: as like all all the you know, international organizations are like,
Speaker 1: this is a viole sation of the Palestinian people's rights.
Speaker 1: This is like a war crime. You cannot do these
Speaker 1: things that Israel has been doing for years and years
Speaker 1: and years like that. It's a pretty clear cut case
Speaker 1: for all other media, But inside the US, we only
Speaker 1: get the Fox News version of the Black Lives Matter protests,
Speaker 1: only get that take of what's happening over there, because
Speaker 1: they just assume you aren't paying attention, which I think
Speaker 1: for me was certainly the case until I dug into it.
Speaker 1: It is amazing how throughout the course of our lives
Speaker 1: that angry Palestinian footage gets cut into news reports to
Speaker 1: scare us. And uh, yeah, I know, with like no context.
Speaker 1: It's just kind of this like even in like movies,
Speaker 1: I feel like if they're if they're trying to show
Speaker 1: you like the world is being thrown into chaos, they
Speaker 1: will cut to that sort of footage. And yeah, and
Speaker 1: I can totally see how that will be done with
Speaker 1: BLM footage when you just need an example of because
Speaker 1: oh yeah, just show angry black people, don't I don't
Speaker 1: even don't even show don't even don't for a second
Speaker 1: show the audio of what they're saying, because there are
Speaker 1: people saying, don't kill us, this is from or where
Speaker 1: they are for us, who aren't you know, but polyglots
Speaker 1: if I don't speak Arabic or I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: fluent in any of these languages of the people are
Speaker 1: like the activists in Palestine, you would they're What they're
Speaker 1: talking about is we're being kicked out of our homes,
Speaker 1: we're getting bulldozed. Where are my child was shot in
Speaker 1: the head, and I have no recourse? What am I
Speaker 1: supposed to do? Am I? And what are what are
Speaker 1: my rights? If someone is completely violating at what? Am
Speaker 1: I just a subhuman at this point? Because that is
Speaker 1: the same struggle that they're experiencing. But again, if you
Speaker 1: just cut to screaming angry contorted faces, that's and now
Speaker 1: you have some narration over it, Now you can be like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're just being unreasonable, rather than that's real pain. That's
Speaker 1: actually pain. That's a level of human suffering that most
Speaker 1: of us have the privilege of and we'll have the
Speaker 1: privilege of possibly never knowing. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: I think is the really disingenuous thing about the way
Speaker 1: they report that, or way they portray people like that.
Speaker 1: There's a portrayal of angry black men in Forrest Gump
Speaker 1: that I think is under underrated and like kind of
Speaker 1: influential because it's so subtle, but it's like very clearly
Speaker 1: shows like the kind of mainstream perception. So it's like
Speaker 1: the scene where they're meeting with the Black Panthers, are
Speaker 1: there at the Black Panthers like meeting place, and one
Speaker 1: of the Black Panthers is like shouting at Forrest Gump
Speaker 1: and like you don't hear him. It's just like anger, anger, anger, anger, anger,
Speaker 1: like waiting this finger and then Jenny's boyfriend slaps her
Speaker 1: and Forest like runs over to hit him, and the
Speaker 1: guy keeps yelling at the spot on the wall that
Speaker 1: Forrest Gump just was because it's just like his anger
Speaker 1: is like connected to nothing, and he's just like so
Speaker 1: blinded by anger. It's just like very tumaton of anger
Speaker 1: that like can't that isn't trying to communicate anything. His
Speaker 1: message has no content. It's just anger being uh displayed
Speaker 1: for the sake of anger, and it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: I I had to write an episode of After Ours
Speaker 1: for correct about Forrest Gump and like just it's like
Speaker 1: a really subtle thing, but it is like very uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, intentional, intentional for sure, you know, obviously
Speaker 1: that's not the big headline here. But like you know,
Speaker 1: worth saying, Forrest Gump is full of fucking boomer bullshit,
Speaker 1: right right, all right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll come back. And we're back, and let's talk about
Speaker 1: Liz Cheney and how it relates to Forest. U Uh.
Speaker 1: Daddy Dick always said, like shooting your friend in the
Speaker 1: face while you're on a hunt is a box of
Speaker 1: yellow cake that you suddenly found in Iraq. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a little obsessed with Dick Cheney though, you know so
Speaker 1: somehow Liz Cheney, yes, the direct descendant of fucking Darth Vader,
Speaker 1: Dick has become like the character from Congress that's like
Speaker 1: inspiring sympathy from everyone, like oh god, like are we
Speaker 1: mistreating list chain, and like, well, she chose her party
Speaker 1: and she's in a she's in the goon squad and
Speaker 1: they don't give a funk about anything. So, yes, that's
Speaker 1: what's going to happen to you. Because unfortunately, ever since
Speaker 1: she said out loud that Biden had one fahren Square
Speaker 1: get off your fucking stolen election nonsense, and her vote
Speaker 1: to impeach Trump, she's been on the Maga ship list.
Speaker 1: Ever since we talked about how you know, Kevin McCarthy
Speaker 1: has been just been constantly squeezed bullied into siding against
Speaker 1: her now that he finally has like the writings on
Speaker 1: the wall. Um, but it just seems a little bit
Speaker 1: odd because first of all, with Kevin McCarthy, he said
Speaker 1: the exact same thing she did too, except he didn't
Speaker 1: vote for impeachment. But no one's no one's holding his
Speaker 1: feet to the fire because it's probably because he's not
Speaker 1: again a direct descendant of like the old GOP that
Speaker 1: is slowly being like, what the hell are these people doing?
Speaker 1: They're like, we used to be quiet racists, so this
Speaker 1: is now like caused this weird bizarro game of what
Speaker 1: I call what's canceled again because you have there are
Speaker 1: these two takes from people on the right that I
Speaker 1: am really scratching my head over. First, Senator Joni Ernest
Speaker 1: was raising her concerns over like, wh yo, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Why are we ousting Liz Cheney for just speaking her mind?
Speaker 1: She said, quote, I feel it's okay to go ahead
Speaker 1: and express what you feel is right to express. And
Speaker 1: you know, cancel culture is cancel culture, no matter how
Speaker 1: you look at it. Unfortunately, I think there are those
Speaker 1: that are trying to silence others in the party. She added,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be trying to cancel voices. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if that was her attempt to try and tell
Speaker 1: other people in the GOP. She's like, we're no better
Speaker 1: than the lips. Guys, if we're canceling each other, where
Speaker 1: does it end? But I guess it turns out Josh Holly,
Speaker 1: yes that Josh Holly is a lip because he disagrees
Speaker 1: with this definition what Holly said quote, She's still going
Speaker 1: to be a member. It will give her certainly a
Speaker 1: media platform. I don't think it's being canceled in terms
Speaker 1: of she's being silenced. It's a decision for the House
Speaker 1: Caucus who represents them. Okay, So so boy snowflake Josh Hall, Wow,
Speaker 1: it's cancer. What do you mean you can still talk?
Speaker 1: You have a platform? Uh? And I'm just like, what
Speaker 1: is going on right now? There's a real Ken Watton
Speaker 1: abe let them fight appeal right right now? This is
Speaker 1: this is as fun as the movie Alien Versus Predators
Speaker 1: should have been, right Lindsay Gray, Am, I mean just
Speaker 1: he kind of came out and said, what what this
Speaker 1: really about. He said, Liz Cheney has made a determination
Speaker 1: that the Republican Party can't grow with President Trump. I've
Speaker 1: made a determination we can't grow with out without By
Speaker 1: the way, yeah he believes it. I mean, he's I
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know what kind of fucking
Speaker 1: ship they're holding over his head still. I'm like, he's
Speaker 1: out of office, Lindsey, But okay, whatever. I mean, so
Speaker 1: many people have shown themselves to just completely liquefy their
Speaker 1: spines into diarrhea and then just pledge fealty to Trump,
Speaker 1: like on a dime, Like at least Afan Stefanik, who
Speaker 1: they want to replace Liz Cheney. She went from being like,
Speaker 1: you know, Trump's a misogynist and he's soft on pooting
Speaker 1: funk out of here to being like he is the
Speaker 1: rainis linger in our country has ever had fucking lis Cheney.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is a strategic error that
Speaker 1: I'm like kind of glad they're making that. They're just
Speaker 1: really like they're just attaching like Donald Trump owns the party.
Speaker 1: This is somebody who's like, what is he mid late
Speaker 1: seventies now, yeah, he'll be late seventies by the time
Speaker 1: the next election comes around and he's lost two popular votes,
Speaker 1: like at the height of his movement. I just I
Speaker 1: don't know what they're angle is necessarily like it, but
Speaker 1: I like I'm glad that they are are just that
Speaker 1: completely devoid of I mean, maybe they're just like we're
Speaker 1: overleveraged on the like white supremacy things, so we can't
Speaker 1: really like back away. We don't really have a cultural
Speaker 1: place anymore. So like what the fund do you want
Speaker 1: us to do? They're in a coin like you said,
Speaker 1: like we're talking about, they're they're just painting themselves into
Speaker 1: a corner. They can't he can't pivot out of what
Speaker 1: they're doing. I mean unless you become liberal, like become
Speaker 1: like being less of what this is. And I think
Speaker 1: their fears like that's not going to resonate with our base,
Speaker 1: which is already like a weird group of people. And
Speaker 1: if they looked at any of the data, they'd see
Speaker 1: that young voters were really instrumental in defeating Trump. So
Speaker 1: on some level, just off maths, you should be like, well,
Speaker 1: we need to appeal to these people. We lost all
Speaker 1: these people in the suburbs and some independence and young people,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go further into the direction that was
Speaker 1: causing people to flee. Do do you think they are
Speaker 1: savvy enough too to be consciously trying to attract like
Speaker 1: the Reddit dudes or the four Chan dudes, Because I
Speaker 1: mean I think obviously, like you know, any q and
Speaker 1: on doc you've watched shows how instrumental those dudes were
Speaker 1: in in spreading you know, kind of q and on bullshit?
Speaker 1: Do you think that the cancel culture thing? Are they
Speaker 1: trying to like get gamer Gate guys or is that
Speaker 1: Do you think they're so off their radar they gamer Gate?
Speaker 1: That was part of Steve Bannon's whole thing in sen
Speaker 1: was to like with at of that Cambridge Analytics stuff.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh yeah, we gotta we got an in
Speaker 1: road here with these like angry gamer man. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: is that their young contingent? That would be. But I
Speaker 1: think more than anything, I just think this is so
Speaker 1: it's become such a just like a living organism that's
Speaker 1: thrashing to survive. It just doesn't know what's happening anymore.
Speaker 1: And I think given this is the other thing though too,
Speaker 1: they don't really The way they're moving in all the
Speaker 1: States is we don't need to appeal to people because
Speaker 1: we're gonna suppress the funk out of the vote. That
Speaker 1: it does, it's not gonna matter because we're just gonna
Speaker 1: target people who would vote against us and negate their votes.
Speaker 1: That's how we're going to move forward. And it feels
Speaker 1: like this is sort of like a shatter glass in
Speaker 1: case of emergency thing for like white supremacy that they're like, okay, man,
Speaker 1: if I'm sure in the back of your mind you
Speaker 1: see the numbers going down, down, down, down down, You're like,
Speaker 1: all right, what do we do? What's that last move
Speaker 1: with parian As, Like they're just moving towards authoritarianism, Like
Speaker 1: there's no there's no strategic future for them that involves
Speaker 1: demot like actually letting people vote because they keep at
Speaker 1: their height, they were losing the popular vote, Like what
Speaker 1: what do they think is going to happen as the
Speaker 1: voting population continues to get younger? And god, what a
Speaker 1: fucking dumbass strategy. Furthering the voting is fake narrative. It's like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: then you're goopers aren't going to come out and vote
Speaker 1: because they think it's fake. Right. I don't know anyway,
Speaker 1: not I mean, in their fantasy world, votes elections will
Speaker 1: just be pure theater for them to proclaim themselves victor
Speaker 1: Victor's every time because they have a board of elector
Speaker 1: is just locked in every state. That is, like, I
Speaker 1: don't care what they fucking voted. We're saying this person
Speaker 1: won by because that's what they were trying to do
Speaker 1: with the presidential election. Everyone's like, what the fund was that?
Speaker 1: All right, this is all important, But I have to
Speaker 1: talk about Greg Kelly's pants. Uh. I think I think
Speaker 1: it's such a good Like it's such a great metaphor
Speaker 1: for just like where the conservative movement is, like from
Speaker 1: on on the cultural side, like just very like desperate
Speaker 1: to be accepted, trying too hard, like trying to be cool,
Speaker 1: completely blind and deaf to anything approaching coolness. But then
Speaker 1: just like absurdly thin skinned, like so so incredibly thin skinned.
Speaker 1: So he posted this picture, like is he on a
Speaker 1: TV show? He's a pundit, but people think he might be.
Speaker 1: People are giving him like Tucker Carlson vibes of like this.
Speaker 1: He seems like he might have a future in politics
Speaker 1: because he's the only person who seems to be able
Speaker 1: to post like Trump does which is just like off
Speaker 1: the cuff and stupid and right appealing to the conservative bass.
Speaker 1: But he so he posted this picture with Trump where
Speaker 1: he was wearing pants that had like five zippers cargo
Speaker 1: pockets were incredibly tight, fit him, weird and just it
Speaker 1: was like somebody had copy and pasted like a Europeans
Speaker 1: jeans onto him from I allow me to interject it
Speaker 1: is a rip off of the balm On sort of
Speaker 1: biker jeans style. But turned to cargo pants, which screamed
Speaker 1: what the lead singer of smash Mouth would wear if
Speaker 1: he became radicalized, right right right, that's a that's a
Speaker 1: perfect description. But he so, first he it looks so bad.
Speaker 1: It's the bel were pants. Then you have no swag. Sorry,
Speaker 1: try pants just looking at their website. But so he
Speaker 1: first when he posted it, posted osh cosh because he
Speaker 1: wanted to like kind of paper over the fact that
Speaker 1: these were pants. And then people were like, yo, what
Speaker 1: is happening with your pants? My man? And he responded
Speaker 1: everyone busting my crackers over the quote pants busting my crackers,
Speaker 1: fucking Flanders christ crackers. Parentheses partially my fault because I
Speaker 1: called attention to them with the bugle boy. Okay, he said,
Speaker 1: bugle boy, not Oshkosh. That makes more sense. Then he said,
Speaker 1: the truth is their balm on all caps and then
Speaker 1: press the most prestigious Brandon pants and then and then
Speaker 1: m dash, my shoes are by Farragamo. Basically, I'm a
Speaker 1: sharp dressed man, thank you. So just a perfect encapsulation
Speaker 1: of I think like just that type of guy, and
Speaker 1: I mean most American mindsets, to be honest, it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, this is the best thing I can
Speaker 1: Therefore I am good, right, Like, man, your ship looks
Speaker 1: stupid When pozos try and intersect with high fashion, it
Speaker 1: is so embarrassing, Like, yo, come on, sir, you up
Speaker 1: from the waist up you look like a fucking principle
Speaker 1: and then then the waist down like you're the like
Speaker 1: Negos entourage. Right, No, no, anyways, a beautiful thing, but
Speaker 1: we do have to move onto the prego. Heck, so, Miles,
Speaker 1: you have not seen this yet? No, but ag um,
Speaker 1: so this is just I don't know if you've seen
Speaker 1: like some of those videos where someone usually a white lady,
Speaker 1: will be like I have a cooking hack and then
Speaker 1: it's like Phil RIGATONI like raw rigatoni with velvita and
Speaker 1: like put you know, catch up on top and it's
Speaker 1: actually lasagna. That No, so that's a that's a thing
Speaker 1: that happens, is wit and people will disrespect themselves and
Speaker 1: make that a food to eat. No, No, people will
Speaker 1: make fun of them usually, But this one is so
Speaker 1: out there. I can't tell if it's real, Like it
Speaker 1: seems like it's a badly acted bit, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to get your your thoughts
Speaker 1: on this. Okay, allow me to watch while you're While
Speaker 1: you're watching, note the note the reactions of the person
Speaker 1: holding the camera. Is that audio necessary for me to
Speaker 1: take this all into any kind to understand Jordan's point.
Speaker 1: The person who's holding the camera is either doing a
Speaker 1: bad job acting and what is a bit, or is
Speaker 1: like recognizes how fucking stupid this is and it's making
Speaker 1: fun of the person. I like that reading. That's okay.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't think that, Like, yeah, great, oh cool,
Speaker 1: all my friends are coming. This is the easy, nice,
Speaker 1: great counter tup though, to make spaghetti for a crowd
Speaker 1: uncooked prego being poured on a countertop, about dishes or
Speaker 1: right out of the canny. It's on your countertop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's exactly it's a can, that's a jug, that's
Speaker 1: a plastic Yeah, that's the smart and final prego. Right,
Speaker 1: we're going to see it some target products later, so
Speaker 1: it might be a target Oh my gosh, and you've
Speaker 1: done this before. Oh yeah, we do this all the time.
Speaker 1: This is like, holy smokes, Now, this is bullshit, right,
Speaker 1: it's got to be bullshit. A ton of people. Somebody
Speaker 1: who dumping an entire plastic jar of parmesan cheese, parmesan
Speaker 1: cheese breakt pantry, the target brand. I thought it was
Speaker 1: Parmesan cheese brand, Parmesan cheese. It just has if the
Speaker 1: parmesan cheesiest now just putting cooked noodles now, just putting
Speaker 1: cooked noodles on it, putting more noodles on top, just
Speaker 1: resting noodles on top of this pile of sauce, and
Speaker 1: she starts mixing it in and it just looks like
Speaker 1: a murder scene. I'm done, I'm done watching. This is bullshit.
Speaker 1: This is fucking offensive. I mean, that's kind of where
Speaker 1: it ends. So, yeah, that's not that's not how you cook.
Speaker 1: That doesn't even make sense that you have to cook
Speaker 1: everything together to infuse the flavors like you would if
Speaker 1: you're actually making meatballs. You want that cooking in your sauce.
Speaker 1: This is nonsense. I call bullshit because of the terrible
Speaker 1: acting from the person holding the camera to try and
Speaker 1: feign actual. But this is my one hope is that
Speaker 1: they that it is reel and they are. They're terrible
Speaker 1: acting is coming from them, their inability to like put
Speaker 1: up with this ship anymore. From this friend they're like, wow,
Speaker 1: yeah you are. You're going viral, Karen, You're going fire wow.
Speaker 1: Because if you were that, if you're at that point
Speaker 1: in your friendship with somebody like David, like, I'm not
Speaker 1: shooting this fucking stupid thing for you full shooting your
Speaker 1: damn so to get your fucking weak ass husband to
Speaker 1: do this ship. But maybe she was doing it as
Speaker 1: like an intervention, like as a hey, Jack, why are
Speaker 1: you why? Why are you more invested in this being
Speaker 1: a sincere video than it being like encountered fake videos
Speaker 1: on the internet countless times. This just like I think
Speaker 1: I'm more in Jordan's court where it feels like the
Speaker 1: worst like product price just to get eyes on it.
Speaker 1: But I don't know but I think it's also it
Speaker 1: could be fake in that it's like people who are
Speaker 1: just who see the wave of like food sloppy weird
Speaker 1: food hacks and are like, this is how I'm doing
Speaker 1: it now if you can get a million views if
Speaker 1: we just recklessly put a bunch of sauce on our
Speaker 1: because you know there are people now who just dunking
Speaker 1: whole hot dogs in a bucket of catchup and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I love this ship a Stellemak room for a version
Speaker 1: where the that is a friend who has just gone
Speaker 1: completely lost their tether to reality during the pandemic, and
Speaker 1: this is their friend being like, I want to show
Speaker 1: you what you look like when you take a video
Speaker 1: of a friend who has a substance abuse problem and
Speaker 1: you're like, look at you. Yeah, I think and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, like seeing seeing the woman hosting this is
Speaker 1: kind of like important, and she does seem like someone
Speaker 1: who is just desperate to go viral. Like I'm sure
Speaker 1: she's made like a song parody about being a wine mom.
Speaker 1: You know she I think her t shirt says plant
Speaker 1: mom on it. Yeah, um so yeah, she's a plant
Speaker 1: from Target. Oh wow, Oh the clues this is like
Speaker 1: a fucking kuber. Mr Kobayashi. You just didn't realize what
Speaker 1: is Mr Police, You get all the blues. I was
Speaker 1: confessing to my crime in the video. Anyway, Hold on,
Speaker 1: hold the funk up. I need to just do a
Speaker 1: little frame by Oh it's as plant Lady is what
Speaker 1: he meant. It could be a confession. I'm just making
Speaker 1: sure the subconscious is vast. Maybe it was an unintentional
Speaker 1: See there is a Target does have a plant Mom shirt,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, she's just the
Speaker 1: whole thing is just an ad for a trip to Target.
Speaker 1: Plant Lady shirt actually seems to be like when that
Speaker 1: comes from I don't know, at sea or something anyway.
Speaker 1: But but even if she's sponsored by Target and like
Speaker 1: she's just desperate for clicks because she signed that contract
Speaker 1: with Target and get like gets to monetize every single
Speaker 1: view on the video, that's still it's not like it's satire.
Speaker 1: It's like she's like, I'm just gonna do something quirky
Speaker 1: that would be like a fun way to funk with
Speaker 1: stuff in the kitchen. It just it goes against everything
Speaker 1: about cooking. Though you don't encounter combining your a cold
Speaker 1: stone countertop, like cold stone pizzeria, stone pizza, like the
Speaker 1: parmesan's gonna melt, and like even the like I reject
Speaker 1: even the the efficiency of this like mixing strategy that
Speaker 1: has been devised again you know, right, because you have
Speaker 1: no that's such a great point is you will have
Speaker 1: to recount this somehow. You have to hear like, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be so fucking room temp, like, so you
Speaker 1: might as well cook it together if you're going to
Speaker 1: eventually have to put it back on the stove to
Speaker 1: reheat it, right right. The one reason I do think
Speaker 1: it's uh fake is that she said all my friends
Speaker 1: are coming over at the beginning, which is just something
Speaker 1: that you would right as like a set up. All
Speaker 1: my friends are coming over, you say to your friends,
Speaker 1: what do you and it's Monday night football coming over
Speaker 1: to night spaghetti on my kitchen counter like No, but
Speaker 1: this is I think this is what It reminds me
Speaker 1: of the table nacho's hack that I saw on TikTok
Speaker 1: blow up, where they were like, yo, fuck, like putting
Speaker 1: nachos on a plate, cover your fucking table and just
Speaker 1: get all the toppings like on your fucking table and
Speaker 1: then just use your chips to just eat, just scrape them,
Speaker 1: scrape them, scrape them, so you're not trying to dress like,
Speaker 1: you know, fight. You know, you'd rather than doing the
Speaker 1: top soggy layer. And then I got a bunch of
Speaker 1: dry chips on the bottom, eat them off your table.
Speaker 1: That was one that seemed very sincere and an easy
Speaker 1: clean up. Why why is that an easy clean up?
Speaker 1: And why is that any better than this? I think, Well,
Speaker 1: because okay, if we're eating nachos right, you got the
Speaker 1: cheese just right there ready to go, you can you
Speaker 1: can just take your chips and kind of keep building
Speaker 1: your ship rather than the fight that ensues over like
Speaker 1: as Saving Silverman described to us, you know, if they're connected,
Speaker 1: that's one nacho, you know, and then dipping, like having
Speaker 1: a great dip that you use for your nachos, But
Speaker 1: why would you put it direct play on the table? Okay?
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is I think this. I think
Speaker 1: Table Nacho's inspired Sloppy counterprif Spaghetti, Okay, and they're trying
Speaker 1: to ride the Table Nacho's wave because Table Nacho's had
Speaker 1: a wave like that show was on the Today's Show.
Speaker 1: I mean, so I think this is something I don't know. Look,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that this was part of a get
Speaker 1: back to the lighter stuff and talk about sucking the
Speaker 1: Middle East or something. Table not just because Terry gous
Speaker 1: apart really up, man, But I mean, I guess table
Speaker 1: is table nacho is just five layer dip, right, but
Speaker 1: on it? Yeah, but on it but not in a
Speaker 1: containing Wait so okay, so wait you're Jack. You seem
Speaker 1: like you're real. You really can't get over the fact
Speaker 1: that it's on the table. Okay, now tell him? So
Speaker 1: how do you what's the logic here where that is
Speaker 1: like what's going on? But the counter thing, like what
Speaker 1: do you So you're just say table in favor? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm not. I'm not in favor of this prego
Speaker 1: reparation like that. I'm just wondering if there is a
Speaker 1: universe where somebody has completely lost their tether to reality.
Speaker 1: I saw the table nachos video, saw these hack things,
Speaker 1: and is preparing this and showing it off to their
Speaker 1: friend or sister whoever was taking the video, And the
Speaker 1: friend is like, yeah, man, digital short is what your envision? Yeah?
Speaker 1: She's like, my friends are coming over right, They're like,
Speaker 1: what's going on with death. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They're like she didn't even clean up the counter from
Speaker 1: the last time after Brad took the kids. She uh,
Speaker 1: kind of not holding me together the kids. I still
Speaker 1: have my plants, Okay, my plants and counter food. She's
Speaker 1: just eating at the table by herself with like surrounded
Speaker 1: by plants who are in seats and she's like trying
Speaker 1: to feed them. Like, here you go, Fernie, have a
Speaker 1: by the my counter spaghetti. Uh. And finally, uh, speaking
Speaker 1: of heating up, it is the Summer of Flavor. I
Speaker 1: do want to talk really briefly about these three new
Speaker 1: Lays potato chip flavors. We got wavy jerk chicken, we
Speaker 1: got chili mango, Uh, perfectly fine so far. And then
Speaker 1: we got summer blt No no, a lettuce flavor of
Speaker 1: potato chip. Like, what are you gonna do with that lettuce?
Speaker 1: Because I'll be honest, I put this in the dock,
Speaker 1: not because if you know, we've we're sponsored anything, even
Speaker 1: though it had sounds like the most aggressive product placement.
Speaker 1: But I love chips right now and the flavors that
Speaker 1: I've been getting, like the jalapeno ranch ones and ship, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm liking that we're entering all kinds of new fun
Speaker 1: territory with our chips. So when I saw this, is like,
Speaker 1: this is great, but yes, summer b LT, I just
Speaker 1: not sure how you're gonna pay that off Bacon. I
Speaker 1: get you can do some jankie bacon flavor and tomato, Like,
Speaker 1: is it a raw tomato flavor you're trying to replicate?
Speaker 1: Is it just gonna be a ketchup bacon flavored chip?
Speaker 1: Then call it ketchup bacon, called bal what's it called bacon,
Speaker 1: cheeseburger or something? Catchup and bacon and being like, look,
Speaker 1: you fucking creep, come and get it. I mean, ketchup
Speaker 1: is a very popular flavor in places that are in America.
Speaker 1: So I stick to pretty traditional chip flavors when I'm
Speaker 1: chick buying, I think as exotic as I'll get as
Speaker 1: like sour cream and cheddar ruffles. I love sour cream
Speaker 1: and d but these kind of like these kind of limited,
Speaker 1: small batch kind of mimi flavors scare me off as
Speaker 1: someone who has had a lot of them. What what
Speaker 1: do you recommend? Like, K B b Q, What what's
Speaker 1: been your favorite so far? I like Kai sweet chili chips.
Speaker 1: Okay that though having the UK, it's like it's usually
Speaker 1: when I go abroad and it becomes walkers rather than
Speaker 1: lace that you that the flip like the roast chicken
Speaker 1: chips that I've had in Canada. Oh my yeah, some
Speaker 1: good chips. They invented all dressed, which we got exactly
Speaker 1: here not too long ago, and I think all dressed
Speaker 1: fucking rules. It's really good. Yeah, So in that sense, like, yes,
Speaker 1: I I would say those are like my my go
Speaker 1: too is now these Like I love a spice. I
Speaker 1: like anything with a lot of spice. So the jerk
Speaker 1: chicken one does appeal to me, but it's weird when
Speaker 1: you say jerk chicken, so like are you trying to
Speaker 1: pay off the chicken aspect to like are these vegans?
Speaker 1: I don't look, who knows, but this is what they're
Speaker 1: coming with. Chili mango could be good too. Does Oreo
Speaker 1: rule this space? Is Oreo the best at the like
Speaker 1: funky yeah? Limited flavors. They've only had one real misfire
Speaker 1: in terms of flavor, and that one was so weird
Speaker 1: that it's still kind of succeeded with. I can't believe
Speaker 1: it's not butter one. The man, I was, what do
Speaker 1: you do? That's I Oreo has gone so fucking off
Speaker 1: the rails sugar and butter like that, that would be
Speaker 1: I would sugar and yeah, don't hate it like that
Speaker 1: when when my mom was cooking up batch of cookies
Speaker 1: and she was at the just sugar and butter mixed
Speaker 1: together phase, I would get a little licking of the spoon.
Speaker 1: It's a fun spoonful. Yeah, the Swedish fish one was
Speaker 1: kind of a mess, but otherwise I I really funk
Speaker 1: with Oreo special flavors that I love them. What do
Speaker 1: you think it's the best one, Lemon? If we're considering
Speaker 1: that especial, I think lemon is really good. I also
Speaker 1: big mac all of my Oreos. So it's two creams,
Speaker 1: three cookies, so that like is very specific. S'mores was
Speaker 1: really good. What do you do with that loose cookie?
Speaker 1: Just throw it to the kids? They fight for it,
Speaker 1: Lucy's that I keep from the side of my big Well.
Speaker 1: Usedly you have an odd maybe you need an even
Speaker 1: number of them, and then you can just make the
Speaker 1: loose cookie goes into the next big math, right like
Speaker 1: keep shifting it, yeah, or you know, crush it up
Speaker 1: so you have I end up with a bag of
Speaker 1: like twenty Lucy's. But you do. Yeah? I love that. Yeah, y'all,
Speaker 1: this is why we need an inter very strange Jack
Speaker 1: and loose oreole cookies. I told you, Wow, oh great Jack.
Speaker 1: So here's what you do. You know, all my friends
Speaker 1: are coming over and I'm gonna big mac all the orioles.
Speaker 1: You know, all your friends stopped talking to your videos up.
Speaker 1: How many plants do you have now? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but targets. Yeah, throw it to the kids. That's just
Speaker 1: dumping it into appears you have weeds growing through the
Speaker 1: floor of your It looks like one of those like
Speaker 1: taekwondo punching dummies. Just throwing cookies at Okay Jordan's. This
Speaker 1: has been so fun, man, It's such pleasure happening. You
Speaker 1: Where can people find you? Follow you? Here? You all
Speaker 1: that good stuff? Yeah? I am. I am currently flogging
Speaker 1: pre orders for a graphic novel that's coming out in July.
Speaker 1: It is called Bubble. I co wrote it with a
Speaker 1: great comedy writer, Sarah Morgan. A great comics artist. Tony
Speaker 1: Cliff does the art, Natalie Reese does the colors, and
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's like a it's a sci fi comedy, uh,
Speaker 1: with a lot of gore and sex jokes. You know.
Speaker 1: It's a near future where people all live in these
Speaker 1: bubble cities and they have this kind of life and
Speaker 1: death gig economy that they need to participate in to survive.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, it's based on awful How did you
Speaker 1: come up with that? I mean I just fucking rooms
Speaker 1: were on, dude, and I came up with that, whoa
Speaker 1: bub We're in our own buck? That sounds really dopeful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: imus the graphic novel treatment of that dispia that yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's it's actually based on a scripted podcast
Speaker 1: I did a couple of years ago, and a lot
Speaker 1: of the stuff came true. So it's one of those
Speaker 1: kind of bubble predicted it kinds of things. Uh fortunately
Speaker 1: or unfortunately. But you know, I'm a big comics guy,
Speaker 1: so it's just like a dream to get to do it.
Speaker 1: And if you know Tony the guy who did the art,

Speaker 1: it's reaching out to its family on the other side
Speaker 1: of the pit, you know, So it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: a mammoth stuck and then there's another grown mammoth and
Speaker 1: a baby, and the baby is reaching out to I
Speaker 1: think what we're supposed to, you know, kind of assume
Speaker 1: is its parents in the tar. Very grim, very like,

Speaker 1: been hyper normalized to such an extent that they don't
Speaker 1: see the blood dripping hard in the land. Off has
Speaker 1: been around capitalism? Has you fucked up? And let's see
Speaker 1: going on? This is from Mary Kobayashi at Mary co
Speaker 1: co k O c O. She tweets that'd be funny
Speaker 1: if when the beasts gave bell her library, she was like,

Speaker 1: like that. Pronouncing like that is great. And then finally
Speaker 1: at Sleepy Socialists tweeted, it's funny that businesses are begging

Speaker 1: her grandma. Hey, Amy, I was laying in bed thinking
Speaker 1: about last night and how much fun I had. Then
Speaker 1: I thought about your new jacket. I did like it,
Speaker 1: but Mom could be right that a longer length might
Speaker 1: be a better choice. Please don't be mad at me
Speaker 1: for changing my mind, but sometimes I don't make the
Speaker 1: best quick decisions and need to think a little longer.
Speaker 1: I love you so much and wanted to share my
Speaker 1: best thoughts with you. Have a good week. I'll be
