Speaker 1: but anybody just want to say that, Yeah, these people,
Speaker 1: it's all, it's all of a piece with what we've
Speaker 1: learned over the past decade, with the stock market just
Speaker 1: not responding at all, the people losing their jobs. They're
Speaker 1: just like, oh, you guys, don't we can do this
Speaker 1: without y'all. Yeah, we can do this. We're fine. Have
Speaker 1: you not read Atlas Shruggs because it's the only book
Speaker 1: that we've read. I do. I feel like people who
Speaker 1: are real big Iron Rand fans have never read anything else,
Speaker 1: and yeah, don't need to man, Like, what else could
Speaker 1: what else could I possibly learn? Also? Uh, I thought
Speaker 1: you were going to go with the A K. That
Speaker 1: was what you were known as for many years of
Speaker 1: your life, Miles, Rocky Gray. Look, this is our guest today,
Speaker 1: I think, and I spoke about this. My love of
Speaker 1: Dwayne the Rock Johnson, you know, Blazian adjacent and Blazian
Speaker 1: representation was always big. So I had Tiger Woods and
Speaker 1: the Rock very early on. And I found my old
Speaker 1: eighth grade diploma where my middle I replaced my literal
Speaker 1: middle name with Rocky in quotations like I was some
Speaker 1: kind of fucking rapper or some ship anyway, the future
Speaker 1: president that rules, well, the aforementioned guests today is the brilliant,
Speaker 1: the hilarious, the talented. Molly Lamber up, Yeah, we're all here, Miles.
Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Did anyone actually call
Speaker 1: you Rocky? Nope? Nope, that was just for me. Were
Speaker 1: you trying to get were you trying to make Nope?
Speaker 1: I just felt that was that was my place to
Speaker 1: do it, somewhere that was on paper. So that was
Speaker 1: the most committed Do you ever weard of the nickname
Speaker 1: was on your diploma? Uh? That and like doing the eyebrow.
Speaker 1: You know, people are like, there's something wrong with Miles's face,
Speaker 1: you have a twitch or something got frozen like that.
Speaker 1: Not really, just it was about that I would wear um,
Speaker 1: I would wear a definitely a wrist band on my elbow,
Speaker 1: like a sweatband on my elbow. That was half you know,
Speaker 1: because I was kind of baller. Style of the late
Speaker 1: nineties early odds was wrist bands and ship. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: like noven before that, you know, we had the wrist
Speaker 1: these or whatever, but I would have that on. That
Speaker 1: was also a shout out to the people's elbow, So,
Speaker 1: you know, freake things. Yeah, subtle subtle illusions. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: not subtle at all. I walked around thinking I was
Speaker 1: this asshole on everybody Jabroni is hell yeah, yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 1: Or I just started say it doesn't matter what your
Speaker 1: name is, doesn't matter. Yeah, remix with wycliff y'all, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Who asking people questions and then before
Speaker 1: they can answer, it doesn't matter, like, sorry, man, you
Speaker 1: asked jabronies though it's true. Yeah, and the culture has
Speaker 1: lost sight of that. I think in general like that, Well,
Speaker 1: there are people who are undeniably and unrepentant, unreformed one
Speaker 1: or yeah, just fucking total jabron skis. And I think
Speaker 1: because we have no shame, we need to bring the
Speaker 1: Jabroni back, because there's nothing you can call. You can't
Speaker 1: even call racist. People were getting to that point with
Speaker 1: racist where they're like and fuck yep, see okay, so
Speaker 1: there's no shame out here. So I wonder maybe we
Speaker 1: need Jabroni confuse the hell out of that. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: jab bron let's get let's let's get go in here.
Speaker 1: Come on, buddy, Jabron James. All Right, Molly, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Speaker 1: But first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of
Speaker 1: things we're talking about today. I think we're just going
Speaker 1: to devote the whole episode to uh that whatever the
Speaker 1: soccer thing Myles was talking about was, we'll dig into
Speaker 1: people have I'll help you understand because it's Le's it's
Speaker 1: really it's a it's it's going to upset the global
Speaker 1: balance like the Iraq War did, but with much higher steaks,
Speaker 1: much higher steaks. No, but it's it's some it's really cataclysmic. Alright,
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the six mass shootings over the
Speaker 1: weekend and just where we're at with gun reform. Uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about how the Derek Cholvin coverage is
Speaker 1: panning out, how people are anticipating the jury decision. I
Speaker 1: think is the word that other people use, but I
Speaker 1: try to talking about post verdict world. I'm in a
Speaker 1: post verdict world. We're gonna talk about what's happening in Florida.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that soccer thing. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the Roe v. Wade movie, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Molly, we like to ask our guest, what
Speaker 1: is something from your search history that's revealing about who
Speaker 1: you are, what you're up to? A. Yeah, I I
Speaker 1: was looking up see pair because Anna and I we
Speaker 1: do a show called Deck Hats Chief Stews on Tuesday Night.
Speaker 1: Santa hasnia fellows like gang Affiliate, and we're talking about
Speaker 1: like pair soda, and because we drink weird things on
Speaker 1: the show because it's on Twitch, we like to drink
Speaker 1: weird things out of Martini glasses. And I bought a
Speaker 1: para soda at a Armenian market. But I sent her
Speaker 1: a picture of something else that was like a sea
Speaker 1: buckthorn drink and she was like, is that hair? What
Speaker 1: are those words? Sea buckthorn? Yeah? Yeah, So then I
Speaker 1: was like, sea buckthorn is a plant. It's like underwater berries,
Speaker 1: and people drink it. People make a juice out of
Speaker 1: it and drink it. So yeah, sometimes I was I
Speaker 1: was looking up a lot of like weird juice. Why
Speaker 1: can't I imagine anything being like sweet that comes from
Speaker 1: the ocean? I think, I guess because everything's just so salty.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it is sweet. I think it's
Speaker 1: like weird and tangy, and it's more about the supposed
Speaker 1: health benefits. I had never heard of it as a plant,
Speaker 1: but apparently it's like the number one health drink in
Speaker 1: like Russia and Ukraine. Oh awesome. I feel like we
Speaker 1: gotta there's gotta be like some piece of good news
Speaker 1: where they like discover, oh ship, this is this thing
Speaker 1: that lives in the Mariana Trench is the like most
Speaker 1: healthy plane. It's supposed to be good for heart health allegedly,
Speaker 1: but it's one of those things where it's like there's
Speaker 1: no real proof, you know, but maybe yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I feel good, so yeah, am I just gonna draw
Speaker 1: that connection? It is No. I do feel like it's
Speaker 1: like whenever they find a plant in the rainforest and
Speaker 1: it's like it cures some very specific disease, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're like, why would that be true? Why would
Speaker 1: there be a plant that just has something in it
Speaker 1: that's like good for that disease. Nature is amazing. Yeah, Molly,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Well? I am
Speaker 1: a member of a group called no Olympics l A
Speaker 1: we're trying to get the Los Angeles Games can sold
Speaker 1: because it's a really bad idea and it'll bring in
Speaker 1: like three times as many cops, partner with ice everything that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to say the Olympics in general
Speaker 1: super overrated. Would you believe they're doing the Olympics now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know why nobody wants it. That's the thing is,
Speaker 1: Lympics are supposed to be in Tokyo. They obviously didn't
Speaker 1: happen because of coronavirus. They postponed it a year because basically,
Speaker 1: when you sign up to have your city have the Olympics,
Speaker 1: you're just on the hook for whatever amount of money spent.
Speaker 1: The dollars over budget it is now, so they really
Speaker 1: are insisting on doing it, but like nobody in Japan
Speaker 1: wants it. There's been polling and like people plus they're like,
Speaker 1: we don't want this right now because um coronavirus is
Speaker 1: totally back in Japan. There how been like a fourth wave.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of the rest of the world, they
Speaker 1: are not done with coronavirus because America, who hoarded all
Speaker 1: the vaccines. Yeah, and we're just like we'll hold on,
Speaker 1: let's just make sure all of the other ones suck
Speaker 1: bad enough, and then we'll give you some of them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So they're doing the torch race right now, the torch relay,
Speaker 1: which are yeah, it started already, which we we hate
Speaker 1: the torch relay for many reasons, including that it was
Speaker 1: invented by the Nazis for n six Olympics. But they're
Speaker 1: doing it now and it keeps how you know, they
Speaker 1: might have to like cancel stopped because coronavirus is not
Speaker 1: because Hitler like started it. No, No, they don't like
Speaker 1: about well, hold on, how we thought it? Do you
Speaker 1: remember who started this one? Do you think there's anything
Speaker 1: fascist about a giant torch being carried between cross countrees
Speaker 1: across the land. So yeah, is it that it starts
Speaker 1: in Greece and then ends up Yeah? Would you believe
Speaker 1: it's because they wanted to show the legacy of like
Speaker 1: Western history from Greece to Germany in but it's still
Speaker 1: creepy now. And yeah, they are also preparing to dump
Speaker 1: a bunch of nuclear radioactive water in Fukushima because this
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the quote unquote recovery games, because
Speaker 1: it's ten years after the earthquake and nuclear disaster. Would
Speaker 1: you believe the area hasn't recovered and that doing a
Speaker 1: big tourist event there won't help. Yeah, it's going to
Speaker 1: Also turns out nobody really cares about the Olympics. People
Speaker 1: didn't really notice they weren't happening, and now they are happening.
Speaker 1: Nobody really noticed. Just make him in one spot, Just
Speaker 1: fucking do that. If you want to make it village
Speaker 1: that is specifically in one place in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 1: It's got to be it's got to be worker owned
Speaker 1: though too. It's gotta be athlete owned. It can't be
Speaker 1: the International Olympic Committee because they are a bunch of
Speaker 1: war criminals. Kind okay, okay, how about this? What about Visa? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be sick, that's true, because you can't even
Speaker 1: put a face to it. It's like Visa, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, how how bad cold they be? Hey,
Speaker 1: that's what we say about every company. And then you know,
Speaker 1: you know, the torch relay is like a chance for
Speaker 1: local advertisers to like get in on whatever the grift
Speaker 1: is Tokyo. Yeah, it's siphon money from local people. Like
Speaker 1: you don't even they always say like, oh, we're gonna
Speaker 1: help the locals, and then they don't do that. It's
Speaker 1: all like super corporate at the top level. So there's
Speaker 1: at least two photo shoots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, photo shoots,
Speaker 1: and then they like, stay, I'm putting this shovel on
Speaker 1: this ground, in the ground with this ribbon on it
Speaker 1: fucked off forever and you can see there's like there's
Speaker 1: like Olympics photos in l a up at restaurants and
Speaker 1: stuff sometimes. Uh, but there's also a lot of people
Speaker 1: who when you do I like, I like that the
Speaker 1: Olympic torch is like the on cultural plateau with the
Speaker 1: giant scissors cutting a big opening of a building and
Speaker 1: like a person digging breaking ground. Things that literally nobody
Speaker 1: except for like a handful of corporate executives give a
Speaker 1: shit about. But and then you use that as part
Speaker 1: of an annual report on philanthropy and you can patch
Speaker 1: yourself on your big shoulder pads. Yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: all that's it's all a grift. It's all a big
Speaker 1: old grift and Tokyo tokyo. Also at the same time,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's the like, in terms of entertainment,
Speaker 1: watching the torch run by through your town is the
Speaker 1: equivalent of like going down to the docks and waving
Speaker 1: goodbye to a boat. That is, oh, you can't even
Speaker 1: do it. They sell the ticket. The tickets are all
Speaker 1: like given out to rich people way before. There's no
Speaker 1: like no regular people payment value. Does anybody actually go
Speaker 1: because you spent thousand dollars on your visa? And no,
Speaker 1: it's literally they're like, oh, you know, locals can come
Speaker 1: watch a tortula And then it is always just like
Speaker 1: rich people who paid a lot to be there get
Speaker 1: to comment sit there. It goes. Yeah, I mean more
Speaker 1: fast motion like it's a nineteen hundreds like newsreel l
Speaker 1: A eighty four. It was run in by O. J. Hey,
Speaker 1: and what could be more emblematic. Yeah, damn right, And
Speaker 1: I think they should have it run in by him
Speaker 1: again and completely agree when it's yeah, but we're not
Speaker 1: going to let it happen because we're out in these streets. Yes,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Underrated? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go wombaths? Oh billion to wombats. They're cute and funny
Speaker 1: and their poop is a square that is truly one
Speaker 1: of the most amazing things. Oh right, I remember that
Speaker 1: in Creature feature, yeah, or maybe comes up all the
Speaker 1: time when you go on Creature Feature. But I remember
Speaker 1: being a poop shaped episode and that I was like,
Speaker 1: I was about to be like, are they this cube poopers? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And the only ones of any animal and they're just
Speaker 1: kind of cute little chokas recommended. What is? What are there?
Speaker 1: Where are they like to see? Tanzania, Tanzania, Tasmania, Tasmania,
Speaker 1: Real Island. Alright, mate, we're on a wait and they are?
Speaker 1: Are they? They poop little charcoal bricks? Sorry, not Tanzania, Tasmania.
Speaker 1: Please edit me out saying Tanzania because I corrected you
Speaker 1: and I get to feel superior. It's in there forever,
Speaker 1: justin don't cancel identified canceled target, identified canceled target identified.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I mean I mix up the countries
Speaker 1: that wombats are from. No A good. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll cut that out because I think it's the quicker
Speaker 1: we can go into my offensive Australian accent. Also, Ze
Speaker 1: Gang loves it. When we discussed poop up top and
Speaker 1: I do just have to circle back and mentioned that
Speaker 1: it's not perfect cubes. They do look like charcoal bricks.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, or brownies, but yeah, it wasn't there
Speaker 1: like a reesist chocolate infection that was little like that.
Speaker 1: That was almost like a s'mor zy type. Anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to well, it's ruined now, it shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1: Look just as delightful to me either way in either context.
Speaker 1: How big can they get? They kind of look they're big.
Speaker 1: They're big. They're bigger than you think. Yeah, looking at
Speaker 1: this one phone, I'm like old. And they build these
Speaker 1: huge burrows. They're basically like groundhogs, but like giant, So
Speaker 1: they have these big old burrows. And there was a
Speaker 1: cool story about how during some wildfires a bunch of
Speaker 1: other animals were able to hide out in their burrows, right,
Speaker 1: Like the news made it seem like the want bats
Speaker 1: were like, oh, come into me burrow. Yeah mate, But
Speaker 1: it's just that their burrows are so big that there's
Speaker 1: like enough room for some other animals to hide out
Speaker 1: in there during the fires and uh survived. They were
Speaker 1: actually really terrible to the other animals that they're like
Speaker 1: seeking refuge, like get the funk out, mate ship. They also, um,
Speaker 1: they like kick like donkeys, so when they want to
Speaker 1: like they'll like run when someone's chasing them, they'll run
Speaker 1: them up to their burrow and then they'll like put
Speaker 1: their face in the burrow and just go like bonk.
Speaker 1: And they have a plate in their ass that they
Speaker 1: can just use to go like a show that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I figured they must have some really like eggro defense feature,
Speaker 1: because spherical poop is the least surface area, So that's
Speaker 1: like an animal being like, please don't find me, and
Speaker 1: then cubicle poop is like come get here, get out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like come fine, the big square my plated ass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: see what happens. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back with some news and we're back.
Speaker 1: And the mass shootings continued through the weekend apace. There
Speaker 1: were shootings in Nebraska, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Just over over the weekend. Holy fuck. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When you say them all back to back like that,
Speaker 1: it is insane, Like, oh, America reopened, and that's how
Speaker 1: they reopened. That's over the weekend since Indianapolis, then forty
Speaker 1: seven since Atlanta. Yeah, and that's bye. That's the metric
Speaker 1: of four people being injured or killed, not including the shooter.
Speaker 1: So if you went to three, I can only imagine
Speaker 1: how many more that would be as uh, sort of
Speaker 1: staggering as this is, like, which is the year that
Speaker 1: keeps getting referred to And we've talked about this before,
Speaker 1: but it bears repeating because this story has become the
Speaker 1: way to talk about gun violence. Is like, the number
Speaker 1: of mass shootings was as bad. It was the worst
Speaker 1: year in American history for shootings or at least the
Speaker 1: worst year in like decades for people. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just the mass shootings went away because there weren't crowds
Speaker 1: of people, but you know, low profile shooting zak shootings
Speaker 1: affecting communities of color were up wildly. And doesn't just
Speaker 1: cover worse every year. It doesn't. It's kind of sporadic,
Speaker 1: but it seems like and there we have seen cases
Speaker 1: where it went down by a lot when there were
Speaker 1: like those assault rifle bands, or at least mass shootings
Speaker 1: went down by a lot. But it's just weird because
Speaker 1: there's like these different things. We talked about mass shootings,
Speaker 1: and that's the type of gun violence that kind of
Speaker 1: captures the attention, so that gets covered as if it
Speaker 1: is gun violence. But then there's all this other gun
Speaker 1: violence that's happening that the media just completely ignores. And
Speaker 1: either either direction that you want to take that information,
Speaker 1: it means that the gun violence problem is just so
Speaker 1: so much worse than we are willing to admit, like
Speaker 1: in the in the mainstream, plus the old the old police. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: that's not even counting them. Yeah, they've shot and killed
Speaker 1: a thousand people, are almost a thousand people in and
Speaker 1: there's usually more gun deaths by suicide every year. I
Speaker 1: don't know like that. I keep coming back to the
Speaker 1: idea that guns need to be treated like a public
Speaker 1: health crisis. Like there. The argument and pushback always here
Speaker 1: is that well they're like everywhere nobody, like you're not
Speaker 1: going to get people to stop using guns or like
Speaker 1: having guns everywhere. Like but with smoking, like generations ago,
Speaker 1: it seemed like, well everybody smokes, and you're not gonna
Speaker 1: get people to stop smoking. But it's you know, we
Speaker 1: we've had success just by putting legislations and like rules
Speaker 1: and laws in places. You know, we need legis lation,
Speaker 1: you know, we need like politicians that do things because
Speaker 1: the filibuster in place still Yeah, and even though, like
Speaker 1: there's clearly not a fucking third rail issue to talk
Speaker 1: about gun control right now based on how many people
Speaker 1: are like what the funk is this? Like what's going on?
Speaker 1: We just still have this pack of jokers who were
Speaker 1: just like wanting to like the concern is be like
Speaker 1: overplaying their hand in terms of introducing legislation that would
Speaker 1: keep us safe. He's always like the mid terms, what
Speaker 1: about the mid terms if we try to ban guns,
Speaker 1: and what about people die? Fuck your mid terms? Talking
Speaker 1: about also when you said we got to treat it
Speaker 1: like a public health crisis, I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 1: that we're good at that either, right, Like yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean just more in the context when in context, like
Speaker 1: when you think about smoking, like that was something that
Speaker 1: we were at a part at a point where the
Speaker 1: you know, people we're just allowing themselves to be allied to,
Speaker 1: Like we're we're at that point before when like cigarette
Speaker 1: companies were like, well, tobacco doesn't lead to cancer, and
Speaker 1: politicians were just like, well they said so, so we're
Speaker 1: not gonna right, And it's like decades and decades ago,
Speaker 1: and I think we have like a long time to
Speaker 1: go to It is also the lobbyists and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if something makes money in America, it's really hard to
Speaker 1: get people to stop doing it. There's a whole industry
Speaker 1: to being like, oh no, we're we're all for keeping
Speaker 1: this pigot open. In fact, turning it wider. Son doesn't
Speaker 1: make money, but there's the potential for it to make money.
Speaker 1: It's never to close that off. And if you are,
Speaker 1: then you're an activist. Usually on the other side, open
Speaker 1: fucking all the fucking weight. No, don't stop, no matter what.
Speaker 1: And yet this is what we're looking at they've somehow convinced.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not even that the lobbyists are convincing politicians,
Speaker 1: because this the sort of psychology of the politicians we
Speaker 1: have is just he's like lay mass, the celebrity pychology
Speaker 1: of Americans, like we saw with the public health crisis too.
Speaker 1: It's like people are like, my personal freedoms are the
Speaker 1: most important thing, and me being able to do whatever
Speaker 1: I want all the time, it's all I care about.
Speaker 1: What a really bumber for twenty this is so far. Look, man,
Speaker 1: you know it's like that way. Look, you can't say
Speaker 1: you put you buried your head in the sand is
Speaker 1: for you right man, there's no escapism, that's right. Bro.
Speaker 1: Oh I hope you're not moving we to escape, man,
Speaker 1: I hope you're doing it to make everything more vivid.
Speaker 1: That's how are was that your rock voice coming in
Speaker 1: a little bit? I don't know what do you mean,
Speaker 1: like the rock Johnson? Yeah, yeah, no, I've it's been
Speaker 1: years since, been years since I've I've attempted, Dwayne, come on, man,
Speaker 1: give it to us one time, um millions and millions
Speaker 1: that is more. I couldn't even do it into the
Speaker 1: microphone yet. The power would have been too much for
Speaker 1: the listeners. You got to get that eyebrow up, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and take you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: take in that aause like a fat line of cocaine,
Speaker 1: like not what he's smelling. Yeah, alright. Uh. I did
Speaker 1: want to talk about how the impending verdict to some
Speaker 1: people call it, in the Choven trial is being covered
Speaker 1: by the mainstream media. It's like you're you're seeing a
Speaker 1: lot about like Minnesota on edge with like photographs of
Speaker 1: police in like riot gear and like batting down the
Speaker 1: hatches and like it's I don't know, it feels like
Speaker 1: a weird like way to cover a case where the
Speaker 1: the question is about whether somebody did something that we
Speaker 1: all saw them do on camera and like that they
Speaker 1: just like kind of leave that out. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's because there, like the media is not supposed
Speaker 1: to influence like a jury or something, but it just
Speaker 1: feels like the possibility that they let someone who committed
Speaker 1: murder on camera like get away with it, and the
Speaker 1: fact that he's guilty on camera of murdering someone has
Speaker 1: sort of left unspoken. They're just focusing on the possibility
Speaker 1: of like what happens if he's acquitted and or there's
Speaker 1: a hung jury, which like seems like you're kind of
Speaker 1: covering a story assuming one of the major elements of
Speaker 1: the story decides to stop cohering to any logic, which
Speaker 1: I guess is history. Like so, one way that The
Speaker 1: New York Times covered it almost like a five thirty
Speaker 1: eight thing where they did like a an analysis of
Speaker 1: priors in all the different ways that the judicial system
Speaker 1: has fucked up very similar cases of people obviously murdering
Speaker 1: people of color on camera, um, and but and they
Speaker 1: were like, here's one way it could go, here's another.
Speaker 1: This is why we think, like the fact that they
Speaker 1: had a police witness, is like important, but um, I
Speaker 1: don't know. They don't they don't follow it up with
Speaker 1: a discussion of like how clearly broken and white supremacist
Speaker 1: the system is. And some of the accounts, some of
Speaker 1: the cases that they described are just like beyond infuriated.
Speaker 1: And I know this is like the journalistic like, well,
Speaker 1: we don't say we just say God to see both sides,
Speaker 1: and there are not two sides to this. They did it.
Speaker 1: It's on video. If people are denying that it happened,
Speaker 1: it's because they're so invested in white supremacy and police
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, it's like a propaganda. They'll just
Speaker 1: be like, yep, I didn't see it. Yeah, that's just
Speaker 1: because he's he's just trying to get control of the suspect.
Speaker 1: That's what happens. So we shouldn't, you know, just interact
Speaker 1: with cops or whatever, because I'm so cop brained. And
Speaker 1: the whole gamification of it is because they don't see
Speaker 1: black life as human life. That's the only reason you
Speaker 1: can be like, no team has come back from three
Speaker 1: games down in a series, it must have done something
Speaker 1: to warrant did happening. So therefore breaking the law to
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of somebody. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: all is the Rodney King trial to say, like, yes, that,
Speaker 1: I think that needs to be underlying more that we're
Speaker 1: there's a pattern here, not like never ever has a
Speaker 1: white cop been convicted that. That's I think it's fair
Speaker 1: analysis as a journalist, even if you're playing both sides,
Speaker 1: to observe that and say this is a very rare
Speaker 1: occurrence in the unity it states because of this, if
Speaker 1: they did convict some of the racist cops occasionally, they'd
Speaker 1: be able to be like, look, people get punished when
Speaker 1: they break the law, even police officers, but they won't
Speaker 1: even do that. It's like, no, if you're in the police,
Speaker 1: you can just do whatever you want and there's no punishment.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, there's no consequences. So of course that doesn't
Speaker 1: motivate people to stop, Yeah, making the law. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's again, that's how the media functions to protect white
Speaker 1: supremacy because it has a hand in removing the terminology
Speaker 1: from the discourse by saying a city on edge, the
Speaker 1: State of Lakes feel filled with the tears of Minnesotans
Speaker 1: on edge, like it's fucking bullshit because you're turning you're
Speaker 1: just turning it into like you're just like you're trying
Speaker 1: to explain something complex to a child, and you're not
Speaker 1: giving them the full picture of being like, oh what
Speaker 1: about what about property? Whatever? Property getting vandalized? You know
Speaker 1: what could be worse than that? Um, I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe killing somebody who is innocent and uh mind in
Speaker 1: their business because you're a racist. No no, no, okay,
Speaker 1: so now we're in opinion territory because yeah, go over
Speaker 1: to the opinion. I mean, yeah, it's not like this
Speaker 1: feels like a like the entire like old school journalistic
Speaker 1: apparatus like has this thing where it like separates the
Speaker 1: stuff out, but it just leaves this surreal experience of
Speaker 1: reading a story where the most important factor is just
Speaker 1: left unspoken. Like if you just read this story about
Speaker 1: all these police getting off, it's like you would just
Speaker 1: be like, wait, wait, what why is why is this happening?
Speaker 1: They keep murdering people in this story and then getting
Speaker 1: let off, and you're saying that that might happen again,
Speaker 1: but like it's never addressed. It's just kind of like
Speaker 1: I guess implied, But that just feels insufficient to the
Speaker 1: moment to then crush you. So you're like, it's to
Speaker 1: be like just give up, right, let's let the state
Speaker 1: role us. Yeah. Well, speaking of things that remain legal
Speaker 1: and things that will be made illegal, Florida is moving
Speaker 1: forward with its Combating Violence, Disorder and Looting and Law
Speaker 1: Enforcement Protection Act. Mm hmm yep. They're they're you know,
Speaker 1: bakes making it illegal to exercise your First Amendment rights
Speaker 1: by essentially saying like, um, let's protect the police. So
Speaker 1: that way anyone else that doesn't like it when poor
Speaker 1: people and allies get together to voice their displeasure, they
Speaker 1: can just do whatever the funk they want and make
Speaker 1: it mad illegal. Uh. And yeah, this, this will just
Speaker 1: be great. This is how we come back any kind
Speaker 1: in the progress. So the things that it's doing is
Speaker 1: essentially just makes it makes it a third degree felony
Speaker 1: when seven or more persons are involved in an assembly
Speaker 1: and cause damage to property or injury to other persons.
Speaker 1: That's just how the funk are you supposed to know
Speaker 1: anything about how a demonstration can go or bad faith
Speaker 1: people who are just doing on their own ship whatever
Speaker 1: it is. There's no way to know and to say Okay,
Speaker 1: now we're gonna put give all these all these people
Speaker 1: with felonies. On top of that, I think one of
Speaker 1: the things that's been pointed out for the most is
Speaker 1: about that essentially makes it legal to drive through people
Speaker 1: or a crowd if you feel like you're fleeing for
Speaker 1: your own safety from a mob, making the driver not
Speaker 1: liable for any injury or death. Like it's the end on.
Speaker 1: And also you can hit people with rico charges if
Speaker 1: you organize or fund an assembly that goes disorderly or whatever.
Speaker 1: They're essentially saying, hey, we're here to completely dead this ship.
Speaker 1: So no matter what you have, the threat of a
Speaker 1: felony will take your fucking benefits from you and your
Speaker 1: kids because you went to a protest. Those are the
Speaker 1: threats now hanging over people. Kind of seems like we
Speaker 1: live in a failed state. Yeah because now, yeah, because well,
Speaker 1: I mean I think the second you're saying, pointing out
Speaker 1: that things are bad is illegal. Oh oh that's what
Speaker 1: this ship they said. If you want to come out
Speaker 1: and say we don't like this ship, it's on. I mean, also,
Speaker 1: like given how demonstrations go, when they say if it
Speaker 1: gets violent or disorderly, it's usually the police actually always
Speaker 1: the police that instigate kettle and do whatever the funk
Speaker 1: they gotta do to start turning shipped up to justify
Speaker 1: whatever their own escalation is. So this is like it's
Speaker 1: a they've just created a feedback loop to be like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: this is if they're out there and y'all are out there,
Speaker 1: it's sucking on and they're all getting felonies, and it's
Speaker 1: just whatever happens, fucking happens because we've completely changed the law,
Speaker 1: and to take it to this point too, because it
Speaker 1: is a failed state, it is also it's just like
Speaker 1: the last step in trying to preserve this myth that
Speaker 1: is central to policing, which is that investment in armed
Speaker 1: protectors is going to create the kind of safety that
Speaker 1: people desire or need, rather than giving everyone the peace
Speaker 1: of mind of being materially supported and taking away the
Speaker 1: chaos of lack of needing of not being supported. That
Speaker 1: that is how you're going to create safety. Not we
Speaker 1: need more fucking coons, man, that's the problem. Ship's gone
Speaker 1: out of control. It's gone. It's not gone out of control.
Speaker 1: Y'all have fucked up so bad. You've failed all these
Speaker 1: people and you act why everybody is so upset because
Speaker 1: they don't have anything. So again, solving problems in America
Speaker 1: by just creating new ones and becoming a never ending
Speaker 1: revenue stream that gets just menial results. So is this
Speaker 1: like what, so is this gonna be enacted into law
Speaker 1: like immediately or how how does that work? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it will eventually succeed. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he it's gonna be sent to his
Speaker 1: desk to be signed, so it will be signed into law.
Speaker 1: I mean it's people like there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of lawsuits and ship. But yeah, it's that, you know,
Speaker 1: they control the Republicans control the Florida Senate and House,
Speaker 1: so boom boom one after the other. So I mean
Speaker 1: it's again that there seems to be this overall structure
Speaker 1: where the police are so petty and so fragile and
Speaker 1: if like somebody says something mean to them, they get
Speaker 1: to like start shooting at them with shooting projectiles at
Speaker 1: them that can crack their skull and ship. And like
Speaker 1: when you look at the number of police that shot
Speaker 1: and killed people, it was like close to a thousand.
Speaker 1: We look at the number of police that were shot
Speaker 1: and killed. There was like I found this on like
Speaker 1: a police news site and it was like forty five unacceptable.
Speaker 1: This is like ridiculous, like and it's just there's this
Speaker 1: imbalance of like how they want things to be viewed
Speaker 1: that like all racists, they have a victim complex where
Speaker 1: they're like, I'm the real victim in this situation. People
Speaker 1: calling me a racist is worse than me being one.
Speaker 1: And also the Democrats aren't doing shipped to stand up
Speaker 1: to the police either. That's the problem. Also there's no
Speaker 1: opposition party. The ones that are even like to the
Speaker 1: left of Democrats, they just get shushed out and they're
Speaker 1: just like, no, don't say that, Yeah we can't. We
Speaker 1: don't like that. Yeah, because policing is also just intertwined
Speaker 1: with the history of slavery in America. So talking about police,
Speaker 1: it's just it unearths a lot of stuff that, you know,
Speaker 1: the propaganda machine prefer were not discussed being integral to
Speaker 1: the financial success of America, much like the Olympic Torch Marathon.
Speaker 1: Pretty much, they're like, don't look too far back, why
Speaker 1: that started, Look at the look at the coordinated ceremony
Speaker 1: of everybody marching in lockstap. Yeah, so yeah, I mean again,
Speaker 1: this is just it's all we just run into the
Speaker 1: same fucking problems because capitalism won't allow for stability because
Speaker 1: there's no money in that, and because of that, we
Speaker 1: have to come up with these ridiculous fake solutions that
Speaker 1: just cause more problems or just look different enough. They're like,
Speaker 1: oh that's new. Well you're just spending money on fucking
Speaker 1: robot dogs and what the funk you're doing? Just like
Speaker 1: with climate change, like rather than properly investing in the
Speaker 1: ship that we needed to reduce admissions, were more like,
Speaker 1: how what kind of technologies can we used to fucking
Speaker 1: fight the earth? What were we doing? Yeah? Just so
Speaker 1: backwards at every step, and and you know, you'd hope
Speaker 1: more and more people begin to see the absurdity of it,
Speaker 1: because on its face, it's so absurd, like there's nothing
Speaker 1: you can say that you're like, oh, yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a line to the solution. Everything is so absurd. But
Speaker 1: it feels like descent just keeps being criminalized. So it's like, right,
Speaker 1: what are you supposed to do? Right? I mean, hope,
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you know? Goddamn podcast here on
Speaker 1: Independent Media where we can say exactly whoops the police. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at least say that here. I was just thinking of
Speaker 1: what you mentioned, the Olympic torch in the context of
Speaker 1: like profitability. I was just thinking back, like the one
Speaker 1: memorable moment from that was Muhammad Ali like at the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Olympics, like running the final oh right stretch, running
Speaker 1: a torch up to whoever like lit the arrow and
Speaker 1: fired it at the thing, or maybe he actually ran
Speaker 1: right up to the torch, but it's just funny to
Speaker 1: think about, like that was when he entered his It's
Speaker 1: been long enough that his radicalism is like, now you
Speaker 1: see that happening. They do that with the Olympics a
Speaker 1: lot to or they bring in people that, you know,
Speaker 1: the athletes who did the Black Power salute at the
Speaker 1: Mexico Olympics. You know, obviously the Olympics hated that at
Speaker 1: the time, and also there police murdered a bunch of
Speaker 1: students during that one. But yeah, it's like, if it's
Speaker 1: been long enough, then they try to co opt it
Speaker 1: into the commercialism. I feel like we also saw this
Speaker 1: in real time last year with the Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: movement being like co opted by corporations. But like with
Speaker 1: no material and vet none with nothing, with just like
Speaker 1: a statement but no, you know, nothing, nothing behind it,
Speaker 1: and and try ing to corporatize it in order to
Speaker 1: sort of neutralize it as an actual radical threat that
Speaker 1: was wild to see happened so so fast, and also
Speaker 1: people being kissed at it and being like funk this,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back, and it's
Speaker 1: time to talk about a couple of sports. One is
Speaker 1: an obscure one soccer I believe it's called in Europe.
Speaker 1: I call it football? Thank you? Yes? Uh so, what's
Speaker 1: going on that you? You you seem worked up about
Speaker 1: this whole soccer thing going down? Really worked? Really? You
Speaker 1: seem real, real, mad Miles. I mean I started off
Speaker 1: by egg knowledging the global capitalist perversion that is all
Speaker 1: professional sports. So I'm not here to be like shocked
Speaker 1: by anything that I'm about to say, because this has
Speaker 1: been on trend with every sport on Earth, and and
Speaker 1: soccer especially like just the World Cup itself is is
Speaker 1: a joke. But we're also find ourselves in a time
Speaker 1: where we're asking UEFA and FIFA to save the sport,
Speaker 1: which is how bad things are at the moment. So
Speaker 1: there's this thing that's trending right now that you might
Speaker 1: see called the European Super League, and everyone, what the
Speaker 1: funk is this? It's all over Twitter and ship it's because, uh,
Speaker 1: it's been trending since Sunday because eleven of Europe's top
Speaker 1: clubs plus another team called Tottenham, have decided to collectively
Speaker 1: funk over the rest of football and they're advocating for
Speaker 1: a breakaway league that would operate outside of the traditional
Speaker 1: domestic league structure. So you know, as it stands, teams
Speaker 1: like Arsenal or like they play in the English Premier League,
Speaker 1: which is governed by the English Football Association, so and
Speaker 1: they're under UEFA, who is like as the Union of
Speaker 1: the European Football Associations. And in Real Madrid or Barcelona
Speaker 1: they play in the Spanish La Liga. And so what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do is say, funk our domestic leagues.
Speaker 1: Since we're the hot boys. And I'm sorry, Arsenal, Totanham
Speaker 1: are not doing that great right now. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what the funk they're trying to do with these
Speaker 1: other teams, but they they're trying to say, let's start
Speaker 1: our own league and synergistically create all of this revenue
Speaker 1: for TV and things, because we're the biggest clubs in
Speaker 1: the world. But the real thing is that what they're
Speaker 1: trying to do is create a league that has absolutely
Speaker 1: zero competition, zero like merrit's, like just barely any merit
Speaker 1: based achievement, because they're trying to create like an NFL
Speaker 1: or NBA type structure where the teams are locked, they
Speaker 1: can never be relegated. And that's a big factor in
Speaker 1: European football and just football globally, is that there's this
Speaker 1: idea that the bottom three teams that finish in the
Speaker 1: league they can be relegated to like the minor leagues,
Speaker 1: and then the minor leagues the top three teams can
Speaker 1: now move up to the top level. So it creates
Speaker 1: all this competition where potentially you're little club could make
Speaker 1: its way all the way to the Premier League or
Speaker 1: all the way to like these you know, higher European
Speaker 1: or global competitions. But by doing this, they're essentially saying
Speaker 1: we're locking it up, there's no competition, We're gonna make
Speaker 1: way more money and funk the domestic leagues, and it's
Speaker 1: upsetting to many people, and it'll be like twelve teams,
Speaker 1: like just fifteen total, that's what they want to have
Speaker 1: it as it's just it doesn't make any fucking sense,
Speaker 1: um because it's just it's just too it's just to
Speaker 1: create this like NFL NBA type structure where it's the
Speaker 1: same fucking teams every year, and it there's no incentive
Speaker 1: to perform, like if you always know you're going to
Speaker 1: get your big like TV money check at the end
Speaker 1: of the season at the beginning of the season, and
Speaker 1: this is being so who's doing this because there's like
Speaker 1: all this great tradition. They're like the kind of the
Speaker 1: fact that a team can come up from the miners
Speaker 1: and become a major league team and then like other
Speaker 1: teams can get knocked back down is like one of
Speaker 1: the features that you hear fans like talk about lovingly.
Speaker 1: Obviously it's not this pressure is not coming from the fans,
Speaker 1: is it. Like the players. It sounds European super League
Speaker 1: sounds like a w w E wrestling org where like
Speaker 1: the one of the tag teams has leader hosen and
Speaker 1: the other one has like it is like dressed in
Speaker 1: tuxedos with the Bobby or something. Yeah, it's no, it's precise.
Speaker 1: It's the owners of the clubs. It's like the an
Speaker 1: Yellie who is the owner of Juventus. He owns Fiat,
Speaker 1: his family owns fucking Fiat. Okay, There's Stan Cronky who
Speaker 1: owns a steak and Arsenal who owns the Rams, who
Speaker 1: owns the Avalanche, who owns the fucking all the many teams,
Speaker 1: who's also married to a Walton, so he's tied up
Speaker 1: in Walmart money. To Glazers owned Manchester United. There's the
Speaker 1: fucking FSG, the Fenway Sports Group that owns Liverpool. Americans
Speaker 1: have infested European football along with many other people because
Speaker 1: Manchester City is owned by like this Amarati group, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people just completely changing the course
Speaker 1: of the game where they see these as profit making
Speaker 1: clubs because the sport is so popular and now they're
Speaker 1: willing to completely potentially rip these like it won't even
Speaker 1: matter that Manchester United is from Manchester because in this
Speaker 1: the way this league could operate, you could see like
Speaker 1: Barcelona playing man United and at fucking in San Francisco
Speaker 1: this weekend. It would It's yeah, it has the potential
Speaker 1: for that kind of thing. That's why they like, they
Speaker 1: see all this money making potential, but the fans don't
Speaker 1: want that. And I think that's the biggest thing is
Speaker 1: that they don't realize fans absolutely do not want this.
Speaker 1: They like the idea that their team can go on
Speaker 1: and be the you know, best team in Europe, uh
Speaker 1: based on the strength of like the way the league
Speaker 1: is set up now, money has been changing the game
Speaker 1: pretty steadily since their early two thousand's um where just
Speaker 1: wealthy owners have just been able to come in and
Speaker 1: completely change teams over because there's no salary cap so
Speaker 1: you can make over team with your money. But a
Speaker 1: lot of this too is is it. It's like a
Speaker 1: lot of negotiating between the owners who want a lot
Speaker 1: more money from these governing bodies like UEFA and FIFA,
Speaker 1: And I think what they're doing is saying we could
Speaker 1: literally do this ship right now if you don't come
Speaker 1: to the negotiating table, and we will, and that's why
Speaker 1: we're that's why we're getting so ugly about it because
Speaker 1: that's what we're trying to do. But I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: the clubs are all crushed with sanctions. Mine included. I
Speaker 1: don't care if arsenal are fucking just skull fucked to
Speaker 1: hell with, you know, being relegated, being kicked out of competitions,
Speaker 1: to feel that impact, because I don't know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's an absolute overstep and it's I don't know what
Speaker 1: else to say. It's just more or greed, unchecked greed,
Speaker 1: and it's spilling into every aspect of my life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: any like sports is one of those kind of ecosystems
Speaker 1: where billionaires who are like uniquely ill suited to make
Speaker 1: decisions are the ones who get to make all the decisions.
Speaker 1: Like you have to be a billionaire just to start
Speaker 1: making the decisions in the first place. Like it's not
Speaker 1: like you're the wisest person where there's a part where
Speaker 1: you're like working your way up. It's like you become
Speaker 1: a billionaire, you like leave the planet Earth in terms
Speaker 1: of logic and you know, being able to understand the
Speaker 1: human experience, and then you become an owner. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's I'm not hopeful. I'm not hopeful,
Speaker 1: but it's definitely it's an inflection point that there's no escape,
Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's no escapism that's the way we keep
Speaker 1: coming back to. Yeah, truly, because like even if you know,
Speaker 1: even like you watch formulae and and you're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, what is this fucking like all human rights
Speaker 1: violators like just being like celebrated in car form um
Speaker 1: and like everything, like at every level, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And I think this potentially has an interesting
Speaker 1: moment because I feel like the players, that's one thing
Speaker 1: they don't realize is if the players are willing to
Speaker 1: move in a certain direction together, that could potentially change
Speaker 1: what this European super League looks like. But at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, I mean, these people also like
Speaker 1: fucking money. I don't know. That's why it's gonna be
Speaker 1: interesting right now, it's just the first shot has been fired,
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a ton of like threats and
Speaker 1: being sued, and you know, right now they're saying like
Speaker 1: if to the players, if you play for one of
Speaker 1: these clubs, you can't represent your national team in the
Speaker 1: World Cup or the euro Cup, which is a huge,
Speaker 1: huge blow to a player. They're like, actually, I want
Speaker 1: that more than any more than I want to play
Speaker 1: for a club. You can play for any club. I can't.
Speaker 1: I can only represent my country in one way, So
Speaker 1: I don't know, kay. Also, I feel like this in
Speaker 1: Formula one will be the two sports that are played
Speaker 1: on Elysium, like after the all the rich people have
Speaker 1: just like left, like literally left the planet. Grand Prix
Speaker 1: Formula one is totally going to be the one we
Speaker 1: find out is like all a front for like child
Speaker 1: sex trafficking. Right, They're like all that infrastructure being shipped
Speaker 1: around the Earth. Everyone just going to like the weirdest
Speaker 1: resort towns uh in the fanciest yacht places, right and yeah,
Speaker 1: and then spending like more money than NASA on each
Speaker 1: car to like just get it to rock it around
Speaker 1: the course like as fast as possible and like half
Speaker 1: like most people aren't really paying attention. Only fans are,
Speaker 1: and America just learned it existed because of the Netflix show.
Speaker 1: Because let's let's be honest, because the superproducer on Hosni,
Speaker 1: who is the number one one evangelist out there right
Speaker 1: now team principle for ZiT Gang Racing, she got me
Speaker 1: into it by explaining that they're all like insane divas. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: totally yeah. I mean when you're about to crashing at
Speaker 1: two went not be a little caddy. They're so catty
Speaker 1: and they're like, I have to be the fastest. It's
Speaker 1: also like if the if team sports had the same
Speaker 1: sort of like ego distribution as like a rock band,
Speaker 1: where like the leader is just like so far in
Speaker 1: above like everybody else, and it's just like, well, this
Speaker 1: is gonna team sports for like you're also fighting everyone
Speaker 1: on your own team, right, yeah, mercenary. That's why Americans
Speaker 1: would like it though, because it's all like you you
Speaker 1: got to go fast. The fact that it hasn't taken
Speaker 1: off in America where it just seems like it's so
Speaker 1: perfectly design for Americans. It's just classy Nascar, right, that's right,
Speaker 1: because we have Nascar. That's why nobody gives a shit
Speaker 1: about it, I guess. But they're much they're much funnier
Speaker 1: than NASCAR drivers. NASCAR drivers are like not charismatic to
Speaker 1: me personally. Also in general, I'm like, you're not doing it.
Speaker 1: The car is doing it. You're just in the car.
Speaker 1: It's like a jockey, you know. So you feel that
Speaker 1: way about Yeah, for sure. It's all just like oh,
Speaker 1: whoever spends the most money on the car wins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the end of the day that will separate people
Speaker 1: because a lot I'm like, well, if I had Lewis
Speaker 1: Hamilton's car, Yeah, that's like all they talk about. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: like we don't have enough as much money as Ferrari
Speaker 1: so like Ferrari one and then again and ain't that
Speaker 1: the tail of the earth? Oh you can't afford it? Right, Oh,
Speaker 1: I guess you're left behind by more money equals better
Speaker 1: than woo. All right, well, let's talk briefly about an
Speaker 1: indie film that we've been buzzing about. You know, f
Speaker 1: one obviously something that has been influential behind the scenes
Speaker 1: on the Zeitgeys team, but also this new small flick
Speaker 1: that just came out was years in the making, almost
Speaker 1: like was that Boyhood was the link later movie? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like Boyhood, except none of the time spent behind
Speaker 1: the scenes is evident on on the screen. But so
Speaker 1: this movie is called Roe v Wade Baby. It is
Speaker 1: by the looks of the poster, it is a disaster movie.
Speaker 1: It's it looks like it's takes place on a fallen,
Speaker 1: post lapsarian hell earth. Roe v Wade What when like
Speaker 1: abortion has cleared the earth of all its population? Um.
Speaker 1: But it's actually too yeah yeah, because there's like twin
Speaker 1: tower kind of hulking structures in the foreground. But it's
Speaker 1: a history. It's a it's it tells you the history
Speaker 1: you didn't know about how Roe v Wade. So let's
Speaker 1: let's just start with who created this. It was originally
Speaker 1: supposed to star Uh and like he was just starring
Speaker 1: and producing. This guy Nick loebe Um, who you might
Speaker 1: have heard of because he was sued by Sophia ever
Speaker 1: Gara over her frozen embryos. They had like used IVF
Speaker 1: to conceive and had previously broken up. She broke up
Speaker 1: with him after he tagged along with her to a
Speaker 1: went socks. He's the worst person he invented. He's like
Speaker 1: maybe a rich kid. He has a brand of like
Speaker 1: onion crunch. Onion crunch, like fried onions that you put
Speaker 1: on salads, brought to a meeting with the Obama's or
Speaker 1: it brought to uh Like he got to go with
Speaker 1: her to the White House and took a picture with
Speaker 1: the Obama's and tagged the picture with his condiment that
Speaker 1: he the onion crunch condiment, that he's trying to talk,
Speaker 1: And so she broke up with him, she broke up
Speaker 1: with him, and she upgraded to uh Joe Manganello, the
Speaker 1: Armenian Stallion from the Magic Mike movies and True Blood
Speaker 1: and some other stuff, and they're just like two hotties. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the most well matched couple of all times. So right,
Speaker 1: Uh no wonder no wonder her ex is but her yeah,
Speaker 1: is jealous to the point of launching a lawsuit that
Speaker 1: didn't have any chance of going anywhere, but it did
Speaker 1: get him, uh some coverage from the right on the
Speaker 1: like from the standpoint of like he's fighting for men's
Speaker 1: rights when it comes to uh conception, and he was like,
Speaker 1: we did IVF. She has control over these I don't know,
Speaker 1: like zygotes. And he is like, now, like the their mine.
Speaker 1: I should have should have the right to like bring
Speaker 1: this baby to term and or bring these like children
Speaker 1: to term. And it just was a fucking mess. And
Speaker 1: the court was like, get the funk out of here.
Speaker 1: So anyways, the production was a lie the whole time,
Speaker 1: to the point that he ended up having to direct
Speaker 1: it because like the director didn't know what it was
Speaker 1: about until like they were days away from shooting. They
Speaker 1: read the script and they're like, oh, oh this is
Speaker 1: completely bonkers and just a giant lie and left the project.
Speaker 1: So this person had to direct it to solve uh,
Speaker 1: that problem and the problem that like other actors kept
Speaker 1: like fleeing the set and being like, yeah, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: we're out. This is a nightmare. John Voight, yes, and
Speaker 1: Stacy dash and Blossoms, Joey Lawrence who apparently has migrated
Speaker 1: to the right, and but also sad. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's just he you know, in the absence of relevance
Speaker 1: that tends to be like the gravitational pool. He he,
Speaker 1: he like drove a hard bargain to be in that film.
Speaker 1: I heard too. He wanted to be called whoa v
Speaker 1: Wade and it didn't happen, but he still did it.
Speaker 1: But you know, credit to his agent, he tried, He
Speaker 1: really tried. Also, how do you how do you how
Speaker 1: do you take a director gig and you don't know
Speaker 1: what the funk you're shooting? Did they? Was it that
Speaker 1: they showed them one script that they agreed to and
Speaker 1: then like we made some alterations days before. She was like,
Speaker 1: I'm just still laughing about how you walked us into
Speaker 1: that joke. Actually, this whole segment was written by Miles
Speaker 1: just as at we have nothing else to say about this.
Speaker 1: See what happens when I say things? I make jokes
Speaker 1: in front of her Majesty, and she rolls her eyes
Speaker 1: and says, that's stupid. I go watch this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: write a whole piece in the show and they won't
Speaker 1: even know. But the producers began withholding scripts and changing
Speaker 1: around the dial log until the cameras were about to roll,
Speaker 1: so people wouldn't have a chance to be I don't
Speaker 1: understand though, because people an early draft. This is an
Speaker 1: early draft apparently included Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood,
Speaker 1: portrayed as a KKK sympathizer, right, although she was kind
Speaker 1: of probably kind of was, but they showed a cross burning,
Speaker 1: So again, I'm just like, did somebody read the script
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, yeah, that sounds that sounds normalish, right.
Speaker 1: Jamie Kennedy was in like it plays a huge role
Speaker 1: in the movie, and he kind of got grilled about
Speaker 1: that and in a really ridiculous interview where he was like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I believe in free speech, and I didn't
Speaker 1: know what the thing was. What exactly was Jamie Kennedy
Speaker 1: experiment was really all about protecting free speech, and you've
Speaker 1: always said molly um. But he was pressed by the
Speaker 1: interviewer who was like, I feel like if someone popped
Speaker 1: in on Triumph of the Will, I would probably assume
Speaker 1: that they don't like Jews very much. Bringing it back
Speaker 1: to the torch relay, Yeah, girl boss Lenny reef Install
Speaker 1: can hate that fucking hater. Oh yeah, well, they love
Speaker 1: to show the one like photo of her like cringing,
Speaker 1: like in front of those knuts, like you see she
Speaker 1: she's a She's like, okay, she's a straight up girl boss.
Speaker 1: But people do use her to be like, look a
Speaker 1: woman director, and it's like she's a Nazi, y'all. Don't
Speaker 1: be the person who sells out to the Nazis. It's
Speaker 1: like girl boss girl Bosston. Also, Trime for the Wheel
Speaker 1: is just boring. They show it in film school a lot,
Speaker 1: but it's boring and it sucks, much like I imagine
Speaker 1: Rovie Wade the movie to be right. They just had
Speaker 1: like a bunch of slow motion images of people and
Speaker 1: they're like slow motion and their brands exploded and that
Speaker 1: was But yeah, so our writer Jam describes it as
Speaker 1: like an Expendables movie, but instead of old action stars,
Speaker 1: that's real life dirt bags and then cameos featuring like
Speaker 1: Tommy Lauren, Mike Lindell, Roger Stone. I'm sad that Steve
Speaker 1: Gutenberg's and this I wanted better that me too. Wait
Speaker 1: is he really in it? Yeah? What the I mean? Whatever?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Did the stone Cutters get
Speaker 1: him that gig Simpsons episode? Yes? I don't know that
Speaker 1: reference because they said who, Like there's a joke about
Speaker 1: who gives Steve Gutenberger career? We do do remember who? Right? Yeah? Anyway, sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm old, gotta go. Anyways, they never paid most
Speaker 1: of the actors. It's a complete nightmare, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: right wing people will be pushing it as like the
Speaker 1: next great film. I kind of got to see it though, right,
Speaker 1: kind of? I think we do afterwards. Yeah, I like
Speaker 1: to see some of those right wing outside of films.
Speaker 1: You know, what I do really want to see is
Speaker 1: Steve Manuchin's wife's movie. Yeah, I hear that as bonkers.
Speaker 1: Wait which one was she got? Crulla de Ville got
Speaker 1: a movie? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, she made a movie about
Speaker 1: like a like being a sexy mysterious lady. It's like
Speaker 1: American Psycho, but she's like mixed with joy. I guess
Speaker 1: that like where she's a type of personality. But but
Speaker 1: it's like written American Psycho if it was written by
Speaker 1: somebody who didn't know that Patrick Batem was supposed to
Speaker 1: be bad in that. It's called Me You Madness? Yeah
Speaker 1: the what I actually haven't seen the trailer for that,
Speaker 1: did you? We just enjoyed it. I it's called me
Speaker 1: You Madness, um, and she's like Hedge fun It's so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the most masturbatory thing I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: Like knowing that she wrote and directed and stars in
Speaker 1: it and it's just getting a funding help from no
Speaker 1: husband who was a fucking secretary. I mean, now when
Speaker 1: you Steve, when you search Steve manutchin, you know what
Speaker 1: comes up? Film producer? Well, I think he did, Like
Speaker 1: he's produced some respectable movies along the way. No, but
Speaker 1: I mean like I think he's managed to or manage
Speaker 1: his s e O so brethren like you know Trump bootthroat.
Speaker 1: He's film producer. Steve Turner Manuchin is an American investment
Speaker 1: banker and film producer who served as the seventy seven
Speaker 1: United States Secretary of Treasure. So yeah, number two on
Speaker 1: the list of reasons you might be looking for Steve
Speaker 1: information on him is what's his film game like these days?
Speaker 1: His vision has always fascinated me. Wow, So what the
Speaker 1: premises that she's just like hyper successful and she's addicted
Speaker 1: to success and murder and sex. What And it's like
Speaker 1: all these like shots basically cocktail. She's like in a
Speaker 1: jazz aerobics bike class with glowy aesthetic. It's just all
Speaker 1: over the place. It's really, Uh, we're gonna watch We're
Speaker 1: gonna watch it. Yeah for next year, next year's four

Speaker 1: my three year old over the weekend, we're at a
Speaker 1: like little park area, playing around a box, like just
Speaker 1: this wooden box, and this baby like kind of I
Speaker 1: was holding itself up and I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: baby is so cute. And my three year old said
Speaker 1: and I quote that baby is not cute. That baby
Speaker 1: is disgusting. Uh in like within your shot of the parents.
Speaker 1: He's never said disgusting before. I don't know. He like
Speaker 1: overheard and he said about food or something. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's got a lot to learn about being a strangers.
Speaker 1: Just the existence of this baby is disgusting. That baby
Speaker 1: is disgusting. Easy, Like, Yo, that's worse than saying, yo,
Speaker 1: that baby is a fucking herb Like that's somehow saying disgusting.

Speaker 1: a clip about this woman who is outside just on
Speaker 1: some like anti mask Karen Covid. Shit, it's like, I'm

Speaker 1: the best thing you learned from the tent part doc?

Speaker 1: also smoking a cigarette. And then there's another one with
Speaker 1: a mom with pregnant mom drinking a beer and then
