Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one, sixty two,
Speaker 1: episode three of DIR Days Us, the production of I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a
Speaker 1: deep dive into America's check. It's Wednesday, December two, forty
Speaker 1: nine days until January twenty. My name is Jack O'Brien,
Speaker 1: a K F zero O'Brian uh, and I'm thrilled to
Speaker 1: be joined as always by my co host, Mr Miles Grags.
Speaker 1: Mr Miles Gray. Guess what, folks, he does not having
Speaker 1: ACA today, so he's just gonna be your boy. Ko Sama,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the discord. Some of these are so good.
Speaker 1: I'm not lying to y'all and zigang, I have to
Speaker 1: like rehearse them to do them the justice of the time.
Speaker 1: Y'all clearly put into the lyrics. So I will be
Speaker 1: back with the fire a k Bestival dealer. But thank
Speaker 1: you for having me. Yeah yeah, hey, Miles, thrilled to
Speaker 1: have you. We are thrilled to be joined in our
Speaker 1: third seat by one of the very faces on Mount Zightmore.
Speaker 1: He is the hilarious a talented billy Wayne David's air
Speaker 1: horns air horns, their horns, their air horns, their air horns.
Speaker 1: That's good man. Three times you guys, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: everything's a good right, better, better, Yeah, it's better somewhat.
Speaker 1: It feels like a moment It feels like when your
Speaker 1: team gets momentum, although the analysts will tell us that
Speaker 1: there is no such thing as momentum and that is
Speaker 1: just a narrative device we've created as sports fans played sports,
Speaker 1: and it exists absolutely to be in the zone. People
Speaker 1: say momentum in game, momentum isn't real. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: like Sabra metrics people say, Like when they look at
Speaker 1: UH teams when they're going on a run, they're like, actually,
Speaker 1: that's just like they're just a concentration of results occurring.
Speaker 1: Flipping a coin and it turning up heads ten times
Speaker 1: in a row. You're like, wow, heads really as momentum,
Speaker 1: but it's actually just a But I just having a
Speaker 1: very limited experience with sports, and Bill you definitely have
Speaker 1: more than me. But like, there are times when the
Speaker 1: hoops seems like enormous and you like can't miss, and
Speaker 1: there are times when you can't hit the broadside of
Speaker 1: a barn. It's why the it's why con men can
Speaker 1: can have a career because you confidence way fucking people's
Speaker 1: emotions and that and and like if you don't think
Speaker 1: like a a large group of people all cheering for
Speaker 1: one thing to happen, can't steer that consciously in a
Speaker 1: mode Yeah, you're nerds are going to be like, well,
Speaker 1: actually it's just numbers. And I've never played sports or
Speaker 1: experience that, so I wanna I want to explain the
Speaker 1: numbers and you're like, you go fund yourself. Seems just
Speaker 1: like an aggressive way to like explain something away that
Speaker 1: you could just be like sure, like to be unequivocal,
Speaker 1: Like you could be like, yeah, momentum or whatever. It
Speaker 1: would be like, it's not momentum is a little like
Speaker 1: you'll relax, okay, because yes, Like to Billy's point, whether
Speaker 1: it's people cheering for you or ship cheering against you,
Speaker 1: those are fucking motivations for people to just go out
Speaker 1: of body. And I don't think some of these great
Speaker 1: ots like Michael Jordan's not gonna be like no, man,
Speaker 1: it was just a concentration of you know, fair results.
Speaker 1: For me, was had a chance of going in because
Speaker 1: that's what I shoot statistically great, great concentration of results
Speaker 1: in that moment. No this motherfucker's out here being like
Speaker 1: I took that ship personally, and then Uncle Jordan's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the valet was wearing a Calve's hat, didn't make eye
Speaker 1: contact with me long enough, and that's all I needed.
Speaker 1: I don't like when he says that it's the whole
Speaker 1: reason we play games. Yeah, that little thing that even
Speaker 1: you or what if you want to break it down
Speaker 1: even further to that god particle that they always talk
Speaker 1: about in science. We spend that money on that particle accelerator.
Speaker 1: It's that little thing that we're still like that part.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that part. Like that's what we're
Speaker 1: talking about when we talk about those little moments and
Speaker 1: why some people react to certain moments and some don't.
Speaker 1: And like even like whether it's them being like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, they got good results statistically, there's momentum. The
Speaker 1: other way too, is like on on if you're defending,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're in a sport where you're in
Speaker 1: a defensive posture or whatever, you completely funk up, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like they're doing better because your your defenses
Speaker 1: ship too. So it's like, what, I don't know, whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm getting too hopped up on my own emotions because
Speaker 1: Arsenal is doing terribly, but at least the Lakers are
Speaker 1: looking strong as fucking off. Yea, yeah, and they didn't
Speaker 1: like I didn't like Kobe Bryant and until recently, and
Speaker 1: I really looked at his career because the media gave
Speaker 1: us no choice. But I also realized, like, oh, he
Speaker 1: wanted me to not like him, and that makes me
Speaker 1: like him now because that's he's like that was the thing.
Speaker 1: And then you just notice he's just like killing teams
Speaker 1: left and right and right. That's pretty fucking cool. He
Speaker 1: was just not on my team, So funk that guy.
Speaker 1: But now I get it. He was so committed to
Speaker 1: killing teams that even at the end of his career,
Speaker 1: he was killing the Lakers. Uh wow. I mean they
Speaker 1: shouldn't have asked that. That's that's a tough one of
Speaker 1: what what what do we what should we have done
Speaker 1: with Kobe Bryant? Butlers and sorry, Sophie, all right, let's
Speaker 1: tell the listeners. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: We're just up there having fun. Yeah, yeah, love of
Speaker 1: the game. But that that was one of the last
Speaker 1: times that it seemed like somebody was just in the zone. Uh,
Speaker 1: to a degree that almost seems super human. Was dam
Speaker 1: Lillard when he was knocking down shots from like half court? Um,
Speaker 1: that was unbelievable. All Right, we're gonna talk about Trump
Speaker 1: pardoning himself others. We're gonna talk about the swamp because
Speaker 1: Biden is putting together his cabinet and yeah, there's gonna
Speaker 1: becomes the swamp. Let's listen to that album this weekend.
Speaker 1: A great album, Abbey Road. I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: heard of these people, the Beatles, but I keep referencing them.
Speaker 1: People need to check my mouth though. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Joe did Jeneva, who is suggesting that, um, the
Speaker 1: former election security head who went on sixty minutes over
Speaker 1: the weekend be killed. So that's that's sign of a Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of wiggle room when you just
Speaker 1: come out. What what did you mean by keel? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Christie Gnomes performance when it comes to COVID,
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Gordon Ramsey, We'll talk about Jake Paul
Speaker 1: uh and oh man, I hope we don't get to
Speaker 1: those last two. I hope we die. Yeah, Yeah, we'll well,
Speaker 1: we'll get there. All of that plenty more. But first, Billy,
Speaker 1: we like task our guests, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are? Mattresses, I've
Speaker 1: been looking up trying to find the best deal for
Speaker 1: a mattress. Also, I don't think Black Friday is a
Speaker 1: good time or Cyber Monday is a good time to
Speaker 1: buy any thing, because I don't know what anything ever cost, right,
Speaker 1: there's no baseline for prices, so and then they just
Speaker 1: saying like this is a hundred percent off, and you're
Speaker 1: like maybe I don't know where did it start from.
Speaker 1: It's still right, yeah, that and like I don't know
Speaker 1: when if there if one is better than the other,
Speaker 1: Like it's all blending together. It's really strange because even
Speaker 1: throughout the pand like the lockdown, so many of these
Speaker 1: like outlets or shopping places have had all kinds of
Speaker 1: ridiculous sales to offset the lack of like foot traffic
Speaker 1: into their physical stores. So it's like I've completely like
Speaker 1: I felt like there were always deals on ship because
Speaker 1: of the lockdown. That yeah, like the Cyber Monday thing
Speaker 1: was almost moot to me. I was like I don't
Speaker 1: even I don't know, like I feel like nothing looks
Speaker 1: cheaper than it ever has. I feel like it's everything's
Speaker 1: looked cheap. What they have Hyper Sundays where they where
Speaker 1: they triple the price and then it always looks like
Speaker 1: a deal on Monday, right Yeah. And then all the
Speaker 1: cheap TVs if you look, they have a listening device
Speaker 1: in them, and you're like, well, that's why they're cheap. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're the products me angry. That's just the new club
Speaker 1: card is what that is. But I think the mattress
Speaker 1: thing is frustrating because it's like some of them are
Speaker 1: really expensive of and some of them aren't, and I
Speaker 1: don't know why they're different, and you can't tail and
Speaker 1: then I mentioned it online and you know, people are like, hey,
Speaker 1: this one or this one, and then people are like, hey,
Speaker 1: don't get the ones that come rolled up because then
Speaker 1: something happens up think yeah, nothing is clear anymore, pops
Speaker 1: out of the box and scares you. Well, it's just
Speaker 1: like yeah, you'd be on a Tuesday. They get a
Speaker 1: little lower than then on the wind and you're like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't don't get them wet. Do not get them wet,
Speaker 1: especially don't feed it either. Mean that I think it's
Speaker 1: just a thing where I shouldn't. I should ask specific
Speaker 1: questions instead of vague questions, because people do answer. They
Speaker 1: take it personal to re well, don't get one from
Speaker 1: Surdo because your girlfriend will break up with you and
Speaker 1: you're like, that's not why she broke up with you
Speaker 1: know that. I think you're putting two events that happened
Speaker 1: on one day. They have nothing to do with each other.
Speaker 1: Look at poon Hound six nine x four twenty. I
Speaker 1: don't think that was the issue. What is something you
Speaker 1: think is underrated? Billy taking an ale? I think that's okay.
Speaker 1: I love every time Billy. It's always some version of this.
Speaker 1: I love it because it's such a point that always
Speaker 1: has to be driven home of you can be wrong.
Speaker 1: You know it's okay to be wrong. And also yea
Speaker 1: and this one you gotta take else too, baby, just
Speaker 1: simple wisdom. Just take it. Just he inspired this take
Speaker 1: you're seeing something, you're feeling something. No, I think it's well.
Speaker 1: I mean there's an overall thing for sure, where some
Speaker 1: people aren't taking some eles like, but I just think
Speaker 1: overall it's a weird quirk that some people have where
Speaker 1: it's like, yo, you're gonna learn more if you accept
Speaker 1: that you've lost this, and you'll probably win more if
Speaker 1: you accept this later. Yeah. See, we're just like you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to be like like I remember playing. I
Speaker 1: think the metaphor of sports too. It was like I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: My dad always drove home, like, you don't stop playing
Speaker 1: until it's done, even if you know you've lost, because
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're gonna you know you're not.
Speaker 1: You don't go out and do dumb ship, but you
Speaker 1: still compete because you're still gonna learn stuff. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you might get a concentration of favorable results statistically speaking, yea.
Speaker 1: Or where somebody's watching you know, where somebody's watching you
Speaker 1: from another level and they're like that kid didn't. That's
Speaker 1: just those little things where you're just like I think,
Speaker 1: you know, in my twenties, I fought a lot of
Speaker 1: conventional wisdom and stuff that had been thank God, just
Speaker 1: hammered into me over my youth. That in my thirties
Speaker 1: that acceptance came back out, which I'm which I'm glad
Speaker 1: was in there to begin with because it was in
Speaker 1: such a journey together. It's funny too, like with people
Speaker 1: who you know, have personalities or they just cannot admit
Speaker 1: like a deficiency within themselves, like their ego just does
Speaker 1: not allow that to be a reality in which they
Speaker 1: will either humble themselves before someone else who has given
Speaker 1: them a counterpoint that is correct or whatever. Like you
Speaker 1: also see people also engage in activities where there is
Speaker 1: mistake based knowledge being like derived you know, like you know,
Speaker 1: people who play video games you can't beat a certain level.
Speaker 1: You don't just be like, well fuck this, like it's done,
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose, and then you're like, okay, fox, so
Speaker 1: I need to go duck over here next time because
Speaker 1: of that, and then I'll pop up, clap them over there,
Speaker 1: throw a grenade. You start putting shipped together. But if
Speaker 1: you're denying yourself that information, you are going to just
Speaker 1: continue it. And that's what it's like. Just see the lot,
Speaker 1: Like fundamentally, the loss has all of the wisdom that
Speaker 1: you need contained with every every bit that you're looking forward.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm not good at this. You're like,
Speaker 1: now you're not, but you could be. You're also not
Speaker 1: good at being patient with yourself too. It's very clear,
Speaker 1: like there's and I think that's the other thing too,
Speaker 1: Like I've learned a lot from accepting when I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: when I've been like I'm acting like there's a deficiency
Speaker 1: and maybe some some of my like patterns of behavior
Speaker 1: and things like that. Having that time to even just
Speaker 1: look at and go funck, I can change that also
Speaker 1: helps me, like accept myself much easier as a human being.
Speaker 1: Like when you're in a state where you're like that,
Speaker 1: I don't make mistakes whatever, you will also have a
Speaker 1: very hard time accepting yourself because you're too caught up
Speaker 1: in this idea of perfection whatever. Just fucking take the elves, baby,
Speaker 1: and just love, love yourself. Take them. I bet Nate
Speaker 1: Robinson's taking. He seems like he's taking in the open
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah yeah, yeah, And he's and he's and
Speaker 1: he'll probably be like, you know what, what I learned there?
Speaker 1: I'm thirty five. I don't even be fighting twenty three
Speaker 1: year olds who are just maniacally lift weights all day
Speaker 1: and like only like on their vision board have pictures
Speaker 1: of them tearing my hat off, And I probably don't
Speaker 1: need to prove myself like that anymore. Yeah. Also, Jake
Speaker 1: Paul was a d one wrestler, was something I just learned.
Speaker 1: So yes, and also because you play basketball doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you can take a fucking punch. Those are two different things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's one of but he's got that Bentley logo on
Speaker 1: his throat. It does not matter, all right, Well, that
Speaker 1: is that is a that is that's like having that's
Speaker 1: like having soft hands or a good arm. That is
Speaker 1: something you're born with. Where if you have a jaw
Speaker 1: like that, that's you can take a punt or you can't.
Speaker 1: And he didn't have a he had a glass jaw,
Speaker 1: and I feel like someone in his corner probably noticed
Speaker 1: that can still let him do that? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's a check. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was my first thought was like someone knew that he Oh,
Speaker 1: people are talking about like Jake Paul doing another fight.
Speaker 1: I think this should be Nate Robinson's new lane is
Speaker 1: just getting knocked out by Difference Homer, Like just uh
Speaker 1: who next, Sean Spicer knock just getting just destroyed the
Speaker 1: most UFC fighter that wants to fight Jake Paul. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that, I do think. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: this weird version of meet me at the ballpark after school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where they've monetized this weird celebrities being like I'll fight you,
Speaker 1: and you're like, what is happening? It is solely becoming
Speaker 1: like the Acclaimation Show celebrity deathmatch from like the early
Speaker 1: aughts on TV that was like it's like, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: Jake Paul versus Nate Robinson, Like that sounds like a sketch, right,
Speaker 1: is this? It's just people, it's our entire culture becoming
Speaker 1: middle school again, or it's just fight fight like you said,
Speaker 1: Billy Wayne, Um, Yeah, but there and I would go
Speaker 1: to an act school fight. If Snoop Doggs Rappid, I
Speaker 1: would be like, see and Wenna, go see Kevin and
Speaker 1: Stave knock each other out. It's gonna be great. Our
Speaker 1: inability to figure out like what skills translate between things
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite like topics to think about
Speaker 1: because nobody like really studies that. But like the fact
Speaker 1: that if we had known that Jake Paul was a
Speaker 1: D one combat sport like athlete and he was fighting
Speaker 1: somebody who was a basketball player and a football player, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: those one of those skills translates to to fighting and
Speaker 1: the other does not. Or you know, I always talk
Speaker 1: about the directors the actors who make better. Directors are
Speaker 1: always like the just like handsome guys who figured out
Speaker 1: how to be movie stars, as opposed to like the
Speaker 1: real actor early actors like John Turk or Row or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's always like the dudes who just like know how
Speaker 1: to appear in a shot. Um is the thing that translates.
Speaker 1: I don't know Atturos directing, huh or or Robert de
Speaker 1: Niro or I think de Niro's movie that he directed
Speaker 1: was like, people are like, this is really boring because
Speaker 1: like he's counting on the people to be able to
Speaker 1: like do more with their performances than all right, now
Speaker 1: beat me, yeah, now new unincredible performance that I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's what Marty Scorsese used to say to me, So
Speaker 1: I don't know why this isn't working. That's like they
Speaker 1: talked about Ted Williams tried to us used to teach
Speaker 1: people how to hit, and he would just say, the
Speaker 1: craziest ship you've ever heard, because he was the best
Speaker 1: hitter that ever lived in The people be like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what he's talking about. They're like, you gotta
Speaker 1: put a little pine tar at the top of your butt. Crack. Well,
Speaker 1: just you know, he would what you can see the
Speaker 1: stitches when the ball's coming in just crazy because it's
Speaker 1: a hand eye coordination is unbelievable. Some people respect what
Speaker 1: the fund is. He doesn't apply to me. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: wrote a book and hitting coaches is like. Keep in
Speaker 1: mind that dude could do a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: most humans couldn't. So keep that in mind when you
Speaker 1: read that book. Chapter four makes no sense at all.
Speaker 1: Chapter four four is called ted time. It says when
Speaker 1: the when the balls are at least from the picture's hand,
Speaker 1: enter ted time, so you can then gain control of
Speaker 1: space and time. I don't I don't know how to
Speaker 1: do this. Coach keeps singing, keeps swinging them, keep swinging
Speaker 1: the man that being the best fighter pilot? What is uh?
Speaker 1: Fighter pilot? Being a fighter pilot at the top of
Speaker 1: your class in a war is a good practice for
Speaker 1: your hand eye coordination. So that's a good pilot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Ted Williams. Also try and get something in on
Speaker 1: the moon. You know, there's different levels of gravity will
Speaker 1: really help your game when people are throwing off speed
Speaker 1: pitches at you. It's funny way I the book. My
Speaker 1: kids are obsessed with right now is I am Neil
Speaker 1: Armstrong And it's the story of like Neil Armstrong, but
Speaker 1: it literally hammers home the points that we're talking about,
Speaker 1: like being willing to take a nail, like failing over
Speaker 1: and over again, and then like weird ways that like
Speaker 1: people underrate the fact that like he was like a
Speaker 1: great engineer and like had to engineer all this ship
Speaker 1: like on the fly. Uh anyways, uh so check out
Speaker 1: its kind of bitter about that ship too. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to the Moon, but you know, like I
Speaker 1: had to magover a bunch of ships before there was
Speaker 1: a magover, So yeah, yeah, you're like everyone's like, hey, Neil,
Speaker 1: this kid's book just o man, call it Neil Armstrong,
Speaker 1: the fucking NASA maintenance guy who had figured out before
Speaker 1: all his fucking buddies died up there in the cold
Speaker 1: vacuum space. I don't know, man. There is a page
Speaker 1: just like is about the memorial to all the people
Speaker 1: who died in the space race, And my son is
Speaker 1: always like, what what is that page? Why is that why?
Speaker 1: Like I I skipped that part a little bit because
Speaker 1: he's obsessed with death, like any idea of death that like,
Speaker 1: like there's Mr. Rogers book where like the fish is
Speaker 1: floating upside down and he just like clings to that
Speaker 1: and like rereads that page over and over again, because yeah,
Speaker 1: he's very He just asked me the other day how dinosaurs,
Speaker 1: Why dinosaurs aren't here anymore? Why can't they come back?
Speaker 1: The Republicans exactly about Ronald Reagan? Real quick, Billy Wayne,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? And it seems trite?
Speaker 1: But reality television? Miles? I know, I know, I don't
Speaker 1: if I gave a funk. If I gave a funk
Speaker 1: about what other people thought, I wouldn't be me. But no, go,
Speaker 1: I think it is and very many aspects. But I
Speaker 1: think for me it's overrated because it's not peaceful to me.
Speaker 1: That's something I've noticed. I've found myself turning off certain
Speaker 1: shows because the conflict is so intense that I'm not
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like, oh, this is a dumpster fire I
Speaker 1: can revel in. Other times I'm like, I just understand
Speaker 1: that some of it you're like, yeah, slow motion and amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm loving it. Other ones just like people
Speaker 1: screaming and shouting at each other for no reason. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, I can, like I have repressed memories
Speaker 1: from childhood. I can revisit if I want to, like
Speaker 1: hear like wild ask screaming competitions, but like, yeah, there
Speaker 1: are moments where I've found like this is kind of
Speaker 1: sucking my energy, like it's raising my blood pressure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like I will turn certain things off and
Speaker 1: like I'm just like I can't. It's not good right now,
Speaker 1: it's not Would you watch Real Housewives in Salt Lake
Speaker 1: City now? That one actually, that's that's good vegetables, that
Speaker 1: one's something. Yeah, my wife turned that one on a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and I was like, I just
Speaker 1: can't do. And then the first lady talks and I
Speaker 1: was like, huh, okay, uh, I'm gonna huh. It's just
Speaker 1: someone that enjoys sociology, psychology and whatever's wrong with these people.
Speaker 1: That was my first way of rationalizing. I was watching
Speaker 1: reality TV to like my other friends in college when
Speaker 1: I was like, it's actually like a really good case
Speaker 1: study on like human behavior, and I'm just like, look, bro,
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's heavily produced. Like half my
Speaker 1: friends are shooting this ship and I know like how
Speaker 1: bunk it is. But I just love the fucking messes
Speaker 1: and I don't know the Bachelor it is that one's
Speaker 1: I can get into that sometimes because of the weird
Speaker 1: psychological ship they're due in to them right right, well,
Speaker 1: because that's more of like a game show than like
Speaker 1: uh like a sort of interactions of like real couples.
Speaker 1: It's like statistic yeah, yeah, I think you need to
Speaker 1: embrace the fact that you're a reality show. You can't
Speaker 1: like try and just like pretend there's not a camera
Speaker 1: there and that like this is just how these people behave.
Speaker 1: Like that's what the Bachelor and Bachelor is like specifically,
Speaker 1: like a set up where things are being set up
Speaker 1: for them, and like that's embraced, whereas anything I don't
Speaker 1: know thelated to by like like sleep deprivation and alcohol,
Speaker 1: and the alcohol I think is the most underrated thing.
Speaker 1: I have a friend of mine, if y'all remember the
Speaker 1: Fifth Wheel and a Limidate, if they used to shoot
Speaker 1: a limidate, which my god, I was watching on YouTube
Speaker 1: old clips of that. The banter on those dates is
Speaker 1: so fucked up in toxic from two thousand even like
Speaker 1: four to like where there was like a you know,
Speaker 1: eliminated is like a man or a woman. There was
Speaker 1: like quarters court people trying to court them and they
Speaker 1: have to slowly eliminate them and they end up with
Speaker 1: one single person. But when it's a woman is the
Speaker 1: focal point and its dudes, they just end up like
Speaker 1: piling on each other and being so toxic. And when
Speaker 1: this woman was like I just read this article that
Speaker 1: like like men like can start drinking like women's drinks
Speaker 1: or like girly drinks, Like what do you guys think?
Speaker 1: Like would you ever drink like a girly drink at
Speaker 1: a bar? And the conversations like this is so twenty
Speaker 1: years ago, Like it's so fucking amazing. Anyway, all that
Speaker 1: to say is alcohol is like from before the camera
Speaker 1: even starts rolling, the producers like what do you need? Man?
Speaker 1: What you want? Your red cup is empty? What do
Speaker 1: you need? What do you want? What do you how?
Speaker 1: How quickly? How cold? How much? Um? Yeah, So they
Speaker 1: gotta they gotta grease the wheels for they keep them
Speaker 1: and then they drink and then they take it away,
Speaker 1: so they come down but they're still filming, and then
Speaker 1: they get and instead of going to bed, like you're
Speaker 1: spoused to do. When you pour poison in your mouth
Speaker 1: all night, you're not supposed to keep going the next day,
Speaker 1: and then you have to make You're also having to
Speaker 1: make these competitive decisions. And I think that's that one's
Speaker 1: now it's not overrated to me. I think the ones
Speaker 1: where they yell and the like you said, the conflict
Speaker 1: ones where they just amped it up to where you're like,
Speaker 1: I don't these are two animals in the cage that
Speaker 1: shouldn't be in the cage to get I don't like this.
Speaker 1: Like the back of my neck is is activated like that,
Speaker 1: like the my alien brain is like, you gotta get
Speaker 1: out of here this planet. Yeah. All Reality TV is
Speaker 1: secretly a competition show called America's Most Charismatic and Energetic Alcoholic.
Speaker 1: That is my favorite part of The Bachelor is when
Speaker 1: they put all those dudes have the the the angles
Speaker 1: for faces. Yeah, well, and they're all from like Lincoln,
Speaker 1: Nebraska and Pierre, South Dakota, and it's like the only
Speaker 1: angled dude there. And then they're all in the same
Speaker 1: room for the first time with a bunch of dudes
Speaker 1: that look like them, and they're right, Well, my move
Speaker 1: is usually just stand here and then They're all looking
Speaker 1: around like that's my move too, So we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to douce and you're like, yeah, do stuff, do stuff,
Speaker 1: give them booze. Then I can stand. There's other Literally,
Speaker 1: their name is Jake. My middle name is Kyle. Is
Speaker 1: that well that'll actually confuse people between Kyle T and
Speaker 1: Kyle F. That are other contestants. So you can either
Speaker 1: be Jake Z or Kyle three. I'm Jake, I'm Jake Kyle.
Speaker 1: The power of both. I'm an entrepreneur unprecedented. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: about Trump. I guess and we're back. Yeah, let's let's
Speaker 1: actually kick it off with what what's happening in the
Speaker 1: Biden administration. Uh, since it's kind of kick it off,
Speaker 1: just take it. Getting a hop in the fan boat
Speaker 1: real quick, and let's go down to the swamp down
Speaker 1: there we get Can we get some food first if
Speaker 1: we're going to louis In, Yeah, oh absolutely, Let's go
Speaker 1: to Parkway and get a couple of po boys real quick,
Speaker 1: and then we'll go down to Boostuil's. And I think
Speaker 1: if we're going into that swamp, we need to get
Speaker 1: god like someone Manaford or somebody that knows what to do.
Speaker 1: Right now, we'll just kind of what'll just sunk around
Speaker 1: and find out. So Biden, I mean the conversation, uh
Speaker 1: when and the Democratic Party was trying to get people
Speaker 1: on board with the Biden ticket was that, you know,
Speaker 1: he is going to be the most progressive president and
Speaker 1: you know he has the most progressive platform and his cabinet.
Speaker 1: He's gonna bringing Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and it's
Speaker 1: just gonna be a coalition of all the people the
Speaker 1: Democrats give a shit about um. And now it seems
Speaker 1: like who said? Who said all that? That seemed like
Speaker 1: it was when where they were headed early on, when
Speaker 1: I think when they were trying to get progressive the nomination. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like we're gonna listen to them. I mean they
Speaker 1: were when they were lying to get what they yeah, absolutely, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Party when they're like, yeah, you know, the people had
Speaker 1: better ideas than me, Like without a shodow of a doubt,
Speaker 1: don't worry, I'm gonna talk to them about on the
Speaker 1: ideas stuff. For sure, need your power, but you keep
Speaker 1: your ideas. That's where yeah, know, just need the bodies,
Speaker 1: not the ideas. But now that he is starting to
Speaker 1: unveil cabinet nominees and other appointments to his administration. Uh.
Speaker 1: And this is stuff I should say upfront I find
Speaker 1: aggressively boring. But I found it boring when Trump was
Speaker 1: doing it too, because I'm not like a politics or
Speaker 1: government uh, like a person, not a walk. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like they have gone in the very predictable
Speaker 1: direction of just basically trying to be centril as centrist
Speaker 1: as possible, and more than that, just a fully bear
Speaker 1: hugging the corporate class too. Uh and in most positions. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of the talk
Speaker 1: has been about like the Comm's office and how it's
Speaker 1: all women in there for the first time, or Janet
Speaker 1: yelling uh, possibly becoming Secretary of Treasury and and this,
Speaker 1: that and the other. But there's like other appointments to right,
Speaker 1: like who's his who are his economic advisors? Who's heading
Speaker 1: up the National Economic Council? And you look at that
Speaker 1: and say, oh, this name is floating around John de
Speaker 1: Se and'll go, oh wait, John Deese, John, He's gonna
Speaker 1: be ah this pretty disappointment. I mean to be Biden's
Speaker 1: main economic advisor, someone who is probably essentially going to
Speaker 1: be in charge of greening the economy to get people
Speaker 1: back to work. That's one of the things that the
Speaker 1: Biden campaign was saying, you know, like this is how
Speaker 1: we're gonna put build back better, y'all um. And the
Speaker 1: problem is John Deese. Although he is in an Obama
Speaker 1: alum and things like that, the man's been at black
Speaker 1: Rock for the past couple of years. And if you
Speaker 1: don't know what black Rock is, they are the world's
Speaker 1: largest asset manager. They control like the keys and most death. No,
Speaker 1: absolutely not. It's not that wonderful collapse. Uh. This is
Speaker 1: just a straight up They control like eight trillion dollars
Speaker 1: worth of assets nearly uh. And they you know, help
Speaker 1: might be the Black Keith, that might be the black
Speaker 1: And you know, having someone coming from the world's largest,
Speaker 1: the largest asset manager, I think most of the time
Speaker 1: when Trump was make appointees, the media was very quick
Speaker 1: to point out, who are these people? Look at these
Speaker 1: swamp creatures? Well, John Deecee, I would say, coming from
Speaker 1: black Rock, that's a hell of a fucking swamp to
Speaker 1: emerge from. And I don't want to say that every
Speaker 1: person who goes into the private sector and comes back
Speaker 1: the revolving door or whatever is a bad you know, appointee.
Speaker 1: But I haven't seen appointments made from like nonprofits or
Speaker 1: other groups where people are doing like this real hard
Speaker 1: thinking about how to solve these problems. And just looking
Speaker 1: at Black Rocks like past you know m o on
Speaker 1: the environment just shows you how, you know, quote unquote
Speaker 1: serious they are about the issue of like tackling climate
Speaker 1: change with the Green New Deal. Um they said before
Speaker 1: the last World Economic Form and Davos, uh black Rock
Speaker 1: quote pledged that they're actively managed funds wouldn't invest in
Speaker 1: companies that do more than of their business in coal.
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh shit, okay, that that sounds good
Speaker 1: of their business. But here's the deal. Coal is fucking dying.
Speaker 1: No person who has any kind of mind of for
Speaker 1: investment is going to put their money in a dying industry.
Speaker 1: So like it's kind of sure, but like that's a
Speaker 1: nice policy to have, but it doesn't seem like that's
Speaker 1: a real thing that's going to affect your business and
Speaker 1: the like the name of doing what's right for the earth.
Speaker 1: And also like these passive funds that um, you can't yeah,
Speaker 1: right of their their business like comes in these forms
Speaker 1: of these passive funds, and those aren't even subjected to
Speaker 1: these like sustainability screens that they keep talking about. So
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fucking vaporware, which again you would
Speaker 1: expect because the Obama administration did a hell of a
Speaker 1: job too when they were like, hey man, all of
Speaker 1: the above when it comes to this climate change ship
Speaker 1: uh and fuel mix, all of the above, that is
Speaker 1: such horseship. All of the above means, look, we've we're
Speaker 1: basically gonna hand hold some investors who were overleveraged in
Speaker 1: dying industries because we're not willing to actually take away
Speaker 1: these fucked up forms of energy that are polluting our earth.
Speaker 1: And this guy, John Dee's champion of the all of
Speaker 1: the above approach for fucking the earth Like this is,
Speaker 1: you know, our whole idea of trying to curb the
Speaker 1: climate change is getting rid of fossil fuels. And this
Speaker 1: guy comes from a company whose entire career, the ethos
Speaker 1: of companies like Black Rock and sending their you know,
Speaker 1: underlings out to serving government is to take away their
Speaker 1: restrictions to investment you know what I mean, that's like
Speaker 1: what these people do. They're not here to actually restrict
Speaker 1: things or prevent things from happening. There would be like, no,
Speaker 1: we're here, we're just we're basically capitalist Greece. To have
Speaker 1: this ship flying like that is an athema to them.
Speaker 1: But that is who we elected. Yeah, absolute Delaware has
Speaker 1: always been. It's just a little hotout, little baby Cayman Islands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's where that's where our president elect. That's where
Speaker 1: that's who he's been representing in the Senate his whole career. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it was clear that's who Obama.
Speaker 1: That's why Obama chose him for vice president, and I
Speaker 1: think that's why big business was okay with him running
Speaker 1: for the Democratic thing. I think that's why. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's very clear. I think now we just assume anybody
Speaker 1: he puts in there is bullshit for the next four years,
Speaker 1: and we do what the Republicans did for eight years,
Speaker 1: which is you just push push, push, push, pushed to
Speaker 1: the left. And I'm not I'm not a crazy leftist,
Speaker 1: but this is where our systems at. It's so far right.
Speaker 1: We have to push left for the next fucking forty
Speaker 1: or fifty years. Right. With regards to the environment, we're
Speaker 1: supposedly and this is what Biden's like party line on
Speaker 1: it has been, is that we're an existential crisis. And
Speaker 1: the answer that even that the Democrats have been in
Speaker 1: favor of it is basically, we grow the economy while
Speaker 1: fighting climate change. It's economic growth and battling climate change
Speaker 1: at the same time, and that has proven not to
Speaker 1: be enough. And like that, that's a broad question that
Speaker 1: needs to be specifically, just tax all these fucking trillionaires
Speaker 1: and that's the thing, and then create a new deal
Speaker 1: where he gives everybody jobs to make to say, we
Speaker 1: already did it. We already did it once, We already did.
Speaker 1: I live in a community that's where I grew up,
Speaker 1: that was created. It's called Homestead in Crossfield, Tennessee and
Speaker 1: Cumblin County. Roosevelt's wife came there and spoke because it
Speaker 1: was part of the new deal. My graham, two of
Speaker 1: my grandparents live in homestead houses that were built by that.
Speaker 1: They're still fucking around. We already did it, Let's do
Speaker 1: it again. I them from where it happened. Also all
Speaker 1: that this is also why I believe that not a living,
Speaker 1: wasn't in a job because people like people do stuff
Speaker 1: because of Because I also grew up twenty miles from
Speaker 1: fucking oak Ridge, Tennessee. That wasn't a town in nineteen
Speaker 1: forty and then was in nineteen forty one, and then
Speaker 1: I knew people they didn't know what the funk they
Speaker 1: were doing. So yeah, I believe that the government could
Speaker 1: do some fun up that was a that was a
Speaker 1: town that they like basically built as a military like installation, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean And the other thing that like people being
Speaker 1: part of the Obama administration, I think there's probably like
Speaker 1: for all I can speak for myself, Uh, there's just
Speaker 1: a positive glow around Obama because he was contrasted with
Speaker 1: like somebody who was literally just trying to dismantle things
Speaker 1: openly for anybody who was not a rich business person.
Speaker 1: So we have this positive glow for Obama. But like
Speaker 1: the fact that this dude is a Obama administration alum
Speaker 1: Rama manual is somebody who's being like kicked around as
Speaker 1: like a member. Yeah, like that's really not a good thing.
Speaker 1: Like we need to be moving far left from where
Speaker 1: the Obama administration was on uh, climate on social justice
Speaker 1: on uh you know, like the on the power Googles.
Speaker 1: You can't just be power googling around all the time,
Speaker 1: like just in and out of the halls of power.
Speaker 1: Like it's just historically we've got to get rid of
Speaker 1: those type players. Yeah, but so these are all these
Speaker 1: are all indications that we're not headed for what people
Speaker 1: were hoping Biden would be, which is like the new
Speaker 1: fdr A. You know, if you watch MSNBC, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, well, look at some of the other people
Speaker 1: He's like pointing to some of these economic positions, like
Speaker 1: the Janet Yellings and other people. It's like, no, they're
Speaker 1: there for like more like equity and like working people
Speaker 1: and things like that. I'm like, well, I'll believe that
Speaker 1: ship when I see it, because based on every the
Speaker 1: moment him or the concentration of favorable results that have
Speaker 1: occurred on the Democratic side, they don't give a funk
Speaker 1: about this stuff. And that's why we were holding our
Speaker 1: nose as being like, well, fuck, we just need to
Speaker 1: unburden ourselves of the distraction of having Trump and trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what the funk to do with this
Speaker 1: person now. And yeah, to your point, like the Obama
Speaker 1: administration was all about having as smooth a partnership between
Speaker 1: the private sector and the public sector as possible, Like
Speaker 1: that was really like and even to Billy's point, Yes,
Speaker 1: having Joe Biden there is clearly an olive branch to
Speaker 1: the to the private sector, being like, yeah, you remember him,
Speaker 1: the dude who's fucking caping free all these years. That's
Speaker 1: my number two. So go through him and we'll figure
Speaker 1: something out. And I will still say all of the
Speaker 1: above while continuing to completely destroy the environment because you know,
Speaker 1: they're sort of beholding to these fossil fuel industries. So
Speaker 1: now we have president amtrack girlie sniffer right a track.
Speaker 1: But I mean, for like, I'm I'm at a uh
Speaker 1: point where when the stock market reacts really positively to something,
Speaker 1: I think it's probably not good for the long term
Speaker 1: health of the country and the middle The fact that
Speaker 1: clarifying that Biden will be the president has caused the
Speaker 1: stock market value to go higher than it's ever gone
Speaker 1: before suggests to me that there is an expectation that
Speaker 1: all of the corporations who are insulated from day to
Speaker 1: day American economic conditions feel good and feel like they're
Speaker 1: going to be able to uphold the status quo um
Speaker 1: and that's a really bad sign. Yeah, I think we
Speaker 1: have to realize too, is we have to I mean,
Speaker 1: as fucked up as it is, this year has helped
Speaker 1: a lot of people be more engaged and more connected
Speaker 1: to what the stakes are in terms of how leadership
Speaker 1: functions in this country. And status quo is fucking death.
Speaker 1: Status quo is fucking barbaric, it's fucking violent, it's chaos,
Speaker 1: and it has no fucking place in a world that
Speaker 1: I think most of us are trying to envision and
Speaker 1: which is something that feels somewhat more equitable and safer
Speaker 1: for all, like every single living person that they have
Speaker 1: basic rights. And I think, you know, part of this
Speaker 1: Obama and be like, oh man, the Obama thing is
Speaker 1: essentially I can go back to the level of engagement
Speaker 1: I had in politics when Obama was president because I
Speaker 1: probably have a salary job and that's fine, and I
Speaker 1: live in an area where most people also have the
Speaker 1: same living conditions and we don't talk much about the
Speaker 1: strife that's out there, but it's there. And for all
Speaker 1: the talk of like how great the economy is doing,
Speaker 1: like look at the footage of all the people lining
Speaker 1: up for food on Thanksgiving, you know, and we want
Speaker 1: to still do this raw ra Americans, America's number one ship.
Speaker 1: We're leaving our fucking people behind and to to to
Speaker 1: put to start hitting the brakes on the kinds of
Speaker 1: progress and the ideals that we're gonna be fighting for.
Speaker 1: Just because Joe Biden is fucking president is is an
Speaker 1: absolute betrayal to the people who need protection and help
Speaker 1: from you know that for us to move in solidarity
Speaker 1: with each there. Uh So, it's really just you know,
Speaker 1: I I really implore of the listeners to like, the
Speaker 1: ship is not We said this even on the election day,
Speaker 1: no matter who wins, where ship is not done. We're
Speaker 1: not done. We're not I think as a show, Like personally,
Speaker 1: I feel more energized because what we're saying, Like before,
Speaker 1: a lot of our criticisms of the administration and what
Speaker 1: was happening in politics were at least like partially being
Speaker 1: echoed by what was happening in the mainstream media. There's
Speaker 1: now going to be kind of a complete disconnect between
Speaker 1: you know, the perspective of our show and what we
Speaker 1: think is actually good for people and the mainstream media,
Speaker 1: like like there would have been during the Obama administration,
Speaker 1: like that, there is actively an effort by the mainstream
Speaker 1: media to keep the status quo unless they somehow change,
Speaker 1: unless they react to this waking up of of the
Speaker 1: populace during the Trump administration and start moving their politics
Speaker 1: towards the left. And you know, accepting that there's growth,
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna happen because well, it'll happen. It'll
Speaker 1: happen if if enough people uh change their buying habits,
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. But if if and then if
Speaker 1: they change their buying habits and in their activity in
Speaker 1: in such a drastic sharp way, because that's who it's
Speaker 1: the same people that own everything on the food and
Speaker 1: all the bullshit own the fucking media companies now and
Speaker 1: they're all unregulated. And if you don't, it's just that's
Speaker 1: why they poke poke poke, poke poke and give us
Speaker 1: just enough information like this is why these shows are important.
Speaker 1: It was also made me laugh when you guys got
Speaker 1: your first coke ad when you went to our Heart.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was so serious when that would and
Speaker 1: you guys, some of y'all were like, I can't believe
Speaker 1: that happened. I'm like, that was very clear. Those Coke
Speaker 1: motherfucker's new exactly when that when y'all dropped, they were like,
Speaker 1: put an ad right there, here's an extra five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Put an add right there were on their radar. If
Speaker 1: you don't think you guys are on their radar, you're
Speaker 1: silly that there's I think ruled the world without having
Speaker 1: a good ass radar, right's. Well, have you seen I've
Speaker 1: been to there. I think my thing with Coke is
Speaker 1: like they used to they've embraced the villain because I
Speaker 1: go to Wichita every couple of years and their headquarters
Speaker 1: now looks like something out of a comic book. It's
Speaker 1: like the Death Stars getting near it. It's a black
Speaker 1: mirrored building. It's it's hilarious. And I know people from
Speaker 1: there and they're like, it used to be just this
Speaker 1: mom and pop up. I mean, they had a bazillion dollars,
Speaker 1: but it was just like you know, and now they're like,
Speaker 1: they've since done this, and I was like, they've embraced it.
Speaker 1: It's like the borg Cube or whatever that ship wasn't
Speaker 1: Star Trek that I couldn't stop when a driving around
Speaker 1: it because I was like, this is I gotta just
Speaker 1: tip my hat. I ain't mad at him. It's hilarious
Speaker 1: because they're just well, don't do when you're like, I
Speaker 1: don't think we can do anything. That's the origin of
Speaker 1: us saying funk the Cooke Brothers and Coke Industries at
Speaker 1: the top of the show was that for people who
Speaker 1: haven't been listening that long, a Coke Industries ad appeared,
Speaker 1: not like Red by Miles and I, but just like
Speaker 1: a network wide Coke Brothers Coke Industries ad appeared on
Speaker 1: our podcast, And so for a year straight we started
Speaker 1: the show off same fuck Coke Industries and fun the
Speaker 1: Cooke Brothers. Uh, just you know, and then one of
Speaker 1: them like you know what, dude, Yeah, I just a
Speaker 1: lot of people were also like coke industries, right, like
Speaker 1: Coca Cola. Yeah, them kind, but I mean they're also
Speaker 1: siphening all the water out of the earth. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Union in their union busters with some blood on
Speaker 1: their hands and Latin America to uh coke bottling plants.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think that's the thing a
Speaker 1: lot of when you look at the trade advisors that
Speaker 1: Biden has, they all of do have blood on their
Speaker 1: hands from liberal union busting, so they that might be
Speaker 1: an interesting All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: come back and uh catch up with where we are
Speaker 1: on the dying days of the Trump administration and the
Speaker 1: early days of the Jake Paul administration. And we're back.
Speaker 1: There's just all sorts of chatter around Trump pardoning himself,
Speaker 1: his family. Uh. Sean Hannity on his podcast or his
Speaker 1: radio show talked about how had on Sydney pal first
Speaker 1: of all, so I you know, thought when the trouble
Speaker 1: administration threw her under the bus that her days as
Speaker 1: a media sort of expert for Fox News were over,
Speaker 1: But now she she back. And you can't flush one
Speaker 1: down the toilet. You have to smash it and then flush.
Speaker 1: You gotta break it up with chopsticks, oh god, and
Speaker 1: then flush. Like we're having some really specific conversations about
Speaker 1: somebody who grew up in a Japanese house and took
Speaker 1: ships that were too big for my little Anyway, Hannity
Speaker 1: wants Trump to um and we did we ever figure
Speaker 1: out where like there there's no constitutional president for somebody
Speaker 1: just saying like I'm pardoned, I'm on base. You can't
Speaker 1: tag me no take backs like, that's not that's not
Speaker 1: how presidential pardons work, right, I can't parton in this
Speaker 1: position to put such a motherfucker in charge there that
Speaker 1: he could have to. It's one of those I think
Speaker 1: everyone came to the monk on the thing and the
Speaker 1: monk goes. He just lights a cigarette. You didn't even
Speaker 1: know he smoked. Huh ship, Okay, yeah, maybe we just
Speaker 1: go get him now. I don't know the yeah, because
Speaker 1: I mean, wouldn't he have to pardon himself for something
Speaker 1: or can you just preemptively be like Ali ali os
Speaker 1: and free, I didn't do anything that you're going to
Speaker 1: say I did. Yeah, I don't know. I mean I
Speaker 1: think they'll try it, because based on the lawsuits, these
Speaker 1: motherfucker's will do anything. It would be amazing though, if
Speaker 1: he was like, okay, so here the and things I
Speaker 1: did and this is what I'm pardoning myself for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he he goes to a police station to turn himself in.
Speaker 1: I would like to confess to some crimes because I
Speaker 1: need to get charged while he's in office. That's kind
Speaker 1: of the deal here is, can't I'm the clock is
Speaker 1: rapidly taking for somebody who is the actual enemy of
Speaker 1: whatever this system of governance is as funked up as
Speaker 1: it is. It's just like, sure, but that's just federal
Speaker 1: Like he can't pardon himself from all the stuff. That's
Speaker 1: why it's like, go ahead, like you know that everybody's
Speaker 1: been sharpening their knives since the day. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think all of the prosecutors know how the presidential pardons work.
Speaker 1: But it was very clear once they saw the obstruction
Speaker 1: happening at d O J that those U. S. Attorneys
Speaker 1: were like going to the people and this at the
Speaker 1: state level and be like, y'all there, it ain't gonna
Speaker 1: happen over here, so we can you know, you might
Speaker 1: need to also get your your car warmed up because
Speaker 1: this is something might have to happen on that side.
Speaker 1: And if you need ELP, we know some people that
Speaker 1: can kind of call or just like, hey, we can't
Speaker 1: do it, but you can and according to source of
Speaker 1: Prudy Julia, I'll show up to that person's door. Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's from us. That's from us. Another thing we need
Speaker 1: to get out of the habit of personally is like
Speaker 1: thinking of the FBI as good guys because they were
Speaker 1: in this uh specific instance, like we were rooting for
Speaker 1: we were rooting for the fucking and and to get
Speaker 1: out of that, I am reading Family Secrets and the
Speaker 1: Jakarta Method. I highly recommend both about the history of
Speaker 1: cia fuory and by I mean by fucker, I mean
Speaker 1: like straight up just murdering of innocent people. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: if you're sucking just blowing up planes and ship like
Speaker 1: that politician was getting a little too popular in that
Speaker 1: country where we have investment interests or is it that's
Speaker 1: how they get you. But Rudy Giuliani has also been
Speaker 1: discussing the idea of a preemptive pardon, but like again
Speaker 1: they're not saying what it would be for, so what
Speaker 1: he's just he's just gonna pardon him for the thing
Speaker 1: that he did and where that's how we're gonna find
Speaker 1: out what they actually did. Well, it's probably like his
Speaker 1: Ukraine ship, lobbying on the half of another country, all
Speaker 1: kinds of do you name it. I think Giuliani at
Speaker 1: this point is just like a bad publicist more than
Speaker 1: a lawyer, because he just says just like things where
Speaker 1: it's like like a like a publicist was like, hey,
Speaker 1: he's also an actor he does acting like it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh he could andre this is you're just saying stuff
Speaker 1: that you and then he repeats it like a drunk
Speaker 1: where it's just like an all night We're just like
Speaker 1: not like a drunk because he's drunk. Now, I was
Speaker 1: just saying I was just giving him an allegedly got it.
Speaker 1: The one interesting is that like and like, Rudy and
Speaker 1: Trump have found their perfect like equals, Like they're both
Speaker 1: as have the same tether to reality as the other one,
Speaker 1: So they just feed off of each other and like
Speaker 1: the worst collaboration you've fucking ever seen in your life
Speaker 1: that gets nothing done because all of their ship is
Speaker 1: just like man, like, can you imagine, like what if
Speaker 1: we got Joe Biden out and like, yeah, man going
Speaker 1: to go and fucking do some fucking Ukrainian uh muck
Speaker 1: raking or something. It's like it and and nothing ends
Speaker 1: up actually substantive because every they're I don't know, like
Speaker 1: they're just so governed by what the optics are of
Speaker 1: what they doing, not with the actual substances or how
Speaker 1: they could even execute a plan that they would conceive it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly. It feels like high school kids,
Speaker 1: like the hierarchy of high school where it's like they've
Speaker 1: went through every other click and being kicked out of
Speaker 1: every other click, and everybody's just like, I just can't
Speaker 1: put up with that guy, and then other people, and
Speaker 1: then and then and then you're driving through town and
Speaker 1: you see those two hanging together and everybody's like, of
Speaker 1: course they're friends. Yeah, yeah, Um, they're jousting on dirt
Speaker 1: bikes and with pitchforks. I don't know how this ends, well,
Speaker 1: but that's them, you know, that's their thing. Even without
Speaker 1: the you know, even the conservative side of the mainstream
Speaker 1: media buying any literally anything they're talking about, Sydney Pale
Speaker 1: is still like, well, uh, none of this is going
Speaker 1: to be necessary for him to pardon himself because we uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna win. We have we're gonna win a second
Speaker 1: uh yeah. And then the crack and stuff was really
Speaker 1: spinning out of control with there was allegedly a c
Speaker 1: I A shootout in Germany to retrieve servers that prove
Speaker 1: that there was cheating in the election, and they will
Speaker 1: be released imminently. It's just really like a lot of
Speaker 1: constant cult leader who predicts that the end of the
Speaker 1: world is tomorrow like stuff going on where it doesn't end,
Speaker 1: and they just managed to keep the ball spinning. I
Speaker 1: just want to see after he says some stuff like that,
Speaker 1: a like a just a jump clip to actual Tom
Speaker 1: Clancy just looking at the camera, just shaking his head like, now, yeah,
Speaker 1: not how this this is not how this works, you guys, well,
Speaker 1: speaking of things just spinning out of control, the guy
Speaker 1: went on sixty minutes over the weekend. Chris Creb's former
Speaker 1: head of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency Sissa Uh and lifelong
Speaker 1: Republican you know, went on him was just like said
Speaker 1: what we all know to be true, right that, Like
Speaker 1: there wasn't that this was a pretty above the board
Speaker 1: election and the everything Trump is saying is made up
Speaker 1: and just based on his ego and his inability, uh
Speaker 1: inability to accept his loss taking take it had the
Speaker 1: tone of somebody being like, listen, I wish there was
Speaker 1: because my job would have I wish I would Just
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to do. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to I want to get in to fight, but
Speaker 1: I've been trying to fight and I like to fight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this ship is pretty boring. Yeah, but anyways, Joe did Jenneva.
Speaker 1: Who who is that? He's one of the spearheads man
Speaker 1: of Trump's scam legal team, Like you know, he was
Speaker 1: there for being there for everything. He's like one of
Speaker 1: the people who followed the same mold of I'll scream
Speaker 1: just nonsense on Fox Voice and then I'll eventually be
Speaker 1: working with the president. It's like easier than like going
Speaker 1: from upright citizens brigade to like like fucking you know,
Speaker 1: workplace mockumentary show, like they're the way they're You're like,
Speaker 1: oh right, you do that for a little bit and
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, you're there. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: he was on news Max talking about Chris Crabs and said, quote,
Speaker 1: anybody who thinks that this election went well, like that
Speaker 1: idiot Krebs. He used to be the head of cybersecurity.
Speaker 1: That guy is a class a moron. He should be
Speaker 1: drawn and quartered, taken out at dawn and shot. So
Speaker 1: the host of the show was like, oh, come on, Joe,
Speaker 1: and then just kind of pivoted to something else. News
Speaker 1: Max was like, that's a little much. We like to
Speaker 1: take the news to the max, but you have stepped
Speaker 1: beyond it. Yeah, in a satirical way. But I guess
Speaker 1: our viewers don't realize this is satire yet. Um. But
Speaker 1: the whole thing was yeah, okay, yeah, I'm just say yeah,
Speaker 1: there's one producer. Oh ship, I guess there is a line.
Speaker 1: I guess there is, right, I guess I got crossed off.
Speaker 1: I guess we got one. Yeah, okay, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: because we have on all of our fecur FCC filing,
Speaker 1: we're telling people this isn't a news channel, but whatever. Um.
Speaker 1: The whole thing with this group that was like, once
Speaker 1: this clip, this clip came out and was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this dude is calling for an execution of someone,
Speaker 1: someone from the president's sucking legal team. Um. And when
Speaker 1: they people asked Crabs for comment, he clapped back, sort
Speaker 1: of legally speaking, he said, quote, the way I look
Speaker 1: at it is we are a nation of laws, and
Speaker 1: I plan to take it take advantage of those laws.
Speaker 1: I've got an exceptional team of lawyers that win in court,
Speaker 1: and I think they're probably going to be busy. And
Speaker 1: just was like just as smooth as cool as you like,
Speaker 1: said it like that. And then Savannah Guthrie he was
Speaker 1: on like and what did that the Today Show. She
Speaker 1: followed up and she's like, are you concerned for your
Speaker 1: safety at all? Because you know this is following a
Speaker 1: pattern of people who have been protecting our elections getting
Speaker 1: death threats and shipped like that. He responded, quote, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to give them the benefit of knowing how
Speaker 1: I'm reacting to this. They can know that there are
Speaker 1: things coming, though, So I don't know, like that's just
Speaker 1: some weird like lawyer and it's it's it's freaky, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's basically saying like I'm lawyer the funk up Joe
Speaker 1: Joe to Genevo, and I'm not gonna take your TV
Speaker 1: threats lightly. So, I mean, we'll see what happens. Maybe
Speaker 1: Joe de Genevo get a pardon, you know, uh, well
Speaker 1: other people who are probably uh quaking in their boots
Speaker 1: right now. Connor McGregor, um, yeah because And other important news,
Speaker 1: Jake Paul is feeling himself after knocking Nate Robinson now
Speaker 1: and is apparently in talks to quote fuck Connor McGregor up.
Speaker 1: I honestly know, um no, let me just I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna play a clip he was. He gave an interview
Speaker 1: to TMZ Sports where he's like, yeah, you know he
Speaker 1: first he was very actually very respectful of Nate Robinson.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you know, we were fighting, he got
Speaker 1: knocked out. I don't think that's any reason for people
Speaker 1: to make fun of him or whatever, Like I respect
Speaker 1: him as a competitor, like and I'm grateful for the fight,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He didn't like, you know, dunk on
Speaker 1: him or anything like that. And then they pivoted to
Speaker 1: this idea of the conom record fight, and he was
Speaker 1: very like Coise like, yeah, you know, my we're we're
Speaker 1: talking are my managers talking to his manager right now
Speaker 1: and we're seeing what's happening. But then he starts like
Speaker 1: he gets a little momentum, as it were, on the
Speaker 1: feeling myself express and he's just kind of like but yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm for real though, I'm the real deal though, Like,
Speaker 1: don't think this is some publicity ship. So the Jake
Speaker 1: Paul vers McGregor fight is going to happen and just
Speaker 1: a matter of when, and uh, it's gonna be legendary
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna win too, Like that's that's That's what
Speaker 1: I really want people to understand is and I told
Speaker 1: my friends this. I was like, guys, this is gonna happen.
Speaker 1: But not only that, Like, I'm going to dedicate my
Speaker 1: life to winning that fight, because I'm not just going
Speaker 1: in there just to fucking say I did it. I'm
Speaker 1: going in there to fucking fun McGregor up. Oh, I
Speaker 1: mean here's the thing to defend. Yeah, Well, you gotta
Speaker 1: have that confidence, you without a doubt. If you were
Speaker 1: in a way considering stepping in the ring with that dude,
Speaker 1: you have to believe you and folded his ass up
Speaker 1: like a church folding table. You just have to be
Speaker 1: like I You're goddamn right. You better dedicate your life
Speaker 1: to fighting him, because that's what he's already done with
Speaker 1: his life. He wasn't YouTube, and he wasn't he wasn't.
Speaker 1: That motherfucker is Irish, and he was fighting before it
Speaker 1: was profitable for him, just because that's what they do. Right.
Speaker 1: What do you think on YouTube? Does YouTube blocker does
Speaker 1: have parallel skills with fighting Connor McGregor. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: he seems he's a wrestler, But I mean that's what
Speaker 1: I said. I love the confidence because on its face
Speaker 1: to hear Jake Paul being like yeah, I'm going in there.
Speaker 1: The fun Connor McGregor up is hilarious to me. But yes,
Speaker 1: there's no way you can have any just as a competitor.
Speaker 1: There's no way you could go into any competition and
Speaker 1: be like, I don't know how long gonna do. If
Speaker 1: you don't back yourself a percent, you're not gonna do well.
Speaker 1: But all that to say is I love hearing someone
Speaker 1: like Jake Paul saying this ship because I don't I
Speaker 1: can't imagine how this will end up, and I'm not
Speaker 1: ready for my Bengo card to have a new square
Speaker 1: that says Jake Paul is a new Jake Lamano or
Speaker 1: like the fucking pugilism goat of all time suddenly. So
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I would pay money
Speaker 1: to watch that fight just to watch this dude get
Speaker 1: folded up. Um. One thing he said in that interview,
Speaker 1: he said, no other fighter with this big of a
Speaker 1: platform is calling out McGregor. My dogs have more followers
Speaker 1: than the guy he's fighting in January, So he believes
Speaker 1: that follows right. Well, I think what he believes that
Speaker 1: followers somehow and social media cloud translate to him being
Speaker 1: a better fighter. He's still thinking like a YouTuber, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Let's think no, no, no, he
Speaker 1: is thinking like Don Kane, right, So he's not wrong.
Speaker 1: It's just weird that fighters. It's weird that the fighter
Speaker 1: is the one running is also running the promotion. That's
Speaker 1: what where That's what's throwing all of us off on
Speaker 1: this one. And also he's in it for the money.
Speaker 1: He'll McGregor will fight somebody whoever he's supposed to fight,
Speaker 1: and then McGregor will quit for a while and Jake
Speaker 1: Paul will run his fucking mouth for a couple of
Speaker 1: years and get in and getting my ass whooked and
Speaker 1: being okay shape, because that's what he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: get in. Like if they fought tomorrow, he would kill him.
Speaker 1: Because did you hear Tyson? Did you hear them talk
Speaker 1: about Roy Jones Jr. Who was like like Tyson was
Speaker 1: fucking with him. Yeah, I didn't see that. I didn't
Speaker 1: see the fight, but I heard about that yet. That
Speaker 1: that's the thing, Like Tyson, still at whatever years old,
Speaker 1: is a murdered killing machine, right literally probably like Jones Jr.
Speaker 1: Popped him in the forehead good and instead of going
Speaker 1: back Tyson took a step forward and you can see
Speaker 1: it in Roy and like James Jr. Is like still
Speaker 1: breathing hard after the fight because he's taking body shots
Speaker 1: and he said he's like I thought I was strong
Speaker 1: enough to tell he's like, but this is that dude's
Speaker 1: a fucking animal. And that's before the fight, yes, and
Speaker 1: my Jshon is just standing there and Tyson's like, yo,
Speaker 1: I mean, what do we do? I mean we've spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time on this show talking about like
Speaker 1: Jordan's pique. Jordan, what a great athlete. Jordan was like
Speaker 1: how next level? The most exciting athlete I've ever watched
Speaker 1: in my life was Peekee Mike Tyson when I was
Speaker 1: like seven eight years old. We would like grow the
Speaker 1: first my dad's friend's house and like get the fight.
Speaker 1: And when that motherfucker was walking into the ring against
Speaker 1: like Spinks, like that ship was so exciting and just
Speaker 1: like unbelievably skilled, Uh next level. Just watching him box
Speaker 1: and slow motion is incredible. Maybe Jake Paush fight Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1: If he do not, he would die. It's like when
Speaker 1: but when Butter Beane punched Johnny Knox, Oh God, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying about Jake Paul fighting Connor McGregor, it's
Speaker 1: like he would have to get in, take a punch
Speaker 1: and your pick shape, just take it. He's been fighting amateurs,
Speaker 1: well if it would be boxing, because like there's no
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what that would look like
Speaker 1: if it was a full on octagon fight. But to
Speaker 1: watch that, I would like to I would love to
Speaker 1: watch that. I always love to see assholes who I
Speaker 1: don't like actually get served a full long ass whooping
Speaker 1: my favorite genre of entertainment. But with this is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's you also take your feelings of momentum with it
Speaker 1: at about a whole thing of Morton salt. Because again, sir,
Speaker 1: you fi k s I who's another YouTuber and you
Speaker 1: want and your fire fucking Nate Robinson with the hype
Speaker 1: difference is just stupid. It's not a professional fighter, and
Speaker 1: don't think that that's gonna translate suddenly to a fighting
Speaker 1: a professional fighter. But again I love the confidence. Uh
Speaker 1: and please you know the karma gods, do what you
Speaker 1: gotta do. Keep it coming, Please keep it coming, all right, uh,
Speaker 1: Billy way, And it's been a pleasure having you as always.
Speaker 1: Where can people find you and follow you just Google
Speaker 1: Billy Wayne Davis and I meant whatever social thing you
Speaker 1: want to follow me at. And also I have a
Speaker 1: very very wonderful cannabis podcast that I'm proud of called
Speaker 1: Grown Local. It's on all the things. What we do
Speaker 1: is we go around interviewing the growers. So we're trying
Speaker 1: to we're trying to get rid of the stigma of
Speaker 1: of cannabis by showing you the people that bring it
Speaker 1: to you. And they're just farmers and normal people who've
Speaker 1: been fighting a really cool fight for a long time.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, um, is there a tweeter or some
Speaker 1: of the work of social media you've been enjoying? Oh man,
Speaker 1: I got a couple of tweets here, uh Dan Wickles Wicks,
Speaker 1: Dan Wicks who I don't really know who that is,
Speaker 1: but I saw it retweeted, said Malcolm Gladwell was on
Speaker 1: the Epstein Flat log. He believes women hit their peak
Speaker 1: at ten thousand hours. Oh man. And then the other
Speaker 1: one I liked was Blair Sachi. Uh is that guy's favorite?
Speaker 1: Love to start my day with a plant based smoothie
Speaker 1: and follow it up with a quick package of salami
Speaker 1: as a former athlete. I very much relate to that.
Speaker 1: I believe she does that. She has a really she's
Speaker 1: a was like a D one college volleyball player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she plays it down, but she played at u c.
Speaker 1: L A, which is like one of the best agram
Speaker 1: in the country too. Yeah, she basically played football for Alabama.
Speaker 1: She's like, she's just like a great athlete. That's amazing. Miles,
Speaker 1: where can people find you? What the tweet you've been enjoying? Twitter?
Speaker 1: Instagram Miles of Gray four Day Fiance if you want
Speaker 1: to hear you know that reality shit talking? Uh? Tweet
Speaker 1: alight comes from Jabari Ali Davis at Jabari Davis n
Speaker 1: b A uh. For the Dexter fans out there, this
Speaker 1: one really resonated with me. Dexter ended after season four
Speaker 1: with Rita in the tub. The rest was just a
Speaker 1: fever dream we all experienced. Never happened, And I've never
Speaker 1: felt this more because it really you After that season,
Speaker 1: You're like, how could it go higher? And it didn't.
Speaker 1: It didn't didn't. It went straight down the fucking drain.
Speaker 1: It was like awful. I mean, my uncle worked on
Speaker 1: that show and I was even like, well, what the
Speaker 1: fun was that? Bro? Like that got the season the series.
Speaker 1: But I mean, look, he's not you know, he wasn't
Speaker 1: the fucking wright or whatever. But like, I know, you
Speaker 1: guys are probably like fucking mad at this, right because
Speaker 1: that John Lithgal season was amazing anyway, So all that
Speaker 1: to say, Dexter I believe is coming back, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how I'm feeling about it, but you're right,
Speaker 1: that tweet is so right. I didn't know I felt
Speaker 1: this strongly about it, but that's I love that show.
Speaker 1: And after after season four, you're like, what, especially the
Speaker 1: one with Edward James, almost like this this this dude
Speaker 1: was a fucking ghost the hole. Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: just wasted the whole season on anyway, So I don't
Speaker 1: give a fun spoilers for Dexter after what you're worrying.
Speaker 1: I think that was one of the first shows that
Speaker 1: we started realizing that people could be like, I think
Speaker 1: you just do three seasons. That's the story, right, because
Speaker 1: it used to be like we're gonna keep this going
Speaker 1: until the dump truck full of money leaves, right, and
Speaker 1: then fuck it, like if we've completely vaporized upon re
Speaker 1: entry because the work is so bad, fuck it. We
Speaker 1: gotta got truck full of money. I got that money truck,
Speaker 1: so I'm on go. I don't have to do stuff anymore.
Speaker 1: That's such a weird show for them to be bringing back,
Speaker 1: as it's like a show that is famous for having
Speaker 1: like the worst ending of all time for a good show.
Speaker 1: They're like, you know what more whatever of this? Well
Speaker 1: that's the American way right there. You know it would
Speaker 1: be better more more. Yeah, I just make us money. Marginally.
Speaker 1: Have we done more yet? Uh? Some tweets I've been enjoying.
Speaker 1: Morgan Parker tweeter It's gonna be so embarrassing when I
Speaker 1: still want to cancel plans and stay home and I
Speaker 1: feel that. Uh. Just Wick tweeted that picture of Steven
Speaker 1: Miller and his new baby holding his new baby and
Speaker 1: said weird that Stephen Miller waited until today to post
Speaker 1: a photo of his Thanksgiving meal, and then Meredith at
Speaker 1: Deeps Meredith tweeted, No, they're not symptoms of depression in
Speaker 1: their blues clues. Um, I like that. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: a cute way to think about. Man, are symptoms of depression? Uh? Uh?
