Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one, episode two
Speaker 1: of US Sir, Episode two and a half. Kind of

Speaker 1: hours before we drop it. It's election day, motherfucker's uh
Speaker 1: stay up to date whatever this thing is. Yeah, yeah, uh.
Speaker 1: This is a production by Heart Radio. It's a podcast
Speaker 1: where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness,
Speaker 1: which I think is just like a steady, low boil
Speaker 1: of panic. H No matter who you are right now. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: it's that feeling when you have to pee but you
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna shift yourself at the same time,
Speaker 1: and it's very tense and you don't know which way
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. I can tell you which way it's
Speaker 1: gone for me. Um. It's Tuesday, November. My name is

Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of things we're covering. Um. First
Speaker 1: thing we're covering, how about how early it's getting dark?
Speaker 1: I right, I just want to avoid talking about it.
Speaker 1: What's this deal with this daylight savings topical? I honestly
Speaker 1: do feel like they fucked something up because the last
Speaker 1: two Daylight Savings times feel just like it's getting dark
Speaker 1: way too early. I think our sense of our sense
Speaker 1: of time is just so skewed now compared to every
Speaker 1: other year that now, because you know, you're pretty much
Speaker 1: in the same place versus having all these markers of
Speaker 1: like when the day is ending or beginning and things
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, but Johnny Sun is right, it's four pm.
Speaker 1: It's dark best too early. Anyways, we'll talk about that
Speaker 1: and probably some other ship. No, just kidding. Its Election day.
Speaker 1: We have some good news about mail in ballots. We
Speaker 1: got some things to keep your eye on. We got
Speaker 1: some bad news about robo calls. We got a general
Speaker 1: timeline of like when we're gonna know ship. Uh, we've
Speaker 1: got if we know anything really right? Yeah yeah, if
Speaker 1: is probably the operative word. L A is reacting like
Speaker 1: a hurricane is coming, just with grocery stores, shelves just
Speaker 1: being cleared the funk out and yeah, so we'll talk
Speaker 1: about all of that plenty more, But first we are
Speaker 1: thrilled to be joined in our third sea by the hilarious,
Speaker 1: the brilliant open Mike Ego. Wow, thank you that was
Speaker 1: Those are great adjectives. I love how you all commit
Speaker 1: to those those songs that the people send in for
Speaker 1: you guys. Yeah, you guys, really, you guys really put
Speaker 1: your heart and soul into them, even if you don't
Speaker 1: all the way believe in the material. I thank you. Thanks,
Speaker 1: that's what the professionals do. Yeah. Yeah, speaking of the material,
Speaker 1: you have a new album that new fucking great. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's called NIME Trauma and Divorce and it's half sad
Speaker 1: and half me trying to make jokes about sadness, and
Speaker 1: um yeah, some people say it's timely. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: very it feels very timely. Uh yeah, you talk about
Speaker 1: being exhausted. You said at one point you said it's
Speaker 1: October and I'm exhausted, And yeah, I say it's. But
Speaker 1: the wild thing about that is I wrote it in
Speaker 1: Octobe over twenty nine. That's the scary thing about that. Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow Yeah. All right, Well, Mike, we like task our guests.
Speaker 1: What is something from your search history that is revealing
Speaker 1: about who you are? Oh? Let me look at my
Speaker 1: search history real fast. Let me see what I got here.
Speaker 1: Best graphics card is the most recent one. I've decided
Speaker 1: I'm gonna build a PC game, uh as a as
Speaker 1: a way to give my hands something to be busy
Speaker 1: with so that I can process all my dark thoughts.
Speaker 1: Right are you? Have you had a gaming PC before?
Speaker 1: This is your first foray into the gaming PC adventure.
Speaker 1: It'll be my first gaming PC. When I was a teenager,
Speaker 1: I used to funking around my PC all the time
Speaker 1: and add shipped to it and upgrade ship and sunk
Speaker 1: it up by accident. Um. So I have like a
Speaker 1: basic understanding of how everything fits together. And now there's
Speaker 1: like literally ten million YouTube videos telling exactly what to do.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty It seems like it will be pretty easy.
Speaker 1: It'll it'll be a nice meditative activity. Yeah. Are you
Speaker 1: strictly PC or do you like funk with consoles? Well,
Speaker 1: I am a console junkie, but I can't get a
Speaker 1: PS five because there's not enough of them apparently. So um,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna build a PC and pretend it's PS five,
Speaker 1: Maybe put a little anime costume on it, and just
Speaker 1: buy like the outer skins that they have for PS five.
Speaker 1: He's put on the sides of your game five. They
Speaker 1: probably performed better anyway, so probably probably, you know, probably.
Speaker 1: I do want a PS five though, but I am
Speaker 1: I am quite tired of knocking my head against the
Speaker 1: wall of trying to pre order one when they seemingly
Speaker 1: just don't exist. Yeah. DJ Daniel on our show he
Speaker 1: tried to put the car in his car, the pre
Speaker 1: order and the controller checked out. Only got the controller.
Speaker 1: Oh that is he's been doing his flex honest with stunting,
Speaker 1: honest with his PS five controller. There is my clockwork.
Speaker 1: It looks cool. It's cool man. Oh, so does that
Speaker 1: go to your PS Oh never mind, never mind, it's
Speaker 1: a cool controller though. He just twitched streams himself pretending
Speaker 1: to play is my is my gaming feed not coming in? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm frushing, He's like playing dig Doug. What is something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? Uh? Fargo. I think the television
Speaker 1: show Fargo is underrated. I think it's it's always different
Speaker 1: every season, but it's always really good and um yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think this season is really fucking great. So
Speaker 1: I think it's it's being underrated because nobody's talking about it,
Speaker 1: like they was talking about Tiger King and that that's
Speaker 1: sort of bullshit, is right right? It's I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one show I always here, I'm always being
Speaker 1: told to watch, and I just haven't gotten around to it,
Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, tonight might be the night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's rough. I mean, if have you seen any of
Speaker 1: it at all? Well, and yes, since it's completely different
Speaker 1: every season, I think it can make people feel like
Speaker 1: it's hard to jump. I don't mind anything like that.
Speaker 1: Life is life is chaotic enough? Yeah? Yeah, man, it's
Speaker 1: it's real good though, and I recommend it to people
Speaker 1: who like good things. When you say every season is different,
Speaker 1: you're saying that it's a whole new set of characters
Speaker 1: an entirely new story just but it's still in Fargo. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's not always even in Fargo. It's all in
Speaker 1: the Midwest. Indiana's places and characters have like implied generation
Speaker 1: generational relationship. Sometimes they're overt generation. Oh this is this
Speaker 1: person's dad or you know. But the it's it's not
Speaker 1: a continuous story in any sense. It's every season is
Speaker 1: kind of its own thing that it's like the wire
Speaker 1: if they were even less related. Like you you can
Speaker 1: hop in on a season and feel like you're just
Speaker 1: watching a stand right thing, but then you can go
Speaker 1: back and watch the other seasons and feel like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I see how this all ties together. I just rewatched
Speaker 1: Top Boy completely out of sequence again, and I was like,
Speaker 1: it's still fine because I was still kind of remembering
Speaker 1: bits and pieces. So I'm fine with little Chaos watch. Yeah. Yeah, Um,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Beer? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think beer is overrated as a concept. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think people like it too much. I think I
Speaker 1: think it's not as good as people say it is,
Speaker 1: and we should all get real about how beer is nasty.
Speaker 1: But like just drinking a just any old beer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's like a stupid way to drinks, to
Speaker 1: drink too much of some low level thing. It just
Speaker 1: fills you up. Yeah, yeah, you just sucking pissing all night. Man.
Speaker 1: It's not fun. But efficiency, efficiency exactly exactly, I think
Speaker 1: the only thing. Yeah, because the more I have started,
Speaker 1: Like when I buy beer, I always like, I think
Speaker 1: would make a michelotto or something like, I'll drink it
Speaker 1: like that because that feels like more of an adventure,
Speaker 1: but it's gone. Or the days when I'm like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: grabble a fucking eighteen rack okay, also gone in general. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And also it feels like a bummer too when you
Speaker 1: see somebody bring it over, like someone's like, yo, brother,
Speaker 1: fucking I'm like, bro, I don't. Also not in the
Speaker 1: drinking mood, like I'm mostly smoking now, but sure, I
Speaker 1: guess I'll have one beer and then be like I
Speaker 1: don't know, I think I think I'm done. It's gross. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like eating a loaf of bread. Yeah, hey, you
Speaker 1: want to come over and each eat like three, just
Speaker 1: eat bread until we can't some dough balls. Um. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's get into what is happening right now as we speak.
Speaker 1: It is early afternoon East host time late morning Pacific.
Speaker 1: We don't know shit yet, just don't know. We just
Speaker 1: don't know ship period. We're dumb people. Um no, we're
Speaker 1: so it's still well before uh any results are coming
Speaker 1: in seven pm Eastern is the closest we're going to
Speaker 1: get to knowing anything about anything. Until then, it's just
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of projection. What are we gonna
Speaker 1: know then around like seven eastern, Well, and then we'll
Speaker 1: get a better idea of when they start, you know,
Speaker 1: when the polls closed and we start seeing some semblance
Speaker 1: of vote counts look like, and then begin the extrapolation
Speaker 1: of whether there's going to be a shift or whether
Speaker 1: or not you know, who's outperforming who, and then the
Speaker 1: panic analysis will begin all around. So this is this
Speaker 1: was helpful for me to know, is that there are
Speaker 1: three hours and forty minutes where we didn't have like
Speaker 1: any of the battle ground states called yet. It was
Speaker 1: just like low level panic. So at se then Eastern
Speaker 1: they closed, Yeah, talking about in sixteen they closed the polls.
Speaker 1: There was like some bad early exit poll data, but
Speaker 1: for the most part we didn't really know ship. And
Speaker 1: then the first sign that when it was like openly
Speaker 1: like Trump's probably gonna win was ten forty, So like
Speaker 1: there's three hours forty minutes where you actually like don't
Speaker 1: really need to be paying attention, Like you can just
Speaker 1: like tune in at like eight o'clock Pacific, eleven Eastern
Speaker 1: and just get all your panicking done in in one
Speaker 1: fell swoop. Uh. You know that's assuming that it goes
Speaker 1: the same as last time. It might be even slower
Speaker 1: than the last time. Or you know the fact that
Speaker 1: some of these states have been collecting and counting mail
Speaker 1: in votes for the past couple of weeks might make
Speaker 1: it go faster, but then that might be misleading. So
Speaker 1: who the funds? They say, Florida is a big deal,
Speaker 1: right because they've been counting already and it's a pretty
Speaker 1: big swing state that has the potential to go to Biden,
Speaker 1: and I guess if it does, then Trump's kind of fucked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So it's in that group of Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio,
Speaker 1: and Iowa are these toss up states that Biden doesn't
Speaker 1: need to win to win. But if Biden wins one
Speaker 1: of those, that is going to begin to be a
Speaker 1: problem for Trump in terms of the wacky, fucked up
Speaker 1: electoral college that decides those states are like the low
Speaker 1: level scratchers, where you're just like, okay, if I get
Speaker 1: even if I hit just one of these, I'm still
Speaker 1: in business. Yeah, but like you know what, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is good enough to buy another scratcher. Keep going, keep going,
Speaker 1: keep going, keep chasing the dragon. The one piece of
Speaker 1: good news we've gotten is that it seems like they're
Speaker 1: having fewer rejected ballots coming in. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think because there's been such an emphasis on these early votes,
Speaker 1: these mail in ballots. The reporting is that usually they'll
Speaker 1: reject a ballot for any kind of error, like the
Speaker 1: signatures don't line up or whatever. For whatever reason. Now
Speaker 1: that sort of share of those ballots has been very low.
Speaker 1: We know what the reason is. It's it's all the
Speaker 1: videos of celebrities being naked, right right right. Of course,
Speaker 1: they taught us how to sign our names properly, because
Speaker 1: because Mark Ruffalo told us how, you know, thank you Mark,
Speaker 1: everybody was scrambling to see Mark Ruffalo naked. I've been
Speaker 1: I've been pushing for that for a long time, and uh,
Speaker 1: finally finally happened for me and you finally voted for
Speaker 1: the first time, so it all worked out. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know a lot of people are saying, like
Speaker 1: that's a good sign that you know, they're not seeing
Speaker 1: just massive numbers of votes being rejected because I think
Speaker 1: a lot of what we've been here, especially from the
Speaker 1: Trump and conservatives, of like, oh, you know, these ballots
Speaker 1: are flawed, they're gonna get thrown out, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: They're projecting, you know, trying to say this is going
Speaker 1: to happen. But what we're seeing is there that is
Speaker 1: not the trend um. So that's that's a decent bit
Speaker 1: of good news along with like you know, in Harris County,
Speaker 1: those driving ballots are also being counted, even though there's
Speaker 1: a conservative Bush appointee judge looking over that case where
Speaker 1: people are very scared about that. So that's in Texas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was in Texas. So what's the so I it
Speaker 1: seems like we had a couple courts. This feels like
Speaker 1: Obamacare going through the court and it's like, yes, we
Speaker 1: fended them off again, and then it's like two weeks
Speaker 1: later they're like, Okay, now now is the real test
Speaker 1: for Obamacare? And the Supreme Court like, what what is
Speaker 1: going on with the Harris County votes? I thought we
Speaker 1: had won that one. Yeah, well, the officials in Harris
Speaker 1: County actually closed the drive through polls. They closed nine
Speaker 1: out of the ten because they're just like, fuck it,
Speaker 1: we we can't even we don't even want to play
Speaker 1: with the possibility of getting sued again, So let's cut
Speaker 1: the number down so it can be as above were
Speaker 1: not not that it isn't above board, but having as
Speaker 1: full proof uh you know of of you know, a
Speaker 1: process as possible, not to say that there was even
Speaker 1: wrong with having to tame up. But they're so shook
Speaker 1: by these lawsuits. They're like, fucking man, Okay, we got
Speaker 1: through that one. Let's not the Democratic parties like typical
Speaker 1: ship where they're just like, yeah, well they made the accusations,
Speaker 1: so we have to take it seriously, and then the
Speaker 1: Republicans just control them by making wild ass accusations. But
Speaker 1: in terms of where it is in the court system,
Speaker 1: like there's still yet another chance for a judge to
Speaker 1: funk with it. No, I mean that I think that's
Speaker 1: settled for the moment, but I think it's like anything,
Speaker 1: they're ready to file lawsuits, sucking anywhere over anything. So
Speaker 1: it's you know, that's why everyone's like, who knows what
Speaker 1: moment they're going to try something like that. Apparently there's
Speaker 1: been some ship with the Postal Service to right where
Speaker 1: they're not delivering all of the ballots. It's been slowing
Speaker 1: down like terribly. So you know, my my conspiracy brain
Speaker 1: is wondering now since um, since there's some people in
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, is seem to be a pre set
Speaker 1: to disallow allets that are received after um election day?
Speaker 1: You know, I wonder if that's if that's uh Garga
Speaker 1: Mill's secret Trump card. You know what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: too Oh, I got the Postal Service in my pocket,
Speaker 1: so I could just make sure that uh these votes
Speaker 1: don't get counted and I can have my Supreme Court
Speaker 1: cronies back that dumb sh it up. Yeah, alright, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break. We're gonna come back and find
Speaker 1: out how Trump kicked off his morning. And we're back,
Speaker 1: and you know, we were talking about self care and
Speaker 1: how you might want to just like stick to your routine.
Speaker 1: Superproducer a Hosnier was saying on this morning's episode, She's
Speaker 1: just gonna stick to her routine, and uh, Trump did
Speaker 1: the same thing. He must have heard that episode, because
Speaker 1: he called into Fox and Friends just like he always does. Actually,
Speaker 1: but he sounded beat up a little bit. Dude. He
Speaker 1: So you know, he normally calls in and he'll talk
Speaker 1: for fucking oh at least an hour. At least we've
Speaker 1: heard him when he starts freestyling up there and he's like,
Speaker 1: I don't you know, saying all kinds of weird shit. Um.
Speaker 1: He So they're like, hey, he's gonna be here at
Speaker 1: seven am. Seven am. He didn't call into like forty
Speaker 1: five minutes in and then when he calls just listen
Speaker 1: to this man. So I just want to say on
Speaker 1: like on some more conservative news outlets, they described his
Speaker 1: call in this morning. I'm not gonna say who, but
Speaker 1: they were saying, uh, Trump begins election day with confident
Speaker 1: predictions on Fox News. Now, I want you to keep
Speaker 1: that in mind when you listen to him actually call
Speaker 1: in to Fox News on the morning of election day.
Speaker 1: How do you feel today in on election day as
Speaker 1: opposed to well, we feel very good. We have crowds
Speaker 1: that nobody's ever had before. Said, I think you can agree.
Speaker 1: It's it's been incredible. The crowds have been incredible, and
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's ever had it before. And so I
Speaker 1: think that translates into a lot of votes and we're
Speaker 1: going to see very soon. But we're getting very good response.
Speaker 1: You know, we're got to get very early response. Just mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know what is he just tilted off the
Speaker 1: night quill or something. He said he just got through
Speaker 1: Hawk and Luis into a bucket for the past twenty
Speaker 1: years before he got on that call dire uh, And
Speaker 1: he continued to exude confidence, um with this just I
Speaker 1: just want to just put this line very neatly. This
Speaker 1: is as he's talking, he's very optimistic about his chances.
Speaker 1: Yet he says things like this, and it's been you know,
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a great Uh, it's been a
Speaker 1: great run. It's been a great, great run. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he means like it's been a great campaign,
Speaker 1: which we win and you know, shout out to everybody
Speaker 1: who But it seemed like he was choosing his words
Speaker 1: carefully there too. He was like, it's been a great Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess I'll say it. It's been a great run.
Speaker 1: Like he he sounds just complete, really mashed, and then
Speaker 1: then he goes on you know, he does say as
Speaker 1: you just continues, it's like very slow, lethargic periods about
Speaker 1: They asked him, you know, like what's up? So you know,
Speaker 1: when are you gonna call the victory? You know, like
Speaker 1: they're like putting on a platforum. When are you gonna
Speaker 1: sunk this whole thing up? And the answers h with
Speaker 1: just a very somber answer, at what point will you
Speaker 1: declare victory? When victory his victory? I think I think
Speaker 1: we'll have victory. The polls are you know, suppression polls,
Speaker 1: and I think we'll have victory. But only when there's victory.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's no reason to play games.
Speaker 1: What is he talking about? Man? I mean I think
Speaker 1: so it sounds like Fox News was teeing him up
Speaker 1: to be like, I'm gonna declare victory when like at midnight,
Speaker 1: if I'm in the lead, like trying to you know.
Speaker 1: That was the hope on the conservative side was that
Speaker 1: he was going to if he had a polling lead
Speaker 1: in a state like at midnight on election night, he
Speaker 1: was just gonna be like, victory, I won Uh, Sleepy
Speaker 1: Joe's too sleepy to call me to concede. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: instead he sounded just like I don't know, he just
Speaker 1: sounds if I called and and sounded like that, Like
Speaker 1: if I called my mom and sounded like that, she
Speaker 1: would be like, I'm getting out. She would be on
Speaker 1: the next plane out, just like, Yo, there's something wrong,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, go to the hospital now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's victory. If if there's victory, you know, there's no
Speaker 1: reason to play games. I was basically pump fake in
Speaker 1: the whole time, so they didn't. Yeah it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's grim. It's really grim. And that's the thing is,
Speaker 1: like it's so unsettling because last time he was he
Speaker 1: was in shock that he had actually won. Uh, And
Speaker 1: then we have like sort of the same energy and
Speaker 1: like normally I'd be like, oh shit, okay, so he
Speaker 1: must know he's probably looking at his most up to
Speaker 1: date numbers knowing there's not the same thing, the same
Speaker 1: sort of you know, influx of new supporters that we
Speaker 1: saw last time around. But even then, like I was
Speaker 1: saying before our last show, you know, rat Fucory is
Speaker 1: the sixth man for Teams Trump, and it can come
Speaker 1: off the bench uh, and completely shift the fucking game.
Speaker 1: So we used Lou Williams as the exact Yeah, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: you know we were talking about it around to go
Speaker 1: to the Strip club to get those wings. He's ready,
Speaker 1: he's active rat is the Conservative Party's Lou will Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think his polls and thirty eight
Speaker 1: last time said he was like one had a one
Speaker 1: in three shot of winning, and he won. This time,
Speaker 1: they're saying one in ten. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: what his internal polls are saying, that's what the pulling
Speaker 1: average eight pulling averages saying. But that's still a chance,
Speaker 1: like cause you imagine being a person on staff who
Speaker 1: has to tell him he's fucking losing every day, and
Speaker 1: you imagine, oh, here's another thing. So you saw he
Speaker 1: had that White House party plan for four hundred people.
Speaker 1: Yeah you saw I got reduced to fifty to day.
Speaker 1: Oh really? Yeah? And I want to know who the
Speaker 1: fun that was? A hundred fifty people who can't come
Speaker 1: no more. They bought plane tickets like they're just like
Speaker 1: sitting there staring at their bank account, like what the
Speaker 1: fuck can I told this I told this woman, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go party up in d C with Trump, like,
Speaker 1: you know, there's somebody it's going to be like getting
Speaker 1: in the club and they're like, hey, I'm sorry, big man,
Speaker 1: you're not on the list. And they're like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I I swear, here's my here's my email confirmation. I
Speaker 1: am here. Is like, look, may not on this list. Man.
Speaker 1: I hate to do this to you. Man. It was
Speaker 1: also funked up. Man, you came in here with three dudes.
Speaker 1: Your girl can come in, but your girl can come
Speaker 1: you know, miss if you'd like to coming. You're more
Speaker 1: than It's like Robert, I thought you said it's fine,
Speaker 1: just sucking, go fucking. At least one of us can go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that'll be interesting to see. That'll be the vibes. Well,
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to a track the vibes as as
Speaker 1: things come in. But yeah, because it's yeah, it's so
Speaker 1: it's so funny just to look at like Polster Twitter
Speaker 1: right now and just the NonStop connections that are they're
Speaker 1: going into, even just by like trying to be like Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at some early numbers here and like, okay,
Speaker 1: this part of Delaware. It's like okay, He's like, don't Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a diarrhea panic fire that we're
Speaker 1: already witnessing has like this, this a pole camera up
Speaker 1: at this spot in Iowa, and it's hilarious because every
Speaker 1: time they cut to it, there's just like one grandma
Speaker 1: and their voting right not matching any of the energy
Speaker 1: of the ticker or the energy of the host is
Speaker 1: just like one you know, little old lady filling out
Speaker 1: a ballot. Yeah, the little like and uh, you know
Speaker 1: the New Hampshire town where there's like six people and
Speaker 1: they their votes are locked in at midnight or the
Speaker 1: first place that we know the votes from every year,
Speaker 1: and all of them voted for Biden. So like I
Speaker 1: woke up and read that, I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, maybe a good omen. And then like there
Speaker 1: was some cookie poll in Pennsylvania that has called the
Speaker 1: last six presidential elections and Trump won that, and I
Speaker 1: was like fuck. Then I just decided to to get
Speaker 1: off of the like stupid uh, you know, individual small
Speaker 1: piece of data predictions and just ignore that ship until
Speaker 1: until we have something that shouldn't be ignored. You know. Um,
Speaker 1: there are some things going on, some just speaking of
Speaker 1: rap foccory. Uh, they're robot calls uh that have apparently
Speaker 1: reached ten million people telling them to stay home for
Speaker 1: their safety. Uh. They're saying it maybe foreign in origin.
Speaker 1: This kind of happens every election, but this one in particular,
Speaker 1: people are a little worried about because of the pandemic
Speaker 1: that we're in the middle of. UM one text that
Speaker 1: a typographical error meant the people who are intending on
Speaker 1: voting for Joe Biden instead had to select President Trump. Uh,
Speaker 1: so hopefully nobody's fallen for that. They also misspelled Federal
Speaker 1: Bureau of Investigation when signing it. They didn't spell bureau right,
Speaker 1: which understand why B y r O W no. But
Speaker 1: I mean they spelled it like I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: Euro is kind of hard to spell, but like they
Speaker 1: spelled it b E r u E. That is not
Speaker 1: how I have misspelled that word many a time in
Speaker 1: anywhere that I didn't have spell check. But that was
Speaker 1: not one of the ways that I've misspelled it from
Speaker 1: sucking star Wars. Okay, you know what amazes me and
Speaker 1: and has continued to fascinate me in this whole process
Speaker 1: is like, who knew there were this many ways to
Speaker 1: funk with an election, and like who knew that it was,
Speaker 1: like like this is this isn't illegal. None of this
Speaker 1: ship's illegal. Like you can just put a fake box
Speaker 1: that says drop vote in here. You can just put
Speaker 1: that there and like nobody gets in trouble for it's
Speaker 1: it is like it it seems very like snightly whiplash,
Speaker 1: like very like cartoon villain kind of act me paint
Speaker 1: paint the paint the highway on the side of the
Speaker 1: mountain type ship that like, I just I just never
Speaker 1: would have thought in a million years that none of
Speaker 1: this ship would result in like federal jail time for
Speaker 1: people to do robo calls that essentially be like yes
Speaker 1: means no, and no means yet go vote, And you're like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck Yes means no, Biden means trump, and
Speaker 1: Trump means what the fund is this yes type graphical
Speaker 1: air man. Sorry, yeah, it just happens. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: the snidey whiplash ness of of the whole Republican Party
Speaker 1: is pretty like it's getting just straight up Like did
Speaker 1: you guys see that video somewhere in California where like
Speaker 1: a bunch of Trump people, like a caravan of Trump
Speaker 1: people surrounded a woman, uh for having a yeah Bakersfield
Speaker 1: for having a Black Lives Matter flag, and we're it
Speaker 1: was like straight up like you know, they were like
Speaker 1: fuck you, like just real like all in her face,
Speaker 1: like inches from her nose, like trying to slap her
Speaker 1: phone out of her hand. Um. But it was like yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, what, this is what it would
Speaker 1: have been like if we had smartphones during the Rise
Speaker 1: of not He's like that, that's what the ship looks like.
Speaker 1: It's just straight up agro people, uh, trying to do
Speaker 1: violence and like a dude like had like the strap
Speaker 1: on him it looked like and she was like, dude,
Speaker 1: you're gonna fuck it. What do you for, Like you're
Speaker 1: trying to fight a woman? And he's like he took
Speaker 1: his vest off like he was gonna square up to her.
Speaker 1: And then another woman's like, well, I'll fight you, bitch,
Speaker 1: and it was like whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. And then
Speaker 1: the the end part of that too, is when she
Speaker 1: tried to talk to the police and they were acting
Speaker 1: like Mariah Carey's being like, oh, I don't know her,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. Oh did something happen. Oh,
Speaker 1: we don't know, oh yeah, we'll let those people go
Speaker 1: that you just said bear mace do yeah, And then
Speaker 1: somebody in her group of friends and the police were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's not there's nothing we can do about that's crazy.
Speaker 1: And I think that's what the future probably is more,
Speaker 1: what our future looks like is where that is just
Speaker 1: the norm of these people being protected because they got
Speaker 1: their Blue Lives Matter stuff on and like yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: well it's we'll turn We'll turn our fucking eye to this.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been happening yea. But to see it that,
Speaker 1: to see how casual they were were they were like
Speaker 1: looking at each other like, hey, are you got anything
Speaker 1: else you guys got The cops are talking each other
Speaker 1: like when she's trying to, you know, basically report this
Speaker 1: crime and be like all right, I think we're good.
Speaker 1: Y'all were leaving and they're like, can we get your badge?
Speaker 1: Just like m muttering it while they funk off. But
Speaker 1: I mean that that is like there seems to be
Speaker 1: a coalition between like whether Trump wins or not, there
Speaker 1: seems to be a coalition between uh A lot of
Speaker 1: local police and the Trump supporters UH in around America
Speaker 1: and that's you know, a pretty dangerous coalition. I feel like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take one more break and uh, we'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back. And one thing that
Speaker 1: we might have talked about him yesterday or this morning episode,
Speaker 1: but just it bears repeating that the Democrats have won
Speaker 1: the popular vote six of the last seven presidential elections. UM.
Speaker 1: The only one that they lost was John Kerry lost
Speaker 1: to w by like two percentage points after nine eleven,
Speaker 1: a uniquely bad candidate. But that's going back to two.
Speaker 1: Republicans have won one of seven, UM, and that you know,
Speaker 1: they have pretty much dominated legislatively, judicially. It's pretty wild
Speaker 1: that I was just looking at a a poll that
Speaker 1: was like putting the how much Biden would need to
Speaker 1: win the popular vote by next to like what their
Speaker 1: chances of are of winning the actual election are. And
Speaker 1: if Biden wins by like seven six to seven points,
Speaker 1: it's chance. But if he wins by four to five points,
Speaker 1: Trump has a temper sent chance of Biden wins by
Speaker 1: three to four points chance. If Biden wins by two
Speaker 1: to three, Trump is more likely to win two to
Speaker 1: three percentage points, and Trump is the more likely to
Speaker 1: win that's how it just fucked up. This whole system
Speaker 1: is like with this electoral call, like, oh yeah, man,
Speaker 1: you're actually second place, but we're gonna give you the
Speaker 1: gold medal because of these new poles we created to
Speaker 1: award our reward minority power and this because it's like
Speaker 1: it you just think people should I mean again, they
Speaker 1: need the electoral college because the conservatives in smaller states
Speaker 1: are like, that's the only way we can fight back
Speaker 1: against progress, which is so fucked up because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, a majority of the country saying
Speaker 1: this is how the country should be letter this is
Speaker 1: the party that should be in power. Yet we're still
Speaker 1: like clinging to this bizarre, you know, just violent fucking
Speaker 1: system we have. Yeah, have you guys been to the
Speaker 1: grocery store in the past, Like I went by a
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's and did a U turn because the line
Speaker 1: was out the back. I've been addicted to instacrt lately. Man.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's a terrible addiction. I get like four
Speaker 1: bags of groceries and it costs like a yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty expensive. But grocery stores are preparing, like
Speaker 1: people are preparing for this election, like a hurricanes coming,
Speaker 1: So that's how you know. Yeah, man, the ropes by
Speaker 1: my house, which is Kroger in the rest of the country, like,
Speaker 1: the shelves are empty, Like it looks like that very
Speaker 1: first time when the schanademic hit. Yeah, and the shutdown happened,
Speaker 1: and like there was like lines wrapping around through the
Speaker 1: parking lot and then once you got in, the shelves
Speaker 1: are empty. For my two year old, oh god, yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: we found we found something. We got the last carton
Speaker 1: of milk. But it's fucking check checked in that you
Speaker 1: got it on stock. Yeah exactly. It's chunky, but it's
Speaker 1: been in touch. It's so Yeah. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's happening elsewhere. I'll be curious to hear from Zeke
Speaker 1: Gang if they're seeing that elsewhere. But I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's pretty wild. Well, yeah, it seems like a lot
Speaker 1: of people preparing for some abstract disaster that they're not
Speaker 1: sure how to prepare for. Like, so it seems like
Speaker 1: some people like I would prepare myself by having so
Speaker 1: many canned goods and gatorade, and other people were like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy a gun. Other people like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: watch fargo and smoke a blunt like one of those
Speaker 1: is healthy. Yeah, it's just well, it's just so weird
Speaker 1: because I think everyone it's like a fucking you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's bringing their own neuroses, fears, hopes, dreams to this
Speaker 1: thing and it it can, you know, project itself in
Speaker 1: so many different ways for people. And there's the unique
Speaker 1: thing about that grocery thing too. I think we all
Speaker 1: learned in the beginning of the pant in because like
Speaker 1: that thing kind of feeds itself. Like when you go
Speaker 1: to the grocery store you see that there's no toilet paper,
Speaker 1: it makes you start panic buying ship even if you
Speaker 1: didn't feel that way coming in, you know, Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: something like damn, do I am I stupid because like
Speaker 1: three carts full of toilet paper and lama beans. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: I guess I need to get on your page. Oh.
Speaker 1: I started pushing old ladies down the second I saw
Speaker 1: the line. But that's just it's always how happen. Two
Speaker 1: year old knees milk lady. Yeah, how are you guys what?
Speaker 1: One of our listeners shared this self care routine for
Speaker 1: the evening. They have work meetings all day. They already voted,
Speaker 1: So they're just gonna go straight home, take a leftover
Speaker 1: sleeping pill from a surgery they had a few months ago,
Speaker 1: and wake up in the future. Um, which I fucking
Speaker 1: respect that. But that's a thing, Like if you go
Speaker 1: to sleep, is that really then you're gonna wake up
Speaker 1: like fuck happening? I noticed better? This fucked up story. Uh.
Speaker 1: This this friend of mine worked on a reality show
Speaker 1: and one of his co workers super staunch, super like,
Speaker 1: very pro gay rights, super stanch feminist. Like, there was
Speaker 1: an accident on set and like she got like hitting
Speaker 1: the head with some ship I don't know, and like
Speaker 1: so she was like in a coma until after the election,
Speaker 1: and so like when she got hurt, like you know,
Speaker 1: everything looked like Hillary was gonna win, and she woke
Speaker 1: up and fucking Trump was president. Wow, that's got up. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well you know that's why, like everybody's got to protect
Speaker 1: themselves how they want to. If time travels your thing,
Speaker 1: I guess, throw another banana peal and the Mr Fusion,
Speaker 1: uh and take off down the street and come back
Speaker 1: and tell us how it is. But yeah, I mean again,
Speaker 1: it's you won't know anything until at least seven or
Speaker 1: we won't even be get to know some semblance of
Speaker 1: anything until seven because I know a lot of people.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of exit polls and projections and things.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, we think Milwaukee is or whatever it's.
Speaker 1: You know, you're not gonna really know till these numbers
Speaker 1: start coming in. That Uh, that self care plan is
Speaker 1: from uh person on Twitter by the name of I'm
Speaker 1: more tired than a big dick to bat shout out
Speaker 1: to them. Okay, all right. It was just because I
Speaker 1: guess there would be exhausting around carrying a big carrying
Speaker 1: a big dick, and then when you're hanging upside down,
Speaker 1: is just hits you in the face. Oh no, bro, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I know everybody's like, oh, I would love to be
Speaker 1: like that, But you try sleeping with your own dick
Speaker 1: in your face? Yeah. Um, do you guys have plan plans? Uh? Mike,
Speaker 1: do you have a plan for like what you're what
Speaker 1: you're doing for the election. I'm gonna get really drunk.
Speaker 1: How would my lady. I'm just gonna really we're gonna
Speaker 1: get hammered. Uh that's smart. Yeah, Miles, how about you?
Speaker 1: How's your day shaping up? I don't you know, just well,
Speaker 1: probably fiance or something doing this looking at stuff. I
Speaker 1: think really though, because we're kind of in an interesting
Speaker 1: situation where it's kind of our business to know everything
Speaker 1: that's happening. So part of me like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do it in a healthy way where like I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna check in, like probably not for another three hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna try and check out for a little
Speaker 1: bit important. Yeah, I've been like, oh man, what's happening
Speaker 1: Clark County, Nevada at noon? What are the number? Like, dude,
Speaker 1: this none of this ship matters, right, And again, I
Speaker 1: think the other part is more than anything, I think
Speaker 1: is having to remind myself that this doesn't end no
Speaker 1: matter who the winner is. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: if Biden wins, you still have of the country who's
Speaker 1: on this Trump is um ship. Uh, And that's still
Speaker 1: something we're gonna have to navigate. And we still have
Speaker 1: fucked up violent inequality in this country. So that's the
Speaker 1: thing is like then nightmare, while yes it's the nightmare,
Speaker 1: will continue unfortunately on some level for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the part I'm just reminding myself
Speaker 1: is like I don't know if I really can have
Speaker 1: a sigh of relief. I'll tell you. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: I think there's one really important reason why. Um, I
Speaker 1: think Trump being removed or replaced would be important. And
Speaker 1: that's just in terms of his temperament filtered through the
Speaker 1: position and he's in I think his Twitter account stresses
Speaker 1: all of us to funk out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I think that the way he handles anything, and he
Speaker 1: gets on TV riffing and talking crazy like, it's just
Speaker 1: I think we need a return to something that's a
Speaker 1: little more fucking composed and classy, even if even if
Speaker 1: there's some amount of evil behind it. I just think
Speaker 1: in terms of how especially like we have all this
Speaker 1: ship going on, we're still in a pandemic to the
Speaker 1: second wave is is rising right now. I think we
Speaker 1: we just kind of need to feel steady. We need
Speaker 1: some semblance of leadership, and sometimes that just means saying
Speaker 1: something positive to everybody and allowing us to deal with
Speaker 1: our day rather than hurling bullshit at us day. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of it as like this, Biden being the
Speaker 1: president as opposed to Trump would allow people to focus,
Speaker 1: allow us to focus on the important things, the things
Speaker 1: that we can you know, actually affect and not just
Speaker 1: you know, this smoke screen of chaos that he throws
Speaker 1: up everywhere. Mm hmm. Yeah, it's just hard to hard
Speaker 1: to work in these conditions. Um, Mike, it's been a
Speaker 1: pleasure having you. Man, Where can people find you and
Speaker 1: follow you? Twitter at Mike Underscore Eagle and you can
Speaker 1: find portals to my podcast stuff, music stuff, everything is
Speaker 1: there in yeah? Yeah? Um. And is there a tweeter
Speaker 1: or some other work of social media you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1: Is it social media? Uh? You know, I've just been
Speaker 1: finding myself on Instagram looking at artists lately, Like there's
Speaker 1: just so many talented, brilliant illustrators and graphic designers and
Speaker 1: tattoo artists on Instagram, and like, rather than looking at
Speaker 1: a feed full of other people in their houses, actually
Speaker 1: get like some some inspiring drawings, some ship and that
Speaker 1: that that that feels good? Yeah, Miles, where can people
Speaker 1: find you? Follow you? What the tweet you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1: Find me Twitter? Instagram? Fuck your PlayStation network on their ship? Right?
Speaker 1: What you play? What you play? I play Red Dead too,
Speaker 1: I play Ghost of Tsushima, The multiplayer. That's been really fun.
Speaker 1: Uh you know what else? Fucking g t a FIFA,
Speaker 1: Uh what the knock fallout fallout fall buck fall guys, guys.
Speaker 1: Fall Eyes is also very therapeutic because like, man, I
Speaker 1: just gotta stay on this motherfucker off felt like, and
Speaker 1: you're like for the for like that very tense two minutes,
Speaker 1: You're like completely engrossed in it. Uh so yeah, find
Speaker 1: me there, uh fucking wherever. Let's see a tweet that
Speaker 1: I like. Oh man, I don't know vote motherfucker's I
Speaker 1: don't really just sucking. Just just just watch out for yourself,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I think I think
Speaker 1: the one thing is uh, you know, more than anything,
Speaker 1: it's like focusing on how we can affect our communities
Speaker 1: around us as positively as possible. Uh, and keep track
Speaker 1: of those things as well, because you know, be a
Speaker 1: be a source of good um to to those around you.
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's like the one way I
Speaker 1: can feel good about, you know, coming through with I
Speaker 1: don't know, going through these days like this, but yeah,
Speaker 1: we just need to have each other's backs, so keep
Speaker 1: that in mind. Jackie Snel reminded us of something called
Speaker 1: pizza to the polls at to to the poles where
Speaker 1: they basically deliver pizza and food to poles with long lines. Um,
Speaker 1: which is something that is unfortunately necessary, so that that's
Speaker 1: something people can check out in a place people can contribute. Um.
Speaker 1: And then Parker molloy uh tweet retweeted this, uh picture
Speaker 1: of a sweet green that is like all boarded up
Speaker 1: in preparation for any unrest. Uh. And Parker molloy tweeted
Speaker 1: trying to imagine a sweet green being looted, people taking
Speaker 1: random vegetables, handfuls of croutons, jugs of dressing. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just somebody serving cilantro like bundles, got a arms full
Speaker 1: of kombucha. Yeah right, I mean that's what that would
Speaker 1: make sense. Like that feels like the proper, like robbing
Speaker 1: the bourgeois, like rolling out kegs of kombucha, like loading
Speaker 1: them up on a truck, and then people like, man,
Speaker 1: this ship sucks at really. Uh. You can find me
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Jack Underscore O'Brien. You can find us
