Speaker 1: Hello the Internet and welcome to this episode of Pump
Speaker 1: transite Latte. Um As, courtesy as superproducer Trish mccarrigee. She
Speaker 1: suggested Pumpkin Zite Latte, but we got we had to
Speaker 1: just add that little trend in there. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm Jack and I'm throwed to be joined
Speaker 1: by Super Producer Becca Rama. Hello, hello, yeah, first day.
Speaker 1: We did it, we made it, we made it. Let's
Speaker 1: kick it off with first day of fall. What are
Speaker 1: you doing to celebrate? You know, I got my new,
Speaker 1: Uh Furry Birkenstock Boston clogs on. Um. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: justify this purchase in my house by walking around with
Speaker 1: them on. Don't worry, I have not worn them outside yet,
Speaker 1: so they are currently inside shoes. Um. But I do
Speaker 1: love fall. I feel like I truly not to be
Speaker 1: the most basic bitch, but I truly did fall in
Speaker 1: love with fall when I moved to Portland P scrab
Speaker 1: because it is like nowhere else. I even living in
Speaker 1: New York for the past few years, like I still
Speaker 1: like long for a Portland fall like it is like
Speaker 1: just crisp enough, it doesn't get too cold the trees
Speaker 1: because it truly. You're like literally in this little village
Speaker 1: city in the midst of a forest, like all the
Speaker 1: trees are like beautifully like golden and red, and like
Speaker 1: you go apple picking and you go pumpkin patching and
Speaker 1: then like there's like, Um, you know the movie Halloween town? No,
Speaker 1: I don't nightmare before Christmas. No, no, no, it is
Speaker 1: a Disney channel original movie, Halloween town, but Debbie Reynolds.
Speaker 1: It was filmed forty minutes away in this little town,
Speaker 1: uh from Portland's I forgot the name of the town
Speaker 1: right now. But the town is like truly just like
Speaker 1: a hop, skip and a jump away from Portland and
Speaker 1: I used to go every fall when I lived there
Speaker 1: and it only is alive during Halloween, specifically because it
Speaker 1: is such a tiny town and such a tourist spot
Speaker 1: during the like Halloween season. But they have like a
Speaker 1: little like fall festival. They have the Pumpkin from the
Speaker 1: movie like on display and like the little taxi with
Speaker 1: the skeleton, people who know no, and they actually did,
Speaker 1: like I went the year that it was the twenty
Speaker 1: anniversary of the movie and they actually had like the
Speaker 1: cast of the movie there for like a meet and
Speaker 1: greet it costs way too much money. I did not
Speaker 1: take pictures with them, but there's like a little like
Speaker 1: there's like a couple of little museums, like there's like
Speaker 1: this fake alien Ufo Museum that you go and there's
Speaker 1: like all these like like little like toy aliens that
Speaker 1: they built up in like there's like fake ufo and
Speaker 1: all this stuff. It's so fun and there's just like
Speaker 1: nowhere else that's like done it like that. Like it's
Speaker 1: just like such a quaint you're like, oh, like, this
Speaker 1: place is fall like. I'm sure there are places on
Speaker 1: the east coast like Salem and things that are like
Speaker 1: truly spooky, which I don't like that. I'm not like
Speaker 1: here for like the spirit stuff. I'm not here to
Speaker 1: get haunted. I just want to enjoy it in like
Speaker 1: a spooky Yuki Way, and that's what Portland gives me.
Speaker 1: So you're here for the spooky. So three OOKIES. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is a very specific level of fall appreciation. It
Speaker 1: sounds lovely. Um, I did just look up that town
Speaker 1: and apparently nobody's been alive there for twenty five years
Speaker 1: since the big fire. So you may not think you
Speaker 1: funk with the spirit world, but terrifying. So all the
Speaker 1: men in Portland I dated were not real. That took
Speaker 1: me there. Yeah, they were apparatus, spirits of my fall situation.
Speaker 1: Ship Time, very complicated, uh, Spirit world grind that they
Speaker 1: have with they send out cupping season. You know, you
Speaker 1: there's a specific timeline and cupping season in Portland was
Speaker 1: a fun time where you just find a little fun,
Speaker 1: cozy hang out from September to like beginning of December,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to spend the holidays with them.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, and it's cupping season, like sipping, coughing, like putting,
Speaker 1: putting cuff in your hand. To someone too, I feel
Speaker 1: like it's a little mutual, like I feel like the
Speaker 1: guys know what they're walking into, like they're like I'm
Speaker 1: ready to like, I'm ready to be cute. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: instagram pictures, I can't wait for this and I can't
Speaker 1: wait for a man to take me on a date.
Speaker 1: And then it's just like this mutual understanding that neither
Speaker 1: of US want to be together for Christmas and you
Speaker 1: just Kinda sometimes it's not very mutual, but you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of times it is. We're
Speaker 1: just like respectfully, like we knew what this was. It's
Speaker 1: time to go. Yeah, speaking of we knew what this was.
Speaker 1: It's time to go. Olivia wild is doing some more
Speaker 1: press for don't worry darling, coming out tomorrow. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: finally here. That's something we've been we've all been our
Speaker 1: long national nightmares over of the don't worry darling, press
Speaker 1: controversy cycle, news cycle that's been swirling. Um, what? What
Speaker 1: do we have? What's the most recent? Basically, she was
Speaker 1: on a late show this week with Stephen Colbert and
Speaker 1: address the controversy, once again stating that she did still
Speaker 1: being steadfast, despite the evidence that Shia has presented, that
Speaker 1: she did let him go and that she chose Florence. Basically,
Speaker 1: Shia had given her an ultimatum and they try to
Speaker 1: make it work, but ultimately she was like, I cannot
Speaker 1: meet your ultimatum and I am choosing Florence, and who knows.
Speaker 1: I wonder if Florence will ever comment on this. For
Speaker 1: my own like nosy ass, I hope she does, but
Speaker 1: I know she's above the press and probably will never
Speaker 1: and I respect her decision on that. But I just
Speaker 1: want her to put Olivia well in her place, because
Speaker 1: you don't say miss flow and respectfully choose Florence. Like
Speaker 1: to me that's choosing Shia. So okay. So, just to
Speaker 1: like catch people up who haven't been on listening to
Speaker 1: he produced receipts right like she was like we had
Speaker 1: to fire him, or like we just like she for
Speaker 1: months had been like like since they let him go, because,
Speaker 1: like everyone knew that she had hot chosen and hired
Speaker 1: Shaia for the role when the movie was in production.
Speaker 1: And then, you know, is that the role that Harry
Speaker 1: styles ended up having? Yes, and that's why there was
Speaker 1: drama with it because, like when he took the role,
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, she just put her boyfriend in
Speaker 1: the role, because then they started dating and it was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is weird. But when that happened like months ago, Um,
Speaker 1: she was very clear, like I fired Chaia like that
Speaker 1: the narrative. She had been pushing out, pushing out, pushing out,
Speaker 1: and then when the official press tour for the movie
Speaker 1: started and she did the van fair article, she like
Speaker 1: kind of did this very like, you know, feminist thing
Speaker 1: that she always does, and she's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: no bullies on my set. Like I fired Jaia and
Speaker 1: I guess Shaia. I wanted to capitalize on the drama
Speaker 1: that was going on. I think that is why he
Speaker 1: didn't come forward sooner, especially because he has new projects
Speaker 1: to promote. This is my own speculation of being chronically online.
Speaker 1: And he was like I'm going to produce receives because
Speaker 1: this is hot in the media right now and it
Speaker 1: will catch fire and people will believe me now because
Speaker 1: Olivia is in a weird place versus eight months ago
Speaker 1: when this actually happened. So he places the receipts. His
Speaker 1: receipt was, was it an email? Was it a voicemail?
Speaker 1: He emailed vanity fair after the Vanity Fair article came
Speaker 1: out that Olivia did where she further elaborated that she
Speaker 1: did fire Shia. So he was like I'm tired of
Speaker 1: this narrative. Vanity Fair, here in my receipt. So he
Speaker 1: did like do an official like I'm coming to you,
Speaker 1: but his his receipts were. Was it a voicemail from her?
Speaker 1: And it was a video. So it was it was
Speaker 1: a couple of text messages, like some screenshots of some texts,
Speaker 1: and then it was an actual video that she had
Speaker 1: sent him that was like hey, Shaya, where she's like,
Speaker 1: I want to make this work. We can teach MS
Speaker 1: flow a lesson. Essentially, the Star Florence Pugh unto the bus.
Speaker 1: It's it's yeah, it's weird. I don't know. But anyways,
Speaker 1: now she's claiming that she's standing her ground that, despite
Speaker 1: the evidence, she did fire him, because the email that
Speaker 1: he wrote was also like here my like my text,
Speaker 1: showing that she was begging for me to stay, but
Speaker 1: also that I formerly left. I think he also did
Speaker 1: forward an email that he had written to Olivia Wilde
Speaker 1: claiming that he like, formerly resigned from the shoot, versus
Speaker 1: him being fired. So who knows? But yeah, she's she's
Speaker 1: standing down, that she she did fire him. So we'll
Speaker 1: never know, but it's fun to speculate. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: fun to speculate. They're predicting twenty million dollar opening for
Speaker 1: this movie, which is I don't know, it seems aggressive
Speaker 1: to me, like it seems like a movie that, based
Speaker 1: on what I thought it was a very promising trailer,
Speaker 1: needed good rotten tomatoes scores to really like follow through
Speaker 1: on like what it promised and like what was intriguing
Speaker 1: about the trailer. So I don't know, man, it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: Super Producer Brian said that woman king got nineteen million opening. Yes,
Speaker 1: a woman king got a big opening, and it does
Speaker 1: seem like there's just like not as many movies out
Speaker 1: and so people are going to see cool movies. So
Speaker 1: this weekend I think I might have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: sneak away and get to go see a movie. I
Speaker 1: will probably see the woman king instead of this, because
Speaker 1: it just, I don't know, people seem to indicate it's
Speaker 1: like not that good. I mean, I hear you and
Speaker 1: I respect that your desire is to see good cinema,
Speaker 1: but my desire is to see drama and I do
Speaker 1: think I will be catching don't worry, Darling. So I
Speaker 1: understand your question of the, you know, box sales, but
Speaker 1: I do think there's enough drama that people are curious
Speaker 1: why I got such a bad review, because that's why
Speaker 1: I would see it, because I'm like, I loved the trailer,
Speaker 1: so I'm curious on how she fumbled the bag so
Speaker 1: hard that I'm willing to go see it and see
Speaker 1: how she fumbled the bag. It feels like if, like
Speaker 1: this is a movie critics would like if it was good,
Speaker 1: critics would love to be like I think people were
Speaker 1: rooting for it, but they were genuinely rooting for it,
Speaker 1: and I think you know I mean. But it's hard
Speaker 1: to follow such a big like opener, you know, when
Speaker 1: you like your first movie was so good, your second one,
Speaker 1: your sophomore movies, sometimes a bomb and the life. That's
Speaker 1: the blank check. I am not given this the light
Speaker 1: year guarantee that it's going to tank, because I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to see if it we we will
Speaker 1: be following and paying attention to whether it goes twenty
Speaker 1: million and its opening weekend. Let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and talk about more scandal. And
Speaker 1: we're back Alex Jones. Let's talk about this dip shit.
Speaker 1: He's been in Connecticut this week in preparation for his
Speaker 1: appearance in court. It's another case where the parents of
Speaker 1: the child murder victims, who he claimed were crisis actors
Speaker 1: and whose lives he, you know, had just been ruined
Speaker 1: and he continued to like play in the ashes of
Speaker 1: their lives, like and just do the crueler sh it. Ever,
Speaker 1: he's getting sued even more for what he did there,
Speaker 1: and apparently it's not looking good. I mean the whole
Speaker 1: case hasn't been looking at the whole trial for him
Speaker 1: has been, yeah, looking pretty, pretty devastating, which is, I mean,
Speaker 1: great for the general population of people who believe victims. But, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's set to appear in court for the first time
Speaker 1: on trial, speaking and he's still talking ship and I
Speaker 1: can't wait for him to burn down. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: sick of seeing it's not a real trial. This is
Speaker 1: a show trial, literal, a literal kangaroo court, like a
Speaker 1: literal kangaroo court. It's just so I mean, the delusion
Speaker 1: that he lives in is or, in general, you could
Speaker 1: say a lot of white people with too much money
Speaker 1: in power, like the delusion that they've created for themselves
Speaker 1: to be able to go into a court of law
Speaker 1: and be like yeah, like I truly spout out this bullshit.
Speaker 1: It's just, like it's mind blowing to me like that.
Speaker 1: The lack of empathy is like sociopathic, you know, like
Speaker 1: it's just it truly blows my mind how someone can
Speaker 1: just like, I mean it's like trump, you know, you're
Speaker 1: just like sitting there and talking out of your ass
Speaker 1: and knowing that you're talking lies and people are showing
Speaker 1: you like here's the evidence of your lies and you
Speaker 1: can just still be like no, but like just taking
Speaker 1: out of context and this and the like, just like
Speaker 1: bullshit your way through and people still just give you
Speaker 1: the time of day. It's just like it. It makes
Speaker 1: me sick. It like truly makes my skin crawl. This
Speaker 1: whole trial has made my skin crawl. In advance of
Speaker 1: his testimony today, the judge on his trial has warned
Speaker 1: that all incendiary speech from him will be treated as
Speaker 1: contempt of court, which that that quote that I read
Speaker 1: in Alex Jone's voice was like him outside of the
Speaker 1: court the other day. He's straight up. So I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a hard time. I'm not being held
Speaker 1: in contempt of court, which lovely, love that. Love that
Speaker 1: for him, which I'm glad the judge is saying that,
Speaker 1: because the parents don't deserve to hear that to their
Speaker 1: face over and like they've already heard it so many times.
Speaker 1: But I'm so glad that the judge is going to
Speaker 1: be more firm in the courtroom for those parents because
Speaker 1: they don't deserve to hear that again. Yeah, one of
Speaker 1: the parents at one point. Forget what it was, but
Speaker 1: like they interacted with one another. I think it was
Speaker 1: in the court room of the last trial where he
Speaker 1: was basically cleaned out, or not not cleaned out, actually
Speaker 1: he was. He was sued and is still so, so
Speaker 1: rich because of all the like Dick Pills that he
Speaker 1: sells to shitty listeners. Um. But they said something very
Speaker 1: reasonable to him and he was like you're a sociopath,
Speaker 1: you're get away from me, man, like you're he's truly
Speaker 1: one of the worst humans of our lifetime. UDOKA is trending.
Speaker 1: The coach of the Celtics, he ma udoka, you know,
Speaker 1: rookie coach last year brought them all the way to
Speaker 1: the finals. Very promising coach, is going to be suspended
Speaker 1: for the whole season, apparently for having an affair with
Speaker 1: someone in the Celtics Organization is married to Nia long.
Speaker 1: It's very weird. People are saying they're like, must be
Speaker 1: more to it than just an affair, but I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: people don't be getting suspended, I guess. You know, like
Speaker 1: at least for that. Yeah, well, we'll see. I mean
Speaker 1: having an affair with the subordinate is pretty like. I
Speaker 1: guess the rules in any organization Um, like against the
Speaker 1: rules of how you're supposed to act as a human Um,
Speaker 1: I hate to see it, because I do. He was
Speaker 1: my favorite thing about the Celtics. Um. He just seems
Speaker 1: like a cool person and a really, really smart coach.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a bumber. Like we just don't we
Speaker 1: just don't know because we don't have the details. But
Speaker 1: I think the implications that it must be something more
Speaker 1: are probably off base. But obviously, like, you know, based
Speaker 1: in the toxic nous of Um sports fandom, that it's like, well,
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. You know, it's got to be
Speaker 1: a crime. It feels like somewhat irresponsible. Uh, Sports Journalism,
Speaker 1: even though sports journalism is the lowest form of journalism.
Speaker 1: That's not true. Citizen Journalism exists. So Hey, citizen journalism
Speaker 1: that does some good work sometimes. Sometimes there's just a
Speaker 1: lot of people on Tiktok and many media platforms that,
Speaker 1: you know, just spew lies and call US citizen journalism.
Speaker 1: That makes me weary of the ethics of Journal because
Speaker 1: Alex Jones Conspiracy Theory Journalism is pretty bad. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: Like it's like there's so many people out there now
Speaker 1: that there's an easier way to have access to a
Speaker 1: platform that just say things and they're like put on
Speaker 1: a journalist and it's like, did you go to school?
Speaker 1: Did you ever take a writing course? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Did you take law and ethics? I take on ethics,
Speaker 1: second to lowest form of journalism, or its journalism. Um,
Speaker 1: Stephen a Smith, you know. But anyways, go listen to
Speaker 1: miles and eyes show, miles and Jack Got, Matt Boostie's
Speaker 1: an NBA podcast. And finally, anonymous Iran is blocking Internet
Speaker 1: access as protesters. There's like a big protest growing in
Speaker 1: Iran because a woman was stopped by the police for
Speaker 1: not having her hair covered in public. The literal morality police,
Speaker 1: like that is what they are, stopped her and she
Speaker 1: ended up dead and they're claiming, oh, she just got
Speaker 1: sick after we arrested her, but everybody they said as
Speaker 1: natural causes. A young woman's death were natural causes, which
Speaker 1: is just absolutely absurd. So massive protests, I mean they're
Speaker 1: also the morality police are known for mistreating people in Iran. Yeah,
Speaker 1: her family is very much stating that they believe she was,
Speaker 1: you know, abused and murdered in the custody of the
Speaker 1: morality police. But there's been huge protesting among it and
Speaker 1: because of that, the Iranian government has shut down all
Speaker 1: Internet access to people, especially a lot of this movement
Speaker 1: was happening on social happening on WHATSAPP, and they shut
Speaker 1: it all down. But, Um, the anarchist hackers group, they
Speaker 1: are trying to siphon what's going on in Iran for
Speaker 1: the IRONIAN people. It's been pretty damaging to see what's
Speaker 1: going on. It's very scary, very upsetting and I really
Speaker 1: hope that, uh, there's more ways we can find to
Speaker 1: support the Ironian people at this time. But it's also
Speaker 1: stated anonymous maybe taken down several state owned websites as well.
Speaker 1: So so they're trying to basically get Internet for the
Speaker 1: people and Pug up at the states like Internet access,
Speaker 1: which and also, I think, showcase what's happening, because they
Speaker 1: no longer have access to show what's happening. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: buildings are being burnt down. You know, it's like very
Speaker 1: the protests have gotten out of hand. Where the morality police?
Speaker 1: Are you hurting the citizens going on? So yeah, all right, well,
Speaker 1: those are some of the things that are trending. Happy
Speaker 1: First Day of fall and thank you so much for
