Speaker 1: might as well destroy your own ego. Get down there
Speaker 1: with them and be amazed at everything you see. You
Speaker 1: know that I'm learning, We're learning together. It's like such
Speaker 1: a stereotypical, like stoner like thought that you have in
Speaker 1: college when you get high for the first time, but
Speaker 1: when it's also I thought you have when you're a
Speaker 1: parent and there's just a lot of downtime to think
Speaker 1: all the thoughts. But I just remember being like, I
Speaker 1: bet what they're seeing is very similar, like the the
Speaker 1: experience of being a baby and seeing everything new for
Speaker 1: the first time. It's very similar to you know, being
Speaker 1: on psychedelics, being like you and then they say, the
Speaker 1: most high ship you've ever heard? You can really look
Speaker 1: at your hands for how do my bones move me?
Speaker 1: Was one of the things that one of my kids
Speaker 1: said to me, like like very early on in his
Speaker 1: ability to speak. I was like, what the fuck? Wow?
Speaker 1: Where does that thought come in? The one thing when
Speaker 1: you get too high is like how do I know
Speaker 1: when to breathe? That's always a fun one. Yeah, oh ship, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's yeah. I was not good on pot. It was
Speaker 1: very very not good at that. That's my other ak,
Speaker 1: not good on pot. What is something from your search history? Okay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so so I was searching this this morning. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if you guys are into like meditation. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty big kind of sore of events of stuff. Yeah, mindfulness,
Speaker 1: So I'm always looking at it. Of course, I'm looking
Speaker 1: for like a way to kind of go above and
Speaker 1: beyond olverays right. So I was listening to a podcast
Speaker 1: this morning and this dude was like really selling this
Speaker 1: device that he uses that apparently puts him in like
Speaker 1: another world. And I looked it up. It's called the
Speaker 1: Soma Dome and and it's kind of like you ever
Speaker 1: sent those flotation things where people like sit in salt water,
Speaker 1: like you know, but this is like, I guess, installed
Speaker 1: in your house, and it's like a little dome and
Speaker 1: it's got like speakers and lights and ship and it's
Speaker 1: supposed to give you like the ultimate like you know,
Speaker 1: just being present in your head meditation wise. So he
Speaker 1: was talking about that's like almost exactly. It's such a
Speaker 1: good way. Oh my god. Yeah, a futurising. That's literally exactly.
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, let me let me
Speaker 1: look into this whole thing. And as I'm like researching,
Speaker 1: I hear him go yeah, I mean I dropped twenty
Speaker 1: five K on it, and I was like, all right, yeah, Nick,
Speaker 1: close out the old Safari search. It's back to turning
Speaker 1: off the lights and u and looking at heads and
Speaker 1: you're listening to headspace on my on my Spotify place.
Speaker 1: Only do you close the tabb but you have to
Speaker 1: erase the cookies, so that is on, and you know
Speaker 1: the algorithm doesn't think you think to start sending. They've
Speaker 1: made a broke boy version home. Yeah, and it looks
Speaker 1: like a fucking like a little collapsing camping chair. You
Speaker 1: bring a Little League game or like a y s
Speaker 1: O game and with like a light flap on top.
Speaker 1: It looks like the low budget like brother of Somma
Speaker 1: don't see. I love that. And it's like if somebody
Speaker 1: breaks in your house and they see that, they're just
Speaker 1: gonna walk right back out because like this broadcast, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: where's the other one? They'll think it's a time machine
Speaker 1: or just freak them out through like a mess scientist
Speaker 1: lives here. Have you guys ever done sensory deprivation? No,
Speaker 1: I really want to do that. I did it, okay,
Speaker 1: but yeah, you have experience I'd love to hear, so
Speaker 1: I had build it up in my mind. I talked
Speaker 1: to a lot of people who are really into meditation.
Speaker 1: I'm into like getting into meditation issue and into getting
Speaker 1: into I'm like preparing to be willing to get into
Speaker 1: getting into your meditation. I'm doing the the prep to
Speaker 1: get to be into meditation. So I went and did it,
Speaker 1: and I think, I think this is a good thing.
Speaker 1: I'm told this is a good thing. But they I
Speaker 1: closed my eyes, the lights went down, and then it
Speaker 1: seemed like a split second later the lights came back
Speaker 1: on and they were like, yeah, that was forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: And I guess it was like just the most relaxing
Speaker 1: sleep or they were fucking with me. I can't I
Speaker 1: can't tell Wish that office episode where they Michael fell
Speaker 1: asleep and the all right, yeah, it was the closest
Speaker 1: I've come to time travel since that's a good way
Speaker 1: drinking and using drugs. Did you feel like your your
Speaker 1: experience would feel like four and a half hours? And
Speaker 1: that was why it was maybe a little bit like
Speaker 1: oh ship times went rapidly quickly without any stimula. It
Speaker 1: was just like forty five minutes, but it just went
Speaker 1: so fast. I thought, Yeah, I think I had built
Speaker 1: it up like okay, that this could go one of
Speaker 1: two ways. It could be like very trippy and like
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be you're like traveling places in your mind,
Speaker 1: is what one thing I've heard. And the other thing
Speaker 1: I had heard is like you just are in in
Speaker 1: there and you want to get out. Like I've heard
Speaker 1: about it going badly. I've never heard someone just be
Speaker 1: like yeah, closed my eyes and it was over. So
Speaker 1: I think I built it up my head a lot too.
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be life changing. And and
Speaker 1: then I go and I opened the thing and it's
Speaker 1: got like a little like stuff at the bottom of
Speaker 1: like the water thing. And that just grossed me out
Speaker 1: because I was thinking, what was the other person that
Speaker 1: was in here before me? They obviously the water, and
Speaker 1: then the part of me that is like the child
Speaker 1: of an immigrant who like makes himself feel small, It's like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna say anything. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna deal with it, you know. And then right right,
Speaker 1: but the first half hours just me thinking about what
Speaker 1: it could be of being grossed at by the fact
Speaker 1: I'm laying in this water. And then I fell asleep
Speaker 1: at some point woke up and it was kind of
Speaker 1: a similar thing. I was just kind of like, I
Speaker 1: guess it was like good sleep, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't what I hope to admit. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: super super fast, but yeah, yeah, Zeke getting let us
Speaker 1: know what your experiences with sensory deprivation. I've definitely heard
Speaker 1: from people who like had really trippy experience with my
Speaker 1: one friend, Hunter is like got in there and really
Speaker 1: got after it. Hunter, because you say his dad was
Speaker 1: putting a lot of pressure. His dad put a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on him. So he said he went in
Speaker 1: there and had a little party in there. I didn't
Speaker 1: really exactly know what that meant. But he left his
Speaker 1: laptop like at the place right and he was like,
Speaker 1: you went back in Yeah, what something. Thing is overrated.
Speaker 1: We touched on this earlier. I think fall and winter
Speaker 1: are overrated. Go on, go on. They're nice for like
Speaker 1: a week. I mean, I get it, but I hate
Speaker 1: the time change. I hate night coming sooner. I love summer,
Speaker 1: and then l a, nobody works during this summer. Basically
Speaker 1: everybody is summer Fridays. We're really sort of like a
Speaker 1: vacation culture, and so I just don't like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's maybe it's like a back to school leftover feeling,
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm always chasing summertime. Like by
Speaker 1: the time it's May, I'm like, yes, we're ready, We're
Speaker 1: in it. And then around here I'm like, sure, the
Speaker 1: leaves sort of change, but it's not like I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's just more debris on the ground. That's really the
Speaker 1: only difference. Daniel, how do you feel about these colder months?
Speaker 1: You know, it's colder months is almost an exaggeration. We're
Speaker 1: talking like a maybe a ten to fifteen decree drop
Speaker 1: in temperature at absolute most. And maybe instead of wearing
Speaker 1: a T shirt, you wear a long sleeve shirt and
Speaker 1: god forbid a sweater. I will say, look forbid, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: I'll wear a North Faces about to say, is that
Speaker 1: like I look at my closet and I pray to
Speaker 1: be able to bust out a letterman jacket or oh
Speaker 1: my god, not literally anything that's me. And this is
Speaker 1: the big West Coast East coast divide on this, because
Speaker 1: yesterday our guest is in New Yorker and we were
Speaker 1: and I was talking about, oh, I love the cold,
Speaker 1: and he's like, basically like, you don't know the cold.
Speaker 1: You don't know the cold. The cold is Disneyland to you.
Speaker 1: You you stopped by that mother for a day, You're like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't live there where. You slowly start losing your
Speaker 1: mind because you've seen fantasmic every fucking night, three times
Speaker 1: in a row. Where it's dark at four pm, it's
Speaker 1: too cold to leave your apartments. It also doesn't get
Speaker 1: cold in New York the way that it used to
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. But I remember, like because
Speaker 1: at my high school you had to cross the street
Speaker 1: for like to go between buildings, and I remember being
Speaker 1: so cold that like the ear rings would freeze in
Speaker 1: my ears like or this is not My nose would
Speaker 1: have icicles like painful, like like dumb and dumber. That's
Speaker 1: a post nasal drip that freezes in there just so,
Speaker 1: or going outside with wet hair and having your hair freeze.
Speaker 1: Would know that I'm bald, So try another angle. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a win in my column. Still, although my
Speaker 1: bald head would probably freeze, it's just like Okay, I could,
Speaker 1: but I keep saying this and I have to do.
Speaker 1: I really just need to do like a cultural exchange
Speaker 1: with someone in like the deep freeze and be like, bro,
Speaker 1: you stay und you have to go for more than
Speaker 1: a month. Yeah, Like I want to like I want
Speaker 1: to know, be like, okay, mother' gonna chop your wood too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get that stove going like we did in my
Speaker 1: house had a wood stove. Yeah, I'm so like my
Speaker 1: mom grew up in a really cold part of Japan,
Speaker 1: so like going to certain parts of like really cold
Speaker 1: winter Japan is the same ship where it's like you
Speaker 1: gotta get you gotta wake up, keep that stove going
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night and ship unless you
Speaker 1: want to wake up to some nonsense. Right an installation
Speaker 1: isn't that like big of a thing with like older
Speaker 1: built homes there too, So I'm willing. I saw somebody
Speaker 1: who was like, come out to Winnipeg. I feel like
Speaker 1: when the Night Gang was like, okay, full come out
Speaker 1: to Winnipeg, see what's up. Comes You're like all his
Speaker 1: ship was frozen on his face, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm down to try it. I feel like I would
Speaker 1: just smoke weed all day and be like I'm looking
Speaker 1: at yeah, we'll see, but yeah, I'm it's all. It's
Speaker 1: the fashion, you know, it's the fashion. Honestly, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie it is again, this is definitely a Disneyland
Speaker 1: ass take. But I just want to wear the clothes
Speaker 1: I have. I just want to wear my Mickey ears.
Speaker 1: I just want to wear the Mickey ears and go out.
Speaker 1: That is like the funniest part about moving out here
Speaker 1: is that when it hits sixty five degrees, people wear
Speaker 1: Canada goose down jackets, scarves and ship gloves. I'll never
Speaker 1: wear gloves. You'll never You'll never catch me wearing gloves.
Speaker 1: That's like, oh my god, wait until you go to
Speaker 1: win a fag. Oh no. That's what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: that's like my cold water, like my cold weather rubicon.
Speaker 1: I will not cross in in l a, which is
Speaker 1: to put gloves on. I'm like that unless I'm riding
Speaker 1: a bike and it's really cold, fine, like I'll do
Speaker 1: that to keep my hands warm. But it's the East
Speaker 1: Coast or places with actual winter to gloves to come.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and oh sorry, I have to keep harping
Speaker 1: on fascist. All it took was in New Yorker to
Speaker 1: be like, damn, it was like, you look like a
Speaker 1: New Yorker. When I was in New York during the
Speaker 1: like the winter, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the tim's just emerged onto Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had tearaway shoes. Everything comes underneath. So funny and
Speaker 1: it starts shook. One started playing out on my fucking
Speaker 1: speaker phone. Yankee fitted just emerging from the forehead, still
Speaker 1: always away. My head turns to a Yankee. What is
Speaker 1: something you think is underrated? People who are raised well?
Speaker 1: Hmm okay, now what that means? You know, there are
Speaker 1: some human beings that you are just like. It is
Speaker 1: so refreshing to know that you were raised well, Like
Speaker 1: you're kind, you have emotional intelligence, you know, like you
Speaker 1: you mind your business where you should. You know, like
Speaker 1: you're inclusive, You're still fine. But you know that your
Speaker 1: parents raised you well, their parents raised them well. Rather,
Speaker 1: that's so underrated. Like I find that, you know, human
Speaker 1: beings in this world oftentimes we just don't give enough
Speaker 1: props to the people who were truly raised well and
Speaker 1: they're moving through life and you're like, you're a kind
Speaker 1: human being. I love to see it, yea, like the
Speaker 1: h yes, yes, I mean, you know, parenting is literally
Speaker 1: like guessing game. I I feel like it's do you
Speaker 1: try to figure it out with the soul that we
Speaker 1: have and uh, you know, I'm like, good job, shout
Speaker 1: out to your parents. What's the thing, what's the what's
Speaker 1: the quality that you appreciate most when you when you
Speaker 1: throw somebody in the column of raised well, Like, what's that?
Speaker 1: What's the most potent quality for you? Like? Oh, man,
Speaker 1: I love love that. I love politeness and human kindness.
Speaker 1: Like there's sometimes I will meet a child like I
Speaker 1: don't know, like through their parents or whatever, but like
Speaker 1: a child that is kind I'm like, you're gonna turn
Speaker 1: out to be raised well, Like you're going to grow
Speaker 1: up to be a good one. Why you are a
Speaker 1: sociopath and you're figuring it out? Oh no, look see
Speaker 1: that's I'm always on edge. I'm like, what's why is
Speaker 1: his kids smart? Or they the next fucking who knows what?
Speaker 1: But that's just my own trust issues, I think, yeah, okay, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, no, you know the little ones thing
Speaker 1: they're like okay, I would say, and you know, I
Speaker 1: have this conversation at least a human being that is
Speaker 1: raised well, that you just know is raised well and
Speaker 1: I have not met him, but I know he's raised well.
Speaker 1: Keanu reads like he's probably one of those people that
Speaker 1: you're like, I know he's raised well, Like you could
Speaker 1: just tell Yeah. I think there's two ways right to
Speaker 1: arrive there. You can be raised well or you can
Speaker 1: see enough bullshit that you end up figuring it out
Speaker 1: and you're like, I actually ended up like this because
Speaker 1: I saw so much ship. I figured it out pretty
Speaker 1: quickly that this was probably the way to actually exist
Speaker 1: rather than in the chaos I witnessed. So I definitely
Speaker 1: the wisdom is either way. It's either coming from the
Speaker 1: parents is coming from your life. But I do I
Speaker 1: do like when you are when you meet people that
Speaker 1: arrived there, I know what you mean, Like you can
Speaker 1: feel it like, Okay, you got a good You've got
Speaker 1: something good going on. I think. I think wisdom like
Speaker 1: that is deeply, deeply under it, being able to see
Speaker 1: something and learn from it. It's not simply my experience
Speaker 1: is my experience. It's I see something, You're like, actually,
Speaker 1: you know what. I think that's something that I could
Speaker 1: take on and that's a that's a trait that I
Speaker 1: need to practice more in my own daily life. And
Speaker 1: that kind of wisdom very very underrated. So I see, right,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, just be somebody who pursues wisdom. Right,
Speaker 1: Because so much of our lives we go through a
Speaker 1: lot of ship, it's easy to be like, I'm not
Speaker 1: thinking with that, I'm not thinking about that I don't
Speaker 1: want to deal with that right now, and we push
Speaker 1: it away and try and like go on like automation
Speaker 1: mode and like let ship just simmer in the back.
Speaker 1: But really you want to be able to confront those moments,
Speaker 1: feel the totality of what you're experiencing as a person,
Speaker 1: because the more you sit with the thought like that,
Speaker 1: I was just you know, I've I've had to grieve
Speaker 1: a lot of people over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: Is you know, like even when you you think about
Speaker 1: like loss right and you're like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: deal with it's just too heavy or whatever, But a
Speaker 1: lot of the pain you feel is because it's the
Speaker 1: love that you feel for that person and the love
Speaker 1: you know this person has had for you. And I
Speaker 1: think part of that you know it's being rather than
Speaker 1: running away from that, it should try and sit and
Speaker 1: feel the grief and tell yourself it's gonna be okay,
Speaker 1: but also remind yourself that this is the love that's
Speaker 1: there that you're really feeling, that's what you're running away from,
Speaker 1: and try and evolve your thinking around it. So rather
Speaker 1: than the topic you I don't want to think about,
Speaker 1: it's too sad. You can think about it be like, damn,
Speaker 1: I love that person and they love me, And that's
Speaker 1: what I get when I think about it. I think
Speaker 1: it's also to just the fear that you won't have
Speaker 1: that again, right, Like, there's a little bit of that
Speaker 1: in the grieving process, just kind of being like, oh no,
Speaker 1: well I ever you know, be able to love like
Speaker 1: this again in this capacity. So sitting I do think
Speaker 1: you're right. We just have to kind of sit in
Speaker 1: it and also just remember the good times you did
Speaker 1: have likes, you know, because that's where the wisdom's at.
Speaker 1: The wisdom people run away from opportunities to to accept
Speaker 1: the wisdom, but that's part of it. But yes, I
Speaker 1: love that point. And if you're somebody who's walking around
Speaker 1: like a decent human being, shout the funk out to you.
Speaker 1: Less generational wealth, more generational mental health. Oh wow, look
Speaker 1: at roof. Okay, let's take a quick break, be right
Speaker 1: back to talk some weird ship and we're back. And yeah,
Speaker 1: this isn't like that. This is more of a placeholder
Speaker 1: to be like, but we will be coming back to
Speaker 1: this one if if the Republicans win the House, which
Speaker 1: I still feel like they're gonna Yeah, the projections are
Speaker 1: saying like it's swinging Democrat, but it's still like two
Speaker 1: twelve or two twenty three or something. It was like
Speaker 1: twenty six a month ago. So like at this pace,
Speaker 1: like if they're losing maybe three seats on on like
Speaker 1: in the projections, they would still probably stand to win
Speaker 1: the House. Yeah, and if they win the House, man
Speaker 1: if he saw politics was frustratingly cynical before, Like wait
Speaker 1: until the Republican House starts launching impeachment inquiries into Joe
Speaker 1: Biden starts launching investigations into the January sixth Committee, like
Speaker 1: just weaponizing every every weapon that has been used to
Speaker 1: you know, in many cases, try to hold Donald Trump
Speaker 1: accountable for you know, trying to barter like weapons for
Speaker 1: political secrets in the case in the case of the
Speaker 1: the impeachment that actually went through. Yeah, I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know. It seems like they're going to be trying
Speaker 1: to impeach Biden on like the Hunter laptop. Who knows
Speaker 1: what else. Maybe Afghanistan has been mentioned and his handling
Speaker 1: a vet, so we might have another Benghazi. I mean,
Speaker 1: I certainly woke Afghanistan gas prices. We remember that second
Speaker 1: friend News Max where they helped us realize. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: like that's the other thing is that so they're impeaching
Speaker 1: him about Afghanistan and I'm like, yeah, I mean he
Speaker 1: fucked out, like he like a lot of the stuff
Speaker 1: you did there was terrible, but like that is I
Speaker 1: have to think that's part of the strategy, is like Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna defend this guy, and and like that's such
Speaker 1: a distraction, such a drain on just the genuine political
Speaker 1: energy that people have to like see see some things change. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't like if part of me thinks like this
Speaker 1: is just but them trying to figure out what to say,
Speaker 1: Like it's all about chumming the waters for the like,
Speaker 1: for their for their base, right, Like we've seen a
Speaker 1: few different attempts like just come constantly backfire. So then
Speaker 1: maybe they're like, Okay, what if we get back into
Speaker 1: revenge mode. Maybe revenge mode will get him out. But
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I don't know if revenge mode will, Like
Speaker 1: right now, there was a new poll that said Trump's
Speaker 1: his support like went down like twenty points recently. I'm Republicans,
Speaker 1: So I don't know, like there's there's clearly there's clear
Speaker 1: whatever the poelling says or doesn't say, there's clearly like
Speaker 1: an enthusiasm gap that they're trying to address. And they
Speaker 1: and they're like they're normal tools of being just inhumane
Speaker 1: to people who are trying to look for a better life,
Speaker 1: or going after trans people or whatever isn't moving the
Speaker 1: needle enough. So I think that's why it feels like. Remember,
Speaker 1: like I think they're like just like Democrats are like, hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: if we you know, get the Senate, like we will
Speaker 1: then give a funk about you know, abortion access, this
Speaker 1: swear because everybody's got to paint a picture of what
Speaker 1: happens when we win, honey, like this is what's gonna come.
Speaker 1: And I think for them, they've tried all these other
Speaker 1: things like we are gonna fuck in, you know, just
Speaker 1: completely mistreat human beings, or they're like, okay, how about
Speaker 1: we go after Biden's ask That's what it feels like.
Speaker 1: But either way, I definitely believe that when they say that,
Speaker 1: when do we reach like peak crazy though? Right, like,
Speaker 1: because this has to tip at some point and every
Speaker 1: time you think, all right, like there's no way his
Speaker 1: base is gonna go along with this, like these assinine
Speaker 1: stories they're making up or or trying to defend this.
Speaker 1: There's always another excuse. There's always another crazy person trying
Speaker 1: to do something. I just wonder, like when does the
Speaker 1: crazy get too crazy for like even the majority crazies
Speaker 1: that fill the MAGA party almost you know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I feel like right now, it's more like that the
Speaker 1: like the optics are so bluntly, so blunt and so
Speaker 1: plainly funked up looking that they're like okay, because like
Speaker 1: there was somebody went on George Stephanopolis show, I forget
Speaker 1: which thing is Barosso Center Barrasso, and he like he
Speaker 1: was trying to like Stephanopolis like, fam, you know, you
Speaker 1: can't just declassify ship with your mind, you know that,
Speaker 1: like you know, and he's like, well, I don't. Like
Speaker 1: he was like and like Stephanopolis started to laugh basically
Speaker 1: laughing at this dude, and he's like, yeah, maybe you're right,
Speaker 1: Like there's it's clear that there's like so even like
Speaker 1: the handy thing when he was that terrible interview handedy,
Speaker 1: even my handy was like whoa, Like, isn't there video
Speaker 1: of the FBI plan? If you like they're saying they're
Speaker 1: they're planning ship and he's like, I don't know, now
Speaker 1: I think it has anyways, yeah, like it in the room. Anyways,
Speaker 1: moving on, I feel like the instincts to be like that,
Speaker 1: they're gonna figure like eventually this is going to hit
Speaker 1: a bottom and they will bounce back. That to this
Speaker 1: point has not served me well. I feel like I
Speaker 1: was asking that question three years ago, you know, and
Speaker 1: they now we have Trump giving a speech with like
Speaker 1: dramatic music behind him as they give him the one,
Speaker 1: the Q and On where we go when we go
Speaker 1: all salute like that feels like it would have seemed
Speaker 1: beyond beyond like what anybody would go along with a
Speaker 1: while back. I guess Q and On seemed like it
Speaker 1: was beyond what people would go along with a while back.
Speaker 1: But but you know what, it keeps going. They're they're
Speaker 1: like going, just like they're going through records at a
Speaker 1: record store. They're like, what about xenophobia. They're like, okay,
Speaker 1: that was not hitting like the ship. Okay, switch it
Speaker 1: up this new white label from Q and On. I
Speaker 1: hope you are ready for this. They haven't been playing
Speaker 1: in one club out here, and recently at the North
Speaker 1: Carolina rally, the like people at the like people that
Speaker 1: were officials with the Trump rally, they were stopping people
Speaker 1: from doing the Q and on salute. So clearly from
Speaker 1: the even the Trump side to like, bro, we can't
Speaker 1: we no, no, no, Like that's a bridge too far
Speaker 1: even for like what they call quote unquote normal Republicans.
Speaker 1: Is this that they're constant like you're the flip flopping.
Speaker 1: It's They're just in this very very wild phase. That's
Speaker 1: why I'm like curious, right, Like I do want to
Speaker 1: play this clip of Kevin McCarthy because just like we're
Speaker 1: talking about this like painting a vision of what it
Speaker 1: looks like when the Republicans take the House. This is
Speaker 1: like one of the main this this SoundBite of him,
Speaker 1: of of Kevin McCarthy on Fox News just sums up
Speaker 1: just how bizarre they think, like what motivates people to
Speaker 1: vote for them. So just listen to this about why
Speaker 1: you you're gonna be loving a fucking Republican controlled house
Speaker 1: hold the law. We will secure our borders so your
Speaker 1: kids won't have to fear wondering that they're buying fentanyl
Speaker 1: and are gonna o d Then I'm sorry, can I
Speaker 1: think I misheard you, was like, we will secure our borders. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you'll secure the Okay, so no more brown people, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm with that. I'm so your kids won't have to
Speaker 1: fear wondering that they're buying fentanyl and are gonna O
Speaker 1: d oh. I don't know how many of the homies
Speaker 1: are buying fentanyl unless you like have terrible pain and
Speaker 1: like you know, like you don't have a health insurance,
Speaker 1: maybe using it like that, or again they wondering if
Speaker 1: they're so he that's maybe. Now, look, we're gonna get Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna allow that your kids are doing drugs,
Speaker 1: but they were gonna they're gonna be clean drug that
Speaker 1: was gonna work with the with the Republican I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't think through things. I'm just word salading talking points.
Speaker 1: I said Border Fenton all Saints, so you could you
Speaker 1: could save your kids, could safely feed their coke having
Speaker 1: and not have to worry about it. And maybe that's
Speaker 1: what he does or doesn't mean, but it's just wild,
Speaker 1: like because like you're saying, what if they win in
Speaker 1: the house, they're going to They're not going to advance
Speaker 1: a single fucking bill that would help anybody. If anything,
Speaker 1: they're going to try and dismantle any progress that's been made,
Speaker 1: because that's the whole thing. The lack of forward progress
Speaker 1: is exactly what Republicans need because the less progress there is,
Speaker 1: the more people that are on the edge, and the
Speaker 1: more people that are on the edge, the more susceptible
Speaker 1: they are to their autocratic bullshit, and they need that.
Speaker 1: They can't have people that are supported or people who
Speaker 1: are like getting in touch with their like worker power
Speaker 1: and ship like that. That's completely antithetical to like this
Speaker 1: the sort of environment they need to sort of you know,
Speaker 1: swoop in and get all these votes that they think
Speaker 1: they can get. And it's just wild. Watching their whole
Speaker 1: platform is just basically shift. Like it's it's watching them
Speaker 1: kind of deal with this shift in like the racial
Speaker 1: status quo or like just like white male dominance, because
Speaker 1: that's all everything that's like it's a reaction to all
Speaker 1: of this, and it's like I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what phase of like the Coobler Ross grief cycle they're in,
Speaker 1: Like there, we're definitely past denial. That may have been
Speaker 1: like five years ago or something, and then yeah, like
Speaker 1: we're we're fully in anger mode. We are fully in
Speaker 1: anger mode. Like of all this ship, like you know,
Speaker 1: think of any time you felt wrong, like you first
Speaker 1: you're like, no, it's not that bad, and then you
Speaker 1: start going, man, you know what if only this motherfucker
Speaker 1: did this, or if only this ship happened, if only
Speaker 1: these people weren't in the way, That's what all their
Speaker 1: legislation looks like. It's just going outward and being like funk,
Speaker 1: all these just putting everybody like just there an attack mode.
Speaker 1: And I mean if there's if Americans are smart enough
Speaker 1: and their numbers decrease, you know, an elected office, and
Speaker 1: maybe we'll see them start bargaining in a weird way,
Speaker 1: or maybe they're bargaining now, you know, because right now
Speaker 1: they're like, oh ship xenophobia is not working, Oh ship
Speaker 1: Q and on not What the fun? Who do I
Speaker 1: gotta embrace now? But yeah, it's just wild to watch it,
Speaker 1: you know, because at the end of the day, all
Speaker 1: they want is to watch people suffer. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: scary to think there's no like logical and in sight,
Speaker 1: because I think you've you've dismantled the idea of like
Speaker 1: thinking rationally, right, so like you've basically programmed them to
Speaker 1: say anything that is brought out there is a conspiracy theory, right,
Speaker 1: so you know Bill Gates is behind everything that's happening
Speaker 1: and this is behind this, right. Uh? And so where
Speaker 1: do you you end at that point? Because to me,
Speaker 1: even one thing I would I might have thought for
Speaker 1: a while they Okay, well Donald Trump gets like the
Speaker 1: charges come up and and he gets you know, you know,
Speaker 1: held to justice for any of the things that he's done.
Speaker 1: There's solid proof, and maybe that will kind of begin
Speaker 1: to like settle things, but that might actually make things
Speaker 1: even work because these people might then be even more
Speaker 1: angry and feel like they you know, have to quote
Speaker 1: unquote save this this country, and things get even crazy,
Speaker 1: you know. So yeah, I don't know. I just trying
Speaker 1: to wrap my head around, like what does the end
Speaker 1: of this really scary story we're living in, you know,
Speaker 1: look like, I mean, there is a logic where with
Speaker 1: you know, they they're doubling down on a nonfunctioning society,
Speaker 1: the nonfunctioning you know civilization that we have right now,
Speaker 1: and the primary like symptoms of of that is you know,
Speaker 1: profound spiritual emptiness and deep, deep loneliness, and drugs is
Speaker 1: one of the most popular ways of dealing with that.
Speaker 1: So maybe they're gonna just be like, we're the drugs party, man,
Speaker 1: we gotta we're gonna make sure your drugs are clean,
Speaker 1: like so much all the way. Yeah, just like Brave
Speaker 1: New World. It like what ifs did that that would
Speaker 1: actually like can you get some drugs for this weekend?
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, I got the Homy Tucker Brow Connecticut
Speaker 1: bro histor fired and say and safe. It'll work around
Speaker 1: those conservative drug dealers. Yeah, that's the your kids doing
Speaker 1: drugs with ventinyl and it is like the they're so
Speaker 1: desperate for a you know, the immigration situation to like
Speaker 1: affect them negatively in some way that they're they're just
Speaker 1: reaching there like your kids, man. I mean they when
Speaker 1: they go to cut up a line, you know, like
Speaker 1: whoa whoa, whoa what speaking to the base of you know,
Speaker 1: other senators and free base out of their house members. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But like again, like this is just sort of fits
Speaker 1: in two with like the Santis is Martha's Vineyard, you know,
Speaker 1: human circus in his mind, his mind, he's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. The playbook is cruelty. I get that's
Speaker 1: what every Republican knows. The playbook is fucking cruelty right now.
Speaker 1: And so again it was no surprise when he's taking
Speaker 1: living human beings as like ponds and like I r
Speaker 1: L ship post, like when he rounded up migrants under
Speaker 1: like this like the false pretenses and flying them to
Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard and his hope, like you know, you could
Speaker 1: you could tell what his idea was, because basically Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson like just completely messaged this like a month or
Speaker 1: two ago to him being like, and what if the
Speaker 1: migrants went to Martha's Vineyard. I'm sure the liberal elites
Speaker 1: there would would surely at that point not would have
Speaker 1: to be would have to deal with the reality because
Speaker 1: they're so far away from the southern border, etcetera. So
Speaker 1: they show up there, and he was probably thinking that
Speaker 1: these people would be like gross, get him out. I'm
Speaker 1: sure maybe some people were. But on the other hand,
Speaker 1: there are other people like, holy shit, what happened? This
Speaker 1: will just what And they just dumped you here? Do
Speaker 1: you know anybody here? No? Okay, you do have a
Speaker 1: place to stay, well, ship, here's food. Well you don't
Speaker 1: got a ship and and now he's looking at multiple
Speaker 1: investigations of like lawsuits, and this whole stunt is really
Speaker 1: beginning to look like now like a one point six
Speaker 1: million dollar tax funded event. And this is now it's
Speaker 1: not only Piste off, like like Hispanic voters in floor
Speaker 1: and just around the country. He's also upset like fellow
Speaker 1: trash governor Homie greg Abbott because De Santis as we
Speaker 1: know that they are not where's their border, Like they
Speaker 1: don't have a southern border. I mean aside from yes,
Speaker 1: people who might be coming over the ocean or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it's not in the same way like in terms
Speaker 1: of the discourse that were conservatives talk about the border
Speaker 1: and Abbott was like, what the funk, bro, Like, you're
Speaker 1: just coming to my state and grabbing people up. And
Speaker 1: I don't think it was that, it was like it
Speaker 1: was inhumane. It's what put greg Abbott off. It's like, bro,
Speaker 1: you can't come into my fucking state and do this
Speaker 1: kind of ship and not tell me about it. Now
Speaker 1: now now I'm dragged into it now, like we didn't
Speaker 1: really get our story straight. So now that like I
Speaker 1: feel like most of America has been aligned on how
Speaker 1: just terrible. This like stupid fucking stunt was De Santis
Speaker 1: is now trying to paint like like this as part
Speaker 1: of his outstanding record on helping people, he said. The
Speaker 1: office said, quote, Florida gave them an opportunity to see
Speaker 1: greener pastures in a sanctuary juristic that offered greater resources
Speaker 1: for them. They have been provided accommodations, sustenance, clothing, and
Speaker 1: more options to succeed. That wasn't from the state. That
Speaker 1: was from the people there who responded to seeing other
Speaker 1: humans get dumped off like garbage. That wasn't because of
Speaker 1: the would say like, oh, there's great sanctuary jurisdictions, so
Speaker 1: it's this this it's wild. And then again see the
Speaker 1: same playbook like white supremacists are using in the sixties
Speaker 1: with like what they call reverse freedom rides, where they're like,
Speaker 1: how about we get you out the South black people,
Speaker 1: and we'll tell well, here's a one way bus ticket
Speaker 1: to a northern city, will lie to you and tell
Speaker 1: you there's all this, that and the other, and it's
Speaker 1: not there. But guess what, you've got no way back now.
Speaker 1: M And it's weird like dramas when you say, like,
Speaker 1: what's too much because Jared Kushner, like obviously he's a
Speaker 1: good barometer of like what's like what's going to be
Speaker 1: the most self serving take right now? And and he
Speaker 1: wasn't doubling down. He's he actually used the phrase, we
Speaker 1: have to remember these are human beings. So so it's
Speaker 1: clear enough to the self, you know, like the ghouls
Speaker 1: who are like always acting in self preservations, like fucking
Speaker 1: go that far. That's how you know you funked up
Speaker 1: when Jared Christier becomes a voice of reason. Yea, but
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, like and now, like Charlie christ his
Speaker 1: opponent that's running against him in the in the election,
Speaker 1: you know, like this one pole has Chris now in
Speaker 1: the lead, like it's it's like inverted and other people
Speaker 1: I think more realistically it's I think it's probably just tightening.
Speaker 1: But it was one percent, like many people like this
Speaker 1: just that just looked like a stunt really and that
Speaker 1: maybe only energized like five of your voters really in
Speaker 1: a way that they're like, yep, that's it right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you hope that you know that this was like a
Speaker 1: terrible thing that leads to somebody like him getting ousted,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? From from his his seat.
Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of what the only thing you
Speaker 1: can kind of hope out of this thing. But I'm
Speaker 1: still pestive missed the regardless of any of those poles
Speaker 1: or anythink that, because it just seems it nothing really
Speaker 1: that there's so many there's far more hardcore like lovers
Speaker 1: of this whole maga ideal that like nothing is too
Speaker 1: far for them. So I don't ever want to get
Speaker 1: like optimistic, like, Okay, is this gonna be the thing
Speaker 1: that wakes people up? You know, yeah, you know it's
Speaker 1: I don't think it ever will. I think the only
Speaker 1: thing is to see that like more people are just
Speaker 1: becoming savvier, and I guess what's sad is like the
Speaker 1: bar for how savvy are is like, can you see
Speaker 1: someone being mistreated and be like that's not good? That's
Speaker 1: like objectively, yeah, some people are. I think some people
Speaker 1: are at it's bad. Pr other people may have graduated
Speaker 1: to the next level of sympathy and empathy and be like,
Speaker 1: that is not good to do it to another human
Speaker 1: person because I wouldn't want that to happen to me.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think all of this shows though, like
Speaker 1: that for all of the you know, influence that they
Speaker 1: have over the movement, Like it's just it should become
Speaker 1: clear to just most people. That's like they're never offering
Speaker 1: somebody like a better life actually, like as their campaign promised,
Speaker 1: Like they're just like we will make motherfucker's cry and
Speaker 1: live and fear. Are y'all good? Are y'all also upset that,
Speaker 1: like you see too many people who don't look like
Speaker 1: you know, this town used to look around. Okay, then
Speaker 1: we can do something about that, and we can just
Speaker 1: wallow in our inability to like grieve the fact that
Speaker 1: maybe the country is changing and it's time to embrace
Speaker 1: something different. I think that the country is better when
Speaker 1: it's not all elderly white men running the whole fucking thing.
Speaker 1: And that's what hurts them most of all, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and that's why they're so I think
Speaker 1: you were right on that they're just stuck in the
Speaker 1: anger stage of coping. And that's that's the only stage
Speaker 1: of coping that really works with the you know, overall
Speaker 1: Republican comportment, you know, is of of toxic masculinity is
Speaker 1: just being mad and trying to hurt people absolutely, and
Speaker 1: it takes so many like that's I feel like so
Speaker 1: many people just get stuck in any like any situation
Speaker 1: where you're actually like, if you're grieving anything like, anger
Speaker 1: is the one I think that feels the most, like
Speaker 1: feels right to a lot of people. And then obviously
Speaker 1: like depression and many other things too, but it feels
Speaker 1: like a lot of people get stuck in the angry part.
Speaker 1: And you meet people to like who have gone through
Speaker 1: tragedies and like that's usually the thing that when they
Speaker 1: have breakthroughs as human beings is that like I got
Speaker 1: I let go of the anger. Well, the anger is
Speaker 1: the easiest thing, right you can You can be upset
Speaker 1: with a tragedy, happy in your life, and you can
Speaker 1: go out and be cursing people out on the street
Speaker 1: or in your car or whatever. Right, Like that's the
Speaker 1: easiest emotion to sort of live in and to get
Speaker 1: some sort of like instant gratification, you know if you like, yeah, exactly, yeah,
Speaker 1: And people have turned their whole car into I am
Speaker 1: not over whatever, I'm grieving with all my bumper stickers.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, fuck you, Nancy. You know we need
Speaker 1: to make the tdzy bumpers ticker. I am not over whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm grieving just right, exactly, but do it. That's truly
Speaker 1: all these people like you. They never they're incapable of
Speaker 1: having an actual discussion on the merits or about policy
Speaker 1: because they're not even existing in a world where there
Speaker 1: are some policy based solutions to anything or solutions to anything.
Speaker 1: They're living there. They're caught in this like anger cycle
Speaker 1: of I don't have this or I feel like life
Speaker 1: can be better, which many people are experiencing, but they're
Speaker 1: firmly in the column of and I know exactly who
Speaker 1: to blame and it's the wrong people, rather than okay,
Speaker 1: how many of us can accept that the world needs
Speaker 1: to change and then find a way to energize yourself
Speaker 1: to say, well, there's a direction I can move in,
Speaker 1: rather than just turn the heat up on my ass
Speaker 1: and just fucking be a pot that boils over and
Speaker 1: eventually causes the kitchen fire. Yeah, I am curious how
Speaker 1: this read how the Martha's bingerd stunt red in right
Speaker 1: wing media, like it just looked on the front page
Speaker 1: of Fox News to to your point dramas so like it.
Speaker 1: It feels like, yeah, this is a pretty clear cut
Speaker 1: to this should be just an argument and of itself
Speaker 1: to everybody, But front page of Fox News is not
Speaker 1: mentioning this story at all. Instead, the only De Santis
Speaker 1: story they have Florida Democrat county commissioner proudly endorses de Santis.
Speaker 1: He's done an incredible job, so which feels like kind
Speaker 1: of a week. Yeah, I'm sure it's hugely within their interests.
Speaker 1: Like I think Fox News generally, when you hear people
Speaker 1: talk about what the murdocks in charge want, they want
Speaker 1: De Santis to be the president and Trump to be
Speaker 1: kind of out of the So the fact that the
Speaker 1: best they can do right now, as we're this close
Speaker 1: to the midterms is have a county commissioner endorsing RN
Speaker 1: de Santis is pretty I don't know, man, I think
Speaker 1: they want I think they wanted better for this Martha's
Speaker 1: bingerd story they got one. One went up this morning.
Speaker 1: Florida based hispanding conservatives approve of de santisism market strategy
Speaker 1: to spite media narrative. That's one of the main things.
Speaker 1: And they based this on a poll that they did
Speaker 1: on Fox News Digital of their own viewers. Like man,
Speaker 1: that it's just the media fucking cycle of Like algorithmic
Speaker 1: giving you exactly what you want, you know, just like
Speaker 1: social media. And I think that's the answer as to
Speaker 1: why people aren't getting awake, And it's just because they
Speaker 1: keep getting inundated with things that just continue to double
Speaker 1: down on the bullshit that they Professor Charles Xavier proves
Speaker 1: that things can be done merely through thought, which is
Speaker 1: very we do an X men lure. Now, Professor x
Speaker 1: is now giving you know, credence to the idea that
Speaker 1: fucking Trump can declassific for sure. I love that. Okay, Fox,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're ac And it's not just Jeanette McCurdy who's
Speaker 1: glad their mom died, King Charles also because now he's
Speaker 1: the king, and now that the official period of mourning
Speaker 1: has passed for Libby two, it's now it's time to
Speaker 1: see what has happened, now that the dust has settled,
Speaker 1: just a couple of this kind of quick things to
Speaker 1: touch on. His space will be on bank notes and
Speaker 1: coins starting in the middle of So get ready for that.
Speaker 1: Which face does he get to choose you? It has
Speaker 1: to be this one, right his current because that's when
Speaker 1: he was named King exactly something with my regal visage
Speaker 1: upon it. No, I would not want I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: would I would want like my two year old face
Speaker 1: or something on this not where he's at now. He
Speaker 1: looks like someone put him in the microwave for a
Speaker 1: couple Do you think if he was in a like
Speaker 1: if he was in a Pixar movie, he could be like, yo, actually,
Speaker 1: could you put my Pixar rendering with like the monster's
Speaker 1: inc Like if you have got the cloud, you got
Speaker 1: the cloud as King. And I'm just saying, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna be on money, I would want to look good.
Speaker 1: What's the point of being should being on money? Like
Speaker 1: I think Danny, you would feel a little gross if
Speaker 1: your face was on money. Like like you, as the
Speaker 1: person that you are, I think you would want to
Speaker 1: have fun. I know you're you also have a sense
Speaker 1: of humor, and I feel like you would maybe lean
Speaker 1: into the humor of it more than like, no, this
Speaker 1: is I'm gonna look. I'm just saying, all of our
Speaker 1: presidents that are on money was at the end of
Speaker 1: their life. I know for Abraham Lincoln it was, but
Speaker 1: for all the other presidents was at the end of
Speaker 1: their life that was snapshot and put on that bill
Speaker 1: or was it when they first you know, Like I'm
Speaker 1: just saying he I'm just saying he doesn't look great. Okay,
Speaker 1: How does Andrew Jackson look the healthiest when he was
Speaker 1: one of the most evil motherfuckers? Like you should look
Speaker 1: more like ship dude. But so do they always have
Speaker 1: to do this? I don't pay attention to British Do
Speaker 1: they always have to change the money when anything else anymore? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think the Canadian dollar farmember correctly, Like Elizabeth looks
Speaker 1: younger on that right, And that's why Like Australians are like,
Speaker 1: we want fucking that, We want the crocodile hunter instead
Speaker 1: Mr Irwin rather than fucking the queen on such a waste?
Speaker 1: Do they retire though, Like I'm sorry, I'm fascinated by this,
Speaker 1: but that's such a waste, Like we don't do they
Speaker 1: just like take out all those all the ones with
Speaker 1: her face and they don't know if they're like shelding
Speaker 1: them down or restamping them or I'm not sure. However, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's UK is like gang, let us know what happens
Speaker 1: to all that? Oh, here we go, here's an article
Speaker 1: what happens to the bank notes featuring the revered monarch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I think they just start circulating that out.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you get new twenties and ship.
Speaker 1: Like sometimes you're like, oh, shop, you got one of
Speaker 1: these old twenties. Okay, drug dealer, so you're not interacting
Speaker 1: with banks and ship. I got a two dollar bill
Speaker 1: and I thought it was so cool, but I tried
Speaker 1: to use it to buy a lottery ticket and it
Speaker 1: rejected it, what like in a machine. Yeah, because this
Speaker 1: is legal tender. So exactly, this is illegal. Take this money,
Speaker 1: make this money. Ain't no way you could take this
Speaker 1: from me anyway. Shut out bad Boy Records. This is
Speaker 1: another thing I do want to touch on the Royal
Speaker 1: Family's website, just so you notice our our homies have
Speaker 1: been demoted. Okay, So when you go to the Royal
Speaker 1: Family page on the Royal die u K, you say, okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Members of the Royal family. You got
Speaker 1: obviously the King and then A got their own ship.
Speaker 1: Then we got the Princess of Wales. Oh wait, hold on,

Speaker 1: the Duke of Gloucester. Now we got the Dutchess, one
Speaker 1: of those white men and they were like, oh, I
Speaker 1: think it's this dude in the corner where he's cut off. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: I told you the framing. Whoever did the ux on

Speaker 1: Prince Andrew. They moved Harry and Megan's as all the
Speaker 1: way to the fucking bottom. You know what's funny. This
Speaker 1: is a petty move like blocking someone that's actually a blessing, right,
Speaker 1: Like if someone I loathe blocks me, that somebody have
Speaker 1: to see your face anywhere, like casual strains, what a blessing?
Speaker 1: Like you think you're hurting me, But this is so wonderful.
Speaker 1: I feel the same way here. People who are ever
Speaker 1: going to visit this website and take a look at it,
Speaker 1: you should be thinking about them last anyway, they'll be
Speaker 1: checking in on them. Don't talk to them. You're because
Speaker 1: either you came here for Megan and Harry or you
Speaker 1: came for these other folks and most likely to see
Speaker 1: the other folks. So put them at the bottom and
Speaker 1: get them out of everybody else's mind. So yeah, you're like, good,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm at the bottom of your dusty ass website. Sucks.
Speaker 1: You can be anywhere near you. You can't sign a
Speaker 1: document without having a hissy fit, and you're not even
Speaker 1: running this country, like you're not, You're just a figurehead. Well,
Speaker 1: they say this is the intentional move by racist King
Speaker 1: Grandpa because since they want to be all woken ship
Speaker 1: and not, you know, keep their distance from the royal family, okay,
Speaker 1: and then you can be with the worst of the princess.
Speaker 1: You married a beautiful woman and I lost one, like
Speaker 1: an idiot. Sucks. You just lost one. And finally this
Speaker 1: one really rubbed me the wrong way. I don't know
Speaker 1: why a Prince George William's son, Prince William's son is
Speaker 1: out here flexing on his classmates saying, quote, my father
Speaker 1: will be king, so you better watch out and quote
Speaker 1: this is from royal reporters. Now they're saying he's just
Speaker 1: being cheeky and a young man. No, he's I've been
Speaker 1: I've had motherfucker sation like this to me to my
Speaker 1: face as a kid. We've all been around some kids
Speaker 1: like my dad's a cop, my dad's a lawyer. You
Speaker 1: better shut the funk up, man, see. And I'm like, also,
Speaker 1: this prince, you see the tough guy now, huh, because
Speaker 1: you're dead king? Oh my god? Him and is Draco
Speaker 1: malfoy as it is a little bitome of like oh
Speaker 1: Doyle rules, Like I just I know this kid. We
Speaker 1: all have dealt with this kid. We've all dealt with
Speaker 1: like the rich, the richest kid in class. What's weirdest,
Speaker 1: Like we know how his dad was in high school,
Speaker 1: which is similar to this, is that how William was too? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he was all rolic he was like William
Speaker 1: was a teen heartthrob. Let's me forget children. If you
Speaker 1: only know William about his looks, now, go ahead and
Speaker 1: take a peek around ninety six when he was your age,
Speaker 1: and he would be like holy craft and so yeah,
Speaker 1: he was out here for it's cheating on Cape back then.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, this is not at all. He's a
Speaker 1: wealthy white kid who family thinks they were in a country,
Speaker 1: Like of course he's going to have this kind of
Speaker 1: inflated ego and disconnect from you know, regular people. I
Speaker 1: read that ship and I go, oh man, he's getting
Speaker 1: bullied that Like that's like snitching, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like if you said I don't know why, Like this
Speaker 1: was just kind of the thing. Like the kids that
Speaker 1: would say ship like that where like the most insecure
Speaker 1: kids obviously because they have to be like I'm bolstering
Speaker 1: my identity. VI's av my connection to this external thing,
Speaker 1: my dad or a parent who was a lawyer. And
Speaker 1: then but they would always be like bullying you about ship.
Speaker 1: I don't. This reminds me of somebody very specifically. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna drop names, but there they will always talk
Speaker 1: about their parents doing this. I'm like, bro, I'm here
Speaker 1: right now, in your face, now something, now give me yours.
Speaker 1: The other kind of treatment which is adored to their face,
Speaker 1: which just smoked behind their back. You know, it was
Speaker 1: just I think it's much more painful because then the
Speaker 1: delusion is built around them so that they don't no
Speaker 1: one until they're actually face to face with it. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's yeah, it's a that's a tall order to be
Speaker 1: raised in like a royal family. And like literally you're like,
Speaker 1: and Daddy's gonna be king. You're like in the weird
Speaker 1: TV shit I watch Oh that's cool, watch me be unrelatable. Also,
Speaker 1: like your whole entire family, like the stuff that the
Speaker 1: insults people can use against. It's like your whole entire
Speaker 1: family is in the tabloid like their business. Your dad
Speaker 1: cheated on your mom is like constantly with our best friends. Yeah, guys,
Speaker 1: goes back. You are you look like a thumb, You
Speaker 1: are a three and you're with a ten. Although I've
Speaker 1: heard that she's not very nice either. So I I'm
Speaker 1: just a harry and after this, could you imagine one
Speaker 1: day I'm just a girl at school who literally falls
Speaker 1: in love with a prince, literally falled like live the
Speaker 1: fairy tale at a young age. I went through hell
Speaker 1: with that, just from a like first love standpoint, gets married,
Speaker 1: it's called like held up to crazy high. Sanders were like,
Speaker 1: it's the most beautiful pride and it's like the first
Speaker 1: world wedding and forever. And then everyone turns on you.
Speaker 1: It's including your husband and you have girl friends inside.
Speaker 1: What a miserable are you talking about Princess Diana prince?
Speaker 1: Because he's heard that same story they had similar Who
Speaker 1: are you talking about there? Kate? I was talking about Kate,
Speaker 1: but they do you have early life? Because I was like, boit,
Speaker 1: I hope you know that obviously, like I feel everything
Speaker 1: fallen like brown person is a Princess Diana fan. Of course, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny. And then for Kate to be like and
Speaker 1: then if you're when everyone's talking about your sisters. But
Speaker 1: and that's what it was. Wasn't that her sister? It
Speaker 1: was Pip, Pippa Peppa? What's your Wasn't that like I
Speaker 1: remember that was like the meme from that wedding was
Speaker 1: like a Pippa get out the way y'all here were
Speaker 1: because she was the next one to get married. They're like, Oh,
Speaker 1: she's she's married. Who Who's next? But I want to
Speaker 1: keep kind of checking in with them because the Netflix
Speaker 1: they release the teaser for the new season of The
Speaker 1: Crown and it's all about Charles and Diana's divorce, and
Speaker 1: I guess the you know, the real royal family, they're
Speaker 1: freaking out because they are worried everyone is gonna realize
Speaker 1: that Charles fucking sucks. It will introduce an entire new
Speaker 1: generation to the scandal in a way that us simply
Speaker 1: telling them about it cannot. Like oh, the TikTok discourse
Speaker 1: alone bring it straight into my veins when I watched
Speaker 1: these kids lap this up and be like, look at
Speaker 1: the how they clamored to both Princess Diana movies and
Speaker 1: we already have like Princess Diana, Um, what do they
Speaker 1: call those fan videos that they make pancams. Yes, those things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love. However they frame it, it'll always be like
Speaker 1: did you know that Prince Harry's dad is actually also
Speaker 1: a king and that he They always do it like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the deal. They're like, this is Sofia Coppola, this
Speaker 1: is Nicholas Cage, this is Francis Ford Coppola, this is
Speaker 1: Jason Schwartzman. Here's the deal. They're all in the same family,
Speaker 1: like wild zooms, and we're like, yeah, what is cute?
Speaker 1: I told my parents. I was like, you guys, hear
Speaker 1: this really old band named Queen and they were like,
Speaker 1: sweet baby chap Down. I was a nine year old
Speaker 1: girls hit my first running with Freddie Burkeury. I was like,
Speaker 1: there's just been Queen. They are amazing. We're like where
Speaker 1: we know? That was me when Wayne's World came out
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, we gotta get the soundtrack for
Speaker 1: this one song and they're like what and I played it.
Speaker 1: They're like, motherfucker are you for we have this album
Speaker 1: like we just bought this old dusty cassette tape. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So now the family has really planned apparently they have
Speaker 1: some sort of like like planned to protect his reputation.
Speaker 1: I've had no idea. Yeah, like do you have a
Speaker 1: time machine to do that? That seems like an effective way.
Speaker 1: And now the one thing that we've learned is, uh,
Speaker 1: since the queen passed away, she actually watched the Crown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: her like biographer someone said that the queen had a
Speaker 1: habit of settling in to watch the Netflix series on Sundays.
Speaker 1: What did she think, calm in years? What did she
Speaker 1: think about the early relationship with because those early like
Speaker 1: really like passed right as she's getting married and crowned,
Speaker 1: like that ship was Banana's cruel. So much stuff happened.
Speaker 1: And they say Charles might be too, because apparently at
Speaker 1: an event he did like so there he came up
Speaker 1: to a group of people and introduced himself and he
Speaker 1: said hello, quote this is a quote apparently said hello,
Speaker 1: nice to meet you. I'm nowhere near how they portray
Speaker 1: me on Netflix. This is all they have to worry
Speaker 1: about those reputations, so I can exactly. Look, that's how
Speaker 1: Vecna introduces himself at part So you're in good company.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what this plan is exactly, because
Speaker 1: there's nothing really you can do except for I don't know,
Speaker 1: just seed stories like in the paper, but like in
Speaker 1: the UK culture secretary tried to add a health warning
Speaker 1: to this show, being like, hey, this is fictional, just
Speaker 1: so y'all know. And then last November the royal family
Speaker 1: had sought legal advice for how to deal with this show.
Speaker 1: But at the time it would be like for a
Speaker 1: potential libel case for the queen. But now that she is,
Speaker 1: you know, she's in the ether, maybe there's no there's
Speaker 1: no case there. But just an interesting sidebar from our
Speaker 1: writer JM. Like you know, like when you read all
Speaker 1: these things, like or when you watch a like a
Speaker 1: historical drama or whatever, like even if it is historical,
Speaker 1: they'll always be like, this is a work of fiction.
Speaker 1: Any similarity to actual persons living or dead, or actual events.
Speaker 1: It's purely coincidental. That came about because of a lawsuit
Speaker 1: involving a royal family, specifically the exiled Russian prince who
Speaker 1: had murdered Rasputant. He sue would MGM or but his
Speaker 1: wife actually sued MGM after they made a Rasputant film
Speaker 1: because in the film the prince was like, yes, I
Speaker 1: did admitted to killing Rasputin, but his wife's character was
Speaker 1: sexually assaulted by Rasputin in the film, which didn't happen
Speaker 1: in real life, and MGM was like, Yo, you're adding
Speaker 1: this like salacious thing in there that has is not
Speaker 1: is completely inaccurate. And when they were warned of the
Speaker 1: you know quote factual discrepancy, they fired the woman who
Speaker 1: was doing the research. Yeah, and then so the Prince's
Speaker 1: wife won the lawsuit and a judge was basically like,
Speaker 1: you should add a disclaimer to the movie, And eventually
Speaker 1: all movies started doing similar things just to avoid litigation.
Speaker 1: So shi It is wild and never ending. I do
Speaker 1: want to talk about one thing though, while we're still here,
Speaker 1: because we do have time. Rather, I'm gonna make time
Speaker 1: speaking of upcoming projects. We were just before we started recording,
Speaker 1: we saw the headline about the upcoming Blade film, which
Speaker 1: I am very very excited about, and apparently that ma
Speaker 1: hershela Ali, who is playing Blade Academy Award winner, is
Speaker 1: unhappy with the script. I just want to put that
Speaker 1: out here, as I know we're various fans for various reasons,
Speaker 1: but what the is do you think the script is
Speaker 1: that bad? Like? How bad does a film have to
Speaker 1: be for the actor to be like, yo, should they
Speaker 1: lost their director Pasantari right before shooting. It's not good.
Speaker 1: The rumor is just that apparently there's two fight scenes.
Speaker 1: It's not really connected. People feel Kevin is not there
Speaker 1: enough for whatever that means. Kevin running an entire studio.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much he's visiting each individual project. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I hope they figure it out.
Speaker 1: Marcillity is an Oscar winner. This is his first really
Speaker 1: big project post that Oscar. We've seen what happens to
Speaker 1: great black Oscar winners who went superhero movies with terrible
Speaker 1: scripts and not great during action. We don't need a
Speaker 1: Halleyberry repeat. Okay, she deserved better, Martiala deserves better. Bleed, Like,
Speaker 1: come on, it's gonna be so sick if you get
Speaker 1: it right. So I just hope they'd bring in uh
Speaker 1: A new writer. Franklin Leonard, who I know has been
Speaker 1: on the show before and created the Blacklist, said I
Speaker 1: have no sacred influence over this process, but I would
Speaker 1: love to see what Gina price blythe would I would
Speaker 1: do with it. She just did the Woman King, So
Speaker 1: maybe Marvel's listening. Who's writing the script now? I don't
Speaker 1: know who the writer is on Blade. I think the
Speaker 1: only thing that I would say is, um at this point,
Speaker 1: there are so many people to service. There's so many
Speaker 1: you could and by that I mean like so many characters. No,
Speaker 1: no longer do you have just typically solo films that
Speaker 1: are completely on their own. You are, like we saw
Speaker 1: with Doctor Strange, the recent Doctor Strange, they had to
Speaker 1: infuse multiple other characters right in there. Um One was
Speaker 1: the introduction of America Javes. And so I feel like
Speaker 1: with Blade, it's not just because of how many um
Speaker 1: how it has to also infuse with the Disney Plus shows,
Speaker 1: it just does like all has to be canonical. That
Speaker 1: that can be a lot for anyone undertaking this to
Speaker 1: you're not typically just making a Blade movie. You're making
Speaker 1: a Blade plus an introduction to maybe the X Men
Speaker 1: or I don't know, like you're crazy. They're finding crazy
Speaker 1: ways to back back door enter in new characters, to
Speaker 1: build on new Avengers or this or that, and like
Speaker 1: eventually because all of these have to connect, And so
Speaker 1: I do think that that could hurt sometimes. But also
Speaker 1: Marvel always available if you know, I'll send you my
Speaker 1: real I'm repped in by c a A Kevin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: daily's like guys, Kevin, so let me know. You know,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen most of them. I haven't seen a
Speaker 1: lot of your work, So in that way, my brain
Speaker 1: is not tainted. I'm bringing original ideas because i'd know
Speaker 1: about the m c U. So think about that. But
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like with that, they
Speaker 1: made a joke about it and she holk of how
Speaker 1: many cameos that they had to have or we're going
Speaker 1: to have, And I love that they made that joke,
Speaker 1: but I do feel that it every writer that takes
Speaker 1: on something is going to have to make this connect
Speaker 1: in the m c U in multiple ways to both
Speaker 1: the Disney Plus shows and the future films. And so
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that every obviously that every character is
Speaker 1: going to show up, but it does mean that you're
Speaker 1: servicing multiple different storylines. I don't think that Shuan Chi
Speaker 1: had to do that too much, but obviously it was
Speaker 1: setting him up to be joining the Avengers, and so
Speaker 1: we'll the next Captain America film will be introducing and
Speaker 1: so I think maybe people don't always consider that when
Speaker 1: you're taking this on, it's not just typically a solo film.
Speaker 1: It's a solo plus who else are we introducing to them?
Speaker 1: Because even then it's like, because it wasn't Rehearschela sort
Speaker 1: of like teased out at the end of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's just a glimpse of him but just off camera,
Speaker 1: right yeah, right, So like it's even then, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta were so far ahead of it. Okay, make
Speaker 1: sure he gets his little voice in there at the end,
Speaker 1: like Yeah. The writer Stacy ose Kufre, who is best
Speaker 1: known for Watchman and Pen fifteen, So not like a
Speaker 1: very talented writer, obviously, I'm just curious to know, like
Speaker 1: what's going on and how it's happening and why it's
Speaker 1: not working. For several of the leaders on the project,
Speaker 1: I just want a good Blade movie. That's all I'm
Speaker 1: asking for, Like, please figure it out, take another year
Speaker 1: or two, whatever you need to do, but like, please
Speaker 1: give us that for all the half people out there,
Speaker 1: Blade speaks to me, please please, and just I need
Speaker 1: and also just oh man, I just need that music too.
Speaker 1: But I honestly complaint that there's only two fight scenes
Speaker 1: is a little worrying for for a Blade film, like
Speaker 1: unless it's so fucking good, like that there. He's like,
Speaker 1: I know, it only sounds like just to fight scenes,
Speaker 1: but there's a lot. There's a lot of internal fighting
Speaker 1: that's also current off camera, and that is in fact
Speaker 1: the biggest show piece of the film. All Right, that's
Speaker 1: gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeite. Guys, please
Speaker 1: like and review the show. If you like the show,
Speaker 1: uh means the world to Miles. He needs your validation, folks.
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
Speaker 1: talk to him Monday. By
