Speaker 1: I like all three of those things so far. National
Speaker 1: Take a High Day, National Rural Health Day, World Pancreatic

Speaker 1: think is about just saying eight man with the six
Speaker 1: will you Oh, that's not what it sounds like. No,
Speaker 1: it sounds like it sounds like a Cypress hill, like
Speaker 1: Foxerts with like whiz Khalifa nut sound anti smoking. I
Speaker 1: think there was a thing like called that the smoke
Speaker 1: Out for actually only Yeah, there's always like a Great
Speaker 1: America Smoke Out is a great name for a tour. Also,
Speaker 1: Take a Hike Day if that's for if that was
Speaker 1: created to like get people out to the public parks.
Speaker 1: They probably. I don't know if that's good good branding,
Speaker 1: because it's it's all that here is get out of
Speaker 1: here and basically take a hike. Buster, No, but it
Speaker 1: is they want people to take a hike. Anyways, my
Speaker 1: name's Jack O'Brien, a K. Potatoes O'Brien, and I'm thrilled
Speaker 1: to be joined as always by my co host, Mr
Speaker 1: Miles Gras. Let's go to Long Beach really quick. Nomber two,
Speaker 1: Trump announced his run. Tell me where were you? You
Speaker 1: were sitting home watching your TV while the worst human
Speaker 1: beings through a big party. First shot he took was
Speaker 1: that sleepy Joe even they'll put Dema across the mid terms.
Speaker 1: He didn't blow the party would crashing. Trump sounded tired.
Speaker 1: Then he droned on boring. Now we're sounding uninspired. Next
Speaker 1: topic hit what's about the cops? And how would the
Speaker 1: Democrats want violent crime? Didn't never drop. Finally, he then
Speaker 1: mentioned p A and said I never even liked us.
Speaker 1: Plus I think he crazed. Hey, okay, shut out to
Speaker 1: Christy y'amagucci may not wapple house on the Twitter. That
Speaker 1: was also my that was also my ok So that's
Speaker 1: why I Jack was mouthing spirits. It was a duet,
Speaker 1: was spiritual duet because right before he came on, he
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, what's this part of the lyrics And
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, you're gonna do the A K.
Speaker 1: I was like, I got the beat here. He said,
Speaker 1: why don't you saying, miles help me with the phrasing here?
Speaker 1: When did this? When does the syllable hit? Finally? He
Speaker 1: then mentioned p A. No, it's finally we got our
Speaker 1: own p A. That's from the song. Yeah, yeah, great
Speaker 1: AKA from the master and from the master performer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was. I was mouthing the words along. I think
Speaker 1: that's what more actors should do during That's what my
Speaker 1: uh six year old was gonna play on Monday night.
Speaker 1: And he was not just mouthing other people's lines along
Speaker 1: with them. He was pointing to them on stage when
Speaker 1: it was their turn to deliver the line which he's
Speaker 1: on it he's on? Did he pointed himself when he
Speaker 1: had a line them? No, he really came alive for
Speaker 1: his lines, like you know, would like put put on
Speaker 1: a big smile and really project when it was his lines.
Speaker 1: And then when I tell you, his body language just
Speaker 1: completely slumped over like he would deliver his lines and
Speaker 1: then just like he plays Crutchy in New Seas and
Speaker 1: so he would go from like, you know, being really animated,
Speaker 1: looking at the audience, like saying his line, and then
Speaker 1: just like basically comatose when other people were saying their lines.
Speaker 1: He's not a very he's not a giving actor. But yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: look he's on his way. He's on his own way. Anyways, Miles.
Speaker 1: We are thrilled to be joined in their third Sea
Speaker 1: by the creator and co host of the Webby Award
Speaker 1: winning podcast Unlady Like Please, welcome back to the show,
Speaker 1: Kristen Conga. Hello, so much for having me back, to
Speaker 1: have you back with Jack here with me here. This
Speaker 1: is our first time meeting. I know Hi, Hi, I'm Jack.
Speaker 1: It's great to meet you. Pleasure. It's me Miles from
Speaker 1: the Sublime song I'm here. How are you doing. I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I right before I fell asleep last night,
Speaker 1: because I'm on the East Coast, I got a little
Speaker 1: New York Times alert and I made the mistake of
Speaker 1: opening it. Yeah, but that way I could then turned
Speaker 1: to my husband say, hey, are you trying to not
Speaker 1: off to sleep, because guess who's running for president Donald
Speaker 1: Trump again. That's some responsive like one of one of
Speaker 1: those big, like broad like mainstream democratic accounts. The Rex Chapman,
Speaker 1: the NBA for former NBA player Rex Chapman. His response was,
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. I was like, Yo, you
Speaker 1: didn't think he was gonna run like I just the
Speaker 1: whole time. I didn't. I didn't think this time he
Speaker 1: was going to be a pathological narcissist. Who can't. It's
Speaker 1: physically incapable of doing the thing that will get his
Speaker 1: name in headlines right and also his like only way
Speaker 1: out of all his legal trouble, as he sees it,
Speaker 1: it's just to become president again. No he of course, yeah,
Speaker 1: how could he will? He's surprised us. All the timing
Speaker 1: also really stepped on Tiffany's wedding, because just yesterday I
Speaker 1: was enjoying some unhinged tiktoks of whatever was happening at
Speaker 1: that reception. So I wouldn't have minded, you know, having
Speaker 1: you know, just having a little extra time to really
Speaker 1: so called that spectacle in but you know, we know
Speaker 1: he hates Tiffany, So wait what happened at Tiffany's winning
Speaker 1: the most I saw was like the shade of Ivanka
Speaker 1: cropping out Kim Gilfoyle in an all black dress, which
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, fair and also she's like, oh
Speaker 1: my fucking idiot, brother's girlfriend's ruining the picture crop her out?
Speaker 1: But wait, what was it going on at the reception? Okay?
Speaker 1: So what I saw was imagine a dance floor and
Speaker 1: there were like it was there was like a ring
Speaker 1: of professional dancers who were in gold gowns and blind folds. Yep,
Speaker 1: it was odd. And they started doing just a bizarre
Speaker 1: dance that I guess was like the opening the entrance
Speaker 1: for Tiffany and whatever her like new husband's name is.
Speaker 1: Like that was their like walk in song and it
Speaker 1: was the strangest like weird sn m meets prom s vibe.
Speaker 1: I had no idea what was happening, but it felt
Speaker 1: I guess for the occasion. It feels like like like
Speaker 1: artsy from an eighties movie like that. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: getting from that, Like whoa, Okay, hold on now, I
Speaker 1: just found that. I'll share the screen here. It's definitely
Speaker 1: right some weirdness. It's like what the fuck, like eyes
Speaker 1: wide shut shut. Yeah, they have something in their like
Speaker 1: cash gag balls or something. It's just the yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like they literally made them sign indias and then
Speaker 1: gold rose. They're holding a gold rose like bloom like
Speaker 1: but it is the biggest gold rose that I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: It really seems like something that they'd be gagging on
Speaker 1: on gold very appropriate for like it's it's to the
Speaker 1: point that if someone were to do a critical like
Speaker 1: if someone like bombed the wedding with like a interpretive
Speaker 1: dance performance, this might be what they do to be like,
Speaker 1: you guys are out of touch rich elites. We're going
Speaker 1: to gag ourselves with gold and blindfold ourselves to like
Speaker 1: demonstrate you know, if they were if they were not
Speaker 1: very subtle, I guess that's what they would do to
Speaker 1: criticize the Trumps. But they just did it themselves. It
Speaker 1: turns out Donald Trump not a very thoughtful dad. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he fired at this point designed that much.
Speaker 1: But he is a messy a messy dude, so maybe
Speaker 1: he did design it, or I bet he was sitting
Speaker 1: back and be him like, look at this ship. I do.
Speaker 1: I do love the idea of him choreographing it though,
Speaker 1: like dance were in like a sweatband like two, three, four,
Speaker 1: he's more, he's like, straightened your arm, more, straighten it out?
Speaker 1: Good now, five six boil hold on, let's go back
Speaker 1: to one. You guys are a mess it. Also, yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels like cocaine choreographed this whole thing. So well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the moves are just like sultry vibe poses and
Speaker 1: less like cat booms type stuff. You just feel like,
Speaker 1: all right, man, just do a fucking fat line before
Speaker 1: you go out there and just any morning. All right, well,
Speaker 1: christ and we're gonna get to know you a little
Speaker 1: bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our
Speaker 1: listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We are
Speaker 1: going to talk about Donald Trump's announcement from a couple
Speaker 1: of nights ago. We're going to talk about Twitter's newest advertiser,
Speaker 1: which is Starlink. Oh yes, basically stink Daddy's company. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Daddy's Daddy's every time. It's like something circular spending there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we'll just talk about that. We'll talk about the
Speaker 1: new Olympic mascots, which are here already revealed for and
Speaker 1: they are clearly clit horuses. Really, yeah, for sure, I've
Speaker 1: not seen, okay, which London's was like definitely dick ish.
Speaker 1: And the very first Olympic mascot was a skiing sperm,
Speaker 1: so it's in a grand tradition. But I just I'm
Speaker 1: excited to read to you the marketing that went along
Speaker 1: with because it is apparently these these mascots are going
Speaker 1: to change the world and leave lead us in a
Speaker 1: revolution of Okay, sure you'll be glad to know all
Speaker 1: of that plenty more. But first, Kristen, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Okay,
Speaker 1: this might be one of the saddest things I found
Speaker 1: in my search history. Uh and I am going to
Speaker 1: time stamp it on Friday at eleven forty six pm.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember this, but I googled Fraser Rewatch podcast.
Speaker 1: Thank you, it's about time. Yeah, you know what it,
Speaker 1: Frasier Rewatch podcast. When you type Frasier Rewatch, I guess
Speaker 1: it does pop up, so people are looking for You're
Speaker 1: not alone. I'm not. I'm not alone, but it was
Speaker 1: it was just like one of those one of those
Speaker 1: things that you know. I love Frasier obviously, I've seen
Speaker 1: all the episodes, so I'm now looking for another way
Speaker 1: to like we live all the moments. But I don't
Speaker 1: like seeing that, like that's what I was doing, you know,
Speaker 1: yeah at eleven five on like Kristen, Okay, you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta get out there again, get your life together?
Speaker 1: Was this just like in your Twilight as you're like
Speaker 1: about to fall asleep or like what's the situation here?
Speaker 1: Like why, like what's happening at eleven pm on a Friday?
Speaker 1: Answer crip, I forget. I was putting together some kind
Speaker 1: of podcast something or other and was looking for clips
Speaker 1: and I think I had like fallen down, fallen down,
Speaker 1: some kind of some kind of stairwell Google well, yeah,
Speaker 1: Google rabbit hole and Google and just found myself like, hey,
Speaker 1: toss salad scrambled eggs. It's like that's the name of
Speaker 1: a podcast, like anybody talking about Frasier. I know, like
Speaker 1: all shows a recap now, but I would love that.
Speaker 1: And yeah, apparently Kevin Smith was on that tip like
Speaker 1: um in like the thousands, So it's like, well, and
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be listening to that one. So
Speaker 1: podcasts or a thing, we should get a Frasier rewatch together.
Speaker 1: This is my pitch guys, this is actually what I know.
Speaker 1: When you said that, I was like, there isn't a
Speaker 1: podcast called Toss Salads and Scrambled Eggs. I feel like
Speaker 1: that that's like the the best low hanging fruit name
Speaker 1: for your Frasier rewatch podcasts. Yeah, I mean I might
Speaker 1: have to start it exactly exactly, doesn't even need to
Speaker 1: be related to Fraser. Why not welcome to Toss Salad
Speaker 1: and Scrambled takes, you know, something like that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: just spitball in here. Yeah all right, and you didn't.
Speaker 1: You didn't proceed to listen. You were like, Okay, well
Speaker 1: it exists, and I'm glad glad for that. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't. I didn't dip in there are
Speaker 1: There are were a few different Frasier rewatch podcasts that
Speaker 1: I've found, but they all seemed a bit low quality.
Speaker 1: So maybe there still is room in the market, this
Speaker 1: crowded podcast market for me to get in there with
Speaker 1: my Toss Salad and scrambled eggs. But I I I
Speaker 1: haven't moved I haven't moved forward. I was just rudely
Speaker 1: reminded of of what I'm doing with my spare time
Speaker 1: when I'm looking through. So I I listened to like
Speaker 1: some movie rewatch podcasts, people seem to really prefer the
Speaker 1: ones where the cast is involved, and we we produce
Speaker 1: a couple great ones on our network, so I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about ones where casts of involved. There are some
Speaker 1: great ones where casts involved, but the cast has to
Speaker 1: like be great podcasters, which I feel like is not
Speaker 1: always the case, Like I don't need anyone to watch
Speaker 1: with me? Who was there? Person? How do you guys
Speaker 1: feel about that? Oh? I feel like it. It's only
Speaker 1: like it works when you're getting some really interesting like
Speaker 1: director's commentary type stuff that's like you're like, it's adding
Speaker 1: dimensions to an episode you had no idea about. But
Speaker 1: other than that, like I'd prefer hearing like other people
Speaker 1: who are from the fans side of it, like coming
Speaker 1: at it with their very interesting perspective. But yeah, or
Speaker 1: just being able to be like freely critical of something
Speaker 1: that said, y'all know, Kelsey Grammar would be fantastic on
Speaker 1: a podcast. I don't know that. I'm not not clear
Speaker 1: on that at all, based on some mistakes. Well, clearly
Speaker 1: I've been watching enough Frasier, Like Frasier would be great
Speaker 1: on a podcast, Kelsey Grammar, that's a great point. That's
Speaker 1: a great point. They're kind of one and the same
Speaker 1: to me, you're right, you're right. My paras social relationship
Speaker 1: is like too strong, right, It's like, can you just
Speaker 1: be Frasier Crane when you do this? That would be cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. Maybe Fraser would also have like
Speaker 1: weird vaccine takes and ship like that. You know, Frasier
Speaker 1: might be megas. I don't think so, because his dad
Speaker 1: was the conservative one. Yeah, it was a little more liberal,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, that's but you never know. As Fraser
Speaker 1: gets older, he's getting some more money, just like his dad.
Speaker 1: Wait until you get some more money and you get
Speaker 1: older than Yeah, although I yeah, I think he did.
Speaker 1: I wasn't a huge Frasier head, But now that I
Speaker 1: think about it, just hearing me say Frasier might have
Speaker 1: been Mega would have actually killed Frasier Crane, I think
Speaker 1: is more likely. He's a big, big NPR fan. A
Speaker 1: lot of R totes in that household. Kristen, what is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Okay, this I don't know
Speaker 1: if y'all have spoken of this yet, but what is
Speaker 1: overrated right now is fucking Black Friday. I cannot. I
Speaker 1: I didn't know that we were starting this early. I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm having for my Thanksgiving meal. Don't
Speaker 1: stop coming at me with all of these Black Friday
Speaker 1: deals because what now? What is what is even that day?
Speaker 1: You know, like capitalism, stop it. It's obvious we need
Speaker 1: to extend Halloween. If we're going to extend anything, don't
Speaker 1: extend back up with Black Friday. And I gotta got
Speaker 1: a text even yesterday from a family member who shall
Speaker 1: not be named, since there's like a secret Santa situation
Speaker 1: that happens, and they were like, hey, I would have
Speaker 1: had just like drew names for Secret Santa this year,
Speaker 1: since you know, Black Friday is happening alright, And I
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, no, I'm not responding to this
Speaker 1: and what's happening? Yeah, I went ahead and took the
Speaker 1: magic out of the holiday because Black Friday's happening. So
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta we gotta knock this out in
Speaker 1: the summer. Yeah, it's three weeks early this year. Come on,
Speaker 1: did you say you wanted that dice and V ten vacuum? No? Oh,
Speaker 1: well maybe someone else. Yeah, I can't. It is truly meaningless,
Speaker 1: also because all it is is the retailers snitching on themselves,
Speaker 1: being like, you know, we could sell it this cheap
Speaker 1: and still be profitable, but we don't like that. To
Speaker 1: me is like what's the most? Like I get so
Speaker 1: incensed by, Like, how the funk is it sixty bucks
Speaker 1: less just today? Oh? So yeah, we could sell cheap,
Speaker 1: but it's much more entertaining to just do it one
Speaker 1: day a week and then watching little piggies run around
Speaker 1: and fighting, talk into each other and just wink about
Speaker 1: in our Walmart. It's my impression of the Walton family.
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, what's something you think is underrated? Okay?
Speaker 1: Staying on theme, Black Friday is overrated? Black Christmas is underrated?
Speaker 1: Are y'all fans of a horror movie Black Christmas? I
Speaker 1: am not? I am not not a fan. I just
Speaker 1: have not gotten into it. But I have heard that
Speaker 1: the people remember No, I never heard of this. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: so whoa and I went to school with her? Okay,
Speaker 1: go on, well there's the there there's a remake that
Speaker 1: came out a few years ago, but the original one
Speaker 1: I think came out in nine and it's a Christmas
Speaker 1: not themed, but like it's a horror movie that takes
Speaker 1: place during Christmas break on a college campus. And one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why it is iconic and underrated to
Speaker 1: me is that the whole like trope of the final
Speaker 1: girl in horror movies, like we think it started with
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween, which came out right after
Speaker 1: Black Christmas, but this movie Black Christmas was actually the
Speaker 1: first two include a final girl, the one who survives
Speaker 1: at the very end, but unlike the trope where she's
Speaker 1: like super chaste and virginal, this character, Jess is we
Speaker 1: know she's sexual because she's pregnant and she's getting an abortion,
Speaker 1: but she's not like punished for it. In fact, like
Speaker 1: her boyfriend, who's a jerk about it, ends up getting
Speaker 1: slashed spoiler. And it was just a really fascinating, like
Speaker 1: I don't know to me seeing kind of what could
Speaker 1: have been. But it was the same director who went
Speaker 1: on to make a Christmas Story, so clearly he loves
Speaker 1: Christmas another dark take. He was like, oh too dark
Speaker 1: Christmas story. Okay, okay, Bob Clark, there's there's your double
Speaker 1: feature and it is legit scary. It is very, very spooky, scary.
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, what didn't interesting storyline? This like character,
Speaker 1: like it's going against most of like American drums, like
Speaker 1: a Canadian slasher film. Okay, I like that, I see
Speaker 1: I see it now. Yeah, that's wild that the slasher
Speaker 1: genre like started in a very progressive place. And then
Speaker 1: they're like, nah, well we'll make it basically a metaphor
Speaker 1: for puritan values, right, That's what I think. There's another
Speaker 1: Christmas horror movie that I've seen billboards for with a
Speaker 1: Oh Santa. That's the one with the guy from David Harbor.
Speaker 1: David Harbor. Yeah, yeah, what the fund is that one
Speaker 1: Harbor Santa movie? Violent Night Night Play, Killer Santa. Let's
Speaker 1: just what my kids need to see. And I think
Speaker 1: Hallmark should really kind of get in on this, you know,
Speaker 1: the holiday horror genre. Really it's worth it. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see that, like somebody who watches so much
Speaker 1: Hallmark movies. I'm like, can we spice it up a
Speaker 1: little because some motherfucker gets tabbed in this movie? Please?
Speaker 1: Just to kind of keep things going. They have one
Speaker 1: that's like there's a series of films that's sort of
Speaker 1: like a murder mystery one and like one takes place
Speaker 1: during the holidays, but they don't they haven't leaned into that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it because Hallmark, like I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure they have this thing where like you can't even
Speaker 1: have They used to say, you can't have magic ship
Speaker 1: like be the inciting incident in it because Christians you know,
Speaker 1: and don't like that. Just keep it, keep it, keep it,
Speaker 1: you know, keep it you know, nice and above board
Speaker 1: with God. M hm, yeah, that would be my main objection.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad to see that that is being I
Speaker 1: think it is rolled back. But there was a while
Speaker 1: where like people like if like in talking with people
Speaker 1: who make them, they're like, yeah, you can't pitch Hallmarket
Speaker 1: thing where like magic, like magic is like the main
Speaker 1: point of something occurring in this Christmas story or else
Speaker 1: They'll be like no, no, no, this is this is
Speaker 1: Satan Satan ship, right, although maybe maybe like they're just
Speaker 1: wrong and it would it would push things like nobody
Speaker 1: thought you should include religion in your horror movies until
Speaker 1: the Exorcist, So just say, Christmas, the holidays are a
Speaker 1: lot darker than people have depict them in their shows.
Speaker 1: So Christen, are you a big horror slash slasher slash
Speaker 1: slasher fan. I sound like it, but not especially. I
Speaker 1: have like some select favorites, and Black Christmas is one
Speaker 1: of them. And yeah, I'm just thinking, if we're gonna,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna have to have a you know, two
Speaker 1: month long Christmas season, now, holiday season. Now, let's spice
Speaker 1: up the genreonvar to the way of the Water season
Speaker 1: in my household. All right, let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back and Donald
Speaker 1: Trust trying for president again. It was I didn't watch
Speaker 1: a single frame. Oh you missed out, man. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I did. I just had to. I had
Speaker 1: to see. It was really the energy I was focused on,
Speaker 1: because that gives you a good indication of like where
Speaker 1: the campaign is that but really not much to say here.
Speaker 1: He basically put the crowd to sleep with his meandering ship.
Speaker 1: Like it got to the point when his like a
Speaker 1: little announcement went over an hour, Like even Fox News
Speaker 1: was like, what the funk, brod, just get to the
Speaker 1: stupid part already where you say make America great again
Speaker 1: and you're announcing it. I want to play this part though,
Speaker 1: because it's amazing how they actually cut the fucking they
Speaker 1: just had. They couldn't take it anymore. He started talking
Speaker 1: about like Angela Merkel and ship and they're like, uh funk.
Speaker 1: They're like, all right, so that's the president right now.
Speaker 1: I'll play this because it's a good indication of how
Speaker 1: meandering the whole thing was. Remember I sent to uncle,
Speaker 1: remember our uncle? Do you remember uncle? Nobody's remembering President
Speaker 1: Trump and mar Lago announcing his presidential run. So they're
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, enough of that, because he just wasn't
Speaker 1: getting to it. On top of it, there was also
Speaker 1: a video from from inside the event that apparently staffers
Speaker 1: in security prevented people from leaving the speech because like
Speaker 1: attendees apparently just had enough and they're like, let's go
Speaker 1: and we can be racist at our own home. Why
Speaker 1: do we have to be here? And like there's this
Speaker 1: like one clip if you see clearly a movement of
Speaker 1: like bodies towards the exits, and like it just stops
Speaker 1: and you just see like some people they're clearly not
Speaker 1: like ushering people out, and there's just for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: like a choke point there will yeah you reverse ushers,
Speaker 1: you stay. Yeah, But again I think it's important to
Speaker 1: see we were talking about yesterday or the day before,
Speaker 1: like what the reaction has been, what the responses have
Speaker 1: been from all the people who would you know, be
Speaker 1: sort of you know, we're at least pivotal in his
Speaker 1: campaigns in past years. So let's take a look around
Speaker 1: the right wing block and see what is happening. And
Speaker 1: let's start with the donors. A lot of his mega
Speaker 1: donors that backed him in twenty six and are now
Speaker 1: changing their numbers and closing their wallets, and they're like,
Speaker 1: I don't know him at all. Andy Saban, who's like
Speaker 1: a like another GOP mega donor, he said, quote, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to give Trump a fucking nickel was his quote.
Speaker 1: When they asked him. He said, he's already contributed fifty
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to a pro to Santis pack, and
Speaker 1: he would and he would rather. He's gonna back to
Speaker 1: Santis if he runs. That's what he's just said. He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't need this, I want to Santis. The CEO
Speaker 1: of black Stone, Stephen Schwartzman, he said again, they I
Speaker 1: don't think, I don't think even back him. Quote America
Speaker 1: does better when it's leaders are rooted in today and tomorrow,
Speaker 1: not today and yesterday. It's time for the Republican Party
Speaker 1: to turn a new generation of leaders, and I intend
Speaker 1: to support one of them in the presidential primary. So
Speaker 1: money's looking a little bit tighter, you know. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that that was also the case his first when
Speaker 1: he announced, like the donors kind of laughed at him,
Speaker 1: and then when it became he was getting the votes,
Speaker 1: they got in line. Yet yeah, so I trust none
Speaker 1: of none of them. Well, it's like, it's funny because
Speaker 1: before right in one, like after January six, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of performative like distancing to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want that to funk up my brand, but
Speaker 1: they're like, but I do because we have the same
Speaker 1: goal and I'm addicted to it. So sorry. Uh. And
Speaker 1: now it feels more like they're doing like a real
Speaker 1: they're trying to get him out, but they just don't
Speaker 1: realize they don't have the power to So for all
Speaker 1: of the talking that you may do, I just like
Speaker 1: we said yesterday, I don't I don't know what their
Speaker 1: way out is. But then you look at the media,
Speaker 1: right they're staying. They're staying is pretty consistent trying to
Speaker 1: say we're done with this guy, because normally they waffle
Speaker 1: within a week. Maybe they'll waffle within three weeks this time.
Speaker 1: The New York Post had a headline on the bottom
Speaker 1: of the front page on Wednesday that just said, there's
Speaker 1: no picture of him. There's just a bold headline at
Speaker 1: the bottom of their main front page headline, and it
Speaker 1: just said Florida man makes announcement. Yeah. Then the National Review,
Speaker 1: their headline was in response to the him running a firm.
Speaker 1: Unmistakable no is the name of uh their piece, and
Speaker 1: they said, quote to paraphrase Voltaire after he attended an
Speaker 1: orgy once was an experiment, twice would be perverse a bruise.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump announced a new presidential bid on Tuesday night,
Speaker 1: an invitation to double down on the outrages and failures
Speaker 1: of the last several years. The Republicans should reject without
Speaker 1: hesitation or doubt. Man, they love Voltaire. Huh, there's there
Speaker 1: was a reason one where they were claiming that Voltaire said,
Speaker 1: to learn who rules over you, simply find out who
Speaker 1: you are not allowed to criticize. And everybody on the
Speaker 1: right was I think you've been Elon Musk was quoting
Speaker 1: that and it turned doubt that that was not written
Speaker 1: were said by Enlightenment error writer Voltaire. It was said
Speaker 1: by Kevin Alfred Strom, a neo Nazi. That's that's where
Speaker 1: that quote comes from. Radio broadcast by a neo Nazi.
Speaker 1: But they love to go Voltaire neo Nazi. What's the difference.
Speaker 1: I mean, any time you're starting a sentence with too
Speaker 1: paraphrase Voltaire, Yes, he's not going to go well, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh watch out, he's there speaking directly to Maga country
Speaker 1: with that, with that fucking intro, what they're gonna say
Speaker 1: about Voltaire go on, I want to know. And then
Speaker 1: his sycophants, Yeah, they came out fucking swinging. Okay. I
Speaker 1: first want to play Mike Huckabee, who this speech was
Speaker 1: fucking awful, Like it wasn't good at all. It really.
Speaker 1: I think the only kudos he could get from people
Speaker 1: are like he actually didn't mention like the election. Theft
Speaker 1: of that was like the most growth he showed, because
Speaker 1: I think people like, dude, no one's gonna sucking back
Speaker 1: you if you keep talking this and somehow he responded that,
Speaker 1: but Mike Huckabee is like, this guy is perfect. In
Speaker 1: response to this and I'm trying to play this wonderful
Speaker 1: bit of but kissing Sean. The construct of the speech
Speaker 1: is pitch perfect. If he keeps on like this tonight,
Speaker 1: he is unbeatable. In nobody can touch him, not a Republican,
Speaker 1: not a Democrat. He stayed on message. One of the
Speaker 1: key things he said, this is not my campaign, this
Speaker 1: is our campaign. He has made whoa, whoa you fucking
Speaker 1: socialists with that. Bro. Also, I do want to add
Speaker 1: that all that pitch perfect speech they're talking over this
Speaker 1: supposed like this is when they it's just split the
Speaker 1: screen between Huckabee and Trump delivering the speech, and Trump
Speaker 1: is like slanting to the side, like he looks like
Speaker 1: he's falling asleep. And yeah, he's unbeatable to cut away
Speaker 1: from the speech to go to Huckabee to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: like you keep doing something to leave this ship up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you think how could Bee is just really hoping
Speaker 1: for veep? Yeah, I'm sorry. You know he's gonna disingenuously
Speaker 1: pick a woman or a person of color because that's
Speaker 1: gonna be heat. We already saw his logic in Georgia.
Speaker 1: He's like, well, I'll bet a black man against a
Speaker 1: black man there, even though this person is not even
Speaker 1: close to being qualified to even eat at a Golden Corral,
Speaker 1: but let let alone be a senator. And I think
Speaker 1: that's because that's why there's lot of Tim Scott or like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know Carrie Lake or whatever she's
Speaker 1: been she was. Immediately you have my full support, where
Speaker 1: like we get it, you auditionally, we get it. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about her. Um. But then I also want to
Speaker 1: point out another group of sad sacks. These older gen
Speaker 1: X MAGA fans decided to crip walk on a Rhonda
Speaker 1: Santis flag outside of the Trump Tower because loyal is
Speaker 1: fucked my guy. Uh so just watch this is some
Speaker 1: this is peak. I want to cry when I watched
Speaker 1: these men who are out here defending Donald Trump in
Speaker 1: front of the tower. But here's some dudes who were
Speaker 1: saying Trump or death Rock Rock Ron has got two bridge.
Speaker 1: They're stomping on a flag right now. Yeah, he has
Speaker 1: plenty of time to gain with death of Florida for
Speaker 1: a while. Remember when they did that. My father used
Speaker 1: to say to me. He used to say, He used
Speaker 1: to say, son, I brought you into this world, I
Speaker 1: can take you out everything everything, take his hat, everything,
Speaker 1: He's gone. It's Trump or death. Okay, so they're doing
Speaker 1: First of all, that that unrelated anecdote about your dad
Speaker 1: was it was not the closer you thought it was
Speaker 1: going to leave. I love the way he was telling
Speaker 1: the dude like, yo, I gotta get this, take hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on. So my dad, who I hate,
Speaker 1: used to tell me they used to threaten to murder
Speaker 1: me and using a cliche that you've all heard, boom.
Speaker 1: But also it is the laziest least at like they're
Speaker 1: stopping on the flag. In the loosest definition of the
Speaker 1: word stomp, it is that they look they look more
Speaker 1: like they're shuffling unsteadily on a flag. Yeah, since we
Speaker 1: were talking about dance earlier, a bit of a soft shoe,
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't like it was so funny because
Speaker 1: then like they can't do two things at once. So
Speaker 1: like when the camera panned up to them, they like
Speaker 1: their feet stopped moving and then they could then they
Speaker 1: could talk again. But when it went down, you could
Speaker 1: tell their feet started like doing light stomps and like
Speaker 1: h and the let me stop stopping. Trump or death?
Speaker 1: Trump or death? What was the Saddam reference. It is
Speaker 1: like by the flag for Saddam is interesting, I think
Speaker 1: because like during the whole you know, regime change moments,
Speaker 1: they toppled the Dad too. But it's like, so in
Speaker 1: this instance, Rhonda Santis is the leader, the established leader
Speaker 1: that you're toppling. Yeah, it was more like Biden. Do
Speaker 1: you you know he's governor of Florida? Right. This is
Speaker 1: and this is the beauty of this fucking absurd, circular,
Speaker 1: circular firing squad that's forming on the right, because it's like,
Speaker 1: what are they doing? I also want to check in
Speaker 1: quickly with Q and on as we do as we
Speaker 1: do because you always have to know they were pretty
Speaker 1: bummed out about the mid terms. They were like, what
Speaker 1: the funk was that already during the mid terms. So
Speaker 1: during the fucking announcement, a lot of the people who
Speaker 1: are like monitor a lot of like the Q and
Speaker 1: on message boards and like the telegram channels. There are
Speaker 1: messages like this from people after like that speech quote
Speaker 1: just another Trump rally. He just conceded election. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna skip over the two fraud all that we've heard
Speaker 1: from three years plus. We are now officially just nut
Speaker 1: jobs there's no justice for treason, there's no justice for
Speaker 1: crimes against humanity. We will have no country. Big disappointment.
Speaker 1: Here's another one. I'm fucking done with this political ship show,
Speaker 1: and we'll never vote again. Fuck politics. And then fun
Speaker 1: politics and the Nazi regime. Okay, and then one more
Speaker 1: with christ like like cry Emoji says, this isn't feeling
Speaker 1: like the storm, No, it is funny, like because for
Speaker 1: the true believers, it doesn't make sense when he's like
Speaker 1: listening to advisors who are like, yeah, you can't talk
Speaker 1: about the stolen election anymore. That's no, nobody believes in
Speaker 1: that ship anymore. And so then he just like moves
Speaker 1: on to the next thing. But still I don't know,
Speaker 1: they somehow keep coming out and voting for him specifically
Speaker 1: as long as you know, like cultural regression and white supremacy, misogyny,
Speaker 1: all that's on the ballot in some form, they're gonna
Speaker 1: come out. So I think it's just about like which
Speaker 1: ape shifter or they're going to map onto that platform.
Speaker 1: But I think at the end of the day, they
Speaker 1: have all they're going to have a like this is
Speaker 1: only going to create more problems for them as they
Speaker 1: even try to pretend their political party like it's going
Speaker 1: to devolve, devolve even further to just like whatever whatever
Speaker 1: We're about to see as like more and more people
Speaker 1: begin to splinter off. But right now it seems that
Speaker 1: the establishment seems to have more support behind it within
Speaker 1: like the elected officials class, but down ballot and then
Speaker 1: into like the actual like voter base. I don't don't,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what their poem looks like.
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Rhonda Santis like waves scares me
Speaker 1: so much more though than from because yeah I did well,
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't want to. They have great ideas, either
Speaker 1: of them, but no, but I think the reason I
Speaker 1: am also just like he he actually legislates this culture
Speaker 1: worship in Florida. Like he'll be like, here's a fucking
Speaker 1: bit that's a nightmare, and I did that, and like
Speaker 1: there's just a level, like I said, like last episode
Speaker 1: was like they're both like the like they're both the
Speaker 1: same like creatures. But de Santis has like clearly like
Speaker 1: looking at what you know Trump is doing, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't need any of that stuff to win. I
Speaker 1: can do this thing and I can still probably get
Speaker 1: the culture war stuff to get people to come support
Speaker 1: me and do it with a smile on my face.
Speaker 1: I do, I don't know. I I do feel like
Speaker 1: Trump is more built for like the conflict than De Santis,
Speaker 1: but I mean that's all, that's all speculation. The one
Speaker 1: thing that makes me less scared of De Santis in
Speaker 1: this moment is the knowledge that even if he wins
Speaker 1: the primary, Trump is running as a third party, which
Speaker 1: is going so like that's almost the prefer the preferable
Speaker 1: option is to Santa's winning because Trump is going to
Speaker 1: come into the third party and you know, funk over
Speaker 1: both of them. So I don't know, I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't foresee uh a situation where Donald Trump has prevailed
Speaker 1: upon using logic and what's best for the Republican Party
Speaker 1: to like step back if he loses the primary. So
Speaker 1: at that point, it's yeah, I'm right, that news for them.
Speaker 1: And also, like, the only actual member of Congress that
Speaker 1: showed up we're not even technically a member anymore, was
Speaker 1: Madison Cawthorne. Matt Gates didn't even good. Matt Gates was like, oh,
Speaker 1: the weather is kind of bad, I think, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go like was his excuse basically, so, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's all just very it's all up in the air.
Speaker 1: And then like Rhonda Santis was like asked again, They're like,
Speaker 1: hey dude, so like what's going on, Like you know,
Speaker 1: are are you gonna? Are you gonna be running? And
Speaker 1: he just said, let's just He's like, it's been a
Speaker 1: long election, We've got the Georgia runoffs, like we just
Speaker 1: need to chill out for a second. Also, Mr de Santis,
Speaker 1: do you have any comment on what that guy's dad
Speaker 1: used to say to him? I mean, my dad, are
Speaker 1: we because my dad said that to me too. So
Speaker 1: were you insulted by a grown men, soft shoeing, terribly
Speaker 1: designed flag? Also, and are you sad that they actually
Speaker 1: had to buy your swag to then disrespect it? Because
Speaker 1: the jokes really on them at that point? Care to comment?
Speaker 1: I will say the most inauspicious beginning to a campaign,
Speaker 1: like a campaign announcement was still like Donald Trump's announcing
Speaker 1: in coming down an escalator and he had to hire
Speaker 1: actors to pretend like they were supporters of his and
Speaker 1: still still managed to pull that one off. So I
Speaker 1: don't know, he has a talented populist still scares the
Speaker 1: ship out of me. Yeah, yeah, I think what either
Speaker 1: one's fucking scary. Yeah, it's I think in a vacuum,
Speaker 1: Rhondes santas Is is scarier if Trump doesn't exist, Like
Speaker 1: if they ran like without the chaos of Trump, then
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, shit's gonna be like, hey, I'm I've
Speaker 1: got the charisma of a manager at Hooters from the nineties.
Speaker 1: Is this enough charisma to get people to vote for me?
Speaker 1: And unfortunately it is a lot of the time, So
Speaker 1: we'll see. But I think that's why we're continuing to
Speaker 1: watch just it kind of flake apart, and I just
Speaker 1: want to see what's under there really quick. Is it
Speaker 1: total chaos or are they going to figure it out?
Speaker 1: Because I don't think they are, because they continue to
Speaker 1: like scratch their heads with the abortion thing to this
Speaker 1: like today even like they're still like is that what
Speaker 1: did it? I don't get how the huh? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: saw I saw a tweet right after the mid terms
Speaker 1: from some Republican operative who was like, it's single women
Speaker 1: in America who are addicted to anti depressants and sex
Speaker 1: and like all of this stuff Like Okay, yeah, yep,
Speaker 1: our fault. But in terms of this appearance from Trump,
Speaker 1: I feel like the one thing we can say is
Speaker 1: that there's more evidence that America is running out of
Speaker 1: adderall because he looked like he was off his meds. Man.
Speaker 1: He was in withdrawals for sure. He sleepy. We almost
Speaker 1: switched to meth for crying out loud. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, and so let's talk Twitter. Since Twitter is
Speaker 1: currently a dumpster fire full of verified Nazis and fake
Speaker 1: Mr Bean's advertisers are pausing their spending on the social
Speaker 1: media platform. General Motors, Audi, Volkswagen, General Mills, Fightser, you
Speaker 1: know the big ones. There's also like a big advertising agency.
Speaker 1: They recommended that all their clients basically pause until Twitter
Speaker 1: seems like they might be a functional company again. Hey see.
Speaker 1: And that's how you know who's in power, because you
Speaker 1: can't criticize the corporations. That's my favorite neo nuts, he
Speaker 1: said on the radio once the so in the big
Speaker 1: tech equivalent of a kid setting up a lemonade stand
Speaker 1: and not getting any customers and just selling it all
Speaker 1: to their parents. Elon Musk just secured a lucrative deal
Speaker 1: with a major new advertiser, Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service,
Speaker 1: which this happened to a number of days ago. But
Speaker 1: I do just want to highlight it because it's like
Speaker 1: such a good example of all of the ways that
Speaker 1: like the myth of him being a genius are is
Speaker 1: a myth. It's just like he's emerald boy, that's it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's born with emeralds in his pocket. So much of
Speaker 1: his wealth is like based on like selling carbon tax.
Speaker 1: He's like so much of his money is based on
Speaker 1: tax funded ship like he basically took advantage of because
Speaker 1: he was in a position to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: And he's shrewd and predatory and that's what makes someone
Speaker 1: take someone from being a CEO to being a very
Speaker 1: successful CEO as being best predator. But yeah, that the ads,
Speaker 1: the ad by cost upward of two fifty dollars and
Speaker 1: they're aimed at Spain and Australia, I think maybe, And
Speaker 1: it's basically a like full stop everybody in those countries
Speaker 1: who goes to Twitter the first three times they log
Speaker 1: in that day will be hit with a star Link
Speaker 1: at takeover and now is starlink, something that's like a
Speaker 1: viable option for people in those places, like i'd imagine
Speaker 1: you can get broadband in Australia or Spain. Are they
Speaker 1: talking like, is there like a reason, like there's a market?
Speaker 1: He saw a kangaroo jack and assumed that the entirety
Speaker 1: of Australia was just like that and didn't have access
Speaker 1: to the internet. Now I have I have no idea
Speaker 1: what the strategy is. Yeah, yeah, but there I think
Speaker 1: part of the strategy is probably they're they're going through
Speaker 1: a rough patch. They've been in the it was a
Speaker 1: lot recently for not the best reasons. So back in March,
Speaker 1: you know, Elon Musk good at playing the pr game,
Speaker 1: donated a bunch of Starlink dishes and internet service to
Speaker 1: Ukraine to aid the war effort, and everyone was like,
Speaker 1: that's that's cool. You know, that's probably because a lot
Speaker 1: of the storylines around that were that Russia was going
Speaker 1: to cut off internet access to the Ukrainian fighters, and
Speaker 1: so he was like, here, I come in save the day.
Speaker 1: And because I'm the world's richest man, like I can
Speaker 1: pay for it, no no worries, just you know, fighting
Speaker 1: a good fight. Things took a pre drastic turn last
Speaker 1: month when Elon Musk released his own peace plan in
Speaker 1: the form of a Twitter poll, which involved Ukraine's seating
Speaker 1: territory to Russia. And it also took a turn when
Speaker 1: it was revealed that he didn't actually donate any of
Speaker 1: that ship. It was it was paid for by the US,
Speaker 1: by the Pentagon and paid for handsomely by the Post
Speaker 1: millions millions either, yeah for the donation. Most of it
Speaker 1: received full or partial funding from outside sources, including millions
Speaker 1: from the U. S Government, which space X as president
Speaker 1: had previously denied. So they did this lie about it,
Speaker 1: and there's so much of the reporting was just like
Speaker 1: breathlessly like he donated them, yeah, like consistently to the
Speaker 1: point where I was like, I haven't seen one thing
Speaker 1: where someone's like, well, technically the fucking Pentagon's footing the bill.
Speaker 1: He's not donating ship. Yeah. I mean this just came
Speaker 1: out in the past couple of months, but it's it's yeah.
Speaker 1: He he likes to seize on a major global news
Speaker 1: story like the kids trapped in the cave and try
Speaker 1: and like insinuate himself as like Tony Stark, like here,
Speaker 1: i I'm magical technology. Man, I'll come solve the problem.
Speaker 1: But what that's not a good plan, Well, then you're
Speaker 1: a pedophiles. The guy who actually knows what then he's
Speaker 1: doing ye of being a pedophile. Around this time, SpaceX
Speaker 1: sent a letter to the Pentagon warning that they may
Speaker 1: stop funding the service in Ukraine unless the US military
Speaker 1: kicks and tens of millions of dollars per month. So
Speaker 1: in addition to not even providing the satellites, they were like,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna operate them unless you give us more
Speaker 1: money than we would otherwise. Get what what are you crazy? Cool?
Speaker 1: So like making money off of war? That's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: profit here describe it like that there was a need
Speaker 1: in the market. After coming from the meager beginnings of
Speaker 1: being an apartheid profitier, you know, he is now a
Speaker 1: war profitier. So there's also the story that's happening in
Speaker 1: parallel that just came out yesterday where some a shareholder
Speaker 1: from Tesla who was just like a lower level employee,
Speaker 1: doesn't have much stock, is just kind of a check
Speaker 1: to check employee. Sudi Alon musk and pointed out that
Speaker 1: he became he took over the spot of richest person
Speaker 1: in the world by arranging this package that's worth fifty
Speaker 1: billion dollars for himself as Tesla's CEO. And he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but like he just asked the board to do it,
Speaker 1: and the board are all his friends, and it makes
Speaker 1: no business sense because he's not leaving Tesla. So it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It wasn't at a time when like they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: we've got to like woo him away. They gave him
Speaker 1: the biggest payday in the history of like an American business,
Speaker 1: paying a CEO for no reason, and he was like that,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. He's just robbing his own company
Speaker 1: essentially and robbing his own shareholders. Genius Jack genius exactly.
Speaker 1: He's a genius. Like so much of these billionaire geniuses
Speaker 1: are just good at finding taking their advantage of already
Speaker 1: being immorally wealthy and using that to get people to
Speaker 1: give them free money. I can't believe that part of
Speaker 1: him patting himself on the back, like come on, guys,
Speaker 1: give me a fifty billion dollars exactly, Like what the
Speaker 1: fuck you were like begging for It's really good, though
Speaker 1: it like amassing somewhat like kind of fake money, Like
Speaker 1: there's the carbon credits thing, and then the money that
Speaker 1: he had to borrow to like buy Twitter, like it all.
Speaker 1: It just money feels like such a total and complete
Speaker 1: construct when it comes to Elon's wealth. Yeah, or just
Speaker 1: like those figures in general, like they're just so like
Speaker 1: they're unfathomable. I can't even like properly process what those
Speaker 1: amounts of money are. And you're like, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: sure from what? And options? Okay, Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's it's a lot of bullshit. It's funny that Ukraine's
Speaker 1: ambassador to Germany responded to his peace plan by saying,
Speaker 1: funk off is my very diplomatic reply to you, Elon Musk,
Speaker 1: which is going to be a problem because Germany is
Speaker 1: an important ally and their diplomat is almost certainly going
Speaker 1: to be banned for insulting Ellen from from twitters before
Speaker 1: the EU totally fucking destroys Twitter for like running a
Speaker 1: foul of like so many of these like safety things
Speaker 1: they're supposed to have, like that, there's so many things
Speaker 1: on the horizon there that I'm just like un omni
Speaker 1: crisis alert, here we go for Twitter. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: still haven't seen my major funk up that I predicted
Speaker 1: what happened this week fingers crossed wasn't wasn't two factor
Speaker 1: authentication kind of a major fun was that confirmed? Like
Speaker 1: are many people completely locked out of their accounts? I
Speaker 1: just know that. They said, like those sort of micro
Speaker 1: services were going down, But like, is there a trend
Speaker 1: to feel like it's happened. I've there's no way I
Speaker 1: can get back into my Twitter now because the two
Speaker 1: factor authentication screwed up. I'm not, I'm not sure. I'm
Speaker 1: I just never logged out because I was. I was.
Speaker 1: I'm addicted, so I can because we're scared. But it's funny.
Speaker 1: Like one of the things that was brought up at
Speaker 1: this lawsuit was that he when he came over to
Speaker 1: Twitter like and fired half of the engineers. He like,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, if I are too many
Speaker 1: people and started making Tesla's like best engineers work on Twitter.
Speaker 1: He was just like, you move over here now, And
Speaker 1: so they were pointing out they were like, so did
Speaker 1: Tesla's board approve that too? Like they were cool with you,
Speaker 1: just like taking their best engineers off task and moving
Speaker 1: them to another thing that is just of personal interest
Speaker 1: to you because The point they're trying to make is
Speaker 1: like he is a board unto himself, just like choosing
Speaker 1: deciding to pay himself however much is best for him,
Speaker 1: which turns out to be fifty billion dollars. Did y'all
Speaker 1: see the open letter I guess that he's sent out
Speaker 1: to Twitter employees today basically being like, if you want
Speaker 1: to be extremely hard, cool or you can stay on,
Speaker 1: but if not, it's a fork in the road. I
Speaker 1: think was that like the name of the subject line
Speaker 1: on that, And it's like, you're gonna either fucking work
Speaker 1: to your eyes bleed or take three months severance, asshole,
Speaker 1: It's up to you, which I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people are like, yeah, I'll take that severance. Yeah, have
Speaker 1: the holidays off. Yeah, yeah, I'm good with that. Good luck, man,
Speaker 1: good luck motherfucker. All right. He's a great CEO, though,
Speaker 1: you know, he's willing to be really mean and also
Speaker 1: likes money a lot, which seems like are the two
Speaker 1: things that did you see it with that sink? You know? Hey,
Speaker 1: let that sink in. I can't wait. I mean, and
Speaker 1: he's getting destroyed by his own bullshit too, and it's
Speaker 1: just so funny to watch him then like banned people
Speaker 1: for like just pointing out how much he sucks, or
Speaker 1: like posting stories about like Tesla auto pilot accidents, like
Speaker 1: seems to be like the one thing a lot of
Speaker 1: people do to troll him, and he's like out of here.
Speaker 1: But the way that letter sounds that he wrote to people,
Speaker 1: it really is like it's just such a difference in energy,
Speaker 1: like of him, also from a not understanding how like
Speaker 1: people work at all, and also not realizing how desperate
Speaker 1: he sounds. He said to build a breakthrough Twitter two
Speaker 1: point oh and succeeded in an increasingly competitive world, we
Speaker 1: will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working
Speaker 1: long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute
Speaker 1: a passing grade. Twitter will be much more engineering driven.
Speaker 1: Design and product will still be very important and report
Speaker 1: to me, but those writing great code will constitute the
Speaker 1: majority of our team and have the greatest way. And
Speaker 1: it's just like, uh, he's like, please respond to this
Speaker 1: email so I know you're still down. We have the
Speaker 1: best people, only the best people that we will be
Speaker 1: good and work hard. Only if you're the best, though,
Speaker 1: because otherwise I don't want to be friends with you
Speaker 1: or guy. Yeah, or guy, big pile of money. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk that the new Olympic mascots are here and
Speaker 1: their clip tourists. So we're six hundred days away, and
Speaker 1: you know, the world may have other in important things
Speaker 1: they're thinking about. I don't know, but where they might
Speaker 1: have thought they did before they met these mascots for
Speaker 1: the Paris Summer Olympics. They were just revealed a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago, and instead of just being like an
Speaker 1: amusing cartoon bear, the mascots are anthropomorphic hats modeled after
Speaker 1: the Phrygian cap am I I'm probably fry Phrygiant, that
Speaker 1: Phrygian and that's associated with the French Revolution. But they
Speaker 1: don't even look remotely like hats really to me, they
Speaker 1: look like clip horses, like cartoon clip horses. There. There
Speaker 1: is very Yeah, there's something bodily about these. I've seen
Speaker 1: like a little like plush toys of like a little
Speaker 1: like stuffed uterous like this would go with that, like
Speaker 1: it should be like a sex said tool of like, guy,
Speaker 1: this is inside of you, right, yeah, this is the
Speaker 1: pleasure zone. Wait, and I'm looking at the hat. What
Speaker 1: it doesn't even look like the fucking hat that they're
Speaker 1: talking about their bright red and which I don't think
Speaker 1: the hats were maybe oh it's it's it's like that
Speaker 1: that scully that has like the coral. Okay, so the
Speaker 1: up top part looks like it, but everything from like
Speaker 1: the eyeballs down. I'm like, huh yeah, very confusing, but
Speaker 1: I want I want you guys to hear the thinking.
Speaker 1: This is from Olympics dot Com. For Paris. This new
Speaker 1: generation of Fridges will write history, led led by one
Speaker 1: Olympic and one Paralympic Fridge in the tribe of mascots
Speaker 1: will be central to paris vision to change lives by
Speaker 1: leading a revolution through sport. Oh shit, okay, go on,
Speaker 1: that's all they got. They just like the proletariat must
Speaker 1: must capture the means of production. You're like, whoa, what
Speaker 1: the funk are these little frygies talking about. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean they could have they could have stuck googly eyes
Speaker 1: on a beheaded aristocrat, but they chose this much more
Speaker 1: friendly version of the French Revolution. If they just subbed
Speaker 1: out you know, fries is is that how it said
Speaker 1: for clitteresses. I mean I would buy into the marketing
Speaker 1: for Paris. This new generation of Clitterests will write history,
Speaker 1: I'll tune in. Yeah, I'm on board with that. And
Speaker 1: it could be what is happening under it could be
Speaker 1: the subtext of this or like the artists they hired
Speaker 1: subtext because past, you know, sexually charged, anthropomorphic Olympic mascots
Speaker 1: have been a penis in for the London mascot I
Speaker 1: don't know, it like has a little police bobby hat
Speaker 1: on the top, but for the most part it looks
Speaker 1: like a cartoon cock and balls with a big eyeball
Speaker 1: in the middle of it. You can see it. For
Speaker 1: the Pena's wearing a cop hat is disturbing, the most
Speaker 1: just toxic thing that could be conceived of. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: the very so so maybe this is the French response
Speaker 1: to that, to be like, yeah, funk that we're we're
Speaker 1: feminist over yeah. I mean some of the past ones,
Speaker 1: like in the l A eighty four it was just
Speaker 1: like a fucking corny as eagle with like an uncle
Speaker 1: Sam had On, like bol had tigers h Barcelona had
Speaker 1: Kobe who looked like a just a cool, I don't know,
Speaker 1: cubist animal. It's like when did it get start? And
Speaker 1: getting really weird? Is the Atlanta. Yeah, I have to
Speaker 1: shout out the abstract fantasy figure. You'll know why is
Speaker 1: he is called is because I'm I'm in Atlanta. Uh
Speaker 1: and I remember remember Izy, well know what is it? Is?
Speaker 1: Like the as in what is he? Yeah, it's literally
Speaker 1: short for what is it? Because they had no idea
Speaker 1: what to call it. It was such a mess and
Speaker 1: people disliked the design so much, but I guess they
Speaker 1: were just kind of stuck with it. So do they
Speaker 1: just got it? Is this like the one design project
Speaker 1: where they're like, and unfortunately, we we have these by
Speaker 1: laws going back a hundred years where you're only allowed
Speaker 1: to have one draft for this the specific design project.
Speaker 1: It's first thought, best thought, unfortunately, and so because these
Speaker 1: all look like first draft, the Eagle Miles that you
Speaker 1: call it out for the Los Angeles is the worst,
Speaker 1: most generic. It's clip art. It's clip art. It is
Speaker 1: straight up clip art. I don't know of an eagle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's not a good look. It looks like
Speaker 1: a cartoon eagle from like n R, a like coloring
Speaker 1: book that they would have given out, you know. It's uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at if there's anything interesting in the
Speaker 1: Wikipedia thing about like the beginnings of Izzy It's like.
Speaker 1: The Atlantic Committee for the Olympic Games began to search
Speaker 1: for a mascot and they the selection. What Is It
Speaker 1: was designed by John Ryan, a senior animation director at
Speaker 1: Atlantic based design firm. Originally appeared What Is It originally
Speaker 1: appeared as a blue tear shaped quote blob with rings
Speaker 1: around his eyes. Oh sure. He wore high top sneakers,
Speaker 1: has star shaped pupils. His arms and legs were also short,
Speaker 1: with a toothy grin. He was later modified to have
Speaker 1: longer limbs to give a more athletic look. After a
Speaker 1: very critical reception to What Is Its introduction, uh, during
Speaker 1: the closing ceremonies of the ninety two Barcelona Olympics, the
Speaker 1: Atlantic Committee of Organizing the Olympics began work to reshape
Speaker 1: the characters, specifically focusing on children, who are far more
Speaker 1: attracted to the character than adults. Oh so they were like,
Speaker 1: fuck y'all adult haters, what you like it? It was kids?
Speaker 1: It is the most nineteen ninety six designed, like if
Speaker 1: just naturally like yeah, I mean like him in New Greek,
Speaker 1: look at what is It? In New Ingrid's together look
Speaker 1: at that matchmate in Heaven and those were the days. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a real embarrassment at the time.
Speaker 1: I do remember my parents like complaining about what an
Speaker 1: abomination it was. But in retrospect, like you said, I
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect encapsulation of culture. Really. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: does seem like when when you go back to that
Speaker 1: spreadsheet of all the different designs, it seems like it's
Speaker 1: either animal or like weird anthropomorphic piece of modern art
Speaker 1: that is somehow sexual. Like is He seems to be
Speaker 1: the one example where it's not like weird. I guess
Speaker 1: there there were the ones that are just like Marshmallow,
Speaker 1: the deed Ja in a couple of places. But it
Speaker 1: feels like once you when you go abstract, you're you're
Speaker 1: running the risk that you're going to just draw sperm
Speaker 1: because like that's what your unconscious mind wants to do.
Speaker 1: You know. Well, you know, for all those designing out there,
Speaker 1: just just just keep it simple. I don't know, like
Speaker 1: half of these I'm looking at like I don't even
Speaker 1: remember this, Like, who gives a funk man? Just make
Speaker 1: the Olympics in one place. Yeah, I actually really like
Speaker 1: the first one, the skiing sperm like that one's pretty
Speaker 1: cool looking. Yeah shoos from Yeah, shoose was the first
Speaker 1: mascot too. Oh so that he's the first ever. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: first one. Good for him, just a skiing sperm and
Speaker 1: it nails the assignment. Like he's active, he's on skis.
Speaker 1: He like looks like I don't want to say athletic,
Speaker 1: but like there's a sense of athletics, says the next year.
Speaker 1: It is a dog with a dove on its tail, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just with a piece dove. This is Rojo and that's
Speaker 1: for the Mexico City Games. His friend symbolizes the slogan
Speaker 1: Games of Peace. Okay, at least there can you can
Speaker 1: understand it. Then you're like, I like out seventies six
Speaker 1: in Bruk, there's just went schnemon means who's been beheaded?
Speaker 1: By the way, it's a snowman that's been beheaded. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's lost his other three hairs that make up his tour.
Speaker 1: So but truly the shittiest of all Los Angeles four
Speaker 1: Sam the Bald Eagle. Walt Disney Productions selected the Eagle. Wow,
Speaker 1: you guys fucked up big time. I remember Kobe from Barcelona.
Speaker 1: Kobe was cute Yeah, that was. I mean, that was
Speaker 1: the first Olympics that was super invested in and I think,
Speaker 1: I that's like, it's weird, how I really remember Kobe
Speaker 1: is he and then everyone else? They can get lost?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, get take a hike, folks. It's over. Hey,
Speaker 1: speaking of it's over, Kristen. It's been such a pleasure
Speaker 1: having you on the show. Yeah, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for having me. I can't wait to follow the journey
Speaker 1: of these French clitters over the next few years. And
Speaker 1: they lead up to the Olympics and and look, I
Speaker 1: hope they lead us into a fucking proletarian revolution. And
Speaker 1: if that does, then we'll have egg on our face
Speaker 1: for sure. I do like that they called it a
Speaker 1: sports based like no, no, no, no, just a sports revolution,
Speaker 1: not class consciousness sports revolution. Yeah, but it is such
Speaker 1: a perfect like example of how revolutionary things just get
Speaker 1: digested and shipped out into like vague capitalists like pablum
Speaker 1: of like revolution of sport. What are they gonna like
Speaker 1: do the kick flips different? And you know, I really
Speaker 1: like that word right now. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: because people are check to check in there's such food instability,
Speaker 1: but this revolutionary revolution words can all a buzz? People
Speaker 1: really like this fetterman guy. I guess we got an
Speaker 1: invest in Carhart. Yeah, yeah, that's the lesson. But anyways,
