Speaker 1: have you heard that album? Man, it's a good rock album. Dude.

Speaker 1: is what it was like to drink with me when
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties. Radio trend may try and
Speaker 1: trying and trying and trying. Dude, try and understand what
Speaker 1: the singers saying in this song right now. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna believe it, he said, Hitler, hair do making me feel?
Speaker 1: Oh man, I am jack That over there, Well that's miles.
Speaker 1: This here. These are some things that are trending right now. Tesla,
Speaker 1: the company that makes cars that make us go room
Speaker 1: room without the gas um that'd recall only one thousand
Speaker 1: for tail light issue three. One thousand car recall for
Speaker 1: their cars. This is apparently the nineteen recall this year
Speaker 1: for the A lot. I don't know how common recalls are,
Speaker 1: but I know my car, which I will say is
Speaker 1: a Master three. Okay, five door, thank you. Uh don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of alright, mad bound oh get busy child?
Speaker 1: No zoom zoom used to be it? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: zoom zoom zoom, and it was like some weird, like
Speaker 1: problematic like African theme. I remember they had that ship anyway,
Speaker 1: had like the ghost of a child be like and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, and like a person waking
Speaker 1: up from his dream, like oh my god. Fuck, it's
Speaker 1: like a nightmare. Uh. But then also on top of that,
Speaker 1: the stock price it's trending because of that. I guess
Speaker 1: it's the Tesla stock is at a fifty two week low,
Speaker 1: and that's supposed to be the good one. That's his Uh,
Speaker 1: that's his good one, that Elon Musk, all the companies
Speaker 1: and Tesla's post be good one and not so good
Speaker 1: today buster. Yeah. So I don't know. I mean I
Speaker 1: think for for the for many people who are watching,
Speaker 1: we're like wow, and watch how this affects everything else.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk does, Yeah, price saw this coming and let
Speaker 1: Trump back on Twitter Twitter the weekend. I meant, I
Speaker 1: meant to lose all this money. That's why it's hard
Speaker 1: to write because we talk about this all the time
Speaker 1: of like, who has nefarious goals in mind with getting
Speaker 1: Elon Musk to buy Twitter? How much of it is
Speaker 1: big idiot just screwing it up on his own and
Speaker 1: it just feels like everything's true. At the same time
Speaker 1: comes I'm like, damn, it would suck if this thing
Speaker 1: goes down, And then also like, damn, this dude really
Speaker 1: is a fucking he's he has no idea what he's doing.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they are like some wealthy shrewd uh. You
Speaker 1: know authoritarians out there who were like this, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely let him take over Twitter. That would be freaking hilarious. Um,
Speaker 1: but I don't. My guess would be he's not in
Speaker 1: on it. And the vast majority of him coming on
Speaker 1: taking over Twitter and absolutely bricking one of the most
Speaker 1: important websites in existence was what was more people buying
Speaker 1: into the myth that forms around anybody with toxic This
Speaker 1: guy takes l after L with every company he's been
Speaker 1: a part of. Yeah, Like, there's nothing about him that
Speaker 1: aside from like the fake myth that he created PayPal,
Speaker 1: which he did not Like. He's just like he's gliding
Speaker 1: off a lot of like bad articles. People like wait,
Speaker 1: hold on, what what what what is this I just
Speaker 1: learned about you? Okay, so this is like me at
Speaker 1: the magazine Rack in the nineties, taking L after L
Speaker 1: because I like that magazine E L L E L magazine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was a hit. We all liked it,
Speaker 1: didn't we, folks? Um? Yeah, man fits with my personae,
Speaker 1: the person who would read L good on thank you.
Speaker 1: I was just waiting. I was lingering until you told
Speaker 1: me it was a good like you know what. It
Speaker 1: took a second to marinade, but I like it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyways, Twitter continues to I don't know, he so
Speaker 1: that that that's something that happened over the weekend. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about a little bit tomorrow. How how worried we
Speaker 1: should all be? Um? But he he did a poll
Speaker 1: and then said, hey, the people have spoken. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is a lab back on Twitter, his account is back. Um.
Speaker 1: Somebody pointed out that his his use of that quote
Speaker 1: wasn't great, um, and Bellinger said, if you're going to
Speaker 1: quote something to seem smart, it's a good idea to
Speaker 1: go to the original source. So he tweeted something like
Speaker 1: volks populi both day like voice of people, voice of God. Uh,
Speaker 1: what what can I say? And the English translation of
Speaker 1: that speech that he's quoting is and those people should
Speaker 1: not be listened to. Who keeps saying the voice of
Speaker 1: the people is the voice of God, since the riotous
Speaker 1: nous of the crowd is always very close to madness.
Speaker 1: Uh So, he's you know, he's a learned man. He's
Speaker 1: one of those folks, a real, real stupid person. You know,
Speaker 1: my favorite philosopher. A lot of people say Aristotle, but
Speaker 1: my favorite philosopher is Elon mus Voltaire Voltaire, first Voltaire
Speaker 1: because I like all the stuff he had to say
Speaker 1: about white supremacy in the twentieth century. And then uh
Speaker 1: second favorite, elonmak Uh Yeah, Bob Iger another one of
Speaker 1: these sort of narcissistic personalities that the mainstream media loves to.
Speaker 1: Just gobble it up, don't we um. He came in
Speaker 1: and basically, like so a year ago, you know, he
Speaker 1: was doing his big farewell tour and he was retiring
Speaker 1: and he's this big celebrity CEO. Everybody was like, what
Speaker 1: are they gonna do without him? And he picked a
Speaker 1: successor who has the same name as him. Basically they
Speaker 1: have the same first in middle names. They're both Robert Allen,
Speaker 1: Robert Allen Eger, and Robert Allen something else. Yeah. That
Speaker 1: that he basically came disappeared that guy parts unknown, the
Speaker 1: former CEO of Disney. They're just like, yeah, nice triasshole. Um.
Speaker 1: And now Bob Iger is back and everyone is celebrating
Speaker 1: stock to the moon. Um. I mean it looks like
Speaker 1: the CFO like and other executives got real panicked on Friday,
Speaker 1: and we're like, okay, based on the quarterly earnings and
Speaker 1: like I guess complaints from inside the company, we want
Speaker 1: to welcome you back, Bob. Yeah. So this this stuff
Speaker 1: that has happened in the past year, that was presumably
Speaker 1: all totally started within the past year, right, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: no ideas carried over. It was a completely new regime.
Speaker 1: And Bob Ikers, a handpicked successor, probably had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with any of the mistakes. Uh or or bob
Speaker 1: Iker presumably had nothing to do with any of the mistakes. Um.
Speaker 1: And it was all this new guy who went rogue
Speaker 1: after I picked him. Um. But I don't give a
Speaker 1: shit about any of this. Like maybe Bob Iker is
Speaker 1: much better CEO. It's just it's just funny how like
Speaker 1: nobody nobody can stay retired like that. They're son for this,
Speaker 1: they're still morning for everybody being like, yes, sir, Mr Iger,
Speaker 1: Sir Mr Musk, you truly are a funny person, and
Speaker 1: I will have your baby. Um oh great, I mean,
Speaker 1: as Voltaire said, everything of all the good he did
Speaker 1: not do, so I'm sure he thought of that. As
Speaker 1: Voltaire said, my favorite philosopher. Probably that was a Voltaire says,
Speaker 1: you truly are the king of king, truly the biggest
Speaker 1: bashard and new y'all sit carry Lake trending. We're all
Speaker 1: waiting to see how she was going to take the L.
Speaker 1: Will you go quiet into that good night? Would she
Speaker 1: take it, you know, with class? Would she uh take
Speaker 1: it and claim she got cheated? Would she take it
Speaker 1: and pay five dollars and thirty seven cents? Because she
Speaker 1: is actually buying a magazine at the magazine rack at
Speaker 1: the grocery store like I did, um when I was
Speaker 1: buying L magazine. Um, no, she's not. She's not doing
Speaker 1: that one. All of her fascist impulses she was not
Speaker 1: able to subdue. They are coming out loud and wrong.
Speaker 1: She said, quote tens of thousands of you have reached
Speaker 1: out that pleading with me to fight this fight. Rest
Speaker 1: assured I will, because if we give up now, we
Speaker 1: will no longer have a country. And attorneys are working
Speaker 1: diligently to gather information. Whistleblowers are coming forward, and the
Speaker 1: curtain is being lifted, whether done accidentally or intentionally, it
Speaker 1: is clear that this election was a debical that destroyed
Speaker 1: any trust in our elections. That's what yeah, yeah, exactly Arizona. Yes.
Speaker 1: Carrie Lack also said Arizonas who trust or who chose
Speaker 1: to make their voices no one on election day should
Speaker 1: not be disenfranchised to put blah blah blah blah anyway. Um,
Speaker 1: she's fighting it, she's fighting it, she's fighting it. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it seems like a couple of counties have been like,
Speaker 1: we're joining in solidarity with this other county that is
Speaker 1: not certifying the election. So there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: smoke coming out of the machine over there in Arizona.
Speaker 1: We'll see how that that all ends up. But and
Speaker 1: then that would just show with evidence that it was
Speaker 1: not rigged, and then they'll keep saying it was rigged,
Speaker 1: and then maybe they'll be able to sue them again,
Speaker 1: you know, money for for whatever that voting company is.
Speaker 1: That voting company is just gonna be like the richest
Speaker 1: company on the globe after they just keep getting to
Speaker 1: soothe these dip shits. Yeah, and I don't know why
Speaker 1: the Republicans, like clearly election to nihilism isn't a winning
Speaker 1: fucking like platform at all, as you saw as many
Speaker 1: of these like secretaries of state who are like in
Speaker 1: on this stop the steel ship, we're just like blasted out. Uh.
Speaker 1: Some did win, but most by and large we're not.
Speaker 1: We're not winning like they thought, not a winner. And
Speaker 1: but like for Republicans are like, so keep going with that.
Speaker 1: That's like getting thrown out of the bar for acting
Speaker 1: a certain way and then you come right back and
Speaker 1: they're like, that's still you. What do you do You
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get in here acting the same way
Speaker 1: we just threw you out for that ship. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I'm trying to fight that they are. They're like, all right,
Speaker 1: get out now. Yeah, this isn't gonna then make people like,
Speaker 1: you know what, since they're coming back around again for
Speaker 1: the second or third or fourth time on this. Maybe
Speaker 1: now I'm into this whole lack of peaceful transfer of
Speaker 1: power or whatever you call it here, Yeah, it doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't make like I think it's been seen as
Speaker 1: a loser, like from very early on, like didn't. Polling
Speaker 1: suggests that Republican voters were like, yeah, man, we don't.
Speaker 1: We don't really like we don't. We don't want to
Speaker 1: keep doing this. There was like dwindling energy for that.
Speaker 1: But they're also elon musking it over there where they're like,
Speaker 1: we know better than everyone else, and then it's like
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, they did not. And but what makes it
Speaker 1: dangerous is that denial is only going to fan the
Speaker 1: fames of like the intense fan the flames of like
Speaker 1: their intense rhetoric. I feel like it's not going to
Speaker 1: be like just this doesn't end to them, be like, y'all, y'all,
Speaker 1: we were wrong for pushing all this ethno nationalist ship.
Speaker 1: We figured it out. We need to be more inclusive
Speaker 1: and we need to compete for your vote with a
Speaker 1: with a fucking platform about progress and a quality not
Speaker 1: it's just good fan their fame. But what's happening is
Speaker 1: there fan in the flames? Uh, thank you and thank you.
Speaker 1: Um all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back and herschel Walker is still
Speaker 1: out here, you know, campaigning on hate speech and saying
Speaker 1: just wild shit about trans rights, gay rights, and he
Speaker 1: continued to do so even after there was a massive,
Speaker 1: you know, terror attack on a gay bar in Colorado
Speaker 1: Springs that left five people dead. Unfortunately, two of the
Speaker 1: patrons stopped the shooter, which was what the tweets about,
Speaker 1: like how two unarmed patrons like stopped them just like
Speaker 1: everyone's just laying waste to like the Republican logic where
Speaker 1: they're like, wasn't a good guy with a gun? It
Speaker 1: was like two bar patrons. Like, so by the Republican
Speaker 1: logic to bar patrons should be at the entrance of
Speaker 1: every school um in the United States because it wasn't
Speaker 1: the police or anything like that. Yeah, this was much better,
Speaker 1: much more effective than you've all day. So I think
Speaker 1: we need teachers to start drinking on the job. They
Speaker 1: already do jack they already do, right, but like more officially, yeah,
Speaker 1: out in the open. So what was what was herschell
Speaker 1: walker saying this time? Because last night I checked he
Speaker 1: was like, you know, you know a where a wolf
Speaker 1: can kill a vampire And everyone was like, what the
Speaker 1: fund is he saying now? But they've been telling you
Speaker 1: that they don't know the definition of a woman either,
Speaker 1: to think about that either, They don't know the definition
Speaker 1: of a woman. I'm going to tell you the definition
Speaker 1: of a woman because it's written in my great book.
Speaker 1: It said a man and a woman, and there's a
Speaker 1: friends between the two. Okay, what are the definitions there?
Speaker 1: It did say that. It did say a man and
Speaker 1: a woman, and there's a difference. So that's the reason
Speaker 1: men shouldn't be in women's sport. Here's the difference. But
Speaker 1: then yet they tried to tell you a man could
Speaker 1: get pregnant. We are always saying that. Jack. Honestly, you
Speaker 1: reading a herschel Walker quote gives it just dignifies what
Speaker 1: he says way too much because he doesn't even know
Speaker 1: what he's saying when he's up there. So it doesn't
Speaker 1: think I think it sounded like how but it doesn't
Speaker 1: make there's no logic to it. He also got out
Speaker 1: of your head. He he had a rally to where
Speaker 1: he was. First of all, I think he accused like
Speaker 1: he was trying to say Raphael Warnock was like abusing
Speaker 1: kids or something, and he was like, I know somebody
Speaker 1: who wants to He's he like alluded to something like that.
Speaker 1: But then he's talked about how Archie Bunker wouldn't. I'm
Speaker 1: just again, you don't. You don't know what he's saying.
Speaker 1: But he decided to bring up Archie Bunker at his
Speaker 1: Senate rally. He is a man on a cloth? Has
Speaker 1: he read the Bible? Where I read? Because they talked
Speaker 1: about forgiveness. They said, don't look at this spick and
Speaker 1: your brother's I look at the plank in your own
Speaker 1: You gotta ask for forgiveness. And he never asked for
Speaker 1: forgiveness and moved on. He said, talking about the past,
Speaker 1: we don't want to live in the past. Or y'all
Speaker 1: can tell you this here, Archer Barker, when do't you
Speaker 1: be on air today? Would it not? And I tell
Speaker 1: you what I used to look Archer Bunker. Did you
Speaker 1: not like Archer Barker, cob he calls the Senator war now,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be on air because he's still living in
Speaker 1: the past. You gotta come to the future, sir, what okay?
Speaker 1: So anyway, okay to be a big because your Archie Bunker,
Speaker 1: so Warren, because living in the past, because he wouldn't
Speaker 1: let something from the past on the future on the
Speaker 1: TV and the present. Well, Archie bunkers from the past obviously,
Speaker 1: I think, and the internal logic doesn't hold up here anyway.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. When you read it out loud,
Speaker 1: it it could sound more logically because you're even processing
Speaker 1: it in a way where you're trying to give it
Speaker 1: more meaning. All that to say is, uh, stay away
Speaker 1: from him. Yes. Uh. They also the shooting happened on
Speaker 1: the day that the LGBTQ community recognizes the Transgender Day
Speaker 1: of Remembrance by honoring all the transgender and gender nonconforming
Speaker 1: people killed by violence, at least thirty two this year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, if we even talked about the focus
Speaker 1: on the family being based in Colorado strings Tort's episode,
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's I mean, all we're just living in
Speaker 1: a at present. There's a place for people who are
Speaker 1: open to this kind of thinking to like ingest round
Speaker 1: the clock hateful rhetoric. But then like those people will
Speaker 1: throw their hands up and say it's a conspiracy from
Speaker 1: people who are actually fighting for equality. That's such violence happen.
Speaker 1: The World Cup is happening. The World Cup kicked off,
Speaker 1: which is soccer. I could give a fuck less. I'm
Speaker 1: so fucking mad. I mean, I'm not mad. I don't
Speaker 1: give a fuck. I love soccer. I love the fucking
Speaker 1: World Cup. I wish it was in the summer, like
Speaker 1: you fucking always has been. I wish the FIFA process
Speaker 1: wasn't so fucking corrupted that it enabled, you know, ten
Speaker 1: years of like forced labor to have these venues built
Speaker 1: and Cutter. I mean, maybe you must not have seen
Speaker 1: the head of FIFA gave a cool speech. Well, of
Speaker 1: course I saw it because every time I see something
Speaker 1: come up it was I think it was what Infantino
Speaker 1: from FIFA who gave this speech, trying to act like
Speaker 1: he was simpleth like knowing obviously, like what the issues
Speaker 1: are at the World Cup. He's like no, like and
Speaker 1: at this World Cup, I too feel like I'm gay,
Speaker 1: I'm the migrant worker, I am blah blah blah, and
Speaker 1: people are like, excuse me, sis head, like wealthy guy,
Speaker 1: what are you saying? And he's like and I know
Speaker 1: this because I had red hair as a child and
Speaker 1: was and you're like um. And then he did this thing,
Speaker 1: which is somewhat I think is a genuine thing to
Speaker 1: bring up when like all these Western nations are like
Speaker 1: pointing the finger at Cutter and being like what about
Speaker 1: these atrocities, and he's like, whoa, who are they to speak? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like that's clever, because if we
Speaker 1: were taking all these things in good faith, that would
Speaker 1: actually bring up a moment to like have a reckoning
Speaker 1: with these things. But it isn't, and you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's just kind of a it's a bit of a
Speaker 1: propaganda fest um And just like all the footage you
Speaker 1: see from fans or the stories you read from journalists there,
Speaker 1: it's like one person got turned away from the like
Speaker 1: going to the I guess USA Whales game because they
Speaker 1: had like a shirt with like a rainbow flag on it,
Speaker 1: and like the securities like you can't wear that in here,
Speaker 1: like you gotta go. And you know, also not to
Speaker 1: mention the whole beer thing that happened over the weekend,
Speaker 1: they said that they would be selling beer and then
Speaker 1: they until that second there like yeah, man, no beer
Speaker 1: in the fucking uh at the venues anymore, because at
Speaker 1: first they were saying like Budweiser has like a seventy
Speaker 1: five million dollar deal like with FIFA and so but
Speaker 1: like the I guess the government of Cutter was like, nah,
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't we can't have any alcohol
Speaker 1: in near the venues anymore, like, but but you said
Speaker 1: we could have it like outside the venue as long
Speaker 1: as like, but so the fans could have like some
Speaker 1: beer like nah, but it does seem like it's too
Speaker 1: late for you guys to cancel, huh. So anyways, funk yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, the journalists and the people who were there,
Speaker 1: like there's just real so chi vibes like this is
Speaker 1: evil here and all. I mean. But on top of
Speaker 1: it too, like you're seeing there's also like all this
Speaker 1: counter activism that's happening. Like you know, they were there,
Speaker 1: players like their commentators who you know, like some of
Speaker 1: the teams couldn't wear captain's arm bands, like the captain
Speaker 1: wars an arm band like on the field and that
Speaker 1: had like rainbow flags on them as a way to say,
Speaker 1: despite the stance of the nation here, we are standing
Speaker 1: in solidarity with like the LGBTQ community, um, like some
Speaker 1: of the broadcasters because like the teams were scared off
Speaker 1: if it was like you'll get a yellow hard if
Speaker 1: you wear that on the field, and so they so
Speaker 1: like some of the broadcasters were wearing them on the
Speaker 1: broadcast to try and like still make the point. And
Speaker 1: you saw like with the Iranian national team they played
Speaker 1: in England, you know, they didn't even sing their national anthem.
Speaker 1: That a lot of people were like, wow, this is
Speaker 1: they're apparently trying to know protest what's happening in their
Speaker 1: own country at the moment, like on the heels of
Speaker 1: increased violence, or rather it hasn't stopped since all of
Speaker 1: the demonstrations have taken place, So there's like there's just
Speaker 1: so much going on, and like on top of it,
Speaker 1: just the the the jingleism that comes out, it just
Speaker 1: feels a little different. I like, yeah, it's the World Cup.
Speaker 1: I just wish it weren't. I wish it was in
Speaker 1: the summer, and I wish people wasn't such a fucked
Speaker 1: up organization. But here it is. Here it is. Kyrie
Speaker 1: is back. So that's great. Uh No, that's that's terrible.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be he shouldn't be playing beast. But it's well, yeah,
Speaker 1: the other thing that's trending is Kyrie because the Black
Speaker 1: Israel it's pulled up to the Barclay Center in mass
Speaker 1: and like we're like, you know, they're to support the
Speaker 1: big homie Kyrie Irving. But yeah, that's not a good
Speaker 1: look when you know, like a literal hate group are
Speaker 1: your most vocal defenders outside of the venue, Like if
Speaker 1: you've ever ever encountered black Israelites, uh, you know, because
Speaker 1: they might be like just saying the most homophobic, like
Speaker 1: backwards aggressive ship you've ever heard. But yeah, anyway, so
Speaker 1: that was that was all happening to. So sports are
Speaker 1: coming a light this week. Jesus Ben Simmons is looking
Speaker 1: better past a couple of games. Okay, yeah, a D two.
Speaker 1: I mean there's that too. Yeah. The other thing with
Speaker 1: the World Cup, I just want to touch on it,
Speaker 1: like there's this whole there's like a whole narrative I
Speaker 1: keep seeing where they're like, this is Lionel Messi's last
Speaker 1: time to win a World Cup, and I that's possible.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's going to be the case,
Speaker 1: but you know, who knows. Who knows? But why did
Speaker 1: he say he might retire and that they're just like
Speaker 1: point four years after this, he's not gonna look anything
Speaker 1: like how he does now. So I think that's that's
Speaker 1: why a lot of people are like he's like the
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players of all time who hasn't
Speaker 1: won a World Cup. So you're saying that, like you're
Speaker 1: you're not buying that it's going to be his last time,
Speaker 1: or you're not buying that he's not buying argenteam that
Speaker 1: can win it. I just don't things he had like
Speaker 1: they have a lot of trouble and like the at
Speaker 1: the World Cup. But again with the times and everything,
Speaker 1: it's also wild because I'm just sorry, like I'm processing
Speaker 1: all this outad. I normally watched so many World Cup
Speaker 1: matches and I've been completely We've been on for four
Speaker 1: years now, Jesus, Chris, oh Jack, We've been together two
Speaker 1: World Cups now except for this shitty one, and I
Speaker 1: guess the Russia one was also had a lot of
Speaker 1: it too. Anyway, check out Lords of Soccer, the podcast
Speaker 1: that I helped produce that goes into the corruption at
Speaker 1: FIFA and why you know we're having this terrible event
Speaker 1: at a time like check out all right, well, those
Speaker 1: are some of the things that are trending on this
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon. We are back tomorrow with all last episode
Speaker 1: of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
Speaker 1: be kind to yourself. Get the flu shot, get the vaccine,
Speaker 1: get the boosters, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we will talk to you all tomorrow by
