Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Zeitmer before Chris Print. Yeah, yes, I will it is.
My name is Jack that over there, Well, that's the
creator of that trending title, mister Miles, the creator of
the Matrix and the Terminator.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
He wrote, I wrote the Matrix, also wrote Terminator, and
I'm not Jaguar right, she's actually stealing my ideas just
for the.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Record, part of record. For the record, I wrote the Matrix.
How's it going, man?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Uh just I'm I'm I hope people who are living
in the path of this hurricane are getting to safety,
and I hope everything is being done for those that
are unable to get out, because everything I'm seeing is
making me increasingly more and more uh just very scary.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah yeah, and just like also lives in Tampa did
get out, Thank God. Good call on the car, because there's.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Just there's just a ton of shit I'm just on
social media, whether it's misinformation or like ominous things with
like animals like scurrying away or people being so arrogant.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
That Sandhill crane.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, my husband's a commercial grade builder. We live on
the water in Tampa. We're not going anywhere and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
My god, so rude, We're not going anywhere. Fuck.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Like the takes too of Like a lot of people
are making jokes about just you know, like how like
conservatives like this isn't you know, this is a machine
that's doing it or whatever, it's fake God, But then
you're like, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It is.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
The it's the cars we drive, are the machines that
are doing it. The fuels that hurricane Yeah, the things
that we're powering the earth, those are quite actually.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The the machines.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But anyway, Yes, there's a lot I think a lot
of stuff happening around it that we'll talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm hop in the hurricane machine and go to rauts. Yeah,
well we are going to talk about that. Because Disney
World is closing for Hurricane Milton. That is going to
be the twelfth closure in the park's history. So they
are taking it seriously, which is good. On the other hand,
(02:14):
less good. Several floor to jails and prisons are straight
up refusing to evacuate their residents, even though some of
them are in the zone a evacuation area that is
supposed to be evacuated first, not just like evacuated all
like if at the first. Yes, and that's not.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
A good thing being in a Well, I'm a group A,
I get to board the plane first, not like a
plane boarding situation first. Zone A could face a storm
surge of up to eleven feet. And yeah, they're supposed
to be priority evacuations, like, evacuate them first, then we'll
figure out the rest. They're not evacuating at all. A
(02:57):
deputy with Manatee County Jail old Newsweek that the jail
would reportedly be stocked with sandbags and other supplies, and
in the event of flooding, residents would be moved to
the top.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Floor of the jail. And didn't this happen? Yeah, this
happened with Katrina.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
And wasn't there what movie was made around them, like
Bad Lieutenant or something like the remake.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh I don't know, I haven't seen either Beds Lieutenant.
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, but yeah, in that case, prisoners
went days without food, water, and ventilation. Deputies admit that
they received no emergency training and were entirely unaware of
any evacuation plan, and even some prison guards were left
locked in at their post to fend for themselves, which
(03:44):
pretty horrible. Yeah, my god, I mean yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
The other thing too, is like I mean, I don't
know if we touched on this, but there was like
a business owner who was not allowing his employees to
evacuate and demanded they still work.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And then those people.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Were tragically like swept way in the waters and a
few people died and Helene, yeah, yeah, and Helene and God,
it's like I hope that this just like sick trend
of like the boss culture being like you gotta keep
working until I say so doesn't lead to this, but yeah,
please be safe because there's also a ton of nonsense
(04:21):
being spewed out there that would have people believing that
maybe you.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Don't have to worry about this at all. Yeah, Like
a Republican had to come out with a statement to
his constituents, right, like Chuck Edwards from North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah he so again North Carolina obviously experienced a lot
of terrible devastation from Helene. He had to come out
like like it says, dear friend, like you know, just
being like, look, I get it, there's some stuff maybe
FEMA could have done better, but I think some people
need to dispel these myths. It has like seven bullet
points It's like says one Hurricane Helen was not geo
(04:58):
engineered by the government. No, oh, one can control the weather.
They are not looking for lithium deposits at Chimney Rock.
FEMA is not stopping trucks or vehicles with donations or
confiscating supplies or turning away donations. FEMA has not diverted
disaster response funding to the border or foreign aid. FEMA
(05:19):
is not going to run out of money. FEMA cannot
seize your property or land. The FAA is not restricting
access to airspace for Helen rescue and recovery operations. FEMA
is not only just providing seven hundred and fifty dollars
to disaster survivors to support their recovery.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's just like it's just wild too.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
When you have a Republican who's just probably so sick
of the nonsense that you hear constituents probably like being like, well,
what are you gonna do to stop the FEMA cam
didn't It's.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Like, what the fuck are y'all here? What? No, that's
not how many of the shit works.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, but yeah, it's but again, you know, there's just
non stop shit, you know, coming out of like Facebook,
posts and far right influencers too.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
He needs to get one of those Biff cards. You
ever hear that story about how Bit, the guy who
played Biff and Back to the Future just keep the
card on him and everythnswer would come up to him, Kai,
excuse me, he would just hand them the card that
was like, yes, I'm Biff from Back to the Future. Uh. No,
I didn't get to drive the Dolorean. Making the movie
was a blast. Michael J. Fox is really nice, like
(06:24):
just the five questions he gets every time.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yes, and yes, I do think hoverboards should exist.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Sadly they don't.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And no, I don't have an actual almanac with all
of the future results of major sporting events contained within it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah. I love just somebody reading that being like yeah,
but no, oh wait, sorry, I'm seeing here that hoverboards
don't exist. Yeah damn. That was the one that I
really thought nobody else was going to ask you, did
you think hoverboards would exist? By now? From watching Back
to the Future, I thought it did not. Oh damn.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I watched that and I was like I can't I
mean like, I can't wait, I can't wait for the
future and watch these ones will go on water I
don't care what the movie said.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, one will work on water. I guess I mean
the one that like blows the air down. I think
like that. Yeah, but didn't really doesn't. It never totally
made sense to me, right, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, Well, that's that's probably the four year advantage you
had on me in age when you saw it versus me.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Right exactly, we're like, little does it come out? It's
a toy, it said, Mattel makes it so it's it
has to be real. Yeah, all right, And then just
a note that as Milton is making landfall, Republican House
members are sponsoring a bill that frames climate as a
(07:48):
false emergency. So these are two Republican lawmakers co sponsoring
the legislation alongside seventeen other Republicans, including several that represent
the Gulf Coast region. And yeah, they call it a
false emergency. That is the language that they use. And
(08:09):
it's basically aiming to make it so that oil and
gas industries can't be you know, held back from doing
their thing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, yes, fucking on.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
American absolutely absolutely, yeah, protected the fragile industry of the
oil pumpers.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back. And we're back. We are back. So
Kamala Harris is doing a media blitz on The View.
(08:48):
Colbert call her daddy, Stern had some good Stern had
some good answers on call her daddy cracked a brew
with Colbert.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's the final hurdle, man, Yeah, you know exactly. You
pass the beer with you.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
That's not to have a beer with this person. Right.
The View appearance, I feel like was not her finest work,
and it's truly on your starting to feel like both
sides are like trying to lose this race. I mean,
I guess Atliet Trump is trying to win with people
(09:25):
who are racist and already like in the bag for him.
But Harris just don't even know how to interpret like
what she's going for. I mean, I guess I do.
She thinks that she can win over the undecided, like
she she's just like New York Times brained, trying to
both sides it. Yes, So, when asked what she would
(09:48):
have done differently than Biden, she said, not a thing
comes to mind, and then added that she would have
a Republican in her cabinet. Like later she was like, actually,
you know what. Here, here's what I'll do. I'll be
even more to the right of gid In, a historically
unpopular president who like that is why you are now
(10:10):
running for president. It is because he completely fucked the
handling of Israel, and uh, like you need to be
willing to run the fuck away from him.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, well, I mean this is they're they're they're they're
they're just playing it so safe, you know what I mean, And.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Which is weird because it's not safe exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It's the feeling that logically, by trying to appeal to
people who are to the right of them, that they
can expand the base when there are plenty people that
are to the middle and left that you could expand
the base with in much larger numbers than like the
Hailey voters.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You might be trying to pick off.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I just it's also like really frightening too, because even
though like we're talking about we're talking about climate change also,
and they constantly talk about like the record numbers in
which oil production is happening like domestically, Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Like that's part of the fucking problem. That's part of
the problem. The whole thing just seems to be aimed
at trying to like defend themselves against any bad faith attack.
Like they're just trying to win over people who they're
not going to win over. They were never going to
(11:27):
win over. So Israel is openly trying to get you know,
nt Yahoo's openly trying to get Trump elected by trying
to start an all out war in the Middle East.
And you know, if they succeed, their reasoning is Trump
will be willing to like launch America into that war
right along with them. So now it's like up to
like whether Iran fights back and enters an open war,
(11:49):
because like if they do, like that's if there's just
like open war between Iran and Israel, like Trump will
probably get elect at that point, Like I mean, regardless
of like the election.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Right, there's you're talking about like nuclear armed states.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, that's the other part of it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You're talking about people with nukes that are now just saying,
let's enter into full, full un armed conflict that can
get fucking so spicy so quickly that it could completely
just change the entire course of the Earth. I mean, well,
we'll talk about this probably in one of the later episodes,
But there was a journalist who like confronted Matt Miller
(12:34):
from the State Department about this, and it's like a
really poignant clip because he's just just straightforward being like this,
this could be this could end terribly for everyone forgetting
like the politics of it, Like we're talking about something
that could reverse the course of humanity if we have
like a hot nuclear war suddenly. So yeah, a lot
(12:56):
of stuff is very very disconcerting, and you know, I
think also just seeing how the focus is increasingly being
paid to like illegal immigration and the rhetoric around that,
it's just very yamb.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The one thing we have done, of course, is I
do think Iran is generally like more rational than they're
given credit for by the Western media, and so I
don't I don't know. I'm hoping that they don't fucking
launch into all at war.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
This is but I mean, yeah, at this point, this
is this is really of the US forum. US foreign
policy has brought things to.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Not a great position, no, not at all, and then
they won't fight back. Yeah, and that's not you.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You would probably get more people interested if you were
saying like no, this like we need we need to
stop all of this, We need to figure out how
to peacefully de escalate everything, rather than being like, yeah, man,
I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not going to say
they don't have a right to go after. Now let's
add to the list Lebanon, Iran and you know, expanding that.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
We're the cruelty party too. Yeah yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah,
it's just a leap up to miles. It's so funny
that you should ask that because do a Lipa put
pickle and jilipino juice in her diet coke?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh thank god, Jack, get me off this planet.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That what? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, what, it's just so weird.
The dirty Martini of diet coke for diet coke.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that's that's called Mississippi Mississippi
mudwater right there, when you like get all the pickle
juice and jalapena juice in there, isn't our world really,
It's just so funny, Like I think about everything we
talk about. It's a good one hand, this could be
an existential threat to humanity, but also do a Lipa
(14:55):
is still seeing her diet coke with some pickle juice
and jlapenos and guests what Hoda and Jenna tried it
and what's the verdict.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Did they like it? I don't know, because the Internet
is broken because it's choked with ads, so the internet
works far worse than it did fucking ten years ago.
Bad Timeline. Yeah, yeah, yes, fucking sucks.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I guess I'll try it.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I mean, if that's all we got left is putting
pickle juice and halapeno juice in our diet cokes, and
I'm all in.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I'm all in, man, Yeah, I like I like a
spicy beverage, spicy bev. You do you ever put anything
in your diet coke?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Though?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Like any way, No, why am I even saying that?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Like I'm asking you as if you're like super adventurous
with your diet, Like I just drink that shit. It's
fucking talking about I like to add honey vomit. Yeah,
it's a little bit of honey.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, they seem like they're okay. Jenna, by the way,
is uh Jenna Bush? Oh yeah, wish I just realized.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what a cool world we live. Yeah,
I did not realize that. So the new like Kathy
Lee is Jenna Bush, the W's daughter daughter of George W.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Bush, And it's got that like little w face too,
you know what I mean. You can see it, you
can see the bush there. Hell yeah, I mean and
by that I mean her family name.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
They are not fans, but judging from the drink, I mean,
they have the look of people like a twelve year
old who just tried whiskey for the first time, you
know what I mean, Like by accident. It's like, oh,
why would anybody drink this? Well, I mean, but a
famous person did, so we gotta try it. We got it,
that's right. Dulipa feels like she's probably doing an experiment
(16:41):
just to see like the dumbest shit that she can
get people to do based on her. Uh, or maybe
she enjoys this.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I don't know, I mean, or maybe we're we don't
Maybe we're already dumb enough and we don't need du
Alipa to prove that.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And finally, Collider has come out with their list of
the ten worst late career movies by great directors in
honor Megalopolis, which, oh wow, that's right of Megalopolis still
makes me kind of intrigued, which just ones in. Uh,
They're just like, maybe this will age well at some point,
(17:17):
maybe just the world isn't ready for something so bizarre
and uncompromising. It's it's like bad. But also they say
it fluctuates between goofy, tedious and overly sentimental. At the
drop of a hat, you should pick up that hat.
And they say he had a vision and he certainly
(17:37):
realized it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
What like, I'm looking at these other movies on the list,
What the fuck is Dracula three?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
D Oh, you don't know Dracula three? No, I don't know.
That's number one on here. I'm like, what the fuck
am I looking at? Least like Rucker Howard holding two
sticks and being like, ah, I banished thee. It was
made by Dario Argento, who made like Area and Deep
read like a lot of a lot of classic films,
(18:06):
works of horror style, and they kick off the list.
And this is what got my attention with Ferrari, which
I hadn't I hadn't really seen it put on level
as like a disaster. This is the Michael Man movie
that I watched last year. I watched it when it
came out, and it has some questionable performances, but it
(18:30):
also has car crashes where it reveals that people before
seatbelts would fly out of cars when they were in
car crashes, like they were spring loaded, Like air pods
fly out of a case when you drop them.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Oh yep, yep, yep, you know, or when my baby
throws them. Yeah, yeah, he loves my fucking AirPods. Dude,
He's like he knows them by name. Now he goes
AirPod and then just like pulls them out and then
just throws him up like it's a fucking wedding and
they're he's throwing rice, and I'm like, I am constantly
losing them.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So I'm learning to not babies shouldn't be hatch probably
doing Jesus, that's probably what the gen Z's doing these days,
throwing AirPods instead of race.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I mean, I saw public enemies that wasn't great either,
But then you know, he did heat and like Ali Collateral,
Miami Vice, all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I
guess for I mean, I don't know, I didn't really
hold Michael Mann up in such high regard that I
would also be like.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And you know, it was a real l for Michael
Man was Ferrari, but I don't know, he classics like
Last of the Mohicans.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh yeah, it's very I love the message and everything
about it. But like, yeah, the thing I love about
Collateral is also I think he really went out of
his way to capture what used to be LA's signature
light look, which is we had orange tinged street lights
in Los Angeles, and it's a huge part of like
the aesthetic of that film, and I think for like
Angelino's that's kind of like a very important detail that
(20:09):
I'm I appreciate.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And just time travel in the movie Collateral.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, yeah, exact sodium vaport with technical specs, sodium vapor
rep yep, sodium vapor gang baby.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Because now everything's LEDs.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I had one at the end of my block that
was still one of those old school ones and like
in the last few months.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
The city came and changed it out. It's kind of
a bummer end of an era. Yep hmm. All right, well,
those are some of the things that are trending on
this Wednesday, October ninth. We are back tomorrow with the
Who last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine,
get your flu shot, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
(20:52):
and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Right,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Zeitmer before Chris Print. Yeah, yes, I will it is.
My name is Jack that over there, Well, that's the
creator of that trending title, mister Miles, the creator of
the Matrix and the Terminator.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
He wrote, I wrote the Matrix, also wrote Terminator, and
I'm not Jaguar right, she's actually stealing my ideas just

Yeah yeah, and just like also lives in Tampa did
get out, Thank God. Good call on the car, because there's.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Just there's just a ton of shit I'm just on
social media, whether it's misinformation or like ominous things with
like animals like scurrying away or people being so arrogant.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
That Sandhill crane.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, my husband's a commercial grade builder. We live on
the water in Tampa. We're not going anywhere and I'm like, oh.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
My god, so rude, We're not going anywhere. Fuck.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Like the takes too of Like a lot of people
are making jokes about just you know, like how like
conservatives like this isn't you know, this is a machine
that's doing it or whatever, it's fake God, But then
you're like, yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
It is.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
The it's the cars we drive, are the machines that
are doing it. The fuels that hurricane Yeah, the things
that we're powering the earth, those are quite actually.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The the machines.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But anyway, Yes, there's a lot I think a lot
of stuff happening around it that we'll talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I'm hop in the hurricane machine and go to rauts. Yeah,
well we are going to talk about that. Because Disney
World is closing for Hurricane Milton. That is going to
be the twelfth closure in the park's history. So they
are taking it seriously, which is good. On the other hand,

I get to board the plane first, not like a
plane boarding situation first. Zone A could face a storm
surge of up to eleven feet. And yeah, they're supposed
to be priority evacuations, like, evacuate them first, then we'll
figure out the rest. They're not evacuating at all. A
(02:57):
deputy with Manatee County Jail old Newsweek that the jail
would reportedly be stocked with sandbags and other supplies, and
in the event of flooding, residents would be moved to

Speaker 1 (03:09):

happened with Katrina.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
And wasn't there what movie was made around them, like
Bad Lieutenant or something like the remake.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh I don't know, I haven't seen either Beds Lieutenant.
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, but yeah, in that case, prisoners
went days without food, water, and ventilation. Deputies admit that
they received no emergency training and were entirely unaware of
any evacuation plan, and even some prison guards were left
locked in at their post to fend for themselves, which
(03:44):
pretty horrible. Yeah, my god, I mean yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
The other thing too, is like I mean, I don't
know if we touched on this, but there was like
a business owner who was not allowing his employees to

Speaker 1 (03:57):
And then those people.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Were tragically like swept way in the waters and a
few people died and Helene, yeah, yeah, and Helene and God,
it's like I hope that this just like sick trend
of like the boss culture being like you gotta keep

access to airspace for Helen rescue and recovery operations. FEMA
is not only just providing seven hundred and fifty dollars
to disaster survivors to support their recovery.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It's just like it's just wild too.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
When you have a Republican who's just probably so sick
of the nonsense that you hear constituents probably like being like, well,
what are you gonna do to stop the FEMA cam
didn't It's.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Like, what the fuck are y'all here? What? No, that's
not how many of the shit works.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, but yeah, it's but again, you know, there's just
non stop shit, you know, coming out of like Facebook,
posts and far right influencers too.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
He needs to get one of those Biff cards. You
ever hear that story about how Bit, the guy who
played Biff and Back to the Future just keep the
card on him and everythnswer would come up to him, Kai,
excuse me, he would just hand them the card that
was like, yes, I'm Biff from Back to the Future. Uh. No,
I didn't get to drive the Dolorean. Making the movie
was a blast. Michael J. Fox is really nice, like
(06:24):
just the five questions he gets every time.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yes, and yes, I do think hoverboards should exist.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Sadly they don't.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
And no, I don't have an actual almanac with all
of the future results of major sporting events contained within it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah. I love just somebody reading that being like yeah,
but no, oh wait, sorry, I'm seeing here that hoverboards
don't exist. Yeah damn. That was the one that I
really thought nobody else was going to ask you, did
you think hoverboards would exist? By now? From watching Back
to the Future, I thought it did not. Oh damn.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I watched that and I was like I can't I
mean like, I can't wait, I can't wait for the
future and watch these ones will go on water I
don't care what the movie said.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, one will work on water. I guess I mean
the one that like blows the air down. I think
like that. Yeah, but didn't really doesn't. It never totally
made sense to me, right, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, Well, that's that's probably the four year advantage you
had on me in age when you saw it versus me.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Right exactly, we're like, little does it come out? It's
a toy, it said, Mattel makes it so it's it
has to be real. Yeah, all right, And then just
a note that as Milton is making landfall, Republican House
members are sponsoring a bill that frames climate as a
(07:48):
false emergency. So these are two Republican lawmakers co sponsoring
the legislation alongside seventeen other Republicans, including several that represent
the Gulf Coast region. And yeah, they call it a
false emergency. That is the language that they use. And
(08:09):
it's basically aiming to make it so that oil and
gas industries can't be you know, held back from doing
their thing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Man.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah, yes, fucking on.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
American absolutely absolutely, yeah, protected the fragile industry of the
oil pumpers.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back. And we're back. We are back. So
Kamala Harris is doing a media blitz on The View.
(08:48):
Colbert call her daddy, Stern had some good Stern had
some good answers on call her daddy cracked a brew
with Colbert.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's the final hurdle, man, Yeah, you know exactly. You
pass the beer with you.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
That's not to have a beer with this person. Right.
The View appearance, I feel like was not her finest work,
and it's truly on your starting to feel like both
sides are like trying to lose this race. I mean,
I guess Atliet Trump is trying to win with people
(09:25):
who are racist and already like in the bag for him.
But Harris just don't even know how to interpret like
what she's going for. I mean, I guess I do.
She thinks that she can win over the undecided, like
she she's just like New York Times brained, trying to
both sides it. Yes, So, when asked what she would
(09:48):
have done differently than Biden, she said, not a thing
comes to mind, and then added that she would have
a Republican in her cabinet. Like later she was like, actually,
you know what. Here, here's what I'll do. I'll be
even more to the right of gid In, a historically
unpopular president who like that is why you are now
(10:10):
running for president. It is because he completely fucked the
handling of Israel, and uh, like you need to be
willing to run the fuck away from him.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, well, I mean this is they're they're they're they're
they're just playing it so safe, you know what I mean, And.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Which is weird because it's not safe exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It's the feeling that logically, by trying to appeal to
people who are to the right of them, that they
can expand the base when there are plenty people that
are to the middle and left that you could expand
the base with in much larger numbers than like the
Hailey voters.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
You might be trying to pick off.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I just it's also like really frightening too, because even
though like we're talking about we're talking about climate change also,
and they constantly talk about like the record numbers in
which oil production is happening like domestically, Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Like that's part of the fucking problem. That's part of
the problem. The whole thing just seems to be aimed
at trying to like defend themselves against any bad faith attack.
Like they're just trying to win over people who they're
not going to win over. They were never going to
(11:27):
win over. So Israel is openly trying to get you know,
nt Yahoo's openly trying to get Trump elected by trying
to start an all out war in the Middle East.
And you know, if they succeed, their reasoning is Trump
will be willing to like launch America into that war
right along with them. So now it's like up to
like whether Iran fights back and enters an open war,
(11:49):
because like if they do, like that's if there's just
like open war between Iran and Israel, like Trump will
probably get elect at that point, Like I mean, regardless
of like the election.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Right, there's you're talking about like nuclear armed states.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, that's the other part of it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You're talking about people with nukes that are now just saying,
let's enter into full, full un armed conflict that can
get fucking so spicy so quickly that it could completely
just change the entire course of the Earth. I mean, well,
we'll talk about this probably in one of the later episodes,
But there was a journalist who like confronted Matt Miller
(12:34):
from the State Department about this, and it's like a
really poignant clip because he's just just straightforward being like this,
this could be this could end terribly for everyone forgetting
like the politics of it, Like we're talking about something
that could reverse the course of humanity if we have
like a hot nuclear war suddenly. So yeah, a lot
(12:56):
of stuff is very very disconcerting, and you know, I
think also just seeing how the focus is increasingly being
paid to like illegal immigration and the rhetoric around that,
it's just very yamb.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The one thing we have done, of course, is I
do think Iran is generally like more rational than they're
given credit for by the Western media, and so I
don't I don't know. I'm hoping that they don't fucking
launch into all at war.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
This is but I mean, yeah, at this point, this
is this is really of the US forum. US foreign
policy has brought things to.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Not a great position, no, not at all, and then
they won't fight back. Yeah, and that's not you.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You would probably get more people interested if you were
saying like no, this like we need we need to
stop all of this, We need to figure out how
to peacefully de escalate everything, rather than being like, yeah, man,
I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not going to say
they don't have a right to go after. Now let's
add to the list Lebanon, Iran and you know, expanding that.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
We're the cruelty party too. Yeah yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah,
it's just a leap up to miles. It's so funny
that you should ask that because do a Lipa put
pickle and jilipino juice in her diet coke?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh thank god, Jack, get me off this planet.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That what? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, what, it's just so weird.
The dirty Martini of diet coke for diet coke.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that's that's called Mississippi Mississippi
mudwater right there, when you like get all the pickle
juice and jalapena juice in there, isn't our world really,
It's just so funny, Like I think about everything we
talk about. It's a good one hand, this could be
an existential threat to humanity, but also do a Lipa
(14:55):
is still seeing her diet coke with some pickle juice
and jlapenos and guests what Hoda and Jenna tried it
and what's the verdict.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Did they like it? I don't know, because the Internet
is broken because it's choked with ads, so the internet
works far worse than it did fucking ten years ago.
Bad Timeline. Yeah, yeah, yes, fucking sucks.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I guess I'll try it.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I mean, if that's all we got left is putting
pickle juice and halapeno juice in our diet cokes, and
I'm all in.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I'm all in, man, Yeah, I like I like a
spicy beverage, spicy bev. You do you ever put anything
in your diet coke?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Though?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Like any way, No, why am I even saying that?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Like I'm asking you as if you're like super adventurous
with your diet, Like I just drink that shit. It's
fucking talking about I like to add honey vomit. Yeah,
it's a little bit of honey.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, they seem like they're okay. Jenna, by the way,
is uh Jenna Bush? Oh yeah, wish I just realized.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, what a cool world we live. Yeah,
I did not realize that. So the new like Kathy
Lee is Jenna Bush, the W's daughter daughter of George W.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Bush, And it's got that like little w face too,
you know what I mean. You can see it, you
can see the bush there. Hell yeah, I mean and
by that I mean her family name.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
They are not fans, but judging from the drink, I mean,
they have the look of people like a twelve year
old who just tried whiskey for the first time, you
know what I mean, Like by accident. It's like, oh,
why would anybody drink this? Well, I mean, but a
famous person did, so we gotta try it. We got it,
that's right. Dulipa feels like she's probably doing an experiment
(16:41):
just to see like the dumbest shit that she can
get people to do based on her. Uh, or maybe
she enjoys this.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I don't know, I mean, or maybe we're we don't
Maybe we're already dumb enough and we don't need du
Alipa to prove that.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And finally, Collider has come out with their list of
the ten worst late career movies by great directors in
honor Megalopolis, which, oh wow, that's right of Megalopolis still
makes me kind of intrigued, which just ones in. Uh,
They're just like, maybe this will age well at some point,
(17:17):
maybe just the world isn't ready for something so bizarre
and uncompromising. It's it's like bad. But also they say
it fluctuates between goofy, tedious and overly sentimental. At the
drop of a hat, you should pick up that hat.
And they say he had a vision and he certainly
(17:37):
realized it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
What like, I'm looking at these other movies on the list,
What the fuck is Dracula three?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
D Oh, you don't know Dracula three? No, I don't know.
That's number one on here. I'm like, what the fuck
am I looking at? Least like Rucker Howard holding two
sticks and being like, ah, I banished thee. It was
made by Dario Argento, who made like Area and Deep
read like a lot of a lot of classic films,
(18:06):
works of horror style, and they kick off the list.
And this is what got my attention with Ferrari, which
I hadn't I hadn't really seen it put on level
as like a disaster. This is the Michael Man movie
that I watched last year. I watched it when it
came out, and it has some questionable performances, but it
(18:30):
also has car crashes where it reveals that people before
seatbelts would fly out of cars when they were in
car crashes, like they were spring loaded, Like air pods
fly out of a case when you drop them.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Oh yep, yep, yep, you know, or when my baby
throws them. Yeah, yeah, he loves my fucking AirPods. Dude,
He's like he knows them by name. Now he goes
AirPod and then just like pulls them out and then
just throws him up like it's a fucking wedding and
they're he's throwing rice, and I'm like, I am constantly
losing them.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So I'm learning to not babies shouldn't be hatch probably
doing Jesus, that's probably what the gen Z's doing these days,
throwing AirPods instead of race.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I mean, I saw public enemies that wasn't great either,
But then you know, he did heat and like Ali Collateral,
Miami Vice, all that kind of stuff. But yeah, I
guess for I mean, I don't know, I didn't really
hold Michael Mann up in such high regard that I
would also be like.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And you know, it was a real l for Michael
Man was Ferrari, but I don't know, he classics like
Last of the Mohicans.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh yeah, it's very I love the message and everything
about it. But like, yeah, the thing I love about
Collateral is also I think he really went out of
his way to capture what used to be LA's signature
light look, which is we had orange tinged street lights
in Los Angeles, and it's a huge part of like
the aesthetic of that film, and I think for like
Angelino's that's kind of like a very important detail that
(20:09):
I'm I appreciate.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And just time travel in the movie Collateral.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, yeah, exact sodium vaport with technical specs, sodium vapor
rep yep, sodium vapor gang baby.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Because now everything's LEDs.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I had one at the end of my block that
was still one of those old school ones and like
in the last few months.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
The city came and changed it out. It's kind of
a bummer end of an era. Yep hmm. All right, well,
those are some of the things that are trending on
this Wednesday, October ninth. We are back tomorrow with the
Who last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine,
get your flu shot, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
(20:52):
and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Right,
