My body is like fucking either because I'm forty or
just from having whatever. Dude, I was so fucking sick.

because it wasn't even like I think it had to
have been some kind of bacterial thing because it flew
through this entire friend group. Yeah.

Yeah, we had that like Thanksgiving one time at my parents'
house where like we had two baby three babies in
the house and something just blew through and everybody right
got hit.

can't trust the fart, can't trust them. I can't never
trust a big fart with a smile. Never, dang, look
at that fart over there. I think it's smiling at me. No, smile.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Nope, I looks like it'll just be dry and loud.
Why are you?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
No, No, that's not what's gonna happen. Do you know
why you're sick? Because that sandwich had poising food poisoned,
poison poison. All right, I think that was pretty good.

I'm forty baby. This is day one, man, our day too.
I guess Day one is my actual birthday, which was yesterday. Yeah, man,
I wish it felt more. It's one of those things
where a lot of people were like, Y know me,
like you're forty. I was like, bro, I was actually
(03:09):
in my mind I thought turning thirty was a bigger deal.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, like once, I probably just maturity.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, and I think also like it. It feels like
a very like old school like over the like shit,
how our parents looked at turning forty, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, that yeah kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I remember when my dad turned forty and was like, whoh,
he's your dad's forty And I was like, I don't know,
know what the fuck? He looks the same. Yeah, but yeah,
I feel like Hallmark card over forty, Like turning forty is.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like bald heads, like big beer belly.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
You're describing me right now, big old beer belly filled
with Dunkin Donuts right now.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I gotta get it together there. But yeah, anyway, it was.
It was a wonderful, wonderful time as I recovered from
my terrible health. Yeah, but yeah, I'm back. I'm back.
I'm back.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Sometimes your body just has to you know, let you know, yeah,
let you let you know.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Hey, Sometimes sometimes a virus just has to pop out
and show you. Uh, that's that your body is mortal
and it can be turned into a curled up ball
if if it has to. You're trying to feel like
forty is no big deal. Oh my friend, yeah, old
my tears.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Before we get into the news, we like to get
to know each other a little better. Yeah, by telling
you something that is going on with us, something we
think is underrated, something we think's overrated. How do you
want to kick us off?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah, so I'll say underrated Crofton style YouTube channels, And
by that I don't mean like like just chaotic gen
xers screaming like into a mic. I'm talking about like
this ship Crofton pulls up and he's like, I'm into mudlarking.
I'm into these guys who look for fucking mind shafts. Again,
during my illness, I could not fucking do anything, and
(05:06):
it was tough to Like I needed it. I wanted
to occupy my senses, but I didn't want to watch
I couldn't. I didn't have the capacity to watch a
show or like something funny, even like comforting, Like I
thought I'd watched Simpsons and I was like, ah, dude,
I'm like I'm just in such pain. That's starting to
hate the Simpsons, right, No, yeah, real, I hate that
feeling where you just like, can't you feel so bad
(05:28):
that like you can't even enjoy the things you enjoy? Yeah,
exactly so. And I stumbled upon this YouTube channel called
Drain Cleaning Australia and it's this this alsie guy. Mind
he's from Western Australia. We're out here, we're out here
in path and he he is so fucking into his job,
like just just clearing out backed up drains like people
(05:51):
like have shit exploding out of their drains.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
He's like, oh, this.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Is what dreams are made up. Boys, look at these.
This thing was absolutely like chocola might like this thing
is chocolate block. He keeps saying everything's chalkers because when
it's blocked, and his ability again it's it's you can
hear this smile like as he like, I'm just gonna play.
I don't even know what clip this is, but here's
(06:15):
you can just hear him and clear. So let's invest
the guy and say you want to be clear this
drine anywhere's it go pro at least will be a
sticky bake. And saw the cabinet here and you can
say this is the wise.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Pap trapped here.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So anyway, I'm listening to this guy. He like plays
like weird eighties karate music. When he's like yeah, he's like,
all right, let's fire the Jenner up boys and the
power washer, like the fucking jet stream whatever thing he's
unclogging and then it goes like this like synth track.
It's like dot and it's wow. It's like he was
(06:50):
gonna say he has the energy of a DJ who's
about to drop the beat. Yeah, he sounds so he's
just like, oh, exactly, it's like, oh, I love He's like.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
This thing is like what I'm about to do to them.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I think it's because like they all these videos, they
all have like there's like three acts, you know, like
there's a resolution at the end. There's like a it's
like the hero's journey. It all it's all wraps up.
He wins. There's sometimes there's a bunch of sewage that
explodes everywhere, but he does it with such a like
you can hear how happy he is that it's like
working and he's always like, seriously, I love my job.
(07:26):
Everyone like this is actually the happiest time I ever been,
and You're like, this is dope, And so I realized
I found my I found a channel that spoke to me.
I was not put for for whatever reason, during my
even with my own gastro intestinal troubles, I was not
put off by seeing large amounts of raw sewage like
backed up out of places.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I feel like could be the last thing I'd want
to see, but maybe not. Maybe just with that going
on inside me, like all the yeah, when that is
what's like happening in your biome.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Mair of the dog they call it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, yeah, you're like the biome because we're all just
like half biome thinking for us, you know, like millions
of organisms. Maybe they're just like we want to see
some like I want to see some pipe clear and
porn down here if possible, right right right, that's so interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, anyway, So I recommend it. It's just it's just
there's it's joyful, uh and easy to watch. So I
just found that that kind of channel very underrated.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah, I feel like somebody needs to just like do
a skim Like when the before the Internet was broken,
when people actually like made content on there, I feel
like you could have done just like maybe a single
web page that indexed things that are like good to
watch when you are sick, right, you know, like just because.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Normal like your brain just changes. There's like a change
in the chemistry of your brain. So, yeah, you don't
have a bandwidth for entertainment, you know what I mean?
There are what I.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Gang hit us up with your sick like entertainment, Yeah,
because I I definitely have that. I've like got a
queue of movies that i want to watch. But if
I'm sick, like there's just something about that that's like
too too much.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, you feel all right?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Uh my underrated as insects just a dead bug with
my head, got got into bugs. Uh, just spending a
lot of time driving around uh with my kids with
the show. But how on it's a podcast, but how
that I highly recommend, and like the person who hosts
(09:41):
it is great and obsessed with bugs and so like
even a subject that doesn't seem like it will be
about bugs like wraps around to like having an interesting
bug fact here and there. But I'm coming away just
feeling like all the bug like a bu bugs life
ants that we blew it folks like so boring compared
(10:06):
to the reality of an actual bugs life. First of all,
they're you know, these massive wars that are happening beneath
our feet, like between ant colonies, like massive nations of ants.
One type of vant has been like waging a world
war with another type of VANT for years. But this,
this is the detail that got me this weekend. Insects
(10:28):
will just pick up and fly away on a wind gust.
Like when you look up in the sky and see
a clear blue sky, that's because your eyes aren't good
enough to see the hundreds of thousands of bugs that
are just like surfing around on wind currents at any
(10:48):
given time above all this time.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, or just because they're so light, they're like ah shit.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Later, I don't know. Yeah, Like part of me, I'm
hoping that they do it for like timing, like they
just like say something awesome like that would be the
greatest ability to have, is just do you like say
something devastating and they because all they do, all they
have to do because they're so light, is in the
(11:14):
right conditions, just lift their hands up and then they
just get taken away off sucked right off into the
sky miles. I did think about you and quietly say
they're getting sucked off into the sky. Shut off, shut off, nothing, nothing,
but yeah, like they found a termite at nineteen thousand
(11:35):
feet in the air. One scientist estimates that three billion
insects are passing over our heads in a given month,
depending on where we live. Yeah, it's just like a fucking.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Rip, just talking about non byway of yeah, non flying
bugs in a lot of cases. Wow wow wow, Which
also goes back to my thing on alien sightings, like
the sky is so fucking huge, Like we truly don't
know half of the shit when it comes to like
what's happening over our heads. We just think because we
see a tiny white plane, that's all the tuff. But
(12:09):
those things are like those planes are massive. Like we
go to the airplane, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
There's all these little fuckers flying around, and yeah, I
don't know, like if if that was an ability that
any species had, I feel like if you're making a
movie about them, like that should just be it.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You're just like, yeah, there's cooler shit to be like, Yo,
we got to catch this wind gust, let's go.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah. Yeah, And they're also a good thing to get
interested in, like whether you have kids or not. But
like specifically if you have kids, because they're just like
around us everywhere, so you just like this weekend, we
were having a tough moment, my eight year old and
I walking down the street. He was said, and I
(12:52):
saw a beetle on the ground with like a cool
red pattern on its back, and I was just like, hey, beetle.
And then we just like focused on that for the
next ten minutes. And like there's this The seek app
highly recommend for any parents or just anybody interested in
the world around them, because you can just put it
up and it'll tell you what species it is, and
(13:13):
then you have like reading material and like, oh.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, it's poisonous, but down shit.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
But yeah, so insects really shout out them insects, And yeah,
I definitely have like a natural aversion to like bugs
and mosquitoes. And this podcast host I'm gonna look up
her name, is like, we don't know why people like
they just at a certain point, as children, we're told
(13:41):
by our parents we should be afraid of bugs. And
that's why I'm like, no, it's because they like bite
you and they're like annoying. There's a very good reason
to like find them annoying, but they're also like, if
you just take the time to pay attention to them,
there is an equally fascinating side that run out way.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Dismissing, dismissing them because of their grotesque exoskeletons.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yes, yeah, exactly. Men in black really anti bug propaganda
and I won't stand for it. Miles. What is something
you think is underrated?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Uh? Crofton style YouTube channels?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Miles, And what what I mean, of course, is by saying,
what's something you think is under it? What's something you
think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I thought you were just like g checking me really
quick to see if I'm still standing on that YouTube
ship and what do you think? Oh so you still
that's your answer? Oh wow, okay, I thought you're sucking
around quick.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Jane Lindholm is the radio who passed her obsession with bugs.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Oh she passed. I was like, wait what, yes, thank you,
thank you, lind Holme overrated. There's like I saw another thing.
Where's like like over a dozen Reagan allies are now
back in Kamala Harris. You read like bush app former
Bush administration officials backing Kamala Harris for all these like
(15:05):
Republicans backing Kamala and the media treats it like some
kind of like political checkmate moment where they're like, oh,
oh look who's aligned with this side?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Now, well, well, well and who's cool?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
And I think that's yes. I'm like, while that does
indicate how sort of repugnant Trump is to these sort
of like you know, traditional neo cons and also it's
an indication of just how palatable the Democrats current platform
is to these neo conservatives. Like that part, I'm like, eh,
it's not really the flex you think it is, because
it's not like again, when you look at a lot
(15:41):
of the policies, they're you know, left of the Republicans,
but that just again when you compare that to other
nations we are, that's like basically center right in most instances.
So yeah, just seeing like the constant, like I see
a lot of like, oh oh look who just backed
Kamala and I don't that doesn't mean that Trump has
(16:04):
lost either. Although the polls are like you know, they're
they're always they're always fluctuating. The swing states still seem
very tight. But yeah, but to me, I'm like, yeah,
that that's not that's not that great to be honest,
you know what I mean. And I get what we're
saying that it's a unification against Trump. But at the
same time, would these would these people still be there
if it were advocating for things like medicare for all
(16:27):
or like tangible gun control or these other things. I'm
not I'm not quite sure. But either way, not the flex.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
That we're not having it. We're not forcing them to
uh swallow uncomfortable. Uh you know policies about international relations
the way.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, not at all.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They seem pretty comfy.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
And it's not because they're suddenly cool and they're suddenly
right on this issue. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And it's like I can look past all these super
progressive policies and I still back her. It's like, no,
it's like you know, comparative. Yeah, this feels yeah, this
feels are down the middle enough for me?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Sure, yeah, yeaheah. My overrated is the phrase sir, this
is a Wendy's because I was reminded over the weekend
that we could be saying sir. The question was is
this your handwriting based on the so I like a
good sir, this is a Wendy's. Although it's like it's
one of those things that you know, how the show
(17:27):
workaholics had like the board of like jokes he must
stop making yeah, like in They're They're for people who
don't know their writer's room, had like all the cliched
comedy jokes that they had been seeing in TV for years,
like he's standing right behind me, isn't he?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You know all that shit. They had a board like
saying barring all of those, sir, this is a Wendy's.
Comes up a lot in conversations, but the greatest example
of that actually exists. It's not a hypothetical. It's not
somebody saying something wild at a Wendy's. It is Donald Sterling's
deposition from the year two thousand and three. If you
(18:09):
haven't seen it, I don't know. Is it like too
offensive to read this shit out? Is it too unpleasant?
I'll just I'll skip through it. But okay, answer, Well,
I fool around sometimes I do. When a girl seduces
me and tells me all these hot stories and dirty things,
(18:30):
and tells me how much she wants to suck on me,
and takes my shoes off and licks my feet and
touches me when I'm in a limousine. She takes all
of her clothes. The limo driver said, what is going on?
And she started sucking me on the way to mister
Kun's house. And I thank her. I thank her for
making me feel good. A question, sir. The question was,
(18:52):
is this your handwriting? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Oh man, Donald Sterling, disgraced former owner of the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, yeah, complete human piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
And one of the great racist NBA owners.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, billionaire, abusive, like everything about him was racist. The
way he made his money was racist, his beliefs, what
he said in private, what he said in public during it,
he ran the Clippers, but that this was an actual
you know, yeah, very Trumpian.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Very The question was is this your handwriting?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
This was circulating again over the weekend, and I've been
trying to like double check that it's real because it's
so perfect and I haven't found anybody debunking it anywhere.
And it is written in the deposition style, so that's
good enough for me, right right, But it's from two
(19:52):
thousand and three, and yeah, just you can now you
can now say, sir. The question was, is this your handwriting?
If you're looking for a cliche to replace, sir, this
is a Wendy's exactly all right, let's take a quick
break and we'll be right back to get into some news.
(20:20):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
So Trump posted that he hates Taylor Swift, and then
not long after that, there was another assassination attempt, another
planned attempt on his life. I don't I still don't
know the details. Like we're shots fired at him. No,
it sounds like they shot at him.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
He fled.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
They shot at the attempted assassin. Yeah, he fled.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
They he hopped in a car. They caught him like
a couple mile, like thirty miles away or something up
the highway thirty one. Yeah, something I think so, I mean,
because the whole thing was that when he led, someone
noticed him come out of the bushes and like take
off in a car and they're like, that's weird, and
took a photo of the car and the license plates.
And that's how the cops were able to like even
(21:10):
find him. The sheriff down there said like, if that
hadn't happened, they're not sure they would have found this guy.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Wow, which was troubling. It's kind of wild. Like they
just were doing a sweep of the golf hole Donald
Trump was about to play and noticed the barrel of
a long gun poking out of the out of the bushes. Yeah,
that's why we don't have something more serious that we're
talking about today.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, which is again, this is what how many days
has it even been since what July thirteenth? Like two months.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Basically, I think, yeah, a little over two months. Yeah,
so the last assassination.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This is uh yeah, yeah, very Yeah, we are living
in a wild, wild time right now. But yeah, I mean, like,
you know, as it stands there, there's still the guy.
I think the guy just had made his first appearance
in court and they said he was very like cordial
with the judge. So I don't I mean, I don't
know what that means about anything. Everyone's looking for a motive.
(22:12):
It's uh, we're still they're still there's still appiling on
the evidence. The one thing that seemed clear was that
he did say that seemed to indicate that he voted
for Trump in twenty sixteen, vote.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
For twenty sixteen, and seems to be like one of
these Republicans who's like the soul of our party was
lost by Trump, you know, right, sullying the good name
of the Republican Party. But yeah, I don't know, man.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I mean, and you're already seeing all the people coming out.
They're like Trump. It's like they make they talk about
me so bad, you know, Yeah, they say I'm a
threat to democracy. And then this stuff happens and Jody
Foster won an Emmy that day. Does Jody Foster have
to do something? If you remember Joe, people like to
(23:01):
impress Jody Foster with ship like this. I mean I
like to impress Jody Foster, but not like this, not
like this, Ryan Rauth, Ryan that sucks up your assassin
Creid is being named Ryan?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Doesn't it kind of feel weird?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You know there's good Ryan's out there, you know, not
all Ryan's.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
But no, not all Ryan's.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But right, like, I'm not saying anything against Ryan's other
than that it's a name that doesn't feel like it
like menacing.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah. Well yeah, assassins usually have like Lee Howvey Rillo,
you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, we got to
give us something that sounds like it was like carved
in stone, right Ryan?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Right? Who is the one who was trying to impress
Jody Host.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, John Hinkley, Yeah right, they I mean, think about
the fucked up middle name. Hinckley and Ryan Rauth must
have that. They're not even putting the middle name in
there describing them because like they stick a middle name. Well,
they love to stick a middle name whenever somebody does
the assassination. Like Lee Harvey Oswald was just Lee Oswald.
(24:10):
But then they were like, how do we make this
sound more like it belongs in a history book. Uh,
well we'll drop We'll drop that middle name in there. Yeah,
we'll see and I'll see it that comes out. I
think I saw Ryan Routh's middle name bandied about yesterday,
but it's just like not catching on. I don't know why.
Maybe it's like you have to you it's the like
(24:33):
attempt that makes it.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I mean, like aren't we just like past like the
three name, like the three name heart Throb Era, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Like you know how like there was like Jonathan Taylor Thomas,
you know what I mean, Like people had like the
three name like tight teen Tiger beat heart Throb, Chad
Michael Murray. You know what I mean? That was like
the way that was sort of the naming convention. Now
people are just two names.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
So you're blaming Jonathan Taylor Thomas for the fall of
the Three in a Three names absolutely JTT thing. We
can't take these.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Jonathan Taylor Thomas to what has happened the last two months,
And it's a new podcast I'm working on that Jack
refuses to engage in, but I'm telling him this thing
could blow the whole fucking lit off the JTT files. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, it's just there's some interesting theories in there that
I haven't been able to source myself.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, you know, like I said, you gotta trust me
and then verify once the show comes out.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, a lot of people were at first because the
timing was strange because he literally tweeted, I hate Taylor
Swift exclamation point, all caps, and then hours later we
were hearing that there was another assassination attempt. People are like, okay,
definitely a Swift e. We don't And interestingly, as people
(25:54):
are looking into Ryan Ralth's history, nobody's talking about how
many streams of you know, Taylor's version albums right in there.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But sure he didn't donate to Act Blue, you know,
so it really hard and I think the guy went
to Ukraine too.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
He really said he was willing to fight for Ukraine,
and I do think, yeah, he might, he might have
gone over there, so big Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Guy, Well you know there there there there, there could
be something there. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
And Donald Trump, you know you just there's something about
you at the moment that is inspiring a lot of chaos.
And I think, I wonder now what this is going
to do to him, because like first it was like
an outdoor rally. Now like golf. He loves to golf.
I don't know if like it's affecting him that much,
but he was like very quick to be like thank
you to the decret service. But like, damn, I feel
(26:47):
like that was like his one happy place. I wonder
if he is now like again, I don't even I'll
play virtual golf now, but probably not.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
No, no, nothing will keep him from his golf. Yeah,
it's very like cartoon like dipshit assassination ATTEPT. The guy
just like a gun barrel poking out of some bushes. Yeah,
very I don't know, I feel like something you would
see in a Looney Tunes cartoon.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah right, right right. Yeah, it's a little unsettling. How again,
just like the kinds of people that have like emerged
to like make these attempts on his life are just
they're like everyone's like there. His social media posts are
like chameleon like, like someone described to not understand where
this person was coming from. The Other thing is he
(27:35):
shouldn't have been in possession of a gun. So there's
a whole thing of like how did he get an
AK style rifle? Like who sold it to him? That's yeah,
you should should not have had it. But again, this
isn't about it's not gonna be about gun control. It's
probably gonna be about both parties being like he's not
my Guy's not my guy.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, I would say Russia, you know aka, but the
you know they You wouldn't think that Russia would be
wanting to target this guy.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
But hey, when you when you can't legally own a firearm,
beggars can't be choosers. So he just had to get with,
you know whatever someone would sell them. But yeah, it's
a I'm sure this is an ongoing, evolving story. But
the bat takes from the right.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I mean, so Trump came through was like I am
safe and well, nothing will slow me down, especially not
after you donate to me, like he turned it into
a donation opportunity like it was straight away and Elon
Musk meanwhile, I think, topped him by tweeting that nobody's
even trying to assassinate Biden Kamala, which, like the no fair,
(28:35):
nobody's even trying to assassinate me approach is exactly like
how my children would respond if someone tried to assassinate it.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
How come it's not even fair? Why is ever trying
to try.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
And get me? Yeah, exactly, it's.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Like, yeah, when you're playing tag or something and like
somehow like the whole group, like it's like multiple people.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Come on, some fair, you're ganging up on me. And
he later deleted that, Oh, which is wild because this
is a man who you know he has he has
a bad and stubborn, strong and wrong sense of humor.
And uh later deleted it, claiming it was just a
(29:19):
joke that nobody got his real friends who thought it
was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Well, one lesson I've learned is that just because I
say something to a group and they laugh, doesn't mean
it's going to be all that hilarious. As a post
on X, turns out that jokes are way less funny
if people don't know the context and the delivery is
plain text. He actually said that, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh
my god, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
That's amazing. I wonder if he'll ever like make the
connection that the people who are laughing around him are
just like nervously laughing because those are hot person to
ever live. Yeah, you are surrounded by hostages.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
You're Tony Soprano. You should be wondering if all those
laughs are sincere all the time you want, they're not.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Andrew T was pointing out while you were out that
it would be so so easy for him to just
hire a writer's room, like the many of the best
comedy writers in Hollywood are out of it now. He
could just pay people to make him look funny. But
he stubbornly again, strong and wrong with a sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It's got to be.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
It's gotta be, baby, gotta be fresh. Talking a lot
of workaholics today. But meanwhile, fear not because, as you're
pointing out, we don't know all the details right now.
The facts are emerging on the ground, and you know,
the story is shifting as we speak. It might be
different by the time you hear this. I do just
want to alleviate any concern that people had that like,
(30:44):
we weren't going to get to the bottle of this
because Ron DeSantis has pledged that Florida will conduct its
own investigation into the attempted shooting.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Oh not that FBI. Yeah no, no, no, that we're
doing our own. Actually, we're doing the floor We're doing
this shit Florida style. Incidentally, in twenty twenty two, eighty
two percent of violent crimes in Florida were quote not solved.
So that's twenty percentage points worse than the national average, which, Jesus,
(31:15):
the national average is shockingly hot. He's like sixty percent,
I mean, sixty.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Two percent of violent crimes go unsolved. Like why do
we even how? What is the argument that the.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Numbers the numbers are are telling a different story, that
this form of law enforcement is not effective. But hey, yeah,
but no we need more money.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, we need to be foresting to see more resources.
It's interesting to see what Florida's investigation finds. So now
it was a totally different guy. Is actually Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, it's actually Kevin Hart, Like what why he's not
even like political?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, I don't like them.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I don't like that guy.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and
we'll talk about some other politically motivated violence. Will be
right back and we're back. And over the weekend, the
(32:20):
city of Springfield, Ohio, which was in the news following
the debate after Trump claimed that they're stealing the dogs,
they're stealing the.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Cats, they're eating them.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So bomb threats have continued to plague Springfield, Ohio since
that happened. Hospitals have been sent into lockdown, multiple days
of school evacuations, thanks entirely to the Republican's alf coded
racist conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
All right, this show is hosted by two men over
the age of forty.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
That's right, And you know remember his favorite treatwood cats,
saying eight cats and dogs, bro. But I mean Haitian
immigrants are unsurprisingly afraid to leave their houses after being
targeted by vandals, and just you know, I'm sure we're
already afraid to leave their houses after that debate, you know, right,
(33:16):
absolutely just turned into like monsters in all of this
because of a fucking Facebook post that was nonsense.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Again, we talked about this. I think maybe the day
you were out, or I think it is probably the
day before I had to be out, But just about
how this again, there's no evidence of this. They're like,
the cops are like, we've never even had a call
about anything remotely like this. What are they talking about?
And the woman who's behind it is now just like
so sad because she it's like fourth hand information. Yes,
(33:51):
she said again, the claim about a missing cat didn't
even involve her neighbor's daughter's friend, which is what the fuck, dude,
This is like when I lied about like meeting Michael
Joy when I was like fifth grade, but rather an
acquaintance of a friend of the neighbor. And again she said,
it just exploded into something I didn't mean to happen.
And this is the funny thing. This woman is now
(34:13):
like posts to like after being interviewed, like yo, what
the fuck, Like, what's going on here? She wanted to say,
look the original poster of this. She described herself as
a Democrat that supports Trump, and then she said, quote,
I'm not a racist, she said, through heavy emotion. This
is I think her talking to NBC News, adding that
her daughter is half black and she herself is mixed
race and a member of the LGBTQ community. Everybody seems
(34:35):
to be turning it into that and that was not
my intent. Lee said, this is the original poster of
that Facebook thing that she pulled her daughter out of
school and is now worried about her safety with so
much attention on her family. Please get the fuck out
of here. Okay, I like, you're like, I honestly I
didn't care about this safety of these Haitian people. But
(34:58):
now my family somehow getting unwanted attention, and now I
am sorry. And I did not mean that my daughter
is half black.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yes, and again the sourcing on the information that was
like cartoonishly my daughter's friends neighbor, you know, or sorry,
my neighbor's daughter's friend. She was like, it actually was
not that. It was an acquaintance of a friend. So
it's like even less.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
It just sounds like total It's like fuck, man, I talked.
They're like, well, who is this person? I don't know. Look,
I made it up. I'm racist. I'm sorry, I'm backwards.
I have a lot of really backwards beliefs. But yeah,
this is and the way that the Republican.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Is voting for Trump. Yeah, it's wild. They I think
when you were out we were covering the way the
New York Times covered the debate, and they went and
interviewed a undecided voter.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Oh another one.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah, well they watched the debate with them, bought snacks
for the undecided voters. So the undecided voters are being
rewarded for being undecided, quote unquote, and they're like, I
really worry about you know, women's rights and like our
right to control our body. But Trump really on immigration,
(36:28):
and it was like, and She's like, and that's not
a thing that bothers me or affects my life in
any way, but the fact that he says it is
what really like matters to me. So it's like, it's
just that he says he says racism, is the fact
that he.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Knows how to be racist towards people who are not
from America. Yes, rather who aren't white. Sorry, Yeah, what
am I saying? Yeah, there's only yeah, so that's what
I like. Yeah, So I am decided about that.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Jd Vance, who was the first person to repeat this
story and kind of elevate it, went on CNN on
Sunday for an interview with Dana Bash, where he strenuously
argued that the bomb threats have nothing to do with
anything he did. When she was like, So what do
(37:19):
you think when there's like bomb threats and schools being
closed because of the cats and dogs thing, why not
actually be constructive and helping to better integrate these Haitian
immigrants who are legally here into the community. And he
he thought that was disgusting, actually thought that was he
(37:40):
you think I did what Wait, what you're saying? What
I find violence disgusting and that you said that is
really disgusting because hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
What he said, quote, there is nothing that I have
said that has led to threats against these hospitals. These hospitals,
the bomb threats and so forth, it's disgusting. The violence
is disgusting. We condemn it. And then Dana Bash is like, Senator,
this happened after you and President Trump on the debate
stage said that cats and dogs were being eaten. And
then he just like completely side steps it. Pivots scared
(38:16):
nine something due dang Ya and then.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
They got straight up Yeah. Then he just straight up
admitted that they will create stories to further this is wild.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, You're like, I'm sorry, you'll you'll create what This
is him again now trying it's now sort of trying
to justify why he will he would even say such
filthy nonsense out loud.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
The American media totally ignored this stuff until Donald Trump
and I start talking about cat means.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
If I have to, if I just create stories so
that the American.
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people,
then that's what I'm gonna do, Dana, because you guys
are completely letting Kamala Harris coast.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
You had one interview with her.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
You talk about pushing back against me, Dana, you didn't
push back against the fact that she casts the deciding
vote on the Inflation Reduction Act, which is why a
lot of Americans can't afford food and housing.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
You just said that you're creating. Yeah, there you go
touts back on that. Oh, he's doing the thing where
he pretends he can't hear.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
So you just said that you're creating the story.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Is that, Danta?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Oh you're lying now. You just said that this is
a story that you created.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I'm sorry, I can't even hear you.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Not.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
We are creating, we are, Dana. It comes from first
hand accounts from like Dana.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It comes from lies that I'm making up in my
head to pretend like I'm hearing them from people. Okay,
are we clear on this?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
God? Oh my god, the god liberal media.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Is like, so, oh my dude, you actually have the
best last name for this job. Because you were just
bashing me right now. It's like fucking so unfair, dude,
Like why are you bashing other people? It's just because
I make shit up so wild to be like, I'm
if I have then to be like, I have to
create stories. Like so you're creating stories.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
So the the story that you just said you had
nothing to do with you, you created that. You just said,
yeh what you said that.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Then you're like, yeah, DJ academics and that Migos interview,
you're like, hmm, the what it looks like liptop bat
and Boosie, I'm sorry what my ear? My ear? He
did that I think last week or two weeks ago too,
where he got pressed about something he said and he
was like, sorry, I think my earpiece isn't working.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah. Yeah, he has a lot of trouble hearing what
people are asking him when convenient.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I can't imagine, yeah, what his marriage is like. If
his sort of response to accountability is to be like,
my senses have all began to shut down for some reason.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
I sorry, I can't hear you, babe.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Sorry, I'm sleeping, babe. Sorry, I'm sleeping.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
In the afternoon and you're driving.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Sorry, I'm sleeping, babe, can't. I don't even know what's
going on. Don't even know what's going on?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
All right, I do have some kind of startling news
disturbing for people like me. We're continue to be under attack.
Me and my fellow soup cous We mustn't stay sleeping
in our comfy beds much longer, because, mark my words,
they're coming for us. First, Jesse Waters says it's not
(41:13):
manly to like soup. Then my mother in law compliments
me for being a rare man who likes soup, and yeah,
I can read between the lines, am.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Now Campbell Soup is dropping the soup from their name. Man, Yeah,
most associated with soup is dropping the word from what
I guess they used to be called the Campbell Soup Company.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Oh wow, I think that's what it's technically called. Right
of their website is Wait, there's Campbell's Soup camp. First
of all, there's other funny, fucking, weird sort of Berenstain
Bears thing. I was like, was it called campbell Soup
Campbell's Soup? Like the ashes are always blending into each
other there, because there's the Campbell Soup Company, then there's
Campbell's Soup. So there's no aposts the company. If you
(42:10):
go to their actual company website, it's called Campbell Soup Company,
not Campbell's Possessive Campbell Soup Company. The label says Campbell's Possessive.
There's just a lot. Look, man, I'm always on my
toes ever since the fucking six point eight weeks thing,
so You'm just always like trying to make sure I
know I'm standing in Tara firma, you know what I
(42:30):
mean before Anyway.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
So anyway, you can read all about it in my
favorite book, Hot Chicken Water for the Soul, because that's
where this is headed. They're racing soup.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
They're racing an outreage. Yep.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Honestly, it's kind of weird that they still had soup
in their name. Like I feel like they just pivot
because you know, it's kind of it is a little weird.
What do you mean, like just to be called Campbell's Soup. Yeah, Like,
I don't know, did their branding team, just like wake
up from the late eighteen hundreds. I feel like they
should be selling vape juice by now, Like, why are
(43:07):
they just a soup company? What are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (43:10):
Yeah? They make what else? Yeah? Actually it's mostly do
they own a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
They do And the soup company was just throwing us
all off that.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
I think that's how they you know, that's how they
got in. But then they're also like, dude, do you
like fucking do you like cape cod chips?
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Okay, you like goldfish, you like snyders of handover pretzels,
you like v eight I.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Mean v it's basically soup, Like that's the secret nobody
wants to talk about. But it's just called soup you drink. Also,
all the other things that you mentioned great crumbled over soup.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
So yeah, that is true.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Yeah, they were sticking to it. I think they need
to for some reason. I really want the Campbell Company
to branch out into vape.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Just for whatever reason. I feel like, dude, I mean,
I guess this.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Would I cam, would it be tough? I need to
check with Jesse Waters if it would be tougher if
I was vaping my soup instead of eating it.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Probably he Hannity would definitely agree.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Well, that's the funny thing, Like the thing he objects to,
the pursing of the lips and the like holding a
delicate object in your hand and bringing it to your mouth.
That that this is what Jesse Waters objects to about.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
You've seen it.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
You've seen it, and so yeah, your buddy Tuger Carlson
and h fucking Hannity vape Like the second the camera
cuts away from there.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
And that's a bit of lip persing on a cylindrical object. Well, look,
whatever it is, what it is. I think Campbell's could
pivot because we already trust them with things that we ingest.
So I'm like, well, Campbell's isn't gonna make like a
shitty vape juice. I've been trusting them for years. So yeah,
I do want cream of mushroom soup vape juice.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah is Brian editor said, soup flavored vapes. Bro take
me to Cloud City, Lando Calrissian.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Hell yeah, dude, hopp my best bin fucking twin Speeder.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
I do feel like that would be kind of good, uh,
you know, in the way that they can like make
vapes taste like anything. Why not a little chicken soup?
Speaker 1 (45:20):
All right? Uh? RFK is back, He's got bro He's
got an announcement. Oh, I don't, haven't. I just want
to play this because he had a he had a
camp fucking Trump campaign event in Glendale, Arizona, I think
somewhere in Arizona with Tulci Gabbard, you know, because he's
out there, he's Team Trump now and he just again
(45:43):
he he has he did the thing that he's always
good at, which is like finding a way to make
like like make himself the central figure about a larger
point and also just in a side that isn't quite
relevant anyway. This is just funny. This is a funny
thing to hear. And I'm just gonna play it no
context because I just think it's really funny that he's
doing this on stage at a campaign of it. This
(46:03):
is RFK with an important announcement. Listen up, I'm going
to tell you something that nobody knows. Uh. Oh, this
week I receive it.
Speaker 3 (46:13):
Right after I endorsed President Trump, I received a letter
from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were
investigating me for collecting a whale speciman twenty years ago. Wow,
it's fifteen years past the statue of limitation. But they're
(46:36):
opening an investigation.
Speaker 1 (46:39):
And this is when he goes there. He goes, he
starts rambling a little more, and then he's like, they're
weaponizing the government. Man. Wow, I'm just sawing off whaleheads
on my own, a whalehead enthusiast, and now I have
federal agencies looking into shit.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Huh yeahed like that is a thing that hit for
collecting a whale specimen. But they're coming out after me
for everything. Dude, not not having had my license plate
registration renewed on time, collecting a whale specimen?
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (47:16):
They're weaponizing the government? Okay, yeah, sorry, dude, you pulled
You heard about a fucking way a beached whale that
like a fucking carcass that washed ashore, and you say, kids,
get in the van and get the power tools and
you go to pull up to saw its head off
and then take it home. While your daughter kick Kennedy
(47:37):
was talking about how the whale juice was getting everywhere.
That could be it. Wow, that could be an interesting
vape flavor. Whale juice.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
Whale juice.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Yeah, Campbell's soup, think about it. That's a good pivot
right now. Timely, timely, But yeah, the whale. So I
guess he then I guess he said he responded to
the letter where he, according this NBC News report, baselessly
linked the National Marine Fishery Service with deaths and calling
for the agency to investigate that. So he's like, boom, maybe.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
You just cut its head off and then made my
daughter drink its blubber and rotting carcass juice.
Speaker 3 (48:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Man, he really seemed to think that that was going
to go in a different way because he brought it
up and everybody laughed because it reminded them about the
wild ass story about him sawing off whales sead and
put it on top of his van. Yeah. I feel
like he's got that energy of somebody who just needs
to be the center of attention at all times because
(48:36):
of debilitating narcissism, and so just can't stop himself from
dropping in an anecdote that is going to overshadow literally
any other possible thing that anybody just said.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
Look what they're doing in the President Trump with their
weaponized DJ We hear them trot out that line all
the time, but he had to be like, you know, guys,
I saw a whale's head off, like twenty years ago,
and now they're like, that's bad, you know what I mean.
And now you're now thinking about the fact that they're
like this weird, oh anti vaxer guy who likes a
(49:10):
sawft whalehead. That's in the front of mind. You sawt
a whaleshead. I mean, he said, collected a specimen rather
than the main point. But yeah, he's well done, well.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Done collecting our whales specimen. All right. The Surgeon General
is warning about the difficulties of parenting, calling it a
public health danger. He's issuing a new advisory, the likes
of which we have seen for like smoking and air
pollution in the past, But this one is a public
(49:40):
statement that calls the American people's attention to an urgent
public health issue and provides recommendations for how it should
be addressed. And that is parenting.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yeah, and caregivers, family the whole thing. It said there
is a critical link between parental mental health and children's
long term well being, and the urgent need to better
support parents, caregivers and families. They talk about all the
stressors you know that is involved in raising kids. Financial strain, economics, instability, poverty,
time demands, children's health, children's safety, parental isolation and loneliness,
(50:12):
technology and that social media, cultural pressures, and children's futures.
And there's a lot like you know, it says how
as you know if you're an employer or a researcher,
a community organizer, a family friend or parent and caregiver,
like how to you know sort of things you can
think about what to do. And there are some things
where it's like maybe ask a parent to help out,
(50:33):
you know, like one of your parents to help you
parent kind of thing, like that's not an option available
to a lot of people. And well, I do think
this is obviously like a super serious and very real thing.
Like the I do appreciate that there is one section
that says for policy makers, and it's sort of basically
being like, yeah, man, like create laws and programs that
(50:54):
actually you know, are able to address the needs here,
like right childcare and like all these protecting our communities, all.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
This stuff function social safety.
Speaker 1 (51:05):
And I don't know if that will actually inspire any change,
but this is truly like a and I think these
tips are good like it's important to think about, like
you do need to give yourself time off, like you
it is possible to burn out or find ways to
relieve your stress. But this is truly like a top
down thing. This isn't a bottom up situation. Like the
policies are the real things that are going to change
(51:27):
all those things. When you're pointing out stressors like their
financial strain, economic instability, you look at how much childcare
costs and things like that, how much healthcare costs. Guess what, policymakers,
you could completely wipe those stressors off the board with
the right policies. So I mean, it's like a very
real issue, and I just like it's like how I
(51:47):
was just sort of like looking at the Kamala Harris
sort of campaign website, I'm like, Okay, what are you
doing here for affordable childcare? And it's so vague. Just
as Vice President Harris has cast the deciding vote on
the American Rescue Plan, which made historic investments in the
care economy, she will fight to lower care costs for
American families, like propose something. Yeah, for the love of God,
(52:07):
like you're and there was people were showing how some
polls began to tighten in other areas because it felt
like the honeymoon phase brat summer is over and now
we're in freaky fall are about to be and we're
still kind of like she's done a good job of
really not trying to get into, like waging into these
like policy issues and just kind of being like, hey man,
(52:29):
it's not Biden, I'm against Trump. That's great, but these
are still very much things that people are experiencing and
would love to hear real tangible kind of solutions to
Now whether or not there's follow through its a completely other,
you know, completely separate question, But as the Surgeon General
points out, this is very real and this needs urgent action,
and most of that action really should be coming from policymakers.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
Yeah, the links I mentioned parents are experiencing new stressors
on top of the already daunting tasks of protecting their
children from harm, managing finances, and navigating the uncertainties teenagers
face through adolescence. The new stressors seems to be linking
off to like studies into phones and social media use.
(53:12):
But it's probably worth mentioning that it's become increasingly difficult
to raise a child and you know, the costs have
gone way up and people's income has been frozen for yeah, decades.
Speaker 1 (53:27):
And you have people having to take on multiple jobs
just to do the thing which is to provide for
their children.
Speaker 2 (53:34):
There's your problem and there's your problem.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yeah this h I mean again, people, look everybody who's
grown up in America. You just ask your grandparent, what
are the oldest family member in your family that's living,
what they did for money, and how many kids, what
kind of family they were able to raise on that,
and how what the cost of living was then? And
do you realize that at one point it was possible
to do these things but we just live in such
(53:58):
a you know updocracy now that yeah, yeah, there's really
all the pressures have fallen on people. And like the
thing that sucks is like when it says like, oh, well,
how can we take action, When it says like for
family and friends of like people who might be in
the situation, says reach out and offer practical support with
householder everyday test, that is huge. That is huge. That
is helpful. But like for policymakers, you see the things
(54:20):
that they're talking about, well, invest in social infrastructure at
the local level to bring parents and caregivers together, address
economic and social barriers that contribute to the disproportionate impact
of mental health conditions for certain parents and caregivers. Those
are the real Like, yeah, obviously the community one to
one help is huge, but again we still play in
(54:41):
the sandbox with these rules that policymakers create. So unless
we can actually change that, that's also where it's an
uphill battle. So you know, somebody take this seriously. Yeah,
all right, those are some of the stories that are
trending on this Monday morning, September sixteenth.
Speaker 2 (54:57):
We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, get your flu shots,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow
