Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet. Welcome to this episode of Electron to
Anxiety d anxeight Diddy Diddy, Excite bike, Excite Diddy. Oh
Anxiety Anxiety did that one? Courtesy of Paul Garaventa and
uh the Anxiety d button, the little tag that courtesy
(00:25):
of Myles Gray. Oh this guy, Hey, don't drag me
into this. It's one of my favorite underrated characters, is
uh the Neil Diamond. Yeah, Neil Diamond as late night
talk show hosts by Will Ferrell and just randomly flipping out, Hey,
(00:46):
leave me out of this, Neil, I will leave you
in Hey. So this is the episode where we just
quote SNL sketches.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Yep, just don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Don't know it is election day. We're asking the question,
how do you talk to a world that's going to
be completely different. We're recording this on Tuesday, November fifth,
standing at a cliff. They could send the world in
a bunch of different, completely unimaginable or you know, imaginable directions.
(01:20):
I am, of course, referring to the fact that we
don't yet know who People Magazine will name as their
Sexiest Man Alive on November twelfth, one week away we're
one week away. Take your time, Take your time, November twelfth,
Take your time. So we don't know there is early
information because they did like put it out to the
polls for people, so we do know who they think
(01:42):
is the sexiest podcast host. It's both Kelsey brothers together.
We rob back makes Bratt look sexiest. Was one of
the Jonas brothers. Okay, and they're like, we don't even
really know what that means. They got sexiest dog dag
sexy his first time dad, which I think was Robert Pattinson.
(02:03):
I'm sorry, Miles, sexiest talk show.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Hosts, and is that us?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, it's Kelly Rippa's co host, oh Man, Jen sexiest.
I didn't even get to mention Shamar Moore, the guy
from SWAT. So it's gonna be I think it's going
to be one of these people, one of the like
sexiest people from the sub list, And I don't know
which way to go, you know, like I've been looking
at the poll, I've been looking at historical trends. You've
(02:30):
got workaday hunks like Chris Evans in twenty twenty two,
Michael B. Jordan in twenty, David Beckham fifteen. You even
got your Hemsworth in fourteen last year, they just like
went complete Yeah, Patrick Arp, yeah aarp baby.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I like to say that to me somethings. Oh yo ar.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah yeah, I don't know, so maybe they like that's
the question that's on everybody's mind is like, yeah, did
they do that because they recognized, Okay, the only people
who still buy magazines and go grocery shopping in physical
grocery store spaces already elderly.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So people, Hey, a lot of Grey's Anatomy fans who
are not elders.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, that's fair, and that's fair, but he's been off
Gray's Anatomy for.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
A while for a long time. But that's how you look.
It's like that's how you lay the foundations, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Like George bush too, he was George Bush one's son.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, you know, it was wild because it was right
before that movie Thanksgiving came out, which was a Patrick
Dempsey joint but very like, very much a B movie.
Did not feel like that it would be like a
movie that would be able to like buy a spot
at the top of people Sexiest Man. Anyways, we're trying
to figure out what that is and obviously there's the
(03:48):
matter of the election that a lot of people. It's
even closer at hand, which is the Grammy gnoms are
being announced on November eighth. Yep, that so soon is election.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh fuck the election?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah yeah, sorry, I forgot about the election, but oh
I got to Oh shit. I love that they're dropping
them three days, like two days after we find out
who won the election. Yeah, they're like, yeah, no, this
seems like the right time to give our Grammy nominations
for a show that isn't until February second, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Really good.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's that's what we call great timing, really working the
news cycles. So you're just catching it at the crest
of the biggest fucking news item of the every four years. Then, well,
I guess we'll find out if Kendrick Lamar gets nominated
for not like Us.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, they'll probably like their their ability to get things
wrong is always astounding. So I bet they give it
to Drake somehow, you.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Know, they give it for Drake. Yeah. Family Matters and
you're like.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Family Matters was really a good record, Shops, Push Ups
was solid. Okay, we've got all right. So the election
and as we record this, the election is happening, Miles
wearing his I voted sticker. I've got two I voted
stickers on because I voted twice.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I ended up I'll get them out, bro.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah. I ended up voting for both of them because
I just like couldn't couldn't make I stayed undecided to
the end and just gave them both my vote. Ye.
So you know, if that's illegal, then then you put me.
But what is there to talk about. We've got cool
I voted stickers in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, those are cool.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I mean, like the actual news around the election is
apparently there were.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Some bomb threats called Georgia.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, yeah, and some are attributing that to foreign powers.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Apparently there's a bomb threat called in and they said
that they were already able to say it came from Russia. Again,
this is the election official who's a Republican was like
it was Russia, so in case you were like the
Democrats and their Russia conspiracy theories. And then there was
another one where it was like a poll worker in
(06:07):
Georgia who like did a whole thing where he was
like posing as a voter, who was intimidated by him
and was like he held me back from voting, and
so I'm going to so just like all sorts of
fuckery kicking off, But it does seem to be fairly isolated.
Right now. We had that Philadelphia, the Philadelphia was it
the mayor or the.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Ag Larry Krasner, heynna, if you're gonna do fo half
around and find out? Yeah, he said, if you think
it's time for some militia nonsense, Yeah, around and find out?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, but yeah, we will see a lot of people
are pointing to huge turnout, especially in college campuses. But
that makes sense because the pandemic had most people voting
from home.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, the turnout looks explosive, which used.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
To be definitely good thing for Democrats and now of late,
could be a good thing for Trump. We don't know.
And that's what's fun about this, and that's where we
like to be, is just in this moment of anxiety
and not knowing and perpetually refreshing a Twitter feed that's
never going to tell us anything. Now, this is a
time capsule from a moment where time passes extremely slowly.
(07:19):
I don't know if you can hear it, but you
can hear it. Ticket The tick of the clock is
very slow. Right now, let's talk about Tucker Carlson again.
We talked yesterday about.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Oh shit, dude, the Home Depot guy died. Damn bro
the billionaire Home Depot co founder die.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Kenneth Lang gone, the other one.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, Bernie Marcus.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, I wasn't familiar with him. I knew Kenneth Lang Gone.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
But yeah he's on speed.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh yeah, Kenny's my guy. Tuger Carlson, so obviously we
talked on yesterday's episode about his testimony in a Christian
documentary that he was physically attacked by a demon and
while sleeping next to his wife and four dogs. But
it doesn't make it out for.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Some weird shit I saw.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I saw a video of a guy who snuck out
to murder someone while his wife was sleeping, then got
back in bed like as if he just went to
go get like something at the store. So I do
think that it's possible that he might he went out
in the woods and did some woe shit.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, Brian the editor makes a good point that it's
probably actually a demon because as we know, there's no
condition that affects people while sleeping that has them confusing
things with demons. No, never heard of that, sleep paralysis, demon,
Those are three words that have never been put together anyways,
(08:41):
he Tucker Carlson. In addition, you know, I remember there
being a moment where people are like, he's going to
be the secular version of Trump, and like, you know,
put some things together that like Trump wasn't able to
economic populism. He also hopped on the newly released Steve
Bannon podcast the day before the election yesterday and claimed
(09:03):
that we're currently getting more hurricanes not because of climate change,
but because of abortion.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm sure I'll be attacked for saying this, but I
really believe it. You can't participate in human sacrifice without consequences.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, ask the Mayans. I guess hear it from his
terrible weird face.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You're making the case that, you know, sometimes we need
to have an abortion. Okay. If you're making the case
that abortion is an affirmative good, you are evil. You're
practicing child sacrifice, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I can't even hear any more of that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Also claim nuclear weapons you're created by demons.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah yeah, claiming it's a human right, you're evil, that
dude have been sacrificed, and that's a great closing argument
to turn out the evangelicals for Donald Trump. She'd be like,
we're going to stop the hurricanes the second we stop
the effing human sacrifices, and by that we got to
get trunk in there.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That's right. Yeah, yeah, but they aren't weird in a
in an election where like, uh, very effective piece of
messaging was like calling them weird. They really closed on
a very weird note. I don't know why the Harris
campaign didn't stick with that, but anyways, maybe because they
(10:20):
were like, they're absolutely nailing that messaging for us.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But yeah, like, oh cool, thanks for finishing that lob.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll check in with some other election day shenanigans. We'll
be right back, and we're back. And Rudy Giuliani, mister
(10:46):
shenanigans himself, showed up to a poll in a car
he's supposed to be turning over two poll workers. He
showed up to vote. Yeah, but yeah, in a car that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
He's like, oh, this one I'm supposed to give y'all to,
you know, make amends.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
For the kind of it's like one of those old
Mercedes Benz like.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, it's like kind of one of those ones where
it's not like classic enough where.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You're like, oh, shity's classic.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, yeah, it kind of looks like, yo, I was
doing great in eighty three. Yeah, exactly what that car
says to me.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And look, no shade. But I don't fucking I don't
funk all about vintage cars. So sure, sure his outfit
was great, got marriage.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Out American American flagged t he He did say just
the other day that he may run for mayor of
New York City again, which good I don't know, Yeah,
good luck, and also like maybe maybe he'd win. But yeah,
the car is part of a long list of property
that he's supposed to turnover to pay the settlement, which
(11:49):
he's been accused of hiding.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Right right, because they said I think he also I
don't know if he gave up.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I think he's supposed to give like a World Series
ring or two up also and an apartment and he's like, man,
I don't but then I don't have anything, and there's
stuff fucking lying you fucking fuck face.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
How am I supposed to live without my world theories
ringing people won't know New York.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's all I say, all the fucking time.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
The other thing, though, with people pulling up at the
polls Donald Trump and uh again the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Is doing its thing.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Uh they say, is that Melania she's wearing sunglasses the
whole time. I would love nothing more than for that
to be the case. But I'm I don't think this
is she definitely we know.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
If there was a double by this.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Point, Yeah, at this point, we would know. She definitely
just has. I think it's because she wears such a
varying size, like wild variation on the size of sunglasses
that she wears indoors, right, So a lot of her face,
like different parts of her face and different percentages of
her face are covered up, and so it becomes unclear
(12:57):
we're getting a different look every time. And also so
she only shows up like once a month, so she
might just be looking a little different.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Why she works such big glasses if that's not.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Fucking milan, It's like, bro, she could be hung over
as fuck. Who knows, she's like you, I'm not sharing
my eyes with all y'all. I'm like Aliyah, you know
what I mean? I have a secret of a mystery.
I'm married to a piece of shit that I won't leave.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I will say, this is the one time that I've
been like, she does look very different. I know it's
maybe I just need something.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
And your freaky lib flat flags fly today. You know
as you go, oh, it's fake. It's a fake Malanya,
look at that. He can't afford it. But we've got
Brooklyn Dad on.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
My god, Brooklyn Dad so defiant.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Hey, you know what else? Speaking of possible reasons, she
might be going polls with sunglasses on my mouth? Weed?
You heard about this? Man?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think she's fucking smoking that loud dude.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I think she's smoking that candy buff. So the Washington
Post can I Washington Post report of the cannabis workers
are finding that a lot of customers are buying weed
to help them cope with the election. Yo.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I went to the shop on Sunday and it I've
I have.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I thought something was happening.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You're like, are they voting here? Yeah? This is a station?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And I said, yo, what's up?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Like I usually go in like the mornings, and I
went like in the later afternoon, and the dude was like.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He's like, I don't know what the fuck is going on,
and I'm like, oh this, and it looks like a
lot of people who aren't normally like.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Doabbling like like growth I read last yeah exactly, just
being like and is a is A is a fifty
milligram edible good to just completely erase half of a day?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Okay, Yeah, I'll take seven of those.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, good luck to everybody who is coping. However they're coping,
This would be uh because the one way to make
time pass even slow for myself today would be getting
a little bit too high.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, just being like the TV is looking at me,
Steve Karnak, he hates me.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So one dispensary created a like fake website to promote
election themed pre rolls dubbed pot Litico Potolytico, and then
another dispensary created a string called potus instead of pot
dash Us, specifically to boost your mood and ease election anxiety. Hey, man,
(15:35):
I hope they don't smoke too much of that wacky
Tobacci and vote Trump into the White House again the
way that you know, because that's that's what you gotta
be doing, man.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's what happened on the weed.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
You completely lose track of everything. You're you're now You're yeah, man,
you know how look dude, my dad, man, he told
me all about this stuff. It's dangerous, man, my dad
don't believe me. Ask my mom.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I was I was listening to I think it was
CACRW today, one of the local NPR stations in Los Angeles,
and they were interviewing people at the poll, and it
was just I haven't listened to MPR in maybe a year,
but I do every time there's like some late breaking,
(16:20):
updating news, and they were interviewing people going to the
poll coming out, and they interviewed like multiple people who
are like, I'm voting for Trump because illegal immigrants are
destroying the economy and then they're just they don't say,
they don't correct it, they don't even they don't even
comment on it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
But if I do that, then I look like I'm
against Trump.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Or you're just being objective about the state whatever. Yeah, bucket,
you're afraid to push back on someone just being horribly
and weird.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But yeah, if you guys are listening to this, looking
back at America's slide into fascism over the past six hours,
I feel like that's going to be one of the
issues that looks the weirdest is just the fact that
the media felt the need to always legitimize.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, right, Haitians are using lasers on the hurricanes, and
then that that's causing the pet storms.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And you're like, and that's a very good point, sir,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Great, great point, and thank you. And the fact that
you're undecided, we got we respect it.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I'm gonna I'm gonna do it right at the line
of scrimmage.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We don't know if I'm going to scramble on this one,
but hey, that's what I like to do, keep it
to the last minute.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah. The New York Times did eventually release there did
I talk about this on the regular episode? They released
their seven decided voters who they eventually voted for, and
there were I was surprised. I thought. My theory of
the case was like, these are all Trump voters who
are just ashamed to say they're Trump voters, but like
(18:00):
three of them broke for Harris, one of them went
third party. One of the ones who broke for Harris, though,
I was like, God damn it, New York Times. He
actually made me think this was worth it because this
person was just like, so I wasn't looking into the
election at all this whole time. I finally looked into
it this weekend, and he apparently like tried to steal
(18:21):
the last election, like he like participated in fraud and
like ask people to find votes. So it's like that
idea of undecided voter is just somebody who refuses to
look into it. It was like, I have exactly one
day a year for politics every four years. Yeah, and
that's what you're gonna get from me.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I mean, that's I think that's part for the course.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Most people are just like I don't know, man, It's
it's always some version of the same hell no matter
who's the president.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But oh wow, I didn't even realize.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I mean there's you know, I'm sure there are people
even wondering if Joe Biden is still on the ticket.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, so I'm hoping a lot of people are like
checking in for the first time in four years, and
I'm like, whoa, whoa fucking lost his mind?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
What happened to Biden? Where's Biden on here?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Oh, he dropped out.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I will say, you know, we've talked about how we
feel like even if Harris wins were headed for some
shit and the there's an episode of it could happen
here over on Cool Zone where they talk about like
the constitutional like sheriffs, people like the MAGA sheriffs who
are claiming that they can you know, they're basically like
(19:31):
on that sovereign citizens shit and they're like, I can
report to whatever president I want to. And they're also
claimed that they can like deputize as many people as
they want, so basically like claim they'll claim the election
is stolen if Harris wins, they deputize like an entire
town worth of Trump voters and suddenly those people can
like use guns to legally enforce their will. Is a nightmare, Snail.
(19:56):
I don't know. I've had a bad feeling of like
where Trump, you know, election denialism could be headed this time,
and that was like, oh, that's a version of how
it could look. Yeah, I recommend checking out that episode.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
It's really it's gonna be like one of those things
where if the energy is there, like the requisite energy
is there and anger, it feels like as I don't know,
like it's just seeing Trump get less and less interested
and seeing people leave the rallies too. I don't know, man,
maybe this fucker wins. If not, Like, I don't know,
I'm fucking tired of the shit. Yeah, but there's also
(20:32):
of there's definitely many dedicated people that are going to
do whatever Trump says.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So let's just let's just put a pin in that one.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Let's put a pin in it, I think the Yeah.
So we have an evergreen episode going up tomorrow morning,
and we're gonna try and jump on either tonight or
tomorrow morning with the trending episode when we have a
result to talk about sometimes, so we will talk to
y'all in the not too distant future in a completely
(21:01):
different world. 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, and we will talk
to y'all tomorrow. Bite later,

Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, it's Kelly Rippa's co host, oh Man, Jen sexiest.
I didn't even get to mention Shamar Moore, the guy
from SWAT. So it's gonna be I think it's going
to be one of these people, one of the like
sexiest people from the sub list, And I don't know
which way to go, you know, like I've been looking
at the poll, I've been looking at historical trends. You've

the question that's on everybody's mind is like, yeah, did
they do that because they recognized, Okay, the only people
who still buy magazines and go grocery shopping in physical
grocery store spaces already elderly.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So people, Hey, a lot of Grey's Anatomy fans who
are not elders.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, that's fair, and that's fair, but he's been off
Gray's Anatomy for.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
A while for a long time. But that's how you look.
It's like that's how you lay the foundations, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Like George bush too, he was George Bush one's son.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, you know, it was wild because it was right
before that movie Thanksgiving came out, which was a Patrick
Dempsey joint but very like, very much a B movie.
Did not feel like that it would be like a
movie that would be able to like buy a spot
at the top of people Sexiest Man. Anyways, we're trying
to figure out what that is and obviously there's the
(03:48):
matter of the election that a lot of people. It's
even closer at hand, which is the Grammy gnoms are
being announced on November eighth. Yep, that so soon is election.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh fuck the election?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah yeah, sorry, I forgot about the election, but oh
I got to Oh shit. I love that they're dropping
them three days, like two days after we find out
who won the election. Yeah, they're like, yeah, no, this
seems like the right time to give our Grammy nominations
for a show that isn't until February second, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Really good.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's that's what we call great timing, really working the
news cycles. So you're just catching it at the crest
of the biggest fucking news item of the every four years. Then, well,
I guess we'll find out if Kendrick Lamar gets nominated
for not like Us.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, they'll probably like their their ability to get things
wrong is always astounding. So I bet they give it
to Drake somehow, you.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Know, they give it for Drake. Yeah. Family Matters and
you're like.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Family Matters was really a good record, Shops, Push Ups
was solid. Okay, we've got all right. So the election
and as we record this, the election is happening, Miles
wearing his I voted sticker. I've got two I voted
stickers on because I voted twice.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I ended up I'll get them out, bro.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah. I ended up voting for both of them because
I just like couldn't couldn't make I stayed undecided to
the end and just gave them both my vote. Ye.
So you know, if that's illegal, then then you put me.
But what is there to talk about. We've got cool
I voted stickers in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, those are cool.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I mean, like the actual news around the election is
apparently there were.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Some bomb threats called Georgia.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, yeah, and some are attributing that to foreign powers.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Apparently there's a bomb threat called in and they said
that they were already able to say it came from Russia. Again,
this is the election official who's a Republican was like
it was Russia, so in case you were like the
Democrats and their Russia conspiracy theories. And then there was
another one where it was like a poll worker in
(06:07):
Georgia who like did a whole thing where he was
like posing as a voter, who was intimidated by him
and was like he held me back from voting, and
so I'm going to so just like all sorts of
fuckery kicking off, But it does seem to be fairly isolated.
Right now. We had that Philadelphia, the Philadelphia was it
the mayor or the.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Ag Larry Krasner, heynna, if you're gonna do fo half
around and find out? Yeah, he said, if you think
it's time for some militia nonsense, Yeah, around and find out?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, but yeah, we will see a lot of people
are pointing to huge turnout, especially in college campuses. But
that makes sense because the pandemic had most people voting
from home.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I mean, the turnout looks explosive, which used.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
To be definitely good thing for Democrats and now of late,
could be a good thing for Trump. We don't know.
And that's what's fun about this, and that's where we
like to be, is just in this moment of anxiety
and not knowing and perpetually refreshing a Twitter feed that's
never going to tell us anything. Now, this is a
time capsule from a moment where time passes extremely slowly.
(07:19):
I don't know if you can hear it, but you
can hear it. Ticket The tick of the clock is
very slow. Right now, let's talk about Tucker Carlson again.
We talked yesterday about.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Oh shit, dude, the Home Depot guy died. Damn bro
the billionaire Home Depot co founder die.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Kenneth Lang gone, the other one.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, Bernie Marcus.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, I wasn't familiar with him. I knew Kenneth Lang Gone.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
But yeah he's on speed.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh yeah, Kenny's my guy. Tuger Carlson, so obviously we
talked on yesterday's episode about his testimony in a Christian
documentary that he was physically attacked by a demon and
while sleeping next to his wife and four dogs. But
it doesn't make it out for.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Some weird shit I saw.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I saw a video of a guy who snuck out
to murder someone while his wife was sleeping, then got
back in bed like as if he just went to
go get like something at the store. So I do
think that it's possible that he might he went out
in the woods and did some woe shit.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah, Brian the editor makes a good point that it's
probably actually a demon because as we know, there's no
condition that affects people while sleeping that has them confusing
things with demons. No, never heard of that, sleep paralysis, demon,
Those are three words that have never been put together anyways,
(08:41):
he Tucker Carlson. In addition, you know, I remember there
being a moment where people are like, he's going to
be the secular version of Trump, and like, you know,
put some things together that like Trump wasn't able to
economic populism. He also hopped on the newly released Steve
Bannon podcast the day before the election yesterday and claimed
(09:03):
that we're currently getting more hurricanes not because of climate change,
but because of abortion.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm sure I'll be attacked for saying this, but I
really believe it. You can't participate in human sacrifice without consequences.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, ask the Mayans. I guess hear it from his
terrible weird face.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You're making the case that, you know, sometimes we need
to have an abortion. Okay. If you're making the case
that abortion is an affirmative good, you are evil. You're
practicing child sacrifice, all right.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I can't even hear any more of that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Also claim nuclear weapons you're created by demons.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah yeah, claiming it's a human right, you're evil, that
dude have been sacrificed, and that's a great closing argument
to turn out the evangelicals for Donald Trump. She'd be like,
we're going to stop the hurricanes the second we stop
the effing human sacrifices, and by that we got to
get trunk in there.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That's right. Yeah, yeah, but they aren't weird in a
in an election where like, uh, very effective piece of
messaging was like calling them weird. They really closed on
a very weird note. I don't know why the Harris
campaign didn't stick with that, but anyways, maybe because they
(10:20):
were like, they're absolutely nailing that messaging for us.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
But yeah, like, oh cool, thanks for finishing that lob.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
We'll check in with some other election day shenanigans. We'll
be right back, and we're back. And Rudy Giuliani, mister
(10:46):
shenanigans himself, showed up to a poll in a car
he's supposed to be turning over two poll workers. He
showed up to vote. Yeah, but yeah, in a car that.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
He's like, oh, this one I'm supposed to give y'all to,
you know, make amends.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
For the kind of it's like one of those old
Mercedes Benz like.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, it's like kind of one of those ones where
it's not like classic enough where.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You're like, oh, shity's classic.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, yeah, it kind of looks like, yo, I was
doing great in eighty three. Yeah, exactly what that car
says to me.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
And look, no shade. But I don't fucking I don't
funk all about vintage cars. So sure, sure his outfit
was great, got marriage.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Out American American flagged t he He did say just
the other day that he may run for mayor of
New York City again, which good I don't know, Yeah,
good luck, and also like maybe maybe he'd win. But yeah,
the car is part of a long list of property
that he's supposed to turnover to pay the settlement, which
(11:49):
he's been accused of hiding.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Right right, because they said I think he also I
don't know if he gave up.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I think he's supposed to give like a World Series
ring or two up also and an apartment and he's like, man,
I don't but then I don't have anything, and there's
stuff fucking lying you fucking fuck face.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
How am I supposed to live without my world theories
ringing people won't know New York.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's all I say, all the fucking time.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
The other thing, though, with people pulling up at the
polls Donald Trump and uh again the internet.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Is doing its thing.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Uh they say, is that Melania she's wearing sunglasses the
whole time. I would love nothing more than for that
to be the case. But I'm I don't think this
is she definitely we know.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
If there was a double by this.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Point, Yeah, at this point, we would know. She definitely
just has. I think it's because she wears such a
varying size, like wild variation on the size of sunglasses
that she wears indoors, right, So a lot of her face,
like different parts of her face and different percentages of
her face are covered up, and so it becomes unclear
(12:57):
we're getting a different look every time. And also so
she only shows up like once a month, so she
might just be looking a little different.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Why she works such big glasses if that's not.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Fucking milan, It's like, bro, she could be hung over
as fuck. Who knows, she's like you, I'm not sharing
my eyes with all y'all. I'm like Aliyah, you know
what I mean? I have a secret of a mystery.
I'm married to a piece of shit that I won't leave.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I will say, this is the one time that I've
been like, she does look very different. I know it's
maybe I just need something.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
And your freaky lib flat flags fly today. You know
as you go, oh, it's fake. It's a fake Malanya,
look at that. He can't afford it. But we've got
Brooklyn Dad on.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
My god, Brooklyn Dad so defiant.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Hey, you know what else? Speaking of possible reasons, she
might be going polls with sunglasses on my mouth? Weed?
You heard about this? Man?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I think she's fucking smoking that loud dude.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I think she's smoking that candy buff. So the Washington
Post can I Washington Post report of the cannabis workers
are finding that a lot of customers are buying weed
to help them cope with the election. Yo.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I went to the shop on Sunday and it I've
I have.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I thought something was happening.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You're like, are they voting here? Yeah? This is a station?
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And I said, yo, what's up?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Like I usually go in like the mornings, and I
went like in the later afternoon, and the dude was like.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He's like, I don't know what the fuck is going on,
and I'm like, oh this, and it looks like a
lot of people who aren't normally like.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Doabbling like like growth I read last yeah exactly, just
being like and is a is A is a fifty
milligram edible good to just completely erase half of a day?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Okay, Yeah, I'll take seven of those.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, good luck to everybody who is coping. However they're coping,
This would be uh because the one way to make
time pass even slow for myself today would be getting
a little bit too high.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, just being like the TV is looking at me,
Steve Karnak, he hates me.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So one dispensary created a like fake website to promote
election themed pre rolls dubbed pot Litico Potolytico, and then
another dispensary created a string called potus instead of pot
dash Us, specifically to boost your mood and ease election anxiety. Hey, man,
(15:35):
I hope they don't smoke too much of that wacky
Tobacci and vote Trump into the White House again the
way that you know, because that's that's what you gotta
be doing, man.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's what happened on the weed.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
You completely lose track of everything. You're you're now You're yeah, man,
you know how look dude, my dad, man, he told
me all about this stuff. It's dangerous, man, my dad
don't believe me. Ask my mom.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I was I was listening to I think it was
CACRW today, one of the local NPR stations in Los Angeles,
and they were interviewing people at the poll, and it
was just I haven't listened to MPR in maybe a year,
but I do every time there's like some late breaking,
(16:20):
updating news, and they were interviewing people going to the
poll coming out, and they interviewed like multiple people who
are like, I'm voting for Trump because illegal immigrants are
destroying the economy and then they're just they don't say,
they don't correct it, they don't even they don't even
comment on it.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
But if I do that, then I look like I'm
against Trump.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Or you're just being objective about the state whatever. Yeah, bucket,
you're afraid to push back on someone just being horribly
and weird.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But yeah, if you guys are listening to this, looking
back at America's slide into fascism over the past six hours,
I feel like that's going to be one of the
issues that looks the weirdest is just the fact that
the media felt the need to always legitimize.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, right, Haitians are using lasers on the hurricanes, and
then that that's causing the pet storms.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And you're like, and that's a very good point, sir,
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Great, great point, and thank you. And the fact that
you're undecided, we got we respect it.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I'm gonna I'm gonna do it right at the line
of scrimmage.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We don't know if I'm going to scramble on this one,
but hey, that's what I like to do, keep it
to the last minute.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah. The New York Times did eventually release there did
I talk about this on the regular episode? They released
their seven decided voters who they eventually voted for, and
there were I was surprised. I thought. My theory of
the case was like, these are all Trump voters who
are just ashamed to say they're Trump voters, but like
(18:00):
three of them broke for Harris, one of them went
third party. One of the ones who broke for Harris, though,
I was like, God damn it, New York Times. He
actually made me think this was worth it because this
person was just like, so I wasn't looking into the
election at all this whole time. I finally looked into
it this weekend, and he apparently like tried to steal
(18:21):
the last election, like he like participated in fraud and
like ask people to find votes. So it's like that
idea of undecided voter is just somebody who refuses to
look into it. It was like, I have exactly one
day a year for politics every four years. Yeah, and
that's what you're gonna get from me.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I mean, that's I think that's part for the course.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Most people are just like I don't know, man, It's
it's always some version of the same hell no matter
who's the president.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
But oh wow, I didn't even realize.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I mean there's you know, I'm sure there are people
even wondering if Joe Biden is still on the ticket.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, so I'm hoping a lot of people are like
checking in for the first time in four years, and
I'm like, whoa, whoa fucking lost his mind?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
What happened to Biden? Where's Biden on here?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Oh, he dropped out.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I will say, you know, we've talked about how we
feel like even if Harris wins were headed for some
shit and the there's an episode of it could happen
here over on Cool Zone where they talk about like
the constitutional like sheriffs, people like the MAGA sheriffs who
are claiming that they can you know, they're basically like
(19:31):
on that sovereign citizens shit and they're like, I can
report to whatever president I want to. And they're also
claimed that they can like deputize as many people as
they want, so basically like claim they'll claim the election
is stolen if Harris wins, they deputize like an entire
town worth of Trump voters and suddenly those people can
like use guns to legally enforce their will. Is a nightmare, Snail.
(19:56):
I don't know. I've had a bad feeling of like
where Trump, you know, election denialism could be headed this time,
and that was like, oh, that's a version of how
it could look. Yeah, I recommend checking out that episode.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
It's really it's gonna be like one of those things
where if the energy is there, like the requisite energy
is there and anger, it feels like as I don't know,
like it's just seeing Trump get less and less interested
and seeing people leave the rallies too. I don't know, man,
maybe this fucker wins. If not, Like, I don't know,
I'm fucking tired of the shit. Yeah, but there's also
(20:32):
of there's definitely many dedicated people that are going to
do whatever Trump says.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So let's just let's just put a pin in that one.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Let's put a pin in it, I think the Yeah.
So we have an evergreen episode going up tomorrow morning,
and we're gonna try and jump on either tonight or
tomorrow morning with the trending episode when we have a
result to talk about sometimes, so we will talk to
y'all in the not too distant future in a completely
(21:01):
different world. 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, and we will talk
to y'all tomorrow. Bite later,
