the same reason. Yeah, it was prescribed to me. Actually, yeah, yeah, right,

time being on the show. Always like having new people
stepping into the zeitgeist. Neighborhood. Are you I know you're
in LA. You started in Boston. Are you from Boston? No,

(06:47):
I'm from New York originally from New York to that,
but take New York City, New York City, the Big Apple.
Yeah damn. And now I moved here to the large lemon.
He I am a lot of large lemon. They do
call it that. That's what they say that. They told me.
You sound like you're from here when you call it
hold on, say that again. Pally, what large lemon? The

(07:11):
this guy knows. Yeah, why don't you have one of
our famous tacos? That's how do you How long you've
been in LA Now, I've been here for a little
bit more than five years. Yeah. Oh so, like just
before the pandemic came, I had like a good six
months of making friends and then it was like, those
are the only people you'll ever know for the rest

(07:32):
of your life. I hope you did well. They're like
some of them are kind of bad, but I got
to go. Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
La wasn't a bad place to get locked down in though,
because you could still hike, you know, there was still
I can't imagine people who are locked down in your
in your hometown of the city of New York, the
Big Apple. We're just living in those small rooms.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
And in the winter too. Yeah, yeah, it was really
I mean Rodre was colder, but yeah, for sure. Yeah.
My parents live in like a time still living the
apartment I grew up in, which is like a tiny
apartment with a murphy bed, and it was like, truly
not where you wanted to spend twenty four hours a day,
twenty four seven. That's not where you want it to
be Yeah, you're like, let's look out the window. Oh
a brick wall, right, all right? Close that degerative curtain.

(08:18):
Reminded why we don't open it? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Well, Chris Murphy Bed another great Irish artist, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yes, honestly, And he backs up Michael McDonald that many
of his live shows. Wait, he does.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Who's Murphy Bed inventor? Now I gotta look that up.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
It would be incredible if it was not someone named Murphy,
That's what I say, Yeah, form diorg Joseph Bed. Fortunately
it's it's a guy named William Lawrence Murphy Bill Larry Murphy.
I came up with it around nineteen hundred in San Francisco. Okay,
well I mean yeah, I mean the ship is everywhere.
That is like one of the things where you feel like, man,

(08:53):
who fucks with the Murphy Bed? But anytime you're in
like a smaller space, like it's actually vital.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
To be able to got to have one. Yeah, yeah,
I will say.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
No has ever said, wow, I got the best night's
sleep of my life on this one Murphy bed. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
The thing that came out of the wall.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, but when we folded down like an ironing board, Yeah,
that's really comfortable.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Just the sound of it is so welcoming. You're like, oh, yeah,
are the springs breaking as you pull it down.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah. The more common feeling when you when you wake
up in Murphy bed is I'm really relieved that thing
didn't spring into the wall again and kill me in
the night. Is that possible or is that just in cartoons?
I think it's just in cartoons, based on the experience
at my parents' house, it's it's in cartoons.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
You were okay, for the record, you were not smashed
a bit. You can't see this if you're listening, but
I am extremely flat. I am flat at the panet.
You do the thing where you put your thumb in
your mouth, and God, are incredible dimples.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Those are nice. Thank you so much. Well, Chris, we're
gonna get to know you a little bit better.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
But first we're gonna let people know what we are
going to be talking about news wise, because there's a
lot happening.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
A game.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
A furry Hacker collective absolutely poned the Heritage Foundation, the
right wing think tank behind Project twenty twenty five, So
we'll get into that story and the very interesting response
from the Heritage Foundation Unfortunately, there's more drama on the
Democratic Party. It turns out now the Biden camp suspects

(10:20):
that Barack Obama is the real haater in chief and
is the one trying to push Joe Biden out. Oh
my god, can we just get a fucking break for
one second now? And then a story that's just straight
out absurd and bad. The AMO vending machines are here
for us to use for people who have firearms that
want to buy loose bullets while you buy a gatorade.

(10:43):
So we'll get into that development, the technology that's absolutely
probably gonna keep us all safe, and.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
We'll talk about so much more. But first, Chris Stuffer,
Can I call you Christopher? Absolutely? That's the full name.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Can I call you Chris?

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yes, I go by Chris. May call you Peter, call
me whatever you want. What's your middle name? Do you
do you mean you're revealing that?

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Edit that out because I was about to say my
social Security number and my mother's made a name of password.
Beleeve it or back and we're back, and thanks so much.
Ignore your emails. Set of numbers. It's a beautiful set.
I just got to say. I think three, one, four, six, eight,
two two seven nine is a great social security number
for you. I am also impressed that right off the

(11:27):
top of the dome you could remember how many numbers
were in a social security number. Well, I just said
back your actual social Security numbers, and that's true. I
was trying to make it seem like it wasn't real. Well,
I think, don't you have been.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I mean for anybody who's like clocked in at a
job or your social Security was your login?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Like did anyone doesn't have this experience like when you
clocked in like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, when you clocking
like the work computer where.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
You put it like that, Well that was work anymore now,
But when people used to work, when.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
People used to work and weren't on their phones, yes,
screaming it you skating a QR code.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
I remember.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Just the rhythm of it has always put the while security.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Rhythm in my mind, like yeah, it's pretty good. Look,
you know, I'm teaching con Man improv classes for anyone
who's interested over at i Olympics.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
They're so expensive, yeah, so much money.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well yeah, it's more people coming to the drug.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
How much you got and weather's from arrested development thing, Well,
well that's exactly how much these clauses cast.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's fascinating on It's incredible how that is so close
to how actual improv classes just work normally.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Right, Yeah, they they find the like absolute amount.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
That's like, well, they're gonna be eating taco bell sauce
packets for meals. But the promise of maybe having a
bit part on parks and rec we'll get their Have
you ever heard of broad City?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
They met here here here do you know that guy?

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Do you know human giant?

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah? Also here look at the wall. Folks.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
You could be any one of these people. You probably won't,
but that's the fish we're gonna that's the thing, that's.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
The character we need, the tiger people. That's FDR Well
what do you mean? Yeah, yeah, I was bringing it dude.
The new debject work was incredible. You didn't even need
the wheelchair. The new Deal? What is the deal? The
new deal? What's the deal? What's the new deal? Somehow
taking the show to new depths. Chris Duffie, I appreciate

(13:25):
what you have done energetically because Blake and I it's
already quit chaotic enough, but to have a consummate guess
and er oh my goodness rock. Well, first you got
to ask you, Chris Duffy, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, you know,
I'll tell you that the most recent thing in my
Google search history is how to see Google Search history.

(13:45):
Because I knew I was preparing for this show, I
like a prepared guest. But then, you know, I found
a lot of stuff that I had forgotten in my
Google search history that I've forgotten why, And I think
it says a lot, even to me about who I am.
Like one of the things I found was hot dog
buns controversy because I was going to a cookout and
I remembered that some hot dog bun I could bring

(14:06):
would indicate that I supported the far right. But I
couldn't remember how or why. Wait, but there's a far
right hot which hot dog? What was the fun?

Speaker 3 (14:13):
You know?

Speaker 1 (14:14):
It turns out that Martin's potato rolls they're donating heavily
to far right causes.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Those things are way too fuck too sweet. They're too sweet,
aren't they? They're basically like French roles. For me, this
is how I.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Live in twenty twenty four America is whenever I do
anything I first have to google is this bad and
evil accidentally funding faster something? Yeah, and look you've done
your due diligence. Oh, that was googling what is the
treasure in National Treasure? And you know what, it's not
the it's not the Declaration of Independence, which is what
I have remembered it as. No, No, that's the map
to the treasure, which is kind of like undisclosed. Oh yeah,

(14:49):
it was just.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
I could never keep up with the side of that movie.
I always found it confusing.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah. Literally, the answer that I got to after like
half an hour of googling was treasure. It is some
sort of treasure. Treasure, Wow, treasure? Was there ever? Like
that's Nicholas Cage right, Yeah? Was there ever? Like, weren't
there like theories that like there was like a crossover
between like the microfilm and the Rock and National Treasure, like.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
That there was a connection there or that was like
a weird fan theory.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I think there's some big like fan theory conspiracy theories
that a lot of other movies take place in the
National Treasure extended universe, like many many other movies exist
in a world where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution
have been stolen right right. Oh.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Someone also pointed out that in The Rock and National
Treasure Book of Secrets, the same man gets his vehicles
stolen while retrieving it from a valet during.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
The start of a chasing. The guys like my I'm
by the same. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
The Humby guy from the Rock also got his range
over straight up fucking just came off his range over
in Book of Secrets.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I would absolutely watch a short film that's just that
man going to the car dealership and being like it
happened again. Yeah, I'm back. You won't believe.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
No, I'm sorry. You're gambling again, aren't you?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Rick, No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
I wish I was gambling. No, because that I got
taken again.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
One of the few men who escaped Alcatraz. He just
got a haircut and he somehow got to the lobby.
I was dropping off my Humby and he took it
for a fucking joy ride in San Francisco and destroyed it.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
He learned to drive and stole my car. Chris, what
is something you think is underrated?

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Underrated? You know, I'm gonna say. Underrated is confidently admitting
that you don't know, something like saying I have no
clue what you're talking about. I've never seen that movie?
What does al Dente mean? I love when someone comes
up and says like, I know I'm supposed to know this,
but I have no clue. I'm not good at this
at all. But I really admire when a person says
like I never seen that. I eventually I'm unable to

(16:45):
do this, but I admire it in other people. Yeah,
it gets weird when people are just completely unwilling to
acknowledge they don't know something. It's one thing like I
get most people to their urge is just to kind
of clam up and be quiet and be like, well,
I'm not even going to speak on it because I'm
going to do the thing like in college when I
didn't understand anything or school and I was like, maybe

(17:07):
someone else will ask the question I'm waiting to have
to ask because I don't want to be that person.
But yeah, when you see people who'll be like, no,
that's actually not right, and you're like, you have no
idea what you're talking about right now? This is all that.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Lauren's a terrible move too, of just like oh, oh dente.
I love Italian food, and actually I really like pizza,
so they keep trying to get further away from them
so they can still fucking talk, you know, not be wrong.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yeah, I mean I do this all the time. Like
I would say, ninety percent of the time. If you
say ask me if I've seen a movie, I'm just
gonna be like, of course, and then I would just
hope that you fill in the blanks. And it really is.
It's a disaster. That's why I respect when people do
it the other way round.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah, are you in a relationship?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I am. I'm married, And did you ever do that?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
You're listening to the Daily Site radio in the Apple
Store and all the Spotify podcasts.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
This is one app, dude, it's an app. M Yeah,
I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
To keep explaining you need to send me the updated
script because I don't know what I'm reading right now
to be completed.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Well, I didn't want to out you. You don't know
how to read either.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well, this is one of the things that we're here.
You're right, I don't know how to read. See, I'm
on the same page with Chris. I can admit when
I can't do something, and there's beautiful reading like that
guard from Marquette who.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Was in the draft. Who they're like to do that.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
I'm pretty sure that guy can't. I don't know how
that happened.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
I'm sorry to do a segue to the NBA Draft,
but there was a story about a guy who went
to Marquette and they were suspecting that he was he
wasn't unable to read, which is fucking indictment on every
every from the teachers that failed him, to the to
the Big East to the state of Wisconsin. I also
feel like this is one of the few conspiracy theories,

(18:51):
not about this person specifically, but anytime there's that conspiracy theory,
I'm like, if they respond immediately, then it's wrong. And
if they don't respond to me, it means they couldn't
read the accusation. I believe it. Yeah, like yeah, right,
same premise of like this kind of like the Homish jokes.
Did you see that clip of someone posted on Twitter
They're like, uh, like, I'm here in Indiana and some

(19:13):
Amish guys pulled up to a basketball court and like
the city and just started playing and were like balling out,
and then someone tweeted underneath it's like if one of
them hits a step back, they got TV, like, that's
so funny. Just so you know, just so you know, overrated, Chris,
what's some any thing is overrated? Christopher? I feel like
this is. I know this is a controversial one because

(19:35):
people come in with uh, you know, all sorts of
overrated takes that are that are very uh pop culture,
but mine is a general one. I think coffee is overrated.
Coffee as a whole thing. People are lining up and
waiting for coffee at coffee shops. They're they're making content
about a cup of bean water. I don't understand it.
Coffee is is exactly what it should be, but it

(19:55):
has it has risen up to the level of overrated.
I feel like coffee is overrated. Are you. I'm guessing,
just from your personality type, you may not need the
aid of caffeine one hundred percent correct, And that is
that's the gentlest way of saying, sir, you need to
calm down.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
No, not even because I'm the same way, like I'm
caffeine insensitive and people like, would you drink a bunch
of coffee?

Speaker 1 (20:15):
I'm like, dude, don't even fuck this shit, don't even
bang unless I drink like like the most pure cold
brew then I start getting up a little bit or
Vietnamese coffee. Yeah yeah, I'm the opposite where I like
the taste, but when I drink it, my like hands
start shaking because it's like, we do not need this.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Oh shit, yeah we're redlining. Yeah that's interesting. I love
so I love coffee, but to your point, I hate
the culture around it, if that makes sense, where it's
more of an addiction and a treat for me. And
also I guess a boost more than like I don't
need to have a way these beans roasted or like

(20:51):
if it tastes good, it tastes good.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Does that make sense? Like I don't get A friend of.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Mine started weighing the water, you know, because like to
make like a perfect pour over it's like an amount
of grams of water and all.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
This and and I get it.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yo, if that's for you, I'm glad you have the energy,
because I have the energy to do all kinds of
weird shit, you know, like with weed and stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
They'd be like, why are you doing it? Because you've
got to get the texture right of the blunt or
else is not fucking good. Let me do my thing.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
But again, each people, everyone has their own thing.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, listen, just a simple cup is fine translated in
general by the Sheryl Crow. You know, if it makes
you happy, it can't be that bad. But I'm like,
this is I think we've gone a little far on
this one. I think we've gone a little far. Is
waiting mine making you happy? Like I fell into this
where my wife got me an espresso machine, I think
for Christmas?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
But you also have a wife I do, and we'll
be a bit.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Listen to this podcast wherever you find your podcast. iHeartMedia
and on all your Spotify podcasts apps.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
I just tried to high five Chris from across the
country and know you're like, I I got this this
espresso machine, and I like the espresso. But then I
started reading going into the espresso reddits and then convincing
myself that I wasn't good enough for the way I
was making expressed, So like I just.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Express team whatever you want to call that ship.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Wait, what do you mean?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
How did you get bummed out from? Like what to
walk me through? What were they what was being said
that You're.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Like, oh, I'm not good enough for this, because they
were all like, oh I measure the bean like to
what we were just talking about measure the water, the beans,
I do it like like the the grounds, isn't.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
It like that? Atmospheres too, Like the pressure is also
a huge thing with espresso.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
That's a big thing. And I'm like, oh, no, mine,
I'm never gonna fit into this community and I need
to buy all this ship and uh and then I'm like, no,
I like it. Like to Chris's point, you don't have
to live the whole life. You can just have something
you enjoyed privately.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
You're like, that is, babe, which espresso machine do we have?
It's a Currie, It's a cure.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Okay, okay, so none of this stuff applies here.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
What's incredible about uh about humans there is we're like
so desperate to fit in that You're even like, I
can't fit into the online espresso community.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah right, yeah something I did it though existed Yeah
until thirty seconds ago.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Just punting the espresso machine to the curb and shit,
fuck boo.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
I need to make more money.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
That's better things. Yeah. I do think that if you
spend more than one hour on an online espresso community,
there should be a pop up this that's you need
to make more money. Get back to work.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, they're like, uh ah, your income is not high
enough for this to actually make sense to you. Uh
because like you see, there was someone I went to
some like there's some agency and like one of these
talent agencies, and like people talk about like oh man.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Like they got like one of those insane espresso machines
from fucking Italy, and like you go and it really
is like it's like the size of like a baby
Grand piano and like like there's like painted like a
fucking Ferrari engine and you're like how much.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Like it's like it's thirty thousand dollars something.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Bro, Just give me a fucking vitamin water and I'll
keep this shit moving. Yeah, please, it's all status, You're right, Yeah, well,
I mean it's not that I mean, like for because
obviously Italians take their shit seriously, but it's just like
some things are so outside of my grasp or my
experience or my interests that like when I look at it,
I'm like, god, cool man, Like I honestly it's wasted

(24:20):
on me because I wouldn't fucking know it came out
of like a thirty thousand dollars or however many tens
of thousand dollars machine. Well there's also like someone there
who's the unpaid summer intern, who's like, all that I've
actually learned on this job is how to use the
thirty thousand dollars express. And if you actually had just
not bought this, you could have paid me for my
labor this summer. That would have been really nice. Thank
you so much.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
At least, like I could have done Starbucks runs and
got points in my app for it, but I could
have netted out for something at the end. Anyway, let's
take a quick break.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
We'll be right back and we'll get into the news,
and we're back.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
And the Heritage Foundation, the right wing think tank behind
Project twenty twenty five, was recently the target of the
hacker group sieged SEC. They are a self proclaimed group
of gay furry hactavists who go after specifically anti LGBTQ
plus groups. So Project twenty twenty five we've talked about
it before, but it's getting a lot of attention now

(25:25):
in the mainstream news, especially since Trump was trying to
pull a.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Mariah Carey being like, oh, I don't know her nothing
about it at.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
All, come to find out, or just a cursory glance,
you'll see that at least one hundred and forty people
that worked in his first administration have a hand in
it now. Basically, just a quick summary is like it's
a roadmap for Trump's next administration and what he would
do sort of in the first one hundred and eighty days.
And it's filled with batshit policies like eliminating environmental protections,
banning pornography, banning birth control, purging government employees so they

(25:55):
can be replaced with flunkys, just all kinds. I mean,
it touches literally everything from immigration to diversity initiatives, to
like who's protected and who isn't, what civil rights are
or are not. And it's like a huge thing, which
is why Trump has been like, oh god, that thing
that's posted very publicly on the Internet that is proclaiming
this is what's going to happen from the people who

(26:16):
I took two thirds of their suggestions in my first administration.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
So it's also.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
Crammed with a mind blowing amount of like homophobic, transphobic nonsense,
which put the Heritage Foundation in the crosshairs.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Of sieged sec. The forward of the project twenty twenty
five documents specifically calls out the trans community by vowing
an end to the so called quote toxic normalization of
transgenderism and the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology. So the
hackers do what they do, and did what they did
and recently announced that they have over two hundred gigabytes

(26:53):
of files from the organization, which like they just got pumed.
They're like, we have all of your.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Everything, which has information IP addresses, all kinds of shit
of every user in their database. So a bit of
sunlight as a way to sanitize things now. An executive
from the group made his anger about the hack very
public when he messaged a member of the group named
Viio This is from a write up I think from

(27:19):
Rolling Stone. After declining an offer to talk with this
guy's named Mike Howell, who works for the Heritage Foundation
on the phone, Bio said seat Sex simply wanted to
quote shine a light on who supports the Heritage Foundation
and didn't want money or faith. Howell responded by asking, what,
that's why you hacked us just for that? He then
said the organization was in quote the process of identifying

(27:42):
and outing members of your group reputations and lives will
be destroyed.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Closeted furries will be presented to the world for the
degenerate perverts they are, is what the message is said.
It continued with more threats and insults and aren't even
worth mentioning. Io responded eloquently by just saying, well, that
was unprofessional, and said that he would share the conversation
between the two. Howell responded, please share widely. I hope

(28:06):
the word spreads as fast as STDs do in your
degenerate furry community. When the exchange predictably ended up online,
Mike Howell responded like any homophobic white dude would and
posted eminem lyrics as like a like a quote tweet
like the chat log was posted and.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Then he fucking just just quoted it with and I
am whatever you say I am. If I wasn't, then
why would I say I am in the paper the
whole fucking Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
He went on to say ball with the ball, but
Banga Dang.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Said up jump the boogie, So yeah, that's that's kind
of where that's That was his response.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
The group is now a siege sect. The Hacker Group
is going to disband to you know, They're like, we
don't need any law enforcement heat right now, so we're
gonna just we're.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Going to the shadows. And that guy Mike Howell was like,
see what I did. They're disbanding because I fucking just
grilled their asses with my eminem lyrics.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's all very all very America in twenty twenty four,
and it feels like just you know, the tired one.
I didn't have this on my bingo card type story,
but here we are.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
You know, there are there are definitely problems with living
in a polarized society. But I have to say this
is one of the few times where I've been like, Okay,
there's a clear benefit to living in a polarized society,
Because if I found out that my coworker was secretly
a gay fury hacker taking down the Heritage Foundation, I
would be like, I like you so much more right now,
and everyone in this office likes you so much more.
Like his idea of like I'm gonna out you and

(29:38):
it's gonna ruin your lives, it's gonna make their lives
way there like every way.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, prob is too many baked goods getting gifted their way.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, truly truly truly because Blake, So I was I mean,
I was just waiting for you to stop saying truly
over and over truly truly.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Well, this the show is sponsored by Truly Spike. Thank
you so much, the truly truly it's really truly, truly truly.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Tobo Chiko White Claw White Claw White. So two of
youre gigabytes is so much where it's not like these
are this is four K video like right, text, but yeah,
it's text.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
That's a lot of people. And the other thing is
interesting too.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
I mean, we'll probably talk about this in a later episode,
but there's such a huge focus on banning pornography because
it's partially just sort of like it's making it's it's
clouding the minds of men. But it's also like a
way to sort of take back like the influence of
anything that like is like open sexuality. So to them,
that's gonna that's going to create a more openness to

(30:39):
like any and people expressing their sexuality in any way.
They're like, if we can clamp down on that, then
the cis Het bros will inherit the earth. But we
just gotta stop the fucking.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Bleeding there and that's why we've seen all these like
porn pornography bands pop up like left and right, but
clearly like those are those are very indirect attacks at
like the gay and trans community.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
So that's that's such a good point. They're not like
we must ban the missionary position between Like that's not
what they're worried about. They're trying to take away rights
and visibility because everything.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, and also too, like they want to create you
know this like very like bring back like that sex
is purely like as the Bible intended for procreation and
the continuation.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Of tip for them, the like a white ethno state.
Well it's also it also like ties in for me
of this this like broader strategy that the right uses
a lot, which is to accuse the left of doing
the exact same thing that they are doing, where they're like, oh,
you want to right, well, the left is replacing everyone
in government with their their sick, indoctrinated people. And then

(31:40):
they're like, here's a document that says exactly how we'd
like to replace everyone in government with that, And they're like, oh,
you're trying to influence kids and affect education by putting
things that are not accurate in the textbooks, and they're
actually we're going to send to the textbooks like they
just say, to the textbooks. Religion is rife like at
all of our curriculum. And also please do not look
at any kind of sexual abuse scandals that involve organized
religion and night states anyway, moving on, and it's the

(32:04):
furries that are hacking people on behalf of protecting like
the vulnerable in society. Yes, it is that completely, that's it.
So it's always like unmask you. Yeah, the pornography thing
is just the same thing where it's like, you guys
are obsessed with pornography. It's disgusting how obsessed you are
with pornography, not us. And then you I'm sure that
two hundred gigabytes is just like every idea address that
the Heraticals Foundation twenty four SEPs And then cut to

(32:27):
even Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who like on
the road to becoming Speaker of the House. We found
out he uses this app Covenant Eyes, which prevents him
from jerking off so him and his son can look
at each other whatever they're looking at on their what.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Was that called what was what was the app called?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
It's called truly truly truly Spike self truly truly, truly truly.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
It's called Covenant eyes. Yeah, Covenant ice, coming in ice,
coming in ice. Cover them eyes. You've got coven I
would love if coveing. And I was like, look, we
were really in the media right now, this is our
chance to branch out.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
We are.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
We are a nonpartisan app that is just trying to
help fathers and sons have cool conversations about what they're
looking at on.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Them exactly, and and if it's porn then yeah, get
mad at each other man. But again, but this is
also a thing like even within evangelical groups too. You
see them like I've seen how porn addiction has affected
my church community and things like that, and like all
this repressed sexuality. It's y'all just figure yourselves out. Stop
sucking figure out.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean, you gotta attack the demand, not the supply. Right.
It's the War on drugs all over again, where it's
like the problem is that some people are addicted to pornography,
so we better make sure there's never pornography again. It's like, maybe,
actually what you're talking about is mental health care. I
think what you're describing is like affordable mental health care. Yeah,
maybe being more openness about people's gender expression or sexuality

(33:50):
so they're not sort of shoved into a violent closet
where those ideas manifest and fester into something else. Whatever.
I don't know what the no, no, no, we gotta
shut down that. If I don't, if I don't have
to look at him kissing, then I don't have to
think about it.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Oh sir, you're grinding your teeth.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
You're awake, Sorry, your front teeth are cracking. Anyway, So
much love to see sec and doing doing the work
of the of the good side.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Uh in an era of evil doers, because the only
evil abounds. Going on to the presidential race, just another tidbit.
I mean, as it stands, Joe Biden is still the
the he's the candidate. He is, he is who's going
to be run. But the thing that's surrounding obviously there's
all this speculation, what's.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Going is he gonna is he gonna step down? Should
he step down? He heeds stepp down? I don't want
to step down. Who's gonna take the money? It should
be calm on, no, it should be grabbing do something.
Maybe should be fucking Patrick Bateman from American Psycho fucking anyone.
But if I just.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
God, if things weren't already grim enough surrounding this election.
There's now speculation from Biden's team that Obama, Barack Obama,
maybe pulling strings to put pressure on Biden to drop out.
So on Morning Joe, which is Biden's version of Fox
and Friends, as you heard from when he called into
the show on Monday, and that can not go well.

(35:11):
I don't think we talked about that because we don't
need to pile on more at.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
This point, folks.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Joe Scarborough said quote, One thing that we do that
we do have to underline here just so viewers can
follow what's going on behind the scenes is the Biden campaign,
and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is
quietly working hard behind.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
The scenes to orchestrate this. Mika Brazinski, who's his wife
and co host, also said quote, I think Barack Obama
has a lot of influence, and there's a lot there
which we're like, oh, we're we're doing this. Hung We're gonna,
we're gonna we're blaming Barack Obama. We're gonna, we're doing
We're gonna.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Blame a person of color now for like that's.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
The real problem. Probably is could be Barack now.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Some believe that Obama's friendship with George Clooney, who he
touched on he broke up with Biden via New York
Times op ed earlier this week, is a sign that Obama,
at the very least isn't stopping influential people from piling on.
They also point to the fact that people like David
Axelrod or the Pod Save America guys have also said
Biden needs to really consider like bowing out and that

(36:16):
their former Obama aids that like this is all part
of like this network of people who are might just
also be observing what is happening and coming to this conclusion.
But it's very interesting to see that, Like, I mean.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Maybe it is Barack Obama. I don't know, but it is.
It's like it's something that many people who have said
that I don't think arises to the level of like
conspiracy at this point, but I don't know. It's aweso
like putting such a nefarious spin on it and blaming
Barack Obama when you know, to me, what I'm hearing
is like if your friend Barack and all your other

(36:50):
friends are saying the same thing. It might mean that
they're just giving you good advice. Like I had a
thing happen in middle school where all the cool boys
were wearing their hit. They had like gel in their
hair that made it spike up straight up, like statue
of Liberty, little front, exact thing. They had the statue
of Liberty spike on. But I have curly hair, yeah right,
And so my hair I would put the poem made

(37:10):
in and when I left the house it would be
spiked straight up. But by around ten am, after I'd
sweat a little bit and it loosened up, it would
curl fully back, so that I had like a cartoon
baby curl, you know, like the babies have that, like
you could stick a pencil. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Not a good look. And you know what, It took
a lot of friends saying to me, you look very
bad before I was like, maybe I do look bad,

(37:33):
and maybe not the right movie. This is a fucking conspiracy. Yes, well,
all y'all.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Oh so all of y'all like you're like Denzel Washington
at the end of training day.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Oh okay, all y'all, motherfuckers. That's exactly all y'all asses,
that's that was me. Where's everybody going? That was in
seventh grade going, you don't want me to be cool.
You're trying to pull me back with this extra hold
hair gel. And now how much like Joe Biden, I
hope that he will realize, actually, maybe the the hair

(38:04):
thing isn't really working out, like yeah, to take the advice.
It's it's if we're caught in such a hard spot
where like, at a certain point, I feel like most
people be like, dude, I'm I'll vote for whoever the fuck.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
I don't give a fuck. It just can't be Trump.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
So literally, put a fucking box of Ritz Crackers in
a suit and I'll go for it. That also sounds
cool as hell. I would love to vote for Ritz
Crackers in a suit. Buttery. I mean yeah, they're buttery.
That kind of the suit is what did it for me,
because it's like taking themselves.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Okay, job they want they're that's impressive.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
The d n C is truly putting on the writs.
I guess break. I also have a wife, So with.

Speaker 6 (38:48):
That, like all right, footes, no, let's take no, like no,
let me just hit this one. Story's sorry, Oh real quick?

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Did you see that?

Speaker 3 (39:07):
So there was a Key and Peele sketch from years
ago where the guy, I don't know if he was
the president or what his job was, but he would
do like cool handshakes with like the black people in
attendance and then the white guys. He would just shake
your hands.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
I'm a black person on the internet.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I know about Pew Obama and I saw Obama wapping
up the Team USA players and it was the exact
same ship.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Every well, be right back, That's what that was what
I was going to say. But white guys got breaking.
God Jesus, I'd vote a third term. All right, let's
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
What a what a time? What a time we live in? Uh, guys,
we have so much fun during the breaks. It's really
just choked back laughter. That doesn't make it do so
sometimes I know Justin will cut it into the opening,
But a lot of laughs happening.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Where were Yes, of course it's twenty twenty four and
I did have this on my Bengo card. AMMO vending
machines Firearm ammunition vending machines are here, and I guess
we're all living in some kind of fucking first person
shooter game because now like it's you go to a
vending machine for your your bang bang bullets. So in

(40:28):
certain grocery stores in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas, you can
now finally pick up a dozen eggs, a gallon of milk,
a t bone steak, some diapers for the kids, and
a box of fucking forty five ammo.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
You know what I mean, You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Finally, that's all I wanted, right next to the water.
It's right there. The company claims that it's safe.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Don't worry, man, The machines are equipped quote with built
in AI technology. That is the biggest fucking red flag, dude,
don't It's like you can just say that about fucking
anything now, and it's it's meaningless. But to some people
who aren't critically thinking like, oh.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Well wait, the AI technology is built in, I'm sorry,
what is that even fucking Okay?

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Anyway, it's avasive and I don't really understand the technology myself.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
But also like it correct, and also like I'm not
good at like saying like I don't know something, so
I'm just gonna NodD along to say that that's good
and allows you to get out of the thing.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
I can get them, that's all I really.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
I'm concerned. I got to get them, okay perfectly, and
also has facial recognition software in order to quote meticulously
verify the identity and age of each buyer. I'm sorry, motherfucker,
with this face, you're not gonna know how old I am.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
No, this man is twelve. Gonna be wrong, Okay, this
twelve year old again.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
The people at the dispensary, they're fucking always look at
my idea and they're like, damn, bro, you're like forty.
Someone said that shit to me the other day. He said, literally, damn, bro,
you're like forty. And I was like, this is like
a younger like gen Z dude working there. And I
was like, yeah, man, he's like, bro, he's like you
look good man. He's like, and you look like a
pretty chill guy.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
Man.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
I want to be like that one. I'm forty. And
I was like nice, and I was like looking at
him like, damn, like you're twenty two. Like that is
some I remember being like twenty two and seeing like
a like an adult, like kind of semi having their
shit together and be like, I want to be like
that guy. It's not all bad. Yeah you could be.
I could be that.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
I'm scared of what's gonna happen when like the bullets
get stuck, you know, like a bag of chips, and
then you shake the whole machining it explodes.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
I don't understand how vending machine technology works or how
guns work, to be honest, but it does seem like
an old vending machine pushing one of those bullets out.
Quite likely that the machine is gonna shoot you. Yeah, yeah,
unless the AI.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
If the AI is there of course, to prevent that
from happening, Yeah, is embedded in it.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Well. Also, the other thing that I thought was so
funny about the story is that they were like, don't worry,
it does like a full verification scan. And they said
that it does a three hundred and sixty degree verification,
which I think that's so funny. Thing like do a
little twirl show me what you're waking.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
That was gonna be like, all right, now, twirl from
a Wow, you really want this buck shot?

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Okay, then let us know show me now see it?
Oh yeah yeah? Like and like disco music goes off suddenly.
For that part, it's like a fun moment. They're like, uh, oh,
we got a hottie over here, do a little chorus.
The company is called the American Rounds, and like the
idea of doing a little spin and it being like
you are a certified American round exactly. Oh there's even

(43:23):
a tie in with sexy red thugging with my rounds.
You know, Hu, I.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
Didn't expect to get objectified by a bullet machine, and
yeah here I am.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
I mean, I think you're.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
A fool if you were gonna buy a bullets from
a bullet machine and it didn't objectify you someone All right,
hot stuff, look at that cute little but you're like,
there's an expectation that this is going to be like
a controversy free transaction.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
I don't think it's like a chivalrous bullet machine. It's like, no,
this thing's a pig right right right.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
It's like, oh, what a what a nicely formed posterior
you have, sir.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
It's also bullets.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
We're also getting closer and sort of just living inside
of the Chris Rock joke about making bullets cost so
much money, right exactly. That was the thing.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
So like again, like you said, American rounds, their whole
thing is like it's actually it's actually safer than retail because.

Speaker 1 (44:13):
No one can shoplift their AMMO. I'm sorry, where the
fuck are people shoplifting animal? That shit is typically at
least when I've seen it, like a sporting goods place,
it's locked up, Like, you're not fucking shoplifting fucking ammal
unless again, I live in California, so obviously you know
we're fucking snowflakes over here, and we don't like to
have our ammo like loose, so you can just pocket

(44:34):
that shit and then head on out of whatever story
you're in. But they also like, but other people are
just sort of like, this is a bad this is
a step in such a wrong direction because we already
have such a gun problem that to even be like, yeah,
things that we get out of vending machines, candy bars,
bags of chips, sodas, hollow point rounds, it's just all

(44:56):
kind of the same thing and kind of takes us
further and further away from like the of like the
real dangers that we have in our American society. But
also like vending machines, no one has ever said, like,
venue machines are famous for people making good decisions. Yeah,
Like a vending machine is an impulse buy, and you
are you know, you're like this is probably I'm gonna
regret this later, but it's right there. I mean, not
the mindset I want someone to be in when they're

(45:18):
getting bullets, do you like? To your point, which is
spot on, like I always when I see a vending machine,
I'm always like, what's some goofy shit I can try
in here? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Because you're like, I'm hungry, you don't have actual food
that I need, so now let's just fuck around real quick.
And if I'm yeah, in the context of like I
need bullets and being like, yeah, you know what, let's
fuck around really quick and get these things.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
But anyway, so it has been controversial in some places.
In Tuscaloose, Alabama, a city councilor like was receiving complaints
about the machine about the vending machine that he thought
it was a joke at first, like, man, there's no
fucking way god bullets.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, And then eventually the machine was remove but not
because there was fucking public outrage and true in a
true capitalist sense just doing it was just wasn't doing
enough sales, so we get rid of it and nobody was buying. Yeah,
the robo gun show. And people have made Ammo vending
machines before, but but they're like in gun ranges, like

(46:20):
in the context of like, yeah, I guess here, that's
like the one place I could be like that makes sense,
rather than.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Next to whatever frozen pizzas or some shit. But again,
like to your point, Chris about ammo, we have gun regulation,
but ammo regulation is like purely vibes and like vaporware,
it's nothing really substantive because like they are so lax that,
you know, like people who are prohibited from owning guns,

(46:48):
you technically can't own you buy ammo because you're prohibited
from owning a gun, So you're actually prohibited from buying ammo.
There's like no process in place to actually verify like, oh,
can you buy ammo? So what?

Speaker 2 (47:00):
So a machine is a pretty good workaround for something
like that, but it's already quite easy to procure ammunition
as it is. Also, federal law bans the sale of
animal to people under the age of eighteen, but the
law doesn't quote require sellers to verify a buyer's age,
either online or in person. So great, that seems a

(47:21):
bit problematic. Some states do regulate ammunition, like in California,
like I said, there are things like background checks. New
York is also similar, but there's a gap in federal
law that allows people to buy and sell ammunition across
state lines without restrictions, so the laws are essentially moved.
And like, yeah, to your point, it is like it
does feel like the Chris Rock bit because like you know,

(47:45):
for like a vending machine, right, like a person buying
a selling ammunition, you can tell like, oh, this person
seems inebriated, maybe a bit like they're going through something.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
This might not be someone I might want to just
pause really quick on selling this person selling to this person.
But again, the.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Machine like that if you just hold your id and
do a little spin for daddy, uh, it will put
out the bullets. And yeah, I think the Chris rock
bit is great because you know, his whole thing was like,
we just need to make bullets so fucking expensive that
you would second, you would take a second, you'd take
a beat to shoot somebody because you then be like,
can I afford to fucking shoot you? And that would

(48:27):
you know, That's that's why comedy is obviously the solution
everything we're going through.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
It is, at least that's what we're selling machine exactly
second we will be we are back. But in Miles
you made a good point too about like how we
already have such an issue where I think making these
making AMMO this visible continues to normalize the like it
in further in trench gun culture in the country. And yeah,

(48:56):
I saw it too where I mean again like lived
in like Pennsylvania, California and New York where you don't
see guns, but when you go to an open carry state.
I remember the first time I went to like Dallas
and just saw someone walking down the street with a
rifle and I'm like, oh, this is it, and I
got I was so scared, and I like like started
to run out of the restaurant and who like, no

(49:18):
people just walk around with that Oh yeah, no, worry
about it. Yeah, And then it's like oh, k oh,
yeah he's gun right, oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
oh yeah, away with that thing. So it's not LARPing,
it's it's not no, no, he just has a gun.
But yeah, But and then so seeing that like starts
like normalizing. I was like, oh, no, maybe guns are
just normal. And then just like you said, once it

(49:38):
enters something that you see that is a vending machine,
which you don't equate that with something dangerous generally, and
I was like, oh yeah, if you can put bullets
on vending machine, why are we banning guns? It's normal,
like they should just be here.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
This is also like where this is where like regulations
are so far behind the time still, because it's like
like gun regulations are in some ways like almost like
a moot point at this point, because you can three
D print a ghost gun and that can't be regulated,
but you can't, as far as I know, like three
D print a bullet. So now if you can like
get an illegal gun and then just walk into a
grocery store and not even have to deal with anyone

(50:11):
and by the by the bullets, that all of a
sudden is those are the two pieces you need. And
to me, it's like this is this is one of
those examples of a thing where it's actually not a
controversial idea that you don't want people buying like unregulated
guns and unregulated bullets. There's like a very vocal minority,
but like even gun owners are like, hey, don't just

(50:34):
sell a random ass gun to anyone who wants it
when they're drunk and angry and then let them get
the bullets from a venue machine. Like that's not a
popular position among any group of people. Like I don't
understand why, because I feel like gun owners now are
becoming a little more self conscious about the gun problem too.
They're like, well, some idiots are ruining it. Man, there's

(50:55):
responsible gun owners too, and this is some whack jobs too,
but yeah, and there are I mean, there are responsible
gun owners. It's just like the problem is like what
are you willing to sacrifice to stop the irresponsible people?
And also I gotta say, like my hope here is
that I would hope that the AMO vending machine ends
up like the Bitcoin ATM, where I've like seen a

(51:16):
Bitcoin ATM and I've never once seen a person use it,
because I'm like, that is solving a problem that no
one had. And I hope that the AMMO vending machine
is the same thing where literally being scammed is exactly
where I truly like they get those phone calls and
they're like, this is the irs you need to give
us fifteen thousand dollars at this bitcoin ATM or we're
going to fucking arrest you. And then like this like
poor seventy eight year old person, Like where do I go? Like,

(51:38):
go this bitcoin ATM?

Speaker 2 (51:40):
So I think again, like the bitcoin ATM. Only bad
things will come of this, So I do. I hope
for a very short lifespan and this will just be
one of those stories we just go back.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
And like I remember that that it's a joke. Yeah,
oh it's a joke. Oh wait no, President Trump says
they have to be in every gas station. Now okay, Well,
Chris Duffy, thank you so much man for joining us
on the daily Zeitgeist.

Speaker 2 (52:04):

a truly, truly, truly a pleasure life. I you can
find me online at Chris Duffie Coomedy dot com or
at Chris the letter I Duffy because someone else got
that Chris Duffie before me. And where what's a piece
of media that I have been enjoying? I'll tell you.
A serious one is Andrew Leland wrote this book called

(52:33):
The Country of the Blind about slowly losing his sight
that I think is like one of the best books
that I've read in a really long time, and really
interesting think about ability and disability and what it means
to be in the world. And then a silly one
is I have been absolutely loving justin joke at jjoq
ue on on x posted Google AI's response to the

(52:55):
first person to backflip, and it has been making me
laugh all day, which is that it's said it's difficult
to trace the origins of the backflip, but some say
that John Backflip performed the first backflip in thirteen sixteen
in medieval Europe. However, Backflip was eventually exiled after his
rival William front Flip convinced the public that Backflip was
using witchcraft. And that is a masterpiece. I hope a

(53:16):
I never correct itself. Shit, it won't, and it won't
and it won't. Hopefully well it too will come crashing down. Blake,
