Know that that was when someone that was disqualifying.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Wait, what's crazy is I actually just pulled that up
to have as a like sound clip because I miss
I missed that the d scream. I feel like that's
actually something that we're missing in politics now, is a
rally prime.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was like when the mainstream media had the power
to cancel someone on a win, just be like, your
campaign is over, asshole, because we got a funny little
clip of you sounding wild. Yeah yeah, no more mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Looks like everybody stopped listening to you, and it's funny.
It was also because he was for a single pair healthcare.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Shit. Oh yeah, that's why I decided to freaking shit
fuck out of there. Yeah yeah, yeah, anyway, sorry, go on.
It's a production by Heart Radio.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It is Thursday, November seventh, twenty twenty four. Miles. I
can't wait to find out what the national International days
are today.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I know, I know, I feel so fucking stupid. Saying

is National retin All Day, so shout out this fucking skincare. Okay,
it's also these days, fucking suck dude. National Bittersweet Chocolate

Yeah, man, that's what I'm aware of today mainly.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And also yeah, National men make Dinner Day. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Wow, Hey, you've earned it, fellas, go out there and uh,
you know, spend all your political capital. God man, people
who like dark chocolate are so proud of that fact.
It's like such a weird political cause. But there's why
I actually like my chocolate to taste bad.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I like I like Hershey's Special Dark because that's the
closest I'll get like real dark chocolate.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'm like, I like my candy to be so sweet.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
What's what's happening with the Hershey's one?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, Yeah, that's the special dark Special Dark I'm okay with.
But like if you go to Trader Joe's or some
shit and like they're like dark chocolate stuff, there's stuff
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
A little too bittersweet for me. Anyway. I just like
I'm baby, so I like a little melt in your
mouth milk chocolate. And when people like your chocolate lover
like yes, oh so you like like bittersweet dark chocolate
with no sugar in it, that like makes makes you
have a makes your face contort. I'm like no, they're like, oh,
then you don't really like fuck with chocolate.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Is it? Because they're supposed to be like more of
a flavor profile with your yeah, dark chocolate, and it's
like yeah, like the finer things and you're.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Like probably good.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's like for a wine, I'm drinking a smearanof ice
bro that is the.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Equivalent of my taste and chocolate is the tannins. Yeah
to wine experts, I prefer smearnoff ice. Yeah. Anyways, Uh,
my name's Jack O'Brien AKA. I'm not gonna do an AKA.
I do just want to shout out all the folks
in the Zeit gang who like still brought it this

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, we still have to get on Mike because I
feel like the only way to really for me, at
least personally, to kind of have a just reckoning with
the reality is to talk about it as much as
I just kind of like, maybe I'll just fucking scroll
the internet and ship for you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):

Speaker 3 (07:43):
We're talking about gin and juice first, Long Beach.

about yeah, like how many ads do I have imprinted
in my brain of.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like watching Gang a tanger Ray, right, you know what
I mean? It also blew my mind was like it's
not with a G, that's a Q, which is.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Kind of crazy, dude.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, yeah, why is that? Because Q is the classy
version of G. You know, yeah, like a real classy.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I thought tanger Ray was like a cocktail with like tang.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, it does have I mean the marketing I once
read a magazine article about like the marketing guy behind
Gray Goose, and he was also the marketing guy behind
what's the what's the thing that the like a parrot
or the digestif that like everybody takes.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Like a borrow or yeah Fornett.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
No no, like even a long time ago, the green.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh oh no no no, the German one with the Jagermeister.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, Like this person was just like made both of
those huge and like I feel, I feel like the
the smartest brains in America in the late twentieth century.
We're just going into marketing liquor, like naming tanger Ray
and you know, like.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
This there like it's fine French wheat or something with
gray Goose to set it apart, like oh.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Shit, yeah, well goddamn fine French vodkaan in a wine bottle.
Don't mind if I do yeah with the cork. All right, Well, Rachel,
we do really appreciate you showing up, Yeah, record with
us today. It's been lovely getting to meet you. We're
going to get to know you a little bit better
in moment. First, some of the things we're talking about, well,
(10:04):
just look at the overall, like some of the metrics
that we do, we're looking at that. Yeah, just a
couple of very basic ones. Also Google searches that show
us just where the electorate was at in the day
leading up to the election. We will peer through the
bullshit to try to strain and find a couple of
(10:25):
bits of good news and just like an overall, our
writer JM actually watched like TV election results coming in.
They didn't watch them. I didn't watch it on TV.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, man, fucking killed my brain watching channel.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It sounds like it was a real.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Dude, the fucking Daily Show thing was so hard to watch.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I didn't want I went to a bar last night.
It wasn't super crowded. They were also still doing trivia,
which I said, love the commitment. Loveday Trivia night, which
is beautiful and was kind of a nice distraction to
be like we're playing trivia, but also the elections happening.
It was so quiet in there. I'm assuming because people
learn from twenty sixteen to be like, we're staying, we're
doing this in private.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now we're not. We're not.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
There's a bar by me that was like, yeah, we're
not doing anything because we don't want to associate whatever
happens tonight with our bar in case it.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Goes very fair south and very it's a.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Very okay, good, good good. Yeah, don't let this be
the scene of absolute disappointment. I know somebody who like
was like having a viewing party, and I'm just like.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh yo, no, no. I couldn't even first, before everything
went to shit, I couldn't even look at food because
I was too nervous. And then once it started going
to shit, I was very glad I hadn't even thought
about food because I would not have. Yeah, it was bad,
but like to just be there doing like you know,
(11:55):
or dirvs Jesus in front of other people, just like
choking them down to sport.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Up a deviled egg. Yeah, I'm so glad I could
be in community.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Because I'd swallowed it whole like an aspirin because I
forgot to chew it. Anyways, all that plenty more, maybe
none of it. I don't know. We'll see what we
have the stamina to do.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But before we get to that therapy session, we don't
need people who are trying to be like, what can
we laugh?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Give us a week. I don't know, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I said psilocybin might take me to the next plane
of existence. I think for a little bit, I need
to I need something. I need some people to get
out in nature, touch grass. I'm gonna ride my bike
so fucking hard.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, yeah, before we get to before we get to
the news, Rachel. We do like to get to know
our guests a little bit better by asking them, what
is something from your search history?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, so something about me is that I'm a bit
of a freaking nerd. Hate to say it, but I
always love to google a little something and I will,
like currently I have sixty three tabs open on my phone.
Just I just hear a word and I go, let
me search that really quick, because I will come back
and learn so much about this. Do I know have
(13:22):
some of these been open since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yes, hell yeah, I have one hundred and eighteen tabs open.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So okay, all right, I don't like to learn as
much as you guys got Oh No, I'm just I'm
it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm bad at following through on shit like cleaning up
my tabs. A seventy six or Magic game from last
season still open on my tabs, like that's that's that?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That could be?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
This could be a new like segment or like oldest
tab on your phone they opened because my oldest one?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
What is this puppies alternative? I can't imagine what the
fuck I was thinking like four years ago? Yeah, mine
was something about Trump visiting a black church. Damn I've
opened hundred eighteen tab since fucking June. Okay anyway, Wow,
I need to sort it out. Sorry to make this
all about ust Rachel. It's good. This is good.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's a good jumping off way, and I also get
to learn about the booth of you hundreds of tabs.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, so what were you? So? What were you looking up?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Okay? So, like the first thing that I have, the
first tab that I have opened, is a movie called
I Remember Mama that my grandma always told me to watch.
It's like it's some old movie that She was like,
I love this movie. It reminds me of my mom.
You have to She would just tell me I have
to watch a bunch of movies. I was like, okay.
I also have a hard time remembering things, so opening
(14:47):
a new tab is a great way for me to
remember things when I then remember that I have them
open right right, right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Look.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I wanted to learn more about Catherine the Great because
I was watching The Great on Hulu, which was is
an excellent show, and I said, I want to learn
more about this broad got a tab open about pretty cool,
very very cool, very interesting, very progressive, very horny, very
horny lady.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I honey, progressive woman leader.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, and I like that about her, and I think
we need more of that. I have a really smart
friend who's a philosopher of physics who one time dropped
the phrase law of non contradiction and I said, oh,
sounds like something I should also know, so I can
start saying the law of non contradiction around people and
sound very smart. Every time I read the first paragraph
(15:35):
of the wiki entry, I'm like, we're already I'm already lost.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, it's like you're going to.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Kind of yeah. I'm like, today's the day I will
understand it, and then I don't. But I keep it
open because I go, one day you will understand.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I believe myself.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know, one day I won't understand. And uh, what
else do we have?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I believe nothing called the law non contradiction.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I was gonna say a lot of songs I want
to remember, or like the lyrics a year where I go,
how do I how do I get that? How do
I get that song?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah? And uh, those are I mean, you've nailed it that.
I feel like I know you.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Thank you so much. The last thing I looked up
was the Watts Uprising, because I watched Love and Mercy
and then went on a deep dive about learning about
the Beach Boys, and then went on a different deep
dive about learning about Charles Manson, and somehow the Wats
Rides came up in between all that, and I said,
something I should know more.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
About is Love and Mercy. Good?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It was good? Yeah, I liked it a lot. Paul
d'anno agreed.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Was the wait because what was what was Manson's deal
with the Beach Boys? Weren't they didn't they cross paths, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
He he globbed onto Dennis Wilson, the drummer, drummer and
was like he was just trying to get to a
record deal. And so through kind of like the free
love movement and Dennis Wilson letting a bunch of the
Manson family live in his house to the point where
he was like, actually, guys, I'm selling my house, so
(17:09):
you have to move out. Like he wouldn't kick them out,
he was like, I'm actually moving so you gotta go.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Oh did that move? He's like, I don't know how
to talk directly to them, like.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Dude, I don't know, like the house got sold. I
guess you guys got.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
A Truly, it's like, my mom came home. She's so
mad that you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Guys are coming home. Everybody everybody out out, murder, family
out out.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
He also like fed them, kept them housed, and then
was also paying for all their medical bills because there
was a bunch of funereal disease going around because you
know they were Yeah, and so yeah, that's how that's
how they got connected.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That. Yeah, I love that He went to the Tate
to the house where Sharon Tate was because he had
been there before when a record producer was there and like, yeah,
that's he was just a guy with a song and
a dream man and.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Crazy race war ideas. Yeah it was nuts, but yeah,
he you know, he would he stopped at nothing for fame.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah. The songs are bad, by the way, they're spooky
because they have that like Beach Boys reverb thing going on.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, but it just feels like, honestly, it sounds like
a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like if I mean, if the Beach Boy,
if the Beach Boys had started a murder called I
guess their their music would also be spooky.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
That ship would bang, though.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
For sure they were doing that wall of sound situation.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I remember dating someone who earnestly would listen to that
Manson ship and I.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Was like, Oh, tell us more about that.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She was cool.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
She was cool.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It was like I was like, oh, you listen to
all kinds of music. Have you heard Charles Manson? And
I was like what, And that's like that was when
I first got put onto it and I heard I
was like, Yo, this is fucking weird. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
That whole there's that band Cult in the thoughts that
were like pretty good and they had like that same
sort of jangly, reverb heavy sound, and like their whole
aesthetic was like we're people in a cult and we
sing about songs that people in a cult would sing about. Yeah,
(19:23):
and that lasted for like a couple of singles. You
would think that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Would be like a total maybe grayish flag or reddish
flag maybe, but very sweet, person very empathetic. Just like
in the beginning, I was like, oh my god, this
motherfucker gonna kill me. And now they're like, that's so od.
They were in healthcare with like unfortunate people. I'm like, Okay,
you just got a lot of texture to your musical taste.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Texture is a beautiful adjectivity, euphemism.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah, weird, very.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Kind someone a video I watched recently. If y'all or
any of your followers are into like an educational deep
dive video, which that is a lot out of my
YouTube watch history Sean Munger m U n g e
R on YouTube. He does like three there are three
hour videos villas, but they're so good. They're very educational.
(20:12):
He does everything from like a geographic perspective, so like
he'll tell a story and kind of drop you into
Google Earth places and show you how the story unfolds
through that as like visuals.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's very interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So I watched his like Charles Manson mini doc I'll
call it, and he told the story through the geography
of the Manson family, which was really neat.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
That sounds really cool. Is it a mini doc because
the screen is small? Or is it three hours long?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It's two and a half hours long. Okay, so I
get it's not a mini doc. It's a Maxie Dog.
It's mini mini screen Maxie time.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
There it is, right, Yeah, right, let's take a quick
break and we'll come back and talk about your overrated
and underrated. We'll be right back and we're back, Rachel.
We also like to ask our guests what's something you
(21:10):
think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I well, honestly, in my heart, the first thing I
wanted to say was drag. Drag is art, which I
don't know that it's underrated really because it's it's in
pop culture in such a significant way, and yet I
still think there's not enough respect drag is an art.
So that's that's honestly my answer.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, everyone should watch Paris is burning.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You know, everyone should watch Paris is Burning. I also
brought so many videos of like my favorite drag queen
moments to share as stuff that I will constantly reference
in conversation and be like, well, no one knows what
I'm talking about, so I have to go show you
this to get the context.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
But that's what most of your tabs are that are
open ye references you.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, please look at Exhibit A. You'll understand the reference
I just made in conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I think a runner up though, for underrated is many tongs,
many tongues, Like in many kitchen you don't need a
long tongue. Sometimes you just need the mini.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
What do you use the mini tongus for? I'm curious,
Thank you for asking.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, if you have just a like potato a hash
brown right that you're cooking in your oven and you
want to forget.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That the size of a McDonald's, you.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Just get the mini tongue because then you're not dealing
with the whole spatula in the oven that's wild and loose,
you know. But yeah, and then you can use it
if you have a piece of toast that it's like
lodged in your toaster don't put your knife in there.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Please, don't put in yeah, don't put metal in there?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well like plastic rubber.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, wait, you don't have you don't have any man.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I'm trying to think of like how many were going here,
Like is it's just the one that just like a
bent piece of plastic or does it happen?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
So there's your I feel like your typical tongues are
maybe like eleven inches twelve inches long. Yeah, we're talking like.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think yeah, I
think I know what you're talking about, and they could they.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Could be just a similar piece. Look in his eyes,
he knows.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, many many tongues, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
He just for three whiskeys like this.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
With my thumb.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
No, not with your thumb, that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I we have like multiple sides of tongues, and I
have found myself using the ones for the outdoor grill.
They're like super long, like to avoid having your eyelashes
and eyebrows and stuff, smart, like around the kitchen because
you know, I don't know where you're like your kid, Yeah,
(23:54):
just stands. I'm gonna need to move this piece of
furniture to use this. But we're gonna I love it.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's it's like your own grabber.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, I'll just yeah, everything's with that tongue. If you
had to like create a like thing that permanently became
a tool that you could use on your body, like,
what tool would you use, like you know, like.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Incorporated as part of your physiology. Yeah, like you know
a lighter for arm. Oh yeah, lighter is a great answer.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yea is a really good answer.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Because you could that's like you can you you can
help out and you can be like, yo, I can
burn this mother down.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
If I brush up against a piece of furniture weird.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
By Yeah, yeah, don't funk with me.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
That's why I was like a knife is too crazy
because depending on where the appendage is, that's like you're
hurting people, you're ripping through stuff. I would say, I
mean a tong would be great because that's an extra arm,
that's an.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Extra appendage and resistant too.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I think we all learned scissor hands or pretty inconvenient, right,
although you don't want you know, if you get really
good with those, that could be Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Unless you want to be a fierce hairstylist, you would
blow up on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You know that, Oh yeah, absolutely, any of the ship
he did, like whether it's like headge trimming or fucking
hairstyles if you pulled up like with your fucking scissor fingers,
people like this is and this is the person I
get my political takes from. And I'm glad I'm on
the right side of history.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
What uh? What's some of these things over it?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I think I think food content creators. I've had a
real beef with food content creators. Do you guys follow
food content creators this as part of your day day viewing.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I don't follow them, but I am the content is
served to me via algorithm a lot on like TikTok
or Instagram, because I do. I like cooking so like
I couldn't name like specific influencers in terms of like
the people that do the cooking, but I mean I
I do see those sort of like viral recipes or
like when people are claiming to invent a new thing
that like people from another country have been doing for.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Like mosta I would say, even like recipe inventors or
whatever I can respect, but like people who specifically review
food or like restaurant reviewers, I would.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Say they got it.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah not, I guess, not necessarily, like food content creators
in general, but specifically people who are like today, I'm
going to go review this, and then they go review
the restaurant, they show you the food, they take a bite,
and they go, wow, it's really good.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Well I could buy I can go do that.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
That's crazy, not a single adjective insight. You're not going
to tell me anything about what this food is, where
it's coming from, who's making it. Who's like zero research,
just going today, Am I going to try this coffee shop?
And they take a sip of the macha and they.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Go, wow, that's nice.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah, And that's it's I need more from y'all. I
need you to step your pussies up as it were.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You know, just give us, give me one more word
than good, please one more.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
It's the kind of people who would go like, oh,
the machia tastes like machia, and you're like, well, yeah,
what's that telling me?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah? Esque about who wrote that?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
I don't know, man, something, but you see it too,
like when people always do like the cheese spread, like
the threading of melted cheese, you know, like this this
reminds you of one.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Was like, okay, like look at this worth the spot.
They're known for their grilled cheese.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Wow, look at that.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Look at that and then they eat and they're like, yeah, cheesy, Okay,
what else?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Is it? Perfectly toasted?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Is the chese sharp? Is it? Just like cheese is
a world of talking about We're talking about flavor profiles earlier,
right of chocolate. I'm like cheese, wide range vocabulary we
can use to describe it. And I love cheese, so
I want to know more about it other than like
the cheese exists on the bread.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, and it is it is. I think it's basically
at it so grilled to like very like grilled y.
It's like been exposed to like a lot of heat,
so it's like kind of more like gooey than like
hard cheese. So yeah, I would say gooey too.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Anyway, step it off, holes, yes, step it up, you
Boordan fan.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Is that like the level we're looking for, Jonathan Gold.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Not even because that's something that I don't need everyone. Yeah,
at that level, but I just need more than it
was good. If you're going to brand yourself as a
food reviewer, I need more than this was good or
this was bad because I can go do that and
I do like to go do that, so I don't
need you're not providing me a service. If you're going
to provide me a service, one more word about it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, or you just be like it's good but like
not as good as the pictures looked as the way
I think I'm great.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, yeah, we've sort of level set here, bomb and
dank as like that was.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
California VA California Food Reviews.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Damn it, it's really bomb. Actually, dude, this ship is dank,
Like that's actually below denk. It depends, it depends dank.
You know that all the dank question mark.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, dank depends if like weed is involved or not.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, right, right right, yeah, Like anyone who said food
was dank, ninety eight percent chance they were a weed
smoker too, And then like the two percent that did it,
they're like, what you don't call this bank?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Did you guys both grow up in California?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I grew up in La Yeah, I grew up in
the valley. Okay, I grew up all over the place,
but never in California.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Okay. That was such a I always ask people who
like grew up, at least in California, or especially in
southern California, because in high school, like Bomb and Dank
were such part of the vernacular of like Bomb, Dank,
bust a mission.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, miss dude, it's a mish. Now, you guys could
be making this up so to get me to agree
to it and then be like.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
No, miss dude, go on a fucking miss.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Did you ever call like instead of saying that people
were hot, like girls were hot, they were breezy?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
No, no, this is one thing. Yeah, was that a
long beast thing?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I guess I'm trying to figure out if it was
a long beach thing. But it was like she's breezy.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, well it could be aged because like I'm forty,
so I'm just.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I know, I'm a man.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Oh I'll be thirty four in December. So it's like,
I guess a couple.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I feel like, yeah, I may I may have just
missed the breezy movement.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
But if if Bomb and Dank are still in there,
I feel.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Like Dank are timeless. Yeah exactly, I would just say
oh yeah yeah, yeah, like we would also, what else
did we say?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
What should we say back? Like Breeze making out scamming
anything like scanning, Yeah, scamming, scamming, scamming, like, yes, scamming.
I was like a robotic way we scammed. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Sex. At one point, I remember everyone was saying tax
we taxed.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, that really like to me, to my ears, sounds
like some ship that would like have you ever watched
the movie Juno and the way they talk. Everyone's like,
nobody fucking talks like that. It's like, yes, no, actually
they did for like a year, probably when Diablo Cody
(31:42):
was in high school, you know, like that everybody else's
high school slang sounds completely made up and fabricated text.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, we would just say hit you know, smash you
know smash typical.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, I actually do no whizz smashing this sand Also,
we used to say even I remember early on, like
early high school.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
We will still be like they did it.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, we should bring that, we should bring that back.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
With Project twenty twenty five, I'm sure that we will
be banned from using real descriptors so that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah, no, no, no language, no porn.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, under his eye.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, gonna be so fun. Hey, speaking of that, just
real quick thing on the election, because this is something
that is controversial at this moment, at least the question of, hey,
what happened with election? And with ninety nine percent of
votes in Donald Trump has seventy one million votes, He's
(32:48):
gonna win the popular vote. Staggering, depressing, horrifying number that
is still behind the seventy four million he got when
he lost as the income in twenty twenty. I'm seeing
there's this one map that a lot of people are
liking to point to where it's full of red arrows,
and it yeah, it's saying, look, look, every America all
(33:11):
moved to the right. They moved so far to the right,
and because they're evil everyone around you, And so that
I think that's just important context that he actually got
fewer votes this time around than he did last time.
It is just that the Democrats got far fewer votes
(33:32):
than they did last time, far fewer.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yea more than a right word shift. It feels like
absolutely just yeah, Democrats creator yeah. So it's also the
answer to like, how can you think the Democrats problem
was running far too far to the right, And I
think that that's your answer. They didn't do anything to
turn out Democrats right, which tends to be one of
(33:54):
one of their strategic shortcomings is that they but they
did convince like forty five people that it was worth
the Republicans it was worth voting for Kamala is the
statistically negligible the dad and daughter Cheney show that, Yeah,
trouncing around towards the home stretch forty Yeah, yeah, if
they actually got fewer Republican voters than they did last time.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But yeah, so I don't know that. I think that's
just relevant context because the Democratic strategist class is going
to come in and be like, America went so far
to the right. We just didn't go right hard enough,
right exactly, and like what we did, what we said
(34:38):
was the right answer. It's just that you didn't listen
to us enough. We should have gone. Oh, I don't know.
I don't know how they could have gone further to
the right. They had Dick Cheney, like, how the fuck
could you have possibly done that harder?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
But I feel like the only difference between like Kamala
and Trump this is we're being hyperbolic here, but is
that like kamalawood under sentences with Sleigh where I'm like,
y'all have the exact same platform, but Luckily Charlie x
X called her brat, so it made it like somewhat
palatable to young progressive.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yes, yeah, I think the biggest difference would have been
it there. It would have been a much slower de
evolution towards whatever Trump is going to bring. I think
is the biggest difference. And Trump is just an absolute accelerant.
But I think, if anything, what we the biggest fear
with Biden was he was saying I am the I
am the bridge. I am merely the bridge to a
(35:38):
new way of doing things, and like we got on
that bridge and like he crossed it, and you're like,
this is this a trick a trick bridge because I
crossed it and I'm on the other I'm on the
side I just came from.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Let me go back drawing of like a bridge, Like
what fucking bridge is this? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
So, I mean, you know, there's still there's also a
lot of people being like so much there's still votes missing,
and like, yeah, there are certain places where all the
votes have not been tabulated yet, but they're in states
that have already been decided.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Like it makes me so sad, Like part of me
was like because I did not no fans did not
have hope that Kamala was going to win this. Like
for a long time, I've been like, this is Trump
is going to win this again, just like statistically speaking,
and also like if we think about who's if we
think about donators right to the Republican Party to the
Democratic Party, it was leaning more Republican the entire time.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
So it's like, yeah, when other billionaires, I'm like, how'd
y'all know?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yeah, when when when black Rock is dumping money into
the Republican candidates? Yeah, I think so. But like part
of me was like, man, the next week is going
to be crazy for like bluing on conspiracy theory of
like they're not done counting the votes, and it's like, guys,
we got it.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
We just I'm sorry that you can hang on to
this version. But I'm like, I think we've we've seen
the sort of the full predictable end of how establishment
of democratic part any politics what's gonna work, and this
is it.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I will just say all of these are like placeholder
takes until like Muller she wrote, hasn't really weighed in
quite yet, and so I'm just waiting to see where
we come down on that one. Ye, yeah, we'll see, Yeah,
that's always But I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I think the other the other thing too is like,
aside from our people moving to the right, I also
just based on again the kinds of voters that have
emerged in this like in this specific electorate, it feels
that there are so many people who are just absolutely
completely disconnected from politics. And I think to couple that
(37:41):
with also just the systematic dismantling we've seen of public
education over the last few decades leads us to a
place where like, yeah, we have we have millions of
people in this country too who just kind of check headlines,
maybe see what's pop and on social media, not like
digging deep. And so when you're presented with a binary
(38:02):
of the status quo in terms of what you've known
for the last few years and the other form of
the status quo, people are just going, well, I think
that one's different. So maybe that's the case, but I mean, yeah,
that but we're I mean a lot of these people
and I mean everyone unfortunately is going to bear the
brunt of all of this. But like, I think there's
there's just so much I already see people be like,
(38:23):
what the fuck is wrong? With all these people and
it's like, man, this problem is so much bigger than
like who campaigned on what. It's like the conditions that
have been created in this country sort of have created
an electorate like this which are going to be susceptible
to like disengagement, misinformation and the like.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So, yeah, the mainstreamia, Like in case anyone was confused
about like how little people are paying attention to the
mainstream media. It's been pointed out the Google searches for
did Joe Biden drop out were like spiking in pennsylvani
Yah in like the days leading up to the election.
I like one of my friends, you know, door knocking
over the weekend in Arizona, and a person they talked
(39:08):
to is like, oh, yeah, I meant to vote for them,
And he was like, what what do you mean. She's like, Oh,
it's over, isn't it. Like they didn't know that the
election hadn't happened yet, Like I think a lot of
people have just tuned the fuck out from everything, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Right, So, which I think, Yeah, that's what makes it
even more infuriating when then, like the Harris campaign's plan
is like, oh, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney. This will break
through to people when some people are like, Bro, you
think I don't even know if Joe Biden is running, right,
you think I'm just telling like, oh, Dick change. Yeah,
(39:47):
a Bush's VP is oh okay mmmmmm. That's like for
such a quite a broad tent miles, I think, yeah,
that's for such a specific voter that only like this
consultant class. Oh that they're like, this is how like
I'm talking to people who were like also like semi
retired millionaires basically, and like this could be a way
(40:08):
to speak to them and again rather than talking about
like just meaningful shit like can you deliver on things
that affect people's again material existence?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And this wasn't the case. Yeah. Also, beginning on Monday,
the term who was running for president started trending.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
So that's the people who are like, on my homeworks
do tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yeah, which that was me when I had homework. You know, Yeah,
I don't know if like that homework sucks. Yeah. Other
terms that were trending is Trump a Republican? Can I
vote online? Should be able to? By the way that
last one.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
But yeah, yeah, that's just that's just so I mean,
because you don't. You don't search those things as like
a bit you know what I mean, that's that's not
a journalist.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
No, that's am I am I targeted. Yeah, hurry question.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Pregnant, Yeah, yes you are pregnant.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
So I think like that's why I just like again,
I mean that there's so much more data to come through.
I'm personally not ready for that phase of talking about
it because it's still it's still trickling in. But we did,
we did know these things at the very least coming up.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll
finish up with some more news. We'll be right back,
and we're back, and a writer, jam the lovely Canadian
(41:44):
that he is, was this morning straining as hard as
possible to find some hope here. And so what we
have is Mark Robinson lost in North Carolina. I think
we knew that was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
God, I don't know even then, right, Yeah, I don't know.
He somehow missed porn guy Black Nazi one.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
But no, no, he lost.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
He lost handily.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah, he lost by a lot. Sarah McBride has become
the first openly transgender person elected to Congress all right,
that's a win. That's a win. Ten states had ballot
measures to protect or expand abortion access, and seven of
them the measure for abortion rights one. Yeah, including in Missouri,
as we talked about on yesterday's Trending episode, first state
(42:32):
to completely ban abortion after the Supreme Court undid row
and it now become the first state to overturn the ban.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah, I mean, but except I mean in Florida got close,
but again they had to reach a sixty percent threshold
and missed it by like a couple percentage points.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Which was that was interesting because I have a friend
who's from Florida, and even she this morning was saying that,
like it was confusing the way they had to reach
a certain threshold to overturn it, but a different measure,
had you read a different percentage threshold to be overturned. Yeah,
is that how that works?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
I mean they totally that's still totally works everywhere. Yeah. Yeah.
You have to have multiple thresholds for democracy to work
and kind of demised so that the people on their toes. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
a trail mix of thresholds, right right, right, that's an
elabyrinth thing. That's all you need. But Yeah, that one
(43:28):
was very depressing because they had raised one hundred million
dollars to reverse the Florida near total ban on abortion,
and they came extremely close, but because of arbitrary like
institutional power in Florida, they were able to say fifty
seven not enough for this version of democracy, which sucks.
(43:51):
Florida was, you know, a place that a lot of
people in the south, like in southern states, were going
to get reproductive healthcare before it was banned. So yeah,
that is awful. But there are some small footholds. And
again we talked yesterday Rashida Talib and ilhan Omar, both
(44:16):
one with like over seventy percent of the vote in
their respective elections. Those scary beliefs and convictions they have
the mainstream media tells us are incredibly unpopular, turned out
not to be incredibly I mean.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
So much, so much, like like just basic again, stuff
that helps people, like minimum wage, those kinds of things
did really well. And then then they're like, ah, but
maybe Trump for president. And I think that's just that
it's so revealing about like people can connect the dots
for that, like oh, should I make more money? Yes,
(44:56):
but then when but then again when you have like
all this slick campaigning stuf that just kind of completely
misses the mark of like connecting people to what you
can or can't do. I mean, in this case, like
I you know, even kamala Is like primary candidacy wasn't
quite as you know, progressive at least for my taste,
but even like but even to see her shrink from
(45:17):
that and just listen to whoever was you know, she
she inherited from the Biden campaign to be like, let's
fucking pretend you never even said stuff like single payer
like universal health care. Let's just completely avoid that or
just be really mum on like transgender people's you know,
right to have like gender affirming uh like medical care,
(45:38):
like just just just about that rather.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Criticized Trump for supporting gender affirming care prisoner.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Truly, that's what was so sort of fucked up, especially
to watch, like, you know, during the World series, you
get these weird Trump ads or just like kamalas for
the trans people, and you're like, these, this is how
you're setting up the stakes for people, and like that
was so uncomfortable to fucking watch. But yeah, I mean
now yeah this this we're here now and we're here. Yeah,
(46:09):
it's it's again. It's just so fucking difficult, like this
is still hasn't even twenty four hours, no, like sitting
with this like reality. So again, like I apologize on
the other pisode, I'm sorry if I'm not as articulate
as I can because I'm just kind of like trying
to stave off just like being fully like nihilistic about
everything or like more so than than normal.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
Yeah. Yeah, did either of you watch the election results
like on TV? Rachel, did you watch on TV? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (46:38):
I went to a bar right watch right, so I
was there. I'm actually done sorry, Miles. By the ads
during the World Series, I like and maybe it's because
I'm not in the sports world, but even like if
I tune in to watch the Super Bowl and there's
ads for God, I'm always like, y'all believe it in
(46:58):
this This is crazy? Like how how how cool that
you're doing that? That's so nuts. But it's like that
that is totally the number one fear bongering tactic, right
is like all your kids are going to be trans now,
they're also going to go fight in Ukraine, and we're
fighting for you to feed them raw milk. At home
(47:19):
on your own educational system.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Right, yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, although Jesus was pretty breezy, yeah,
so crazy, yeah, breezy for this one. If you met
this breezy h Rachel on the Daily Geist. Where can
people find you? Follow you, experience your comedy, all that
(47:44):
good stuff.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Yes, I'm at Rachel Friedland r A C H E
l E. Actually at the end Friedland the words for
land together on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, you'll find me a
love it. I have a comedy album now called Certified Delight,
which I am in which it is so please go

Speaker 1 (48:04):
Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
I would just shout out that YouTube channel again, mister

Wait, what's crazy is I actually just pulled that up
to have as a like sound clip because I miss
I missed that the d scream. I feel like that's
actually something that we're missing in politics now, is a
rally prime.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was like when the mainstream media had the power
to cancel someone on a win, just be like, your
campaign is over, asshole, because we got a funny little
clip of you sounding wild. Yeah yeah, no more mainstream media.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Looks like everybody stopped listening to you, and it's funny.

Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It is Thursday, November seventh, twenty twenty four. Miles. I
can't wait to find out what the national International days
are today.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I know, I know, I feel so fucking stupid. Saying
these right now, given everything that's going on. But it
is National retin All Day, so shout out this fucking skincare. Okay,
it's also these days, fucking suck dude. National Bittersweet Chocolate
with Almonds Day.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, man, that's what I'm aware of today mainly.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And also yeah, National men make Dinner Day. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Wow, Hey, you've earned it, fellas, go out there and uh,
you know, spend all your political capital. God man, people
who like dark chocolate are so proud of that fact.
It's like such a weird political cause. But there's why
I actually like my chocolate to taste bad.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I like I like Hershey's Special Dark because that's the
closest I'll get like real dark chocolate.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I'm like, I like my candy to be so sweet.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
What's what's happening with the Hershey's one?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, Yeah, that's the special dark Special Dark I'm okay with.
But like if you go to Trader Joe's or some
shit and like they're like dark chocolate stuff, there's stuff
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
A little too bittersweet for me. Anyway. I just like
I'm baby, so I like a little melt in your
mouth milk chocolate. And when people like your chocolate lover
like yes, oh so you like like bittersweet dark chocolate
with no sugar in it, that like makes makes you
have a makes your face contort. I'm like no, they're like, oh,
then you don't really like fuck with chocolate.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Is it? Because they're supposed to be like more of
a flavor profile with your yeah, dark chocolate, and it's
like yeah, like the finer things and you're.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Like probably good.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's like for a wine, I'm drinking a smearanof ice
bro that is the.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Equivalent of my taste and chocolate is the tannins. Yeah
to wine experts, I prefer smearnoff ice. Yeah. Anyways, Uh,
my name's Jack O'Brien AKA. I'm not gonna do an AKA.
I do just want to shout out all the folks
in the Zeit gang who like still brought it this
(03:32):
morning just workman like showed up for work halcion salad,
dropping a banger in there. I just I don't have
it in me to do a super califragilistic xbalidocious AKA
about We'll get to it. The Trump existential crisis. I
think I will. I just don't have a song in

had we had to.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Get on Mike. It's Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, we still have to get on Mike because I
feel like the only way to really for me, at
least personally, to kind of have a just reckoning with
the reality is to talk about it as much as
I just kind of like, maybe I'll just fucking scroll
the internet and ship for you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
No, not doing that, but I can't.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, I'm putting it down. But anyway, it's great to
be here. It's Miles great. I still am the showgun
with no gun Ankersham.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
We're talking about gin and juice first, Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I had a bad experience with gin as like a
sixteen year old where I just drank warm gin for
a whole night and like was very sick for a
whole week and then never real a week. Yeah, man,
I was like alcohol poisoned. Oh no, yeah oh yeah yeah,

about yeah, like how many ads do I have imprinted
in my brain of.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like watching Gang a tanger Ray, right, you know what
I mean? It also blew my mind was like it's
not with a G, that's a Q, which is.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Kind of crazy, dude.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, yeah, why is that? Because Q is the classy
version of G. You know, yeah, like a real classy.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I thought tanger Ray was like a cocktail with like tang.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, it does have I mean the marketing I once
read a magazine article about like the marketing guy behind
Gray Goose, and he was also the marketing guy behind
what's the what's the thing that the like a parrot
or the digestif that like everybody takes.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Like a borrow or yeah Fornett.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
No no, like even a long time ago, the green.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Oh oh no no no, the German one with the Jagermeister.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, Like this person was just like made both of
those huge and like I feel, I feel like the
the smartest brains in America in the late twentieth century.
We're just going into marketing liquor, like naming tanger Ray
and you know, like.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
This there like it's fine French wheat or something with
gray Goose to set it apart, like oh.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Shit, yeah, well goddamn fine French vodkaan in a wine bottle.
Don't mind if I do yeah with the cork. All right, Well, Rachel,
we do really appreciate you showing up, Yeah, record with
us today. It's been lovely getting to meet you. We're
going to get to know you a little bit better
in moment. First, some of the things we're talking about, well,
(10:04):
just look at the overall, like some of the metrics
that we do, we're looking at that. Yeah, just a
couple of very basic ones. Also Google searches that show
us just where the electorate was at in the day
leading up to the election. We will peer through the
bullshit to try to strain and find a couple of
(10:25):
bits of good news and just like an overall, our
writer JM actually watched like TV election results coming in.
They didn't watch them. I didn't watch it on TV.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
No, man, fucking killed my brain watching channel.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It sounds like it was a real.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Dude, the fucking Daily Show thing was so hard to watch.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I didn't want I went to a bar last night.
It wasn't super crowded. They were also still doing trivia,
which I said, love the commitment. Loveday Trivia night, which
is beautiful and was kind of a nice distraction to
be like we're playing trivia, but also the elections happening.
It was so quiet in there. I'm assuming because people
learn from twenty sixteen to be like, we're staying, we're
doing this in private.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Now we're not. We're not.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
There's a bar by me that was like, yeah, we're
not doing anything because we don't want to associate whatever
happens tonight with our bar in case it.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Goes very fair south and very it's a.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Very okay, good, good good. Yeah, don't let this be
the scene of absolute disappointment. I know somebody who like
was like having a viewing party, and I'm just like.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh yo, no, no. I couldn't even first, before everything
went to shit, I couldn't even look at food because
I was too nervous. And then once it started going
to shit, I was very glad I hadn't even thought
about food because I would not have. Yeah, it was bad,
but like to just be there doing like you know,
(11:55):
or dirvs Jesus in front of other people, just like
choking them down to sport.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Up a deviled egg. Yeah, I'm so glad I could
be in community.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Because I'd swallowed it whole like an aspirin because I
forgot to chew it. Anyways, all that plenty more, maybe
none of it. I don't know. We'll see what we
have the stamina to do.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But before we get to that therapy session, we don't
need people who are trying to be like, what can
we laugh?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Give us a week. I don't know, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I said psilocybin might take me to the next plane
of existence. I think for a little bit, I need
to I need something. I need some people to get
out in nature, touch grass. I'm gonna ride my bike
so fucking hard.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah, yeah, before we get to before we get to
the news, Rachel. We do like to get to know
our guests a little bit better by asking them, what
is something from your search history?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, so something about me is that I'm a bit
of a freaking nerd. Hate to say it, but I
always love to google a little something and I will,
like currently I have sixty three tabs open on my phone.
Just I just hear a word and I go, let
me search that really quick, because I will come back
and learn so much about this. Do I know have
(13:22):
some of these been open since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yes, hell yeah, I have one hundred and eighteen tabs open.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
So okay, all right, I don't like to learn as
much as you guys got Oh No, I'm just I'm
it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I'm bad at following through on shit like cleaning up
my tabs. A seventy six or Magic game from last
season still open on my tabs, like that's that's that?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That could be?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
This could be a new like segment or like oldest
tab on your phone they opened because my oldest one?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
What is this puppies alternative? I can't imagine what the
fuck I was thinking like four years ago? Yeah, mine
was something about Trump visiting a black church. Damn I've
opened hundred eighteen tab since fucking June. Okay anyway, Wow,
I need to sort it out. Sorry to make this
all about ust Rachel. It's good. This is good.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's a good jumping off way, and I also get
to learn about the booth of you hundreds of tabs.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, so what were you? So? What were you looking up?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Okay? So, like the first thing that I have, the
first tab that I have opened, is a movie called
I Remember Mama that my grandma always told me to watch.
It's like it's some old movie that She was like,
I love this movie. It reminds me of my mom.
You have to She would just tell me I have
to watch a bunch of movies. I was like, okay.
I also have a hard time remembering things, so opening
(14:47):
a new tab is a great way for me to
remember things when I then remember that I have them
open right right, right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Look.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I wanted to learn more about Catherine the Great because
I was watching The Great on Hulu, which was is
an excellent show, and I said, I want to learn
more about this broad got a tab open about pretty cool,
very very cool, very interesting, very progressive, very horny, very
horny lady.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And I honey, progressive woman leader.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, and I like that about her, and I think
we need more of that. I have a really smart
friend who's a philosopher of physics who one time dropped
the phrase law of non contradiction and I said, oh,
sounds like something I should also know, so I can
start saying the law of non contradiction around people and
sound very smart. Every time I read the first paragraph
(15:35):
of the wiki entry, I'm like, we're already I'm already lost.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, it's like you're going to.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Kind of yeah. I'm like, today's the day I will
understand it, and then I don't. But I keep it
open because I go, one day you will understand.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I believe myself.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You know, one day I won't understand. And uh, what
else do we have?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I believe nothing called the law non contradiction.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I was gonna say a lot of songs I want
to remember, or like the lyrics a year where I go,
how do I how do I get that? How do
I get that song?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah? And uh, those are I mean, you've nailed it that.
I feel like I know you.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Thank you so much. The last thing I looked up
was the Watts Uprising, because I watched Love and Mercy
and then went on a deep dive about learning about
the Beach Boys, and then went on a different deep
dive about learning about Charles Manson, and somehow the Wats
Rides came up in between all that, and I said,
something I should know more.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
About is Love and Mercy. Good?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It was good? Yeah, I liked it a lot. Paul
d'anno agreed.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Was the wait because what was what was Manson's deal
with the Beach Boys? Weren't they didn't they cross paths, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
He he globbed onto Dennis Wilson, the drummer, drummer and
was like he was just trying to get to a
record deal. And so through kind of like the free
love movement and Dennis Wilson letting a bunch of the
Manson family live in his house to the point where
he was like, actually, guys, I'm selling my house, so
(17:09):
you have to move out. Like he wouldn't kick them out,
he was like, I'm actually moving so you gotta go.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Oh did that move? He's like, I don't know how
to talk directly to them, like.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Dude, I don't know, like the house got sold. I
guess you guys got.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
A Truly, it's like, my mom came home. She's so
mad that you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Guys are coming home. Everybody everybody out out, murder, family
out out.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
He also like fed them, kept them housed, and then
was also paying for all their medical bills because there
was a bunch of funereal disease going around because you
know they were Yeah, and so yeah, that's how that's
how they got connected.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That. Yeah, I love that He went to the Tate
to the house where Sharon Tate was because he had
been there before when a record producer was there and like, yeah,
that's he was just a guy with a song and
a dream man and.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Crazy race war ideas. Yeah it was nuts, but yeah,
he you know, he would he stopped at nothing for fame.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah. The songs are bad, by the way, they're spooky
because they have that like Beach Boys reverb thing going on.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, but it just feels like, honestly, it sounds like
a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like if I mean, if the Beach Boy,
if the Beach Boys had started a murder called I
guess their their music would also be spooky.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
That ship would bang, though.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
For sure they were doing that wall of sound situation.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I remember dating someone who earnestly would listen to that
Manson ship and I.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Was like, Oh, tell us more about that.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She was cool.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
She was cool.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It was like I was like, oh, you listen to
all kinds of music. Have you heard Charles Manson? And
I was like what, And that's like that was when
I first got put onto it and I heard I
was like, Yo, this is fucking weird. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
That whole there's that band Cult in the thoughts that
were like pretty good and they had like that same
sort of jangly, reverb heavy sound, and like their whole
aesthetic was like we're people in a cult and we
sing about songs that people in a cult would sing about. Yeah,
(19:23):
and that lasted for like a couple of singles. You
would think that.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Would be like a total maybe grayish flag or reddish
flag maybe, but very sweet, person very empathetic. Just like
in the beginning, I was like, oh my god, this
motherfucker gonna kill me. And now they're like, that's so od.
They were in healthcare with like unfortunate people. I'm like, Okay,
you just got a lot of texture to your musical taste.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Texture is a beautiful adjectivity, euphemism.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah, weird, very.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Kind someone a video I watched recently. If y'all or
any of your followers are into like an educational deep
dive video, which that is a lot out of my
YouTube watch history Sean Munger m U n g e
R on YouTube. He does like three there are three
hour videos villas, but they're so good. They're very educational.
(20:12):
He does everything from like a geographic perspective, so like
he'll tell a story and kind of drop you into
Google Earth places and show you how the story unfolds
through that as like visuals.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's very interesting.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
So I watched his like Charles Manson mini doc I'll
call it, and he told the story through the geography
of the Manson family, which was really neat.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
That sounds really cool. Is it a mini doc because
the screen is small? Or is it three hours long?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It's two and a half hours long. Okay, so I
get it's not a mini doc. It's a Maxie Dog.
It's mini mini screen Maxie time.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
There it is, right, Yeah, right, let's take a quick
break and we'll come back and talk about your overrated
and underrated. We'll be right back and we're back, Rachel.
We also like to ask our guests what's something you
(21:10):
think is underrated?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I well, honestly, in my heart, the first thing I
wanted to say was drag. Drag is art, which I
don't know that it's underrated really because it's it's in
pop culture in such a significant way, and yet I
still think there's not enough respect drag is an art.
So that's that's honestly my answer.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Yeah, everyone should watch Paris is burning.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
You know, everyone should watch Paris is Burning. I also
brought so many videos of like my favorite drag queen
moments to share as stuff that I will constantly reference
in conversation and be like, well, no one knows what
I'm talking about, so I have to go show you
this to get the context.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
But that's what most of your tabs are that are
open ye references you.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, please look at Exhibit A. You'll understand the reference
I just made in conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I think a runner up though, for underrated is many tongs,
many tongues, Like in many kitchen you don't need a
long tongue. Sometimes you just need the mini.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
What do you use the mini tongus for? I'm curious,
Thank you for asking.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, if you have just a like potato a hash
brown right that you're cooking in your oven and you
want to forget.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That the size of a McDonald's, you.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Just get the mini tongue because then you're not dealing
with the whole spatula in the oven that's wild and loose,
you know. But yeah, and then you can use it
if you have a piece of toast that it's like
lodged in your toaster don't put your knife in there.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Please, don't put in yeah, don't put metal in there?
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Well like plastic rubber.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, wait, you don't have you don't have any man.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I'm trying to think of like how many were going here,
Like is it's just the one that just like a
bent piece of plastic or does it happen?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
So there's your I feel like your typical tongues are
maybe like eleven inches twelve inches long. Yeah, we're talking like.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think yeah, I
think I know what you're talking about, and they could they.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Could be just a similar piece. Look in his eyes,
he knows.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, many many tongues, yep.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
He just for three whiskeys like this.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
With my thumb.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
No, not with your thumb, that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I we have like multiple sides of tongues, and I
have found myself using the ones for the outdoor grill.
They're like super long, like to avoid having your eyelashes
and eyebrows and stuff, smart, like around the kitchen because
you know, I don't know where you're like your kid, Yeah,
(23:54):
just stands. I'm gonna need to move this piece of
furniture to use this. But we're gonna I love it.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's it's like your own grabber.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, I'll just yeah, everything's with that tongue. If you
had to like create a like thing that permanently became
a tool that you could use on your body, like,
what tool would you use, like you know, like.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Incorporated as part of your physiology. Yeah, like you know
a lighter for arm. Oh yeah, lighter is a great answer.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yea is a really good answer.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Because you could that's like you can you you can
help out and you can be like, yo, I can
burn this mother down.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
If I brush up against a piece of furniture weird.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
By Yeah, yeah, don't funk with me.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
That's why I was like a knife is too crazy
because depending on where the appendage is, that's like you're
hurting people, you're ripping through stuff. I would say, I
mean a tong would be great because that's an extra arm,
that's an.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Extra appendage and resistant too.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I think we all learned scissor hands or pretty inconvenient, right,
although you don't want you know, if you get really
good with those, that could be Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Unless you want to be a fierce hairstylist, you would
blow up on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You know that, Oh yeah, absolutely, any of the ship
he did, like whether it's like headge trimming or fucking
hairstyles if you pulled up like with your fucking scissor fingers,
people like this is and this is the person I
get my political takes from. And I'm glad I'm on
the right side of history.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
What uh? What's some of these things over it?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I think I think food content creators. I've had a
real beef with food content creators. Do you guys follow
food content creators this as part of your day day viewing.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I don't follow them, but I am the content is
served to me via algorithm a lot on like TikTok
or Instagram, because I do. I like cooking so like
I couldn't name like specific influencers in terms of like
the people that do the cooking, but I mean I
I do see those sort of like viral recipes or
like when people are claiming to invent a new thing
that like people from another country have been doing for.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Like mosta I would say, even like recipe inventors or
whatever I can respect, but like people who specifically review
food or like restaurant reviewers, I would.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Say they got it.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Yeah not, I guess, not necessarily, like food content creators
in general, but specifically people who are like today, I'm
going to go review this, and then they go review
the restaurant, they show you the food, they take a bite,
and they go, wow, it's really good.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Well I could buy I can go do that.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
That's crazy, not a single adjective insight. You're not going
to tell me anything about what this food is, where
it's coming from, who's making it. Who's like zero research,
just going today, Am I going to try this coffee shop?
And they take a sip of the macha and they.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Go, wow, that's nice.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah, And that's it's I need more from y'all. I
need you to step your pussies up as it were.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
You know, just give us, give me one more word
than good, please one more.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
It's the kind of people who would go like, oh,
the machia tastes like machia, and you're like, well, yeah,
what's that telling me?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah? Esque about who wrote that?
Speaker 4 (27:22):
I don't know, man, something, but you see it too,
like when people always do like the cheese spread, like
the threading of melted cheese, you know, like this this
reminds you of one.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Was like, okay, like look at this worth the spot.
They're known for their grilled cheese.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Wow, look at that.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Look at that and then they eat and they're like, yeah, cheesy, Okay,
what else?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Is it? Perfectly toasted?
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Is the chese sharp? Is it? Just like cheese is
a world of talking about We're talking about flavor profiles earlier,
right of chocolate. I'm like cheese, wide range vocabulary we
can use to describe it. And I love cheese, so
I want to know more about it other than like
the cheese exists on the bread.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah, and it is it is. I think it's basically
at it so grilled to like very like grilled y.
It's like been exposed to like a lot of heat,
so it's like kind of more like gooey than like
hard cheese. So yeah, I would say gooey too.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Anyway, step it off, holes, yes, step it up, you
Boordan fan.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Is that like the level we're looking for, Jonathan Gold.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Not even because that's something that I don't need everyone. Yeah,
at that level, but I just need more than it
was good. If you're going to brand yourself as a
food reviewer, I need more than this was good or
this was bad because I can go do that and
I do like to go do that, so I don't
need you're not providing me a service. If you're going
to provide me a service, one more word about it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, or you just be like it's good but like
not as good as the pictures looked as the way
I think I'm great.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, yeah, we've sort of level set here, bomb and
dank as like that was.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
California VA California Food Reviews.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Damn it, it's really bomb. Actually, dude, this ship is dank,
Like that's actually below denk. It depends, it depends dank.
You know that all the dank question mark.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, dank depends if like weed is involved or not.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, right, right right, yeah, Like anyone who said food
was dank, ninety eight percent chance they were a weed
smoker too, And then like the two percent that did it,
they're like, what you don't call this bank?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Did you guys both grow up in California?
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I grew up in La Yeah, I grew up in
the valley. Okay, I grew up all over the place,
but never in California.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Okay. That was such a I always ask people who
like grew up, at least in California, or especially in
southern California, because in high school, like Bomb and Dank
were such part of the vernacular of like Bomb, Dank,
bust a mission.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, miss dude, it's a mish. Now, you guys could
be making this up so to get me to agree
to it and then be like.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
No, miss dude, go on a fucking miss.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Did you ever call like instead of saying that people
were hot, like girls were hot, they were breezy?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
No, no, this is one thing. Yeah, was that a
long beast thing?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I guess I'm trying to figure out if it was
a long beach thing. But it was like she's breezy.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, well it could be aged because like I'm forty,
so I'm just.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I know, I'm a man.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Oh I'll be thirty four in December. So it's like,
I guess a couple.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I feel like, yeah, I may I may have just
missed the breezy movement.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
But if if Bomb and Dank are still in there,
I feel.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Like Dank are timeless. Yeah exactly, I would just say
oh yeah yeah, yeah, like we would also, what else
did we say?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
What should we say back? Like Breeze making out scamming
anything like scanning, Yeah, scamming, scamming, scamming, like, yes, scamming.
I was like a robotic way we scammed. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Sex. At one point, I remember everyone was saying tax
we taxed.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, that really like to me, to my ears, sounds
like some ship that would like have you ever watched
the movie Juno and the way they talk. Everyone's like,
nobody fucking talks like that. It's like, yes, no, actually
they did for like a year, probably when Diablo Cody
(31:42):
was in high school, you know, like that everybody else's
high school slang sounds completely made up and fabricated text.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, we would just say hit you know, smash you
know smash typical.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Yeah, I actually do no whizz smashing this sand Also,
we used to say even I remember early on, like
early high school.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
We will still be like they did it.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, we should bring that, we should bring that back.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
With Project twenty twenty five, I'm sure that we will
be banned from using real descriptors so that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah, no, no, no language, no porn.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, under his eye.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, gonna be so fun. Hey, speaking of that, just
real quick thing on the election, because this is something
that is controversial at this moment, at least the question of, hey,
what happened with election? And with ninety nine percent of
votes in Donald Trump has seventy one million votes, He's
(32:48):
gonna win the popular vote. Staggering, depressing, horrifying number that
is still behind the seventy four million he got when
he lost as the income in twenty twenty. I'm seeing
there's this one map that a lot of people are
liking to point to where it's full of red arrows,
and it yeah, it's saying, look, look, every America all
(33:11):
moved to the right. They moved so far to the right,
and because they're evil everyone around you, And so that
I think that's just important context that he actually got
fewer votes this time around than he did last time.
It is just that the Democrats got far fewer votes
(33:32):
than they did last time, far fewer.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yea more than a right word shift. It feels like
absolutely just yeah, Democrats creator yeah. So it's also the
answer to like, how can you think the Democrats problem
was running far too far to the right, And I
think that that's your answer. They didn't do anything to
turn out Democrats right, which tends to be one of
(33:54):
one of their strategic shortcomings is that they but they
did convince like forty five people that it was worth
the Republicans it was worth voting for Kamala is the
statistically negligible the dad and daughter Cheney show that, Yeah,
trouncing around towards the home stretch forty Yeah, yeah, if
they actually got fewer Republican voters than they did last time.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But yeah, so I don't know that. I think that's
just relevant context because the Democratic strategist class is going
to come in and be like, America went so far
to the right. We just didn't go right hard enough,
right exactly, and like what we did, what we said
(34:38):
was the right answer. It's just that you didn't listen
to us enough. We should have gone. Oh, I don't know.
I don't know how they could have gone further to
the right. They had Dick Cheney, like, how the fuck
could you have possibly done that harder?
Speaker 3 (34:55):
But I feel like the only difference between like Kamala
and Trump this is we're being hyperbolic here, but is
that like kamalawood under sentences with Sleigh where I'm like,
y'all have the exact same platform, but Luckily Charlie x
X called her brat, so it made it like somewhat
palatable to young progressive.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yes, yeah, I think the biggest difference would have been
it there. It would have been a much slower de
evolution towards whatever Trump is going to bring. I think
is the biggest difference. And Trump is just an absolute accelerant.
But I think, if anything, what we the biggest fear
with Biden was he was saying I am the I
am the bridge. I am merely the bridge to a
(35:38):
new way of doing things, and like we got on
that bridge and like he crossed it, and you're like,
this is this a trick a trick bridge because I
crossed it and I'm on the other I'm on the
side I just came from.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Let me go back drawing of like a bridge, Like
what fucking bridge is this? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
So, I mean, you know, there's still there's also a
lot of people being like so much there's still votes missing,
and like, yeah, there are certain places where all the
votes have not been tabulated yet, but they're in states
that have already been decided.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
Like it makes me so sad, Like part of me
was like because I did not no fans did not
have hope that Kamala was going to win this. Like
for a long time, I've been like, this is Trump
is going to win this again, just like statistically speaking,
and also like if we think about who's if we
think about donators right to the Republican Party to the
Democratic Party, it was leaning more Republican the entire time.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
So it's like, yeah, when other billionaires, I'm like, how'd
y'all know?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yeah, when when when black Rock is dumping money into
the Republican candidates? Yeah, I think so. But like part
of me was like, man, the next week is going
to be crazy for like bluing on conspiracy theory of
like they're not done counting the votes, and it's like, guys,
we got it.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
We just I'm sorry that you can hang on to
this version. But I'm like, I think we've we've seen
the sort of the full predictable end of how establishment
of democratic part any politics what's gonna work, and this
is it.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
I will just say all of these are like placeholder
takes until like Muller she wrote, hasn't really weighed in
quite yet, and so I'm just waiting to see where
we come down on that one. Ye, yeah, we'll see, Yeah,
that's always But I mean.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I think the other the other thing too is like,
aside from our people moving to the right, I also
just based on again the kinds of voters that have
emerged in this like in this specific electorate, it feels
that there are so many people who are just absolutely
completely disconnected from politics. And I think to couple that
(37:41):
with also just the systematic dismantling we've seen of public
education over the last few decades leads us to a
place where like, yeah, we have we have millions of
people in this country too who just kind of check headlines,
maybe see what's pop and on social media, not like
digging deep. And so when you're presented with a binary
(38:02):
of the status quo in terms of what you've known
for the last few years and the other form of
the status quo, people are just going, well, I think
that one's different. So maybe that's the case, but I mean, yeah,
that but we're I mean a lot of these people
and I mean everyone unfortunately is going to bear the
brunt of all of this. But like, I think there's
there's just so much I already see people be like,
(38:23):
what the fuck is wrong? With all these people and
it's like, man, this problem is so much bigger than
like who campaigned on what. It's like the conditions that
have been created in this country sort of have created
an electorate like this which are going to be susceptible
to like disengagement, misinformation and the like.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So, yeah, the mainstreamia, Like in case anyone was confused
about like how little people are paying attention to the
mainstream media. It's been pointed out the Google searches for
did Joe Biden drop out were like spiking in pennsylvani
Yah in like the days leading up to the election.
I like one of my friends, you know, door knocking
over the weekend in Arizona, and a person they talked
(39:08):
to is like, oh, yeah, I meant to vote for them,
And he was like, what what do you mean. She's like, Oh,
it's over, isn't it. Like they didn't know that the
election hadn't happened yet, Like I think a lot of
people have just tuned the fuck out from everything, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Right, So, which I think, Yeah, that's what makes it
even more infuriating when then, like the Harris campaign's plan
is like, oh, Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney. This will break
through to people when some people are like, Bro, you
think I don't even know if Joe Biden is running, right,
you think I'm just telling like, oh, Dick change. Yeah,
(39:47):
a Bush's VP is oh okay mmmmmm. That's like for
such a quite a broad tent miles, I think, yeah,
that's for such a specific voter that only like this
consultant class. Oh that they're like, this is how like
I'm talking to people who were like also like semi
retired millionaires basically, and like this could be a way
(40:08):
to speak to them and again rather than talking about
like just meaningful shit like can you deliver on things
that affect people's again material existence?
Speaker 1 (40:20):
And this wasn't the case. Yeah. Also, beginning on Monday,
the term who was running for president started trending.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
So that's the people who are like, on my homeworks
do tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yeah, which that was me when I had homework. You know, Yeah,
I don't know if like that homework sucks. Yeah. Other
terms that were trending is Trump a Republican? Can I
vote online? Should be able to? By the way that
last one.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
But yeah, yeah, that's just that's just so I mean,
because you don't. You don't search those things as like
a bit you know what I mean, that's that's not
a journalist.
Speaker 3 (40:56):
No, that's am I am I targeted. Yeah, hurry question.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Pregnant, Yeah, yes you are pregnant.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
So I think like that's why I just like again,
I mean that there's so much more data to come through.
I'm personally not ready for that phase of talking about
it because it's still it's still trickling in. But we did,
we did know these things at the very least coming up.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll
finish up with some more news. We'll be right back,
and we're back, and a writer, jam the lovely Canadian
(41:44):
that he is, was this morning straining as hard as
possible to find some hope here. And so what we
have is Mark Robinson lost in North Carolina. I think
we knew that was going to happen.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
God, I don't know even then, right, Yeah, I don't know.
He somehow missed porn guy Black Nazi one.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
But no, no, he lost.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
He lost handily.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah, he lost by a lot. Sarah McBride has become
the first openly transgender person elected to Congress all right,
that's a win. That's a win. Ten states had ballot
measures to protect or expand abortion access, and seven of
them the measure for abortion rights one. Yeah, including in Missouri,
as we talked about on yesterday's Trending episode, first state
(42:32):
to completely ban abortion after the Supreme Court undid row
and it now become the first state to overturn the ban.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah, I mean, but except I mean in Florida got close,
but again they had to reach a sixty percent threshold
and missed it by like a couple percentage points.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Which was that was interesting because I have a friend
who's from Florida, and even she this morning was saying that,
like it was confusing the way they had to reach
a certain threshold to overturn it, but a different measure,
had you read a different percentage threshold to be overturned. Yeah,
is that how that works?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
I mean they totally that's still totally works everywhere. Yeah. Yeah.
You have to have multiple thresholds for democracy to work
and kind of demised so that the people on their toes. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
a trail mix of thresholds, right right, right, that's an
elabyrinth thing. That's all you need. But Yeah, that one
(43:28):
was very depressing because they had raised one hundred million
dollars to reverse the Florida near total ban on abortion,
and they came extremely close, but because of arbitrary like
institutional power in Florida, they were able to say fifty
seven not enough for this version of democracy, which sucks.
(43:51):
Florida was, you know, a place that a lot of
people in the south, like in southern states, were going
to get reproductive healthcare before it was banned. So yeah,
that is awful. But there are some small footholds. And
again we talked yesterday Rashida Talib and ilhan Omar, both
(44:16):
one with like over seventy percent of the vote in
their respective elections. Those scary beliefs and convictions they have
the mainstream media tells us are incredibly unpopular, turned out
not to be incredibly I mean.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
So much, so much, like like just basic again, stuff
that helps people, like minimum wage, those kinds of things
did really well. And then then they're like, ah, but
maybe Trump for president. And I think that's just that
it's so revealing about like people can connect the dots
for that, like oh, should I make more money? Yes,
(44:56):
but then when but then again when you have like
all this slick campaigning stuf that just kind of completely
misses the mark of like connecting people to what you
can or can't do. I mean, in this case, like
I you know, even kamala Is like primary candidacy wasn't
quite as you know, progressive at least for my taste,
but even like but even to see her shrink from
(45:17):
that and just listen to whoever was you know, she
she inherited from the Biden campaign to be like, let's
fucking pretend you never even said stuff like single payer
like universal health care. Let's just completely avoid that or
just be really mum on like transgender people's you know,
right to have like gender affirming uh like medical care,
(45:38):
like just just just about that rather.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Criticized Trump for supporting gender affirming care prisoner.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Truly, that's what was so sort of fucked up, especially
to watch, like, you know, during the World series, you
get these weird Trump ads or just like kamalas for
the trans people, and you're like, these, this is how
you're setting up the stakes for people, and like that
was so uncomfortable to fucking watch. But yeah, I mean
now yeah this this we're here now and we're here. Yeah,
(46:09):
it's it's again. It's just so fucking difficult, like this
is still hasn't even twenty four hours, no, like sitting
with this like reality. So again, like I apologize on
the other pisode, I'm sorry if I'm not as articulate
