dive into America's air consciousness. We are America's only undecided podcast.

good points, so the times hit us up. I'm not sorry,

And I know that's I love being a white man
because you get at it that wow, it's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
So this election, like I started off conversation crazy, this
election is pretty nor.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
For real though, on the day after whatever, November ninth
and twenty sixteen, the day that Trump is elected, walking
around like the Mission District in San Francisco is like
gentrified ass, you know, community and just like people actually
having brunch and I'm just like, what the fuck is
wrong with you? Like just the most disinterested, waited foreign

(02:50):
foreign if they're foreign exactly.

Okay, if they're not from Haitia, I don't yeah. But anyway,

Thing recnice at Chelsea Handler's friend of the show, Friend of.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
The show, Chelsea Friend of Israel.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
M hm, that's right. My name is Jack O'Brien ak,
and I feel like it really depends on weather. So
is it warming in a bottle?

Speaker 4 (03:46):
O die coke and fountain ash hold dissl ray past.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
The mini came and I need there we go and
we need that one.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Courtesy of Snarfula on the discord in reference. You know,
I grew up making fun of those cords light ads
where they were like our beer is better because it's
coldon I was like, that's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
And yet I now kind of believe that diet coke
in a can is colder than diet coke in a bottle.

(04:26):
I have been converted to some drinks just are colder
and must be colder.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Not a lot, no PBAs or other microplastics.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the can shit is basically health
food in a Canni can pretty much when I'm drinking
out of a mini can. What it's saying that people
is like, I'm my body is a temple and I
care about what those.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
The Coca Cola I ever actually want is what's in
a mini can, Like I want like four SIPs and
then I want it's kind of like I do. I'm sorry,
this is so it's a little bit like me in pornography,
you know what I mean. I'm like, that's enough. You know,
that's just a yeah, I'm good exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
M spritzing of pornography. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I don't know if that anyone out there relates to that.
That's everything in moderation.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Mm hmmm. I will kill like six straight mini cans.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, and I drink an entire pack of it.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
I do do that, unfortunately, because the main thing I
like about mini cans they are colder. Anyways, I'm thrilled
to be joined as always by my co host, mister
Miles Gray. You already know what time it is.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's the Lord of Lakers, mister Shuga with Noga and
the man with podcasting, but on my road to recovery
because I am doing the exercises getting my glutes looking
like that of a youth's.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Anyway, shout out Toda. Thanks for having me back for
this season.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
And I say that meaning someone under forty that's just
it's got Oh my god, but so great you Yeah,
thanks again, thanks again, thanks again.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
You're Elsa. Yeah, thank you, and you're welcome.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Grimey Elsa here to talk about everything that's wonderful and
not wonderful.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
I thought you were talking about Keith van Hornets, you know,
but anyway, cool reference. I'm thrilled, weird, thrilled to be
joined by a brilliant comedian, writer, journalist, activists you know
from places like Al Jazeera, MSNBC, The Young Turks and

(06:31):
from her podcast The Situation Room. Francesca, you're in.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Teenage aka why can't we be friends? Why can't we
be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we
be friends?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Oh? Friends? Yeah, just caught that.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, I didn't do enough. I hate people.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I'll be friends. No, people call you friend alone sometimes?

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Oh well, I mean on your but your handles are
like Franny, do you prefer Franny.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Do you prefer Frank?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Franny is definitely preferable to fran. But it's okay. I
let people get it. It's all good.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
But it is kind of wild when people do just
hit others with the shortening, shortened name, like out of nowhere,
without the familiarity. I do that a lot, actually, and
then I'm like, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just
change your name because I thought it'd be Gregory. Yeah,
you go full you take it to the logical extension. Yeah, yeah,
all the way. Okay, Bart Simpson what Sorry, it's thought

(07:38):
it'd be cool to call you that.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
My bad. How are you doing, Francesca.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I'm fine, uh you know, yeah, a little nervous for
the election. I'm just like, I'm again not trying to
I'm getting twenty sixteen vibes, and I'm trying to shirk
those vibes.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
I don't want.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I think in the face of insurmountable stupidity from the right,
there is I like to think this country is better,
but I've always been I've been disappointed before. Yeah, so yeah,
I'm otherwise pretty good.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I'm okay, yeah, Okay. The fear is on me. I've
been said for about a week now, I'm like, this
feels like twenty sixteen again for some reason to may
like there's just subtle things.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
There's just a lot of like spiking the football like
on the ten yard line kind of new news headlines
I see where it's like data scientist finds Kamala Harris
has sixty six electoral vote.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Advantage, and you're like, I don't give a shit.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
It ain't this ain't election day, Like, don't put that
shit in the air.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And there's all kinds of ways I
was talking about on the Situation Room that the you know,
the Republicans are already trying to like make sure that
you know, twenty twenty, which was an embarrassing attempt at
a steal, is now sort of you know, a more
just a more respectable power grab, you know, a lah

(08:58):
two thousand. So oh yeah, that's that's making me nervous
as well.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
I think was that episode called start the Steal, Start
the Steel. Yeah, yes, yes, I recall that. I recall
that people tune into the.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Good Yeah. Yeah. Well, anyways, I have brunch reservations for
the day after the election. You guys, one way or another,
we are going to have and laugh anyways. All right, well,
it's great to have you here. We're gonna get to
know you a little bit better at the moment. First,
we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things

(09:31):
that we're talking about today. We're going to talk about
the October surprise in quotes, Jack Smith dropping the big
chunk o documents, the indicting documents, big dumps, redacted, taking
a big dump on the news cycle, a lot of
just filling in the blanks of stuff we already knew.

(09:52):
Not sure if it's gonna register with anyone who is
planning on voting, but it is worth looking at as
a kind of preview of what this election might look like,
at the very least if if the Republicans lose. We're
gonna check back in with our good old friend Tim Kaine,
remember him speaking of We're just gonna say, remember him,

(10:16):
and then look at the person he's running against, who
is a character who I don't know how I had
missed him up to this point. He's a he's a blast.
And ask the question on everyone's mind, what the fuck
is going on with music biopics? Right? Now yeah, all
of that plenty more. But first, Francesca, we do like

(10:37):
to ask our guests, what is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yes, this is uh sad, but all of my search
history has to do with my child, of course, and.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
So why is that sad?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Well, I mean it's just like it's all like, you know,
we'll do kill baby, you know, like what baby? Yeah,
why baby, baby baby exactly like why baby who is
one year and three hundred and sixty two days old.
My kid is about to turn two, is acting in

(11:13):
one way, thank you. But so it's funny to like
you're like they're starting to be human now, you know,
and there's like a weird like as a parent, you're like,
a what point do they become human? Because they're just
kind of like alien creatures for I would almost say
like a year, and you don't know how their body
reacts to normal things, like you know, like a big

(11:33):
gulp of mountain dew or whatever. But like so like
for me, I'm like, she's got curly she's got curly hair,
like there's no way around this. Her dad is very
very curly hair. And I was like, I'm like maybe
it's like kind of like, you know, I've got I
mean like I'm got like Italian Chinese hair and like,
not to brag, but they make a lot of wigs
out of our hair. I've sold my entire No, I haven't, but.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
You've got that Italian.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Hair, got the Italian hair, and so she Anyway, the
point is this, I'm like, when can babies use conditioner?
Like when do we start doing I'm a big product bitch,
Like I love product. I know it's bad for us generally,
but you know it's like if they have enough, you know,
write labels on the bottle, I'll be like, this is fine.
So I'm like, what is the best conditioner for kids?

(12:17):
Gentle and effective? And I'm just like, what is you know,
looking into all this shit and it's it's like it's
hard and all the things that are marketed at parents
and it's all bullshit.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Are babies curls popping?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
No kind of She's very bald. She is also quite bald,
So it's like they're tough and they're adorable. And I'm like,
i want even as a baby, I'm like, let's give
her the dignity of figuring out her haircare. Routine so
that she doesn't isn't just like a like kind of
a frizzy mess, you know, and we're like whatever. My mom,

(12:48):
when I was a child, decided to just do straight
bowl cuts on myself and my brother because why do
any not? Like why not? And I feel like I
have trauma from just being like like a straight straight across,
straight across. I was misgendered when I was little, which

(13:09):
I guess, you know, someone should have really you know,
broken down some like Judith Butler to me at that
age and been like, you know, it's not a big deal.
But I was like, oh, little boy, you know, like
that that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, is two years old too young to use a
straight iron? Have you looked into that? I feel like
there's probably.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yes, I would love because I have a flat iron
and that I use ironically to make my hair curly.
This is all boring. The point is this, Yes, i'd
be very funny to just try to straighten.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Your last Google search, Okay, to relax baby's hair.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Effectively?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Right? Yeah? Yeah, maybe too young for a conk I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Like yeah yeah yeah, and like a little bit like
maybe too young for latist, you know, because I feel
like she could really yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Just like make the eyelashes pot yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Or also like she's gonna have a unibrow. You know,
I see it coming in. I have a unibrow. My
husband has unibrow. Like it's it's like that is the
Italian in me, it's the Ukrainian Jew and him can't
Like what if we just lasi and don't tell soul?
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
That's so fucked up.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'm getting canceled a million ways.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
On this discordio. Yeah, yeah, no, it already happened. Francisco.
What is something you think is underrated? I was at a.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Show, a stand up show the other night, and a
comic made reference to Chuck E Cheese because they have kids,
and nobody in the audience had kids, uh, because they
were all like young and whatever and like and and
I want to tell you guys, Chuck E Cheese is underrated.
Chuck E Cheese is great, Chuck E Cheese is wonderful. Yeah,
I'm glad it still exists. There need to be more

(14:53):
places for kids. Obviously we've destroyed all toy stores. It is,
as you know, one of the comics said, it's like
a casino for children, and there's a jump part and
it's adorable and it's like fairly affordable. It's air condition Yeah,
Chuck E Cheese is really terrifying, the sort of animatronic
dude that comes out if you get if you do

(15:15):
get one, but like it's great. Yes, there's germs everywhere,
but like you need a place where they can just
you know, where a kid can be a kid, you
know what I'm saying. Yeah, which I think is their logo,
their slogan, or it used to be. I don't know
what it is now, but Chuck Entertainment Cheese is a
good spot and I and I support it. I feel
like it's like the working man's like Charmed Kids playhouse

(15:40):
that costs two thousand dollars to rent.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
You know, you do put the full name on people.
I appreciate that. Charles Entertainment Cheese. Yeah, I mean it
is a legal name.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Do you remember like the ones that were kind of
trying to be like Chuck E Cheese, like Pistol You
ever go to Pistol Pizza Pizza?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
No, that's how it was coming.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Where was that Philly?

Speaker 1 (15:59):
There was? Now there's one in the valley.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
I remember going to and it was just kind of
like one of those it's like we got a we
got freaky robots and shit too, it's not chucky cheese
pistol piets.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
You know.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Where I did go though, in the in the in
the peninsula in California was Rocky and Bullwinkles. Do you
guys ever remember that?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
No? Oh fun yo, oh wow, I have that that
place in a minute.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
They were like animatronic Bullwinkle and Rocky. It was so
it was good.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
It was good.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
And yeah, it's always like it's just pizza arcade, maybe
a jump house. Hell yeah, I love it, got it all.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
I like the pistol Petez was doing like kind of
committing infringement on two from two angles because there's a
famous basketball player named Pistol Pete. Yep, like his nickname
was Pistol Pete. And then also they're ripping off chuck
E cheeses, and they were like maybe it'll be like
so so much infringement that they're just like if you.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Look a pistol Pete, it's men's underwear. What pistol Pete,
it's all about the field. Oh wow, Oh there's that
is sheer all right? And I've seen a penis Okay, wow.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Okay they saw jos Okay, not the brag, but I
have seen a penis sprinkling of pornogas.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh these we all y know that you don't you're
not coming to play if you're rocking, Yo.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
We have to share with the viewer.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Now.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Now we will be banned from any kind of video
ever again if I if I show the base of
the shaft.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yo, I really like that. These are hot. These are hot.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
That's a lot of I got a full soldier boy
from Miles. Yeah, exactly. I was looking at that and
I'm like, hey, this.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Is yeah, Okay, anyway, should we go to my overeating
moving on?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Nah? Sorry, I just I just got.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
And you're gonna miss out on this, all right.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, it's we've all.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Seen really jacked man lubed up in a sheer song.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Yeah, I mean this is definitely like you know you
you see you see this kind of stuff out there,
pride when you you're showing off that hard body and
letting them know what you're working with.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
But see, yeah, the the pride. Yeah, I've seen more
of like god, what is the fair in San Francisco?

Speaker 1 (18:23):
That's a oh fullsome Street, fullsome Street fair.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, my favorite is the is like in Pride or
fullsome Street, Full some Street. It's definitely more about like
you know, a BDSM and whatnot. But like when it's
Pride and there's someone who doesn't have a great body,
but they are a newdist and it's just like it
is the it's a call for like the con shell
rings out and every guy who just wants to be

(18:47):
nake nack, like just let it hang out on a
corner is just like they're just standing. They're just like,
this is my nick, look at it. I'm here and
it's like, here's my little like seventy two year old
flat ass.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
I got podcast or ass podcasts.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Very much podass, yes check. Just like imagine what he's
gonna be like when he's older.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh yeah, give me and you should let people know
some retirement.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
This ass has made some money. Okay, we've started podcast
empires with this booty.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah that's right. Yeah. Actually, like for a minute, from
from my tailbone, it goes in from there. That's kind
of a the tailbone is actually the furthest out.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Something else that's underrated is a wedge, A wedge pillow.
I don't have one actually, but you should sit on
a wedge. It really makes you know, makes you sort
of like pelvic tilt. Yes, get your pelvic tilt going
so your lumbar's correct, and you know, get your foot
pep stool or whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
I'm doing it right now. What Francesca is something you
think is overrated?

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Okay, So I come from like activist culture. I come from.
I used to be a you know, anti war activist,
global justice activist, and we sort of you know, pioneered
a lot of this, like a consensus decision making speaking
of body language, body language around consensus decision making, which
is things like you know, instead of clapping, you twinkle

(20:16):
or you snap. Right, if you have a direct response
to somebody, you do this. If you have a process point,
you do like the the Illuminati Illuminati sign the Jovah.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
What is it this delta delta.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Or your delta. This is a process point, meaning this
conversation is like it's like out of order or whatnot. Anyway,
all that's fine and good for doing like organizing an
activism that you want to do, like direct democracy and
all this, but the snapping has permeated into broader culture
and snapping has also permeated into stand up audiences. And

(20:57):
when I go and try to do joke jokes to
make the left laugh and I am greeded by a snap.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Yeah, it makes me.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Want to die, and please do not do it. No
it It's like, this is not slam poetry. This is
not like it's okay to class you if you clap,
it's okay, it's okay to laugh, just don't snap. I
can't imagine like, and it's very gen Z and I'm sorry,

(21:27):
but it's so gen Z and I can't does gen
Z like look at content on their phone and are
just like like snap at that, you know what I mean?
Because sometimes when you're in live audiences, you get sort
of like dead eyed, you know the face of someone
who's like scroll, I'm gonna scroll the next joke kind
of shit. And again I'm not saying I don't crush,
because I crush, but some audiences are just like much

(21:52):
more just fucking like, I don't know where you came from.
I don't know if like I yes, it's okay, it's
not like it's not You're not going to be canceled
for laughing, you know what I mean? And so the
snapping is so overrated. I'm sorry, I'm done with it.
I'm done with the snapping. Say that's hilarious, that's true totally,

(22:15):
but like the snapping and especially instead of laughing or
instead of clapping, is makes me feel like I just
read a bad poem to you.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Then like a joke you've been workshopping. They're like, right,
you know that's right.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
So that's I mean, that's all I have to say
about that. Overrated is yeah all day. Yeah, I do
wonder and this is this is like morning Zoo talk radio.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Just what's wrong with these kids?

Speaker 1 (22:48):
That's what I'm from, like from a fifty year old.
But like, is it because they're used to like consuming
content quietly and so they're just you know what I mean,
like they're they're on the bus or something, and so
they don't want people, they don't want to laugh out loud.
I think that's so their wiring has been shifted to
just like quietly appreciate what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Or I wonder if you're like getting everything like off
an iPad too, Like like you see so many kids
just with headphones on and they're kind of just in
this very like it's just me and this thing happening,
and you don't know if they're having a good time.
I always wonder that about kids when I see them.
But yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
I mean, are you having a good time when you're
watching you know whatever, the third season of the Bear,
fourth season, whatever season?

Speaker 3 (23:34):
So always a great time whatever I'm watching. You're just
like fat loud. Yeah, yeah, I gotta wear.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
It on my face. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, No, I'm always I think I'm just generally pretty.
I have big reactions all the time. So I think
it's a harder thought experiment for me to be like
I'm at a comedy show because also, like in comedy,
you know, you want to be generous with your laughter,
and you want to be generous with the energy that
you're putting out to the performer, because that's the fucking
juice game.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yes, now is the performance?

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yes, So I can totally see like the frustration in
that is like, no, like I'm gonna make you laugh,
but y'all have to fucking laugh.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
So I go, okay, yeah we're vibing. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I am a big time like I border I mean,
I don't tackle, but I borderline that when I'm an
audience member of a show, because I know, first of all,
I know what it's like on the other side. But
also that's just how I roll, because I get social
cues and I'm like, and there's a lot of people
who are like, hm, like it's okay for me to
just sit here quietly, silently, not even smiling, And you're
just like, I don't understand you.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
I don't. Why don't withhold your laughter?

Speaker 3 (24:42):
If anything? Laugh at shit? You wouldn't normally laugh at you.
It'll just feel even if you don't, it'll feel better. Yes, Yeah,
there's a reason why they say laughter is a form
of vents.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Those of us who struggle with eye contact feel attacked
right now, but I do. You can keep your head
down and I will try harder. Yeah, on table.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
You struggle with eye contact, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
I've always struggled with eye contact for some reason, just
in person eye contact.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yeah, he's a bit of a shy guy, a bit
of a shy boy.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
You so you you don't like to do the like,
let's stare into each other's eyes for like three minutes
and just see.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yeah, yeah, right, conversationally hate it. But if I want
to create an awkward moment. I'm like, hey, let's talk
eyes for three straight minutes.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
The second the silence, this is the second the silence
descends over that when you go right in for the
contact and just start moving in slowly.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I like to.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I like to look at people when they're not looking
at me, I think, is what I'm hearing.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
I like to. That's right, Yeah, it's called being a
creep snooper. All right, let's take a quick break and
we'll be right back to talk about October. It's October, baby,
We'll be right back, and we're back. And this is

(26:10):
the time of year where any major Ish news story
involving the presidential election will be termed the October Surprise.
And that goes for Jack Smith dropping a bunch of
documents and evidence for the case he is building to

(26:34):
suggest that Donald Trump did a bad when he tried
to overturn the twenty twenty election, and that it doesn't
count as official police business when you're just trying to
do crimes NonStop, openly, with full knowledge that what you're
trying to do is crimes. And this does tie into

(26:55):
I think the only two takeaways I've seen from the
VP debate that seemed to be like having any traction
are JD Vance saying the roles where you weren't going
to fact check, which is so good, amazing moment, but
also his refusal to admit that Donald Trump lost the

(27:16):
twenty twenty election and.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Him, Tim Walls, you're just doing his little whoa oh ye.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Oh wow. Guys. Now that's one where I'm gonna have
to disagree with you on. I'm gonna have to disagree
with your police work on that one. There. Hold on, guy,
what'd you just say you're a good cop. You're not.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
You're not one of the bad apples. No, he is
literally a bad apple. What are you doing, Tim.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Wall, stop it stopping stop bad guy.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
He's the bad guy.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
But uh, and then implying that he would have helped
for the alternative electors. Yesterday he told one of the
comedians from The Good Liars that he thinks Trump won
the twenty twenty election. Is that what it's called? Yeah,
the Good Liars, And also that I feel bad for
you man, and I just this is a good this

(28:02):
is a good Vance little piece of Vance Vance Lore
Vance being Vance, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Who won the twenty twenty launch could you just answer,
did Donald Trump win yesterday?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
He did win?

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
So will you will you can see?

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Will you can see that.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
If your opponent gets your opponent gets more votes, will
you concede? I really feel bad for you, man.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
I just want to know if your if your opponent
gets more votes, will you concede?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
All right? Yeah? Yeah, cool? Cool? Just do that. Who's
laughing really hard when he says I feel bad for
you man? Is that jd Vance laughing?

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Oh? Yeah, he loves in his own jokes all the time.
That's his that's his whole thing.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
I really feel bad for you, man, Like all of
his handlers are like, he just said the thing that
we didn't want him to say.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I so yeah that I love. That's Jason Selvig from
the Good Liers I think his name is, and I love.
Here's my thought about trolling MAGA. And I know it's
been it has been done by other people, but you
have to be a like at least six foot two
white guy who looks very like super waspy, because like

(29:23):
allowing Jason to like continue and follow them like a
woman would never person of color never, like you just
cannot get you exactly you would get bosses out, you
would get like put in a headlock at that point.
So it just I love that, I mean, and and
like I'm a big fan of Walter Masterson, Like I
just love how these guys are able to you know,

(29:44):
use that and be like I just kind of look
like I'm with you, and you don't know me well
enough to know that I'm like clowning on you. So
but yes, of course, yes you did. It's the simplest question.
They don't even have a line on this. Forget abortion rights.
They don't have a ligne on whether or not Trump
won the twenty twenty election. He beat me by a whisker, right, wait,

(30:07):
so he beat you?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Uh shit, I mean it may be that whisker being legally,
but we smoke bomb, smoke bomb.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
But yeah, this this documents that Judge Chutkin sort of
released in terms of like Jack Smith's you know, case
against Donald Trump or the United States' case against Donald Trump,
Like you just kind of realized, like, like, man, the
fucking Supreme Court is so fucked up because they put
all this all these weird standards now because Jack Smith
essentially had you know, had a retool the entire case
to be like, Okay, what's official act? What are acts

(30:38):
that are done as a private citizen? How do they overlap?
Do they overlap at all? And trying to create this
like labyrinthine structure to try and be like and he
can't do anything to Trump. But when you start reading it,
you're like, you'd have to be truly like off the deep,
off the shits to say like, oh, yeah, this is
all very normal, like yeah, half of because a lot
of this stuff in it, it wasn't necessarily new, but

(30:59):
there is just a little bit added texture. I think
when you see some of the quotes and some of
the anecdotes that kind of were the behind the scenes
of it all, and like and seeing that, you're like
Jesus Christ, due, they're gonna they're you know, like in
Jurassic Park, like the raptors they figured out defenses and
then so for the second go around, they're going to
be a little bit more effective.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
And I think that's what Yeah, that's what's scary about
what you see here.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, no, I mean I think that the real thing,
you know, I saw Elie Mestaal, you know who writes
for the Nation reports on the courts, basically is like
none of it really matters, you know, And and yes,
we were all sort of scratching your head, like house Tanya, chut,
can getta get around this, this presidential immunity that the
Supreme hand picked Supreme Court just gave him. How do

(31:39):
you get around like the king saying that everything is official.
And they were like, oh, he was a candidate. I'm like, okay,
that makes sense. I guess you can argue that. Sure,
So I'm glad that that they're at least putting it
back up again. And and this is moving forward. But
none of this is going to be decided before the election, right,
none of it, not even the you know, sentencing from

(32:03):
Judge Juan marshan in in the financial like the falsifying
business ocke of the right right, so that the fraud
case is not even gonna be settled, so no accountability,
Like it doesn't actually fun.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
If he wins, it's gonna go poof.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
It's all gonna go poof, all of it. We've made
sure it's all going to go poof. My overrated was
gonna be the American justice system, the judicial system, it
is so fucked and oh my god, to icing on
the the cherry on top would be should somehow there'd
be some function in one of these swing states, and
heaven forbid, it gets elevated to the courts. Then the

(32:42):
Supreme Court's like, thank you, we'll take that, and you know,
and they will decide like it's just perfect. They set
them up, Andy knock them down. So it's just like,
I can't believe we're here. But guys, greatest.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Democracy on Earth, greatest democracy on yeah, greatest democracy. It
all works out. The table of the people has always
been acted by the politicians. Absolutely, Yeah, I did like
the moments where Trump is obviously like not does not
believe his own bullshit. Like there's a part where he
mutes his phone while he's on with Sidney Palell and

(33:15):
like calls her crazy to the other people in the
room and says like she's like makes reference to Star
trek as being like how fantastical. The arguments are that
she's presenting like he knows, you know, and yeah, he knows.
There's other parts where he's like, yeah, whether you win
or lose, you have to fight like hell, which like

(33:36):
sounds like a like a football coach, you know, slogan
that like you could get behind but like that is
the end of the mock.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
This is this is right out of Roger Stone's mouth.
This is Roger Stone Steve Bannon stuff. You know, those
are the people who are truly in his ear, and
those are the people who know and they're the people
who helped January six happen. Steve Bannon's in prison right
now because he refused to testify about January sixth, right
like like, oh, I just I'm keep pretending like, oh

(34:06):
my god, you know, but yeah, I love I love
the It doesn't matter if I won or lost. Like
that's those are details, Yeah, exactly. I think that was
another part of this of the documents, like me having
more delegates is a detail to what we're trying to
do here.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Yeah, I mean, I guess the other thing too, is
like when you see like the sort of the quotes
about it is like, yeah, like if they're talking about
like just let them riot at the capitol to keep
the chaos up and you know, the stuff that we
all like. I think in Jack Smith's documents, you also
see him talk about how they were purposely having confrontations
outside of ballot centers to create the like the optics

(34:45):
that something was afoot and people weren't allowed to be
account like a be weren't being held accountable because of that.
And you look at sort of what they're planning, you
can already sort of see like, oh, they this whole
thing is going to be as much about creat as
many optic opportunities for people to be like, oh, what happened there?
What happened there? And like to your point about any

(35:06):
kind of fuck are you going down? I almost I
feel like it's almost certain that they are going to
manufacture some kind of fucking fake elector person, someone that
they could pay to be like you know, forge ballots
or whatever to open the doors to this kind of
election denialism that they that's the only way they're going

(35:26):
to win, I think, right.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
I mean, it's all about whether state election boards will
certify the results, and if they won't, there will be
a lot of legal battles. I think. You know, in
Georgia there's already a legal battle again from Democrats. They're
suing over the hand count that Republicans have instituted at
the last minute, which completely throws that election into the fray.

(35:48):
And it's so cumbersome. They're not training people it's unclear
how that would happen. The human error in hand counting
is really huge, So like, yeah, it's all about these
state election boards and like whether or not I think yeah,
and then it it all just go to the courts
yet again. But it's interesting. Also now I don't want
to politicize Hurricane Helene. Hurricane Helen is politicized anyway. Let's

(36:11):
just be real. It's climate change, just like every mass
shooting is politicized and gun control terms. But it is
interesting like these states that Trump is like, h the
Democrats are deliberately not trying to give you aid and
they hate you. But you are seeing like this level
of coordination where Joe Biden is like all the rescue
efforts will be one hundred percent paid for by the

(36:31):
federal government. We've called these governors multiple times, you know,
and people are really I don't know, I'm just like
it is interesting now when these are the same states
that will be leaned on by the Trump campaign are
now being you know, are seeing actually un effective although

(36:52):
genocidal Biden administration really like work with them and like
this is normalcye that other thing you're about to be
asked to do in a month. Not normalcy, do you
know what I mean? So I'm wondering, like this is
me maybe carkening to the Republicans better Angels, but it
is just a sort of interesting moment, given the hurricane

(37:12):
and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, anyway, but the documents, yes.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
Seems good. It seems like the one takeaway I think
we can come away with is that they were ultimate
like their main goal was to subvert the election openly.
They were doing that. We will never have like a
normal election again, whether he wins or not. Right, Like,
this is fucked permanently. I think I feel like we're

(37:37):
not prepared for how fucked twenty twenty four is going
to be that we being like I just don't think
like legally, I don't know. I've heard like I've heard
people say that, well, the Georgia thing is actually not
like no legally serious like that they'll be able to
knock that the hand count thing down. But like nobody

(37:59):
saw that Supreme Court case like decision coming where they
were just like no, Trump's basically the king. Baby. Yeah,
we're I mean, we're all here.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
I think we suspected it though, because you're like, these
are all flunkies that they have in there, So I
don't think they're going to come out and be.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Like, no, actually start the trial now for Donald Trump.
God go off, y'all. Yeah, I mean's just seems to
be always worst case when it comes to the judicial branch.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, so what remarked Trump saying, we'll like Mike Pence's
life is in danger. So yeah, and this is like
it was sort of couched a lot of niceties. But yeah,
when Tim Wall said I'm concerned about why Mike Pence
is not on the stage tonight, he could have gone
a lot harder as so, like, I'm concerned about where

(38:43):
your neck is going to become January, my guy.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
You know, like you know, we're all worried about you, JD.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
We're always worried about you, JD. And you know your
skincare routine and whether that's when you get imprisoned by
the mobs, which they obviously it is different because Biden
is in office, and if only Biden could crime the
way the Supreme Court has allowed him to crime, but
in but crime for good stuff.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yeah right, that'd be just cheat the way they're claiming
you cheat.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
You know, yes, but Biden, Biden, you know, it'd be
very funny. This is just me playing. It'd be very
funny if there was some sort of crisis in democracy
and like we just get like six more months of
Biden and Biden's like, yes, just what I wanted. I
can do the job. Man.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
But then they start, They're gonna they're gonna roll his
ass out looking like Jimmy Carter pretty soon, and I'm
gonna be like.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Well, there's a new player in the political realm that
I just want to introduce our listeners, our viewers to
or not from Virginia who are probably well aware of
this person. Yeah, yeah, but this is the person running
against Tim Kaine. Hillary VP candidate Tim Kane.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
The one that speaks Spanish. You know, we were all
impressed by his Bible Baby Hills.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
Oh my god. We were like oh that. We're like,
Hilary found a Spanish speaking white man. Here we go.
You know, it's a rap.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
But anyway, so Tim Kain's running for election this year
and again this guy he's running against hung how is
someone who is just so dumb in that special Maga
kind of way, that Gunning Krueger kind of way where
you're like, yeah, man, I think I just got to
say stuff, and like, you look like I think you're
a politician. He's a retired Navy captain, and not only

(40:32):
is he an alpha male, but he is also ignorant
as a hell.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Like.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
One of the first clips that I think caught my
attention I don't think we talked about on the show
was when he said that witches were taking over California
as a way to like prove his christ cred amongst
the voters of Virginia. But now that we're at the
business end of the election campaign or the campaign season,
we got to see him in a debate against Kane and.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Wow, wow, wow, wow wow wow.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
When you have to answer questions out loud, sir, sir,
what are you saying? So here he is basically going
off on how like DEI is gonna lead to drag
queens fighting on the front lines of our forever wars
or something. But I don't want to mess up his words.
Let me just let you you take it away.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
With when you're using a you know, drag queen to
recruit for the Navy, that's not the people we want. Look,
what we need is alpha males and alpha females who
are gonna rip out their own guts, eat them and
ask for seconds. That those are young men and women
that are gonna win wars.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Mm hmmm, okay, yeah, so eat them and ask for seconds.
Alpha females. There's a lot happening here.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
It's just so wild again because his whole thing is like,
I'm an I'm a Navy I'm a retired Navy captain.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
I know what it takes. You have to look.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
If y'all don't know how to self eviscerate, don't even
bother enlisting, okay, because we don't want you.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
We don't want you, and so.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
On top of like being an authority on that topic,
he's also a bit of a policy wonk, just in
my estimation, and by wonk, I mean he has no
idea what the fuck he is.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Talking about on any level. And here he is again
the sound of his head hitting a hollow block.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Yeah, this is him with his take on Kamala's you know,
and like this has been a Biden proposal to about
you know, taxing unrealized gains. And this is also fantastic
demonstration of his lack of knowledge on anything. He starts
off by doing a thing as like we're taking better
care of like immigrants.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Shame on us.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
That was sort of like his lead into this next
thing about taxation.

Speaker 5 (42:44):
A lot of these Americans they're homeless right now due
to the Hurricane Helene, and we need to put them
into the hotels and getting room service instead of giving
it to illegal aliens. And the fear with what Kamala
Harris wants to do with unrealized gains is if my
house goes up in Zillow, you know, it's just go
up in Zillo, but then I don't have that money

(43:06):
on pocket and she wants to tax that. And that's
exactly what's going on right now. Is you know, one
of the great things about being an American is the freedom.
And the second thing is ownership. Okay, a lot of
countries don't allow you have.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
To own the lands.

Speaker 5 (43:18):
And what they're doing right now is there they want
to push out of ownership of your home and so
only corporations and and very rich people can buy it.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
And tried though like like this is I I like
identify with this really fervently because this is me when
I like know a little bit about a little bit
of nothing about something that I just kind of bounce around.

(43:46):
We've all been there, you know, the zillo and it's
not and then you don't have the money in your pocket.
And then they she just wants to give them money
to corporations, and it's.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Like we need and like we need room service, not
room service for immigrants, you know in the hotels, Like okay, yeah,
my zillow went up, so now I got all these
capital gains or some shit like again for people that
need a refresher, right, this would only apply to people

(44:16):
that are worth north of one hundred million dollars in
se okay, So, but he is doing a great job
of tapping into that fear that like capitalists like to put,
like the wealthy like like to put in people's minds
of like.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
But what if I become a billionaire, Well, then that's right,
surely I don't.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
I don't want to be taxed on capital gains if
I'm worth over one hundred million dollars. And it's like
this whole thing, my zillo went up, and then I
don't see that money, and we're talking about shit like
Elon Musk's like Tesla stock going up twenty billion dollars
and then be like yeah, sorry, we're we're taking we're
taking a bite out of that, Like that's that's the

(44:53):
kind of shit we're talking about, not the person.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
This is the same.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
There's like sort of it's just as absurd as when
they were saying when vance was like, you like immigrants
or the reason why we have a housing crisis and
everything's so unaffordable, and you're like, sir, that's have you bought.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
You immigrants coming into our country buying up our real estate.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
I mean, this is also like again, and I have
to just say this because he is Asian American, he's
from Vietnam. You know, he's an immigrant. Stephen Chung, who
is Trump's yeah, fucking spokesperson who literally looks like a
chicken mc nugget and grimace at the same time. See,

(45:33):
you got to look him up. He is a he's
like a very disgusting looking person, which matches his personality
and what he says. But the point is is, like
I just it really bothers me that these are like
the attack dogs of the right and they think that
like the right, the neo Nazis wouldn't sell them down
the river in a heartbeat, And especially I feel like

(45:56):
I don't know, there's something different about especially like Asian
Americans who are always been painted as the outsider. You know,
it's different to like throw down with someone like Mark
Robinson or like God who's a football the football guy
who hurt hershel Walker, Like it's different when when when
it's like African Americans, it's you know, whereas like Asian
Americans have always been seen as like outside or other

(46:17):
dirty fuckin wuhan virus, like China virus, all this ship,
you know, and you're just like and now you're carrying
water for these people. It's so gross.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Yeah, and so just happen.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Look at all you got to do is look at
a vec won't.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
You please think of he sat down, he did his
song and dance for them, and then they ate your
ass and spit your ass out.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
And look at and look at Nikki Haley. And it
is very funny that he said alpha women. It's like
anyone who traffics in that kind of bullshit will tell
you there's nothing, no such thing as an alpha woman.
The fact that there are women even in the military
is woke, ye, And it's the reason that we are
like losing wars or whatever, even though we don't want
to start neon wars. It's like the reason Donald Trump

(46:59):
almost got shot because there was a female Secret Service agent.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Yeah, so which one is it? Yeah, I mean that's
signs he got his signals crossed. Look out the men
or alpha women?

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Yeah yeah, wait, because but then he also did that
thing too, where like you're so right, it becomes a
full circle and then you have like a progressive take.
It's like, because corporations are going to buy up the
houses and that's really going to drive It's like, wait,
so what what are you saying against that you're gonna
is that? Is that a policy you would advocate for,
for like stopping corporate landlording?

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Well, that exactly That answer reminds me of what Jade
Vance did multiple times, which was talking himself out of
a job and actually into a staff position on Kamala
Harris's administration straight up, like you know, in multiple moments,
I mean, you're Kamal Ayers has been saying it's like
the best part of her housing policy, which I think
doesn't nearly go far enough, but it's talking about corporate landlords, right,

(47:52):
and the buying up of you know, available units and whatnot,
And it's like yeah, and so the same thing is
like you realize you're all making the case for someone
who actually has a plan. You could have a plan.
There's nothing wrong with Republicans actually having a plan, but
they don't. It's just illegals. And I think this other
big is like it's so funny me. Have you ever

(48:14):
spoken to like a recent immigrant and ask them like, hey,
what's your living situation? Like are they ever like I mean,
I've got like a one bedroom, you know, and like
I've got great Wi Fi here. It's like really so
high speed. No, no, no, it's.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
Like I'm in a condo in Santa Monica.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a really good view.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
No it is.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
I live in a want a studio apartment with twelve
of other people and one day I hope to maybe
only have six roommates straight up, Like that's how immigrants
live in this country.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah, yeah, you're not. But again, it's like everything has
to be.

Speaker 3 (48:54):
It's always a zero sum game and a way to
be like, well, because you have less, we can attribute
that to this presence. Therefore, activate your hate and you know,
vote Trump and yeah, just go against everything you believe
in or believe in.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Who knows and uh, you know, pay more for uh
workers who have been here for forever and are like, actually,
I kind of want more. It's like it's like that's
the other thing. You're like, we're coming out of a
time when like fast food workers are getting twenty five
dollars an hour and right wingers and billionaires are like
what the fuck? No ow dare they They're just so
greedy and nobody wants to work. And then immigrants are like,

(49:30):
we do, We're chill, well it will work. I'm like, no,
not you.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and
we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, and
it's biopic season. Everyone is that actually a season or

(49:57):
did you just season?

Speaker 3 (49:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Yank you yank, thank you?

Speaker 1 (50:01):
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. It's just like this
is the type of movie they like to put out
to get get some love. There's usually I feel like
there's like a one point five ex multiplier on your
chances of getting an Oscar if it's a musical biopic
like Bohemian Rhapsody, Like Ronny Mallock deserved well into that

(50:23):
Oscar tooth act, into the tooth acting.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Maybe the gompers, Yeah, gompers in an accent, and I'll
do it.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
I think the Elton John guy got some love that song.
The I walked the line did some numbers number that's right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So anyway, we're cap now, I'm just capodi get uh.

(50:54):
Specifically musical biopicks. We've got three coming out. Two some
would say too many, but they they kind of seem
to have had that same thought, and they're like, Okay,
how do we make these not all the thing that
they made fun of in Walk Hard? You know, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And so we got the Bob Dylan one, which seems

(51:18):
like it's a pretty straightforward, like could have been one
of the movies being made fun of him Walk Hard.
It's just they're like, yeah, but we got Timothy Shalomey
as Bob Dylan, as young Bob Dylan might be Yeah
enough said, it's only covering him up to nineteen sixty five,
so it's like gonna cover his him going electric. I
don't know if you guys know about this whole controversy

(51:39):
during Bob Dylan's career, but he was like an acoustic
troubadour and then like people were so bored at the
time that when he decided to start playing an electric guitar,
they were like Judas, Yeah, fuck you man, wear at
your fucking back on us.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Well, but arguably there are they gonna just like stop
before like nineteen sixty eight and like the height of
the anti Vietnam War movement and the height of like
what kind of made Bob Dylan even more legendary. It's
just gonna be We're gonna just deepoliticize everything about.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
It's gonna be more about like the iconography, the music,
the music, the pair the yea. We're going to see
him like go to a store and be like, what
about those sunglasses? Yes, yeah, no, no, no, you don't
classes make you look like shit, and he like puts
for any.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Elderly You're like, oh, and then he's it.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Takes him off the face of a blind guy.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you can borrow mine. Yeah yeah yeah.
That's every musical biopic is just like someone at a
piano messing around or on their guitar and we're like, yeah, Brote, like.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Play that again, Bob dain fan. The trailer did get me,
but that's I'm a sucker?

Speaker 2 (52:57):
Is it in black and white?

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Yeah? Well, I mean everything's almost think.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Timothy Shallomey is also just like in so many IP
type movies, right, like they're not original scripts, like he's
in Doom, he was Willy Wonka, Like, uh, call Me
by your Name was like based on a novel? Like
is this always kind of being like it's like he's
the IP god, Bob Dylan, get Timothy Shallomey, Man, I.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Didn't Call Me by your Name was already a book.
But I feel like that doesn't count as like a
big IP.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
No no no, But I mean but in the I
sort of mean that and sort of like the inside
Baseball Hollywood way, because we're like everyone in Hollywood now
says everything has to be IP. Intellectual property has been
based on something else to the point where like I
know writers who are writing scripts and just claiming it's
based on a book that exists because they're counting on
development executives to not read it or actually part through

(53:50):
that amazing and they're like, oh, that's great, and you
got the rights and they're like yep, and they're like.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Yeah, there's actually a post credit sequence and call Me
by your Name where it threw v that it takes
place in the g I Joe Transformation just to anchor it.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
But yeah, I mean, like that's like everyone just because
the amount of creative thinking in this town has just
gone fucking just ooof that.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
It's now everything Like is it based on something people
know about?

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Yeah, we got these terrible fucking movies or like half
assed biopics that like about really interesting people.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Like that Amy Winehouse thing. I feel I could have
probably been interesting, but I yeah, there's a big string
of missing.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Yeah, I didn't even see that one. I haven't seen
a lot of them, just because you're like, I could
watch a documentary, like I didn't watch Anina Owe one.
I have watched Amy Winehouse documentaries. I'm like, that's that's
depressing enough, you know, I want like the real depressing thing.
I mean it's also, by the way, I didn't even
talk about this. I was going to but like the Manette,
I'm deep in the Menandez brother situation, okay, And I'm

(54:57):
like the documentary on max HBO whatever is great, Like
it's really good, and I don't want to subject myself
to fucking Ryan Murphy's you know, sensationalized bullshit on Netflix.
It's just like that, you know, he's the real thing
that he says is been the best thing that happened
to Menendez brothers in thirty years.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Shut up, He's like, I mean, I don't believe they
were incestuous, but.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
You know, but like what if they were and it
was hard?

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Yeah? Right, But anyway, they have them fucking stars, Okay, yeah,
they should be.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Thinking nobody knew who they were. I put them on
the map.

Speaker 1 (55:35):
The schall May thing like, we don't have to show
the trailer because you can just close your eyes and
picture the trailer and it is that that is exactly
what it is. Bob Dylan and you know, Timothy shell
May put a Bob dylanwig on Timothy Shellman. So in
order to and be probably as a result of some
of these other biopics, there was also a Whitney Houston

(55:56):
one that didn't do very well. Studios are trying to
figure out, like, how what do we do here? How
do we spin this so that it feels like it's
different than every musical biopick that you've ever seen. Also,
they usually try to hide the fact that movies are musicals. Now,
like that seems to be the trick is like make

(56:19):
a musical and then don't show any of the songs
in it, and oh, what this a musical? No like
that the Mean Girl's remake that the entire reason for
it existing was The Mean Girl's the musical, but they
like cut the musical out of the title and made
a trailer where it was just a remake of Mean Girls. Yeah,
and I did great because people wait, yeah, and they're

(56:43):
saying and I guess I'm okay with that, but I
guess it's like not a selling point, so they're trying
to come up with other selling points. We've talked before
about the upcoming Pharrell biopic that.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
We're just doing people who were alive. I mean, Dylan's alive.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Dylan's alive. I do think a big part of the
problem way whatever biopics is that like if the person
like is so iconic that like, you know, everybody knows,
like Tupac, for instance, like everybody knows exactly what they
look like, everybody saw a lot of them on camera,

(57:20):
and then you like have a film with somebody else
playing that who's not as magnetic. The Tupac movie wasn't L.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
The Bob Marley movie wasn't L and a lot of
it was because these people look nothing fucking liked them.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
You're like, what the fuck is?

Speaker 2 (57:34):
But Straight Out of Compton was not a l I
love that movie.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
That was.

Speaker 3 (57:38):
I mean that's where it's like thank god you had
Osha Jackson, Junior.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
Ice Cube and like that and the acting was great.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
But like with the Tupac one, they just went after
a dude who went viral for looking like Tupac and
we're like, get him some acting classes and that's what
you got there. So the for real, I'm like a
huge I'm a gigantic pharal fan. Oh really growing up
oh like because people are like, oh, you kind of
look like is he Asian or not? And I was like, oh,
you know what, this might be like a style lane

(58:07):
for me, like when I was like seventeen years old,
and like the Neptunes, I have like a near encyclopedic
knowledge of like every song like produced and artists they
collaborated with. But when I saw the trailer for this,
when I went to see Beetle Juice Beetle Juice, and
I growned so fucking hard. I was like, why is
Pharrell a fucking lego? Like what are we even doing here?
And also this isn't the time for a Pharrell biopic.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
It just came to me. It came off as such
a weird cash.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
Grapes like me or the Minions involved as well.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
It just Lego should I mean it should or like
he never more inspired than when he is making music
for the Minions.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Or animated like, yeah, dude does.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
He seems to be very artistically inspired by like cartoons
and kids entertainment.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
Yeah, it's it's very whimsical, Like it's great. No, I
don't think so, Okay, there were a lot of times
I remember in the early days of the Internet it
was like, oh, you know he's Filipino, and like are like,
well really really really, people are like really digging in
it's it still seems it seemed like a mystery.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
Unless you probably Wikipedia and the answers there.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
But all that to say, it's like, I don't this again,
Why is it a Lego? Is it because the Lego
movies do well and you're just trying to have some
synergistic thing here where it's like for real, plus Legos
take your kids and then you can hear Snoop Dogg
talk too, But they.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
All look like fucking Legos. You know what Jack said.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
It's it is a cash grab.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
It's a cash grab. And all Lego toys look pretty similar,
like all the Legos I know, and I'm trying to
work on that.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
And I said that first, and I have to check
my old white supremacy in my bad.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
But like they like show these people who are supposed
to like go Barner, uh oh wow, yeah, like oh yeah,
he's this is where he gave that song idea to
that famous artist and it's just like another Lego person
but like they have a goatee and you're like, uh
oh guys, buster rhymes in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
Of like famous producers, And given how Diddy has gone
down right.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Why what happen?

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Yeah? It does make me feel like slightly like like
let him do this, because like maybe maybe this is
just me being naive. I know, Diddy did come out
with some sort of documentary like about himself or like
you know, people do all kinds of crazy things. But
I'm like, maybe it means like because like if you
also had like really awful shit on you, would you

(01:00:46):
want to be doing press tours? Like you know what
I mean. It makes me feel like, oh, maybe he's
like a good guy. Like, it's the way I feel
about fifty cent and fifty cents got a documentary I
think about Diddy where which makes me be like, oh,
maybe fifty cent is like actually not a bad person,
Like maybe he doesn't have rape allegations and assault allegations,
because why would you be doing his documentary?

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
Quick Google sears, Oh, quick Google sears.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Probably not.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
But no, But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
There's something about this that I'm like, Okay, maybe maybe
there's still good people in music out there. Who are
you know, we once admired.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
I think at this point it's a safe bet to
just presume that anyone at the height of the entertainment
industry probably has like a graveyards worth the skeletons in
their closet.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
I think so too.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
The me too moment really passed over the music industry
and was like too much, too big, We'll get back
to this need.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Music, I need music to do drugs to at least
it's too much homework.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Yeah, too much homework, yeah yeah, yeah for real.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Though for Rell, the one so suggesting that this really
is just them trying not to have to cast somebody
who looks like the iconic person, we also have the
Robbie Williams movie that is coming out soon. Robbie Williams
is a massive star in the UK. He's a guy right, No,

(01:02:10):
that's Robin.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Yeah, that's Robin Fix's son. Right, that's Alan Fix's son,
Alan Thix's son, Robin. Okay, now that Robin. Robbie Williams
like had a couple songs of the early two thousands
that like broke through in the US. I think, yeah,
Millennium is one where he's and like he's basically like hot, right,

(01:02:34):
Like that's kind of his thing. He's like a hot
boy idol like, but he's still alive. He's still too
fresh in people's memory to have a biopic starring anybody
who's just like a what we're saying, yes exactly exactly.
And so what they've done is they were like, Okay,

(01:02:54):
so they're thinking, like, Okay, we have this problem that
we can't solve with Robbie Williams, this Robbie Williams biopic,
Like how do we cast it? And then they at
around that time, the Planet of the Apes movies are
coming out, and they're like, what if Robbie Williams a
monkey for some reason? Yeah, And not. Not everybody in

(01:03:18):
the movie a monkey. And now I'm gonna start talking
like the politician that we were just meeting for the
first time out of Virginia. Not everybody monkey. Robbie Williams though,
he mon, let's see this teaser really quick. Thank you? Yeah,
their kids kicking a what's the monkey, Williams?

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
What is the true story here, this chimpanzee who evolved
into a hot singer or what? Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
Does he become human at some point?

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
No, I think it's it's meant to be. Because he
said different. I've always felt a little less evolved, yes,
and interesting, Yeah, it's evolved.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Okay, this feels like a cover for me too.

Speaker 1 (01:04:04):
Stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
I've always felt less evolved. My animal instincts got the
better of me. Haven't you seen my biopic I'm I'm
a monkey.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
I'm a bit of one of those freak chimps that
will rip your arms off with them.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Yeah it so. The really shocking thing about this is
that it has come out like at various festivals and
people think it's good, Like it got of eighty six
percent on Rotten Tomatoes. People are like, this thing actually
goes it's fucking cool or tears shed somehow, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
I look, I don't want to judge it. Like do
something different, you know what I mean. It's better to
have this than the same old, same old biopic, which
for the longest time I thought was biopic, which I
still think it should be pronounced biopic. But that's all
a biography, like a biopsy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
But like, are you getting a biopsy?

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Yeah? I always think of like cancer check, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Whatever biop But but right like it's like, okay, there did
something different. I don't know why it had to be
about Robbie Williams, but it sounds like it's a nice
movie about a chimp that finally learns it's his place
and it's on.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
The stage and inspires a generation.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
No, like, I'd prefer some just weird thing where it's
like if Pharrell was an alien, you know, because he
says that a lot and amongst people growing up, he's like,
I always felt different, my creativity out Like he says
that a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
Like I think it's even in the trailer about how
he said I always felt different.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
It's like that's a better thing to see than like,
oh so now you're a fucking lego.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
No, not right, no three thousand biopic that it needs
to be him secretly he's been an alien the whole time. Yeah,
he's been trying to tell you the whole time. That's
what at Aliens was like. Everybody like that. That shit
was not ironic, nothing, not a metaphor for aliens. You
are to me. You are not listening to me. I

(01:05:59):
am what actually from it? I just want to be heard.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Yeah, no one even noticed my flute is using alien technology.
Everyone goes, wow, we've got cool flute. He's got it's
from another fucking planet, y'all. Anyways, Hollywood, make that happen.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
Things are so weird though, at this point that I
saw this tweet, So somebody retweeted a thing from at
discussing film blue check mark, so you know it's real.
That announced an animated Phil Collins biopic is in the
works that will take place in the world of Grand
theft On. Collins will voice himself. It's almost like, Okay,

(01:06:35):
what the fuck is going on? And I was just like, yeah, no,
that is not that. The strangest biopick that I've heard
of of a musician yet this year.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
That really sounds tight. Like I don't even know Grand
Theft's Auto very well, but I know Phil Collins music,
and I feel like those two things work kind of
well together.

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
Yeah, Animated Genesis Phil Collins thing is fine. But this
is this isn't real. I'm guessing because this this can't be.
I don't understand why this would make sense to anyone
who's actually making films to be like, all right, man,
can we get the biggest video game franchise ever and
use that IP to then mash that together one of

(01:07:14):
my favorite musicians, Phil Collins.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Man, it's a sick fucking movie right there. No it's
not true, right, it's not true. It's not true. No, no, okay, yeah,
And I'm the same way as we would be sitting
there reporting that it was true. But our writer JM
McNab was like, guys, this isn't true.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
You guys, hey, don't do it. Don't don't say it's true. Believable,
it's all about IP.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
Yeah it is, and and and also a little bit
of like not paying actors, and I you know, I
don't know what the state of the animators strike is
right now, but I'm like, you know a lot of
this you gotta imagine these were films that were being
made during the writers strike and the SAG strike, So

(01:07:59):
that's my we might be seeing the product of that
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Yeah, it's such a fun, whimsical origin story where Pharrell
was just like playing with legos and we were like,
oh my god, no, actually it was to fuck a
bunch of people out of as much money as possible.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
We told Farrell this is that this he probably is
going to get the biggest return on it being animated.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
Yeah, he's gonna announce he's a billionaire at some point too.

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Right, could be.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
I wonder, I mean if Selena Gomez just became a billionaire.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
I know, I'm so disgusted with I don't know, you know,
you guys talked about I'm just so disgusted with these
stories billionaires, Like a newly minted billionaire. Shut that fuck up.
This is so.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
Illia's jealous, Yeah, because you'll never be one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
Well, I make like a third like what I make.
I don't even know how much I make compared to
a million dollars, but like it is, we were talking
about it earlier. It is really funny that people who
make like good money, like millions of dollars a year
who are fine, who are like taking great vacations and
live in wonderful homes. Truly, we are being told and

(01:09:08):
somehow believe that they are closer to being a billionaire
than they are to like, you know, being a McDonald's
worker or a Walmart greeter, you know what I'm saying,
Like and like, no, no, you have way more in
common with a Walmart greeter than you do with billionaires.
And by the way, you're being taxed at a eight
that like anyway, it's just like you're the ones.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Who should be so mad, and yet you're voting for
Trump at.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Like people who make like half a million dollars or
a million dollars a year, which is like, good, good
on you. That's fine, you're a hard worker. But if
they realize there's a pro public study that came out
that it was just like shows you the discrepancy. People
who are in that mid tier are paying way more
in taxes than the richest and they should be fucking livid.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
About it, right, And those are like people that they
I think it's like a perfect group to have that
because they become the fighters for like the taxes are
killing Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Yes, because they have their phone owners, they have political
power their voters exactly, and it's just.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
Yeah, that Zillow argument is going to be hitting with them. Yeah,
people love their home.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
Fin we just got a curb report or whatever that
shit's called. What your what your mom house worth?

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
But yeah, forell I mean, come on, yeah, they have whatever. Dude,
just he's not a billionaire yet, you know. Did you
see Sina Gomez though, she said when they brought it up,
She's like, I'd rather not talk about money. I think
it's in poor taste, Like you fucking billion that's such
a fucked up answer to give. Like, I think it's
in poor taste to talk about the fact that I've
become a billionaire, Like y'all, yeah, come on.

Speaker 1 (01:10:44):
You lose the right to do that once you become
a billionaire.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
It's not importance, exactly. It's not importaste to be a billionaire.
It's importaste to.

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Talk about it, right, right, you better give make a
bunch of that money away so you're no longer a billionaire.
Then we'll stop asking you questions about it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
Yeah, She's like, dude, I'm in that sweet spot, dude, million.

Need at least three days of post on any video
that I appear in so that they can turn me
into a lego version of myself. All right, we'll see.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
Well what worked that out? And a piece of media
I'm enjoying it is a tweet that I've been saying
out loud to myself all week. It's uh sachow chow,
mister Shaw on Twitter, who says al Pacino saying, moo dang.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
Got a great ass.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Mo dang, they got a great ass.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Oh god, that's so good. I didn't know your al
Pacino was that good.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
I love that part of Heat only.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
But got a great does he say got a great ass?

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
She got a great, great ass? And you got your
head all the way up And wait what you just
turned into?

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
When did you decide to only act by yelling? Like
I watched The Godfather Too again and it's just like
you know and one and were like, remember what he
like didn't yell all the time, and like did subtlety?

Speaker 1 (01:13:03):
It was the math is so simple on that Francisca.
It is when he won an oscar. He won an
Oscar for sen of a Woman, in which his character
had a Southern accent for no reason and shouted intermittently
and he was like, oh, this is what you want, Okay,
I got something. It was so much more than he's

(01:13:24):
done that ever since.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
And he also danced tango. I love that movie.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Oh god damn. He makes love to the screen in
that movie so creepy. He yeah, there's a part of
that movie I can never get over. And he smells
a woman's perfume and is able to guess her name
based on the perfume.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
So creepy.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
That is some pickup artist fantasy. Yes, yeah, exactly. Let
me smell your neck, birl, Yeah, Brenda, Yeah, it is
straight up no, not at all, not even fenda. I
do think like somebody needs to write a three hundred

(01:14:08):
page dissertation about the connection between scent of a woman
and like pick up pro culture. Yeah, he is basically
Superman of pickup artists.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
Speaking of biopics that were good, I mean the Ray
Charles biopic with Jamie Foxx. But I always think about
that risk thing that apparently Ray Charles would do is
feel like, meet women and then feel their wrists and
then decide whether or not they were hot based on
that risk.

Speaker 1 (01:14:40):
What if the woman is just beautiful but has like
has broken her wrist in three places?

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
Yeah no, sorry, because my man was off heroin man,
he had methods.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
You know, he's actually just looking for a good vein.
My favorite person.

Speaker 3 (01:14:56):
Is like, okay, girl, let me I can feel right there.
Oh yeah that's healthy now. Just my favorite part of
Ray is bolhem wood buying. When he's like this saying
No Weed Ray and we ain't snorting, no bitch this
boy that and boil make your ass nulling boyd.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
That whole fucking monologue. No Weed Ray is a strong
touchstone of the I mean, now that we're doing video episodes,
we might as well just insert that right here. It's
very definitely it's fairy. Yes, yes, it's a touchstone. It's
one of the video touchstones of No Weed Ray. Amazing. Well,

I think I said check Jack and I on the
basketball podcasts, jack ont ma Booties, and like check out
Fortuny Malbou Barbie and is uh some tweets? I like,
there's actually some good tweets, Like when I every time
I open the Twitter feed, it's always like the weirdest.

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Mix of shit.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
Elon's trying to push on you now and then things
that are semi relevant to you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
So it's nice to see some tweets.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
I liked first one at Melissa m where tweeted, kids
aren't reading entire books because they are not being offered
personal pan pizzas. Upon completion BAM policy solution for people
of a certain age. You knew about how that pizza
hut personal pan pizza was hitting, even though I wasn't
always reading the books, but I said I was. At
Lorena Escunzale tweeted, so immigrants come to this country with

(01:16:34):
fentanyl en guns to sell, but steal your job, demanding
to work for less than minimum wage. Then with all
those sub minimum wages outbid you on a house and
maybe eat your pets. Okay, got it, got it, got it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
And then finally a friend of the show, Margaret Killjoy
at Magpie kill Joy, we always talk about how like
compassion you could like the one side of seeing these
disasters happen, even in places we're like, oh God, what's
gonna come of us is that you ultimately people do
show each other. Compassion and mutual aid is very real.
So at Magpie Kiljoy, she tweeted, disaster, compassion is real.

(01:17:13):
Here's some things I've seen today and yesterday in western
North Carolina, like an entire thread of just like really
fantastic like anecdotes observations.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
She made Like this is a really long thread, and.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
It's everything from just just the simplest things of people,
you know, helping each other, to like tool libraries opening
up to help people fix things and.

Speaker 1 (01:17:33):
All this other stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:17:34):
So I think for a world right now where we
lack a bit of hope and thinking that we have
lost total compassion for each other, I think this was
like a really nice thread and also underscores the importance
of mutual aid and solidarity.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
So yeah, yeah, and a lot of groups are accepting
donations to whether like on you know, monetary or even
just like goods, clothing and all kinds of sanitary stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
Yeah, we will link off to some of those places
in though footnote tweet. I've been enjoying Friend of the
show at Danielle Radford tweeted Megalopolis is a lot of things,
and one of them is like if Baz Luhrmann made
a Batman movie but lost the rights halfway through production.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
That's because like the beginning I was like I'm going
to make a Batman movie, like I'm here for it.
I can't believe that hasn't happened already, right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
And then I also Daniel lieu at Daniel day Lewis
tweeted top ten funniest acting choices ever made. Here, Miss
Kidman is searching for a clue that might help her
find her missing child, and for a brief second, she
chooses to look around this dark room with a pair
of binoculars, almost as if to say, what are binoculars

(01:18:43):
and how do they work? It's really she's like shuffling
through a desk, like looking at all these like papers
and notes, and then she just picks up a pair
of binoculars and just does this with them, which might
see I'm gonna put the link in there for people
watching to check out.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Is this still Megloopolis?

Speaker 1 (01:19:04):
No, this is just a a new movie. I don't
know what it's from. Okay, And that's a great if
if I was better at my job, I would have
I would have looked ahead of time. But I did not.
Let me say, is anybody in the comments? Is it
the next anything useful? No? It's Twitter now, of course

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
This is a track by the group Common Saints, and
it's called Sweet Release, and it's got like really kind
of nice sort of folk trippy, folky vocals in the beginning,
and then like the like the full drum kit comes
in and it becomes a little bit more or of
a head nodter groover track. But I really love the
vocal mixed specifically on it. So if you got headphones,
