Speaker 1 (00:05):
You're watching anything good, watching season two of Shrinking. You're
watching the penguin, the big tall one, Pestal, Pestal, You're
just watching videos of that dude.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, I love I love that guy. I'm
gonna start telling people I'm watching the penguin. I just
mean the big tall penguin. Yeah, he's so tall. Yeah,
I guess, I guess. So, all right, that's probably something.
(00:37):
That's that's something.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It took me like halfway through that to realize, you
guys are trying to get a cold open.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It's hanging out with me.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm always workshopping. Anytime I'm talking to someone, I'm workshopping
cold open material.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
You and Lorne, both of you, guys.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, Hello the Internet, and welcome to season three,
sixty one, Episode four of Dear Dailies. I guys stay
production of iHeartRadio, America's Only Undecided podcast. We're still making
(01:21):
up our minds. You know, Trump keeps doing these Univision
women's he's reaching out to women's and we're just we're
still learning. We're taking in new information, we're processing, but
we just we still don't know. So the New York
Times hit us up if you want to like throw
(01:43):
a viewing party for us or something like that, like
you do for other undecided voters. We our phones. The
lines are open. This is a podcast where we take
a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. And it is Friday,
October eighteenth, twenty twenty four. My name is Jack O'Brien
aka put uncle dunk duot dude, Put uncle dunk d
(02:07):
put uncle dunk. Do that that one courtesy of Hercule
puro ghe progi pracule perogi on the discord. Great name
uh in reference to peduncle, one of the great words
that I've learned in the past week. It means the
(02:28):
main stem. We learned it in reference to pumpkins having
a big old fat peduncle stems that. That's why farmers
are like, no, we can't, You can't come to the
actual pumpkin patch. They got peduncles that you're not gonna
be able to deal with. You can't deal with all
this peduncle. So that's why they just like have pumpkin
(02:50):
patches and parking lots now where they just like buy
pumpkins from Kroger and put them in a parking lot.
But anyways, I just love that word. My main takeaway,
I don't really give a shit that they aren't fake
punkin patches, but I do give a shit about the
word peduncle, and I like it. It sounds like a
description of a big, old dumb guy with a big
(03:12):
butt or something.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Anyways, I am thrilled to be joined once again by
a hilarious stand up comedian, writer, actor, improviser, the co
host with the mo host. You can catch her on
stand up stages everywhere. Check her website at the monthly
Facial Recognition comedy show, which she also produces. It's pobay.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
They pay of Paradise and put up a pumpkin patch.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
They did, and they did, and that is America's biggest problem.
According to me, an undecided.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Voter, I'm a political. I'm a political about pumpkin patches.
I just don't like to think about it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It doesn't really affect me, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So how are you doing, Paula.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'm good. I was recount the horrors of Terrifier three,
and now that you will in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So we did a story the last time you were
on that. Terrifier three is the number one movie in America.
It destroyed the other killer clown movie Joker foll Joker too,
and did yeah, Joker, that's right, and you went and
saw it and you said it was.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I don't I'm dedicate my next therapy session to just
talking about it because like I don't understand, like a
lot of people walked out and the ends, like the
entire time. Juckies was like, we can leave if you
need to leave, and I was like, I don't know.
It was it was definitely the most gory thing I've
(04:49):
ever seen, but beyond that, it was like fucked up
like but also like and terrifying. It was fucked up,
bro like super fucked up, but like all so like
terrifying but also like funny in parts, And I was like,
what is I it's you.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I don't know. I can't tell anyone to go see it.
But also I will never forget it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
There's unforgettable. You do sound exactly like the person they
interview in a in a commercial for like a horror movie. Yeah,
I was shaken. I was I'll never forget it. They
just like hut out the parts where you're like why
are they doing this?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah, where you seem like existentially troubled.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I have a lot to think about, honestly, you do.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I mean you also like mentioned that the killer clown
in Terrifier three, you were like, I was actually really
impressed with their clowning. Yeah, deep clowning.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Not like they definitely, I'd be very surprised if they
weren't like a fully trained clown.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, like they trained at that school in Paris, where.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Like like I'm not even kidding, Like, yeah, that's like
the best clown work I've seen in a movie in
like a long time.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, speaking of some of the best clown work, worse
rip to be joined by a very funny stand up
comedian and writer out of New York City who's written
for The Young Ing and Colbert. You can see a
stand up special on his YouTube channel, Django Industries. It's
Django God.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Hello, Hello, thank you for allowing me to bring my
clownings you guys. It's funny how clown is just like
probably I'm sure you can tell the La scene. It's
become such a huge like faction of like the comedy scene.
Now there's like, yeah, it's like a clown aissance is
happening right now.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I do want to.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I want to give credit to Chad Damiani because he
is like the link between clowning in LA and stand
up and so like there is more more mesh between
that those worlds.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Now, would you say, is a scene dominated by roving
gangs of like bully clowns pile out of the car
and like surround you town to where.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Kick your ass while juggling, I would honestly be more
terrified of roving gangs of male comedians.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So yeah, that's right, Jo, I didn't mean. I was
just saying clown in the way that a high school
bully would call someone a clown. When we're saying you
speaking of clowns, This next clown has written for a
cold bet.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Okay, so a more demeaning way.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I just want to make a clown professional and personal clown.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's right, clown.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It doesn't make the audience line.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
That is something I will say. I want to like
see more.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
This is so stupid, but I want to see more
clowning because because I do respect it as an art form.
I back to like all, like all types of performances,
I think it depends on the individual performance whether it
could be great or not. But I want to see
because I do know that sometimes clowning, like people often
fall into the thing of like getting naked or eating
(08:16):
crazy shit or doing like body stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
And I'm like yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I'm like, what, Like, I want to see more shades
of clouding before to educate.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
About those shades of clowning. So I clearly have a
lot to learn. I didn't know about the nudity or
the muck bang class. Jacks.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Jack's in now, he's all in.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, that's now. I'm back. All right, Jango, We're going
to get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a
few of the things we're talking about today. So this
election at this point, like nobody knows what's going to happen.
It's like watching a weather report for a day three
weeks in the future. We're just like, I don't know,
(08:59):
could be really bad or not. Seems to be Like
we talked on yesterday's trending about like this polling article
from the New York Times where they're just like, yeah,
it could like so it could be like a big
miss towards the Republicans, or the opposite could be true. Also,
and we're just and these were like they're experts. So anyways,
(09:21):
one thing we do know for sure is it's going
to be a complete shit show at the polls. Election.
Poll workers already being kind of targeted by Trump conspiracy theories,
and the same Trump conspiracy theories that are similar to
the conspiracy theories that have like militias pulling guns on
FEMA workers recently. So it's just like a gnarly situation
(09:45):
that poll workers are walking into. And we are going
to try to engage the help of unpaid teenagers. Apparently
that is a big part of the plan, is getting
high school students tovolunteer to do pole working because they
can't find enough people who are willing to do it
(10:05):
not for a college credit. So we'll talk about that.
We will talk about just Trump's recent run of appearances
where his brain appears to be melting like cotton candy
that someone just dumped a diet coke onto. We'll talk
about the headquarters of the place where he makes his
six figure watches. That there's a place a company that's
(10:29):
based in Wyoming. CNN went there and I just the
physical description of the place where these watches are made
is pretty incredible. So we'll talk about that, and of
course we will talk about tostitos and Dorito's and how
they're fighting shrinkflation, but not really all of that plenty more.
But first, Jango, we do like to ask our guests,
(10:51):
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
This is a good one that really kind of encompasses
a lot of my my anxieties. But the last thing
I searched for was can a radiator catch your mattress
on fire? Because obviously, you know, in New York it
started started to get cold finally, and the old creaky
radiator started up. And the first thing I thought I
(11:16):
was like, oh my god, I'm gonna die in the fire. Yeah,
this is gonna happen. So I looked up.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Also, it's very New York that your mattress is basically
on top of your radiator.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
That's the thing I could move it away with, I would
sacrifice like one third of my bedroom space. So I
had to carefully weigh that against whether I want to
be alive or not.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, I lived in a room so small in New
York that my mattress was not flat on the ground.
It was like I also just like had three pieces
of furniture and I probably could have only had two in.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
The room, you know, And so it need that big
that big wood.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I didn't need that globe. Yeah it was a globe
and the other one was just a giant steer wheel
from a ship.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, it's called interior design.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The heating situation in New York is so wild. It
really like is the most steampunk thing that just exists
in our Yeah, hot stuff goes through this pipe and
the pipe is like growling at you throughout the night.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
It's also wild how hot it gets like at the
first Like I feel like in my building that they're
kind of like testing out different temperatures. First day, ninety
eight degrees. Vietnam can't beat jungle just immediately, just ghost
Yeah awful. So they're fine tuning at the moment. But
(12:46):
as long as I'll die in my sleep, I'll be
a happy camper.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Oh this is a new one for me. So my
whole life, I've been like a like an ice cream purist,
Like I'm like anti gelata, anti frozen yogurt. My my
thinking has always been you know, if you're gonna indulge,
indulge all the way full fat. Yeah. Yeah, recently I
had a nice little scoop of sorbet and brother sister,
I think I might be on I might be on
(13:14):
the Sorbet train.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I think it's sort of pussy. I know, I know,
I know, but you said obviously I can't.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
It's a very alpha male of you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I'm coming in here saying like sorbet clown.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
It's like it's almost it's like such like a fake
food because it's just like pure.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
And I taste like clouds.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
It tastes like clouds. It has no nutritional no fat
now at all. It's kind of like it's like you
know when the zoo keeper will put like a like
a on, like like a puppet of an animal, and
I put it in the cage with the put like
a ferret puppet. It's like that's like the version of
ice cream I'm eating with sorbet. But I do find
it quite quite light and refreshing. So that's my underrade
(13:58):
pick of the week.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, it's it's good. It does make up for any
loss of fat with just being the sweetest. Yeah, like
the most sugar that you can possibly concentrate into a
tiny little spoon. Yea, And I appreciate it for that.
That is one of the things I've learned to love
about sorbet is it's it's sweeter than ice cream in
(14:22):
some cases.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
In any cases, well, it's fruit fruit juice, which is
already really sweet, add sugar to it.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
What if this was like way sweeter though, Like so
it was like not even a liquid anymore, but like
more gelatinous. Yeah yeah, but so wait, gelato is that
a healthier alternative to ice cream? I always thought it
was just softer.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
It's just your European and you know, as a as
a red bladed American male, I naturally assume assume that
it's less full, less less fatty.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Right, it might not be true.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Silato has four to the usual ten to twenty percent
of ice cream, so it is lighter and healthier.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
So there's like an inject air into it to make
it puffier. I guess, Okay, not for me.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Nice try nice, Try Italy, but.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Watch again, no poc slander against the Italians, okay, my brother?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Where Italians are considered poc.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Me and ariana grandi.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Brandy when when it was our grandfather. It was the grandies,
but now it's GRANDI. What is What's something you think
is overrated?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Man, I've tried for years to get on board with this,
but I think I'm done with buying, nurturing and watching
house plants die. I think I'm just done with plants
because they just always fucking They just immediately start getting
sicker and sicker. As soon as I take them home.
They attract they attract bugs. When out of town, I
(16:06):
have to have a friend over. It's just too much
work and I suck at raising them. So I think
might I might be out on the pandemic plant.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Okay, that's I'm hearing. I'm hearing what you're saying, and
I'm hearing you go, come on.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Get out of here.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I want anyway that you die.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
It's an situation. But I mean, I don't know how
much more love and attention can I give these things
and they just wilt. They immediately will. It's suppressing.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I mean, even in the canopy jungle of your room.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I know if they can't survive here, they can't they
can't make it anywhere.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I also feel that it might be the widely, vastly
fluctuating temperatures probably killing them and also partially you at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's like your room is like the surface of mercury.
It's like it's freezing. It's zero celsius.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I'm certainly not sclaiming the plan. I'm certainly not absolving myself.
I've not been a good father figure to these guys. Yeah, almighty.
Some of us just aren't cut out for it.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Maybe you need to be like a step dad to
a plant first, and then that'll ease you back it.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
You can adopt a plant.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
If I could got another household to raise the plant
to maturity, then I could come in and take it
to go to see baseball games. That would be ideal.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah. Yeah, just fostering a plant situation. Maybe you could
be the friend who's watering other people's plants when they're
out of town.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Oh yeah, I can dig that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You're not the step plant dad, you're the plant dad
that's stepped down.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's right, right, Yeah. Yeah, plants are temperamental. I've had
varying levels of success, like California. Southern California is Like
I went from Missouri to New York to southern California,
and I tried Missouri, and I tried to have a
garden in Missouri and I was very unsuccessful. New York
(17:57):
didn't even bother like other than like a couple of
orchids that lasted a week or so, and then oh orchids.
I I I am known in the orchid community. It's
like an I am legend situation in the orchid community.
Spoiler alert for the end of that movie. But yeah,
they they know about me and run when I enter
(18:20):
a room. And then Southern You come to southern California
and you just like drop an apple by accident and
like a tree is growing there the next day. It's
just like the most just a verdant place in the
world fertile, verdant, other vocabulary words calif Right, Yeah, so
(18:44):
I recommend moving to southern California. That might be the
easiest problems.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Move across the country.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There, you go, that's true. It does they do love
a sorbet out here because everybody's vegan.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
H yeah, I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Actually, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
It's a nice vegan option for me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
When people want to go get ice cream and I'm like,
but I want to be included. We're like at a
at a restaurant they have sorbet often.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, its are.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
What are you having pre dinner?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
The three globes of ice? Please, I don't want to
I don't want to be Let's give me three globes.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come
back and we'll talk about the news. And we're back, like,
how's everybody doing with the election? Like I'm I'm the
(19:51):
fear is on me, I said, for like a couple
of weeks now the fear is on me. I'm just
like having flashbacks to twenty sixteen, reading a bunch of
shit about like how the polling can go as in
the past, like vastly underestimated Trump. I'm like oscillating between
that and then being like, if Trump loses, maybe this
(20:11):
is it because his brain so bad, Maybe the whole
like open fascism thing will will be gone. But how
are you guys feeling? Is everybody hanging in there?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Feels like we really we like Blake and I we
went from like six months out to three weeks out
and seemed like it was it just came down the
pike real quick, and I was like, oh, the rubbers
being the road here, and yeah, I think I think
what you're what you're talking about is like kind of
my anxiety where it's like the more you read, the
less calm you feel, because you just keep on getting
(20:44):
all these like contradictory you know, op eds you see
and like they'll can you know, I'm very malleable in
my opinions. So like any articles like yo, like oh,
Harris is a lot for Michigan, Like great, it's in
the bag. We're done. And then like it's like, oh,
these poles are all nonsense.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, Michigan's over. Yeah, Michigan kiss, Michigan could buy assholes.
It's Trump Country.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
The best thing I've been doing for myself is just
trying to remind myself.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
That nobody knows anything.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Nobody knows anything.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, And by saying your opinions are very malleable, that's
because you're still an undecided Like yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Well I'm still pretty much in the bag for Cornell
West h.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah that where did that? What happened?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
God damn, he's still going straw man. He can he
got a victory, and uh, what's the state you can win? Alaska?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Oh well that's unfortunately. So I think one of the
big things that we know is going to be an issue,
is the like what is going to happen at the
polls on election day. This was a big concern heading
into the twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Election, handing out comedy flyers at the election day, I will.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Be barking, bring your friends, I'll bring a.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
QR code for my Instagram. They're going to be in line.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Have assault rifle as well as that.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah show, that's yeah. I mean that you'll fit in
better if you have an assault rifle. I remember having
these concerns heading into the twenty twenty election, and that
was before they staged an insurrection to try and overturn
the results of that election. So and by the way,
Trump has recently gone on record referring to the people
(22:28):
who were aded on January sixth, says, we like we
and we were very peaceful. So that's unnerving. And I
think it's just one of the big questions concerns surrounding
this election, like, first of all, how safe will it
be for them? Second of all, will there actually be
any read that first question about how safe it's going
(22:50):
to be? Will anybody actually want to do this job?
Because there is a massive shortage in poll workers owing
to a mass exodus in twenty twenty caused by the
pandemic first of all, and then countless Trump inspired threats
and intimidation campaigns like that. It was ugly in twenty twenty.
(23:13):
Like there, I still remember like some of those scenes
in like Detroit where there was just like massive crowds
of Trump supporters like chanting stop the count outside of God. Yeah, yeah,
they're talking about that. They're talking about the count from
Sesame Street.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
He's an immigrant, Get him out of here.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
What's he doing in this election.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I'm going to take your jobs.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I want to stop the count.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
The shortage is pretty understandable since more than half of
election officials have reported being concerned about the safety of
their colleagues or staff already this year. Because yeah, there
it's just there's constant like threats. There's a lot of
like right wing training happening. So yeah, it's it's not
(24:04):
just that like concerns that voting sites will be understaffed.
There's also like right wing conspiracy theorists. Theorists are actively
trying to use the shortage to install their own pole watchers,
as you know, workers in swing.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
States who will watch the watchers.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Right yeah, so they will watch the watchers.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
They're going to watch.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
I gotta say, all these factoids you're dropping here are
not making me feel any better.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
But I know it's not well, yeah's feeling good.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Well, let me just wreck that for you, right.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
He just check insurrection. My local high school gymnasium is
not mind at ease.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, And I feel like that's I don't know, it
feels like a tangible thing at least, but it's like
a very scary one.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
They keep in these like places where they're recruiting and
training right wing pole watchers. They're talking about acting as
a spy or a trojan horse. That's literally how like
a Christian right influencer described his plan. So yeah, yeah,
this is specifically what happened. There was there was a
(25:21):
usc like there. Their football team is called the Trojans.
There's like all their sports teams are called the Trojans.
And they had like a warm up video this year
where they were like pretending to be in the trophan
like they showed a Trojan horse and then like showed
themselves and it's like, wait, no, you guys are the Trojans,
Like you're the Trojan horse. Foled you it was against
(25:44):
to the Trojans.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Well, these football players aren't much on book learning.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
They're not they're not history majors. But anyways, that's what
the Christian rights planning to do. There are safeguards that
would prevent these workers from interfering in the electoral process,
but their presence will probably lead to, at the very least,
a lot of misinformation, which you know, is what we're
seeing happen, a lot of like just with her things
(26:12):
that straightforward as hurricane relief, you know, just sure Trump
and Jade vance hurricane as information.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
What does training entail? Like, like what does it mean?
Are they are they getting trained in martial arts?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Like what they do? You've seen those videos of.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
It's going to like train them.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, it's a desert they're doing the the monkey bars
and then firing.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, all these elderly are kicking, kicking some serious ass
come to.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I'm guessing it has very little like physical training and
more just like here's where to apply and here's how
to make your presence felt even though you're not supposed to,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Here's how to use a voting machine that's made in
nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Right, So people the states have been desperate to hire
new poll workers because of this, and they're so desperate,
in fact, that in Kentucky they've been putting QR codes
on beer cans and wine bottles, allowing people to easily
sign up to be poll workers and then presumably it's
too late to back out of it once.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
That really is something you wake up like, oh my god,
I'm doing I'm doing what this week?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Why do I ever agree to make plans?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
That is crazy that they're trying to get drunk people
to sign up because they're like, only drunk people would
be would be willing to put their bodies that were Yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Know who loves waking up early on a weekday alcoholics
top of the crack of dawn. They'll be out there.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm sure we'll have the best that just election
day won't happen because no, he shows up. Nebraska is
allowing counties to draft workers to fill election vacancies, sort
of how we do jury duty? Yeah, paid though, right,
yes they do. How well they get paid is another question.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
That seems to be the solution right there, Just give
them more money.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Okay, but we don't want to do that go wait
a second, Okay, no, And also we're going to take
away whatever healthcare you have about.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So they're apparently turning to child labor in this worker shortage.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Children yearn for the polls.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
They do, so all the young Ruffians with their tiktoks
and Sony Discman's Is that right?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I walk into the tar pits right now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
You know, the ones that the very people who are
fueling the rise of Trump, like the Boomer et cetera,
like already hate so much, just NonStop, like it's their
favorite thing is to complain about them. That those people
are going to be like a sea of those of
(29:14):
these children are going to be awaiting the boomers at
the polls according to this plan, which I feel like
would would be the equivalent of like a bunch of
people with ars, Like they would be there to make
the Boomers feel safe, but then the children would just
they wouldn't know what to do. They'd be pretty furious.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
It's a bad situation where you have like some stone
seventeen year old like like counting ballots or being entrusted
in carrying a box of ballots to someone's car.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You know, Yeah, did you ever like have to do
like high school like fundraising work for I think I
did it for my basketball team where we like worked
at parking lots of like a fish show or like.
It was just like they were just hav high school
students and be like, yeah, you're doing child labor, but
(30:04):
you're doing it for this program that needs money to
like pay for gas to go to like the next
away game.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
So you just went up to people with like nitrous
balloons there.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Exactly, like worked a bingo hall where you couldn't like
see three feet in front of your face from the
cigarette smoke. Just like you know, just stuff like jobs
that could have been staffed by people and paid for.
They were just like, no, we'll just throw these children
(30:37):
at it. And it feels like that is the level,
like the lowest level of employment that you could possibly have,
is like we'll just make high school kids do it
because they will think it's like good for their resume.
That's like how it's being pitched to them.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Yeah, I worked on the last day of American democracy.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah exactly, but it's actually had like all over the country,
officials are actively recruiting high school students to become poll workers,
and while miners aren't allowed to become poll workers in
every in every state a loophole allows for it, as
long as they're pre registered to vote.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
There's gonna be a whole group of like weird in
cell dudes who haven't memorized like the ages that they're
allowed to be poll workers state by state.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
In some cases they're paid just like regular poll workers,
which I don't think as much because in other cases
they're simply asked to work for free pizza because the
gig is such a quote resume booster. So surely the
solution to this national emergency is not to treat election
(31:52):
workers even worse. But that does seem to be the
direction that we're going with it.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I think it actually might be a good thing, because
imagine you go with your like ar whatever to the polls.
You're this angry Republican and then a fucking teenager just
roast the shit out of your shoes, Like what are
you gonna do? You know what I mean, You're armed,
but disarmed, you know, Like, there's nothing crueler than a
teenager who has something to prove.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Yeah, I think a person with a gun, big.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, it's kind of hard to make fun of the
shoes of people who are carrying ars.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
But ye, nice gun loser.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
What are you gonna shoot me, you bitch?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Yeah much getting shot shot out in exchange for two
slices of Domino's pizza.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Right, But it's I mean, it seems like a bad
idea in terms of just like accomplishing the thing you're
looking for. It also seems cruel when you keep in
mind that, like, the reason there's a shortage of poll
workers the first place is due to widespread harassment, and
we're like just throw miners in that some miners of
(33:03):
the problem, and the fact that they're actually like that,
they're even selling it as this is valuable life experience
if you engage with like a disaffected voter who's mad
at you like this is a quote for Caswell students,
Dealing with the occasional frustrated voter can be a valuable
(33:23):
job skill experience. She said. One of the people was
speaking in favor of this plan. It's not the same
talking about it in a classroom as it is with
a stranger who's coming in yelling at them. She said,
they have to learn this is a real this is
real life. This happens if I work at McDonald's somebody
might get mad, whether they're right or wrong. It's a
(33:46):
valuable on the job.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Training to learn about suffering and danger because it later
I will also experience suffering and danger.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
Right, those scam life experiences, right, very bad thing that
happens to you. That's a viable life experience.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
It's pretty exposure.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Exposure and life experience
are on the same boat here. Yeah, I exposed to
a mad man with a gun.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
I one hundred percent would have done this to be
in like the Honor Society or something like. I would
have been one of the kids they duped. I would
have been like, yeah, I'll go, I don't care. I'll
it's good to add to my resume.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, it's good to add to my resume. Just covers
so much bullshit. It's I know, they can get you
to do anything, and nobody knows. There's like no way
to fact check that. Yeah, so I mean jango. As
you said earlier, the easiest thing to do would be
to pay poll workers like the essential workers they are.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Yeah, you'll you'll have to pay them once a year. Two.
For the record, this is a yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Some poll workers make less than ten dollars an hour,
which seems like it's too low. I'm not illegal, but
maybe not in right, but yeah, we convert that to pizza.
And so now we're doing conversions of dollars into pizzas,
which is good math experience.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You know, if you spend a fraction of your life
working at the polls.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, how much? Well you have left a number of
states have enacted new election worker protections, but the federal
response has just been, I don't know, not great. They
put together a special Federal Election Threats task Force, which
has resulted in seventeen total charges. There's been over two
thousand reports of threats and harassment to election workers and
(35:38):
since the task force was created in twenty twenty one,
but only one hundred of those were even investigated because
like a lot of you know, government enforcement agencies, they
are drastically understaffed and underfunded. And then they're like, well,
the government sucks at their job. And I was like, well,
you put like three people on a thing that requires
(36:01):
a full company is worth of people.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
It sounds like they need to hire some teenagers for
the investigation.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I know, exactly, get some tea teenage PI kid detected.
I mean if movies have taught me anything.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Encyclopedia Brown would get to the bottom.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Thank you exactly. All right anyways, so don't be worried
about the intangible things that you can't control. Be worried
about all the tangible things that you can't really can't
control unless you want to volunteer to be a poll worker,
you know.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Yeah, ask your ask your children if they.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Want to do you know where your kids are getting
the ship getting out of them at the pole?
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
God, what a time man when they used to just
have an ad at night at like ten o'clock being like, hey,
you you have kids, do you remember that?
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Wait, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back. And we're back, and we got a
(37:14):
daily Zeitgeist update update on a previous story where we
talked about how Donald Trump was selling a watch that
looked like shit, Yeah, I mean it looked like a
gold watch, like a kind of fancy gold watch, but
it had his signature somewhere on the face. I think
(37:34):
he's selling it for one hundred thousand dollars and it
was made like so people were like, where did he
suddenly get this watchmaking ability from? And they traced it
to a company based in Wyoming, and like when you
Google maps it it just looks like kind of a
(37:54):
building in the middle of nowhere. CNN actually decided to
go to this place that's clearly just a bogus address
used by shell companies, and they were shocked to find
there was no Swiss watch company. Yeah, and instead what
they found was all the.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Kids making the watches.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
The loop right there.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
That's right. Children. Child labor is the future of this country.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
The tight little figures are good for those gears.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You know, I really like, yeah they can. I mean
they love building with legos. This is just like one
step over. You do have to they get a little
they get a little careless, and so you do have to,
you know, use some motivation tactics that people don't want
to know.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
You have to waterboard the kids.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
One, yes, you do with a little juice box. So
it makes it to the fact that it's a daycare
is so bleak. It's a it's a daycare that shares
a parking lot with an H and R block, a
Wendy's and a vape and hempsmolk shop. So what a
strip mall get your childcare kill yourself in two easy ways.
(39:08):
Just need a liquor store to kind of create the
full trifecta.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
I feel like there might be there might be a
small watch factory in this building.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Maybe it's like Cinderella, where like the animals are doing.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Yeah, see, we got to use our imagination here. It's
not as bleak as we thought.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah, it's cute. It's probably cute in some way. I'm
sure it's cute. In addition to the quote the Best
Watches on Earth LLC.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I like that it's one word. Yes, that's a word,
The Best Watches on Earth LLC.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
The address was also being used by the company selling
Trump sneakers and a company selling the Best Honey on Earth,
all one word, the best on Earth, which sells male
enhancement honey. What.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
I don't think men need to be enhanced right now.
I think they need to be.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
De hand Okay.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Yeah, let's just back it up, you guys are it's
too much, too much honey.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
Male enhancement honey isn't very fun. That sounds like like
a term for a sex worker or something.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Also, if it worked, wouldn't the workers like rise up
against the queen bee? You know what?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I mean the male bees working.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
For the bees v ryle worker bees on the market.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I think it's literally for boomers who are like I
don't like pills, They're like.
Speaker 5 (40:39):
Easier to take a little thing of honey.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah, un sweetheart, I gotta dollop the honey into my mouth.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
It's just a normal thing of honey with like viagra
sprinkled throughout, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
Yeah, that sounds great. I think I need to get
on the get on the horn in.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
My account, does seem like a great business proposition. But
I mean, given the address and the similar name, we
don't have proof yet, but it does seem to suggest
that presidential candidate Donald Trump is selling honey that gives
people boners. Which this is the October surprise we've been
(41:20):
waiting for.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
There it is that is this good for Trump or
bad for Trump?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (41:27):
Yeah, people are at this point. I'm so confused, Like.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I can cure boners?
Speaker 5 (41:31):
Yea man, four more years of this, huh could be
good stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
They share the same organizer who just so happens to
spend all his time in Puerto Rico and therefore can't
comment on any of this. Cannot be reached for comment. Unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
But the guy who heads the company, Yeah, our fearless leader.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
The CEO of a Trump Trump boner honey.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah. I mean the fact that it's called the best
watches on Earth all one word LLC does suggest that
it is just Donald Trump in a wig, which we've
definitely seen in the past.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
His pseudonym was like Baron something right, John Baron.
Speaker 5 (42:12):
Or yeah, yeah Trump roly is a master of disguise.
I like my lawyer to represent me to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Fake mustache turns around backwards, comes back. Man's doing what
he thinks is a British accent.
Speaker 5 (42:32):
Oh, I'm seeing that down here. You guys are right.
The honey does just contain portions of viagrant. It's literally
a homemade fucking moonshine honey with you grind it in
a mortar and pestle viagrant sprinkle into into the honey.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
It's like Mom, yeah, yeah, just like Mom used to make. Yeah.
The FDA has warned people not to consume.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
I know, it seems it seems a good idea to
eat that sold out a watch factory, just.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
As medicine ground up in it.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Is like, oh, we're not going to approve your device
or like this thing, but they're like.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Please, I don't want to listen, Please.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Don't eat the bone or honey, we can't in good
conscience like nottic that's right, nice, try the FDA.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
Yeah, you guys just love women.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
And finally Tostitos and Doritos have stepped up to the plate.
We may not be able to count on the political
process to save us, but we can count on our
corporations owned by PepsiCo. So there. There was a period
early in the election when Joe Biden remember him, you
(43:54):
running for president? And Cookie Monster.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
Remember that as Okay.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
They teamed up to take on shrink flation, and Biden
specifically singled out potato chip companies. Man, yeah, potato chip
companies selling less chips than the same same size. Bangs.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
Man, it's like, you know, damn.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
By Joe then wandered off curtain somewhere.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Maybe he has just been high.
Speaker 5 (44:22):
What is like He's had like a sixty year polo
career and the capstone on all is like chips are
too small bye.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
And I'll be seeing myself out.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
But yet the most relatable aspect of his career, I.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
Mean, honestly, this is something that pisses me off, So
I'm pretty.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Happy to every I'm glad he's moving away from like
working with segregationists.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah right, his big stands before. Why can't we all
just get along? Man strom? Thurmon was cool, dude, man rock. Anyways,
there are reports that Pepsi Cooat is adding more chips
into chip bags, including Tostitos, Doritos, and lays, in order
(45:09):
to quote fight trink inflation.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
Yes, the hero of the common man.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yes exactly. Pepsi co always in touch, They're in touch
with my needs.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, hey, can you guys stop charging us for water?
Shut up and take the chips?
Speaker 5 (45:27):
Well, baby steps, that's what they do. They give us
more chips, and they keep charging more for the refreshing beverages.
We need to wash them down.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
With yeah, exactly. And they also have to be able
to fund those commercials that are responsible for slowly but
surely saving our hearts and minds, like the Kylie General one.
Speaker 5 (45:51):
You know, Oh I forget about that.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
That great. They've done their part. They've done their part.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
Kendall Jenner Jack, my god, what how dare?
Speaker 2 (46:02):
What has happened to me? I used to know what
was going on in this world? But so it turns
out they are putting more chips into bags, they are
selling them at the same price. They are also branding
them as bonus bags with twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
More chip boner bags, and we're gonna mix viagra.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
There will they will be Viagra dusted. So they're advertising
that they're adding back the chips they took away, but
just calling them bonus chips, which is like stealing someone's
wallet and then selling them back their ID and credit cards.
Is like bonus bonus wallet, bonus features, bonus collectibles.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
This might be coming out of left field, but I
think I would prefer instead of more chips, just one big.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Chip, I think is okay, No.
Speaker 5 (46:51):
No one big the family can do the fucking cartoon
corn thing on the size of it.
Speaker 4 (46:57):
This is unpleasant.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I don't way towards the middle. Everybody gets an.
Speaker 5 (47:02):
People said the same thing about the automobile.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Now, yeah running out of earth.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
Well yeah, I look on the bright side of life,
big chip.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
Yeah, cars are sick, and so are big, big old
giant chips.
Speaker 5 (47:17):
Thick chips too, half an inch with them?
Speaker 4 (47:20):
How a big big chip? Like how thick? And do
you want this chip to be?
Speaker 5 (47:24):
That's thick as the side of my hand. Okay, okay,
the big as a medium sized kite.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
You want it kite shaped?
Speaker 5 (47:33):
Yeah, now, I want it to be a diamond shaped.
I'm innovating so fast over here that it's changing the
parameters on the fly.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Learn a lesson from the pumpkin peduncle. Just go thick
and big and it'll be. It'll stay intact. People will
love it, people will come right they Yeah, they're actually
kind of doing that at Taco Bell. They just added
even biger giant cheese its to like one of their products, sore.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
Just they preach about the cheese it.
Speaker 5 (48:09):
Yeah, brother, They're adding other drunk food into their food.
They're literally like doing what a high person would do
it at home. They're taking out the middle man, like, yeah,
trying to do gummy bears taco I'm.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Sorry, I don't think you understand. The demographic that Taco
Bell is targeting to is the high person at all.
Speaker 5 (48:30):
I know.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
I guess so that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
I used to do this show where you would like
do a sober set and then you would get high
and do a high set, and like every time I
left afterwards, the Taco Bell next to it was.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
There was just a huge line of cars.
Speaker 5 (48:47):
It was wild cleaning out like a cartoon.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah yeah, no Taco Bell. The big cheese It Crount
Trap Supreme is back, and I think I think they've
made the cheese it bigger and they might have added
a second one.
Speaker 5 (49:03):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
They were like, not enough cheese it in this thing
that is basically wrapped around a giant cheese it.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
Every time I hear about it, talk about item, it's
always it's back.
Speaker 4 (49:13):
I'm like, when did they have this?
Speaker 2 (49:16):
That's right, bitches, it'squre.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Whether there's like pending FDA legislation they had to withdraw
their latest monstrosity.
Speaker 2 (49:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:25):
Yeah, the FDA is like, we please don't. We don't
advise you to eat this.
Speaker 5 (49:30):
Please stop wrapping this in.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Uh. The front Trap Supreme that is basically just wrapped
around a giant wax cornicopia is back.
Speaker 5 (49:39):
Holy shit, this is I'm reading the distriction of it
right now. An a la carte big cheese a cracker
sixteen times larger than the Star cheese Cracker. They got
my letter.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
Yeah, they've they've incepted. They went into your dreams.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
This is so so crazy.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
If inception exists in real life. I would hope that's
what they're using it for. Is just like, Yeah, that's
amzing through our dreams and like stealing all our best
ideas for fast food concoctions.
Speaker 5 (50:08):
A man, you can buy spiders of course.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
That's that's what they launched with the giant Jesus thing.
Speaker 4 (50:17):
That one didn't put the teeth that fell out of
their mouth into.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
That's where they came up with Baja blast is. They
were like, what a drink that makes all your teeth
fall out of your mouth the moment after you drink
it from just like sheer sugar consumption. Anyways, there, it

like brewing toxic sludge.
Speaker 3 (53:57):

A tweet I've been enjoying from Josh Gondleman, friend of
the show, Josh you tweeted billion dollar idea Santana Rob
Thomas remixes of smooth but about other kinds of weather.
Just instead of it being a hot one, you'd get like,
you know, it's a cold one money and the radiators
(54:50):
are radiator Yeah, I mean the songs. I would listen
to all of them, you know, be because I need
to play that song before leaving and popping through the
floor side style. That's the song that gets me going,
but sometimes it just doesn't feel right.
Speaker 4 (55:09):
Yeah, Okay, can I say something.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
I had a huge crush on Rob Thomas from match
Buck to Twenty when I was growing up, But I
also I also didn't realize he was different than the
director Rob Thomas.
Speaker 4 (55:22):
So I was like, that's this guy? Is that if
you know Veronica mars and Smooth, what's it? I was like, incredible.
Speaker 2 (55:35):
Yeah, I've definitely blended people. I can't think of the example,
but I've like blended people, not even people with the
same name.
Speaker 3 (55:41):
Sometimes people did that with Michael Jordan, like they thought
he was the guy who was invested in private prisons,
but that's like a white guy from like Oregon, and
so they were like, well, Michael Jordan's actually bad, right,
but he's not.
Speaker 5 (55:54):
Well, I was a kid of Michael Michael Jordan, Michael
Jackson sometimes blurred together, which is a crazy life if
you think about it.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
I want to run. That guy was on.

Bye Biche.
You're watching anything good, watching season two of Shrinking. You're
watching the penguin, the big tall one, Pestal, Pestal, You're
just watching videos of that dude.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, I love I love that guy. I'm
gonna start telling people I'm watching the penguin. I just
mean the big tall penguin. Yeah, he's so tall. Yeah,
I guess, I guess. So, all right, that's probably something.
(00:37):
That's that's something.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It took me like halfway through that to realize, you
guys are trying to get a cold open.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It's hanging out with me.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm always workshopping. Anytime I'm talking to someone, I'm workshopping
cold open material.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
You and Lorne, both of you, guys.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, Hello the Internet, and welcome to season three,
sixty one, Episode four of Dear Dailies. I guys stay
production of iHeartRadio, America's Only Undecided podcast. We're still making
(01:21):
up our minds. You know, Trump keeps doing these Univision
women's he's reaching out to women's and we're just we're
still learning. We're taking in new information, we're processing, but
we just we still don't know. So the New York
Times hit us up if you want to like throw
(01:43):
a viewing party for us or something like that, like
you do for other undecided voters. We our phones. The
lines are open. This is a podcast where we take
a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. And it is Friday,
October eighteenth, twenty twenty four. My name is Jack O'Brien
aka put uncle dunk duot dude, Put uncle dunk d
(02:07):
put uncle dunk. Do that that one courtesy of Hercule
puro ghe progi pracule perogi on the discord. Great name
uh in reference to peduncle, one of the great words
that I've learned in the past week. It means the
(02:28):
main stem. We learned it in reference to pumpkins having
a big old fat peduncle stems that. That's why farmers
are like, no, we can't, You can't come to the
actual pumpkin patch. They got peduncles that you're not gonna
be able to deal with. You can't deal with all
this peduncle. So that's why they just like have pumpkin
(02:50):
patches and parking lots now where they just like buy
pumpkins from Kroger and put them in a parking lot.
But anyways, I just love that word. My main takeaway,
I don't really give a shit that they aren't fake
punkin patches, but I do give a shit about the
word peduncle, and I like it. It sounds like a
description of a big, old dumb guy with a big
(03:12):
butt or something.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Anyways, I am thrilled to be joined once again by
a hilarious stand up comedian, writer, actor, improviser, the co
host with the mo host. You can catch her on
stand up stages everywhere. Check her website at the monthly
Facial Recognition comedy show, which she also produces. It's pobay.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
They pay of Paradise and put up a pumpkin patch.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
They did, and they did, and that is America's biggest problem.
According to me, an undecided.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Voter, I'm a political. I'm a political about pumpkin patches.
I just don't like to think about it.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
It doesn't really affect me, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So how are you doing, Paula.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I'm good. I was recount the horrors of Terrifier three,
and now that you will in my eyes.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
So we did a story the last time you were
on that. Terrifier three is the number one movie in America.
It destroyed the other killer clown movie Joker foll Joker too,
and did yeah, Joker, that's right, and you went and
saw it and you said it was.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I don't I'm dedicate my next therapy session to just
talking about it because like I don't understand, like a
lot of people walked out and the ends, like the
entire time. Juckies was like, we can leave if you
need to leave, and I was like, I don't know.
It was it was definitely the most gory thing I've
(04:49):
ever seen, but beyond that, it was like fucked up
like but also like and terrifying. It was fucked up,
bro like super fucked up, but like all so like
terrifying but also like funny in parts, And I was like,
what is I it's you.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
I don't know. I can't tell anyone to go see it.
But also I will never forget it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
There's unforgettable. You do sound exactly like the person they
interview in a in a commercial for like a horror movie. Yeah,
I was shaken. I was I'll never forget it. They
just like hut out the parts where you're like why
are they doing this?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah, where you seem like existentially troubled.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
I have a lot to think about, honestly, you do.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I mean you also like mentioned that the killer clown
in Terrifier three, you were like, I was actually really
impressed with their clowning. Yeah, deep clowning.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Not like they definitely, I'd be very surprised if they
weren't like a fully trained clown.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, like they trained at that school in Paris, where.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Like like I'm not even kidding, Like, yeah, that's like
the best clown work I've seen in a movie in
like a long time.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, speaking of some of the best clown work, worse
rip to be joined by a very funny stand up
comedian and writer out of New York City who's written
for The Young Ing and Colbert. You can see a
stand up special on his YouTube channel, Django Industries. It's
Django God.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Hello, Hello, thank you for allowing me to bring my
clownings you guys. It's funny how clown is just like
probably I'm sure you can tell the La scene. It's
become such a huge like faction of like the comedy scene.
Now there's like, yeah, it's like a clown aissance is
happening right now.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I do want to.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I want to give credit to Chad Damiani because he
is like the link between clowning in LA and stand
up and so like there is more more mesh between
that those worlds.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Now, would you say, is a scene dominated by roving
gangs of like bully clowns pile out of the car
and like surround you town to where.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Kick your ass while juggling, I would honestly be more
terrified of roving gangs of male comedians.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So yeah, that's right, Jo, I didn't mean. I was
just saying clown in the way that a high school
bully would call someone a clown. When we're saying you
speaking of clowns, This next clown has written for a
cold bet.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Okay, so a more demeaning way.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I just want to make a clown professional and personal clown.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
That's right, clown.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It doesn't make the audience line.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
That is something I will say. I want to like
see more.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
This is so stupid, but I want to see more
clowning because because I do respect it as an art form.
I back to like all, like all types of performances,
I think it depends on the individual performance whether it
could be great or not. But I want to see
because I do know that sometimes clowning, like people often
fall into the thing of like getting naked or eating
(08:16):
crazy shit or doing like body stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
And I'm like yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I'm like, what, Like, I want to see more shades
of clouding before to educate.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
About those shades of clowning. So I clearly have a
lot to learn. I didn't know about the nudity or
the muck bang class. Jacks.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Jack's in now, he's all in.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, that's now. I'm back. All right, Jango, We're going
to get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a
few of the things we're talking about today. So this
election at this point, like nobody knows what's going to happen.
It's like watching a weather report for a day three
weeks in the future. We're just like, I don't know,
(08:59):
could be really bad or not. Seems to be Like
we talked on yesterday's trending about like this polling article
from the New York Times where they're just like, yeah,
it could like so it could be like a big
miss towards the Republicans, or the opposite could be true. Also,
and we're just and these were like they're experts. So anyways,
(09:21):
one thing we do know for sure is it's going
to be a complete shit show at the polls. Election.
Poll workers already being kind of targeted by Trump conspiracy theories,
and the same Trump conspiracy theories that are similar to
the conspiracy theories that have like militias pulling guns on
FEMA workers recently. So it's just like a gnarly situation
(09:45):
that poll workers are walking into. And we are going
to try to engage the help of unpaid teenagers. Apparently
that is a big part of the plan, is getting
high school students tovolunteer to do pole working because they
can't find enough people who are willing to do it
(10:05):
not for a college credit. So we'll talk about that.
We will talk about just Trump's recent run of appearances
where his brain appears to be melting like cotton candy
that someone just dumped a diet coke onto. We'll talk
about the headquarters of the place where he makes his
six figure watches. That there's a place a company that's
(10:29):
based in Wyoming. CNN went there and I just the
physical description of the place where these watches are made
is pretty incredible. So we'll talk about that, and of
course we will talk about tostitos and Dorito's and how
they're fighting shrinkflation, but not really all of that plenty more.
But first, Jango, we do like to ask our guests,
(10:51):
what is something from your search history that's revealing about
who you are?
Speaker 5 (10:56):
This is a good one that really kind of encompasses
a lot of my my anxieties. But the last thing
I searched for was can a radiator catch your mattress
on fire? Because obviously, you know, in New York it
started started to get cold finally, and the old creaky
radiator started up. And the first thing I thought I
(11:16):
was like, oh my god, I'm gonna die in the fire. Yeah,
this is gonna happen. So I looked up.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Also, it's very New York that your mattress is basically
on top of your radiator.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
That's the thing I could move it away with, I would
sacrifice like one third of my bedroom space. So I
had to carefully weigh that against whether I want to
be alive or not.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Yeah, I lived in a room so small in New
York that my mattress was not flat on the ground.
It was like I also just like had three pieces
of furniture and I probably could have only had two in.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
The room, you know, And so it need that big
that big wood.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I didn't need that globe. Yeah it was a globe
and the other one was just a giant steer wheel
from a ship.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, it's called interior design.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The heating situation in New York is so wild. It
really like is the most steampunk thing that just exists
in our Yeah, hot stuff goes through this pipe and
the pipe is like growling at you throughout the night.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
It's also wild how hot it gets like at the
first Like I feel like in my building that they're
kind of like testing out different temperatures. First day, ninety
eight degrees. Vietnam can't beat jungle just immediately, just ghost
Yeah awful. So they're fine tuning at the moment. But
(12:46):
as long as I'll die in my sleep, I'll be
a happy camper.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yeah, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Oh this is a new one for me. So my
whole life, I've been like a like an ice cream purist,
Like I'm like anti gelata, anti frozen yogurt. My my
thinking has always been you know, if you're gonna indulge,
indulge all the way full fat. Yeah. Yeah, recently I
had a nice little scoop of sorbet and brother sister,
I think I might be on I might be on
(13:14):
the Sorbet train.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I think it's sort of pussy. I know, I know,
I know, but you said obviously I can't.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
It's a very alpha male of you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I'm coming in here saying like sorbet clown.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
It's like it's almost it's like such like a fake
food because it's just like pure.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
And I taste like clouds.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
It tastes like clouds. It has no nutritional no fat
now at all. It's kind of like it's like you
know when the zoo keeper will put like a like
a on, like like a puppet of an animal, and
I put it in the cage with the put like
a ferret puppet. It's like that's like the version of
ice cream I'm eating with sorbet. But I do find
it quite quite light and refreshing. So that's my underrade
(13:58):
pick of the week.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, it's it's good. It does make up for any
loss of fat with just being the sweetest. Yeah, like
the most sugar that you can possibly concentrate into a
tiny little spoon. Yea, And I appreciate it for that.
That is one of the things I've learned to love
about sorbet is it's it's sweeter than ice cream in
(14:22):
some cases.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
In any cases, well, it's fruit fruit juice, which is
already really sweet, add sugar to it.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
What if this was like way sweeter though, Like so
it was like not even a liquid anymore, but like
more gelatinous. Yeah yeah, but so wait, gelato is that
a healthier alternative to ice cream? I always thought it
was just softer.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
It's just your European and you know, as a as
a red bladed American male, I naturally assume assume that
it's less full, less less fatty.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Right, it might not be true.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Silato has four to the usual ten to twenty percent
of ice cream, so it is lighter and healthier.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
So there's like an inject air into it to make
it puffier. I guess, Okay, not for me.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Nice try nice, Try Italy, but.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Watch again, no poc slander against the Italians, okay, my brother?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Where Italians are considered poc.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Me and ariana grandi.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Brandy when when it was our grandfather. It was the grandies,
but now it's GRANDI. What is What's something you think
is overrated?
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Man, I've tried for years to get on board with this,
but I think I'm done with buying, nurturing and watching
house plants die. I think I'm just done with plants
because they just always fucking They just immediately start getting
sicker and sicker. As soon as I take them home.
They attract they attract bugs. When out of town, I
(16:06):
have to have a friend over. It's just too much
work and I suck at raising them. So I think
might I might be out on the pandemic plant.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Okay, that's I'm hearing. I'm hearing what you're saying, and
I'm hearing you go, come on.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Get out of here.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I want anyway that you die.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
It's an situation. But I mean, I don't know how
much more love and attention can I give these things
and they just wilt. They immediately will. It's suppressing.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I mean, even in the canopy jungle of your room.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I know if they can't survive here, they can't they
can't make it anywhere.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I also feel that it might be the widely, vastly
fluctuating temperatures probably killing them and also partially you at
the same time.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's like your room is like the surface of mercury.
It's like it's freezing. It's zero celsius.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I'm certainly not sclaiming the plan. I'm certainly not absolving myself.
I've not been a good father figure to these guys. Yeah, almighty.
Some of us just aren't cut out for it.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Maybe you need to be like a step dad to
a plant first, and then that'll ease you back it.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
You can adopt a plant.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
If I could got another household to raise the plant
to maturity, then I could come in and take it
to go to see baseball games. That would be ideal.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah. Yeah, just fostering a plant situation. Maybe you could
be the friend who's watering other people's plants when they're
out of town.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Oh yeah, I can dig that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
You're not the step plant dad, you're the plant dad
that's stepped down.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's right, right, Yeah. Yeah, plants are temperamental. I've had
varying levels of success, like California. Southern California is Like
I went from Missouri to New York to southern California,
and I tried Missouri, and I tried to have a
garden in Missouri and I was very unsuccessful. New York
(17:57):
didn't even bother like other than like a couple of
orchids that lasted a week or so, and then oh orchids.
I I I am known in the orchid community. It's
like an I am legend situation in the orchid community.
Spoiler alert for the end of that movie. But yeah,
they they know about me and run when I enter
(18:20):
a room. And then Southern You come to southern California
and you just like drop an apple by accident and
like a tree is growing there the next day. It's
just like the most just a verdant place in the
world fertile, verdant, other vocabulary words calif Right, Yeah, so
(18:44):
I recommend moving to southern California. That might be the
easiest problems.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Move across the country.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There, you go, that's true. It does they do love
a sorbet out here because everybody's vegan.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
H yeah, I'm gonna say that.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Actually, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
It's a nice vegan option for me.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
When people want to go get ice cream and I'm like,
but I want to be included. We're like at a
at a restaurant they have sorbet often.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, its are.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
What are you having pre dinner?
Speaker 5 (19:21):
The three globes of ice? Please, I don't want to
I don't want to be Let's give me three globes.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
All right, Let's take a quick break and we'll come
back and we'll talk about the news. And we're back, like,
how's everybody doing with the election? Like I'm I'm the
(19:51):
fear is on me, I said, for like a couple
of weeks now the fear is on me. I'm just
like having flashbacks to twenty sixteen, reading a bunch of
shit about like how the polling can go as in
the past, like vastly underestimated Trump. I'm like oscillating between
that and then being like, if Trump loses, maybe this
(20:11):
is it because his brain so bad, Maybe the whole
like open fascism thing will will be gone. But how
are you guys feeling? Is everybody hanging in there?
Speaker 5 (20:22):
Feels like we really we like Blake and I we
went from like six months out to three weeks out
and seemed like it was it just came down the
pike real quick, and I was like, oh, the rubbers
being the road here, and yeah, I think I think
what you're what you're talking about is like kind of
my anxiety where it's like the more you read, the
less calm you feel, because you just keep on getting
(20:44):
all these like contradictory you know, op eds you see
and like they'll can you know, I'm very malleable in
my opinions. So like any articles like yo, like oh,
Harris is a lot for Michigan, Like great, it's in
the bag. We're done. And then like it's like, oh,
these poles are all nonsense.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, Michigan's over. Yeah, Michigan kiss, Michigan could buy assholes.
It's Trump Country.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
The best thing I've been doing for myself is just
trying to remind myself.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
That nobody knows anything.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Nobody knows anything.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, And by saying your opinions are very malleable, that's
because you're still an undecided Like yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Well I'm still pretty much in the bag for Cornell
West h.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah that where did that? What happened?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
God damn, he's still going straw man. He can he
got a victory, and uh, what's the state you can win? Alaska?
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Oh well that's unfortunately. So I think one of the
big things that we know is going to be an issue,
is the like what is going to happen at the
polls on election day. This was a big concern heading
into the twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Election, handing out comedy flyers at the election day, I will.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Be barking, bring your friends, I'll bring a.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
QR code for my Instagram. They're going to be in line.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Have assault rifle as well as that.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah show, that's yeah. I mean that you'll fit in
better if you have an assault rifle. I remember having
these concerns heading into the twenty twenty election, and that
was before they staged an insurrection to try and overturn
the results of that election. So and by the way,
Trump has recently gone on record referring to the people
(22:28):
who were aded on January sixth, says, we like we
and we were very peaceful. So that's unnerving. And I
think it's just one of the big questions concerns surrounding
this election, like, first of all, how safe will it
be for them? Second of all, will there actually be
any read that first question about how safe it's going
(22:50):
to be? Will anybody actually want to do this job?
Because there is a massive shortage in poll workers owing
to a mass exodus in twenty twenty caused by the
pandemic first of all, and then countless Trump inspired threats
and intimidation campaigns like that. It was ugly in twenty twenty.
(23:13):
Like there, I still remember like some of those scenes
in like Detroit where there was just like massive crowds
of Trump supporters like chanting stop the count outside of God. Yeah, yeah,
they're talking about that. They're talking about the count from
Sesame Street.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
He's an immigrant, Get him out of here.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
What's he doing in this election.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I'm going to take your jobs.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I want to stop the count.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
The shortage is pretty understandable since more than half of
election officials have reported being concerned about the safety of
their colleagues or staff already this year. Because yeah, there
it's just there's constant like threats. There's a lot of
like right wing training happening. So yeah, it's it's not
(24:04):
just that like concerns that voting sites will be understaffed.
There's also like right wing conspiracy theorists. Theorists are actively
trying to use the shortage to install their own pole watchers,
as you know, workers in swing.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
States who will watch the watchers.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Right yeah, so they will watch the watchers.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
They're going to watch.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
I gotta say, all these factoids you're dropping here are
not making me feel any better.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
But I know it's not well, yeah's feeling good.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Well, let me just wreck that for you, right.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
He just check insurrection. My local high school gymnasium is
not mind at ease.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, And I feel like that's I don't know, it
feels like a tangible thing at least, but it's like
a very scary one.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
They keep in these like places where they're recruiting and
training right wing pole watchers. They're talking about acting as
a spy or a trojan horse. That's literally how like
a Christian right influencer described his plan. So yeah, yeah,
this is specifically what happened. There was there was a
(25:21):
usc like there. Their football team is called the Trojans.
There's like all their sports teams are called the Trojans.
And they had like a warm up video this year
where they were like pretending to be in the trophan
like they showed a Trojan horse and then like showed
themselves and it's like, wait, no, you guys are the Trojans,
Like you're the Trojan horse. Foled you it was against
(25:44):
to the Trojans.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Well, these football players aren't much on book learning.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
They're not they're not history majors. But anyways, that's what
the Christian rights planning to do. There are safeguards that
would prevent these workers from interfering in the electoral process,
but their presence will probably lead to, at the very least,
a lot of misinformation, which you know, is what we're
seeing happen, a lot of like just with her things
(26:12):
that straightforward as hurricane relief, you know, just sure Trump
and Jade vance hurricane as information.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
What does training entail? Like, like what does it mean?
Are they are they getting trained in martial arts?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Like what they do? You've seen those videos of.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
It's going to like train them.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, it's a desert they're doing the the monkey bars
and then firing.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
Yeah, all these elderly are kicking, kicking some serious ass
come to.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I'm guessing it has very little like physical training and
more just like here's where to apply and here's how
to make your presence felt even though you're not supposed to,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Here's how to use a voting machine that's made in
nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Right, So people the states have been desperate to hire
new poll workers because of this, and they're so desperate,
in fact, that in Kentucky they've been putting QR codes
on beer cans and wine bottles, allowing people to easily
sign up to be poll workers and then presumably it's
too late to back out of it once.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
That really is something you wake up like, oh my god,
I'm doing I'm doing what this week?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Why do I ever agree to make plans?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
That is crazy that they're trying to get drunk people
to sign up because they're like, only drunk people would
be would be willing to put their bodies that were Yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Know who loves waking up early on a weekday alcoholics
top of the crack of dawn. They'll be out there.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, I'm sure we'll have the best that just election
day won't happen because no, he shows up. Nebraska is
allowing counties to draft workers to fill election vacancies, sort
of how we do jury duty? Yeah, paid though, right,
yes they do. How well they get paid is another question.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
That seems to be the solution right there, Just give
them more money.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Okay, but we don't want to do that go wait
a second, Okay, no, And also we're going to take
away whatever healthcare you have about.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So they're apparently turning to child labor in this worker shortage.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Children yearn for the polls.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
They do, so all the young Ruffians with their tiktoks
and Sony Discman's Is that right?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
I walk into the tar pits right now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
You know, the ones that the very people who are
fueling the rise of Trump, like the Boomer et cetera,
like already hate so much, just NonStop, like it's their
favorite thing is to complain about them. That those people
are going to be like a sea of those of
(29:14):
these children are going to be awaiting the boomers at
the polls according to this plan, which I feel like
would would be the equivalent of like a bunch of
people with ars, Like they would be there to make
the Boomers feel safe, but then the children would just
they wouldn't know what to do. They'd be pretty furious.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
It's a bad situation where you have like some stone
seventeen year old like like counting ballots or being entrusted
in carrying a box of ballots to someone's car.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You know, Yeah, did you ever like have to do
like high school like fundraising work for I think I
did it for my basketball team where we like worked
at parking lots of like a fish show or like.
It was just like they were just hav high school
students and be like, yeah, you're doing child labor, but
(30:04):
you're doing it for this program that needs money to
like pay for gas to go to like the next
away game.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
So you just went up to people with like nitrous
balloons there.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Exactly, like worked a bingo hall where you couldn't like
see three feet in front of your face from the
cigarette smoke. Just like you know, just stuff like jobs
that could have been staffed by people and paid for.
They were just like, no, we'll just throw these children
(30:37):
at it. And it feels like that is the level,
like the lowest level of employment that you could possibly have,
is like we'll just make high school kids do it
because they will think it's like good for their resume.
That's like how it's being pitched to them.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
Yeah, I worked on the last day of American democracy.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah exactly, but it's actually had like all over the country,
officials are actively recruiting high school students to become poll workers,
and while miners aren't allowed to become poll workers in
every in every state a loophole allows for it, as
long as they're pre registered to vote.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
There's gonna be a whole group of like weird in
cell dudes who haven't memorized like the ages that they're
allowed to be poll workers state by state.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
In some cases they're paid just like regular poll workers,
which I don't think as much because in other cases
they're simply asked to work for free pizza because the
gig is such a quote resume booster. So surely the
solution to this national emergency is not to treat election
(31:52):
workers even worse. But that does seem to be the
direction that we're going with it.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I think it actually might be a good thing, because
imagine you go with your like ar whatever to the polls.
You're this angry Republican and then a fucking teenager just
roast the shit out of your shoes, Like what are
you gonna do? You know what I mean, You're armed,
but disarmed, you know, Like, there's nothing crueler than a
teenager who has something to prove.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Yeah, I think a person with a gun, big.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, it's kind of hard to make fun of the
shoes of people who are carrying ars.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
But ye, nice gun loser.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
What are you gonna shoot me, you bitch?
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Yeah much getting shot shot out in exchange for two
slices of Domino's pizza.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Right, But it's I mean, it seems like a bad
idea in terms of just like accomplishing the thing you're
looking for. It also seems cruel when you keep in
mind that, like, the reason there's a shortage of poll
workers the first place is due to widespread harassment, and
we're like just throw miners in that some miners of
(33:03):
the problem, and the fact that they're actually like that,
they're even selling it as this is valuable life experience
if you engage with like a disaffected voter who's mad
at you like this is a quote for Caswell students,
Dealing with the occasional frustrated voter can be a valuable
(33:23):
job skill experience. She said. One of the people was
speaking in favor of this plan. It's not the same
talking about it in a classroom as it is with
a stranger who's coming in yelling at them. She said,
they have to learn this is a real this is
real life. This happens if I work at McDonald's somebody
might get mad, whether they're right or wrong. It's a
(33:46):
valuable on the job.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Training to learn about suffering and danger because it later
I will also experience suffering and danger.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
Right, those scam life experiences, right, very bad thing that
happens to you. That's a viable life experience.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
It's pretty exposure.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Exposure and life experience
are on the same boat here. Yeah, I exposed to
a mad man with a gun.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
I one hundred percent would have done this to be
in like the Honor Society or something like. I would
have been one of the kids they duped. I would
have been like, yeah, I'll go, I don't care. I'll
it's good to add to my resume.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, it's good to add to my resume. Just covers
so much bullshit. It's I know, they can get you
to do anything, and nobody knows. There's like no way
to fact check that. Yeah, so I mean jango. As
you said earlier, the easiest thing to do would be
to pay poll workers like the essential workers they are.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Yeah, you'll you'll have to pay them once a year. Two.
For the record, this is a yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Some poll workers make less than ten dollars an hour,
which seems like it's too low. I'm not illegal, but
maybe not in right, but yeah, we convert that to pizza.
And so now we're doing conversions of dollars into pizzas,
which is good math experience.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You know, if you spend a fraction of your life
working at the polls.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, how much? Well you have left a number of
states have enacted new election worker protections, but the federal
response has just been, I don't know, not great. They
put together a special Federal Election Threats task Force, which
has resulted in seventeen total charges. There's been over two
thousand reports of threats and harassment to election workers and
(35:38):
since the task force was created in twenty twenty one,
but only one hundred of those were even investigated because
like a lot of you know, government enforcement agencies, they
are drastically understaffed and underfunded. And then they're like, well,
the government sucks at their job. And I was like, well,
you put like three people on a thing that requires
(36:01):
a full company is worth of people.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
It sounds like they need to hire some teenagers for
the investigation.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I know, exactly, get some tea teenage PI kid detected.
I mean if movies have taught me anything.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Encyclopedia Brown would get to the bottom.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Thank you exactly. All right anyways, so don't be worried
about the intangible things that you can't control. Be worried
about all the tangible things that you can't really can't
control unless you want to volunteer to be a poll worker,
you know.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Yeah, ask your ask your children if they.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Want to do you know where your kids are getting
the ship getting out of them at the pole?
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (36:39):
God, what a time man when they used to just
have an ad at night at like ten o'clock being like, hey,
you you have kids, do you remember that?
Speaker 5 (36:50):
Dude?
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Wait, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back. And we're back, and we got a
(37:14):
daily Zeitgeist update update on a previous story where we
talked about how Donald Trump was selling a watch that
looked like shit, Yeah, I mean it looked like a
gold watch, like a kind of fancy gold watch, but
it had his signature somewhere on the face. I think
(37:34):
he's selling it for one hundred thousand dollars and it
was made like so people were like, where did he
suddenly get this watchmaking ability from? And they traced it
to a company based in Wyoming, and like when you
Google maps it it just looks like kind of a
(37:54):
building in the middle of nowhere. CNN actually decided to
go to this place that's clearly just a bogus address
used by shell companies, and they were shocked to find
there was no Swiss watch company. Yeah, and instead what
they found was all the.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
Kids making the watches.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
The loop right there.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
That's right. Children. Child labor is the future of this country.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
The tight little figures are good for those gears.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You know, I really like, yeah they can. I mean
they love building with legos. This is just like one
step over. You do have to they get a little
they get a little careless, and so you do have to,
you know, use some motivation tactics that people don't want
to know.
Speaker 4 (38:44):
You have to waterboard the kids.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
One, yes, you do with a little juice box. So
it makes it to the fact that it's a daycare
is so bleak. It's a it's a daycare that shares
a parking lot with an H and R block, a
Wendy's and a vape and hempsmolk shop. So what a
strip mall get your childcare kill yourself in two easy ways.
(39:08):
Just need a liquor store to kind of create the
full trifecta.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
I feel like there might be there might be a
small watch factory in this building.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Maybe it's like Cinderella, where like the animals are doing.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Yeah, see, we got to use our imagination here. It's
not as bleak as we thought.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah, it's cute. It's probably cute in some way. I'm
sure it's cute. In addition to the quote the Best
Watches on Earth LLC.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
I like that it's one word. Yes, that's a word,
The Best Watches on Earth LLC.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
The address was also being used by the company selling
Trump sneakers and a company selling the Best Honey on Earth,
all one word, the best on Earth, which sells male
enhancement honey. What.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
I don't think men need to be enhanced right now.
I think they need to be.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
De hand Okay.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Yeah, let's just back it up, you guys are it's
too much, too much honey.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
Male enhancement honey isn't very fun. That sounds like like
a term for a sex worker or something.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Also, if it worked, wouldn't the workers like rise up
against the queen bee? You know what?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I mean the male bees working.
Speaker 5 (40:29):
For the bees v ryle worker bees on the market.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I think it's literally for boomers who are like I
don't like pills, They're like.
Speaker 5 (40:39):
Easier to take a little thing of honey.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Yeah, un sweetheart, I gotta dollop the honey into my mouth.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
It's just a normal thing of honey with like viagra
sprinkled throughout, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (40:54):
Yeah, that sounds great. I think I need to get
on the get on the horn in.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
My account, does seem like a great business proposition. But
I mean, given the address and the similar name, we
don't have proof yet, but it does seem to suggest
that presidential candidate Donald Trump is selling honey that gives
people boners. Which this is the October surprise we've been
(41:20):
waiting for.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
There it is that is this good for Trump or
bad for Trump?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (41:27):
Yeah, people are at this point. I'm so confused, Like.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
I can cure boners?
Speaker 5 (41:31):
Yea man, four more years of this, huh could be
good stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
They share the same organizer who just so happens to
spend all his time in Puerto Rico and therefore can't
comment on any of this. Cannot be reached for comment. Unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
But the guy who heads the company, Yeah, our fearless leader.
Speaker 5 (41:53):
The CEO of a Trump Trump boner honey.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Yeah. I mean the fact that it's called the best
watches on Earth all one word LLC does suggest that
it is just Donald Trump in a wig, which we've
definitely seen in the past.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
His pseudonym was like Baron something right, John Baron.
Speaker 5 (42:12):
Or yeah, yeah Trump roly is a master of disguise.
I like my lawyer to represent me to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Fake mustache turns around backwards, comes back. Man's doing what
he thinks is a British accent.
Speaker 5 (42:32):
Oh, I'm seeing that down here. You guys are right.
The honey does just contain portions of viagrant. It's literally
a homemade fucking moonshine honey with you grind it in
a mortar and pestle viagrant sprinkle into into the honey.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
It's like Mom, yeah, yeah, just like Mom used to make. Yeah.
The FDA has warned people not to consume.
Speaker 5 (42:58):
I know, it seems it seems a good idea to
eat that sold out a watch factory, just.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
As medicine ground up in it.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Is like, oh, we're not going to approve your device
or like this thing, but they're like.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Please, I don't want to listen, Please.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
Don't eat the bone or honey, we can't in good
conscience like nottic that's right, nice, try the FDA.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
Yeah, you guys just love women.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
And finally Tostitos and Doritos have stepped up to the plate.
We may not be able to count on the political
process to save us, but we can count on our
corporations owned by PepsiCo. So there. There was a period
early in the election when Joe Biden remember him, you
(43:54):
running for president? And Cookie Monster.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
Remember that as Okay.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
They teamed up to take on shrink flation, and Biden
specifically singled out potato chip companies. Man, yeah, potato chip
companies selling less chips than the same same size. Bangs.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
Man, it's like, you know, damn.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
By Joe then wandered off curtain somewhere.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Maybe he has just been high.
Speaker 5 (44:22):
What is like He's had like a sixty year polo
career and the capstone on all is like chips are
too small bye.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
And I'll be seeing myself out.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
But yet the most relatable aspect of his career, I.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
Mean, honestly, this is something that pisses me off, So
I'm pretty.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
Happy to every I'm glad he's moving away from like
working with segregationists.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah right, his big stands before. Why can't we all
just get along? Man strom? Thurmon was cool, dude, man rock. Anyways,
there are reports that Pepsi Cooat is adding more chips
into chip bags, including Tostitos, Doritos, and lays, in order
(45:09):
to quote fight trink inflation.
Speaker 5 (45:13):
Yes, the hero of the common man.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yes exactly. Pepsi co always in touch, They're in touch
with my needs.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, hey, can you guys stop charging us for water?
Shut up and take the chips?
Speaker 5 (45:27):
Well, baby steps, that's what they do. They give us
more chips, and they keep charging more for the refreshing beverages.
We need to wash them down.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
With yeah, exactly. And they also have to be able
to fund those commercials that are responsible for slowly but
surely saving our hearts and minds, like the Kylie General one.
Speaker 5 (45:51):
You know, Oh I forget about that.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
That great. They've done their part. They've done their part.
Speaker 4 (45:57):
Kendall Jenner Jack, my god, what how dare?
Speaker 2 (46:02):
What has happened to me? I used to know what
was going on in this world? But so it turns
out they are putting more chips into bags, they are
selling them at the same price. They are also branding
them as bonus bags with twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (46:19):
More chip boner bags, and we're gonna mix viagra.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
There will they will be Viagra dusted. So they're advertising
that they're adding back the chips they took away, but
just calling them bonus chips, which is like stealing someone's
wallet and then selling them back their ID and credit cards.
Is like bonus bonus wallet, bonus features, bonus collectibles.
Speaker 5 (46:41):
This might be coming out of left field, but I
think I would prefer instead of more chips, just one big.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Chip, I think is okay, No.
Speaker 5 (46:51):
No one big the family can do the fucking cartoon
corn thing on the size of it.
Speaker 4 (46:57):
This is unpleasant.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
I don't way towards the middle. Everybody gets an.
Speaker 5 (47:02):
People said the same thing about the automobile.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Now, yeah running out of earth.
Speaker 5 (47:08):
Well yeah, I look on the bright side of life,
big chip.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
Yeah, cars are sick, and so are big, big old
giant chips.
Speaker 5 (47:17):
Thick chips too, half an inch with them?
Speaker 4 (47:20):
How a big big chip? Like how thick? And do
you want this chip to be?
Speaker 5 (47:24):
That's thick as the side of my hand. Okay, okay,
the big as a medium sized kite.
Speaker 4 (47:32):
You want it kite shaped?
Speaker 5 (47:33):
Yeah, now, I want it to be a diamond shaped.
I'm innovating so fast over here that it's changing the
parameters on the fly.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Learn a lesson from the pumpkin peduncle. Just go thick
and big and it'll be. It'll stay intact. People will
love it, people will come right they Yeah, they're actually
kind of doing that at Taco Bell. They just added
even biger giant cheese its to like one of their products, sore.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
Just they preach about the cheese it.
Speaker 5 (48:09):
Yeah, brother, They're adding other drunk food into their food.
They're literally like doing what a high person would do
it at home. They're taking out the middle man, like, yeah,
trying to do gummy bears taco I'm.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
Sorry, I don't think you understand. The demographic that Taco
Bell is targeting to is the high person at all.
Speaker 5 (48:30):
I know.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
I guess so that is one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
I used to do this show where you would like
do a sober set and then you would get high
and do a high set, and like every time I
left afterwards, the Taco Bell next to it was.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
There was just a huge line of cars.
Speaker 5 (48:47):
It was wild cleaning out like a cartoon.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah yeah, no Taco Bell. The big cheese It Crount
Trap Supreme is back, and I think I think they've
made the cheese it bigger and they might have added
a second one.
Speaker 5 (49:03):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
They were like, not enough cheese it in this thing
that is basically wrapped around a giant cheese it.
Speaker 3 (49:09):
Every time I hear about it, talk about item, it's
always it's back.
Speaker 4 (49:13):
I'm like, when did they have this?
Speaker 2 (49:16):
That's right, bitches, it'squre.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Whether there's like pending FDA legislation they had to withdraw
their latest monstrosity.
Speaker 2 (49:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:25):
Yeah, the FDA is like, we please don't. We don't
advise you to eat this.
Speaker 5 (49:30):
Please stop wrapping this in.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Uh. The front Trap Supreme that is basically just wrapped
around a giant wax cornicopia is back.
Speaker 5 (49:39):
Holy shit, this is I'm reading the distriction of it
right now. An a la carte big cheese a cracker
sixteen times larger than the Star cheese Cracker. They got
my letter.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
Yeah, they've they've incepted. They went into your dreams.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
This is so so crazy.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
If inception exists in real life. I would hope that's
what they're using it for. Is just like, Yeah, that's
amzing through our dreams and like stealing all our best
ideas for fast food concoctions.
Speaker 5 (50:08):
A man, you can buy spiders of course.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
That's that's what they launched with the giant Jesus thing.
Speaker 4 (50:17):
That one didn't put the teeth that fell out of
their mouth into.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
That's where they came up with Baja blast is. They
were like, what a drink that makes all your teeth
fall out of your mouth the moment after you drink
it from just like sheer sugar consumption. Anyways, there, it
has been reported that PepsiCo is actually not doing this
to fight shrinkflation. They're doing it because they want to
(50:45):
sell more bags of chips now that it's football season.
That's there. We can we believe in anything anymore.
Speaker 4 (50:53):
People, Wow, I can't believe that that's a.
