Speaker 1: with this. All I have to tell you is you
Speaker 1: don't want to catch these fucking hands because welcome to
Speaker 1: the microphone, Andrew T all right, this one's aspicious. Yes,

Speaker 1: That was beautiful. Yeah, bring it down because everything we needed. Wow, welcome, Welcome,
Speaker 1: How are Andrew? I mean it took me too long
Speaker 1: to write that. What's new? Do you have you thought
Speaker 1: any more about twenty three and tea or chat GPT
Speaker 1: you know what I have? I really I this uh
Speaker 1: this comedian Joe Wong who used to be a real
Speaker 1: ass scientist, texted me the other day and I hadn't
Speaker 1: talked to him in a while, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna do this. Wait, so you you
Speaker 1: you posited this to Joe And he was no, not yeah,
Speaker 1: he was just like yo, yo, it's been a while.
Speaker 1: Like and then he just brought up bio chemistry and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's right. That was like your
Speaker 1: actual factual job, right right right? Got to get a
Speaker 1: stand up. Wow, So I think, okay, I'm gonna pitch him.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm gonna give you my DNA. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you you should. You should trust me more than the
Speaker 1: savvy business people at twenty three and me. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Here's why it's safe giving me your data.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know what to do with at it right, Like,
Speaker 1: I am simply too stupid to exploit you. And that
Speaker 1: is why you can trust me. That's where I push back,
Speaker 1: because you are not stupid. And now you sound like
Speaker 1: AI who's like working it out. It's like I will
Speaker 1: present myself as bumbling in order to gain their trust.
Speaker 1: No chat, nice fucking try. I'm taking my I'm taking
Speaker 1: my DNA where it can be trusted Amazon. So let's
Speaker 1: tell people what we're going to talk about today, and
Speaker 1: then we'll talk a little bit about Andrews, you know,
Speaker 1: newfound career path. We are going to talk about the
Speaker 1: line that has formed outside the Manhattan Courthouse the night
Speaker 1: before Trump went in, because apparently ticks to get in
Speaker 1: were the hottest item since Beyonce announced that tour. Also
Speaker 1: talk about Jill Biden doing the most both sides shit
Speaker 1: I've ever fucking heard of and has completely invited the
Speaker 1: ire of every sports fan and person of color on
Speaker 1: the planet. Maybe we'll talk about sixty minutes continuing to
Speaker 1: show us that legacy media is just unable to fucking
Speaker 1: do anything in this really terrible time of ours, And
Speaker 1: if we have a moment, we'll talk about James Patterson
Speaker 1: and his gripes with the NYT bestseller list and plentymore.
Speaker 1: But first, Andrew T Yo, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that is revealing about who you are? This
Speaker 1: is far too illuminating about who I am. But yesterday
Speaker 1: I spent I will just admit far too long trying
Speaker 1: to figure out if there was still some way to
Speaker 1: distinguish Twitter Blue from Twitter Verified. Yeah, there's a plug in,
Speaker 1: isn't there? There's a plug in, But there is also
Speaker 1: a I tweeted this. There is. You can search dash filter,
Speaker 1: Colon verified, space filter, colon blue, underscore verified, and if
Speaker 1: you search that, it just as a list of everyone
Speaker 1: who paid for Twitter Blue. There's something where we'll put
Speaker 1: an emoji next to it if they knew you were
Speaker 1: paying for it, to make it visually as easy as
Speaker 1: possible to see. But that's like a plug into a browser,
Speaker 1: and who's using Twitter on a browser? That would be crazy?
Speaker 1: So no, who who would do something like that? That's
Speaker 1: some that's some foul thirty eight year old ship to do. Well. Look,
Speaker 1: I never use Twitter on my phone. I only use
Speaker 1: it really, I mean, you guys have a much healthier
Speaker 1: relationship with reality in that case. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I think so. The thing with that though,
Speaker 1: is I, as some people might know if they follow
Speaker 1: me on Twitter, I'm a world champion amateur blocker. I'm
Speaker 1: like Olympic level but not pro level in terms of
Speaker 1: blocking people on Twitter. As currently I've blocked by hand
Speaker 1: forty nine. That so impressive. Forty nine What the fuck?
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen that many joints. It's basically
Speaker 1: a little just like nervous. It's like my fidget spinner
Speaker 1: or little habit. So what happens, Like, how do you
Speaker 1: get to blocking? Like you post something and trolls come
Speaker 1: out and you go blah blah blah blah blah blah
Speaker 1: black or you just look, you're random people like I
Speaker 1: don't even funk with this person. Block. That was the
Speaker 1: initial one. Now my my list of criteria for block
Speaker 1: First of all, if anyone like talks insane obviously, any
Speaker 1: kind of bigot just gone. Anyone who comes in my
Speaker 1: friends mentions gone, oh wow. Possibly a little more controversially,
Speaker 1: anyone who ever advertises on Twitter. And this was pretty
Speaker 1: one gone, and that that get me into trouble a
Speaker 1: couple of times when I started to have friends who
Speaker 1: like had TV shows and stuff. Sure, sure, so I
Speaker 1: had to modulate it to blocking the entity that paid
Speaker 1: for the right, right right, rather like your home show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to get some amy consideration exactly
Speaker 1: because it's hard. But and then obviously the newest criterion
Speaker 1: is anyone that paid for Twitter blue against the block. Yeah,
Speaker 1: step in my face with that swatted out, hit the
Speaker 1: fuck out. So yeah, just over the years, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is over the entire time, I've basically had these
Speaker 1: rules at least, you know, whatever version, would you come
Speaker 1: on the scene. I came on in like two thousand
Speaker 1: and nine, Yeah, I mean yeah, I actually had to
Speaker 1: be before that kind you've been on the block. It's
Speaker 1: got to be probably two thousand seven or eight. Oh
Speaker 1: when when did Twitter start? Because when I lived in
Speaker 1: New York a Comedy Central, I removed in LA in
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. So prior to that, whatever though
Speaker 1: I did, I used to do the ship where you
Speaker 1: would text your tweets. Yeah, I remember that, what you
Speaker 1: literally text some number. I remember. That's why the first
Speaker 1: I was like, why the funk would I do that?
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until the Great food Truck Boom of
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine when I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: fuck it, I need to eat, so let me figure
Speaker 1: out where the Kolgi truck is at, which is really
Speaker 1: the original my first use of Twitter, and it's all
Speaker 1: gone downhill ever since they made the whole movie Chef
Speaker 1: around that. I know, right, what's something that you think
Speaker 1: is overrated? Overrated? Um, I'm gonna go with Golden Retrievers.
Speaker 1: I was just I was just in idle Wild. Huh.
Speaker 1: Idle Wild is a place that, um, I guess because
Speaker 1: it's like an unincorporated like city or whatever. Anyway, their
Speaker 1: mayor is a Golden retreat. It's one of these really
Speaker 1: up up of the mountains. Yeah, mountain town. I heard
Speaker 1: about this a long time again. Yeah, Mayor Max, who
Speaker 1: is extremely cute, don't get me wrong, had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with his cuteness he's yeah, yeah, I mean he's
Speaker 1: a corrupt politician, and of course, yeah exactly cast yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: even more than any It's not so much that they're
Speaker 1: they're corrupt, it's that the price is so low for
Speaker 1: like for some milk bones, you can fuck you exactly.
Speaker 1: Police presence on your street it's a nightmare. Um no,
Speaker 1: it's just that. Like so, but Ittlewild is like one
Speaker 1: of those like mountain towns. There's like, you know, cabins
Speaker 1: and fucking you know whatever, like like wine stores and
Speaker 1: maybe not I don't know, I don't ski, but probably
Speaker 1: not skiing, actually, I don't think. It's just one of
Speaker 1: those like you can go fucking hang out. The local
Speaker 1: economy seems to mostly be based on people doing mushrooms,
Speaker 1: because like every other shot has like mushrooms on the
Speaker 1: t shirts that they sell, like the doorway it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like ask me about my friend is still like a
Speaker 1: lot of mushrooms. So it was really fun. But but
Speaker 1: one of the things they have is that I like,
Speaker 1: I guess two pm presumably every day, maybe just every
Speaker 1: weekend day. I don't really know. Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Probably during the week he's hard at work, you know,
Speaker 1: growing out legislation for the good people of idle Wild,
Speaker 1: you can go meet you can wait in line and
Speaker 1: meet mayor Max. However, idle Wild is one of those
Speaker 1: towns because it's again like kind of a hippie dish
Speaker 1: mountain town. There are dogs fucking everywhere and who you know,
Speaker 1: just like people, people, just everyone has their like cute
Speaker 1: ass dogs. It's wonderful, right, And like the idea like
Speaker 1: people waiting in line to see Golden Retrievers when there
Speaker 1: are literally like dozens of cute dogs everywhere you look,
Speaker 1: is some shit that is like fucking ridiculous. Wait, so
Speaker 1: are the dogs just roaming free, like you know, like
Speaker 1: you're in like Kingston or something like what are we
Speaker 1: talking about? People have dogs out? Yeah. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: it's it's a cute literally, so I took it literally
Speaker 1: like wait, there's just dogs fucking everywhere. No no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: no sorry, But but what what I mean is there's
Speaker 1: just like rightley to see flavor of cute dog of
Speaker 1: any size is everywhere. And so the idea that like
Speaker 1: a Golden Retriever, let's be let's be honest, they kind
Speaker 1: of like you know, the six white Doe. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like the boringest, whackest dog, no offense to Mayormax. Who wow.
Speaker 1: You know, I like, yeah, the deference you've paid to
Speaker 1: the office of mayor. But yes, yeah, exactly. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm just saying. My chihuahua is just gonna beat
Speaker 1: the beat the brakes off Mayormat from November. And this
Speaker 1: is this is my opportunity to god, can we run
Speaker 1: your Oh my god, this is another Can we run
Speaker 1: an insurgent campaign to get your dog to be the
Speaker 1: mayor Vidal? You know what? I think the key is
Speaker 1: to get my dog to be the da of ittlewhile
Speaker 1: the takedown Marimax from Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow, power
Speaker 1: building power I have. I look all the time at
Speaker 1: my old tool set of lobbyist, muckraking and fuckery tools
Speaker 1: and how they're going dull. So I'm like, please give
Speaker 1: me something. I can bring this motherfucker Max down with
Speaker 1: one print ad, one robo call and if we have budget,
Speaker 1: a thirty second video spot so we could. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: this day of of you know, digital marketing, I just
Speaker 1: think there's so many, so many viral options. I think
Speaker 1: a ground swell. Yeah, we exploit AI where they're like Wow,
Speaker 1: Mayor Max is dressed as a fucking Nazi okay in
Speaker 1: his off time, and he's anti mushroom. Okay. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of German shepherds and Mayor Max's history. What's up
Speaker 1: with that? What's what's up? I'm just saying it's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting choice. I wouldn't have made that choice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: personally if these dogs could talk, so yeah, fuck not
Speaker 1: fuck all the Retrievers, but over rate I think we
Speaker 1: can agree overrate. Yeah, the Golden Retriever was like a
Speaker 1: dog of the eighties and nineties. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone funds like the gold standard. I remember,
Speaker 1: like in class before I had a dog and people
Speaker 1: are like, and I have a Golden Retriever, and heads
Speaker 1: like I have a Golden Retriever. I have a Golden Retriever.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what the fuck is this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: hugenic shit man. We had a town that has all
Speaker 1: these like Golden Retrievers. Something's up. What's the Golden Retriever
Speaker 1: to resident ratio? That's what we need to know. You know,
Speaker 1: Golden Retriever specifically very small because they're the ruling class.
Speaker 1: It's like the one percent. Mayor Max is the one percent. Wow,
Speaker 1: I saw the cutest thing. I saw a very fat
Speaker 1: I'm some kind of mud but it looked like chihuaha size,
Speaker 1: but like curly poodle hairp but with like no fur
Speaker 1: on its tail at all, like a little rat tail
Speaker 1: sticking out. It was. It looked like it looked like
Speaker 1: a Wallace and Groment sheep. It was like the greatest
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen. And he was just rooting around
Speaker 1: in the snow bank while Mayor Max was getting and
Speaker 1: photo ops and I was like, this is something's up.
Speaker 1: Then have you seen Do you know who Mayor Max's
Speaker 1: father is? That Labrador retriever? Yeah, he likes it, he
Speaker 1: likes he likes the hide where he comes from, Mayor Max.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? His father's brown. Anyway, more
Speaker 1: on that later, Andrew, what is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I guess given the specific day we
Speaker 1: got to give him there one day, got to give
Speaker 1: it up for resistance libs. You know what. I'm eating
Speaker 1: my pussy hat as we speak. They're they're the winners today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, this is I think just you know, for
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, everyone's like, you know, elementary school
Speaker 1: art teacher rolling up her smock today and just drinking
Speaker 1: her coffee and knowing that her justice was served, and
Speaker 1: that's what that's what matters. I know a few parents
Speaker 1: that are very proud right now, probably some Yeah I've
Speaker 1: seen It's why. It's I can't handle those takes where like, again,
Speaker 1: these are this like they're in a different reality where
Speaker 1: than mere thought just him being indict is like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's done. Thank god for that. Biden twenty four. Here
Speaker 1: we go. It's just gonna be They've rolled over um.
Speaker 1: But my god, it's I guess that is in a
Speaker 1: way like I'm jealous because I'm like, I wish reading
Speaker 1: that put me eddies, Like, yeah, I agree with you
Speaker 1: on that because I had a couple friends in town
Speaker 1: and their parents are like very much on that, like
Speaker 1: old liberals, time Democrat vibe. Yeah, And they were texting
Speaker 1: in their family group chat just being like did you
Speaker 1: hear the news, and like their mom giving like minute
Speaker 1: a minute update about the Trump indictment and they were like,
Speaker 1: you know, like we get news notifications right, like we
Speaker 1: we also have you are not our sole resource for
Speaker 1: this this news, but they are so excited. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is like white boomer liberals. OJ verdict. Yes, yeah, this
Speaker 1: is like like not to like bopeting. But it isn't
Speaker 1: like we won, we won. What the fuck did we win? Right? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. Yeah, It's just so hard for me to
Speaker 1: see that and get excited. I remember I was in
Speaker 1: a fucking meeting when it happened, and when I got out,
Speaker 1: like I saw my phone and I did a double
Speaker 1: take because I was like, wait, what the fuck happened?
Speaker 1: And then the whole car ride back, I didn't even
Speaker 1: listen to the news. I'm like, all right, I'll check
Speaker 1: in on this later. I'm like, it didn't It just
Speaker 1: didn't do anything for me. But again, I think it
Speaker 1: just takes time because, like we said in yesterday's episode,
Speaker 1: this guy's batting a thousand when he goes up to
Speaker 1: plate to fucking avoid accountability. So I'm like, yeah, you can't.
Speaker 1: You know, my cynicism is well earned. Um, so it
Speaker 1: is what it is. But hey, look, if you if
Speaker 1: you enjoy, go on and celebrate, you know, go shut
Speaker 1: down an intersection, you know what I mean. So, Douce Donuts,
Speaker 1: today's your day. You're on top. You know, Women's March everything,
Speaker 1: you win, you definitely win. Today. We all win, No, Andrew,
Speaker 1: we all win. Yeah, but they win him a little more.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that victory too. I'm like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was here with you all the whole time. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about the lead up to
Speaker 1: Trump's arrangement after this and we're back. So, yes, as
Speaker 1: you were saying, Trump turning himself in, everybody wants to
Speaker 1: be there. They want to see it happen live. But
Speaker 1: apparently reporters have gone full fan when it comes to
Speaker 1: camping outside the courthouse overnight in a very long line
Speaker 1: because they just want to get inside for the arrayment
Speaker 1: the next day. And here's the thing, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: At the time of this, when they were getting in line,
Speaker 1: no one even knew or it was never even announced
Speaker 1: quote how many reporters would be allowed inside. So this
Speaker 1: was just off a fucking like prayer, right, And apparently
Speaker 1: it all started on two PM on Monday, when, like
Speaker 1: I guess, word spread on Twitter and then the line
Speaker 1: got longer and there was just like this fomo, like
Speaker 1: journalism fomo kicked in, like all right, man, we got
Speaker 1: to get people down there now, Like I don't care
Speaker 1: fucking pay line waiters to do whatever the fuck you
Speaker 1: gotta do. So the line was apparently filled with representatives
Speaker 1: from all the major outlets like The New York Times
Speaker 1: and the AP, and it had to be organized by
Speaker 1: one of the people in line because they were afraid
Speaker 1: that like there was no way to create order from
Speaker 1: it all unless you could be like, here's our document
Speaker 1: that we're all saying when you were okay, you are
Speaker 1: in first position, yes you are there plus two people
Speaker 1: whatever by this blog called Law three sixty. But it
Speaker 1: wasn't all reporters, like some outlets actually hired journalism students
Speaker 1: and like professional line sitters who were like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: let me read the market real quick. Yeah, my rates
Speaker 1: doubled now to fucking spend to the night in line
Speaker 1: to get there, so you know, uh yeah, I just
Speaker 1: liked THO two that the group that was second in
Speaker 1: line website called Hellgate and why they were basically out
Speaker 1: here being like, hey, what are y'all other media companies.
Speaker 1: We'll sell you our spot if you got k we'll
Speaker 1: give it up right now. Nobody took the offer. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, it is what it is. It's just
Speaker 1: just it's just wild to see like how quickly because
Speaker 1: I believe the judge, so there was gonna be no
Speaker 1: cameras in there, but still they gotta get in there
Speaker 1: because that's what sells the fucking the advertisement. It's the
Speaker 1: third day, Like Andrew was saying, it's I love this.
Speaker 1: I also just love like even just like two hundred
Speaker 1: of the world's dumbinssed assholes could do a better job
Speaker 1: than ticket faster, just like coalescing. What time were you
Speaker 1: in line? Because there's no bots, you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that line didn't get botted. I mean I guess that's
Speaker 1: what those linesitters were were kind of the bots, right
Speaker 1: right right right right? Yeah, oh shit, Yeah, they're your
Speaker 1: actual like smurfs in drug parlance, to go get do
Speaker 1: your bidding. Yeah. So I'm not sure who got in
Speaker 1: or what the situations, but maybe we'll follow up on that.
Speaker 1: But it's just an interesting, like moment in time to
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, wait out in the fucking cold for
Speaker 1: these tickets that don't exist. What's the What was the
Speaker 1: weather in New York last night? I think it was nice.
Speaker 1: It was like Becca you were there probably fifty Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I was the germ store with a beautiful, a medium
Speaker 1: down sleeping bag. Oh yeah, you definitely didn't need much
Speaker 1: because it's like hot today, so yeah, I imagine overnight
Speaker 1: it cold. I mean New Yorkers, you know, you just
Speaker 1: you got your Tims, you got your triple Fat boots,
Speaker 1: Huffy Puffer, bubble goose. Yeah, you got another New York thing.
Speaker 1: I was like, come on, now, you got a Yankee
Speaker 1: fitted a pizza, a pizza Yankee fitted, Ninja Turtles, Batman.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk quickly about Jill Biden. I guess
Speaker 1: do we want to? Yeah, let's so. We talked about
Speaker 1: this on the Trending episode on Monday. The NCAA Women's
Speaker 1: Championship game occurred over the weekend where LSU overcame Iowa
Speaker 1: and Angel Reese has been a fucking standout athlete throughout
Speaker 1: the tournament, breaking all kinds of records and shit like that,
Speaker 1: and again also unfortunately was shoved into the limelight because
Speaker 1: of her trash top game because it's scalding hot and yeah,
Speaker 1: when you watch sports, you like that. That was until
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark of Iowa ended up on the receiving end
Speaker 1: of such taunts. Now see, Caitlyn Clark is also a
Speaker 1: very talented player, and she was also getting a ton
Speaker 1: of praise for her competitiveness and all this, and she
Speaker 1: would regularly throughout the tournament hit people with the Sina
Speaker 1: hand in front of face, I oh, you can't see
Speaker 1: me type shit like I'm fucking next level with it.
Speaker 1: There are even times if she would like wave players
Speaker 1: off on defense like I don't need to fuck indeed,
Speaker 1: this motherfucker, this fucking scrub up, and people were like yeah.
Speaker 1: One time she told another player to shut up, and
Speaker 1: again everyone's like yeah. However, when it came to this
Speaker 1: championship game and Angel Reese, a black woman, came for
Speaker 1: that ass, the amount of tears and pearl clutching that
Speaker 1: came from like Twitter avatars that looked like they were
Speaker 1: taking inside of a pickup truck. Though, those people started
Speaker 1: getting very very mad, and we were hearing things like
Speaker 1: it's unsportsmanlike and not glassy. It's a distraction from her
Speaker 1: team and all the good she's done as an athlete.
Speaker 1: It's a district it actually takes away we even we
Speaker 1: hear this all the time when people of color do
Speaker 1: things that white people do, you know. Like one version
Speaker 1: of it too is even how when people were fucking
Speaker 1: taking to the streets in the summer of twenty twenty rightfully,
Speaker 1: then people were like, oh god, the anger and stuff
Speaker 1: it's taking away from the point it's taking away. Is
Speaker 1: there another way they could do it that isn't just
Speaker 1: so uh, you know, And then cut to January six, Yeah,
Speaker 1: people are like, oh god, this was a setup anyway.
Speaker 1: So again white people got very mad, Like Keith Olberman
Speaker 1: had something to say. He was like, fuck, what do
Speaker 1: you say? Called her a fucking idiot or something something
Speaker 1: really aggressive. I was gonna say, it's not just people
Speaker 1: in front of pickup trucks getting mad. This is yeah,
Speaker 1: this is It's also the MSNBC set too. Let's not
Speaker 1: let's let's let's keep it g real here. And you
Speaker 1: saw it up and down from many people with this
Speaker 1: like really, it's like a litmus test and be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you want to figure out people you have nothing
Speaker 1: in common with, let's just see what they're what they're
Speaker 1: What was their response to this rorshack test? Like what
Speaker 1: did they see? Because I think Mike, myself and most
Speaker 1: other people we saw like a competitive person who was
Speaker 1: just being competitive. And again, also, trash talk is one
Speaker 1: of the best fucking parts of sports, Like, hands down,
Speaker 1: it's the shit that for all the celebrating of like
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan and stuff like that, that was one of
Speaker 1: his most potent tools as an athlete. But in this
Speaker 1: instance it was like, so somehow overtook the whole conversation
Speaker 1: when it should have been about how, you know, well,
Speaker 1: like how well the LSU team did to win the
Speaker 1: national championship for basketball. Well, this is Iowa's fucking lucky year.
Speaker 1: Because Joe Biden has to hit the campaign trail soon
Speaker 1: and if he is indeed running again, Iowa can be
Speaker 1: a big, big guest in terms of a like world
Speaker 1: college scheme of things as like a you know, I
Speaker 1: mean now it's gone red but still seen as a
Speaker 1: swing state, also important to the primaries and things like that.
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. When Jill Biden went to
Speaker 1: Colorado the following day, she mentioned that she was looking
Speaker 1: forward to having the champions in the house as well
Speaker 1: as the losers. Let me just play this, I attended
Speaker 1: the NCAA Women's basketball Championship. Congratulations to both team. So
Speaker 1: I know we'll have the champions come to UM to
Speaker 1: the so you know we'll have LSU. But you know
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna tell Joe, I think Iowa should come
Speaker 1: too because they played such a good game. So right,
Speaker 1: so winners and losers. That starts worship. No, what is
Speaker 1: the game, doctor, Jill. Look, I get it when it's kids.
Speaker 1: These are fucking elite athletes, Okay, so they know what
Speaker 1: comes along with competing at the highest levels. If you
Speaker 1: don't go all the way and you have to take
Speaker 1: an L, then you take an L and you knuckle
Speaker 1: down and you try again. That's just the spirit of
Speaker 1: competition and athletics and whatever. It's not like, fuck, man,
Speaker 1: are you sure we can't go to because Angel Reese
Speaker 1: made me feel real bad, like and that's where we're
Speaker 1: fucking at. I'm like, this is the like the most
Speaker 1: ultimate both sides move except like currying favor with one
Speaker 1: side could potentially have election ramifications. Except no, like sure
Speaker 1: that that is the I mean, look again, shout out
Speaker 1: to resistance lips, you're the winners today. However, like their
Speaker 1: instinct to always reach out to white people, like like
Speaker 1: their obsession with the idea that like a bunch of
Speaker 1: like racist but not that racist White people are the
Speaker 1: most important people in the United States electorally while they
Speaker 1: alienate black people, especially this move. Yeah, like this, you're
Speaker 1: actually losing people. You're making it clear that you care
Speaker 1: about Again, convincible racists is what you think are the
Speaker 1: most important people on earth. And that's why you fucking
Speaker 1: govern the way you do. And that's why like when
Speaker 1: people say Democrats take you know, people of color, but
Speaker 1: mostly black folks for granted, Yeah, they're right, Well, because
Speaker 1: this is the thing the logic would be. And I'm
Speaker 1: saying election ramifications in the sense that they're looking at
Speaker 1: a map and go, well, Louisiana is an l like
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, in the most cynical way
Speaker 1: where they're like, what are we gonna in their minds, like,
Speaker 1: what are we gonna alienate Louisiana. You're never gonna do
Speaker 1: anything there, Iowa though with again to your point, not
Speaker 1: realizing that every single person who saw that, no matter
Speaker 1: where they fucking live, goes, what the fuck They've never
Speaker 1: even done this before, Like when have they ever brought
Speaker 1: the this like never, It would be unprecedented that we
Speaker 1: now are like the losers too, And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: like because losers don't deserve shit, but again, this like
Speaker 1: bending over backwards to accommodate people because they got frightened
Speaker 1: by this elite athlete who is just as competitive as
Speaker 1: this white woman. That what the fuck? Like, that's how
Speaker 1: it reads her fans, specifically with Kaitlin Clark's fans. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna strongly and confidently pull out of my ass are
Speaker 1: way over a decks for white people. So like, that's
Speaker 1: who Joe Biden's really like talking to. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: here's the other other way to look at it is.
Speaker 1: You know, even with all that this franchiseman and all
Speaker 1: the fucking bullshit that Republicans have done, if every black
Speaker 1: person who could vote voted, there would never be a
Speaker 1: Republican in national office, not national office, but like the
Speaker 1: presidency like ever again as with the parties as currently constituted.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, guess what, like that's your actually, Like,
Speaker 1: if there was enthusiasm from black folks about voting it
Speaker 1: higher proportions than you know, the dumb white people that
Speaker 1: they seem to care about Joe Biden's president every year forever. Yeah, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean the problem is right, like to your point
Speaker 1: that what that can be promised only can only go
Speaker 1: so far until until it means reckoning with white supremacy
Speaker 1: or capitalism. Then we gotta hit the breaks. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can offer you this can take cloth and I
Speaker 1: will kneel in the rotunda, but don't ask me to
Speaker 1: take away qualified immunity or come on now, hey, I
Speaker 1: will bring Alicia Keys on stage for this event. But
Speaker 1: let's not you know, let's not talk about it advocating
Speaker 1: for like worker right. The wild thing is Jill Biden
Speaker 1: spokesperson came out and was like like tried to clean
Speaker 1: it up and was just like it was like more
Speaker 1: so she said that to basically underscore how far like
Speaker 1: women's athletics have come, you know, entitle nine and all that,
Speaker 1: and so that that's what she meant. And everyone's like sure,
Speaker 1: jan sure, like that's that's what How does that make sense?
Speaker 1: How Well it doesn't, because it's a terrible way to
Speaker 1: try and like rationalize what was said because it was
Speaker 1: offensive and a lot of people in the replies were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you should she should actually be saying this out her
Speaker 1: account and apologizing from her account because to a lot
Speaker 1: of people. It felt like, Oh, I'm reading the room
Speaker 1: here and saying, Okay, this group needs some soothing and
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to use my power as
Speaker 1: first Lady to do some soothing here. When most people
Speaker 1: are like, this is fucked, you should maybe just defend
Speaker 1: Angel Reese and say I think it's overblown. You know,
Speaker 1: she's a competitor. I love to see that you're not
Speaker 1: wishing that good. Well. It's also just like the nature
Speaker 1: of the game. It's like for a generation that really
Speaker 1: yelled at us millennials being like, yall are too soft
Speaker 1: and everyone gets a participation trophy. You really gave out
Speaker 1: the participation trophy. Yeah, you really said we're all winners today.
Speaker 1: If I was tweeting, I was like when I first thought,
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the future liberals want, you know,
Speaker 1: like this is what they want. If you're the fucking
Speaker 1: IOWA team, you think you're like little losers, is gonna
Speaker 1: be fun. It's everyone's gonna hate that they're gonna stand
Speaker 1: there with the LSU team. Everyone's gonna be like look
Speaker 1: at each other, like mean girls, like m like no
Speaker 1: one wants to be there. Everyone's uncomfortable including the LSU team,
Speaker 1: because you know, Angel Reese, she's like a fucking joke,
Speaker 1: is what she She quote tweeted that ship so quick
Speaker 1: and people were like, yeah, that part and even her
Speaker 1: other like other teammates were like, uh, can we party
Speaker 1: like maybe Michelle Obama's house or something like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't really need to go to the White House
Speaker 1: and look. And with that one, fucking you're both sides
Speaker 1: ing you did the thing what you didn't intend to do,
Speaker 1: but you don't have the foresight to see because you're
Speaker 1: just trying to people please, which is you alienated both
Speaker 1: motherfucking sides. Yeah, except for the few people who are like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is what I love about Jill Biden, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. She she understands, she gets it, she
Speaker 1: gets it. And Shack is over here telling him, like
Speaker 1: Dave Portnoy that his mom is like an idiot and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So it's all, it's all, it's all
Speaker 1: whacky right now. I was thinking, like, how could they
Speaker 1: even do it in a way that would make it
Speaker 1: not take away from the LSU thing. Were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the IOWA team can be outside in the sun while
Speaker 1: the LSU team gets the tour and has like a
Speaker 1: lunch and then we could do a little guarden party
Speaker 1: if y'all still feeling it, where the Iowa team will
Speaker 1: be waiting outside. But they're the regular tour that everyone
Speaker 1: else gets. You know, like if you go to DC
Speaker 1: and you just you go buy the White House, We'll
Speaker 1: just like invite them too, Dacy, and then you know,
Speaker 1: LSU can like actually be in the White House. I
Speaker 1: mean Coowterpoint, do they? They'll have that court that Obama
Speaker 1: put up in the backyard. Let's just fucking good game.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, right, Yo, let's settle this ship. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, fuck down there? What is the Capital
Speaker 1: One Center is like where the main arenas or the
Speaker 1: Wizards player Like, yo, fuck it booking Capital One right now?
Speaker 1: Let's fucking go the rematch and it just one one
Speaker 1: on one Caitlin and Angel, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: NBA JAM rules, It should be NBA jam R Yeah yah,
Speaker 1: no fouls, no ref no fouls, no fouls. Yeah on
Speaker 1: fire is allowed. Oh yeah, and yeah. With Angel Reese
Speaker 1: coming from Baltimore, I think she'll have a little bit
Speaker 1: of heart in that game. But no, she doesn't need
Speaker 1: to play for that because you already won. Good for you,
Speaker 1: but it sucks. I bet like that Obama court probably
Speaker 1: came down as quick as fucking Jimmy Carter Solar panels
Speaker 1: when Reagan came into That's true, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: what he's like dents like, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1: Get it out of my face? How tall is Barren? Now?
Speaker 1: Baron's like nice, Yes, he's so tall, gangly, Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: real gangle. Yeah, we'll see, We'll see where that goes.
Speaker 1: I mean, like the one picture that came out of him,
Speaker 1: he was dressed exactly like his dad, and like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's tough like when like I knew kids who like
Speaker 1: idolized their fathers, who are like had a little bit
Speaker 1: of like notoriety or something. And you either like are
Speaker 1: like fuck this guy forever or you become like I
Speaker 1: want to be like him no matter what. And it
Speaker 1: can be a bit of a tragic path. But do you, Baron.
Speaker 1: We're here waiting with bated breath. I know people say
Speaker 1: it's not cool to make fun of a little kid,
Speaker 1: but we're not making fun of I'm just saying he's six. No,
Speaker 1: I'm making fun of him. I say, I just will
Speaker 1: in general, not not just yeah, I'm like you gonna say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it depends in private. In private, yeah, Like
Speaker 1: I'll be like, man, I'm not gonna say this out loud,
Speaker 1: but that Nazi that could dunk on me that part shit.
Speaker 1: All right, let's hit up the folks over at CBS
Speaker 1: really quick. Sixty minutes. See a little bit of sound
Speaker 1: effects there. They are taking shit also for again during
Speaker 1: the lord's work of bringing Marjorie Taylor Green on and
Speaker 1: just absolutely shitting the bed not being able to hold
Speaker 1: her to account. And first of all, they kind of
Speaker 1: presented her as someone with quote having a sharp tongue
Speaker 1: and brazen gutsiness. My my, mize that what we're calling
Speaker 1: you these days. A sharp tongue when you say the
Speaker 1: Parkland shooting was a false flag, or brazen gutsiness when
Speaker 1: you talk about Jewish space lasers. Okay, whatever you want,
Speaker 1: whatever you want, but yeah, the interview seemingly sought to
Speaker 1: normalize her with this sort of like puff piece like
Speaker 1: presentation that like showed her like with her kids and
Speaker 1: you know what, yeah, and like are her lifting weights again?
Speaker 1: You know this is I get that she is a
Speaker 1: person of interest because she's in Congress. I don't think
Speaker 1: you'd be like, yo, fucking dead that, don't even put
Speaker 1: her on. But if you're gonna have her on, you
Speaker 1: better have somebody that's willing to not just be like,
Speaker 1: oh what else? Yeah okay, yeah yeah, because that really
Speaker 1: does have the effective people not fully understanding how extreme
Speaker 1: this person and completely but anyway, all that to say
Speaker 1: is Leslie Stall barely could rebut anything that Marjorie Taylor
Speaker 1: Green said, and it was really fucking painful, like it
Speaker 1: was kind of like teeth sucking at best, like oh okay,
Speaker 1: like I like really took to that, you know, And
Speaker 1: then she called Margie Taylor Green glib Oh okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1: And the most pushback she got was after when she
Speaker 1: called the Democrats the Party of pedophiles. Stall was like, okay,
Speaker 1: can you go on? She's like, yeah, well this is
Speaker 1: what they do, like like sexualife children's a pedophile does
Speaker 1: And all Leslie Stall did was go, wow, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's only one more syllable Dennis Haster, like
Speaker 1: this motherfucking Republican was a straight up child bolester, as
Speaker 1: they speaker the house or some shit like yeah, are
Speaker 1: you fucking kidding, like you can't be preped with that
Speaker 1: fucking leslie stall, Like exactly I was gonna say, you
Speaker 1: couldn't be prepped with when you asked that question, all
Speaker 1: the people the Republican Party, because I mean, there's more
Speaker 1: than just him. Matt Gays is accused of potentially of
Speaker 1: trafficking miners as well anything on that. That's the party
Speaker 1: that you're in, that's the man you appear on stage
Speaker 1: with at these like you know, Maga riot Fest speaking
Speaker 1: events that y'all do together. But again, it's just like
Speaker 1: really really fucking hard to watch because you're like, man,
Speaker 1: this is the easiest shit to be Like, even if
Speaker 1: you somehow weren't prepared that as a human, you don't
Speaker 1: want to be like nah, come on, what the fuck
Speaker 1: you're talking about? Like go on, But even then it's
Speaker 1: like wow, wow, Wow, Okay, whoa, that's a spicy meatball,
Speaker 1: just like, say, so that happened. If you're gonna do
Speaker 1: if you're going that weak, just like what do you
Speaker 1: why are you there? If that's all you can bring
Speaker 1: to the table, Yeah exactly. Yeah. Then she like pressed
Speaker 1: her about like she's like, you know, you do a
Speaker 1: lot of name calling, and then Green got really defensive
Speaker 1: and she was like, I've been unjustly described as anti
Speaker 1: Semitic and a racist. And then she's like, I'm not
Speaker 1: calling anyone names. I'm calling out the truth. Basically hello,
Speaker 1: basically hello, what okay? Whatever. You don't have a follow
Speaker 1: you could just read her tweets and just say, are
Speaker 1: you you're saying this is not racist? You're saying this
Speaker 1: is not racist. You're saying this semitic. You're literally yeah,
Speaker 1: you're out here like quote tweeting shit that You're like
Speaker 1: the Parkland shooting was a false flag. You're not saying
Speaker 1: that now, No, no, just do some pressing, because that's
Speaker 1: the responsibility of somebody when I mean any journalist. When
Speaker 1: you have somebody who's out here like that, it's really like, honestly,
Speaker 1: like how lazy are the fucking like journalists and producers
Speaker 1: at sixty minutes? Just like are they scared? Like this
Speaker 1: is yeah, this is shit you could put together in
Speaker 1: five minutes on the car ride there. Oh yeah, tell
Speaker 1: me right now, I could prep two minutes. Yeah, two
Speaker 1: fucking minutes. I got it so wild. It has to
Speaker 1: be a choice, And it's like the footing yeah, it's
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, just one of those things too, where
Speaker 1: like you know, sixty minutes has been around for fucking ages, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it feels like one of those things, or like
Speaker 1: because it's been around for ages New York Times like that,
Speaker 1: it's not able to actually reckon with the era that
Speaker 1: we're in and the people that are inside or even
Speaker 1: like oh yeah that's fine. Like I remember even what's
Speaker 1: his face from Axios Jonathan Swan, remember like he was
Speaker 1: pressing Trump fucking hard. Yeah, he was like even for
Speaker 1: you know, not maybe going all in like maybe we
Speaker 1: would have liked seen, but at the very least being
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, We'll look at this paper like
Speaker 1: I got it right, I have the receipts here, Yeah,
Speaker 1: please any comment? Yeah. So I think that's just like
Speaker 1: very aggravating. I think for me, and like I think
Speaker 1: most people who are looking at it, is like we
Speaker 1: need the kind of journalism that is going to make
Speaker 1: sure that these people are explaining what they have to say,
Speaker 1: so people who are unaware have an actual accurate idea
Speaker 1: of what this person is saying where they stand, rather
Speaker 1: than being like, yeah, so what she says? Some of
Speaker 1: those foul shit but she has kids and she likes
Speaker 1: to lift weights. But he's a mom better than a
Speaker 1: five second Google search, Yeah, yeah, Like it's so bizarre
Speaker 1: that this is worse than that. Yeah, I mean I'm
Speaker 1: googling right now, like in the most infantile way, bad things.
Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green has said. And you know there's nine
Speaker 1: thousand listicals right there, producers, Yeah, right fucking there. Um,
Speaker 1: And like it's so really if you're worse than a
Speaker 1: listical light at this shop, I know, shit for real, right, Like,
Speaker 1: please somebody help help them, help them? All right, Uh,
Speaker 1: let's let's let's take a quick break. Uh, and we'll
Speaker 1: we'll be right back to talk some more immedia stuff
Speaker 1: right after this, and we're back. James Patterson, you know,
Speaker 1: the author, and I guess brand like at this point,
Speaker 1: like I don't even know him as a person. I'm
Speaker 1: just like that's a word that's put on books I
Speaker 1: would never fucking buy, or just you know you see
Speaker 1: them like like at like an airport bookstore and you're like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? Like this guy still writes shit about
Speaker 1: like a robot that fucks a cop or something. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he recently penned a very angry open letter complaining that
Speaker 1: his new book Walk the Blue Line, No Right, No Left,
Speaker 1: which is not topaganda, I tell you, wasn't included on
Speaker 1: the New York Times bestseller list. How could that fucking be?
Speaker 1: He suggested that the Times was quote cooking the books
Speaker 1: and pointing out that their list didn't line up with BookScan,
Speaker 1: which quote compiles book sales data and lists his book
Speaker 1: a lot higher than the New York Times did. The
Speaker 1: Times we're basically saying, like this is based off of
Speaker 1: our own detailed analysis of book sales from this is
Speaker 1: that and the other, you know, brick and mortar independent.
Speaker 1: And they also pointed out they're like, dude, this guy's
Speaker 1: been on our list literally over four thousand times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is he fucking complaining about? Like it was like
Speaker 1: they're sort of like what their rebut is like, it's
Speaker 1: not that we don't have a fucking agenda against him.
Speaker 1: This one just didn't hit the fucking marks. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: like you sold them bajillion different books, God forbid, one
Speaker 1: of them wasn't that good. And also this is a
Speaker 1: direct quote from The New York Times. Um, we love
Speaker 1: coppaganda and fucking cop dick more than anything on earth.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so the proposition that we would somehow censor
Speaker 1: this book is absurd on its face. Yeah right, I
Speaker 1: just yea, yeah, excuse that person was here or not.
Speaker 1: We agree with the values of this book. We just
Speaker 1: thought it was poorly written. I mean, Joseph Khan, who's
Speaker 1: the executive editor, he had to change his title from
Speaker 1: executive editor to Kappa Gandalf because that's how much he
Speaker 1: lacks kappaganda on here. That's what we do at the
Speaker 1: New York Times. That's just how we get down. But anyway,
Speaker 1: the Patterson does raise a point about the best seller
Speaker 1: list because it is weird, like even how they say,
Speaker 1: it's like it's our own proprietary blend of herbs and spices.
Speaker 1: How we figure out who gets on the list? Reportedly
Speaker 1: quote no one outside the New York Times knows exactly
Speaker 1: how it's best sellers are calculated, and they keep their
Speaker 1: own sources a secret, supposedly to like circumvent any pressure
Speaker 1: that could happen because they people learn how to game
Speaker 1: the system. But we know that there is a way
Speaker 1: to game the system, and the Times list often it
Speaker 1: doesn't line up with BookScan like they're like their rankings either.
Speaker 1: So some people in publishing have suggested that a certain
Speaker 1: amount of quote unquote curation goes into the lists. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Kapa Gandalf denies any wrongdoing here, and some authors like
Speaker 1: do higher specific companies that actually are like, yo, our
Speaker 1: whole thing is we run best sellers campaigns. That's what
Speaker 1: we do, and we can get to on this fucking list.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest companies that does this was a
Speaker 1: rebranded version of a company that basically was like in
Speaker 1: hot water for pushing books from like the religious right
Speaker 1: onto the list. And they're, oh, yeah, we're not doing
Speaker 1: that anymore, like even though they paid us their clients,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're we're off that. And basically he was
Speaker 1: saying the reason his book, Patterson's book Copaganda, was off
Speaker 1: the list was basically politically motivated because it's about cops.
Speaker 1: And he similarly complained that Mike Pompeo's book should have
Speaker 1: been higher on the list too. The book I'm sure
Speaker 1: is fucking unreadable. I mean, in fact, I did bother
Speaker 1: to like look at James Patterson's website to see how
Speaker 1: he was promoting this also from the authors I love too,
Speaker 1: because he's like basically used his ghostwriters. Like I think
Speaker 1: most people are like this guy didn't even write the
Speaker 1: books anymore. He's just like it's always somewhere. He's like
Speaker 1: really old now, right, Yeah, he's seventy four, he's fully
Speaker 1: in boom. Yeah, what's seventy four year olds writing full
Speaker 1: ass books? A lot of people are, I mean, but
Speaker 1: they probably put a little more like thought into it,
Speaker 1: not like this guy who's just shitting out like love
Speaker 1: letters to the police state. But yeah, there's like this
Speaker 1: excerpt from it. I'm just gonna read this, Like, so
Speaker 1: this other book, like the Vibe is this one's called
Speaker 1: Tim O'Brien. Tim O'Brien was working in the mortgage industry when,
Speaker 1: at thirty, he decided to become a police officer. I
Speaker 1: approached the car and say, do you know why I
Speaker 1: pulled you over? The guy behind the wheel doesn't know
Speaker 1: what to say. It's six am and he's dressed for work.
Speaker 1: I was speeding, He asks, No, are my stickers expired? No?
Speaker 1: Are my tail lights up? No license and registration please.
Speaker 1: One of the essentials of police work is learning to
Speaker 1: use your discretion when you can't and can't arrest someone
Speaker 1: when you can write a ticket or write a warning.
Speaker 1: I run the guy's name through the computer and like
Speaker 1: goes on about how this guy's like he lets someone
Speaker 1: off with a warning, and he's like, that's how I
Speaker 1: look at policing. It's not about arresting every single guy.
Speaker 1: And that's like the nuance, even though it might get
Speaker 1: you in trouble with blah blah blah. And it's like
Speaker 1: the most dull thing I've ever read. But it sounds
Speaker 1: like that poor man didn't deserve to be pulled over,
Speaker 1: and that you were probably pulling him over because you
Speaker 1: were bored at six am. Yeah, did you describe the
Speaker 1: man you pulled over? I don't know, but anyway, it's
Speaker 1: not it's not important, not relevant, not relevant, not relevant,
Speaker 1: not relevant anyway, And like it goes on to then
Speaker 1: talk about how this guy has kids or whatever. It's like,
Speaker 1: I can't believe even someone thinks I'm from the excerpt
Speaker 1: I read that this is spell binding. No, yeah, it
Speaker 1: reads like text messages to somebody telling you about their day.
Speaker 1: And then like, here's something too, Like Jim Pasco, who
Speaker 1: we heard a lot of from the he's for the
Speaker 1: executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police. He's
Speaker 1: also copigand alf too is his title. He said, Walk
Speaker 1: the Blue Line is the book that law enforcement community
Speaker 1: has been waiting for. These stories showcase the courage, the hurt,
Speaker 1: the anger, and the joy that can be found in
Speaker 1: every officer's DNA. They're sure so like also telling on
Speaker 1: yourself that this whole open letter should have been an
Speaker 1: email to his publicist. Hey, this just means his publishing
Speaker 1: company didn't choose to spend the same amount of money
Speaker 1: on him as they did last time. Yeah, and like
Speaker 1: that's sad for you, my dude, that's not sad for
Speaker 1: the whole world, because yeah, New York Times can be
Speaker 1: bought and sold, so when they weren't bought and sold,
Speaker 1: that's all you sort of Yeah, you do better, don't ask.
Speaker 1: Don't ask, Joe Biden and by you to the cookout. Now,
Speaker 1: go back in the lab and start lifting those risks
Speaker 1: weights and write something better, Jimmy, And to this point, right,
Speaker 1: people game the fucking system like that Mike Pompeo book.
Speaker 1: It debuted at number three on the best seller list
Speaker 1: because his fucking pack spent forty two grand on a
Speaker 1: bulk order of books. Same thing happened with doju Donald
Speaker 1: Trump Junior's book give us so many books. There's so
Speaker 1: many people who know authors that have bulks saying so
Speaker 1: they could be on the New York Times like and
Speaker 1: they in theory flag them, Like I heard that. There's
Speaker 1: like if you just look at it, there's like a
Speaker 1: little yeah, so it shows like, oh, no suspicions activity
Speaker 1: And it's like, then why are you even put on
Speaker 1: the list if you are recognizing the suspicion's activity right exactly,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like if you know they
Speaker 1: hit all them home runs off steroids, then maybe we
Speaker 1: those don't count. Yeah, maybe we didn't put on the list,
Speaker 1: but whatever do you because that's how this industry works,
Speaker 1: hand in hand with it all. I mean, yeah, the
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior book, The Fucking RNC spent over ninety
Speaker 1: four thousand by trying to prop that ship up to
Speaker 1: get it on the fucking list. And like you said,
Speaker 1: there is the dagger there, but they all get on
Speaker 1: the list. And other books that have basically used the
Speaker 1: same practice, releases from Judge Janine Pierrot or Mark Levin
Speaker 1: and Ben Shapiro like which again it gives people the
Speaker 1: idea that you're like, oh, people are fucking like want
Speaker 1: to hear what they say. But that's just a fucking,
Speaker 1: you know, presentational trick to get people to be like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: maybe it's worth buying. Because the thing is, when you
Speaker 1: get on that list, reportedly, you can increase sales by
Speaker 1: like fifty seven percent because people just sort of like
Speaker 1: people critically look at it and they're like, oh, yeah, great, great,
Speaker 1: great great great, Oh god, it buy this, you know what?
Speaker 1: You know what New York Times Bestseller list is? That
Speaker 1: shit is just Twitter blue for books. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: there it is there it is. Thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: James Patterson for pointing that out, but thank you Andrew
Speaker 1: t for bringing that shit home exactly. It's exactly what
Speaker 1: it is. And we don't have we barely have any
Speaker 1: scripts we can run to find out what's what unless
Speaker 1: it has that dagger, you know. But Andrew, thank you
Speaker 1: so much man for joining us today on the Daily Zeitgeist. Man,
Speaker 1: it's always a pleasure really looking out for twenty three
Speaker 1: and t all that I will give you my TNA
Speaker 1: and I don't mean that A is TNA, but I
Speaker 1: mean TI nucleic acid. And yes, again where can people
Speaker 1: find you, follow you and all that, and what's the
Speaker 1: tweet or some internet I mean, don't comment me on
Speaker 1: Twitter if you got Twitter blue, because you're already blocked.

Speaker 1: these days is we're trying to we're doing shiit Registract
Speaker 1: is coming up, so we're trying to do shit on
Speaker 1: the premium side of yos this racist at Suboptimal Pods.
Speaker 1: Check it out. We think it's fun. There's a new
Speaker 1: episode of Dale Dudes, which is the podcast where Matt
Speaker 1: Appadak and I do a watch along slash other talk
Speaker 1: about a five to six minute episode of Chippa Dale
Speaker 1: Park Life, which does not have words. I want to
Speaker 1: stress is what I mean. I would guess it's for
Speaker 1: kids that don't speak right. It's more for my dog
Speaker 1: than for me. My dog, of course, will be taking
Speaker 1: that Mayormax if I don't want also hashtag mayor Max
Speaker 1: is canceled watching that trending all I'm using all AI
Speaker 1: fucking attack as like a smear campaign. I can't. This
Speaker 1: is I can't. I'm even though I've become a father,
Speaker 1: somehow become more petty. I don't know what I thought
Speaker 1: you're supposed to mature out of that. No, I think
Speaker 1: you have time to be petty now, Like you know
Speaker 1: what it is, Yeah, right, go on in the wee
Speaker 1: hours when you're like trying to put this kid to bed.
Speaker 1: That's that's where the pettiness build. Yeah, what I do
Speaker 1: is my exhaustion. I turned that into a frustration that
Speaker 1: I direct at someone like like a dog mayor, so
Speaker 1: I could and I use that to power me through
Speaker 1: the night and being like just be like yeah, wait,
Speaker 1: just wait, Mayor Max, Yeah, let me. I would guess
Speaker 1: like pettiness is probably a better petty eat this as
Speaker 1: long as you're like, you know, just doing shit like
Speaker 1: smearing a dog mayor or something like, it's better than
Speaker 1: letting get to build it to road rage or whatever
Speaker 1: the fuck. You know. Wait, so, how many Mayor Maxes
Speaker 1: are there? Mayor Max is a mayor second. Yeah, Mayor
Speaker 1: Max is as a depotism, you know. Look, I'm not

Speaker 1: not a good look when the two mayors are father
Speaker 1: and son in the last two Wow. Wow, fucking NEPO
