Speaker 1: in a pre depressed disparity, Like I was really just

Speaker 1: cocoon and an election. I actually I just ended up
Speaker 1: watching like Fast in the Furious Tokyo Drift. I watched

Speaker 1: and Lieutenant Dan is like this, like all sullen while
Speaker 1: all this confetti's falling down for the New Year. Damn.
Speaker 1: But now I'm you know, I'm relieved. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: just cooking. Yeah, we're cooking. You know, we're cooking. All right, Brody,
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners just
Speaker 1: a few of the stories we're talking about. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about just the straight up attempt by Lindsey Graham
Speaker 1: to rap fuck the election in Georgia, in particular, one
Speaker 1: of his own GOP home he's told on him. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they're straight up trying to do election fraud. So we'll
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the president's attempt
Speaker 1: to bomb Iran on the way out, just to kind
Speaker 1: of put a punctuation mark on his presidency. It seems
Speaker 1: like we're gonna talk about the rumors coming out of
Speaker 1: the Biden transition team that he is not going to
Speaker 1: pursue a Trump investigation because he just wants to move forward.
Speaker 1: He just wants to play nice. Yeah, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: more fight clubs, this time at McGill in Montreal. There's
Speaker 1: a fight club. We'll talk about Michael Bay's new pandemic thriller.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Parlor, all of that plentymore. But first, Brody,
Speaker 1: we like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history, uh, that you don't want us to
Speaker 1: know about? Um? I mean, I'm pretty open about all
Speaker 1: of my faiths that I I do, sir, but I
Speaker 1: am a little bit embarrassed um that it's two weeks
Speaker 1: after Halloween and my search history is so full of
Speaker 1: Halloween stuff. I can't I can't get enough of spooky stuff.
Speaker 1: Like you look like you want to buy spooky stuff
Speaker 1: to put in the house. No, I'm goth, and you
Speaker 1: guys knew that. You guys accepted that I'm a goth American. Um,
Speaker 1: I do want some spooky stuff in my house. I
Speaker 1: do have a couple of spooky things, like I have
Speaker 1: a large kimono on a wall, um and a blackout
Speaker 1: like a week ago and it was very creepy, um
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Um. So the thing that I have
Speaker 1: have been I think the weirdest thing that I've searched
Speaker 1: or still keep searching, is, um this thing called Jimmy.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to pronounce it right, but it's Halloween costumes
Speaker 1: that are like, um, very like mundane and like specific.
Speaker 1: It's like a Japanese trend called Jimmy. Yeah, like just
Speaker 1: meaning like subdued, like just playing totally just like playing
Speaker 1: folloween costumes of like someone who has like has too
Speaker 1: many pens in their pocket, or somebody's like waiting in line,
Speaker 1: but they're like busy to go somewhere else. So yes,
Speaker 1: like a very Japanese bit to just be like no,
Speaker 1: these are meat Like it's like someone who dressed up
Speaker 1: as like, oh, I dressed up as someone who has
Speaker 1: a lanyard and it's flips the wrong way. That's incredible.
Speaker 1: You can definitely tell the difference between good and bad coffee. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: have to explain it. It's pretty much my favorite thing.
Speaker 1: Your your search has ruined my day because now this
Speaker 1: is all I'm going to be looking at. Absolutely. Yes,
Speaker 1: some of these are super brilliant, like they it's not
Speaker 1: always just like super mundane. And like one of them
Speaker 1: is a woman with her face painted as a standard
Speaker 1: Zoom background, like a little piece of the standard Zoom background,
Speaker 1: and her costume is that weird thing that sometimes happened
Speaker 1: with Zoom meeting backgrounds uh. And then they have like
Speaker 1: bystanders from a famous frame and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. They
Speaker 1: just have like a dude from the background of that.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at this absolute see his Jojo memes.
Speaker 1: He'd be posting. You know, you know me, what is
Speaker 1: something you think is overrated? Brodie? Um, something I think
Speaker 1: is overrated? And um this might just be directed at
Speaker 1: my old roommates, but I think, um it's overrated. When
Speaker 1: people put water in soap dispensers when the soap is
Speaker 1: running out. I'm really tired of this and I want
Speaker 1: to be like the advocate for people stopping this behavior. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like we're running out of soap. The spenser
Speaker 1: doesn't work anymore. I know we'll do we will activate it.
Speaker 1: Let's put some water in it, even though we already
Speaker 1: use water with soap every time you want your hands. Um,
Speaker 1: it annoys me. It always grosses me out when I
Speaker 1: when I feel it like loose soap. Yeah, when the
Speaker 1: viscosity is not right, it's like it's like colder, it's Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's almost like you're like, what the funk was that?
Speaker 1: It feels like someone sneezed into your hand. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: and yet and yet I have done this because this
Speaker 1: is the move you do. You don't have the refill, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have the refill yet, and you have like
Speaker 1: there's like some at the bottom like in the corners,
Speaker 1: but you don't you can like the little soapose the
Speaker 1: straw doesn't reach the corners. Uh, and so you just
Speaker 1: like put in a little water, shake it around. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I can. I can understand a little water for sure.
Speaker 1: It's when you pull up the whole thing, you go three.
Speaker 1: Just water. This is just liquid in here. It doesn't
Speaker 1: even that. This doesn't bring me any comfort. No one
Speaker 1: plus cebol effect that the thing that kills the bacteria
Speaker 1: is in your house, right Yeah. Yeah, as long as
Speaker 1: there's one solitary bubble that I can form when I
Speaker 1: like rub my hands, then there's still enough soap. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, y'all, don't don't cheat yourself. Go with that
Speaker 1: raw uncut soap. You know what I mean, don't step
Speaker 1: on it, don't cut it with water. Just give yourself
Speaker 1: the cleanliness you deserve. Ye a baking soda or baby
Speaker 1: laxative with baking soda. Call me. I need to talk
Speaker 1: to you. I need to figure out what's going on
Speaker 1: with you. If there's anyone out there who's like, there's
Speaker 1: like you have you heard about this though? That's a
Speaker 1: story I do want to hear. If someone's like, no, no no,
Speaker 1: I don't use soap anymore. Don't use soap baking soda. Now,
Speaker 1: baking soda is like, isn't that toothbrush like a teeth
Speaker 1: cleaning half? Yeah, but just not. You can't wash your
Speaker 1: hands at all. I mean as I look right now,
Speaker 1: you can make a paste using three tablespoons and baking
Speaker 1: soda with one tablespoon water mixed literally and use any
Speaker 1: paste hand cleaner. So not only way very clean, but
Speaker 1: your skin well. Thank you for not using hors toxins.
Speaker 1: It happened upon the secret to clean hands. Um, what
Speaker 1: is something you can of cocaine and soap with baking soda?
Speaker 1: Who knew? What's something you think is underrated? Um? Something
Speaker 1: I think is underrated is and hopefully you guys share
Speaker 1: this with me. But Hostess cupcakes, um, specifically the orange kind.
Speaker 1: I like orange Hostess cupcakes. I can only find them
Speaker 1: in some convenience stores. I can never find them in
Speaker 1: a grocery store. I can never find them in a
Speaker 1: pack bigger than two. Um, sometimes they just don't have them. Um,
Speaker 1: they sustain me sometimes when I'm like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: really stone or whatever, but they're a wicious Um. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have fucked with the citrus,
Speaker 1: because when I in my mind, the Hostess regular one
Speaker 1: is the chocolate brown one with the white swirly on top. Right,
Speaker 1: And okay, this is the one, except it's orange colored, yes,
Speaker 1: and it's orange favorite because too you know, truth be told,
Speaker 1: I've only messed around with the with the NORMI, the
Speaker 1: norm Core, just the icing, and I want, I do
Speaker 1: want both of you to treat yourselves. I mean, so
Speaker 1: you guys haven't experimented with the rest of the hostess catalog.
Speaker 1: If you guys had a snowball before, I'm host curious,
Speaker 1: but I haven't fully dove in yet. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I've definitely is the one that's like more marshmallowy than
Speaker 1: you would expect, right, the pink like coconutti and marsh one.
Speaker 1: That's one that, like in theory, I should be super into,
Speaker 1: but like the marshmallowness of it all doesn't doesn't really
Speaker 1: do it for me. Icing Jack show me. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: the I've never had the orange, but that sounds so
Speaker 1: there's like a citrus tang that they've infused into the Yes,
Speaker 1: the icing has a little bit of a citrus tang.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it has absolutely no nutritional value, not asking
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, okay, god, yeah, there's no vitamin seeing
Speaker 1: there or any of that bad but to fight off scurvy,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like if we're gonna be trash Americans, like,
Speaker 1: this is what America is unique for. Is like, it's
Speaker 1: not we America doesn't have any cuisine. We have fucking
Speaker 1: Hostess cupcakes that are made with all sorts of unnatural
Speaker 1: sciences that make it so that they don't break down
Speaker 1: over the course of twenty years, like they'll they'll still
Speaker 1: be moist if you leave them open on a shelf
Speaker 1: for twenty years. Uh, that is that's our offering to human.
Speaker 1: My favorite flavor since a very young age is blue raspberry,
Speaker 1: and I think that's real. Mine's mystery, that's my favorite flavor.
Speaker 1: If we're going on straight up, yeah, you like pops.
Speaker 1: And then they took one asshole to be like it's cherry.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the I'm on face with this mystery? Wait?
Speaker 1: I thought mystery was just a rotation of different ones
Speaker 1: without the food coloring. So it is. But I feel like,
Speaker 1: definitely it just on like maybe two flavors. Whenever a
Speaker 1: mystery was a blue raz I lost my mind running
Speaker 1: through the streets. Yeah, you become that gift for the
Speaker 1: dude with the kid with the dress and the wind.
Speaker 1: I actually am the kid in that. Um. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: blow Pops made it so that you could do the
Speaker 1: blue raz that was That was a big, big day
Speaker 1: for me. Oh man, did you have that thing with
Speaker 1: the tittsy pops? If like you had the rapper with
Speaker 1: the star on it, you'd be like a demand of
Speaker 1: another one for free. There was a bourbon legend that
Speaker 1: if you had the one that a star on top,
Speaker 1: you could exchange that for a free one. Yeah. That
Speaker 1: was born out of my school, like snack hut that
Speaker 1: they would have at the end of the day where
Speaker 1: you could go and like buy like a fucking thing
Speaker 1: for five cents and there they would be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if you got that, you can come back and we'll
Speaker 1: give you another one. I tried to do that at
Speaker 1: like a liquor store and then get the book ont
Speaker 1: of my was like, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you had that, like the I think we
Speaker 1: had that at like the fair at my elementary school.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I guess it's not it's not legally binding.
Speaker 1: This is not legal. Tender tried to tried to put
Speaker 1: a down payment on a house with that. We're gonna,
Speaker 1: excuse me, have these right here, so like we only
Speaker 1: except monopoly money, all right, let's get into uh, just
Speaker 1: a quick update on a story we talked about how
Speaker 1: the NYPD bust in on a fight club that was
Speaker 1: happening in a warehouse in the Bronx. Uh. And one
Speaker 1: of our listeners actually pointed out a few days ago
Speaker 1: at McGill University in Montreal, which is like Canada's Harvard.
Speaker 1: It's like one of the best schools in America. Uh,
Speaker 1: the freshmen were doing a fight club just out in
Speaker 1: a park where they had like sent out invitations. So
Speaker 1: not not great at the whole fight club thing. They
Speaker 1: didn't know the first rule of fight club. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not supposed to talk about it, but how did they
Speaker 1: get busted? They did put it out on social media.
Speaker 1: People people sent it around, but then the rumor had
Speaker 1: been that it like they sent it around. The campus
Speaker 1: security went and said that it was a hoax and
Speaker 1: that it hadn't really happened, but that a kid was
Speaker 1: walking back from the library and walked past the fight
Speaker 1: club and then like reported it and like took a
Speaker 1: picture of it. Um, and it was actually happening. It
Speaker 1: was just uh, they had switched the location, like you know,
Speaker 1: like good teenagers always were. Any of the people in
Speaker 1: the fight club wearing masks. That's the real question the list, right, So,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that really being safe, I don't
Speaker 1: think so. I think they were not. I think they
Speaker 1: were like because I know in the Bronx we heard
Speaker 1: oh my god, because the Bronx was like hookah and
Speaker 1: straight up fighting, and I'm like, right, it was just
Speaker 1: and so they're they're just wrastling, They're not like punching
Speaker 1: each other out. Yeah, they said there were three guys,
Speaker 1: like the it was organized in the sense that there
Speaker 1: were three guys who had a box of supplies, including
Speaker 1: water bottles. Uh so, you know, right here didn't seem
Speaker 1: to be clear rules around the fighting. The only ground
Speaker 1: rules seemed to be, uh no punches to the face
Speaker 1: and that like it seemed to emphasize grappling, but there
Speaker 1: wasn't organized gambling on who would win the fight. But
Speaker 1: then they didn't know like what constituted a win. Um,
Speaker 1: It's just like I don't know if this sounds like
Speaker 1: like like toxic masculinity, like dis guise like a hugging party,
Speaker 1: and they're like they're like, no, no, we call it
Speaker 1: a fight club. But I think that that's what we
Speaker 1: need that physical touch. I think that's all part of
Speaker 1: it is like the toxic masculinity bands, like the ability
Speaker 1: for men to have like physical contact without with one another.
Speaker 1: And I spec now that we have like covid uh
Speaker 1: you know quarantines, like people are really like isolated from
Speaker 1: one on other and so you know, this was actually
Speaker 1: a thesis that John Boys and Felix Biederman created this
Speaker 1: documentary called Fighting in the Age of Loneliness, Like I
Speaker 1: think it was a couple of years ago where the
Speaker 1: thesis was like the rise of M M A head
Speaker 1: corresponded with just like loneliness becoming more and more a
Speaker 1: thing because we were so physically isolated from one another
Speaker 1: because of technology. Yeah, sometimes one again in the octagon
Speaker 1: with your feelings right exactly, I'm I'm gonna do a
Speaker 1: counter one. It's called the homie hugging ring, where it's like,
Speaker 1: yeah that your boys in here and hug man do
Speaker 1: whatever the funk y'all want show each other affection. Let's
Speaker 1: take money, Let's put money on this. Who could hold
Speaker 1: the hugo. It's like fuck it, Like if that's the answer,
Speaker 1: Like really we should be also doing as much as well.
Speaker 1: I mean I think most people, if they're not if
Speaker 1: they're in touch with their you know, ability to be affectionate,
Speaker 1: are doing it. But like, yeah, just embrace it. Literally
Speaker 1: developed like a Tyler Dirden like alternative personality for this
Speaker 1: through the Plug Right Club. It's Mary Ann Williamson. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I think I think that's an
Speaker 1: interesting thing to keep our eye on, as like fight
Speaker 1: clubs are popping up, like the deeper we get into
Speaker 1: quarantine and like social distancing and isolation. Um, I was
Speaker 1: in a fight club when I was in high school.
Speaker 1: Were really if I'm gonna be honest, we I went
Speaker 1: to this um small high school and on Wednesdays we
Speaker 1: would start at ten o'clock instead of at eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: And we had absolutely no supervision during that time. So
Speaker 1: like in the courtyard, like a couple of us would
Speaker 1: just be like, let's just fight for like thirty seconds
Speaker 1: at a time, just like a friendly way, don't hit
Speaker 1: each other in the face. Um. It only lasted for
Speaker 1: like a couple of months, but um, that was a
Speaker 1: bonding experience, um compared to I feel like what this is,
Speaker 1: which was well, actually maybe they're both sad. Have your friendships.
Speaker 1: Have your friendships from this fight club lasted into adulthood?
Speaker 1: Do you have fight club friends from that? Just a
Speaker 1: few people? Um, and they're like really into stuff like
Speaker 1: magic the gathering. Now, so what are you gonna do? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: cards are a way to have contact with one another. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're much more brutal than um. Oh yeah, oh
Speaker 1: I'll tap, I'll tap the ship out of this man
Speaker 1: of card while I summoned Lord of the pit. Alright, guys,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break my magic. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back. And yeah, I mean, this was not
Speaker 1: a surprising story. I guess it's just surprising how out
Speaker 1: and the open it is. But uh, I think I've
Speaker 1: said it's surprising how out the open it is like
Speaker 1: a hundred times in the past couple of months. So
Speaker 1: maybe not surprising anymore. But the Georgia Secretary of State
Speaker 1: who bowed to GOP pressure and was like, final'll do
Speaker 1: a recount, um, and you know they weren't finding enough
Speaker 1: votes for Trump. Uh. And now he has come out
Speaker 1: and said that people like Lindsay Graham were basically asking
Speaker 1: him to throw away votes for Biden for with no
Speaker 1: legal justification. Yeah, it feels like that meme where like
Speaker 1: the two astronauts and they're like the rat fucking was
Speaker 1: always like it's the Republicans and then other one's behind
Speaker 1: me like it always has been with the gun Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: as much as they want to scream about this ballot
Speaker 1: fraud or this or even fucking you know Lieutenant Governor
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick and Texas being like, I will give a
Speaker 1: million dollars to someone desperate enough to fabricate us to
Speaker 1: worry about election fraud. But let's be real, it's not
Speaker 1: a million dollars. It's twenty five tho dollars. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say a million to sweeten the deal. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: up to a million, but minimum guarantee the MG on that. K. So, now,
Speaker 1: money would it take you guys to um do election
Speaker 1: fraud or fabricate a story to usher in fascism into
Speaker 1: the United States? I mean everyone has a price someone else, right,
Speaker 1: So if it's to usher and fascism to the United States,
Speaker 1: I would need thirty five grand probably, yeah, at least
Speaker 1: I mean enough to pay my mos off. I'll give
Speaker 1: it to than that. Okay, cool, Well let's talk to
Speaker 1: the competitive But yeah, so like as all these stories
Speaker 1: come out and we learn more demographically how people were voting,
Speaker 1: and like all the other ins and outs of election day,
Speaker 1: now we're hearing more about what the funk was going
Speaker 1: on in between election day and now. And yeah, Brad Rathensberger,
Speaker 1: who is the Secretary of State for Georgia, he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Um. A lot of Republicans are
Speaker 1: pressing me, including Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who is
Speaker 1: basically going around this this line down, like how how
Speaker 1: valid are these legally cast ballots that have been corrected
Speaker 1: and just like asking questions, you know, he was saying, like, yo,
Speaker 1: it was kind of weird, uh, and like inappropriate, and
Speaker 1: he said quote in their conversation, Graham questioned Raevensburger about
Speaker 1: the state's signature matching law and whether political bias could
Speaker 1: have prompted poll workers to accept ballots with non matching signatures.
Speaker 1: Graham also asked whether Raevensburger had the power to toss
Speaker 1: all male ballots in counties found to have higher rates
Speaker 1: of non matching signatures. So he said, can you straight
Speaker 1: up boot as many votes as possible? And he's like,
Speaker 1: that's actually not the courts have to do that, don't
Speaker 1: power to do that. So no, so yes, and Raefinsburger
Speaker 1: is a Republican. He's a Republican. But you guys, unless
Speaker 1: you're Chris Kobak, you know, and your Republican secretary of state,
Speaker 1: like there's some level where you do believe that, like
Speaker 1: elections are good enough or worth like not fucking with
Speaker 1: like this like they're asking him to. But I mean this,
Speaker 1: this story is just so fucked up because Lindsey Graham
Speaker 1: is from South Carolina. But what is he doing talking
Speaker 1: to him? We knew Doug Collins was, you know, hooting
Speaker 1: and holleran from his seat, So it is the secretary
Speaker 1: of state of South Carolina? Does he have something to say?
Speaker 1: As well? Who else was? Who else have these people
Speaker 1: been talking to? Right? Wait, who's Doug Collins? Is it
Speaker 1: Doug Collins? I think I just googled it because from
Speaker 1: Doug Collins I know, is uh the guy who coach
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's before he got no no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Doug Collins is dog Collins is running for senate or
Speaker 1: was running for senate and he was right now, he's
Speaker 1: a congress person from Georgia and it's not the same guy.
Speaker 1: I could look into that it might be, but I
Speaker 1: will I'll double check. I don't want to say on
Speaker 1: equivocally right now, No, col Um, I am a political expert.
Speaker 1: Feel about the guy who did in the air tonight, man,
Speaker 1: that's that's Phil Collins right right right? Who am I
Speaker 1: thinking of? Then that's your expert political insider. Take Doug
Speaker 1: Collins also the name of Michael Jordan's coach from the
Speaker 1: fair Fair Uh, And that's you can take that to
Speaker 1: the bank. I mean more than that, like I would
Speaker 1: know him more like a pundit now right, What don't
Speaker 1: you talk about Doug Collins more about being on TV
Speaker 1: than I mean, yes, he did coach Michael Jordan, but
Speaker 1: from I don't know, Yeah, I mean Collins right yeah,
Speaker 1: on a side tangent, what do people really know Doug
Speaker 1: Collins for? And also his legal name is Paul and
Speaker 1: Doug is his middle name. So yeah, some people are
Speaker 1: just so so inherent lead dougs that you just have
Speaker 1: to Yeah. They just take on the mantle of being
Speaker 1: a dog. Isn't that true? Yeah? Isn't it? Do you
Speaker 1: know Doug who feels really Dug? I know three dogs
Speaker 1: three Doug night, and they all they all they they
Speaker 1: hold down the Doug Brown, they hold down the dog brand. Well,
Speaker 1: my old roommate's name was Doug. So I don't want
Speaker 1: you to talk to any ship just in case he's listening,
Speaker 1: but it might see. Dogs are goofy, independent, independable dudes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was never talking. You know that they have a
Speaker 1: unique vibe and more in the sense that like just
Speaker 1: it's always unique to them. You're like, yeah, you are
Speaker 1: a dog, but it's nothing like there's no like set
Speaker 1: of variables or tricks to be like a dog. Is
Speaker 1: these five things. Yeah. I have a friend who had
Speaker 1: a kid, and I was trying to name him Charles,
Speaker 1: and then the government came into more like no, that's
Speaker 1: actually a Doug definite. Name them Doug, Like okay, Douglas,
Speaker 1: like we said Doug. Um. Alright, let's talk about Rudy Giuliani,
Speaker 1: who got the who gets all the good assignments? Uh
Speaker 1: from administration? Yeah? Right, oh boy? Yeah, forever changing the
Speaker 1: way men tucked their shirts in. Uh. You know, so
Speaker 1: Trump did as sign Rudy the role of spearhead. As
Speaker 1: we saw from that tweet, from all of the litigation,
Speaker 1: all of the legal battles that are happening to try
Speaker 1: and I guess, I don't know, slow crawl the eventual
Speaker 1: concession um. They tried initially to nullify like three million
Speaker 1: votes in Pennsylvania because their arguments like there are no
Speaker 1: pole observers, and then the judges like, there are no
Speaker 1: you can confirm that, and he's like, well, we know
Speaker 1: there is a non zero number of poll workers or
Speaker 1: pole observers, and they're like, what are you saying, Well,
Speaker 1: that means there are if it's non zero, and you're
Speaker 1: just being vague. Get the funk out here. So they
Speaker 1: had they've been having to pivot all these like lawsuits
Speaker 1: to then be like, now it's just boiling down to
Speaker 1: we think they made it too easy for people to
Speaker 1: correct ballots that like weren't signed properly. And even then,
Speaker 1: you've shrunk your margin down to something that isn't going
Speaker 1: to be close to, you know, closing the seventy vote
Speaker 1: gap that exists in Pennsylvania. And then the Trump campaigns
Speaker 1: going on around like, well, we that's not what happened,
Speaker 1: and they were getting really mad when people pointed out
Speaker 1: that they were paring down the scope of the lawsuit,
Speaker 1: so there's nothing of consequence in terms of reversing the
Speaker 1: results right now. Then after like a bunch of lawyers
Speaker 1: like basically said, you know, well, we're not we don't
Speaker 1: really want to represent y'all anymore. Like these doubt They've
Speaker 1: been doing this sort of merry go round of legal
Speaker 1: representations and recently they landed on Mark Scared scringe E,
Speaker 1: who is a local, uh like radio pundit and lawyer
Speaker 1: from Harrisburg, and he he was like, he's like, I'll
Speaker 1: represent y'all, Like I know what needs to be done,
Speaker 1: but I just want to play this because on his
Speaker 1: radio show on November he said this about what was
Speaker 1: going on with the Trump campaign. Yet, including Fox News,
Speaker 1: annalynced that Joe Biden has won Pennsylvania and Nevada and
Speaker 1: has now one the presidency. Joe Biden, according to the media,
Speaker 1: will be the forty six president of the United States
Speaker 1: of America. Now, I've been saying since Wednesday morning that
Speaker 1: Biden would win, and to my friends out there in
Speaker 1: the w HPI eight listening audience and on Facebook and Twitter.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, there really are no bombshells that are
Speaker 1: about to drop that will derail a Biden presidency, including
Speaker 1: these lawsuits. And and I really don't want to get
Speaker 1: into a discussion on any of these pending lawsuits filed
Speaker 1: by the Trump campaign or the state gop s and
Speaker 1: I will say that some of them have merit, certainly
Speaker 1: like the lawsuits filed by our Pennsylvania Republican Party led
Speaker 1: by our great chairman, Lawrence Tavish. Several of the other
Speaker 1: lawsuits don't seem to have much evidence of substantiating their claims,
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, in my view,
Speaker 1: the litigation will not work. So that's what they have
Speaker 1: representing them. A court is a dude who before this
Speaker 1: is like, man, they don't really have ships. I've seen this,
Speaker 1: this is, this is this is not a winner. So
Speaker 1: that I think that caused a little more chaos in
Speaker 1: Trump world and got Rudy on you know, Rudy out there.
Speaker 1: But you know, when there's a thing. A few people
Speaker 1: pointed out Rudy has not been in court, like in
Speaker 1: the capacity of an attorney since in nineteen two, and
Speaker 1: from what I'm seeing on Twitter from journalists that are
Speaker 1: in the courtroom as Rudy Giuliani is speaking on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: he is just rambling to the point that they're cringing,
Speaker 1: reporting on him, pretending to be an attorney and talking
Speaker 1: at a judge like this, I mean, trying that non
Speaker 1: zero number of poor observers is like so strange, like
Speaker 1: because the judges like saying, so, you're saying there are
Speaker 1: no pole observers there, and they said, well there is
Speaker 1: a non zero amount. It's like it's really a swing.
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, that's that's where we're at. So it's
Speaker 1: like they're just trying to save face still from when
Speaker 1: they um did a speech in the in the in
Speaker 1: an alley or whatever next to a total landscaping. Yeah,
Speaker 1: four seasons exactly. Yeah. Again, when I keep saying this,
Speaker 1: blessed the President for trusting his worst instincts time and
Speaker 1: time and again. Is to just get this fucking like
Speaker 1: idiot in there who doesn't know anything about what's going
Speaker 1: on and what the perception is of this case and
Speaker 1: how it's evolved, and how like a lot of the
Speaker 1: judges are just so like exhausted from the nonsense. Like
Speaker 1: I can believe y'all are in here for this, and
Speaker 1: I have to tell you how dumb powerful people really
Speaker 1: just stick together. And become best friend. Yeah. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you don't want you
Speaker 1: don't want anybody telling you the truth. So you just
Speaker 1: at a certain point you just need as many yes
Speaker 1: people around you, are as many people who are in
Speaker 1: on the you know, illusion, fake narrative that you're all
Speaker 1: going to live by and be like when Trump is hearing, well,
Speaker 1: these lawyers who are actually expensive, they realized what it
Speaker 1: would do to their reputations. They left. There's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a sign that you're not you don't. But Rudy's like,
Speaker 1: get me in there, man, get me in coach. I'll
Speaker 1: fucking tuck my shirt in in front of the judge
Speaker 1: and then he'll figure it out. It's like, what the funk? Man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's truly just willing to embarrass himself. He's willing to
Speaker 1: be like, um, I don't know. He feels like Cruely
Speaker 1: from like the Three Stooges, like he wasn't in the
Speaker 1: original lineup. Um, but then they kept the show going
Speaker 1: and they're not like a new dumb guy. Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 1: And then conservative Twitter is really funny because as I
Speaker 1: was saying, other people were like, this is not good.
Speaker 1: What Rudy is saying, right now, you have people like
Speaker 1: Denish de Suza who's like, I'm waiting, We're all waiting
Speaker 1: for the mother of all bombs to drop. Drop it,
Speaker 1: Sydney Powell and Rudy Julian. Have we gotten any speaking
Speaker 1: of drops, have we got any new que drops since
Speaker 1: the election? Or Q still keeping it keeping it close
Speaker 1: to the best about stands for quiet. I'm working on it,
Speaker 1: you guys, Geez. Does seem like they have a couple
Speaker 1: of things working against them because like so first of all,
Speaker 1: they started off after the election being like, we gotta
Speaker 1: find our James Baker type, which is like the sort
Speaker 1: of thing that like you work your entire political career
Speaker 1: to develop a bullpen of like these shady operators who
Speaker 1: can like steal an election. And even if they had
Speaker 1: James Baker and this instead of the leftovers after Michael Cohen,
Speaker 1: who's like an incompetent asshole, like is gone and they
Speaker 1: have the people who come in after that, Like even
Speaker 1: if they had your James Baker's of the world, like,
Speaker 1: they still wouldn't be able to like that they lost
Speaker 1: in too many different ways in too many different states,
Speaker 1: like they like even the good, the best of the best,
Speaker 1: rat fuckers would not be able to steal it. Like, yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's talk about what he's trying to do in his
Speaker 1: final days as the president, because there's a New York
Speaker 1: Times report coming out that he was basically like entertaining
Speaker 1: military strike options on Iranian nuclear facilities and that was
Speaker 1: last Thursday, as the walls were closing in, and somehow
Speaker 1: Pompeo and General Mark Millie managed to convince him that
Speaker 1: was a bad idea. But that's where his head's up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like no, no, no, They're like this is off
Speaker 1: the table. This isn't realistic, Like, you can't this, We
Speaker 1: don't have options right now because she is so tense. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's no way you can do that with our completely
Speaker 1: you know, the region going up, and I think for
Speaker 1: for those that aren't up to speed, right because it's
Speaker 1: all around the nuclear deal and all of this tension,
Speaker 1: because he's like, they've got more enrichie rating, We've got
Speaker 1: to do something, you know, sort of his motivation. So
Speaker 1: in the Obama Binning administration reached a deal with Iran
Speaker 1: about limiting its nuclear capabilities, and part of that deal
Speaker 1: was like, look, you allow outside observers to come in
Speaker 1: to monitor your progress, and we'll lift those sanctions that
Speaker 1: are literally fucking killing your country. That's that's that's the deal.
Speaker 1: Then when Trump came in, he wanted to be Bobby
Speaker 1: Badass and be like, oh, you know, I'm putting Iran
Speaker 1: on alert, on notice or whatever. I remember like one
Speaker 1: of the first things he said as president, Everyone's like,
Speaker 1: what the fund is this guy talking about, and eventually
Speaker 1: pulled out of the Iran deal without really any reason
Speaker 1: aside from like the black guy did it and I
Speaker 1: don't like it, and I'm here to reverse everything. So
Speaker 1: that's what happened. Right now, they have substantially more enriched
Speaker 1: uranium than in but it's still not enough to make
Speaker 1: a single weapon. But he's still like wants to do something,
Speaker 1: Like you can tell there's still he I think realizes
Speaker 1: he was talking a lot of ship. He would be
Speaker 1: a real hawkish about Iran, and all he managed to
Speaker 1: do was assassinate one of their military leaders, and which
Speaker 1: Iran has I think pretty much still stated that they
Speaker 1: have yet to avenge his assassination. So that's another foreign
Speaker 1: policy thing to deal with. But yeah, it would have
Speaker 1: been something too for him to just cause a full
Speaker 1: on international incident on his way out. But I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the reasoning too that was coming, or
Speaker 1: the resistance that was coming even from within his administration,
Speaker 1: is that, like, look, a lot of even the base
Speaker 1: doesn't isn't for increased military action in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: Like that's not a thing your supporters clamor clamor for
Speaker 1: let alone the fucking world. But I don't know that's
Speaker 1: These are the kinds of things that was always making
Speaker 1: me unsettled about what these last sixty three days or
Speaker 1: so we're gonna look like because he still is the
Speaker 1: president and he still can do ship like this, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, like, you know, at what point he
Speaker 1: goes like I don't give an anymore. I'm flipping the table,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like what that looks like,
Speaker 1: because this is you know, this is like one of
Speaker 1: those moments where ship could have gotten absolutely out of
Speaker 1: control very quickly. Yeah. I wonder which which one of
Speaker 1: his dictator friends he like promised to like start the
Speaker 1: rucords with UH four. I have no idea. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's interesting because it seems like his plan seems to
Speaker 1: be based totally around like which things are going to
Speaker 1: make the biggest splash in his base still, Like so
Speaker 1: bombing Iran and also like pulling the troops out was
Speaker 1: another thing that he's talking about doing, like bringing all
Speaker 1: the troops home in his last sixty three days. Uh So,
Speaker 1: it's just like there's no coherent strategy beyond just like
Speaker 1: owning the establishment. Yeah, and I mean who the foreign
Speaker 1: policies it is. It can be really tenuous, right because
Speaker 1: there's still an embassy in Baghdad and you start sucking,
Speaker 1: you know, fucking around with aggressors in that region, that
Speaker 1: becomes a target and you know you have Benghazi two
Speaker 1: point oh, which Republican. You know, like I could see
Speaker 1: them creating an environment where there's an attack on an
Speaker 1: embassy and then during the inident Biden administration like, well,
Speaker 1: what did you do to protect them? It's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, if you remember, Trump was fucking shaking that
Speaker 1: ship up on the way out, and then the lack
Speaker 1: of transitional information put people in a weird spot. I
Speaker 1: don't know, so I I I hope that these cooler
Speaker 1: heads keep prevailing. I'm really surprised Mike Pompeo was part
Speaker 1: of that group that said no, considering his like fantasies
Speaker 1: of like the end times, um, and how you kind
Speaker 1: of need all of those like all those powers in
Speaker 1: that region fighting each other. Um. But yeah, it could
Speaker 1: have been putin to who's just like not not right now?
Speaker 1: Please just I'm really really tired. I think I have
Speaker 1: to retire also, so let's just let's just make this
Speaker 1: easy for everybody. Yeah, if we heard anything else on
Speaker 1: that on putin possibly retiring, it seems like that got
Speaker 1: deaded real quick. But because he literally dead anything that
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to again, I mean, this is the
Speaker 1: thing that I feel like people have been speculating for
Speaker 1: years because like at first it was like the way
Speaker 1: he was walking, people were like, what what is that? Like,
Speaker 1: is he injured? What's going on? So who knows the
Speaker 1: way he only scored eighteen goals in that hockey exhibition
Speaker 1: with the Russian national team, people are like, oh, that's
Speaker 1: that's way down from his typical thirty three. Let's talk
Speaker 1: real quick. One thing, one thing the Biden administration will
Speaker 1: not be doing is holding the president accountable with any
Speaker 1: sorts of investigations, at least according to people familiar with
Speaker 1: Biden's thinking heading into the transition, he's thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna he's not gonna do any uh any investigations,
Speaker 1: or at least that's not going to be something he
Speaker 1: prioritizes because he just wants to move forward and take
Speaker 1: the high road directly up his own asshole. Uh is
Speaker 1: where we're headed. Yeah, it just seems like Biden wants
Speaker 1: to do the thing that is perceived as like the
Speaker 1: right thing in a bullet point statement on CNN. UM.
Speaker 1: But it like from a long term perspective, this is
Speaker 1: creating a reality where the Republican Party does not need
Speaker 1: to follow rules, and then the Democrats come in and
Speaker 1: follow rules and are just like, we gotta move forward,
Speaker 1: gotta let our nation heal from like whatever just happened,
Speaker 1: because when Obama came into office, he you know, there
Speaker 1: was all sorts of just horrifying mouthfeasance that the Bush
Speaker 1: administration had done with regards to torture and his war
Speaker 1: on terror, and the Bomb administration just moved forward and
Speaker 1: we're like, we're all that healing. We're not gonna you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: holdly to hold Trump accountable for stuff, he would have
Speaker 1: to also hold Democrats responsible for a lot of this
Speaker 1: stuff that they also do, so he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: create the slippery sloper people are wanting. Yeah, exactly. Holy
Speaker 1: sh it, it's wow. I mean could you imagine? Like
Speaker 1: how is how is there any deterrence now if you
Speaker 1: don't if you don't follow through on holding people accountable
Speaker 1: for the ship that's been going on, like especially at
Speaker 1: this level, Um, you know, it's I can't even. It's
Speaker 1: like if you're you had like a babysitter or like
Speaker 1: you know, and you they have your friends over and
Speaker 1: you fuck the house up and ship the babysit are
Speaker 1: about to be here, man, like they're gonna tell on
Speaker 1: us what the fun and they come in and they
Speaker 1: just like you're like bracing yourself for them to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm calling your parents. They're about to fuck you up.
Speaker 1: This ship is unacceptable. And the babysits comes in and goes,
Speaker 1: come on, guys, what all really? Come on? Now? You're
Speaker 1: better than this? Like, oh, I love this babysitter because
Speaker 1: every time they come through, I can funk around and
Speaker 1: they don't do ship And actually I am in control.
Speaker 1: And that's what if we're always beholding to the reactions
Speaker 1: of conservatives. There's not like that's that that power dynamic
Speaker 1: is how we're going to end up at the fucking bottom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the high road doesn't work. There's never been a time
Speaker 1: in my life where I've taken the high road and
Speaker 1: UM felt happier about it. Um, revenge is good. We
Speaker 1: should embrace revenge, um or avenging as a country. Um.
Speaker 1: I truly think that, especially if only one side is
Speaker 1: doing is like the other side is holding people accountable
Speaker 1: or at least like trying to find a way to
Speaker 1: hold people accountable using their fucking d o j is
Speaker 1: like a war hammer. And then they're like just allowed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the the in your babysitter analogy, the babysitter then tells
Speaker 1: you to go to your friend's house while they clean
Speaker 1: up your mess. And then also, do you guys want
Speaker 1: any beer while I'm at the store to getting cleaning
Speaker 1: supplies to clean up your fucking marks? Serious? Because yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, who, I can only imagine what this what
Speaker 1: some of these people in this cabinet are going to
Speaker 1: be doing, Like you know, like while while we'll get
Speaker 1: a lot of like nice optic winds or things that
Speaker 1: like we're doing this this and this, like we're also
Speaker 1: we got some really cool tax cuts coming for certain industries.
Speaker 1: You know, that's all low and you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: really look at the tax cold to figure that out
Speaker 1: or probably take you three months. But you know that's
Speaker 1: the that's the flow of things. And I really, like
Speaker 1: I said, even before in the election was happening, I
Speaker 1: have I still have so much anger about what this
Speaker 1: administration was allowed to do. Two vulnerable people in this
Speaker 1: country undisturbed, and if we don't actually show the people
Speaker 1: that were the you know, greatly affected by this admitt
Speaker 1: iustration that there is a party or people that are
Speaker 1: at the levers who are saying, you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't worry. I didn't remember. I didn't forget that ship
Speaker 1: because I got something for them too. About that, because
Speaker 1: that's not right. That's not how I want to do
Speaker 1: things that would that I think that would cause more healing.
Speaker 1: But this idea that we need to coddle people because
Speaker 1: we're afraid of, you know, holding them accountable. You're just
Speaker 1: going to be that parent who just has your kids
Speaker 1: like walking all over them, and then years down the road,
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't understand why I don't have any control,
Speaker 1: like self control. It's like it's not like I was,
Speaker 1: oh oh yeah, I was just encouraging it the whole time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's still so many like apathy minded um people that
Speaker 1: I knew that when Biden won, UM, they kind of
Speaker 1: went to this kind of like oh well, that's just
Speaker 1: how it goes at Yang's and at Yang's, like politics
Speaker 1: is always like this. I told you, I'll work out.
Speaker 1: Everything will be fine. It's just like, no, just because
Speaker 1: things don't immediately affect you, um, and you don't, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna have the cognizance to realize how bad things
Speaker 1: have gotten until you're like too old to do something about. It.
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you're some kind of brain genius. Um. And
Speaker 1: we're over reacting to things. We're not over reacting. No,
Speaker 1: we're not. America. America is a moldy loaf of bread,
Speaker 1: and right now the mold is on the black and
Speaker 1: brown parts and the crust are people on the inside
Speaker 1: their lock. I don't see mold around me. It's like,
Speaker 1: we don't worry, honey, it's coming also for you. This
Speaker 1: ship doesn't stop. Yeah, but truly, I mean like it's
Speaker 1: it really is like it's well, it's only real to
Speaker 1: me if I can see it. But trust if you
Speaker 1: if you read any amount of analysis about what the
Speaker 1: living conditions are for people in the United States, you
Speaker 1: can very clearly see there is an accelerated you know, entropy,
Speaker 1: Like it's things are rotting um and we have no
Speaker 1: we have no way to stop it unless we really
Speaker 1: actually like take ship seriously and be like, it's actually
Speaker 1: not just about what's happening to me, it's about what
Speaker 1: we the environment we're creating as a whole in the country,
Speaker 1: not just in our little fucking bubbles. The mold is coming.
Speaker 1: It's coming. Yeah, And if the Democratic Party continues to
Speaker 1: be the the party of the establishment viewpoint of like
Speaker 1: corporate media and corporate politics, which is like what they're
Speaker 1: kind of angling to be where they just uh are
Speaker 1: the establishment, that the Republican Party attacks from the outside,
Speaker 1: and then the left has to like try to work within.
Speaker 1: And I think the left is going to stop trying
Speaker 1: to work within, then like the the country is pretty
Speaker 1: fucked at the end point. Well, I think that's why
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, don't funk around, Like,
Speaker 1: don't you know if if we're putting people in office,
Speaker 1: don't funk up and just take things for granted, because
Speaker 1: at a certain point, you know, people are going to
Speaker 1: have to pack their ship and be like, well, fuck it,
Speaker 1: we don't need this. Party just would just be a
Speaker 1: fucking thorn in the side, because either way, the both
Speaker 1: sides seem to be pulling for the same class of people. Yeah.
Speaker 1: For me, like when people say that they're like, um,
Speaker 1: socially liberal, fiscally conservative, I'm just like, you mean a Democrat,
Speaker 1: just be a Democrat, right right, Yeah, yeah, socially liberal.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Brodie to your point about the people who
Speaker 1: are like, I'm so smart that I'm telling you, like,
Speaker 1: even though I believe in the same thing as you, like,
Speaker 1: I have to tell you like how to like communicate
Speaker 1: that in a way that people are going to accept.
Speaker 1: And like just speaking of like the American people as
Speaker 1: this like vague like conservative slash moderate like base of
Speaker 1: people that like you have to lie to in order
Speaker 1: to get them like on your side, I just like
Speaker 1: that drives me fucking crazy, especially as there's just more
Speaker 1: and more evidence every fucking day that that's not the case,
Speaker 1: and that the thing that the American people object to
Speaker 1: is that they're being they can tell are being lied to,
Speaker 1: and that you're just saying delight things to try and
Speaker 1: get them on your side, but then you're not willing
Speaker 1: to do the thing that would actually help them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a cynic and like I always have been. But
Speaker 1: there's there's one thing I hate is definitely that kind
Speaker 1: of like babies first, like existentialism thing where people kind
Speaker 1: of got a little bit nihilists and they think that like, well, um,
Speaker 1: politics has always been cynical. Politics has always been like me,
Speaker 1: natured um, and just like socially, people just look out
Speaker 1: for their own selves. Then I think it's really time
Speaker 1: for us as Americans like reckon that we do have
Speaker 1: a culture and our culture is so much more individualists
Speaker 1: than a lot of the rest of the country are
Speaker 1: a lot of the rest of the planet, and we
Speaker 1: could do a lot better than what we're doing right now.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But then you're gonna come up against
Speaker 1: the American ego, which goes, oh, we can do better.
Speaker 1: Are you fucking kidding me? We're not the one. We're
Speaker 1: freaking number one dude in the world. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: had a Seltzer. Okay, we can get we can do
Speaker 1: better than that. No, whatever you do, don't try to
Speaker 1: forgive people's student debt though, because that will piss my god.
Speaker 1: Don't get me don't eat and get me started. So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Molly Shannon. I'm that comedian. Now, don't get
Speaker 1: me started. Don't don't even get started, right, ladies, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I just the takes continue. I don't.
Speaker 1: I know, we didn't really plan on talking about that,
Speaker 1: but everything I'm reading is so absurd about these attacks
Speaker 1: against canceling student debt, Like, oh, man, like then no
Speaker 1: one's gonna learn how to pay their bills if you
Speaker 1: like start forgiving their debt. Ridiculous. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: People who already paid off their debt are going to
Speaker 1: be so pissed that, like these other people don't get it.
Speaker 1: It's like that is purely an abstraction like that you
Speaker 1: have put together based on like your idea that everybody
Speaker 1: is like part of this like market capitalists, like neo
Speaker 1: liberal bullshit viewpoint that like only you guys really subscribe
Speaker 1: to them, like people are just gonna be happy for
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, comes from debt holders, right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Mike Paplin tweeted yesterday. This is this isn't the tweet
Speaker 1: I was going to talk about. But um, he tweeted,
Speaker 1: let's try and make it so everyone has everything they need.
Speaker 1: And then the counterpoint was, but isn't it unfair to
Speaker 1: people who already have everything they need? I think that's like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, like the real reason canceling college that scares
Speaker 1: people is that, like America's economy is basically it depends
Speaker 1: on a series of like parasitic like a middleman industries that, um,
Speaker 1: they they're like in impeding like us being like a
Speaker 1: functional society. Man. They don't want to just like disintegrate
Speaker 1: and have us all realize that we don't need them
Speaker 1: at all. All these like insurance um, private insurance industry
Speaker 1: people um like unnecessary, Like financial services, um, they exist
Speaker 1: squeeze money from people exactly because it's because that's the deals,
Speaker 1: Like hold on, I see an opportunity to make some
Speaker 1: money there, so I'm going to do that. So now
Speaker 1: all these things that should be like rights that people have,
Speaker 1: like a right to food or housing or healthcare and education,
Speaker 1: there's always someone there to becase hold on, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on. We could be making more money off of
Speaker 1: this before we start giving this ship away for free. Now,
Speaker 1: how about we start our own college and then well,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get people to pay us a lot
Speaker 1: more money fun all this state ship. And even then
Speaker 1: we can raise the prices and the and the tuitions
Speaker 1: on that ship too. It's it is really sad to see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, like you look at any other country
Speaker 1: and people always like, what do you mean, Like it's
Speaker 1: people make money off of running a school, like a university.
Speaker 1: They're like they're wealthy, or they're like, what do you like?
Speaker 1: Doctors make like just millions and millions of dollars in
Speaker 1: some cases? What huh? These aren't rights? Oh, you guys
Speaker 1: have a fucking healthscape of a country out makes sense?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. You gotta have that threat of death looming
Speaker 1: over your head or else going to happen, debt death,
Speaker 1: not being able to afford to feed your kids, or
Speaker 1: taking what That's the thing. I think that's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons why we never tackle the unhoused crisis that
Speaker 1: we have in this country, because we need those people
Speaker 1: to let keep people bought into capitalism. What you're gonna
Speaker 1: do end up like that? Better? You damn sure you're
Speaker 1: gonna get on your bicycle and let me make all
Speaker 1: this money off of you, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like because if there wasn't we would have that would
Speaker 1: begin to show humans to same people like wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: now I don't have the same things, and that are
Speaker 1: stimulating me to keep buying into this really fucked up
Speaker 1: cycle of disempowering or giving my power away. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back. Uh. And Michael Bay's pandemic thriller Songbird, we'll
Speaker 1: hit video on demand just in time for Christmas. Uh.
Speaker 1: So that's good news for I think everybody's Christmas plans.
Speaker 1: He has a movie. Uh, it's not he didn't direct it,
Speaker 1: he just produced it. But it's kind of in keeping
Speaker 1: with his strategy of making movies about not just recent history,
Speaker 1: but like history that is still unfolding and causing conservative
Speaker 1: people to um lose their minds. That he did the
Speaker 1: Benghazi movie. Uh, and now he's doing a COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: movie while we are still in lockdown. And the whole
Speaker 1: thing is about like an evil government that is coming
Speaker 1: and like using the threat of infection to like stomp
Speaker 1: on people's rights basically and like sweep them up into
Speaker 1: Q camps, which are quarantine camps. Um. Yeah, so people
Speaker 1: are pointing out that it could be could be seen
Speaker 1: as tone deaf and insensitive and asking Michael Bay to
Speaker 1: read the room. He can't do that. He can't do
Speaker 1: any of those things. He makes movies about um with
Speaker 1: very clear villains in them, and then during making those
Speaker 1: movies still fire people for looking him in the eyes.
Speaker 1: So I think we're expecting too much. Of the movie
Speaker 1: is set in and it the lead is hot Archie
Speaker 1: from Riverdale. Okay, so that's cool. Um, but yeah, everyone
Speaker 1: is dealing with the COVID twenty three pandemic. You thought
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen was bad. No, No, it's called this one.
Speaker 1: Code is four more bro Uh, this one infects your brain.
Speaker 1: There's also like wide shots of the Santa Monica pre
Speaker 1: looking with the Ferris Wheel looking like a pizza with
Speaker 1: a couple of slices taken out of it. For some reason,
Speaker 1: I guess the bomb virus is eating our Ferris wheels
Speaker 1: or something. Well, yeah, famously people get angry at Ferris
Speaker 1: wheels when they have COVID always as well. Um, and
Speaker 1: the wild thing is that. Like, so they shot this
Speaker 1: in the quarantine like during it was the first movie
Speaker 1: to shoot in Los Angeles after lockdown. Uh, and it's
Speaker 1: just so on the nose bad. They had a hard
Speaker 1: time like getting SAG after two sign off on their plans.
Speaker 1: They made a bunch of adjustments and finally it was
Speaker 1: like they made it seem like it was gonna be
Speaker 1: super locked down and like the healthiest place that you
Speaker 1: could possibly be. Uh. And then anonymous crew members came
Speaker 1: out more like, yeah, it's not like that at all.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not safe. Nobody feels safe. It's bad. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so all right, it's not good. Please help me, please please.
Speaker 1: He has COVID twenty three vials already, he has the virus.
Speaker 1: It's not a joke, everyone, please um. Also on that
Speaker 1: side of the national mindscape, we also have Parlor making
Speaker 1: making big moves. After Biden was declared the winner, the
Speaker 1: Parlor app shot up to number one on Apple's app store. Also,
Speaker 1: there was an app called Parlor So Parlor the bad
Speaker 1: one is p A r l e er Uh. There
Speaker 1: was also an app called p A r l o
Speaker 1: R that was clearly being downloaded by people who didn't
Speaker 1: know how to spell parlor. I'm just like very confused
Speaker 1: old people. I think it might actually be pronounced parlay.
Speaker 1: They they're sticklers, if nothing else que conspiracy theorists are
Speaker 1: sticklers for French pronunciation. Um, but John Tesch, I can't
Speaker 1: keep up with all the celebrities who are like going
Speaker 1: full conservative. John Tesh apparently was trending on Twitter and
Speaker 1: not because he died, which I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people assumed it was, because he tweetd meet me over
Speaker 1: at parlor parlay dot com at John Tesh and say
Speaker 1: goodbye to viciousness and censorship. John Tesh is a patron
Speaker 1: saint of the Daily Zeitgeist for his performance his live
Speaker 1: performance of the NBA on NBC n B a n
Speaker 1: NBC theme, Oh that is that? That that my sex playlist? Now?
Speaker 1: He had like a live concert where he was like,
Speaker 1: here's an interesting one. Actually people don't know this, but
Speaker 1: I remember this is this is the actual voicemail I
Speaker 1: sent myself when I was um recording the song. And
Speaker 1: it's like him singing it like into his phone. It's
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's really out there, but when you
Speaker 1: realize it's such an aggressive nineties sounding song that yeah,
Speaker 1: it could only take someone like hold on, I gotta
Speaker 1: call my I gotta call my answering machine service now
Speaker 1: and go like it was like, okay, you really thought
Speaker 1: receiving a collect call from would you like to accept? No?
Speaker 1: Never heard of him, John, I got it and we
Speaker 1: said someone the performance is amazing though, because he like
Speaker 1: does a fake basketball dribble that proves that he has
Speaker 1: never dribble to basketball. Yeah. To the right wing, yeah,
Speaker 1: One Parlor user wrote, they're on Parlor to show the
Speaker 1: world we won't let communists steal the White House. Um.
Speaker 1: And as we learn more about Parlor, we learned how
Speaker 1: it's funded, and so there's no ads on Parley. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's actually just relying on right wing investors like Damn Ballino,
Speaker 1: all right and cool the Mercers you know him, you
Speaker 1: love them folks. Yeah, the in a parley, which is
Speaker 1: what Parlor calls its posts. Unfortunately used her with the
Speaker 1: handle Rebecca mercer Um and a yellow verified badge, so
Speaker 1: they they changed it up. It's not blue anymore, said
Speaker 1: she and John, an apparent reference reference to Parlor CEO
Speaker 1: John Matcy started Parley to provide a neutral platform for
Speaker 1: free speech as our founders intended, and that is Rebecca Mercer,
Speaker 1: so right free speech, which means still an arena that's
Speaker 1: set up by billionaires where they still control what the
Speaker 1: dialogue is. Yeah, yeah, as our founders intended. Okay that tracks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: named Parley, do you think you'll be in like fifteen years?
Speaker 1: You just like warn your your children. You're like, if
Speaker 1: you meet someone named Parley, like find out what that's
Speaker 1: about before before you bring them home. Um the yeah,
Speaker 1: like you were saying, the community guidelines are less permissive
Speaker 1: than Twitter's terms of service. Um, they over here being
Speaker 1: like it's free speech. They remove users regularly because it's
Speaker 1: a much smaller platform, so they can just like actually
Speaker 1: like look over people's posts and decide what they think
Speaker 1: about it. Can you post on it? Can I get verified?
Speaker 1: No porn, no pictures of dog ship? Uh? There is
Speaker 1: a chance that we could get verified if we just
Speaker 1: decided to go full right wing? Um oh great, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think. Oh I'm just oh, you only have to
Speaker 1: give your social Security number. Okay, that's that tricks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that they say in their
Speaker 1: terms of service. He might be asked to provide your
Speaker 1: social security number. Um. I mean if people can't even
Speaker 1: put their only fans on it, Um, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: do well. I mean, look at Tumbler. Yeah, they took
Speaker 1: their explicit content off and now no one knows what
Speaker 1: tumbler is. Um, people listening to this don't even get
Speaker 1: this joke because no one knows it isn't how far
Speaker 1: we've fallen. Yeah, um, yeah, it's they say specifically they
Speaker 1: don't tolerate hate speech, so it's just an attempt to
Speaker 1: I mean, what are they They're gonna monetize this with
Speaker 1: what my pillow guy adsly, Yeah, probably eventually adds from
Speaker 1: like the three corporations who would be interested in and
Speaker 1: and like, at some point, do any of these companies
Speaker 1: figure out that, like, man, our business is kind of
Speaker 1: tanking because we're so aligned with like this shitty right
Speaker 1: wing ideology that like we're actually putting people off from
Speaker 1: our product that isn't just you know, racists who like that.
Speaker 1: Were the one company who's willing to ignore racism publicly
Speaker 1: and privately embrace it. Yeah, I bet they are not
Speaker 1: having that conversation, would be my guess. Ah, well, good
Speaker 1: luck to them. Are the mcclasskeys on there. Are they
Speaker 1: verified yet? I almost definitely, But I actually don't know,
Speaker 1: I need Yeah, well I don't think. Well I'm surprised, like,
