Speaker 1: that's what quirk is? Yeah? Oh, I thought it was
Speaker 1: the subatomic particle. I guess I'm not looking at the spelling.

Speaker 1: Mikey actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was That was one
Speaker 1: of those pop culture references that people would always use
Speaker 1: and I just like internalized it. But I didn't know
Speaker 1: what the funk it was in reference too, because it
Speaker 1: was like a little bit before my time, I think,
Speaker 1: And I did want to just stop the podcast and
Speaker 1: let people know there are pop culture references before my time,
Speaker 1: So I don't feel old as fun. Were you were
Speaker 1: you old enough to know where's the beef? Were you

Speaker 1: and food writer. It's Catherine Spires. You inspire us. Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: Happy cork Day to you both. Thank you. We did
Speaker 1: have you on this special day because of your expertise
Speaker 1: and food and sub atomic particles. We didn't know which
Speaker 1: one it was, so we just figured, yeah, perfect, what
Speaker 1: that planning? What's court have you had? Quirk? I know
Speaker 1: you've had cork? Yeah? Actually quirk woonder quark. It used
Speaker 1: to advertise on smart Mouth, like the I bet you
Speaker 1: it's the same brand that send out that press release
Speaker 1: that you were reading from. They're wanting everyone to get
Speaker 1: into cork. For sure, it's good. It's kind of like
Speaker 1: half yogurt half sour cream. Oh perfect, That is what
Speaker 1: I think you're like for more sour creaminess in my
Speaker 1: yogurt and more yogurt nous in my sour cream. I
Speaker 1: wish this yogurt was slightly off a bit. You would
Speaker 1: make it perfect. I'm sure it's good. I'm just being
Speaker 1: wa So how have you had it? Rather than accurately
Speaker 1: describing it, like what's how have you had it? We're like, man,
Speaker 1: that's that's how good cork dish would would be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you just eat it like yogurt. Really, so
Speaker 1: I said fruit to it? Yeah, I mean, and it's
Speaker 1: some sometimes it comes with fruit. I think people make
Speaker 1: cheesecake with it a lot. You just add a bunch
Speaker 1: of sugar to it. I bet it tastes bomb Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm with that. Yeah, I feel like that's true of
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Mmmmm yeah. Yes, Catherine, there's this
Speaker 1: little prank that myself from two years ago likes to
Speaker 1: play on myself from the present. Whenever you're on where
Speaker 1: I looked back, my brain always wants to pronounce your
Speaker 1: last name Spears. And I had your name written in
Speaker 1: my notes from the last time as Catherine Spears like
Speaker 1: Brittney bitch. I wrote to myself like a just a
Speaker 1: fucking jerk, like yeah, kin keeping yourself on your toes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's what it is. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: keeping it I am mean, And I always have the
Speaker 1: habit is to always ask you, even though I'm slight,
Speaker 1: I'm all if I put money, I'd always say spires
Speaker 1: around was like, and it's all as usual. Spears or
Speaker 1: spires yeah, you entered, Miles, says Spears Spris. I said,
Speaker 1: ha ha ha, Miles. Actually you don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about it because I wrote down a note from last
Speaker 1: time and Spears like Brittney bitch, and the call got
Speaker 1: so quiet, say and You're like, yeah, dickhead. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, Katherine, We're gonna get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell
Speaker 1: our listeners a couple of things that we are talking
Speaker 1: about today. We're gonna talk about George Santos de Volder,
Speaker 1: Anthony Makato, whatever his name is. You know all the
Speaker 1: names that this man goes by. But how how long
Speaker 1: can he keep this one lie going? These many lies
Speaker 1: that are just like kind of a web. He's spending
Speaker 1: a vast web. I don't think he's going anywhere, which
Speaker 1: is so fucked up. Inspiration for the next generation of dickheads. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a famous Tesla autopilot demo video that Elon Much
Speaker 1: tweeted out six seven years ago. But I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people's self driving car enthusiasm was started or
Speaker 1: at least built on the back of this video. Is
Speaker 1: very popular. Video turns out it was misleading. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not what they said it was. So we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about that. We the New York Times, I reported this
Speaker 1: last year or the year before, but we now have
Speaker 1: a confirmation from an internal TESTLA source. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: about what what they lied about. Dolly Parton is really
Speaker 1: making that rock album like oh fuck yeah, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like a lot of covers of
Speaker 1: songs that are like the first rock songs that you
Speaker 1: find out about when you first find out about rock music.
Speaker 1: But like, I'm sure she's gonna pull it off, because
Speaker 1: she pulls everything off. But it does suggest a narrative
Speaker 1: to me where she like just found out about rock
Speaker 1: and roll when she was inducted into the Rock and
Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame, and then like this, she's like,
Speaker 1: oh okay, alright, let me do a little listening. Ah Freebird.
Speaker 1: This free Bird one is pretty good because she is
Speaker 1: covering Freebird on her album. We'll talking about what's that
Speaker 1: she gonna hit that guitar solo too? Yeah, probably that
Speaker 1: would be wild. I mean if she shredded that guitar solo,
Speaker 1: then I'd be like, just you know, we are Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were the uh, And then we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: how mountees are trash. A cab does include mountees in
Speaker 1: a major way. All of that plenty more. But first, Catherine,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guest, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history? Oh, I've been searching all the
Speaker 1: synthetic fabrics like lio cell and tent cell and stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how to least blow up
Speaker 1: the planet with my choices. So all these all these
Speaker 1: new fabrics, you know, they say they're recycled or whatever.
Speaker 1: Do you know, like the process of recycling waste so
Speaker 1: much water, it might be worse than using cotton. It's
Speaker 1: just I don't like it. I like it. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I keep doing this to myself, trying to
Speaker 1: be a conscientious consumer, and it's just killing me inside
Speaker 1: because it cannot be done. Yeah, I mean unless you
Speaker 1: go like full homespun. Yeah, but she has the time
Speaker 1: because you also live in capitalism, so you have to
Speaker 1: make money from outside the home. So yeah, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: The one recycling i've heard is good is the aluminum.
Speaker 1: That's the one that, like you, you always need to
Speaker 1: make sure you're recycling all aluminum. Everything else that's like,
Speaker 1: do they actually recycle it? Do they just send it
Speaker 1: to a pole? But I don't know that it's not
Speaker 1: paper anymore? Is you know it? What are you worried about?
Speaker 1: I'm not burning it. It's kind of like the energy,
Speaker 1: but it's too like so many things are like this
Speaker 1: thing can actually turn this other thing into a usable item,
Speaker 1: and we can produce our waste. It's like, but it
Speaker 1: needs coal to operate, and you're like what, or like
Speaker 1: it uses untold amounts of water and like yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And then I had this theory that online shopping has
Speaker 1: like precipitated, precipitated the rise in these fake fabrics because
Speaker 1: we can't feel them, and we've forgotten what clothes are
Speaker 1: supposed to feel like too, So I think we're just
Speaker 1: in a mess with with our fashions at the moment.
Speaker 1: I've noticed some websites now they take such close ups
Speaker 1: of the garment so you can get an understanding of
Speaker 1: what the fabric looks like. That's a good idea. It
Speaker 1: feels like something where people been like, hey, I thought
Speaker 1: this one was blah blah bla, and they're like, no, look,
Speaker 1: it's clearly woven. This is like cotton I don't. It
Speaker 1: looks shiny, but that's the deal. But yeah, I remember,
Speaker 1: like that was like one of the first things that
Speaker 1: like a habit I picked up from my mom when
Speaker 1: you drag me to like go to a department stores,
Speaker 1: Like she's like, yeah, this is well made. She's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is well oh, this is good good fabric.
Speaker 1: We're like words I would hear all the time. She
Speaker 1: tastes it a little bit. Oh yeah, she bite it,
Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, what do we tell you about this?
Speaker 1: She's like, let's go. But yeah, like I I realized
Speaker 1: now to your point that it's not just like yeah,
Speaker 1: it looks good and then you get it and you're
Speaker 1: like it disintegrated the second I sweated in it. It
Speaker 1: happens so often it's horrible. Yeah, I'm not the best
Speaker 1: online shopper. I keep buying dolls clothes because you keep
Speaker 1: insisting how cheap they are, and yeah, you get I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a great deal on this jacket. It's my hand. Yea,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is overrated? Deep dish pizza?
Speaker 1: Which kind did you just ask? What is that? You know?
Speaker 1: Which kind? Like? Are you coming for somebody in l A.
Speaker 1: Are you coming? Are you coming for a pizza rear
Speaker 1: right now? Are you just saying I don't do that
Speaker 1: coming right now? I am not. I am not. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It just seemed like something that I've never enjoyed. Ergo,
Speaker 1: it is overrated. Some people like it right. First of all,
Speaker 1: why do they call it pizza? That things like a casserole,
Speaker 1: maybe a pie. Stop calling it pizza. I don't like
Speaker 1: that with top Yeah yeah, I think, well, I think
Speaker 1: if you called it a casserole, that doesn't sound more appealing,
Speaker 1: but I think it would be. We're honest, it should be. Man,
Speaker 1: you ain't eating more than two of these slices? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what. Really, I've eaten half a Domino's Deep Dish.
Speaker 1: How much Massa can you eat? At one go? That's
Speaker 1: a good point because Massa that are like that's the
Speaker 1: you know, Echo Park Deep Dish pizza in l A.
Speaker 1: That ship is like a fucking brick. And when I
Speaker 1: eat it, I'm like, oh my god. Like I'd like
Speaker 1: to eat a lot of pizza is my thing with pizza,
Speaker 1: Like I want to have numerous slices and I end
Speaker 1: up just gorging myself it's it's all about the fun
Speaker 1: ways you can toss it into your mouth. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: Miles is a real showman when it comes to eating pizza. Said,
Speaker 1: I chipped my teeth. I chipped my teeth because it's
Speaker 1: pizza so fucking dense it broke my mouth. But do
Speaker 1: you now, do you hold this for Sicilian too? Like
Speaker 1: there there's a certain type of Sicilian that I like,
Speaker 1: like Prime has a good I think they call it
Speaker 1: like a Grandma piece. There's this place Bleaker Street in
Speaker 1: New York that has a really good one too that
Speaker 1: it's I think the crust is like facascio e Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's more like that's more like like a real thick
Speaker 1: crust with a little bit of toppings, right, as opposed
Speaker 1: to just like stuff on stuff on stuff on stuff. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, it's it's definitely it's not a little
Speaker 1: bit of toppings, but it's definitely no normal Yeah, the
Speaker 1: cheese is not, you know, going to affect my digestion
Speaker 1: for the next three weeks, maybe just like a week
Speaker 1: and a half. I've noticed, though, a lot of Chicagoans
Speaker 1: now are trying to basically be like stop thinking this
Speaker 1: is our pizza. You really been crust tavern style pizza,
Speaker 1: that's what the funk our pizzas. I learned this from
Speaker 1: jackies Nels Chicago, and then I started seeing it more
Speaker 1: and more, like on Twitter and like comedians who are
Speaker 1: from there who are like like, yes that we have
Speaker 1: Deep Dish, but like you want this tavern pizza and
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, the thin crust see. But then de
Speaker 1: traders would say that the tavern style is their pizza.
Speaker 1: The pizza fight is so funny to me because I
Speaker 1: think everyone's working with different terms and definitions to begin with.
Speaker 1: We're all like, we don't know what we're talking about
Speaker 1: when we're talking Detroit, like in that old oil pan
Speaker 1: style pizza though too Yeah, and that's tavern pizza, is it?
Speaker 1: Or what other people say that I have it all?
Speaker 1: Just get all Mike right now. So producer Justin is
Speaker 1: over here, and the Chicago pizza it's more like a
Speaker 1: birthday cake where you only do the deep dish once
Speaker 1: twice a year. Yeah, deep dishes a celebratory thing. It's
Speaker 1: like when you have a bunch of people Chicagoans, like
Speaker 1: true Chicagoans don't really funk with deep We're not ordering
Speaker 1: it weekly or whatever. Um, I don't ever remember using
Speaker 1: the term tavern style when I was younger. We always
Speaker 1: just used to call it thin crust pizza. But it's
Speaker 1: something you order at like it's kind of like finger
Speaker 1: food where you're at a bar and the slices are
Speaker 1: really small and they're super greasy and they're kind of thin,
Speaker 1: and there's like a hundred of them and you just
Speaker 1: him amongst a group of people. And that's what I'm
Speaker 1: used to more often. So yeah, that's mostly what we
Speaker 1: were doing ordered, thank you. It was actually started by
Speaker 1: Dominoes with their thin crust pizza. That style that you
Speaker 1: were describing, it's pretty good. What is something you think
Speaker 1: is underrated? Katherine? Lab grown diamonds. I just started learning
Speaker 1: about these, and I don't understand why everyone isn't just
Speaker 1: buying thousands of dollars worth of lab grown Oh no, okay,
Speaker 1: because that's what that's what the fucking diamond and she's doing.
Speaker 1: We are, we are ops for the diamond industry. Uh
Speaker 1: so we're gonna actually have to remove all this. What
Speaker 1: else do you think is that? Now? I'm just trying Wait,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I think you got it mixed up. You
Speaker 1: said overrated his lab grown diamonds, right, because they don't
Speaker 1: even they pale in comparison to the rich history of
Speaker 1: a child mind diamond. Yeah, yeah, it's true. We love
Speaker 1: a history, don't wait, we love a story. Worry with
Speaker 1: our diamonds. Have you seen the propaganda against it. That's
Speaker 1: the kind of ship that they're trying to say, yes,
Speaker 1: bloody history of Yes, it is incredible. And then I
Speaker 1: also heard, and I haven't verified it, but I heard that.
Speaker 1: So you know how in natural gemstones they'll be like
Speaker 1: errors in them. They call them inclusions. It's like where
Speaker 1: it's not like perfect. So I guess in lab diamonds
Speaker 1: you can supersede that because they're grown in a lab,
Speaker 1: so they can be perfect if you want them to
Speaker 1: be perfect. So now I guess the natural gem jewelers
Speaker 1: are being like, oh, only natural ones have occlusions and
Speaker 1: then marking them up for having inclusions, which used to
Speaker 1: be like a mistake diamonds, right, they used to be
Speaker 1: the thing that they would mark them down for exactly.
Speaker 1: So it's all just like a conversation that the diamond
Speaker 1: industry is having with like a bunch of guys with
Speaker 1: like jeweler loots, Jewelers loop loops Yeah, jewelers loops Yeah,
Speaker 1: just being like, okay, so I say this is bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just they're tripping all over themselves. It's it's kind
Speaker 1: of funny, but they aren't like the lab ground ones
Speaker 1: are a lot cheaper. They're not cheap, but you could
Speaker 1: get like a big old ring or something and stunt
Speaker 1: on everybody and that somebody's looking to loop and be like,
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Obviously, nobody wants VVS one or
Speaker 1: F level diamonds, which are flawless. Everyone now wants I three,
Speaker 1: the bottom run of them. I mean, you're joking, but
Speaker 1: you're a month, But that's what you're saying, basically, VVS
Speaker 1: fuck vs fuck funk all that we want eye level
Speaker 1: diamonds now, and that this yellow streak that suggests that
Speaker 1: it was left in maybe animal urine or something. And
Speaker 1: I believe there's a little bit of newsprint that's rubbed
Speaker 1: off onto this diamond. So that's that's great, that's good. Actually,
Speaker 1: we actually like very yellow diamonds that are not canary diamonds.
Speaker 1: That's what we like. That's the right thing. They need
Speaker 1: to look like an old book you opened after seventy years. Yeah. Yeah, advertising.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so funny because even like recently when
Speaker 1: I was getting engaged and stuff, and like I'm starting
Speaker 1: to familiarize myself and everything, Like, why the funk wouldn't
Speaker 1: you just what I'm sorry, what is the difference? They're like, well,
Speaker 1: it's not mine. Yeah, that's I'm trying to get away
Speaker 1: from that. Actually, so again, what is that good? Right? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: We actually so these are lab made, but we hold
Speaker 1: the laboratory scientists. First of all, we recruit very young
Speaker 1: laboratory scientists and then we hold them against their will
Speaker 1: at gunpoint while they're making them. So it's extra valuable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's an extra five thousand dollars if there's fear involved. Yes,
Speaker 1: oh wow, you want to see? Man, this there's a
Speaker 1: hack post I just found that said seven reasons and
Speaker 1: not to buy a lab GROOPI Number one. Lab run
Speaker 1: diamonds are worthless. Okay, great, wait, but they're worthless. So
Speaker 1: that's that sounds like cheap to me. They're like, it's
Speaker 1: once it's made, it's about less than the price of
Speaker 1: a natural mind diamond. And yeah, and also they just
Speaker 1: contradicted themselves because that's not worthless less. It's still a
Speaker 1: chunk of change, right, and then they're worthless. Just feel
Speaker 1: yeah that that feels like it's some diamond shop owner
Speaker 1: like worthless. Bring over here. All the arguments are so
Speaker 1: bad that another one's like they're bad for the environment
Speaker 1: because you've got to use electricity. Okay, but then people
Speaker 1: are like people are using renewable energy to like whatever.
Speaker 1: Also ton of water three whatever, no number three. Lab
Speaker 1: diamonds ain't real diamonds. Who gives a fuck asshole? They're
Speaker 1: they're fucking they're like down to the cellular level, the
Speaker 1: exact same fucking thing. The process is just different. Like
Speaker 1: what isn't the process the exact same just sped up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like massive amounts of pressures. They know, they know
Speaker 1: they we got the recipe to make them. They're just
Speaker 1: doing it outside of you know, the middle of Africa
Speaker 1: where they don't have to brutalize people to be like
Speaker 1: the Jabers family needs more rivers. And another one, you
Speaker 1: can't get lab grown diamonds appraised. A diamond is a
Speaker 1: diamond is a diamond? No? Come on, this is you
Speaker 1: can't get them appraised? Why because like all the appraisers
Speaker 1: have just been like, nope, we're not we won't even
Speaker 1: look at that piece. You can only buy small. You
Speaker 1: can only buy small lab grown diamonds. Okay, there, then
Speaker 1: they're expensive, right, I mean, but they're also worthless. All
Speaker 1: of these haven't implied. Probably after them, you can't probably
Speaker 1: get like a big one either. Probably. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: truly Mom's going to find out what? Find out? What?
Speaker 1: When I tell her, She's not gonna be very happy. Okay,
Speaker 1: who is this a down and out diamond dealer? And
Speaker 1: and the next thing to fall so diamond industry first,
Speaker 1: and then sneakers, Yeah, yeah, I mean lab grown sneakers,
Speaker 1: anything more, finding them in the wild. Anything that takes
Speaker 1: the fucking teeth out of luxury goods, I'm all for it.
Speaker 1: Like anything that anything that upsets somebody who defines their
Speaker 1: lifestyle or level of well being based on the amount
Speaker 1: of goods they can afford or the type of goods
Speaker 1: they can afford, take that away. We don't need that.
Speaker 1: Like that's it's so funny when you see, especially like
Speaker 1: with like replica of fashion, people like now like they
Speaker 1: can buy knockoffs in China real easy on the Internet
Speaker 1: and they pull up with like almost you know, nearly
Speaker 1: one to one looking garments every Yeah, but that's fake,
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, I guess what, asshole, you're mad
Speaker 1: because you don't like because it's all built on this
Speaker 1: idea of like, well, some people shouldn't have access to
Speaker 1: some things, and that's how I feel good about myself up, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I do know there's like a lot ethnically wrong
Speaker 1: with fast fashion, but I think, yeah, I think the
Speaker 1: fact that like the ethical problems with that get called
Speaker 1: out and not like any ethical problems with high fashion
Speaker 1: probably has to do with the fact that they're what
Speaker 1: they're better fund there is an established order in place
Speaker 1: that is trying to protect its Yeah, because you see
Speaker 1: you see advertisements are like you wouldn't bio fake, Rolex,
Speaker 1: would you like yes, yes, yeah, I'm sorry you want
Speaker 1: to spend on a wrist metal? Yeah? All right, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and then we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: new spiritual leader of this movement of you know what nothing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: raudulent is cool now thanks to our new king, George Santos.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back and we're back, and i'd say
Speaker 1: this story is back in the headlines, but it's just
Speaker 1: kind of staying there. George Santos, the GOP politician representative
Speaker 1: in the House who got successfully elected and then just
Speaker 1: like turned out like might not even be his real name,
Speaker 1: or yeah, so we we have more details. He lied
Speaker 1: about the colleges he went to. He lied about the
Speaker 1: investment firms he worked for. He lied that his company
Speaker 1: had like some investment firm that was like managing like
Speaker 1: a billion dollar portfolio. Lies, he had a nonprofit lies
Speaker 1: there couldn't find a sink, They couldn't like his fucking
Speaker 1: name wasn't even real. Like he goes by Anthony Devolder.
Speaker 1: He was going by Anthony de Volder before he became
Speaker 1: George Santos, and prior to that he has all these
Speaker 1: like he's wanted in Brazil for like swindling an old
Speaker 1: man's check book and writing himself checks. It's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: But anyway, now George Santos or Anthony Devolder or Captain
Speaker 1: Marvel or whatever he's going by, or I guess in
Speaker 1: this case, he's Anthony Zabrovsky. And when I tell you, wait,
Speaker 1: why why is he Anthony Zabrovski. Well, allow his former
Speaker 1: roommate to just enlighten you onto why he had, you know,
Speaker 1: this specific name. How long did you actually live together?
Speaker 1: We were only were mats for a few months. And
Speaker 1: I also knew him as Anthony Zebrovski, so you knew
Speaker 1: him he was. Why did say he had two names? Then?
Speaker 1: Well he he used the Browski for his Friends of
Speaker 1: Pats United, Um let's go fund me and he would say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know that the Jews will give more if you're
Speaker 1: a Jew, and so that's the name of us. So
Speaker 1: that's where that's where we're lead. That's where we're starting
Speaker 1: off today with the George Santos saga. Again, Remember he
Speaker 1: also said he was Jewish and and then that was
Speaker 1: also a lie when he was like, yeah, my family
Speaker 1: they were fleeing like the pogroms, you know, and like
Speaker 1: you're like, I can't, we can't find anything that's even
Speaker 1: close to that. So look, he's a shape shifter and
Speaker 1: in this case, he's you know, uh, using using this
Speaker 1: like go fund me scam that he likes to go with.
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this Friends of Pets United charity
Speaker 1: that he has. But this is what's this is what's
Speaker 1: sort of going on right now. The biggest thing that's
Speaker 1: come out now is we found out that through that charity,
Speaker 1: this guy is screwed over a sick dog in a
Speaker 1: disabled veteran. So there was a disabled Navy vet named
Speaker 1: Richard austav who was living like he was unhoused, living
Speaker 1: in a tent, and he had his service dog, Sapphire,
Speaker 1: who had like you know, he received from a charity
Speaker 1: organization because he needed a service animal, but that dog
Speaker 1: had a life threatening tumor that needed to be removed.
Speaker 1: He had no idea what to do because the situation
Speaker 1: was so dire, and another another person he knows, said,
Speaker 1: I think I can connect you with somebody who could
Speaker 1: get you to a pet charity to get you know,
Speaker 1: the operation or procedure the dog needs. This is where
Speaker 1: Santos comes in. His like Friends of Pets United, which
Speaker 1: again is not an actual five oh one c three
Speaker 1: nonprofit organization, claimed that they could raise the funds to
Speaker 1: get Sapphire the procedures she desperately needed. So he put
Speaker 1: up a go fund me with that you know, spurious name,
Speaker 1: and they successfully raised the three thousand dollars that was
Speaker 1: needed to help the dog. Oh wait, but he's a
Speaker 1: stinking pile of ship. So he absconded with the money
Speaker 1: and ghosted the funk out of this man and ast
Speaker 1: off this The veteran said he was in such despair
Speaker 1: he didn't know if he could live any longer. He
Speaker 1: was had some really dark ideation and then he realized
Speaker 1: he did not want to abandon the dog, and that
Speaker 1: was the only thing keeping him going. Eventually, the dog
Speaker 1: had to be euthanized. And this was the quote that
Speaker 1: this guy said, we talked about much. He loved the
Speaker 1: dog quote. I love that dog so much. I inhaled
Speaker 1: her last breaths when I had her euthanized. So that's
Speaker 1: this is the kind of you know, this is This
Speaker 1: is like low hanging fruit to this con man who's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna I'll use this guy
Speaker 1: in this situation to take my three thousand dollars. And
Speaker 1: when Santos Devolder, Hermianee or whatever was reached for comment,
Speaker 1: he said it was all it's all fake that you
Speaker 1: can't prove anything, but they have text messages that clearly
Speaker 1: show Devolder, Santos Ficario or whatever his name is, telling
Speaker 1: austuff that the dog was not a candidate for the surgery,
Speaker 1: so the money would go to the next animal, a
Speaker 1: k A. His bills. Oh not to be like such
Speaker 1: a white person, but can we just kill him for that?
Speaker 1: I was actually gonna put a joke in there about him, like,
Speaker 1: and I know this is gonna resonate with white people
Speaker 1: because dogs human beings is one thing. But man, you
Speaker 1: hear about a puppy meal mill or some ship y'all organized, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm done with him. That's it. Last. That's that's why
Speaker 1: I included that sentence about inhaling the last breaths, because
Speaker 1: that's like, I mean, anybody who's had to euthanize an animal,
Speaker 1: that is fucking harrowing, especially when it's up an animal
Speaker 1: you've like, you know, you have grown to love over
Speaker 1: many many years. But anyway, the GOP is seems like
Speaker 1: they are absolutely have no intention of doing anything right now.
Speaker 1: Like McCarthy just gave Santos a bunch of committee assignments.
Speaker 1: He's going to be on the Small Business Committee and
Speaker 1: the House Science, Space and Technology Committee what so there's that,
Speaker 1: But it is interesting to just see like what this
Speaker 1: is going to the momentum that carries on from having
Speaker 1: somebody who's this you know, fucking foul on on his
Speaker 1: on the surface, and many other people are just as
Speaker 1: bad as he is, but like on the surface, like
Speaker 1: this transparently, you know, insincere, but you know it's weird
Speaker 1: to me because I'm I'm not a rich person, but
Speaker 1: even I know that three thousand dollars is a pathetic
Speaker 1: amount of money to steal, Like what, what's the what
Speaker 1: is that? That's a month maybe two. That's always something
Speaker 1: that pops up in my head whenever you're reading about
Speaker 1: this ship, Like we were talking about the Murdoch the
Speaker 1: Murdoch Murdoch murders, like the guy who like killed his
Speaker 1: might allegedly killed his son and wife and is going
Speaker 1: on trial, and like was had this like long history
Speaker 1: of siphoning money from payouts to people who needed the money.
Speaker 1: And there there are some points in there where it's
Speaker 1: like small amounts of money and this person is a
Speaker 1: multi multimillionaire, but like that never seems to factor in.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, yeah, I got to be a multi
Speaker 1: multi millionaire because of how much I like money, and
Speaker 1: that is not changing the more money I get. It
Speaker 1: turns out, did any of you grow up with friends
Speaker 1: that loved to steal ship? Yeah, yeah, you know, like
Speaker 1: I've I grew up with people like that, and some
Speaker 1: of them they don't give a fuck what it is.
Speaker 1: It's just the fact that they can come up, which
Speaker 1: is the thrill, Like anything's that come up. They're like, yo,
Speaker 1: I just got this. I got this butterfly earrings from Claire's.
Speaker 1: I'm like, the funk are you gonna do with that?
Speaker 1: It's like they didn't see me take that ship. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this doesn't even make sense, Like I think on some level,
Speaker 1: some people like it's a compulsion where it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, this is easy. That's three that's three
Speaker 1: grand right there. Oh this person, that's that, that's this,
Speaker 1: that's this, And it's probably like a video game. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you fight the big boss level characters and that's a
Speaker 1: big payday. But sometimes just jump on the little mushroom,
Speaker 1: look at motherfucker's and keep it moving. That's interesting. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm just just some I don't know that's
Speaker 1: something I stopped from my experience, or to your point,
Speaker 1: you're like, why that doesn't even make sense to even
Speaker 1: take like you have money and you don't need this thing.
Speaker 1: But it's like, no, that's the fact that I could. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I suppose. So this guy, this Santos, he seems like
Speaker 1: really old timey to me. There's something old timy about
Speaker 1: his stands, like he's a little confused, like giving people
Speaker 1: the wrong name worked a hundred and thirty years ago,
Speaker 1: giving people the wrong name, and then like becoming a
Speaker 1: public figure, like is this modern world is just so brazen?
Speaker 1: And yes, it does suggest an out of controlledness, like
Speaker 1: a an inability to even like look one step down
Speaker 1: the road, let alone like two three at the consequences
Speaker 1: of your actions. There was a really interesting clip of
Speaker 1: like I think it was Anthony, Like he was at
Speaker 1: some like Republican meeting and the guy introducing him he's
Speaker 1: like George Santos. He's like, I mean I know him
Speaker 1: as Anthony Devolder, but all right, uh George, and like
Speaker 1: and then brought him up still and even like I
Speaker 1: was like, bro, I thought you were Anthony, Okay, this
Speaker 1: George Santos, And they kept it moving because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's all about powers. Why McCarthy
Speaker 1: is not gonna do anything he needs asses in the
Speaker 1: seats on these committees and who cares if some guy
Speaker 1: who you quite literally don't even know like who or
Speaker 1: what he's about, is representing you. But yeah, this is
Speaker 1: all I can like again, can you imagine the people
Speaker 1: that see this and like I'm a better liar than
Speaker 1: this asshole? Yeah, it must be so demoralizing for them
Speaker 1: or they're like, shit, I could be a senator? What
Speaker 1: the fund is this? Like, I do have to say,
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that it's okay for the veteran
Speaker 1: to say he inhaled his dog's last breath. But when
Speaker 1: I tell you, Miles that if you go before me,
Speaker 1: I want to inhale your last breath into my lungs,
Speaker 1: that it's like weird and has to be removed from
Speaker 1: the show. Well, it's that because you're probably going to
Speaker 1: force her majesty out of the room where it was
Speaker 1: happening to be like, I'm gonna inhale his last breaths,
Speaker 1: not the wife. I just think it's a beautiful metaphor
Speaker 1: I know. And that ship, Honestly, that ship sucked me up.
Speaker 1: When I read that. That chilled me to my core
Speaker 1: because I remember, man, I had to put my Dalmatian
Speaker 1: down when I was like sixteen, and it's a dog.
Speaker 1: There's like the first dog I ever had, Like I was,
Speaker 1: it was like that dog when you're kid like I
Speaker 1: want to pup, you want to pup, you want a puppy,
Speaker 1: and then you get your puppy and then that ship
Speaker 1: only went about like ten years, eleven years, and putting
Speaker 1: euthanizing was like I'm still like, it's like the worst
Speaker 1: one of it was just so harrowing to watch your
Speaker 1: dog like quite just watch the like life go out.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's very difficult. Yeah, no, it doesn't. Yeah
Speaker 1: I did. I was at work with you guys, Miles
Speaker 1: in the office when her dog Finn like had to
Speaker 1: be euthanized unexpectedly, and like I was on FaceTime. I
Speaker 1: came out. I was just like I was like bawling,
Speaker 1: you know, I know, and and I think we're all like, dude,
Speaker 1: don't come in bro, you know, well I didn't know
Speaker 1: that that's what was that like it he had been
Speaker 1: to the vet, like, oh, you know what I think
Speaker 1: times I think what I'm revealing is something I was
Speaker 1: telling Anna on the side, I'm like he should he
Speaker 1: should go man, he going through it right now, and
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, she al must go on.
Speaker 1: Then I just wept through that episode. Yeaheah. People don't
Speaker 1: even know. I mean, try and look back maybe'll. I mean,
Speaker 1: to be fair, we sound like we're weeping or something
Speaker 1: going on emotionally in most episode. Yeah, alright, let's talk
Speaker 1: about autopilot. Tesla's autopilot demo that I think gave the
Speaker 1: world a lot of faith in self driving cars, that
Speaker 1: they're just around the corner was actually faked, so a
Speaker 1: couple of things were happening. I'll just play this in
Speaker 1: the background so people, yeah, well, we'll, we'll, we'll be
Speaker 1: playing it. But it's the video where the car is
Speaker 1: navigating a real road, nobody's touching anything. That just pulls
Speaker 1: up somewhere parallel parks, which we do know that cars
Speaker 1: have been able to do. But Elon Musk was like,
Speaker 1: the person is only there for legal reasons, Like this
Speaker 1: car was completely driving itself. But they had made a detailed,
Speaker 1: three D mapped model of the route that the car
Speaker 1: had taken and pre programmed it too, you know, follow
Speaker 1: this path and you know it make sure that nothing
Speaker 1: unexpected was going to happen, and somebody was that the
Speaker 1: car did not have the ability to deal with traffic lights,
Speaker 1: so somebody was having to do the acceleration and deceleration
Speaker 1: around traffic lights, which they didn't mention. And that's kind
Speaker 1: of a that's kind of a big one since they
Speaker 1: still haven't really figured that one out. Yeah, like just
Speaker 1: satisfactory degree or that video we saw of like the
Speaker 1: one like stopping and like I think that like one
Speaker 1: of the Bay Bridge or something in San Francisco caused
Speaker 1: a pile up and you're like, yeah, that should works. Huh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So what they did was this a video that they
Speaker 1: made for consumers or investors or both. It was the
Speaker 1: the Tesla website. Yeah, so anybody, I must tweeted it
Speaker 1: out and said this is this is real. This is
Speaker 1: a car driving by itself. The person is only there
Speaker 1: for legal reasons. But so they faked the results of
Speaker 1: what their products can do. So that's what the haters
Speaker 1: are saying. But in reality, what they were doing was
Speaker 1: showing what was possible to build the system. So even
Speaker 1: that like best case, brightest book scenario is still exactly
Speaker 1: what Sarino has got in trouble for doing this. It
Speaker 1: is like my ultimate point all the time. If Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Holmes has to go to jail, they all got to
Speaker 1: go to jail. They all do the exact same stuff.
Speaker 1: She just was a woman doing it. That's so wild
Speaker 1: that like with white supremacy, like misogyny still is a factor.
Speaker 1: Is that like white won't always protect you exactly. Men
Speaker 1: are good. Look at Elizabeth Holmes is ass but this
Speaker 1: guy out here being like, I'm just trying to show
Speaker 1: you what I think this ship could too, and I'm
Speaker 1: dreaming it. Yeah, she was in the medical industry, so
Speaker 1: people worry about the deaths caused by her product, which
Speaker 1: didn't ever happen. This guy like Tesla's have caused actual deaths.
Speaker 1: Like he's doing more danger. Why isn't he and jail?
Speaker 1: I know why he's not in jail. But I just
Speaker 1: I've got to think about Elizabeth Holmes. I think she
Speaker 1: did almost nothing wrong and she's not good to jail, right, Hey,
Speaker 1: she's confident, you know what I mean, He's confident like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean to your point, he should be all or not. Katherine, Like,
Speaker 1: if we're throwing her that every other Holmes I and motherfucker,
Speaker 1: it's we gotta follow the by the letter, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you. This quote that they were you know, they
Speaker 1: weren't cheating on the math tests, they were doing something
Speaker 1: to represent their mathematical potential actually actually came from a
Speaker 1: Tesla employee, like somebody who you know, was working on
Speaker 1: the project had information about what was going on. They
Speaker 1: couldn't remember, gosh my damn memory, couldn't remember if the
Speaker 1: person in the driver's seat was the one who actually
Speaker 1: controlled any acceleration or breaking or if the car did it.
Speaker 1: But that's a pretty important component of driving. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: up there. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, I think it is
Speaker 1: wild because this is like, this is someone from Tesla
Speaker 1: versus everybody from the outside who was being like this
Speaker 1: is They're like, this thing is rife with problems there
Speaker 1: probably bullshit, but it was always able to be like, well,
Speaker 1: you're not in there, so what do you know? And
Speaker 1: they're backing away from this world of the Iron Man
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is Tony Stark world where technology, through technology
Speaker 1: all is possible, into into a world where it's like
Speaker 1: the self driving technology that everyone thinks is just around
Speaker 1: the corner turns out is much further off and a
Speaker 1: lot of people think they should actually abandon it because
Speaker 1: the road is a crazy, unpredictable place at all times.
Speaker 1: And like these motherfuckers still don't seem to be good
Speaker 1: with traffic lights, Like that is a light that is
Speaker 1: always in the same place. It's one of three colors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they had to create a fake video to pretend otherwise,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Someday a driver list Tesla is
Speaker 1: going to crash into a driver Tesla and kill the
Speaker 1: driver and then the Tesla fans won't know what to
Speaker 1: do with themselves. Yeah, they'll just hold water for Tesla.
Speaker 1: I think whatever they'll find, they won't know until Tesla
Speaker 1: issues a statement and then they'll be like, Ah, that's
Speaker 1: that's actually do that. That's the other thing that you
Speaker 1: always here for the fans Like, dude the board force
Speaker 1: his hand on that one man, so how he really thinks?
Speaker 1: You know? This is a This is a true story.
Speaker 1: A Friday night, I had just gone to bed. I
Speaker 1: woke up because I heard what sounded like a car
Speaker 1: crashing into a bunch of car garbage cans and went
Speaker 1: outside to see if anyone needed an ambulance. It was
Speaker 1: actually a car that had driven into my neighbor's house
Speaker 1: and yeah, and it was a Tesla and a lot
Speaker 1: of horrible things happened like at that moment, and then
Speaker 1: he like backed out and ran over a person. It
Speaker 1: was chaos. But through this all I was like, of
Speaker 1: course it's a tesla. My friend saw this on the news,
Speaker 1: didn't know I was there, and I texted her about
Speaker 1: it and she's like, oh my god, of course it
Speaker 1: was a tesla. They have like there's something going on
Speaker 1: with tesla drivers. Over all, there's like a problem here.
Speaker 1: I know what confirmation biases, but like even within that,
Speaker 1: like you're right, that's right, that's right. Yeah, that's science.
Speaker 1: I believe. I think we can say that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know there's so many people that I like, like
Speaker 1: kids I went to high school with the like I
Speaker 1: follow like loosely on social media or something where there's
Speaker 1: one guy I know as a tesla and he's like
Speaker 1: the biggest fucking nerd about it, and he's like like
Speaker 1: eating and it's on auto like just always wants it
Speaker 1: to be on autopilot. And I'm like, you know, your
Speaker 1: obituary may show up eventually, but like they're there's such
Speaker 1: a culture of people just stutting on the autopilot that
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I wonder what the real numbers look
Speaker 1: like with horrific accidents. Seriously, Yeah, and it is just
Speaker 1: I don't know. Another another thing, like I think the
Speaker 1: future is not all these things that we think are
Speaker 1: gonna have, like self driving technology and stuff like I
Speaker 1: think what I realized the longer, like we try stuff
Speaker 1: like this is that like the human mind is incredible
Speaker 1: and vast, and like we only have a small inkling
Speaker 1: of understanding of like how powerful it is. Like these
Speaker 1: articles are always like, yeah, you don't want to trust
Speaker 1: the computer, but you want to trust humans. They're idiots,
Speaker 1: they mess up all the time, and that that's true,
Speaker 1: but it's like you you haven't like even come close
Speaker 1: to approaching like just all the ship that is happening
Speaker 1: driving is crazy, Like it's crazy that we're able to
Speaker 1: just drive and not really think about it that much.
Speaker 1: Like no, no, it makes no sense. It's too much
Speaker 1: power from one person. Also, I thought that all the
Speaker 1: type of guys who would be obsessed with Tesla would
Speaker 1: have also seen the movie two thousand one in Space
Speaker 1: Odyssey where the computer turns evil. So don't they know
Speaker 1: that the computers hate us. No, no, no, what's that?
Speaker 1: They were like, we're a team. How Actually it was
Speaker 1: actually shipping how and the alien species, but they were
Speaker 1: tuning and a little disappointed. I thought that was the
Speaker 1: inherent tragedy of that movie. My biggest sci fi bays
Speaker 1: How and skye At love them together. That's right, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And
Speaker 1: we're back, And Dolly Parton is trending as per usual,
Speaker 1: but this time a couple of reasons. She's expanding her
Speaker 1: partnership with Duncan Hines. So in addition to the Dolly
Speaker 1: Parton cake mixes, now there's cornbread, biscuit and to brownie mixes. Nice. Nice, nice.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I guess I'm not familiar
Speaker 1: with the culinary aspects of Dolly Parton's legend. Are are you, Catherine?
Speaker 1: What what does that? What does Dolly Parton connote like
Speaker 1: southern southern cooking? Yeah, I mean that's got to be
Speaker 1: why they have Did you say to cornbreads to brownies? Actually?
Speaker 1: And did I hear that correctly? Was that too and bread? Indeed?
Speaker 1: It was? Anyway? Yeah, I don't think her her legacy
Speaker 1: really has much to do with food, but putting her
Speaker 1: name on box mixes sounds like a smart idea for
Speaker 1: both parties because everyone loves Dolly. Oh my god. They
Speaker 1: look at the box. That's like Barbie branding. I know,
Speaker 1: it looks they've animated her. The script is very barbiesque.
Speaker 1: It's a little infantilizing. She looks like JM and the
Speaker 1: Holy Jam in the hologram. Yeah yeah, oh sorry, not
Speaker 1: to cornbread, cornbread and a biscuit. Yeah, bad bread, a
Speaker 1: biscuit and two brownies. That's in addition to the cake
Speaker 1: mixes that were already there. I'm picturing everything being pink,
Speaker 1: and indeed the boxes are pink, but the brownies they've
Speaker 1: decided to keep a colored How different is this from
Speaker 1: other Duncan Hinds mixes? Oh please, you known to be
Speaker 1: the exact same thing, just with new packaging on it.
Speaker 1: Just But the reason why it's good for her too,
Speaker 1: it's because there's no downside because box mixes are very
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, they they're unfunk up bowl if you
Speaker 1: if you go by the letter of the lawn, it
Speaker 1: is what capitalism has produced. Like we you know, the
Speaker 1: none of the you know, transportation and all those things
Speaker 1: like great towns that we were promised. They fucked all
Speaker 1: that up. We now live siloed off in our homes,
Speaker 1: like talking to each other through computer screens. But the
Speaker 1: lab food, the food that they came up with in labs,
Speaker 1: nacho cheese, doritos, the box mixes like that is that
Speaker 1: is the height of capitalism. That's why I still stand
Speaker 1: by you know, one of the things that is going
Speaker 1: to be in the America like Peak American Capitalism section
Speaker 1: of the museum, like four thousand years from now, if
Speaker 1: the Earth still exists, is the Cheesecake Factory menu, because
Speaker 1: that was like, like, we did that, We did that.
Speaker 1: It really did not funk around when it came to
Speaker 1: appropriating and turning sweet at any anything that humanity headed.
Speaker 1: But we digress, We digress album. Yeah, but it is
Speaker 1: true that our best scientific minds are in food labs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're doing the best work there because those are
Speaker 1: the places that can afford to pay the best and yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's the most those are the most pressing issues
Speaker 1: of our time obviously. So in addition to this exciting
Speaker 1: new collaboration with Duncan Hinds Dolly announced more details about
Speaker 1: her upcoming rock record, so we talked about the story
Speaker 1: that she was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame withdrew her name from the nominations because she
Speaker 1: didn't consider herself a rock act. They were eventually just like, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 1: we're doing this one way or another. You can show
Speaker 1: up or not. And she said at the time she
Speaker 1: was inspired to one day put out a hopefully great
Speaker 1: rock and roll album, and the details are starting to emerge.
Speaker 1: She got right right to work on it, and it's
Speaker 1: like all it's her. She's treating it like a greatest
Speaker 1: hits album of rock music. She's going to be covering
Speaker 1: Purple Rain, Stairway to Heaven, and Freebird, among others. Yeah,
Speaker 1: She's like, those are good, but I have notes like
Speaker 1: the big swing, that's a big yeah. You sure you
Speaker 1: want to go for a Purple Rain, Dolly? I mean,
Speaker 1: I fun with you. Let's not like, you know, we
Speaker 1: can all we can all be great in our own ways,
Speaker 1: but I am interested. I mean part of me when
Speaker 1: I heard that, I'm like, what, like, what's the most
Speaker 1: rock Dolly parton could sound? You know? And I feel
Speaker 1: like heart kind of vibes like like I would love
Speaker 1: to hear something like crazy on you or something like that.
Speaker 1: That would be fucking wild. But again, but part of
Speaker 1: me is like, fuck it, let's let's see fucking free
Speaker 1: bird do Dolly Parton's free Bird. Yeah, there's also gonna
Speaker 1: be guests such as Stevie Nicks, johnp Forward, Steven Tyler,
Speaker 1: and Paul McCartney. Oh that's it, that's all she could get.
Speaker 1: She's just having a nice time. This is just for
Speaker 1: her to, you know, funk around a little in the
Speaker 1: studio with some pals, right, or is this her like
Speaker 1: also being like ship man, I'm I'm probably making the
Speaker 1: most money I ever had now, like somehow now because
Speaker 1: all of these like deals and like collaborations she's doing.
Speaker 1: I wonder if because she seems so charitable, she's like,
Speaker 1: funck it, man, let me let me ring out the
Speaker 1: fucking sponge that is my brand for every cent, so
Speaker 1: I can go on and do some ship with it
Speaker 1: on the way out and be more philanthropic. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that idea. Let's go with
Speaker 1: that because it's so nice, Or she's like, no, motherfucker's
Speaker 1: I have a rocket and I'm the funk out of here.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, y'all. Yeah, it is like that. I did
Speaker 1: have that question when we're talking about George Sanson, was
Speaker 1: like the just the the willingness to change your name,
Speaker 1: like just use a different name with different people, just
Speaker 1: not just completely create your life, like if used for good,
Speaker 1: that could be interesting, and like, I guess there are
Speaker 1: there are people who are you know, equally in INTIV
Speaker 1: who who do use it for good Allah Dolly Parton,
Speaker 1: but it is. She's also going to do a duet
Speaker 1: cover of I Can't Get No Satisfaction in case the
Speaker 1: previous three songs were not clear enough that it's just
Speaker 1: the most played songs on classic rock radio. So I
Speaker 1: do I have to wonder, like I want to hear
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes of her process for making this
Speaker 1: album and was she just here like she just like
Speaker 1: doesn't really funk with rock music. She's like, all right,
Speaker 1: bring me, bring me the best ones, right, I guess,
Speaker 1: And then it's just going through and she's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: get the lots Stacks, but get the Stacks band from
Speaker 1: that record. I'm like, they're all dead man. They could
Speaker 1: play though, who else? Who else? Do I remember? Jimmy Hendrix,
Speaker 1: what's he up to? More bad news? Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: more bad news, more bad news. Dolly's sorry about that? Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of sorry sorry cruise. So we have some bad
Speaker 1: news for Jeopardy because so there there's a little controversy
Speaker 1: around Celebrity Jeopardy, which our writer Jam called the t
Speaker 1: ball of the game show World fair. It's still so
Speaker 1: like the the wolf Blitzer Andy Richter episode. Have you
Speaker 1: guys seen that one? Or like seeing the highlights of
Speaker 1: that Andy Richter is brilliant or you know, just like
Speaker 1: Nat mowing the questions down one after another is like,
Speaker 1: you know, four times ahead of the next closest, and
Speaker 1: wolf Blitzer is revealed to be a full fledged dummy,
Speaker 1: like oh, prompt reader, no facts in that brain, no facts,
Speaker 1: not the first fact in the brain, and missing like
Speaker 1: the easy ones with comically bad answers. It's really key
Speaker 1: and Mr not Mr Incredible that's from the Pixar movie.
Speaker 1: But what's what's the guy from Shark Tank, which one
Speaker 1: Mr Wonderful or Mr you know what I mean, the
Speaker 1: guy who got scammed but wonderful he was also like
Speaker 1: just comically bad. And that's that's what I look for
Speaker 1: in Celebrity Jeopardy is like just these exposures of of
Speaker 1: people who you know, through marketing have elevated this this
Speaker 1: image of themselves and then go up there and just
Speaker 1: can't can't get anything. But some of these questions, I'm
Speaker 1: like this episode like upset, even like the Massholes because
Speaker 1: mass Live was like there were Massachusetts related questions and
Speaker 1: no one could even answer those. This is the one
Speaker 1: the Patton Oswald park the episode that pissed people off.
Speaker 1: Patton Oswald Kansas Parker w n B, a star, great
Speaker 1: NBA commentator, just basketball commentator in general. And then Tory
Speaker 1: de Vito funked up in the question about Field of Dreams.
Speaker 1: I guess it's easy, Like I think I knew it,
Speaker 1: like I guessed the right answer, but I wasn't like
Speaker 1: confident in my guests here, I'll do it for you guys.
Speaker 1: In Field of Dreams, a question is asked, is this Heaven? No,
Speaker 1: it's this Midwestern state also known as the corn State. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what what is? Iowa? Got it? Now? That that is?
Speaker 1: That is both correct and also the level of confidence
Speaker 1: I was taking into my answer, like and the fact
Speaker 1: that people are treating this as news like the It
Speaker 1: spawned multiple articles, each comprised of hundreds of words purely
Speaker 1: about how three celebrities like missed one question is right?
Speaker 1: Just the world we live in set off a thousand ships?
Speaker 1: Oh can I just speaking of how easy these are?
Speaker 1: You know what the other the Massachusetts when they couldn't
Speaker 1: get answer me this brainiacs know that m I T
Speaker 1: stands for this Boston area school. That was the question. Wait,
Speaker 1: what does m I T Boston Area school? Yeah? Wait,
Speaker 1: but that's the the wording is weird, Like so it's
Speaker 1: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's
Speaker 1: just what they're just saying. I don't know this is
Speaker 1: that's not good patent. Okay, how about this Jack uh
Speaker 1: incepted in September about fifty migrants from Venezuela. We're surprised
Speaker 1: to find themselves on this Massachusetts resort island. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: either a n antuget or Martha's. It's Martha's finger there,
Speaker 1: it is? What is Martha's fingered? People were like they
Speaker 1: can't get these at all, But I mean those seem
Speaker 1: pretty easy. How our normal jeopardy questions are for someone
Speaker 1: like me constant like I said, the point of Celebrity
Speaker 1: Jeopardy is for us to be able to see in
Speaker 1: broad daylight that celebrities are dumb. You know that we're
Speaker 1: at least they don't exist in the same reality as
Speaker 1: the rest of us anyways. So there's also another thing
Speaker 1: that should have gotten more controversy than that in the
Speaker 1: same So apparently it was like a Kevin Costner category,
Speaker 1: I guess, and so Indigenous Canadian actress and writer Deveri
Speaker 1: Jacobs called out the show on Twitter for a question
Speaker 1: that had absolutely nothing to do with Kevin Costner, although
Speaker 1: I do think it was a reference to the Untouchables.
Speaker 1: So the clue was about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,
Speaker 1: the Mounties, which the show asserted were created to clean
Speaker 1: up whiskey traders from the United States, But, as Jacob
Speaker 1: pointed out, the RCMP was actually created to quote control
Speaker 1: and assert sovereignty over indigenous people, like that's a quote
Speaker 1: from the first Prime Minister of Canada was like, we
Speaker 1: need a force on horseback that is there too control
Speaker 1: an assert sovereignty over like the Brits are doing to
Speaker 1: the Irish. We want at except for literally Yeah, so
Speaker 1: they were created by Canadian Canada's first Prime Minister, John A.
Speaker 1: McDonald as a colonial army to assert sovereignty over indigenous
Speaker 1: people and their lands, and he says that he got
Speaker 1: the idea from the Royal Irish Constable Constabulary with the
Speaker 1: which the British created to keep the Irish people under control.
Speaker 1: But the Mounties are just you know, they have a
Speaker 1: long history in the U n u s Pop culture
Speaker 1: of being sort of adorable and like like not cops.
Speaker 1: You know, the horrible armed dufas Is who aren't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're always given sort of a a pass as
Speaker 1: like innocent. Yeah, that's how we think of everything Canadian.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, they're like there's no way they're like wait
Speaker 1: what they're also a colonizer nation that displaced millions of
Speaker 1: Indigenous people. WHOA, I have it in them. We got
Speaker 1: a lot in common, it turns out. But I mean,
Speaker 1: like in my mind right, like they've had such great
Speaker 1: pr to the point that I'm like they're not even
Speaker 1: a real thing. They just dress up and they like
Speaker 1: they it's Dudley do right stuff. But then you're like,
Speaker 1: what was their initial job again? What were they doing us?
Speaker 1: The force of their initial job was to display some
Speaker 1: forceably relocate Indigenous people and eventually to tear children from
Speaker 1: their homes to put in residential schools, which is euphemism
Speaker 1: for like you know, re education, child prison basically. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then the reservations were basically prisons where you needed
Speaker 1: a pass to leave, were policed by mountees, and the
Speaker 1: Mounties were just like a tool for systemic oppression that
Speaker 1: continues to this day. Mounties routinely target Indigenous communities with
Speaker 1: violence and harassment. And yeah, I mean this myth has
Speaker 1: been perpetuated by pop culture, like Hollywood made movies about
Speaker 1: heroic mounties in the Canadian wilderness, which I was not
Speaker 1: familiar with. That was like early twentieth century saving damsels
Speaker 1: in distress from villains with foreign sounding names. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think by the time I was ingesting popular culture,
Speaker 1: it was like their funny red outfit. They're simple mindedness,
Speaker 1: but like always in a completely non threatening way, right right.
Speaker 1: They were also part Pinkerton. They were there to disrupt
Speaker 1: labor strikes, accused immigrants of being Bolshevik radicals. So just
Speaker 1: chef's kiss. Yeah, it's so you always know his trouble
Speaker 1: when like there's some euphemistic origin story for any kind
Speaker 1: of law enforcement. It's like, yes, it get those whiskey bandits,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And you're like, no, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I'm like, y'all were slave catchers. Shut the funk up,
Speaker 1: and it turned on this other thing. It's like no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: servant protect and brutalize the funk out of you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the Mounties have like those silly pant pants and
Speaker 1: like the gloves that see overly fancies. So if you
Speaker 1: just dressed it up in goofy nous, no one's going
Speaker 1: to notice. Exactly. Can you imagine like this fucking l
Speaker 1: A p D starts going out like cool locks or
Speaker 1: like weird writing pants or something. We're not killing people
Speaker 1: at a disturbing tick. Yeah. Yeah. In the cop movies now,
Speaker 1: like they like I think it was One Jump Street
Speaker 1: or like one of the Jumps Street, they start out
Speaker 1: as like bike cops because you have to make them
Speaker 1: seem right, isn't it isn't that right? Like they started
Speaker 1: out as bike cops because they've been like busted down
Speaker 1: to that level or something. But yeah, you have to
Speaker 1: make the cops seem silly that that is going to
Speaker 1: be a wild new like direction for propaganda to take
Speaker 1: where they're just mean, like made non threatening and goofy.
Speaker 1: Well that's why with the rise of you know, smartphones,
Speaker 1: that's always a steady dream of like, yo, that cop
Speaker 1: can pop and lock right a purpose limbs out of
Speaker 1: their sockets right, and you're like, oh, but I also
Speaker 1: can get down there. Uhould be a b boy check
Speaker 1: out those moves or like, and I hate that copaganda
Speaker 1: ship because it's always like it's it's so funny because
Speaker 1: even when I watch, I'm like, oh, ship, look at
Speaker 1: oh wow, you can see walk And then I'm like, wait,
Speaker 1: shut the funk up. This person put on that uniform
Speaker 1: to brutalize poor people and protect private property. This is
Speaker 1: not somebody who gives a funk about anybody, but it is.
Speaker 1: It just does goes goes like it goes to show
Speaker 1: you like that image whenever it's doing something a little
Speaker 1: bit goofier than like violence, then you're like, I love
Speaker 1: it that cop can juggle and make cotton candy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and roller blade cop. That's can be like all cops
Speaker 1: are rolling around on roller blades. Oh well look we'll
Speaker 1: wait and see. Because I mean, these ideas may sound
Speaker 1: absurd right now, but yeah, we've seen anything. Look at
Speaker 1: they probably sounded absurd and are still absurd all these
Speaker 1: years later. Katherine as always such a pleasure having you
Speaker 1: on the day, Like I, where can people find you
Speaker 1: and follow you? Um? Well, my new website, how to
Speaker 1: Eat l A is Los Angeles restaurant reviews, So if
Speaker 1: you live here or if you're planning on visiting, you
Speaker 1: should go check that out. And I also do video
Speaker 1: versions of the weekend restaurant recommendations on TikTok. So I'm
Speaker 1: just at Katherine Spires on TikTok okay, and y'all, Katherine
Speaker 1: knows what the fun she's talking about with thank you.
Speaker 1: So this is some persons like I wanted to make
Speaker 1: a website. No, she's coming in fucking heavy. Okay, it's true,
Speaker 1: it's true. I I you know, you can give yourself
Speaker 1: whatever job you want, So I decided restaurant critic. But
Speaker 1: I have been writing about food for almost twenty years,
Speaker 1: so exactly this is your lane. And I think I
Speaker 1: mean just already, like looking at your that this site,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I've never heard of these fucking places,
Speaker 1: and I'm from here. Yeah, yeah, that's what I want
Speaker 1: to do. I want to talk about places that aren't
Speaker 1: getting covered like in the biblications. Dude, there's like a
Speaker 1: whole like complex of like lack of like lack of
Speaker 1: imagination to what a good restaurant is in l A
Speaker 1: because of these websites. Like, yeah, I haven't thought about
Speaker 1: it that way, but yeah, well so many people just
Speaker 1: they and I get it because like infatuation either those
Speaker 1: websites they aggregate, like like people just default to that.
Speaker 1: But a lot of the times it's like, well, these
Speaker 1: people know the publicists that are like working the pr
Speaker 1: for restaurants and things like that, Whereas you're like, y'all
Speaker 1: got it. I went to Monterey Park and they fucked
Speaker 1: it up over there, exactly. Yeah, that's what I'm more
Speaker 1: interested in. I think it's more reflective of Los Angeles culture.
Speaker 1: And I'm making a point to not um cover restaurants
Speaker 1: that have like puble city teams because those places have money,
Speaker 1: they're set, they're fine. We don't need to talk about them.
Speaker 1: Um you'll find out about them anyway. So just trying
Speaker 1: to you know, there's so many amazing restaurants in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles that hardly anyone knows about and they like deserve
Speaker 1: a little a little come up, you know, yeah, my god,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, omar sol Yeah, shout out to right. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Andrew te put me unto that place, of course he did.
Speaker 1: And is there a tweet or some of the work
Speaker 1: of media or social media that you've been enjoying. There
Speaker 1: is a woman named reb Masl and she's mostly on
Speaker 1: TikTok where she reads court documents in the valley girl accent.
Speaker 1: And that sounds so dumb, but god, it's the funniest
Speaker 1: ship I've ever heard in my life. She finds the
Speaker 1: most amazing cases. But also she recently tweeted that she
Speaker 1: likes the hippos are the most dangerous animal on earth
Speaker 1: because they're vegetarian. They don't want to eat you, they
Speaker 1: just hate you. And I also love when animals are
Speaker 1: like that. Moose are the same way. There's people are
Speaker 1: always like trying to make friends with moose and national
Speaker 1: parks and moose just want to murder so much. They
Speaker 1: just want to stump your ribs in, And I really
Speaker 1: admire that about them. It's for fun. It's for fun.
Speaker 1: And the way they whipped their ship around with their
Speaker 1: tails a thing yeah, they're they're vicious and then like
Speaker 1: a galaxy brained and I'm like, oh my god, that's
Speaker 1: why hippos and moose can't live in the same climates
Speaker 1: because if they came together, just like killer vegans, they
Speaker 1: take over immediately. You gotta separate. How come some like
Speaker 1: maniacal maga like Donor hasn't been like you know what
Speaker 1: I do? I pit animals against each other in these
Speaker 1: kind of bespoke animal fights that you can only be
Speaker 1: invited to. Next month, we got a moose versus hippo.
Speaker 1: You don't know that that's not going on. I know right,
Speaker 1: they probably is. Yeah, but then they can't do that.
Speaker 1: You know what. It happened once and then the moose
Speaker 1: and the hippo looked at each other and we're like,
Speaker 1: who do we really want to kill? And then they
Speaker 1: sucked the people up. That's a movie about coming together
Speaker 1: and know who your real oppressors are. Yes, that too, kids, book,
Speaker 1: Can we write that the hippo and the moose that
Speaker 1: were forced to fight and then they killed the humans
Speaker 1: that brought them to this situation. I think that's such
Speaker 1: a nice story. Yeah, but it does involve the hippo
Speaker 1: biting someone in half. That's yeah, yeah, yeah, kids. It's
Speaker 1: a pop up book. The kids will love that part.
