October thousand nineteen. It's the season finale. My name is
Jack O'Brien ak. What what? He got so high? He

the goddess Hannah Soltis for that flock of seagulls. Inspired

(01:29):
was that sea that's just put in the hashtag I
don't know I don't know that song from Vice City.
I knew Flock of Seagulls from the Reference and Pulp Fiction,
and I knew it from Tommy Boy. I think is

air at the ticket counter. Anyway, Anyways, my a k

Things I know about Paul Simon. Anyways, We're thrilled to

it's great to have you. Congratulations on the Streamy nominations.
The future Oscar nominations for work. Uh, we're gonna get

(04:03):
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
talking about today. We're gonna check him with I think
the Wall Street Journal may have saved Donald Trump's presidency.
We're gonna hear what they're The new angle they came
up with is Uh, We're gonna ask the question, is

(04:23):
Trump fatigue setting in for Republicans? And is Trump fatigue
setting in inside his brain? We're gonna look at an
argument from one of Trump's attorneys in New York, a
lot of Trump stuff. Have you guys heard about this
guy Trump? Uh right? And whether he is planning to

(04:46):
throw Mike Pence under the proverbial bus. We're gonna check
him with popeyees. It's been sixty four days since our
last bite of chicken sandwich, the best chicken sandwich I
think I've had from a quick service restaurant. I don't know, man,
I enjoyed it. Maybe you know, you gotta take all expectations,

(05:09):
everything into account. I was really feeling that we're going
to check him with them. What became of the chicken Sandwich.
When will we see it again in the future. We're
going to check him with Mark Zuckerberg, who rocked the
Caesar on Capitol Hill. Uh, and yeah, I had some
explaining to His lineup was foul. Yeah, people called it microbangs.

(05:32):
That ship is a Caesar. He had the White Boys
Caesar haircut, and he's like, I would like a lineup
like the guys I played pickup basketball with and they're like, Okay,
how are we gonna do it with this hairs coming on?
He super into Caesar. That's why it's purpose. Do you
think so he just like looks at he's talked about.
He's like into the classics, right. Yeah. Also do you think,

(05:52):
oh so wow, well let's we'll get into that. I
like that then No. But he a lot of his
thinking and stuff is influence by old tiny philosophy and
who's hot and who's not. That's his favorite, that's his
favorite platonic ideal of hotness. But first, Cody, what is

(06:14):
something from your search history that is revealing about who
you are? Well, I mean aside from the standard stuff
where it's like Bill Maher eleven apology stuff, and just
like he's a guy, he says some stuff about nine
eleven got canceled. When was that an eighteen year old cancelation? Um?

(06:38):
But like a personal thing recently been googling. Um would
working classes and shops you can rent like tape, rent
out tables and stuff. Um, because I don't have I
live an apartment. I don't have access to anything like that.
You look like a woodwork I was gonna say, you
got the pencil and yeah, I got great measured but
no pocket protector right yeah, yeah, well kind of protective

(07:01):
nerd ship. Yeah what kind of protective eye word? Do
you have no brand? No? Okay, well we'll get in
my current classes, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a
very nick offerman of you to get into work woodworking.
I just want to build. I need a new coffee table.
I'd rather build it. Do you have a style you're
trying to build? Just just just some basics. Just wanna
just want tangle with legs exactly? Yeah? If you talked

(07:24):
put stuff on it soaring about that? No, I probably
should though. He's like all the yea, yeah it's annoying.
Yeah yeah, all the all the great furniture in his
house he hand built. It's disgusting. The last time I
was there, I was like, oh that's nice. Yeah, I
built it all right? Yeah man, all right, where the
out and have some of the delicious avocados from the

(07:45):
tree that I planted in the soil that I created
with my worm farm. I think the first time I
went to the house, an avocado almost hit me on
my head in his backyard, and I was like, what
the fund was this? Like, it's just the thing's teaming
with avocados, start throwing them off because one house in
l A that has the avocado is still intact because

(08:06):
the fucking squirrels and ship aren't just destroying them. He's
actually trend all the squirrels around his house to yeah, yeah,
you missed the spot. Say you can say I'm sorry. Yeah,
basic phrases. Are you going to get into? Do you
think joinery like joints for woodworking? Eventually? Like if you
think this this path will lead you into like some

(08:27):
really cool carpentry stuff or you just want to sort
of get the basics. I know it will. I don't
think it will. Um No, I just it's more just like, uh,
I spend too much time reading about Like I said,
Bill Martin like, let me do something with my hands,
exact life exactly. Speaking of woodworking, have you heard about

(08:49):
this simple woodworker who had a message of love that
he spread through his twelve fronts? Sorry, tell me more? Yes?
What is something you think is underrated? Well? Wait, were
talking about Jesus? Yeah, that's fucking tight Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Yeah,
I don't know. I've just become familiar with his works

(09:10):
through Kanye has an album coming out, this dude, Jesus
coming out today. I think he has already announced the
follow up album before releasing the first album. So Jesus
is born. Yeah, that's not even a joke. I thought
it was a headline when it was like he hasn't
there's Jesus king. Now that's not a joke. Christmas Christmas album?

(09:35):
What is What's something you think is underrated? Um? I
think mondays are kind of underrated Mondays just by Garfield
or yeah thinking a bad rap? Um. I think it's uh,
you know, you're you're off the weekend, so obviously a
little groggy, but like you start your routine again, you do,
you do your coffee, go in and like you complain

(09:57):
with everybody about how Mondays are bad. Um. I think
it brings people together, um, and it gets you going.
I also, I am saying this having not had a
real job in a long time. On Monday, yeah, I
was like, Yeah, what's what's Monday like for you? I
mean it's like Saturday. Do you get the do you
have that thing where you get the Sunday scaries? No? Um,

(10:19):
weekends mean nothing to me because it's all blurry. We
also we shoot our show on the weekends often, so
like my weekend is like I don't know, Wednesday, Tuesday,
like a motherfucker, Well, today is my Monday. Um, and
I had a great time. So I think Mondays are underrated.
Monday Thursdays as Mondays are underrated. Do you a Sunday scary?

(10:40):
It depends when I hated my job. Yeah, yeah, that's
when you get them. That's weird, right when I when
I like my job, I don't hate going in on
Monday because I enjoyed. It's usually I've had it the worst. Man,
when I worked at fucking Playboy who shit, yeah, fucking
like black out in the middle of the day, like
almost trying to be like I don't know there, Yeah,

(11:02):
but I need healthcare money. Healthcare is underrated healthcare Yeah, yeah,
unfortunately charge underratedly underrated, hugely underrated. But I think that's
really the part of the thing too, is also being
able to navigate that ship too, because after a while
I was just resigned to the fact that I'm like,
Sundays are going to be the most chaotic day like

(11:22):
mentally for me because I'm just like versus trying to
like kind of confront whatever. Uh, the source of the
anxiety was yeah, yeah, dismantled that. You know, is this
a moment, Is this an opportunity for growth or just
resigned to the fact of or just like wallowing in
your own take care of what's under the surface and
then above the surface is a little better exactly Have

(11:43):
you thought about trying Have you ever read those articles
where people go in and pretend they work at a
place just to like get the vibe of the no
no I swear. There's there's somebody who wrote an article
about how they just went and worked at a company
without actually having a job there for like a month

(12:03):
or something. What is this? It is a weird way,
a weird way of telling Cody worst your ever is
not in fact on this network. Is that crazy? Like
I gotta, I gotta go back to record. It was
like it was very nineties like gen X, Yeah, I'm
working with a man by ironic appreciation of work, like

(12:26):
putting on like a suit and tie, walking into an office,
taking an elevator up, going to the kitchen where I
imagine people like who the funk are you? Ye? Just
sitting at an empty desk setting your ship up? Yeah,
Like think about all the empty desks there used to
be in our office back in Santa Monica, Like we
could have rented them out to hear. Do you want
to pretend to have job? Yeah? Like I work at

(12:47):
Cracked too. Even on the we're talking about wallstear journel later.
There's a headline earlier today about like people who try
to uh the shorter work, shorter work, shorter work week,
I'm shutter worked is and they're like, yeah, one of
the downsides is that people had so much fun when
they weren't working, it diminished their passion for their work.

(13:08):
Like why why are you fetishizing this? Like it's such
so I mean, but that's such a capitalistic take of
for like the downfall to your employees being happy. It's
like you might not be able to get a lot
of shit out of them now, and it's like, I
bet actually during that work, uh, they do better work
because they're happy, we're not. Their gross happiness went up,

(13:29):
their net happiness at the job went down, and therefore
that is the most important happiness. So happies have to
cut it out, have to come in earlier. What was
like the first line was sort of like the like
one of the negatives. It was literally just like the
first word is downside and you're like, oh what, and
then like short work, we're happy, but where are we

(13:50):
going down? It sounds great, guys, I don't know who
you're talking about, so weird? Uh yeah, I I find
it works better to do the opposite and just work
all the time, and then the rest of your life
seems shitty because you know, your family's left you and
people are just you're not even heating up those talk

(14:12):
about work and so. But then by comparison, your work
life is actually pretty pretty lit. I mean, you haven't
lived until you've had a Stauffer's frozen too in a
noodle cast role that you just had to leave out.
And then just once it gets a little bit to
ice cream, softness eat like that, that's true happiness. Uh.
What is something you think is overrated? Um? Binge watching?

(14:35):
I think watching from what give me the you know,
break it down from me? Um, I just think, uh,
I understand it and I do it. I participate. UM.
I think that for most shows it kind of ruins
the show a little bit and the viewing experience and
how you like digest a show and understand and appreciate it. Um.

(14:57):
I think it's different for a show like Stranger Things.
I think it's mostly makes sense because yeah, um, and
there's no it's not like you watch an episode and
you can be like, oh, the theme of this episode
was this, and like here's what this was about. Um,
because it's a completely different thing. But I think for
most shows, you it benefits you to have a little

(15:18):
time in between, so you watch what happens and you
can think about it and you can yeah, sort of
digest like here's what that episode was about. It makes
distinctions between them. Um. Like I mean these days, when
after I binge watch a show, I can't really say like, oh,
that one episode of the show, it's just that one

(15:40):
season of the show. You the one one moment from
a season of the show is what you're talking about
as opposed to like, oh, that episode was good, um,
and I think it benefits. Is there a show that
you realize you're like, this cannot this should not be
binged because you talked about shows you understands. What's the
one that you were recently I'm glad? Or is there
a show that you could have been and you're like,
I'm not going to binge it? Um there Fleabag is

(16:03):
the most recent show. I like, really binged and consumed
all of it. I don't think that was necessarily terrible
experience because it's so good. Um. But even that, I
feel like if I took a little more time, like
really appreciate it a lot more. It was like two
days and I was done because it's so good. Um.
And and immediately as I was done, I was like,
I want to watch it again. I didn't, uh, because

(16:26):
I have a little bit of self control. But I
don't even think that feeling would have happened if I
had waited, you know, like, because you give it a
little more time and then when's over, it feels complete,
like Okay, I spent a while and I watched the
show and how it's done, and I can move on,
as opposed to like, oh, it's all in my brain,
I want to watch them again, and you sort of
have to go back and rewatch them stuff. I think
from a marketing standpoint, just as a network, it behooves

(16:48):
networks to draw out a moment for a show for
months because you have repeated you can renew the conversation
weekly because a lot of Netflix shows they drop it
every one with their takes, that there's one week of
takes and then fucking silence. Yeah, it happens and it's
done right. And also I think for me as a
viewer to like when things are all of like available immediately,

(17:11):
that almost puts me off to watching a show because
I'm funk, I missed that way. If I don't people
are talking about at least if it's like weekly, I'm like, well,
I have a few days to catch up or whatever.
It's exhausting to like see a show like oh, the
whole thing dropped, Ah, do I need to watch like, um,
the New Watchman show. Um. If that were available altogether,
I think that'd be a terrible viewing experience because it's

(17:33):
very clearly like, okay, this episode about this. Even the
titles are very specific, like they're saying something, and if
you just watch it all, it's kind of a blur
and you don't really catch everything. Yeah, I mean the
graphic novel is not just one big drawing about that. Wow.
I didn't think about it that way though. That way. Yeah. Uh. Finally,

(17:57):
what is a myth? What something people think it's true
you know, to be false. Um, this isn't like an
everyday thing. I think it's interesting. Vomatoriums, Yeah, they don't,
They're not real. Mumm oh so uh this is myth. Basically,
the ancient Romans had vomitorium is basically where like they
would eat an ex they'd go to a room and

(18:17):
they'd throw up again. But vomitorium, that word referred to
entrances to like colosseums, because it's like you spew people
into into it. From a certain height, it looked like
the colosseum was vomiting people out onto the pavement, right right,
right right. That's a cool way to just rename an exit,

(18:39):
isn't it. Yeah, But people were like vomitorium, these idiots
growing up on purpose? When did that myth start up.
I have no idea. Yeah, it's like a pop culture
thing for for like decades. Was that myth sort of
tied to like the end days of the empire, like
right where it's like, exactly, there is so decadent, they're

(19:01):
doing all this stuff. They're all they eat so much
just to vomit it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sort of
a myth about about the dangers of excess. I think
it was actually just like, no, we just had a name.
Thank god America learned that lesson, right, Yeah. Yeah, but
it's a way to I mean, it's the same thing
we do with climate change and stuff. You have to
make it individual people's fault, like you have to personalize

(19:23):
the failure of the Fall of Rome as opposed to
it being just general like overreach and empire being a
bad idea. Exactly. It wasn't all the micro militarism at
the end of the Roman Empires. Let's just fight a
bunch of wars that we think are prestige wars that
are just going to drain our resources and then the people. Anyway,

(19:44):
whatever that's not happening here. I'm fine, what'll we find
will be fine. Everything's like you're talking about Uh no,
because they were all fat, dumb, like a praguer you video,
I would honestly not be surprised. I mean, I can't
wait till whatever the funk pre or you starts when
they start entering this phray of trying to redefine what

(20:05):
laws are the constitution. Surprise, I haven't seen that much
out of them yet. They're gonna they've got they've got
a bright future. All right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back. And we're back, and uh, you

(20:28):
know there the Tailor testimony is sort of settling in.
I feel like people are like and so that that
should be it, right, we kind of know what what's happening. Oh,
good point, that could be. So the Wall Street Journal

(20:50):
uh is doing their part by coming up with a
new angle on sort of how how this would not
be the end of Trump's presidency. Uh yeah, it's this
is a little frightening because we've seen a lot of
bullshit explanations, excuses for the president's corrupt behavior, immorality, all

(21:14):
of that, and this, this from the editorial board of
the Wall Street Journal just feels actually pretty ironclad rhetorically, intellectually,
as a defense. Um, so I'll just read this for you,
and I sorry if everyone trying to throw your Muther
time mugs into the trash um, it says. Intriguingly, Mr
Taylor says in his statement that many people in the

(21:35):
administration opposed the Giuliani effort, including some in senior positions
at the White House. This matters because it may turn
out that while Mr Trump wanted a quid pro quel
policy ultimatum towards Ukraine, he was too inept to execute it.
Impeachment for incompetence would disqualify most of the government and

(21:56):
most presidents at some point or another in office. So
he we're too dumb to do crime. This is so slimy, right,
but so, dude, attempted murder, dude, not murder. It's wild.
It's literally a Simpsons joke, right, Like, isn't that like

(22:16):
quite literally Sacho Bob in prison, He's like, attempted murder?
What is that? Did they give the Nobel Prize for
attempted chemistry? And it's like, well, d bart d yeah, yeah,
this is because I mean, this is where we're at,
you know, like logically, they've a lot of layers have
been shed in terms of how to defend the actions

(22:36):
of the president, and we're at not duty's too dumb, Like,
are you really gonna just fucking impeach me because they're
too dumb? Then like everyone's like should be in peace basically, Also, okay,
you impeach everybody, like like great, if if you're incompetent,
you shouldn't you are? You are correct? We journal that

(22:57):
this would apply to most people in the government. It's
just very telling them too, just like the culture we
live in where it's almost like, yeah, everyone's incompetent, and
it's America. Incompetent people can't do ship. Now, I wonder
if we should hold the president to a higher standard
than we do most people. I don't know. I mean,
I don't know. The Wash Street Journal they got a

(23:17):
point here. This is the byeline on this article is
Wall Street Journal editorial Board, which I mean again that
we we've talked about this before. But you might assume
that they are the same as the people who do
the reporting for the Wall Street Journal. They are not.
They're more it's more like the difference between Fox News

(23:38):
is opinion and Fox News is reportage, except like more
more extreme difference. But there's something logically also wrong with
the argument because they're they're saying he was too dumb
to do the crime. Dumbness isn't crime All presidents dumb.

(24:02):
But he's still trying to do the crime. Yeah, but
he's attempted, so they're just ignoring the the intent. Yeah,
it's very weird. Which yeah, this uh, and this has
been creeping up for a while. I think it's this defense. Um,

(24:22):
I've seen it from like figures like Benjapiter has gone
on rants about this and like because Trump is framed
often by some people as to them to do anything
and other people as like doing the nine d chess. Um, damn,
you had a five dimensions. Yeah, well he's very very good.

(24:44):
And it's sort of like you use either one depending
on how come you want. It's like they're neither of
them are. Yeah. So Watergate was not a successful robbery. Interesting, right,
like Bill Clinton did not have like he got caught Lyne,
that's the but he got caught line, he did attempt

(25:06):
to get away with He attempted to get away with
it and did not, and that is how the crime
was caught and that's how he got into trouble. It's
just like I've never even heard this defense of anything
being Yeah, but he didn't get away with it, but
that because this is where we're at though, you know
what I mean? And you know they also use this

(25:27):
even with the Russia stuff too, like he was too
dumb to col It was like everyone's too bumbling to
actually have colluded with Russia. And to a certain extent,
I can, I can understand that a little bit more acid.
They were trying to really find this like direct line
or whatever. Now you have it, and it's like, well,
but he tried. It was like, what the fun? Yeah,
maybe he wanted that, as they've articulated that he wanted

(25:50):
a quid pro quel policial toye. Also, impeachment isn't criminal, right,
it's not. It's political process. And I don't I don't
Lindsay Graham in like that. If I had to guess,
I would I would assume that Trump didn't know what
he was doing was impeachable. Necessarily he doesn't. He's not

(26:13):
even operating in a world where laws apply. But he
doesn't think he's impeachable, right is he? This is he's
so rich and why he has been gas lit by
his privilege he's fucking he thinks he got the star
in Mario Kart. That is, that's beside the point. The
point is that we have somebody who's like so thoroughly
corrupt that every instinct, like the fact that he lies

(26:35):
with every breath, to the point that he doesn't know
when he's lying and when he's not, doesn't make him
a good president an okay president. And this doesn't make
it okay for him to continue to run for the
presidency in just because he tries to cheat without realizing
it's cheating and fails at it because he's gonna keep

(26:57):
trying to cheat like that that's the only thing he knows. Yeah,
he's a liar and cheater. Um. And I think he
also has this weird this cute. I mean, obviously presidents
get away with stuff, and I would say all of
them our war criminals in some respect. Um, But like
you think he has this. He's so obsessed with like
various conspiracy theories and he's sort of the logical he's

(27:17):
a logical conclusion of Fox News basically. Um. And so
he has slowly believed everything he's heard from them. So
in his mind, Barack Obama did things that were illegal
and UM as opposed to like ten thousand or whatever
it is. UM. And so he in his mind, he's like,

(27:38):
he got away with this, He got away with this,
He got away with this. I can do whatever I want.
So he has a skewed view of what the presidency
is as well. UM And just because he is incompetent
and people disagree with him doesn't mean that this is nothing.
It's so weird that they're what if he had a
child who is obsessed with matches and gasoline and you

(27:59):
always call him, but the kid was too dumb to
actually get the match to work, but it fully soaked
your home in gasoline. Thank god, he's too dumb to
know he can't do it. He's just gonna leave him
at home with more gasoline and matches. Will he tried it,
but he will try every time, eventiline gasolene eventually, like

(28:19):
what the if you let this process play out, he
will keep trying to do it until he can. So
to not even acknowledge that is being like a threat
or possible issue. I think it is so disingenuous. It's
also like super It's just normalizes everything even more in
a really gross way, where you're like allow your allowing
this behavior and his like the gasoline thing, Like now

(28:42):
a lot of people around him are covering in gasoline
right now. They're like, oh, maybe I could do a
match too, you know. So, like he's influencing people around
him and the country in general in a way that's
not healthier good, and they're just they're just forgiving it
and it and if if he gets away with it,

(29:03):
we're just essentially like a I mean, what's the difference
between that and authoritarianism where somebody can just like strong
arm his way through cheating at elections, Like that is
where we are. That's Wan and ship or in his
ear that giving him all these weird conspiracies about Ukraine,

(29:23):
like the way even these other motherfucker's are massaging his
dumb fucking brain like he's getting it from all these
other leaders Like, man, you know what's fucking crazy And
I can't I'm sure they can't believe it. They're like, dude,
he like believes that. Yeah, Um, that article is really
disturbing about like Victor Orbon and Putin were like giving
him all these Ukraine ideas and meetings. I didn't read

(29:45):
that article. What dude, just basically these like this idea
that Ukraine is just like corrupt hellscape and like you know,
like just giving just completely obscuring his perception of what
Ukraine is and how it works and what the actual
situation is. Like he was getting from multiple people, because
I'm sure the end game is the same, Like you
have someone like Orbon who's you know, booed up with
Putin and then you have Putin is like, look, if

(30:07):
I can get those if I can get Ukraine to
like give up the fucking CRIMEA region, then those sanctions
are gone. And then if I can get him to
start believing that it was Ukraine who was meddling in
twenty sixteen, then I get those sanctions gone. Like there's
a lot of when you look at what the end
games are for these other world leaders and how impressionable
the president is, You're like, oh my god, it's a
fucking that's the thing. He's like, he's a he's a

(30:28):
conspiracy sponge and super uh messed up and dangerous, and
people way smarter than him know that. So he's so
easily manipulated. Like even with his first like month in office,
there's so many articles about how like yeah, he he
believes the last thing he heard. If you leave the
room and you're the last one, he'll believe what you said,

(30:49):
not what the people before him. You know. Else was
that there's a dollar on Ronald's a little carpenter by
the name of Ronald. They literally like word for were Like,
the last thing you tell Ronald Reagan is what he believes.
So like the people around him just like dictated policy
through that. But this ties into like, I mean, Reagan

(31:12):
was also the last person who was like descending into
dementia when he was in the presidency. And I don't
know that Trump necessarily is well. I saw a clip
today on the News that they were showing him talking
in twenty sixteen January of and my goodness, I was

(31:33):
different him. What is he nineteen? Like his his he
was so quick. His cadence was much faster. It was.
It's really interesting to just even when you compare those things. Yeah,
it's whether it's that or just even the stress of
having to like knowing their backs against the wall. He's right,
and the presidency in general, like and every presidents like,
oh yeah, being the president amplifies who you are and

(31:55):
we're right, um, and he's always been that and it
just sort of elerates it. But when Reagan's mind went,
he was surrounded by competent, evil bureaucrats who like understood
his shitty, disastrous vision. And we're able to like steer
the ship as though it's still had a captain. And

(32:16):
this dude doesn't have competent people around him. They have
all jumped ship. Uh he does not like there's no
coherent ideology to carry on. It's just whatever his gut says,
and that will be in charge of the presidency. Uh like,
assuming he continues to be president. It's pretty wild. I

(32:40):
mean it really, like with the pace we're going, like
he could literally he could say something so out there
in front of people, like in a serious ways, like
and you know what He's like, I do want to
talk about Ukraine because was that Goose doing in here?
And he will be like, yeah, he he was talking

(33:01):
about top Gun. Yeah, Like that's where I mean, curious
to know what we do at that point if he
gets you were talking about how like the clips from
sixteen I keep seeing now people talking about and obviously
they're all like craven sick of fans and stuff, but
like oh, he's like he's sharper than he's ever been.
He like, he's it looks like he's getting younger, like
you can see on Fox News and all these people like,

(33:22):
oh he's so he's it's so it's like he's aging. Um.
And so it's just it's so obvious and bizarre. Um. Well,
I mean he did just literally just say that he
was going to build the Mexico border wall in Colorado, kiddingly, kiddingly,
but what's the joke, Like, the joke is that it

(33:44):
wasn't one. He's there's a tweet where he's like, kiddingly,
we're gonna build a wall Colorado, and then there's another
parenthetical that's like a phrase that like a human being
would never come up with, and then he's like, and
here's what I really meant. Um. It's one of his
funniest tweets because if you watch the clip, it's so

(34:05):
obvious that he was not joking. De sus serious um.
And he always does this where he's like, I was
at the fake news is doing this and this, and
sometimes the media will overblow things he said that are
kind of jokes. But again it's like, is the joke
really about a truth that he feels. But this was
so obviously a thing that he said and meant. And

(34:27):
his tweet is mannic and weird, a lot of parentheses, um,
and the fact that it starts with the word kiddingly.
The tweet is a parenthetical. It starts off parenthetical kiddingly.
Then we're building a wall in Colorado. Here we go
with another parent parenthetical. Then stated, we're not building a
wall in Kansas. But they got the but they get
the benefit of the wall we're building on the border.

(34:49):
And parenthetical referred to people in the very packed auditorium
from Colorado in Kansas getting the benefit of the border wall.
But then why didn't he say Kansas was the wall
in Kansas too? I like him, Like, you know what
I was doing. I was underlining the terrible job BESSI
Devace is doing his Department of the Department of Education,
basic geography. Most people didn't know that country is failing.

(35:13):
You look at me. Yeah. I've talked about how Drudge
Reports seems to have turned a corner, like around the
time that the memo came out, kind of giving the
account of the conversation between Trump and the Lynskey. But
like he had as his main headline in like top picture,
we're building a wall in Colorado, um because which I

(35:36):
don't know, like I think people who are onto him
are are on Like there's people on the right who
are like, yeah, this is this is not good. Well
that's why you know the in the Daily Beast, they
were bringing up this whole idea of of Trump fatigue,
like hitting the right at this point, and not even
in the sense that they're tired of him because they
don't like agree with him anymore. It's that the so

(35:59):
much ship that they know is just making things harder
is happening so frequently now and even faster. Like the
call was one thing, and they tried to be like, well,
you know, we'll see, maybe it's not this quid pro quote.
Then you had the fucking Syria pull out, the whole
debacle with Syria, and they're like, oh my god, what
the funk is he doing? Then the g seven at
door should happen, and then his own people would be like, dude, no,

(36:22):
like that was right. It was a pressure from the
right that kind of that He was like, oh, I
guess uh, they're they're crying about this, um, but they're
saying that, according to one of these concern these conservative
writers quote, the sufferers of Trump fatigue aren't driven mad
by the president. They're just tired of having to wake
up every morning to another of his sudden attacks, reversals, exaggerations,
and boasts. And even in the National Journal they're saying,

(36:44):
if you look at a lot of the data, like
polling and fundraising, quote, new polling and fundraising figures show
that Mitch McConnell's hold on the Senate majority is looking
awfully precarious. Indeed, the pathway for a narrow democratic takeover
of the upper chamber is looking clearer than ever because
you have like people are just themselves from the president.
They're retiring because they don't even want to fucking deal

(37:04):
with having to face an electorate that is like, uh,
you've do you funk with this? Um? And I I look,
I can see where that's going. I don't you still
see though that if we're talking about you know, I
think we're there are a lot of the politicians are
approaching that point where the negatives of supporting the president
are starting to finally outweigh the benefits of lining themselves

(37:27):
with him. And I think this is where like I
think the in this piece just trying to see, well,
then what happens at that point when you crossed the
rubicon into fully actually yeah, like there's no benefit at
all now. But I do think they've a lot of them,
like enough have probably it's it's no longer worth it
to support him. But they're scared of his base, right, Yeah,

(37:48):
which is him because as soon as you criticize him
where you're getting twigged about r I P. You're mentions, Yeah,
he's like, I just don't want to get flamed in
my mentions. It's the thing, otherwise I would speak out
against this ethnic cleansing at the border. What if you
lug off? Yeah? Would that help? What? Yeah, it's just

(38:10):
it's just like they they love him though you know
where it's like it's I think it's exhausting for them
to to defend a lot of his stuff, but they
ultimately they only care about winning and maintaining power. And
I don't know how much still abandoned that, right, And

(38:31):
I guess the logical end is if you're so singularly
focused on something, it could it will eventually be your
own detriment. Because they've abandoned all these other principles to
be like, you know what, let's try and like maintain
white supremacy in this country as best as we can
and ignore all this other like aggressive ship and we'll
just oh, that's right. There's a whole other part of
the country that we are completely alienating and whose votes

(38:53):
we won't have. And I get. I mean, they can
keep cheating and trying to redraw like you know, congressional
maps and things like that, but it eventually you get
to this point where, like a lot logically, legally rhetorically,
you're running out of ship to defend yourself. And yeah,
I think, yeah, ultimately, I think the thing that's gonna
turn actual like Republican figures and lawmakers is going to

(39:14):
just be like, yeah, sent of the country things, you
should be impeached. Yeah. I guess as soon as they realize, oh, no,
the people that people are gonna vote for us, so
we're not gonna be able to maintain that power, then
they'll then they'll switch and then the next phase of
politics has to go on where we have to keep
reminding people that these were Trumpers exactly because they're gonna
actively work it. They're gonnamselves back back and like yeah,

(39:37):
you know enough. And even though what Kirsten Nielsen recently
was like, oh I gotta speak out. I couldn't. I
had to quit. I couldn't just keep saying no, Like
after all that, all these people only speak out one thing,
even like the Maddest is like doing jokes about it.
It's like, what did you do when you were there? Yeah, well,
I think it's like probably one of those things they'll

(39:58):
try and say something and they're like, I guess it's
not connecting, or maybe a lot of people believe. They're
like I think I can get through and then they can't.
But with Kirsty Nielsen and like the Despicable Ship, the
policy she was overseeing, uh good luck trying to fuck it.
I mean, who knows, Maybe she'll be on Dancing in
the Dancing with the Stars next season. Yeah. The mconneal
thing is interesting though, because also he's been doing those

(40:19):
tweets about never trumpers being like human scum and stuff.
I feel like he knows that, like he's he's he's
had conversation with mcconald like you know, you're you're losing,
You're losing some people. Yeah, and so he's freaking out
and trying. Yeah, because he's trying to he wants to,
you know, make the again, dehumanize them by saying their scum.
And then so then he's chumming the waters with his

(40:41):
bass to be like, Okay, are you guys hungry because
I might start throwing names out because they hate him too,
like his basse hates everybody, um, all the Republicans basically,
who aren't you know, Matt Gates or whatever. Yeah, such
a cool guy. He said it felt like three when
they were storming the skin. Did you read this ship?

(41:04):
I mean it looked exactly like it. So cool. Also,
like half of those motherfucker's could have been in those
hearings anyways, deceased. So good. But that's so on, Brandy. Yeah,
they're here, they're heroes. That's that's how they view themselves

(41:25):
because you know what it was he wants as much
pats on the head from the president as possible, and
I think when he's like we gotta get tough, he's like, well,
I'm gonna fucking show daddy what I can do. Fuck yeah,
call me Leonidas. Meanwhile, while while we're on the subject
of him turning into a tinpot dictator. Uh. His attorneys

(41:50):
in New York argued that he technically could shoot someone
in the middle of Fifth Avenue. H. They wouldn't be
able to prosecute him until he was removed from office. Uh.
And the judge could not believe what the fun was here.
He said, nothing could be done, that's your position, And
Trump's attorney said that is correct. Well, but it's not permanent,

(42:12):
permanent immunity. Yeah, that's where it's try to be reasonable.
It's not permanent obviously. Then like whatever, But but this
is the other thing about all these hearings, right with
this William console away that attorney um a lotted in
these hearings over his taxes in New York. He keeps
saying this thing about the president is immune, okay. In
at the beginning of the month, he said the same

(42:33):
ship where he's like, you know, obviously, trying to get
a president cut of legal should be such a distraction,
but the vice president is not immune. They're like, this
is a trial about his fucking taxes. What the are
y'all saying? Then yesterday with this ship uh, and the
same thing when he was doing the Fifth Avenue like
clapping somebody in Fifth Avenue Defense he brought up again.

(42:54):
He's like, but you know, however, the vice president would
not have this unit so tasty. Oh yeah, So it's
like one of those things where like I'm like, I
think Rachel Maddow the first time they talked about was like,
what the funk? What was the point of that, because
we've seen from the beginning of the call when the
call ship came out. He was like, well, man, maybe
you should ask you should ask Pence about his calls
to and I was like, what are you doing? And

(43:16):
and also knowing that he sent Pence to go tell
Zelinski about the military age ship, like as the messenger,
I don't know if he's a trying to gear Pence
up as a blood offering to protect himself or possibly
using him as a blood offering to also make Nancy
Pelosi the number two so the Senate Republicans would never
vote to impeach him because that would make Nancy Pelosi

(43:36):
the president. Wow, I don't know, Like, where's the It's
a lot of that stuff. Yeah, it's it's the gut.
It's his gut reaction. It's like how he's he plays
enough checkers to be like, well, if I put this
piece there and then not your pieces off, I knock
my own piece, then I'll flip the board. But it's

(43:56):
really odd how there's a lot of this, Like it's like, well,
the Vice Press, like this isn't about this has that's
the thing. None of these legal proceedings have had anything
to do with Mike Pence. But no, it's perfect. It
makes it makes complete sense that that's perfect. Yeah, of
course of course he's setting setting h that it's setting

(44:17):
the stage. It's like the uh, all these things too
are kind of doing that. It's very weird because like
the he's too dumb argument has been sort of percolating
elsewhere and it rose up to like oh, the Wall
Street Journal is now making this ridiculous argument for it,
and this argument that like, well, the president can do
whatever he wants. You can't you can't hold Hi accountable

(44:41):
at all. That's also been bubbling around and now he's
his lawyers are saying no, he can't do he can
shoot somebody. Um, all this stuff, and even the like
people dismissing like, oh, he's not gonna he's not gonna
do like do anything with the elections. And even though
he's they're like canceling primaries for him U and all
these things that people have said, either jokingly or seriously,

(45:05):
uh are all like probably up to the top because
he he'll just any any any reason, anything that could
keep keep the rat safe. It's like we're getting close
to the kitchen sink. Yeah, I mean, if they were throwing,
we've thrown a lot. Yeah. I forget who it was.
It might have been Michael Cohen, but I think it
was even before Cohen flipped, where somebody was talking about

(45:27):
just how everybody who comes into his orbit and like
does a deal with him, he fox over like invariably,
he will always fuck you over. And so many people
have compromised their dignity, their politics, their careers to you know,
align with him, and he he that's how he operates.

(45:51):
He's going to fuck you guys over. Yeah. It's like
it's an observable pattern. It's it's his law. It's like
right how he lives, the Trump And it's so obvious
the Trump love thermodynamics of fucking people, of waiting waiting
for the flipping on his on his son's like who meant,
who's going to be first? At least one of them.

(46:12):
He doesn't care about his children at all. It's gotta
be Eric first. It'll be Yeah, he's the least because
he doesn't want his name, say, you know, he doesn't
want his own his dream counting. Yes, I would say Jared.
I would say his first, because he hates he deep level.
He loves him because he knows that loving him makes

(46:34):
Ivanka view him positive. Yes, it brings him closer to
but he hates Jared. I think he cares little or
nothing about Eric because he's kind of a nonentity, whereas
Junior is like, you're my namesake. Also and he's you're
the dumbest one. But also he's like the most like
he has the most political aspirations, right, he wants he

(46:57):
wants that sort of legacy to continue. And even I
think Junior is really bad at it. His bass thinks
he's very good at it. That means Ivanka Shavan and
then Jared is Tom Yeah, and of course Tom remember
Logan Roy through Tom out real quick anyway, succession, bring
it all back. That was my guest. I'm curious about,

(47:19):
like what it'll look like the coke fueled bullet orgy
at the end of Scarface when he shoots his sister
who he's always like loved secretly, Like well, right, it's like,
I mean, he get away with everything. I can do
a term and like, oh, if I can get away
with anything, as long as I'm still the president, I'll
just be the president forever. But there is also a

(47:40):
scenario where he does have to like to turn us
on this person turns and turns his family and like
Ivanka will be the last one and he'll do it. Yeah,
oh yeah, So I get if it is scarface when
does he kill Manolo? You know what I mean, because
that was the end when he when he kill his
his homeboy Minola was scarfish Guliani. Giuliani would be Manola.
I get, yeah, but I don't know. It's so hard

(48:03):
because I don't even see him being loyal to anybody.
So weird. It's like even heard he's not even by
the scarface narrative, we don't even know who he is.
He flipped on himself if he knew he could get
away with it, like he's like, you know, he's really bad,
that Trump guy. Anyway, I've been I've been Donald Trump Jr.
Thank you? What all of this metaphorically of course we
alleged anyone to be killed, and we also fully recognize

(48:28):
that this is all gonna end with us in gulugs
and Trump dying in his doated and FEMA camps. Yeah
once he once he refreshes the Oval office too, played
it in gold. Yeah, just because he'll die of a
stroke in his late hundreds, because everyone's too scared to
go and check on him. In his late two hundreds,

(48:50):
he's gonna himself to death on the toilet. Yeah, like
tweeting something about how kiddingly I said, show myself all
the time, I would never do diarrhea every where. The
comment Alright, we're gonna take another quick break and we'll
be back, and we're back, and Papa's chicken sandwich, Uh

(49:26):
might be back soon. Yeah, I mean we got the
tea from a listener from Zigang whose father worked on
the crust and Uh, the mechanics I believe of the
chicken sandwich. I think specifically for the chicken fried, the
filet that goes in the sandwich. But yeah, they ran
out of materials. Basically, the fucking demand was too much

(49:49):
and they had to retreat. But they sang, uh pretty
soon there will be returning to a hundred fifty locations.
But I think that's only four of all. Pop I
was like, how many other? Yeah, it's for a very
specific company that has that's a franchise e. Uh So,
look some of y'all who are living in and they
mostly owned franchisees in Texas, Oklahoma City Central and coastal Florida.

(50:13):
The rest of us will have to wait for our
guilt free chickens. I mean, I stand by my immediate
impression after taking the last bite of that chicken sandwiches,
it's too good to be sustainable. I don't know how
whether they were planning on just like making a handful
of them or raising the price. That turns out they
were only planning on making So you think this is
the movie pass of chicken sandwiches. Yeah, you're like, I

(50:35):
don't know how they're doing it right, and I don't
want to know how it ends. It's gonna be bad.
With Popeye being real down and out on the street
busking doing feats of strength for you to come into
his restaurants. Was Popeye the character ever involved with the
branding for Popeye Chicken must have been right? Yeah? What's
that point? I thought, so I feel like I don't know,
they're unrelated. I don't know why, Like I keep thinking

(50:57):
that what anyway, because like that's what Popeye doesn't eat chicken.
Alvin C. Copeland named the story after fictional detective Jimmy
Popeye Doyle from The French Connection and not the comic
strict pop comic strip Pop by the Sailor Great, Pop
by the Sailor Man. Sorry about that? Um? Did? Did

(51:18):
trademark rules not exist back then? I don't know? Yeah? Right,
it's like, what's your story called nikes Chicken based off
the shoe Jordan's Chicken based off of this kid Jordan,
I know, based off the novel Push by Sapphire Burgers
get the Paco sandwich, Great great Great rule from Opportinito. Um.

(51:41):
But they also saying along with that, because the demand
was so wild, they're hiring almost four employees. Because remember
they're like horror story, Like I worked eighteen hours a
day making these dumb just for people, like somebody pulled
a gun on people. People shooting on people too, were
like the photo people like exhausted outsides, like taking a BREAKO.

(52:03):
It's like, are you re? Um, let's talk about Mark Zucker,
how do you like your How do you like your Zuck?
Served grilled, flamed, roasted fried because Caesar, I like it
over over a Caesar. I like a fried Zuck over
a Caesar salad. Oh my goodness. He got battered on

(52:27):
the hill rightly. So it was Facebook was so it
was really nice to see him just get serviced. No served,
I don't want to say service, that means something else,
but I didn't getting pulled his again. I still can't
get over his like Caesar lineup. It was just really
there was something about it. I wish he had like

(52:48):
an earring in. And it feels like he gets a
haircut like every two weeks. Yeah, yeah, because he's like,
oh yeah, it always. Wait are you saying that he
really is doing a Caesar haircut? You think because he
really loves Julius. Think it's probable, because I know he's
talked about being really into Caesar specifically. That's a thing
that he not only really cares about personally, but it's

(53:10):
a thing he cares about personally and thinks is a
good look for some reason, because he loves to tell
people about like how he loves like the like Empire
and you know, they're how they thought about you know, efficiency.
I don't know. I means the bust of Augustus Caesar
almost would suggest I possibly it's a little bit and

(53:31):
it's kind of along his lines because he does that,
Um he does the what the is a T shirt
or a hoodie? That he does the great T shirt
thing because he only has one outfit. Um, and it's
on purpose for that like sort of efficiency. Uh. Because
like Elizabeth Holmes like you go like, oh, you don't
have to think about what you wear because it's always
the same thing every day and it actually frees up
my mind to lie to Congress or whatever. H Well,

(53:55):
look he got man just every angle, every dimension of
his business was just put under the microscope. Um. Maybe
let's start with working conditions. Uh. In at Facebook we
talked about this in the past with the people that
have to comb through all that violent content on the
platform and go through it. Katie Porter, she was like,

(54:16):
let's talk about that. According to one report, I have
these workers get nine nine minutes of supervised wellness time
per day. That means nine minutes to cry in the
stairwell while somebody watches them. Would you be willing to
commit to spending one hour a day for the next
year watching these videos and acting as a content monitor

(54:39):
and only accessing accessing the same benefits available to your workers. Uh, Congresswoman,
we work hard to make sure that we give good
benefits to all the folks who are doing reclaming my time.
I would appreciate it, yes or no? Would you be
willing to act as a content monitor have that life experience?

(54:59):
I'm not sure than would best serve our community for
me to spending my time zuckerbergaming my time? Reclaim that ship,
Mr Zuckerberg, are you saying you're not qualified to be
a content monitor? Because before she starts off saying you've
got people going through hours and hours of fucked up ship. Yeah,

(55:20):
getting PTSD for for less than thirty thousand dollars of
fucking year with no mental health benefits. Yeah, he's He's like, oh, actually,
in some areas we do twenty it's like you're missing
the you don't get it. You don't get it, my man,
never mind. Um. It's so it was so satisfying to

(55:40):
see that too, because people don't talk about that, and
that's that's a huge issue for in general. Just like
worker conditions, UM, and to see him flounder and and
frame it like, well, actually, I'm above subjecting myself to
this horrendo No, that would be the best use of
my time for our community. Something. I've also noticed that

(56:02):
I just think it's funny. Um, the way he answers questions,
all of them. I think congress Poli, it's congress congressman.
He always says it starts with congresswoman, no matter what,
and it's very weird, like it's just an odd like
just answer the question. But he's like very formalst like congressman.
Here's the thing. He referred I think to a few
congresswomen as congressmen to like as a habitually his reflective

(56:24):
responses congressman or woman UM. And then Rashida Talaib was like, Hi,
I would like to talk about hate speech on your platform.
What you know, You've got all kinds of wild ship
on your platform, but what's your definition hate speech? Wow?
He didn't. He wasn't ready for this ship either. So
Mr Zuckerbert, yes or no? Is it still your policy
to band hate groups? My understanding is yes, face groups

(56:49):
community standard right now as it reads and says quote,
we are committed to making Facebook a safe place. It's
very good. Expression that threatens people, has the potential to
intimidate or exclude or science others, isn't going to be
allowed on Facebook. I want to refer to a photo
up on the monitor right now showing a man holding

(57:09):
a rifle outside of a mosque, intimidating fellow Americans. Mr Zuckerberg,
yes or no? Does this meet your community standards? Congresswoman,
I'm not sure I'm in a position right now to
evaluate any given post against When will you be in
a position if you can't do it? This fucking idiot,

(57:33):
Oh you can't look at a photo of a guy
standing in front of a mosque with a gun. He's
like a Congresswoman, I'm not even sure what the term
gun is or a mosque or a photo to know,
like to give my response, it's he's so like media
trained where he can't even do the fucking easy bit

(57:55):
to be like, oh, yeah, that's if he just went
that's that is actually a failure on my part to
even have something like that up. Absolutely, this is the
exact kind of ship we're trying to take down. But again,
or even just like I would hope so I can't answer,
I don't know for sure because that's not my you know,
but like it looks pretty bad, like this is a photoshop. Um,

(58:18):
I would say this is bad. Um. Then oh god.
So then AOC was talking about all the fucking fake
ass ship political ads that can be on their platform,
and they got into the conversation about, you know, fact checking.
Who you've got fact checking over here? Is it the
Daily Caller? Can you explain why you've named The Daily Caller,
a publication white well documented with ties to white supremacists,

(58:42):
as an official fact checker for Facebook. Congresswoman, Sure, we
actually don't appoint the independent fact checkers. They go through
an independent organization called the Independent Fact Checking Network that
has a rigorous standard for who they allowed to to
serve as a fact checker. So you would say that
white supremacist tied publications meet a rigorous standard for fact checking,

(59:10):
he looks off. A Congresswoman, I would say that we're
not the one assessing that that standard. The International Fact
Checking Network is the one who is setting that. Just
answer that past the bucker Berg prop episode over Yeah,
I mean again, he fucking looked for help from the

(59:34):
other people on like and that on that committee, Like
what did they do? It's funny because also, like ABC
the night before, I was like, hey, what would you
ask Mark Zuckerberg Twitter? Just like DM me or like
reply here, and you'd think, like someone in Zuckerberg's or
it would be aware of that and like comb through
and like what's she gonna ask him? And you'd have
some sort of preparation. But no, Well, I mean this

(59:58):
was a news story that we talked talked about earlier,
like it was in the like it was in the Zeitgeist.
Everybody was talking about the fact that the Daily Caller
was he was having conversations with Tucker Carlson and the
Daily Caller was one of the fact checking resources that
Facebook was using, and then the other ones were like
centrist places, so they just had a right word bias.

(01:00:21):
But yeah, I feel like he's probably not getting a
whole lot of honest, unmediated input. Well yeah, when you
at Cheryl Sandberg helping you out. Um, this is when
Joyce Beaty comes in from Ohio to fucking fully just
finish him, because she's asking like what on the topic

(01:00:43):
of diversity you know with Facebook, let me talk because
you know from the Red mining ship that was happening
through like passively through Facebook to like keep African Americans
from seeing certain advertisements or information whatever. She goes through
all of that, and then this is really when that
he starts collapsing. Now, have you read the report that
Laura Murphy sent to you. You've talked a lot about diversity,

(01:01:04):
and you introduced her name that about this great study
in her work. Have you read it? Do you know
what the recommendations were? Do you know when she issued
the report? Yes? Or no? I've seen the report. Okay,
tell me what the top three things were, because I
have it right here. What were the top three things
in her report? Somebody talks about lying in this committee.

(01:01:25):
I'm only I'm only saying it. Well. One of them
was around housing ads, which we've talked about. The other
was around setting up a civil rights task force. And
who's on the civil rights task force? Cheryl Sandberg is
the person who's civil rights. Okay, girl's not really civil rights.
So I'm trying to help you here. She's CEO, and

(01:01:47):
I don't think there's anything and I know sherl well
about civil rights in her background, So come better than
that for me. If we're gonna talk civil rights. It's
an internal tesk force. You know who the Do you
know who the FIR that you employ for civil rights is? Congressman?
I don't know. How could you not know when you

(01:02:08):
have employed the most historical, the largest civil rights comp
firm to deal with issues that are major. And this
is what's so frustrating to me. It's almost like you
think this is a joke when you have ruined the
lives of many people discriminated against them. Do you know
what percentage of African Americans or on Facebook in comparison

(01:02:32):
to majority folks? Do you know what the percentages are
people using the Facebook? Yes? Do you know what the
percentages are for African Americans? I don't because we don't
collect the Well, it came out in a report and
in the Pew Research Center that was sent to you.
So maybe you just don't read a lot of things
that deal with civil rights or African Americans. I have

(01:02:57):
a lot of questions I'm gonna send to you that
I'm not gonna be able to get through, and I
would like an answer because this is appalling and disgusting
to me, and I yield back. Fuck wow, I mean
that whole her whole five minutes. If you watch the
her whole five minutes, because it's fun from the beginning,
he's getting pressed and he just doesn't know. It just

(01:03:19):
shows you again like this is not this. This is
this person has outsized power and influence and is not
equipped to deal with something like this. And also a
company with this kind of power just shouldn't exist, especially
when you have a singular dude like this is like congresswoman, Um,
we don't collect races. I mean we do, but that's
the data we sell to other people. It's not really

(01:03:40):
for you to know. Um, that's how we were able
to do like sort of redlining things. If Facebook doesn't
really see color, let me see green, right. You know
what if like the the guy who made a website
that was like it's like a directory but you put
it online. What if he shouldn't have that amount of

(01:04:02):
like power welf over large nation. I trust him to
run a website where you can rate the attractiveness of
college students. I don't know if that's where it trusts,
but I mean the ability like that whatever, it's toxic
on its own and that you don't sure what this
amount of savvy he's shown. This ship is just too

(01:04:24):
much like every one of these hearings, just like why
how do we allow this? Like you're one You're one
guy and you don't really know what's going on or
the problems that we're talking about. Um, yet here you are.
I mean, congressman. Um do you like my caesar A

(01:04:45):
do rag last night to try and get some waves? Well,
Ship Cody, it's been a pleasure having you. It's been
a pleasure being here. Um. Where can people find you?

you've been enjoying? Um? Yeah, yeah, Um. This is less
of a joke and more just a I think this
is a great tweet. And it's a reply to a tweet. Um,
it's from Representative Ilhan Omar, who I'll just say I
appreciate a fan of Um. So I'll read the first

(01:06:16):
tweet and it goes like this shares an article from
New York Times. A nine month old died as a
direct result of Trump's cuts to Medicare and CHIP. He
has one of a million children to lose healthcare. Let
that sink in that situation. We all agree health care
is a problem. Trump's making it worse. Her reply about

(01:06:37):
two hours later, asterisk almost died? What the kid almost died?
But the tweet is n withthold died as a direct result,
and like I get it. You forget a word. It's
a big one. Um. And just like it's just so
funny to look at the reply almost died Oh my god,

(01:06:59):
because this is one tweet. It's not even like deleted
and then reposted like anything. That's like correction almost almost. Um,
not that like it makes the story any less, you know,
like I mean a little less, but like it's a
horrific situation. Um. It just really really really tickled me. Etiquette.
I guess, uh, miles people find you find me follow

(01:07:21):

it's a photo from Greg in succession when he's testifying
in front of Congress and it's just the because congressman, congressman.

(01:07:42):
So if you don't don't watch Secession. There's a moment
where the uh what is it? Uh what way Star
roy Co has to go up to Capitol Hill to
explain themselves and Greg goes up. He's so awkward up there,
and the just the sub the caption of like the
text of what he's saying is, um, if it is
to be said, so it be, so it is. You

(01:08:04):

A little bit inside, and then another one from at
Diva Lacey Lacy Moseley, Uh says Slavery mansion tour in Savannah,

we talked about in today's episode, as well as the
song we ride out on miles. What's that going to be? Uh?
This is a track from Gel j E L. Now.
He's a producer from the Anticon label groups like Subtle

(01:09:53):
dost One Down. I don't know if with them. But
the reason I bring this artist up is because there's
been a lot of Kanye West talk and I just
think of when he performed Runaway at the b m
A S and he played it on an MPC and
people thought he was like drumming, like doing the ship
live on there. He was not. People like Gel like
have the skills to play drums on the MPC. And

(01:10:15):
this track is one of those examples. If you're go
on YouTube and search his name j Yell, you will
see some brilliant finger drumming from this man. So this
is Gel sweet cream in it all right. The Daily
How You Guys does a production of I Heart Radio.
