(01:53):
is great, this great? Thank you for having me. Hey,
whenever people point out that they don't have somebody saying,
I always ask what's your favorite Carreoki? You know, recently
I've been doing a Mr Brightside kick okay like everyone
in the UK. Ever, I feel like most times I
hear people like spontaneously break out into Mr Brightside It's
been in the UK. This isn't just a humble brag

(02:14):
to point out how well traveled you. Miles constantly is
talking about I have not only have I heard it
in the UK actually, uh about a few months ago,
actually know less than a month ago, maybe over a month.
And it happened. I was in Florence, Italy and I
heard in Florence. Yeah, really amazing, Yeah it was I

(02:36):
think it was a bunch of guys from Glasgow on
a stag do. Yeah. Miles is the type of guy
who doesn't even refer to it as Europe. He calls
it the continent. Yes, Well, when you have respect for
something you, Dana, We're going to get to know you
a little bit better in a moment. First, we're gonna
tell our listeners what we're talking about today. We're gonna
bid a du to one of the Koch brothers. We're

(03:00):
going to talk about the G seven. We're going to
talk about China announcing they're coming back there, tatting Trump's
tit uh. We're going to talk about an interesting Fox
News segment on recidivism and people getting out of prison.
We're just gonna urge send good vibes to RBG, just

(03:22):
will her to keep living. We're gonna talk about Asap
Rocky playing Trump. We're gonna talk about a super volcano
that might be going to kill us, all all of
that and more. But first, Dana, we like to task
our guests, what is something from your search history that's
reeling about who you are? Oh recently, and this is

(03:43):
because I also do I'm not This isn't me trying
to plug another podcast I do also record here called
Noble Plug It. But recently, that's not you trying to
do that, it's doing it my my search history for
the past twenty four hours has been uh famous poisonings
in history? Yeah? Um, for research purposes, but also for

(04:05):
research purposes. Interesting, what's been been any good ones? I
don't want to the best one. I'm going to do
it as an episode and I record so many. This
is going to be an episode in like January probably,
but I don't want to spoil it. But I do
love lady poisoners. So historically it's sort of the The
cliche is that men when they murder, they do it

(04:26):
with like guns and knives, and women when they murdered,
do it with poison, you know, which is a stereotype
but also historically not a totally wrong one. But also
historically everyone murdered with poison just all the time because
everything was poison and they didn't have good doctors. So
you could poison someone and they'd be like, wow, well
I guess he just does look yeah, it looks like

(04:49):
he died of just his face turning purple and exploiting. Um.
So that's it's been fun and that is very much
in brand for me. I think my Google search history
is looking up famous poisoning, famous famous poisonings. Are there
any deaths that might have been poisoning. People love doing that.
People their favorite thing is going back historically and being like,

(05:12):
this person died, But it was because doctors were so bad.
They would just write things that any if you're if
you want to make a case for any historical figure dying,
you could make it that they were secretly poisoned. Because
he started that rumor himself because he don't his romance. Yeah,
so he I don't want to now get too much
in the weeds. But the movie Imadeus, they sort of

(05:34):
imply that's all ry poison poison. Um, he probably wasn't poisoned,
but when he was dying, he just was such a
weird romantic that he's just sort of floated the idea
of like, I'm getting sick. What if I was poisoned?
That's pretty cool, which is a power move. Yeah. Yeah,
maybe you're not taking care of yourself. Yeah, maybe you're
only drinking alcohol. What if I was being poisoned? Somebody

(06:00):
decides myself with Merlot have a conspiracy theory that Tupac
was poisoned. Interesting right before he was and then right
before that was a coincidence, and it may have made
bullets grow in his chest. What is something you think
is overrated? I fully feel this way, and I think
it's just because of James Bond. Pr martiniz are terrible.

(06:23):
They're horrible. They're like adult shots. No one, why would
you just want it's just vodka? It's horrible, it's so bad.
How did who is their PR? Person we're taking shots
is now in a fancy trim glass and sophisticated. Now Martini, No,
that just means you like vodka. Yeah, no, see, I'd
like salt. That's why I drink Martiniause I get him
so dirty it's basically just salt. Well my theory, I

(06:45):
do like I love olive juice. I like picklebacks, and
I think that a really dirty Martini should be a
different drink. Thank you for a drink that's vodka and
olive juice. I would never drink a regular jin Martini
or regular vodka mar Tina. When I ever ordered, I'm like,
it has to be just dumpster water, like they call
it Mississippi. I think I've heard. Yeah, just like just

(07:08):
fucking filthy. Pip. Actually, bring bring all the olive Brian
and allow me to just have a fucking little just
a whisper of vodka. Yeah, I feel the same. Are
you a pickleback fan? Pack? It's a shot of whiskey,
shot of pickle juice? Gross? No, he's wrong, We're right

(07:29):
kinds uh. If you ever drink eat but tomped half
sour pickles typically can only get it at like markets
where they have like a proper jewish section that Brian
for that one is so garlicky, also an amazing accompaniment
for a pickleback, and also cure it makes the hangover
worse because it's like electrolytes the saltiness. You're just taking
everything away from you, right, Well, what are you gonna do?

(07:52):
What does something you think is underrated? Picklebacks? Pickle backs?
And did you ever drink pickle juice as a kid? See?
I had. I remember being a kid and like eating,
just finishing a jar of pickles and still wanting the flavor.
And then I'd be like, do you know what I
did as a kid? And also as an adult, that's

(08:13):
my weirdest food habit that I feel like every guy
I've ever dated, if we get to a point where
they see me do this, that's when that's when the
relationship well, that's when it makes our breaks. That's the
fork in the road. Yeah, I eat hot chocolate mix,
but just the powder. Yeah, feel you I used to
eat nest quick powder. Yeah, it's the same thing that

(08:35):
it's like the textures like powdery and salt and sweet
but not too sweet, and then it turns to a
paste exactly. I mean we should go to Florida. I
feel like I've had I feel I've reached the point
of like if I have a boyfriend, then I like
rip open a pack and I'm just like pouring powder
down my throat where they're like, who are you? I'm

(08:56):
seeing the really Finally it's just chocolate funded yeah, but
not as sweet and like it's it's a more mature
fun depth. Yes, I'm more mature. It's an adult fun.
How often are you eating dry hot chocolate powder? You know? Not?
I go through phases. If I have it in the house,
I'm gonna eat. So it's not You're like my secret.
Every night I end my night with a nice packet

(09:19):
of Swissmas dry. If I could, I would, but the
thing is it will turn me if I can't. I'm
one of those people that I can't have just one
where if I buy it for myself, I'm gonna eat
the whole box that night, so I can't. I don't
do it that all. You know, we have a lot
of Swissmas packets and yeah, don't don't. Don't tell me
that next time. Next time you're into record, I'm just
gonna fucking tape them to the desk in here and

(09:41):
like do you Yeah, no, that's dangerous. Also then my
podcast will have my mouth like yeah. Also not good
for hangovers. So i'd imagine it's just dry take the
water out of hot chocolate, Like you're what is a myth? Oh,

(10:01):
it's something people think is true, you know, to be false.
I was gonna do like a now a dry historical one.
Is that okay? For people who have not listened to
the podcast that I'm pitching called Noble Blood. The biggest
myth is obviously that Marie Intrinet said let the meat cake,
which is just like the best propaganda line in history
that we're still saying it. Um No, that was just

(10:24):
I mean totally in like a propaganda newspaper, um which
is it's kind of crazy to have a thing that like,
you know, people just sort of assume and even if
they know it's kind of not true. It's still associated
with her, even that was completely made up, which makes
me sad about the state of the world and the
way propaganda works and the way um people talk about

(10:46):
their political rivals. I mean not to make it to come,
but like the way Trump does his like dumb nicknames
for people, and they stick, and even though we repeat
them like ironically, it's like, well, maybe in two d
years they won't know that we were saying them ironic.
That's the way, you know, the it's a very dull
knife that you know history, and so that is, you know,

(11:08):
the most quote unquote basic example I have of history.
But I think it if you dig a little deeper,
it's it's kind of chilling that we still associate her
with that thing that was written in a newspaper totally
unrelated to our life. Yeah, I hope Moscow mix sticks.
But that's just something about history where the humor just
doesn't translate because no one will ever like sometimes you

(11:28):
don't get context. But I'm sure when people inevitably right
this chapter in history, it's like this president was known
for being a fucking idiot on Twitter, who would just
give people random names. I don't know if they'd be
like and then there was pencil neck Adam Schiff. Yeah yeah, wait,
that wasn't his real name, and he became president. But
I think that's true of I believe Caligula is a

(11:53):
lot of like, you know, people are like, oh, yeah,
he fisted horses and stuff. When you think about it,
it's like maybe not, Maybe that's like a crazy rumor
that his rivals made up. And that's what Catherine the
Great obviously, right, that's like one of those things. It's like,
how do we still know it because it's a learn
but like you think about that for one second and
you're like, obviously that's not true, right, And Napoleon being short,

(12:16):
Oh yeah, it was totally normal. Yeah, he was normal
for the time it was like five six. Yeah. That's
the problem with caligulare so many like good, juicy stories,
and they're like these are all fucking just made up
by his enemies, did you know. Weirdly, the way that
like the Popeye spinach thing was because of a printing
error that like they thought that spinach had way more
iron in it than it actually does. It has a

(12:39):
normal plants amount of iron, which is not that much,
but they put the decimal point in the wrong spot.
But don't they still say like if you need iron,
I mean right, okay, like yeah, but it's it's like
if you want iron, usually red meat or less red
meat because the Amazon is burning. So now leafy greens

(13:00):
eat a ton of meat. Just eat a bunch of iron.
Man action figures gets Ryan. There you go. All right,
let's talk about David Coke in memorium. Oh man, you
hate to see it. I hate to see it. So
first of all, the reason we say fun Coke Industries
up top, in addition to them being terrible, is because

(13:23):
they advertised once on our podcast, and we just wanted
to set the record straight. We're not aligned. Advertised they
like had remnant ad. So it wasn't like we were
like reading a Coke brother's ad, but like an ad
made its way a but like for what company? Coke Industries?
That's crazy. Yeah, they're just like, yeah, hey, Coke Industries.

(13:48):
I think I think maybe a fine American industry. You know,
pillars of democracy, I mean I think, yeah, obviously when
not just that, but when you look at sort of
what the what the fucking you know, the coctapus as
they call it, had its arms and fucking everything they
call it that. Yeah, yeah, there's that's a that's the
thing you hear a lot. The fact that they say

(14:09):
that is so peaked, like are we the baddies? Like
when they're like where the coketopus? They don't say that,
but I mean that's whatever you because you imagine like
not it's actually sick Brandon man, but Pio, you say cocktopus,
I'm afraid and then that would be right if you're
trying not to have people mispronounce your name Coke as
cock you shouldn't be from. But look called the cock toopus,

(14:30):
why not? But you know they have their hands in
fucking everything from you know, basically trying to just rip
apart the little bit of democracy we have in this country,
from busting unions to climate change. I mean, let's just
go over. I just want to remind people very briefly.
There's plenty of articles you can read. Will put in
the footnotes if you want to tell people why we

(14:50):
say this by bastards on the Coke brothers in everything.
Their fortune comes from their father who made the money
by opening oil field for Hitler. Really that's their origin story.
And people and then their origin is that their father
had them raised by a nanny who is not proud Nazi. Yeah,

(15:12):
oh my god, you have people would be like back
to workshop. I mean, they were named one of the
top ten air polluters in the United States, just coke
industries in general. Like they outspent x on mobile and
funding climate change denial think tanks and scientists outspent the

(15:34):
fucking gas producer on fucking trying to obscure the argument
on climate change. Look where the funk we are again.
Then you get into Americans for Prosperity, the many, I mean,
they have so many fucking dark groups. There was they
fund you know, so many conservative dark money groups. Americans
for Prosperity love to funk over unions, um like you know,

(15:56):
and getting a lot of the anti union bills that
were passed in like Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan, um and
really like even trying to trigger a constitutional convention to
sort of their whole endgame was like what if we
had like capitalism with fucking no rules at all and
corporations and business is the number one God. I mean,

(16:17):
we're already kind of there, but like fully, like their
dream world was just like a world without government right
and only money. The worst part about them too, well
one the fact that our world has supervillains that are
that ugly and uncreative, like not even like interesting or suave.
But they were playing politically. Republicans play dirty and the

(16:38):
long game. Were like they were doing the gerrymandering and
the voter the suppression, the things that have them win
the Senate, and they've been having the judges. They do
the dirty behind the scenes thing that people don't focus
on that then has the results. You're just like, oh, there,
their groundwork is so good and so for people who

(16:58):
are like, oh, what's wrong with the coaxing? Like they
have fundamentally changed politics in this country, just like with
their outsized influence. If you people don't realize, if you
believe in climate change, then they have been killing our
descendants for the past like four decades. And I'm not
celebrating someone's death, Oh god, no, but I do hope

(17:20):
you're all you can eat ship buffet and hell doesn't
go cold. Well, here's the thing. I saw some well
meaning liberals who I'm not going to name names, being like,
if you're against the death penalty, you and you're celebrating
this man's death, take a look at the mirror or whatever.
But the fundamental difference there is one the death penalty
is the government, which is notoriously racist and bad at

(17:42):
making policies having control over man's life or woman's life,
which I'm like, I'm against that, And the other is
a terrible person who died of natural causes, being old
and being able to say it is a good thing
that this person is not doing bad things in the
world anymore. Exactly right. I wouldn't murder him because I'm
not a murderer, but I'm thinking saying objectively, he was

(18:04):
doing bad things and I'm glad he's not doing You
can say that. Could you say that if you took
the Koch brothers out of the equation, would this country
look a little bit different? I mean, I'm sure there
would be some other group of well funded, you know,
capitalists who would have interfered. But they really swung for
the fences. I mean, when you talk about the long
game and like doing things behind the scenes that were

(18:26):
pretty subtle. They've been like funding libertarian think tanks and
right wing think tanks, like behind the scenes of universities
for a long time like that book Dark Money is
wild just how I mean it is almost creative, like
how how creatively evil they are? Yeah, so you know,

(18:47):
enjoy your vacation, man, m hm, alright, we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back and we're back.
So the G seven formerly the G eight, happened this

(19:08):
past weekend, Is that right? Yeah? Can I be super
dumb and reveal what? Who was the eight that down?
Russia's out? Russia? Russia? Yeah, okay, got it. There's just
a lot of acronyms I want to be yeah in
this in this convo. Yeah, I got it. Now. So

(19:28):
it's Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan formerly Russia, UK US.
That's the seven, which is weird. It's almost like somewhat
arbitrary because China is not in there, which is the
second biggest economy in the world. India is not in there,
which is bigger than at least Italy and will soon

(19:53):
be bigger than the US. Like but Italy bright side karaoke. Yeah,
I mean, in a way, I feel like they should
always to be part of the conversation. But we won't
get people go into that. But I do feel like
it's just like tradition essentially. At this point, it's like
a group of friends who just never stopped like going
out to eat together is like what the G seven
is as opposed to like aunofficial designation. It's your high

(20:15):
school friends. He still you don't really have a lot
in common with them anymore, but you still have to
keep it going right exactly. Well, just like Brazil should
probably be involved in any big conversations, not because I
want Balsonaro to have a seat at the table, but yeah,
people need to be able to have a sock party. Yeah,
you know that's something that's actually coming up is McCrone,

(20:37):
who is president of the G seven this year. It's
just like a rotating thing which country gets to be president.
He was saying that, you know, they're gonna talk about
the fact that the Amazon rainforest is burning down. Yeah,
he's encouraging it, and it's also a form of genocide
against indigenous people rainforest. Yeah, and Balsonaro's pissed, and he said, like,

(21:02):
don't meddle, don't meddle in our situations. Like, I'm sorry, bro,
this fucking actually like the Amazon in a way, we
all need to fucking give a funk about this, right, Um,
so that's going to be something they discuss the fact
that the economy is sort of teetering, might be headed
for a recession. Germany, as I know, is in that

(21:23):
range of Italy is and looking looking rough, and the
UK baby, and then uh yeah whatever happens to be
on Twitter. While Donald Trump feels like he hasn't spoken
in too long, I'm sure he's just so glad China
isn't there. Yeah, because he you know, he likes to
talk a lot of ship, but he does not like

(21:43):
to like fire people in person. He doesn't like to
you know, it's a coward. I mean, he doesn't. He
does not want smoke. Ever, so China made their own announcement.
They announced they're going to be you know, firing back
at Trump. It's kind of clear why he thought trade
wars were easy to win. He didn't think like the

(22:03):
other country was allowed to retaliate in any way or something.
So I'm not sure has an accurate read exactly on
what tariffs are, what a trade war is. I'm just
he's the way he talks. I'm not confident that he
would pass like an ap economics question. Oh no, he
wouldn't fucking I don't. Oh that just blew my mind

(22:25):
to even think that Donald Trump would even be in
an AP class at any point. But like if you
asked him just to say, like, what is a tariff?
I don't think he could give you a straight answer.
It was like, did you watch that video of when
someone asked him what his favorite Bible verse was and
he's like, oh, just all of them. I wouldn't pick
a favorite. It's all so good. They all are so meaningful,
and they're like, no, just just make one one that

(22:47):
you like, and he's like, you know, I don't I
like them all. You love the Beatles? Yeah, I love
the Beatles, so I always with album you know, all
of them, which is classic. Like, but that's all the
books of the vibe, by the way, that's not a
good that's not the right take either. There's a lot
of shitty books in the Bible. Yeah, but that's how
I feel like he approaches economics, which is just like

(23:09):
he can sort of bullshit his way through, yeah, you know,
the supply of the demand. Well, because also you also
like his worldview is America number one. Everyone's scared of America.
So he thinks the reputations sort of precedes him and
can do all this fucking tough guy ship and people
are gonna be like, oh, right, America, but now they're like, dude, no,
you're in charge. Fuck that. Watch this now, Yeah, here's

(23:31):
here's something we will retaliate with our own tariffs. I
don't know why you still keep people still think we're
paying the fucking tariffs the fucking consumer is and even um,
who was it? Uh fuck what China? No, no, no,
there was like one of those banks basically did an
analysis essentially saying that the tariffs are going to cost
American families in additional thousand dollars a year in increased

(23:52):
costs because that's who's fucking paying for these tariffs, not
fucking China. And but they're you know, China knows how
to funk around two because like, yeah, let's let's turn
up the heat on your tariffs in some of these
swing states billion in new tariffs, and it seems like
they're targeted at states that Trump would need to win
in order to win. That's kind of a baller move.

(24:13):
Oh yeah, it's smart, you know, But then it's like God,
but unfortunately it's like at our own expense. He's like, yeah,
man that I'm like, wait, and they're playing us so
well that you're almost like I gotta respect it. And
then they were like, oh no, it's it's making things
harder for us. So yeah, I forgot that we're we're
on Trump side, which is the worst. Yeah. Yeah, sadly,

(24:33):
that's that's the uniform of wearing. That's the shitty thing.
It's like he makes these bad decisions and they make
our life worse. Yeah. And you know, just sort of
his whole overall attitude. I mean, even in the way
he's tweeting about it shows you just what he thinks
his status is, you know what I mean, like he
thinks just some of these tweets that he fired off

(24:54):
hereby order, Yeah, the all US companies leave China's big
Michael Scott declaring, I declare bankruptcy. It's exactly and again
he's saying, we must say okay, so he goes on, Uh,
our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start

(25:18):
looking for an alternative to China. An alternative to China
hereby ordered to start looking, Yeah, to start looking in
about two in about two weeks. His favorite duration of time,
including bringing your companies home and making your products in
the USA. I will be responding to China's terrace this afternoon.
This is a great opportunity for the United States. Also,

(25:39):
I am ordering all carriers, including FedEx, Amazon, Ups, and
the Post Office to search for and refuse all deliveries
of fentanyl from China. Oh my god, he's really I mean,
he's starting to realize how little power maybe he actually has.
Who is I hate to quote some political theorists that

(26:01):
now I can't remember who, but someone smarter than me
home quoting uh talks about that the president has the
power to persuade, that they have the pulpit, right, I mean, yeah,
but like that idea that he fundamentally doesn't understand the
power of the presidency and how to use it. He
thought he was going to be king when he became president,
Like he thought he would just get to say everything

(26:22):
that happened and everybody would have to agree with him.
And like the descent really seems to have taken him
by surprise. Well because yeah, and well, and he has
such this transactional idea of like how power works too,
It's like I do this for them, then they fucking
pledge their undying loyalty to me, and then I give
my coalition of loyal fucking sick of ends and then
we take over the world. Can I just say I'm

(26:43):
very proud of Taylor Swift, who, in a Guardian interview
I think today, said that, like, she really disagrees with Trump,
and she's like, he acts like an autocrat and he
thinks that dissent that he conflates loving him with loving
the country, and uh, disagreeing with him is hating the country.
And she's like, and that's not good. And I'm like, okay, great,
hop in a time machine and say that. But yeah,

(27:05):
of course, of course I think that's important because she
really did go from like to like slowly turning the
knob up of like this is where I am, which
I get it, you know, but I think fans she
wants to make money. I'm like, I get it, and
I'm proud of her saying this, But I almost feel like,
unlike Trump, I'm like, Taylor, you actually you could say
anything and I think everyone will be like, yeah, great, great.
I kind of hope that he tweets about her because

(27:28):
her fan army on Twitter. I've been at the receiving
end of them. God so has Jesus and Marrow and
they're racist, so maybe they will be like they get
why they're I mean, look, it's like any you know,
rabid fan base, just like when the Bee Hive went
after the girlfriend of the owner of Oh My God,
Yes and like her manager to be like Beyonce would

(27:49):
not spread this kind of love, remember that hive? But
you know, uh no, I hope he tweets about Taylor Swift.
I think it's possible, considering the amount of just completely
like disconnected from reality tweets and like lines of thought
he's been going down on Twitter. Even his that rant
extended to basically then like blaming the FED for what's

(28:11):
happening with China. No mention of the fact that you
started this dumb fucking trade war and you're mad that
the people like punched you back a few times. Didn't
he say trade wars, I quote are easy, very easy,
to be very quick, very easy. And and then also
he doesn't realize he's going up against a leader who
does not face elections, right, who is autocrat, who can

(28:36):
just say this is what we're gonna do, and it
happens there is no hitting Ji jimping and swing states
to like, you know, get him off his footing. But
everything is so personal with him. He was like, we
have a great relationship. He really like thought that he
liked him, And it's just like, what the funk? Man?
How is this how you view the world? But we

(28:57):
you know, it's it's funny, how like he sort of
always have this cycling like what if the funk was
he what did he think was going to happen? But
this is just always this has been it from day one,
and I mean one of the biggest things to get
his mind around during his first year of presidency was
that it was worth it for America to have a

(29:18):
military base in South Korea because he thought it was
too expensive. Right, He's like, why can't we just like,
can we just stopped there? Like well, but you can
see a nuclear weapon from North Korea within five seconds
and if we weren't there, it would be fifteen minutes.
And he's like, yeah, but it's too expensive. I think
I think nothing sort of reveals his thinking about how

(29:39):
to be a quote unquote good president. Then the Mars
thing and the Moon thing and the Green thing. I
think he wants a early twentieth century. He wants Yeah, well,
he wants like a thing that is doesn't mean anything
in the world, but that everyone in America can be like,
that's a thing we did because he thinks that that

(30:00):
is good for him as a president. I think he
wants an easy win, whether it's like a trade war,
which he's learning is not an easy win. And so
he's like, Okay, I'll just like plant my dick flag
on something. What if we agreed to put him on
the penny that right? And then he was because they're
already basically facing pennies just are fucking No, there's no

(30:24):
way he'd be the same it's the same color because
he doesn't I know. But like there gave him one
game a bunch, right, here's seven billion dollars a million
and were there. Man, he's just looking at it every
day the election happens. He wasn't even campaigning. He's like,

(30:47):
do you see this million dollar bill? That's exactly what
the type of thing he wants. You're also out of office. Yeah.
That a New Yorker profile that somebody wrote of him
five years before he was running for president. Uh. He
has all these like knick knacks that he loves to
show off, like Mike Tyson signed that. Mike Tyson gave
that to me, said we're very good friends. And yeah,
so like his face on his face on a million

(31:10):
dollar bill would be the sort of thing that like
his time Man of the Year, like before he actually
was designated, that would be like he probably had the
the mirror one. Yeah. Well, you know, um King Trump.
You know, thoughts and prayers to you as you were
through this a difficult time of slowly letting reality start

(31:33):
trickling onto your face. You know, I realized if he
died of natural causes, there would be no way his
fans wouldn't think he was poisoned. Not the fact that
he's like a seventies something man who eats McDonald and
has never walked in his life. There's no easy way
out of this presidency because he's not gonna admit he
lost an election. Uh, he's if he died, they would

(31:55):
think that he was assassinated. There's no good way out.
We're already unless he's like, you know what, fuck Earth,
I'm going to the moon. And then he gets into
spaceship and he's like, y'all are two poor and they're like, damn,
that's where we should go. And then they're like, Okay,
we believe that he's gonna do. He's not going to
gracefully hand over at the White House. It's going to
be terrible. It's gonna be I'm anxious thinking about election

(32:18):
dating now. But you know, like last week, we know
one of our guests. Things going to happen sooner or later.
So we're gonna deal with it either now or God
forbid and another fucking four years or whatever. But like
I'd say, like twelve years. I mean, look, I think
I'm gonna serve for about fourteen years for life. He's old.
He's so old. He tans and has fake teeth and

(32:40):
does everything he can to look less old. But he's
so old. Uh does he have dentures are just really good?
Veneer implants. You look at his bottom teeth and they're
not real because they at times they're like, oh, maybe
someone's going on with his denty right when he when
he started slurring and people, are he having a stroke
like that, what's going on? His fingers crossed? Yeah? He has.

(33:04):
I mean you just look at his teeth on camera
and like they're not real, right, So his worst nightmare
would be to have his true pale skin, the wind
blowing on his comb over, and his teeth not in
ye would probably be similar today. I mean, think about
how he would look with white He dies his hair, obviously,
because he's in his seventies and no man doesn't have

(33:25):
white hair by that point. He would look so old
with white hair. Yeah, it was weird to remember when
he slicked his hair back and for a second look
like a normal person. That was the most frightened that
It was for a moment, and it became if I
google Trump hair slicked back, Yeah, you'll see because after
he's like, no, I haven't seen that looks like a

(33:47):
normal person though. That's so weird looking. Yeah, I can't
believe I missed this photo. It was a very passing
moment because then something terrible and racist happened, right, and
then everyone's attention like, what did the photo? He looks
so weird. Yeah, It's like when a celebrity has a
middle name that everyone calls him by, and then you
get rid of the middle name and it sounds weird.

(34:08):
Joseph Levett, Joseph Levitt, and that's this is the Joseph
Lovett of Trump Jonathan Thomas. Yeah, you're like, yeah, who's
Jonathan Thomas works at Arby's the Yeah, well again, all
of this, you know, more and more mounting evidence as
to why this president needs to be completely you know,

(34:28):
replaced and you know, impeached. Maybe even that, how about that,
how about we start taking action because again I don't
know where this road is leading, because he's clearly wanting
to puff his chest up at China. They seemingly are
also have a game plan. Do you think he's gonna
find I was surprised that they are going after him
in that targeted fashion where they're trying to get him

(34:51):
to lose the election. I mean, that's obviously just a theory,
but you'd think that they would enjoy just like completely
being like five moves ahead of the American president. Although
you know Devil's advocate those coincidence, swing states are also manufacturers,
Like that's the reason they were swing states, and the
reason he one is because like people who with factory jobs.

(35:14):
And that's also why the agricultural stuff too was like
right and farmland, which is heavy you know, Trump country,
So these are everything sort of like it might just
be an added perk for them that they get that
little thing. But it also could be that they're hitting
the states that have the biggest manufacturing right because they're like, Oh,
your weakness is that you have elections. What's this? Well,

(35:34):
not only make you look like a fucking ship bag,
you're gonna lose it on Twitter, and then we're also
going to go after you strategically in a way that
who is actually who is he going to blame the
stock because he's been a big like the stock markets
good because of me? Who's he going to blame the
stock market going? Did you see the tweet on Friday?
He did, like again because the end of the world

(35:55):
is going to be something that somebody's joking about. He
did a tweet where the stock market went down by
like what was seventy three on Friday, and he tweeted
like it's a shame that what's his name dropped out
of like some he said, perhaps he's like the Dow
is down five seventy three points, perhaps on the news
that Representative Seth Malden whoever that maybe has dropped out

(36:17):
of psidential race. The only good tweet he's ever done.
It's pretty funny, but at the same time, because it's
funnier if he wasn't the president, right, and it's taking
the piss out of himself because it's like, yeah, there's
no way I'm going to admit that this is all
my fault, So I'm going to pretend like it's some

(36:38):
complete nobody. Wait, who is Seth Malden? What was he?
Was he in the debates? I don't think he made
a debate stage. Oh man, oh god. Trump would have
been so much funnier if he was just like a
harmless racist screaming in the world and not the president. Yeah,
that's unfortunately. I wish we could just laugh at him.

(36:59):
And it pains me so much that he has. That's
like the kind of the trouble of even like you know,
commenting on his presidency, Like on one hand, like there's
so much to just be like, wow, what an idiot,
but it's also to kind of deflect the true horror
that we're witnessing, like this is just disintegrating so much
of like you know, even like it was shitty before

(37:21):
him and that's getting shittier and it's like, okay, well then,
um let's laugh during the fire a little bit too.
But also it you know. That's why I always trying
to like underline too that this is you know, these
are all existential threats to our long term stability and
our ability to have abundance and be productive going forward

(37:41):
in life. Well, speaking of the existential threats, Ruth Bader
Ginsburg had another shut up, Jack, shut up, don't don't
say it, don't make it real. Malignant tumor treated in
August or at the beginning of this month. I don't
know if we keep her medically a lie. I've but
she's like brain dead but like there's still blood, Like

(38:04):
her heart is still beeping beeping. Does that Cavien? No? Okay, no,
But um, I would recommend to the people on the
left check out the movie Dave. Let's Dave her fine?
Um where the President? No, not with Christopher Columbus Miles.

(38:26):
I think you mean have you seen his coked out
audition for Mamma Mia Chris cris Kin, Dude, He's like, yo,
oh man, I'm loving it in here. He's way too
desperate for American Pie. Yeah, um, I digress has the
same character from American Pie. Yeah, bumblebee, bumblebee, bumblebee. Yeah.

(38:49):
Kevin Klein where the president has a heart attack and
they have to bring out his lookalike to keep It's
a really funny movie. Sigourney Weavers the first lady who
is fucking I'm let's say yeah, yeah, yeah, we said
I forgot She like Fox Dave kind of knowing that
it's Dave, right yeah, which is like, you haven't looked

(39:13):
at my legs any years? I remember there's and she's
like she gets out of the shower, right yeah. And
my favorite bit where he's at a like an automotive
plant with using robotic arms and he's like, I once
caught a fish. This big arms got nine all right anyway,
classic classic Dave of stuff, classic Dave stuff. Dave is
really a parable about swinging. Well, that's it because Face

(39:38):
Off is another movie where the wife fox a dude
who's posing as her husband and nobody like she doesn't
notice it, or she's like that was amazing or something
like that, but it's like, well, wouldn't you know that
that's not your husband? Or maybe you kind of want
not to know, yeah, but you kind of that's right.

(39:59):
He fucking die because he was having an affair the
original place having an affair and so They're like, we
can't remove this dude crazy. They don't want this story
to come out that he was one, that he had
a heart attack, because I think they don't like the
vps the villain and then they don't want the affair

(40:20):
to come out. Just tell the mistress to leave the
room and then be like he's dead. Well, I think
that they don't him to be dead, and also they
know it would come out. They'd be like, well, where
did he die? Said he was? You mean like with Scalia. Oh,
he was just at a hunting. He's still there. He's

(40:43):
on vacations. You know. I don't think. I think there's
really bad sell service up there. Right anyways, look into it.
You were going to say something, and I was, I
I don't think I was. Oh, I was saying I
like the movie, Dave, and I also like the movie
Wag the Dog, similar promise of the black who Trump

(41:03):
would call the deep state manipulating the president. Yeah, Dave
and Wagged the Doctor both about the deep state Trump ship.
Oh Man, Fox News, please just play those films. Give
him some ideas. He's like, I was just watching this amazing,
riveting documentary, Dave, that one of our past presidents President
Harrison Mitchell, Well, is that his name? And Dave William

(41:28):
Harrison Mitchell say, yeah, Bill Mitchell, I mean that doesn't
mean anything. Uh Well, speaking of Fox News, I just
wanna hear this one clip of their woke drug comment.
Allow me to give you some Let's give some context first,
because it's just such a stupid, fucking take, Because the
Board of Supervisors in San Francisco, they're looking at language

(41:51):
guidelines to uh stop using words like felon, offender, convict, addict, juvenile,
delinquent because they're like, you know what, people get this
tag of felon or whatever, it becomes much more difficult
to get employed and things like that. They don't want,
you know, just walk around with the scarlet letter. So
they're using words like, uh, you could be called a
formally incarcerated person or justice involved. And they're they're like

(42:15):
I read like another like op ed and a conservative
news like fucking website, and they're like, oh, so we're
gonna call thieves enthusiastic shoppers. Um, but that's not the point,
because recidivism is a very huge problem in this sort
of like you know, endless cycle of prison systems. Um.
But I just want to point out there was a
study that was done that you know, immediate employment is

(42:36):
a huge factor in reducing recidivism UM and that you
know before there weren't many studies into it because the
prison industrial complex is so profitable. UM that about twenty
reduction in a return to crime for people who were
able to find jobs immediately, and then like the numbers
go even down sort of over time. So you know,

(42:56):
they're using studies like that to say, yes, we have
an issue where people come out of prison, they have
no options because of the way they're labeled by society,
and that inevitably have to turn back to crime and
the cycle continues. Of course, the right doesn't like that
because the private prison industry cuts them many checks for
their candidates. So incomes this fucking lobbyist and think tank

(43:17):
guy from like go Pack or some ship, and he's
like trying to spin this whole thing on how like
this is just the beginning of the end um but
also has a very he's very experienced with drug use,
clearly from some of the things he says. California has
tried to clear out their prisons and yet every year
they continue to have overcrowded prisons, and the focus ought

(43:38):
to be on a society that follows the law, not
allowing people to defecate in the streets, not allowing individuals
to lay on the street having just shot up with
marijuana and having harold and having a needle sticking out
of them. We ought to be focused on solving crime.
And I just shot up with Marilyn Manson and I mean,

(43:59):
like all so that like, obviously, yes, there is a
problem with people deficating in the streets in this country
at what but also there's a homelessness situation in these
areas too that I like that they always connect San
Francisco to like, well, people poo in the streets because
it's liberal, Like it's sort of like the weird argument
that's always sort of tenuously connected. I guess so angry.

(44:20):
I feel like I'm like, this is the thing that
makes me so mad, the thing about homelessness or people
like if we make it hard enough and unpleasant about
to be homeless, and then they'll just not be homeless anymore.
It's not like like high schoolers like drunk driving or
like you know, like I don't know, like high schoolers loitering,
like a thing that they don't have to do. It's
like you're not addressing that is your life, homelessness and

(44:42):
making it harder and more unpleasant to be homeless is
just making it harder and more unpleasant for homeless and
probably harder for them than to When you look at
all the things that are so entrenched into why that happens,
it's like, well, we can't give people proper, you know,
medical care or mental health assistance because of the way
that you know, like healthcare industry is completely fucked up.
And then you can't even address like housing crises because

(45:03):
the banking industry is so tied up in like exacerbating
that issue. So it's like, yeah, let's just let's just
avoid the root causes and blame this other thing and
just throw our attention to that same thing with immigration,
where it's like, well, maybe if we treat these people
like subhumans, these other people who have no other recourse
except to flee their country, maybe just will stop doing
it rather than like what's going on there. And it's

(45:23):
also like I think I remember reading somewhere that there
was an experiment maybe in like Utah, where they just
like gave homeless people places to live, Like what if
we just fixed homelessness by giving them homes and it's
saved so much money in the long run, where even
if you're so clinical and you're like I guess a
libertarian Republican who doesn't think that, who doesn't care about

(45:43):
like people's lives is more just like it's about the money.
It is cheaper to give them homes than to keep
paying for their emergency room visits, and like the way
the system becomes clogged with with homeless people, if that
is your motivating factor and not like basic human decency,
it's still works in the favor of just helping them,
because you want to basically make people who are needy

(46:04):
look like evil people. Yeah, exactly, And that's just to
paint them with this brush there like oh, if you're poor,
it's because you're lazy and you have no and I
think the idea is, well, you give them free stuff,
they won't do anything. And all those studies show that
people are literally just looking for the stability because most
people do have pride in themselves that they do not
want to be in that situation. And I'm sure even
those people who are like oh my god, I mean

(46:25):
like they're just gonna take free stuff. I bet even
those purposes, God forbid, they found themselves in a situation
where they were homeless, they would probably do what they
could to get out of it, rather than be like, actually,
know what funk it. Let's just like let's just live
and squalor and take these little checks and we're great.
You need an address to apply for a job. And
then like people get arrested and then like their court dates,

(46:46):
like if they don't have to fix address, they miss
their court dates. These things keep adding up. Then they
get arrested, then they get incarcerated, and then they have
a history, like it keeps compounding this. I'm so sorry
I'm going on a rant. But the system is so
built against just actually making them if your goal is
to make them become like functional members of society, the
way the system is designed now and the way they

(47:07):
approach it of just like villainizing them is the exact
opposite of how you would do. Well. Yeah, but then
like you say, that creates inmates for a prison industry
that creates more money, and like emergency care that people
can charge the government. It's just all you know, and
a common enemy for like decent, hard working Americans, not
these freeloading slackers. It's like you could be like, I'm
not a freeloading slacker, and then you feel selfrightened when

(47:29):
most people in this country are hanging by a fucking threat.
All right, we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. And I was confused by
the Asap Rocky story about him, you know, getting arrested

(47:52):
and then the President Donald Trump getting him out of prison,
and like how those two hook up. The story is
um very interesting because so we're learning new details, right. Yeah.
I think, like most people, we thought, oh, Kim Kardashian
must be like back channeling all of this stuff to
try and get a SAP out, But that is not

(48:13):
the case at all. And this is actually, uh, you know,
asap Rocky in the past has not had some of
the best political takes. I remember when he was like
he's literally said all lives matter, and like, you know,
I said, like I don't know if I can I
really understand what or something about Cosby. He defended Bill Cosby. Yeah,
so look, he's not a necessarily political luminary, let's say,

(48:38):
but you know, the him being incarcerated became a huge,
huge thing of public interest. And what happened was there
were um, two people Darryl Scott, who's this Ohio pastor
who was constantly caping for Trump. He's like the person like, actually,
Donald Trump has been the most pro black president of
all time. That's like, okay, sit your ass down. Um.

(48:59):
And another man by the name um who like works
within Kareem lan Year. Um. They were the ones like who.
Basically they were approached by this like celebrity fixer after
asap Rocky got arrested, and they were saying like, hey,
like you know the president, like this could be a
good opportunity for him, because you know, he thinks if
you do something one good thing for one black person,

(49:20):
all black people will instantly forget that you're racist. Um.
They're like, this could be a good opportunity for the president.
So then they sort of sent that up the chain
like Okay, yeah, maybe this this could be a good look.
Then Um, asap Rocky's manager was approached and they said, okay,
we've we've got something for you. How about the President
tries to help you out to get your client asap

(49:41):
Rocky out of prison. On the condition that when he's
out he publicly thanks Mr. Trump. And the quote that
his manager gave was quote, if a serial killer gets
Rocky out of jail, I would have no problem saying
thank you to the serial killer. Um, but I guess
they you know, you know, that's just good time. That
hard up for like body to like you, that they

(50:01):
compare you to a serial killer and you're like good enough.
That should have been there indicator. It sounds like we're friends.
That should have been the first indicator of how asad
Rocky's camp was looking at even Donald Trump. Yeah, it's
like okay, great, So they worked their magic. He gets out,
but radio silence from Asap Rocky and immediately they were

(50:21):
trying to reach out. The two men who were like
the connective tissue to Trump, they said they immediately began
reaching out to Rocky's team within hours of his release.
They were expecting to thank you. Quote, we didn't get
a call. We don't get a call at all. When
they finally got his manager on the phone, one of
the men said, the rappers manager quote started making all
these excuses about Rocky needing time to travel and rest,

(50:41):
and then he said, I hope you guys, aren't going
back on what you said you were going to do
to the fucking ironic music because guess what, my man,
there is there's no thank you, so you can kiss
that one. I hope he tweets mean things about a
Rocky now, like he's like ferg was actually probably the
best one of that crew, and also a Sam's days

(51:03):
if we're canceling it. Fums. Oh what if he said
that he's like fucky ms, I'm serious, dude, then he
would really get all this smuke. He really would. All right, guys,
let's talk about a preview of things to come. Super volcanoes. Uh,
so is that the vaporizer. It's probably a vaporizer. But

(51:26):
once every two point one million years, a super volcano
will go off. There are ten of them or eleven
of them around the globe and or twenty scattered around
the planet. And the last time one went off with
six hundred thousand years ago. Uh. It is basically like

(51:47):
there will be huge earthquakes and then the sky will
just like go dark because of how much magma will
come out of the Earth that would hot magma. Mama,
and the nearest one is under yellow Stone and great
I mean it doesn't. It's almost like saying near in
this case, it doesn't make a difference at all, because

(52:08):
it doesn't matter as long as it's on the Earth. Yeah,
well it so it would cover most of the Midwest
in ash, like in three ft of ash. Uh that
this was in an op ed in the New York Times.
But so they they're basically saying that this so it's
an opinion, Yes it's yeah, one of those scientists. It

(52:28):
just writes about his opinions. Opinions. Um. He talks about
them as ultrack catastrophes that would lead to global devastation
and even human extinction, like a major asteroid impact, global
nuclear war, or super volcano, a super eruption of one

(52:49):
of these super volcanoes. And he basically is making the
point that the volcano is the one that's most likely
to happen in our lifetime, but we are our current lifetime,
as in everyone listening more, it's more likely mathematically statistically
than the asteroid impact. But the asteroid impact is the

(53:10):
one that we've had a bunch of movies about. Basically,
I have a question, is this something that it would
happen and we'd all die instantly? Because that's the way
I want to People near there probably would, yeah, people
real close by would, people who lived in the surrounding
states would, but we would just have a slow, painful day.
You have a slow See that's the worst because also

(53:32):
then the people who are like like have like survivalist things,
then they get to be smug, right, yeah, exactly. People
who have been storing gases for like years, they're like,
ha ha honey, They're like, yeah, but what about your
fifty dollars in beanie babies? Asshole? What about Okay, I
took on those, but you know what, like people with
canned food, he's like, I've been waiting for this. They

(53:52):
get to feel really excited and I don't want that.
I don't want to live in that world. And Baker
people and her survival buckets. Well, so the article I'm
just something to look for. The reason I think this
is a preview of things to come is because you
remember the year when Armageddon and Deep Impact came out
in the same year. The reason people think the reason

(54:12):
both those scripts got written and like made around the
same time was because of a news story that had
happened on like one of the main news channels like
nine years before, so nine years from now, I feel
like there's gonna be a year of super volcano movies
because this is like a it's it's a very vivid peak.

(54:35):
We had the success of John snow Pompei movie. The
volcano movies have not done that because volcanoes are so boring,
that's slow. Dante's Peak was the same year as Volcano.
Joe Versus the Volcano. Well, that's a great movie. Well,
but I think it's a great movie because the volcano
doesn't happen. I still have a promotional bag from Joe

(54:57):
Versus the Volcano that my mom got in the eighty
more yeah live around that time. I think it was
made by Orion Pictures because it still has an old
Orion logo on and it's a usable bag that to
this to this day that my family uses. Good for you, Yeah,
that they made a Pumpei movie that did very portly,
I think, yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's so many good stories.

(55:17):
It wasn't one guy like masturbating when but that's not
a good story because everyone dies. Everyone has to be
like an art art film or something where it's like
you see that same moment for people all over the
place because it's like sliding doors or some sliding doors.
And yeah, but I don't think you can make a
blockbuster where everyone's like Titanic, that's true. Did you see

(55:41):
the article that people like the Titanics like falling apart?
And they're like, motherfucker, that's just sank over a hundred
years ago in the fucking sea. It looks like ship.
You get like, I was like, I never thought it
looked that good to begin with, first of all, deteriorating.
What are we gonna do? Like, y'all, I don't know
if you've seen the Acropolis, it's a mess. What are

(56:01):
we going to do about it? What happened there? Everyone?
What happened time? No? Yeah, they're like, we last saw
it forty years ago and it looked better than it
does now. And it's like, well you have being forty
years under the sea, that did you look forty years ago?
Like it was fourteen years ago and the last time
that anyone was down there was James Cameron. Wait, what
do you mean fourteen years ago that somebody was down

(56:23):
in in like diving around the Titanic, remember, because he
made the Titanic, But then he also got really into
like diving titan I'm pretty sure he only made Titanic
because he really wanted to die down part of it.
Didn't that obsession create new like submersible technology nailed at all.
He that's he does that a lot in films. I

(56:45):
went James Cameron. I went on a tour of his
workshop once, which is a quotes because it's not really
a workshop. It's like a airplane hangar where he keeps
like it's a van. No, they all that the workshop.
It was like a press thing James Cameron, like you know,
ten reporters and it's like, uh, just little things from

(57:08):
all of his movies and he just keeps like the
thing from Aliens, like the I don't know, and all
the models of the Titanic, and he just seems like
he just there's a dude who happens to make movies
that really loves the stuff toys, making cool things. Yeah,
he's just yeah, he just loves I'm a collector who

(57:28):
just got into filmmaking. That's a good way to get
access to Yeah, the kind of that's what it felt
like like real, like was it real? Did you have
any stuff from the Titanic in there? Like from the
that not that they showed us. Maybe in his personal home.
Probably he's like, this is the wheel. Did meet him? Yeah,
he was Jim Jim. But here's the thing I wanted.

(57:50):
I thought he was nice. But he was nice because
he's like an old man meeting a few reporters like,
I don't think I would want to be married to him. No,
why would you get What was the sense you got from?
I have it, but just from stories, he's not. He's
a controlling but I think now that he's of an
agent status where he gets to do whatever he wants.
I think back in early in his career when he
had to yell at people, he was not a pleasant person,

(58:12):
but now he's he's James. I bet now he's a
pleasant person to be around because everyone says yes to.
One of the early like things he did in filmmaking,
he was, I think, working on the set of a
horror movie and they wanted to have a shot with
like a bunch of like worms and grubs in it,
and he was like, they're not wriggling enough, so he

(58:34):
just electrocuted the whole thing of grubs and so they
would like start crawling over each other, and which is
brilliant but also really cruel, and I think a good
kind of description of how he treats people in his movies.
He will just like like when you look back at
the Abyss, he's like talking about like how how fun
it was, and everyone's like almost drowned night. Yeah. Yeah,

(58:56):
people almost got that thing, like they were breathing water,
like the technology was that, like they would learn to
breathe in fluid like the premise of the movie. Right,
but I'm saying, like, but even having that in your
head and like so the actors are like in these
suits that are like filling up, Like wouldn't the helmets
fill up liquid? I'm sure that would stress. Yeah. Yeah, man,

(59:18):
bring it back. It was getting so good. It was
never getting I mean it got so wacky though. I
was like, well we'll hold on, because before I decided
there was some weird show and now we're dealing with
like some other dimensions dudes on a dollhouse. I'm so
mad that they canceled it just because like they canceled it.
O A is d o A. No one made joke.

(59:39):
It's just like no one, no one else is making
shows that weird. Yeah, right, more weird things in the world.
I mean, I think they should do a flash mob
to bring it back with the dance movement, the movement
of the movie, the climax of it. Because he knows
the show creators and he's sealthy, not salty, so I

(01:00:01):
can't wait for this to stop. There's Jack actually had
the idea for Jack telling about your stole it from me. Yeah,
he was talking about all these nd ease he had
and your death experiences at water parks, and they're like,
hold on, I will say, there's guys I hooked up
with and now I can never watch anything even tangentially

(01:00:23):
related to them because it makes me viscerally upset. Yeah,
what do you mean? Like who are these people you're dating?
But I canna say it on the damn Okay, I
mean that I live in Los Angeles like people in
the world, I'm the only thing that reminds you of
X is like an empty TV box. I mean like, oh,
I can't watch and she's like, I hooked up with
a guy and now I can't watch any of Lebron's games.

(01:00:47):
Kind of sty for me, especially when he came to
the Lakers. I'm like, of all the towns really Lebron
here first, I moved here, asshole. Uh let's talk about
the new socialist very vision of monopoly. Uh wait, wasn't
that's so interesting because originally monopoly, wasn't it supposed to
It was supposed to be a no, that's fine, that's

(01:01:10):
that's a good point. It was originally meant to warn
against monopoly, and also there were rules you could follow
that were more socialists and would make it so that
everybody wins. But now, in sort of a fever dream
version of what the person had in mind, Hasbro has

(01:01:31):
made a version of monopoly that is basically designed to
make fun of socialism. Social Uh. It draws on old
fashioned Cold War era iconography, denigrates universal healthcare, veganism. It's
just like ships on the left in general. Um, and yeah,

(01:01:52):
but it's it's not like something that like Ben Shapiro
made with his friends. It's has which makes I mean,
it's just odd and like, yeah, okay, I get it.
There's some corporations like, man, this can maybe help obscure
the conversation and maybe we can sell some stuff to
the right. But the game was originally invented by a
leftist Elizabeth Maggie I think who wanted to highlight the

(01:02:15):
evils of accruing vast sums of wealth at the expense
of others. And then her game was stolen by Charles
Darrow who sold it to Parker Brothers, so she didn't
even They eventually paid her five hundred dollars for her
um for the game. Shears or in No, it's like

(01:02:38):
but it's like if you ever if you play Monopoly,
you know that the point of it already is that
once someone gets like properties and has that, then it
makes it cripplingly difficult for the other players, which is
right that the game is and this one is the
point to like, if you land on Venezuela, you starve
to death? Right, Oh didn't they Also they made like

(01:02:58):
Monopoly for millennials that was like with Snapchat, and and
they try I feel like they're trying with like it's
the same with Oreos. Now. Oreo has like like Sarasta
flavored orios, like I think Monopoly is just being like,
please buy our game. Some of those oris are very good,
are they? Which ones? Lemon? No birthday birthday cake is

(01:03:20):
the red velvet is not terrible. It's all right. I
was in the UK on the continent as we call it.
That wouldn't be the continent, that would be the UK.
That's true. Sorry Jesus Christ on the island, but I
wasn't a castle in Scotland. It's true. But they have
chips which are the best flavors in the whole world

(01:03:42):
because they have really weird flavors. It would be like
roast chicken flavored potato chips and it tastes like roast
chicken stili. Then they have like um pork barbecue pork
so good and it tastes like it, and that it
was unbelievably good flavors, like super specific, weird detailed chip flavors. Hey,
Fridolay's bring the Walkers crisps flavors to America because the

(01:04:05):
closest you have, the closest you can get them is
in fucking Canada and that's where you get the roasted
chicken I think is one of my favoritast chicken is unbelievable.
That was unanimously our favorite. Yeah, because it has the
proper like roasting too. It's like, oh, I think there's
time and roast. It's so good And I'm a skept deck.
Are you yeah. I was like, this is going to

(01:04:25):
be great, sure, and then you're like, oh my god.
It was like don't they have ketchup flavors and prawns
prawn cocktails? Yeah? Oh yeah. Our homies uh and from
Toronto sent us a Canadian chip back. Someone send me
a chip bag please. Yeah, it was catch up? What
else was there in that bag? That care package all dressed,

(01:04:47):
which is like catchup and everything. Look, I'm probably sucking
this all up, just all the condiments, just like a mixture. Yeah,
hold on, all dress. I like that in the in
the in the UK and in Europe, mayonnaise is more
socially acceptable. Yeah, it's good. All dressed chips in Canada
are barbecue catch up, sour cream and onion and salt
in vinegar all mixed together. That sounds good. Yeah, it's

(01:05:10):
just flavor, you know what I mean, just flavor. But
that's how I feel about Monopoly, which is that they're
just doing whatever and this is so misguided. And yeah,
our writer j M said, why even keep making new
niche versions of Monopoly when they've clearly already peaked and
included a picture of Monopoly the Golden Girls. What. Yeah,

(01:05:32):
there's a Golden Girls version of Monopoly. That's the only
time I've ever thought about buying Monopoly is when it's
completely intersected with the thing that I love, and I'm like, oh, yeah,
maybe just to collect it, like Star Wars Monopoly or
some ship like that. Yeah, it doesn't make it like
because it's not like a trivia game, right, So the
properties are properties just have new names and maybe the

(01:05:55):
p and the pieces are probably unique to play pieces,
so it's not just the shoe or the car. Fun Yeah,
where the thimble? Right, the Golden Girls probably does have
a thimble. Do you have a favorite board game growing up? Um?
I had, so. I got really good at um you
know Labyrinth, the thing it's like a marble that has Okay,

(01:06:18):
well you made that deep Joe versus the Volcano reference. Damn,
I've seen a movie. Yeah, I thought you were my people. No,
this is even old people. But this is like a
it's like a board sort of a is it a
video game? I don't know. No, No, it's got it's
like a wooden box that grow in the Great Depression exactly.

(01:06:40):
So he's you get a wooden and you push it
with another stick down the road. You see great fun,
great fun. That was good. Strtigo I liked. Yeah, Strtigo,
I liked. You know, it was the thing that you know.
It like moves on two vertices and you control. It's
like a maze with a steel balls. Maybe if I
saw it, It's like the kind anyway, if you see

(01:07:00):
a toy stores that don't sell actual toys, like you know,
their best toys. Anyways, I could go all the way
to the end and back. I feel like I asked
you for a board game and you gave me this
weird pan another board game, I was really good. I

(01:07:21):
loved Shoots and Ladders UM and a Trivial Pursuit. I
don't know if it counts as a board game, but
I I guess it does. I love scrabble, and I'm
so competitive with scrabble, Like my family doesn't like to
play with me anymore. I have to trick new people
into playing with me. Yeah. My grandmother rest in Peace,
who was really love scrabble. That's how I got her

(01:07:43):
to start using an iPad because there's words with friends,
and I was like, Grandma, I could play with you
from across town. She was so fucking good though, that
like When I started creeping up on her, She's like,
are you cheating? My grandma? What the fun would I cheat?
Of course I have another app I can use concurrently
with this one that would blast you out the water.
Did it? Was like against you because I need America.
