Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season seventy three, episode
five Night Guys, the podcast where we take a deep
dive into America's share consciousness. It's Friday, March fifteen, two
thousand nine. Team. My name is Jack O'Brien aka Jack
O'Brien was a bull frog. Was a good friend of Miles.

(00:20):
I never understood a single word he said, but I
listened to him share his hot takes, and he always
had some mighty hot takes. All right? That aka courtesy
of Roman King, and I'm sure to be joined as
always by my co host, Mr Miles grag full of

(00:41):
funny Jones to get the Lola Bunny does I got
the Lola Bunny Jones. Oh baby, If y'all remember I
have a love for Lola Bunny. I know Patrick Gorman
did at Patrick Lee sixty because you hit me with
that one. I remember that track off the Space Jam soundtrack.
I have to leave the R. Kelly track alone, but

(01:03):
I think Kelly, you know no, it was the one
that had um I think it's Chris Rock sing in
it at the beginning anyway, But yeah, that's from the
you know, little Space Jam sounder. That's a deep cut
deep cut. Yeah. Yeah, Well we're srilled to be joined
in our third seat by the very funny comedian, writer
and actor and second time guest Mr Elsberg. Guys, thank

(01:27):
you for having me back. Yes, so good to have
you back. But man, we're having a severe Mandela theory
moment or whatever that Mandela affect moment where both super
producer on a. Hosnia and I could swear that Eli
has been here before, and Eli insists he is not.
I don't know why he's lying about it, but he

(01:48):
also got it completely cleared from our archive, so you know,
when you google uh, it also says he hasn't been
on the show, So I don't know. I heeart media conspirats.
I don't know what the point of this conspiracy is.
But two of you because I was like the second
I was like, I know, Eili has not been here.

(02:09):
Also back for the first time. That's ludicrous. Second album
it is, Yeah, for the first that's one that had
Southern hospitality on it. Ho doesen age very well. Now, Uh,
fat Rabbit, what's your fantasy remix? Fat Rabbit? Is that
about Lola Bunny? Can you touch it? Can you feel it?
Can you grabbit? That fat Rabbit. Oh, I like that.

(02:30):
What's your Fantasy? Was the last one you listed, by
the way, Yeah, that's that's the most famous. Yeah. I
love this album and I love Oh that's a fat
Rabbit is a Timberland one, which actually I believe was
on the Timberland album. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I'm glad
you cut it off because I was with which one
shock value? I can get into this? Yeah? Yeah, no, no,
the second Timberlin Magoo album. I feel like, okay, O

(02:56):
love to love to love you I love yeah, alright, no,
al right, well, yeah, I'm familiar. I'm just moving supposed
to sing along, Miles, I could. I could listen to
you sing all day, thank you so much, but that's
not what this podcast is, unfortunately, and I thank you.
Thank you. All right, Eli, We're gonna get to know

(03:17):
you a little bit better at moment, But first we're
going to tell our listeners a few of the things
we're talking about. We're just gonna check in real quick
with Brian kill Mead from Fox and Friends on Pie
Day yesterday. We're gonna do a quick college admissions check
in to see how that scandal is playing out. I'm
going to check in with Washington. There's another book out

(03:38):
that gives you the t on the internal workings of
the Trump administration. We're gonna talk about bedos bizarre announcement.
I don't know how bizarre it is. I guess it's
just his hand gestures, how Bazar, how Baza. And we're
gonna talk about Lacroix and some supreme trolling happening on

(04:02):
in the world of politics. But first, Eli, what is
something from your search history that's re feeling about who
you are? Actually? I was thinking about that, and my
most recent one was actually Chuck two's Chuck two Yeah,
And here's all I'll say that because they stopped making them,
did Yeah, I didn't. I didn't know this converse stopped
making basically every time they try to do something beyond

(04:23):
the original converse, which I love, but my feet and
back down't. I thought Chuck twos were incredible. They're like
walking on mattresses. Uh, and because they have like an
insul on them. And so I've been excessively searching for
the last two weeks to try and find another pair
of Chuck two's. And these are basically they look like
regular Chucks, but they have like the bigger rubber soul. Yeah,

(04:47):
and then they have like a like like they have
like Nike made a lunar I think it's called a
lunar alon Insul that is so comfortable. Yeah. I was like,
oh wow, this is exactly what I needed. I mean,
I could go buy an insult and put it in
a regular the chuck right right right, but I'd rather not.
This is incredible. And Nike owns Converse. And then people

(05:08):
who don't know so what it's just sold out right now. No,
it's done. They just they finished it like a year ago,
and I learned that too late. So now I have
I'm like trying to go on a deep dive of
so I'm just googling like Chuck twos or Chuck two's resale,
like anything I can find. It's been. The used shoe
market is probably a little Yeah, not for me, if

(05:29):
I have to, if I have to take a position
on it, not for it. I mean, if Stocks would
sponsor us, they want to sponsor all the other shows
except ours, I would say to go to Stock bleep
that out. And I'm wearing a seven ultras h a
l s. Speaking of walking on mattresses, Yeah, those are
supposed to be very comfortable, you know, not as not
as soft as like anything with Zoomer. I found Lebron's.

(05:51):
I just bought my first pair of Lebron's. Very comfortable
might actually get me the exercise. And did you turn
the monitor to me? Were you trying to show me
something they're on? Oh and they're not expensive. Oh my god,
because it's not like a big hYP shoe. It's getting
very bleepy. Guys. We can't. We gotta stop mentioning, you
know what, because this would be for sales people to say, Hey,

(06:11):
we're on your team and guess what. I know you
missed the boats first time. Hey, but we're selling tickets
to Titanic. To get your tickets. That's a good way
to sell it. The first point of view, Yeah, that's right,
we're coming for you. Iceberg. What is something you think
is underrated? Underrated doing things alone, doing things that going
to the movies alone, having a bite to eat alone.

(06:32):
I think that people whenever I talk to people about that,
even in l A, which is like a place where
you kind of have to go from place, you're like
jumping around a lot and you're really busy, I think
not enough people just do it to do it. Usually
it's because they're like in a rush or something, But
I don't know. I love going to a movie alone
because then I don't have to worry about, like, if
I love the movie, I don't have to worry about
someone taking that away from me if they didn't like it.

(06:54):
Do you hang on people right after you just sort
of litigate what the film just was? Well, it doesn't
always happen, but I remember once I went and saw
a movie I really liked and with a friend and
he hated it, and we just like I was like, oh,
this is weird because I can't just talk about the
things that really like about it, and even I mean
it was it's a totally civil conversation. But I actually
don't even want to even have to. You'd rather fan

(07:14):
out with somebody right right, And sometimes I'll just the
drive home is enough to be like this was great. Yeah.
I Also, I don't like talking about a movie right
after I've seen it. It's like sometimes it's too fresh. Really, yeah,
what do you mean? Like I have to develop a
take properly. And I also, just like you, I get
in my head about like what the other person like

(07:37):
if I go to a movie with somebody, I'm also
experiencing through their eyes kind of like worried about what
they're thinking, and if they shoot something down right away,
if they're like if you love the movie so much,
like well, here's this one problem with it, and then
that could actually get in your head and you're like, yeah,
maybe this wasn't as good as I thought. I'm just
so aggressively about my own point of view if someone
disagrees them like, all right, fine, I'm here. See but

(08:00):
even that's a thing like like where I'm like I
have to like really plant my even like that. I mean,
I I if someone disagrees I don't then go, well
what do I What does that mean that I disagree
with that. I'm just sort of like, especially after a movie,
because a lot of times I'll go to a movie
and there's a moment where I look at the other
people I go with that go yo, that was bad, right, Yeah,
that was a terrible movie. I was like, Okay, good,

(08:22):
you're the guy, Miles, I'm the guy who ruined it
for well, it's I think it's there's like there's a
pause where everyone especially it's only when you see a
bad movie where like you go in with expectations and
they're not quite met and then you you kind of
want to gauge everybody. Yeah, because that's where I'm sort
of like, am I the only I just want to
make sure I'm not the only one. I'm like, Okay,
So you know what a weird place to experience that is?
If you ever go to like a film festival and

(08:43):
like an early premiere of a movie, it is there's
like an energy, good energy, but when you walk out.
That happened. I saw Widows like a month and a
half in advance, and I was like, that movie was
so good. And then I started talking to people later
on and as I was thinking about the movie, I
was like, I still did like it, But when I
walked out, I was like juiced, you know what I mean,

(09:03):
It's just fucking great and yeah, so sorry, I don't
know if I can curse okay, but actually curse louder. Yeah.
I was like, this is um Yeah, no, I totally. Yeah.
I agree that getting to see a movie before it's
actual premier date like gives it a forty percent bump
in people's mind. Yeah. Yeah, and if it's something that

(09:25):
I'm especially hyped for that happened. When I went and
saw the New Halloween. I was like, I also went
to an early screening of that, just dropping brags because
I got one for you in a second. Oh, hell,
I cannot wait. I loved it. And even though but
there was a scene I remember, there's a part of
the movie that there's like a small it's not even
a twist, but like this thing that happens in the
middle of the movie, and I'm like, oh, this almost
derailed the whole movie for me, But everybody around me

(09:47):
was in such a good mood. I think I went
a little easier, And as I walked out, I asked
somebody else about it, and then someone else and someone else,
and all three of them were like, I don't think
that was a big deal. I'm like, well, that's why
I come by myself if I can. But there's something
to like seeing it before too, because you also kind
of feel like I'm getting up on people. I'm gonna
watch it. I thought fucking Matrix Revolutions was good. When

(10:09):
I saw the screening Warner Brothers. My mom was like,
you want to go? I was like, and it was
it was during school you know, I think I just graduated. Anyway,
I went, wait, is that the third? And I was like, yeah,
that was sick. Then it came out and then I
went to go see it again with people, and I
was like, this movie is fucking trash. I saw it.

(10:30):
I worked at Best Buy when that came out, and
they had like a company thing where they bought the
employees in a day and a half early as well,
which you probably saw it earlier than that. Yeah, mom
was a film criticial, like I was like, I was bragging,
like up two months ago. I was like, you guys
aren't gonna believe. We saw it in a full house
two days before. Everyone's cheering when the movie started, and
it just got more silent as it went. And when

(10:51):
we left, I was with two other friends were driving
home and I was just like, I don't what did
we just watch? Genuinely, we're trying to figure out certain
to it, and uh, my roommate, now, it's so weird
you just bought this up. My roommate has been rewatching
the trilogy more than once. He's like, he's like, I
actually want to just figure it out with no one
assisting me, and figure it out. Yeah, he doesn't want

(11:12):
to go on, yeah, exactly most of this doesn't and don't.
I don't know what he's like, who's the mayor of
Vjian really though, because he's like, this part doesn't make sense,
and I don't know how much of it is a joy.
In terms of the movies themselves, I think there's just
something there for him where he's like, if I can
crack this, I'm like, it's not gonna make the movie
any better. We just did Our Lives show about the

(11:34):
year and focused on the movie The Matrix. I mean,
the first one you're in this, do you guys still
think it holds up? Yeah? I do, Yeah, the first
one for sure. But when the second one came up,
I was really on my conspiracy because I was like, yeah,
but for real, like who were the mayor of Vinji right?
And then I was like looking up the mayor of
Vinjians like being like this dynasty or whatever. Anyway, there's

(11:56):
nothing in there, yeah, if you want to say, I mean,
I'm sure there is. Someone's gonna have some. If you
want to see a great example of that, look up
YouTube videos of like fans waiting to see The Phantom
Menace and they're so excited, and then they come out
and like part of their brand has accepted the fact
that it sucked, but like they haven't. Their conscious mind hasn't.

(12:18):
Still it's great, it was worth every penny, it was
worth the weight, but like you can tell like part
of them has died a little. I would love if
there was like a cut of someone being like, I
can't believe I camped out for two weeks for this ship.
That's just like they caught one person. That's what there is.
That's what their unconscious mind is screaming for sure, mouth
is saying, yeah, I'm glad I did it because they

(12:40):
have to like believe. It's like people who are still
supporting Trump like acting like seeing a grandparent naked for
the first time, did weird you out? Yeah? That was hot.
It's just like no, it was just like you know,
like I love that. You were like you had to backtrack,
you like, it's hot, not hot, not hot hot hot,
it's hot, feeling hot, hot hot. It's just the human body,

(13:03):
the human form. What what's the big deal anyways? According
to vinklmn's theory of theory of aesthetics, anyway, Eli, what
is something you think is overrated. Binging shows. Binging shows,
Oh god, I never I can't do more than even
if I think something's really good, I can't do more
than two episodes at a time. I think that's probably healthy.

(13:23):
You can't do it physically, or you've created a rule
for yourself. Oh no, both. Like I I actually did
create that rule for myself late because I tried it.
I was like, oh, I need to really try and
finish this. When I was getting what was it that
I was trying to watch? It was something that was
an hour and episode each. This was a few years
ago when when Netflix first started putting out shows that way,
and I think, it's like, I don't know, it just

(13:44):
stops feeling. I don't if it started to feel like work,
like I think binging at a certain point, I think
for some people can genuinely level them out, But for me,
I think also. I was talking to a friend about
this and he made such a great point. He was like, well,
you know, especially since movie Past became a thing, because
I go to the movies a lot more than I
do watch TV. And I noticed he was like, yeah,

(14:06):
with the movie it's two hours, you know what you're
getting when it's over your ron. He's like, with the
TV show, if you have to binge something, god forbid,
you've already missed the first season. That's like twenty episodes
you have to watch. It's like a daunting thing. And
I don't think everybody thinks that way. I know some
people who are like, oh, there's seven seasons, is something
hello February Hello, not thinking about my life, ready to

(14:28):
tune out long term, and so I don't know. Yeah,
I just whenever I talked to people who like when
I started something a week late, like I was already.
I watched Russian Doll about a week after it started,
and everybody I knew had finished it, and I was
like how it was, and they're telling me how good
it is. I'm like, I don't think I could think
it's good if I watched it that quickly, even if

(14:49):
I loved it. I think the only time that ever
I tried doing that. I remember I was in high
school and someone loaned me the DVDs of Sports Night.
I hadn't watched it at this point, and I was like, oh,
this show is so good, and and then after like
the third episode, was like, oh, I'm gonna just keep
watching it. Around the sixth episode, I was like, even tho,
it was half an hour. I was like fried. Yeah,
I don't know, I just can't. But I could sit

(15:10):
through a three hour movie and maybe because I know
it's gonna be over. Yeah, And the mechanics of it
are different because there's like an arc. Yeah, I think
Sorkin's better and maybe movie sized chunks. Well yeah, I mean,
if you It's so funny when people talk about as
cocaine history. I'm like, yeah, you can see it on
the way people talk. They're like, yeah, well when you
know in the nineteen fifties, when a little bit and
then just keep going on. This is cocaine as a script. Yeah. Yeah. Finally,

(15:34):
what is a myth? What's something people think is true
you know to be false? My favorite I could not
wait for this question. If you work hard and be nice,
you'll be successful. You also need to come from money,
as we learned a couple of days ago. Yeah, I
mean no, I just to be clear, I do think
you need to work hard and be nice and things.
There's like the work ethic is important, but I think

(15:55):
most of the time when you hear this stuff or
when you the book is published by someone about their
like I need a success. Usually there's some privilege attached
to it. And I've been really thinking about that lately,
and it's been very nice to be like, yeah, you
know what, I am working hard and being nice, but
also you know, you don't if you don't come for money.
I don't know. It's going to take a little longer. Yeah,
they edit that shut out because America loves uh pull

(16:17):
yourself up by your bootstrap story. Yeah, I can't. I
want that torn down so bad. I want those boots
traps back down. It's omnipotism, baby. You need that part
of the the vital ingredient to that recipe. I think the
only exception is if you where you can look out.
If you're not from means is if you're from l A. Yeah,

(16:37):
I'm I'm that and you look I'm full disclosure. I
you know a lot of people think I got here
just based off merrit. I have to be honest with people.
I am related to Quincy Jones. That's why I'm where
I'm at today. Okay, Quince, That's why I do the
impression so well too. That was a joke that did
not land, but those our Quincy came to me and
was like, you got to get this kid on your party.

(16:58):
He's like, hey, man, you like Brazilian music, you like
witty podcast hosts. I got some for you your impressions,
and you're seeing with our fantastic Thank you so much. Yeah. No,
but it's true. I mean especially I mean growing up
in l A. It's wild. The just going to school,
the kind of people you meet, even if you're in
public school, private school, there's yeah, even if you don't
have the money, if you can live with your parents,

(17:19):
that's literally a leg up here. Yeah, exactly. The entertainment
industry is very very nepotism. Oh my god. It's like
almost like why do people even act like they need
classes for ship? It should be like, yo, who do
you know? My favorite was m Arnold Tard, Senator's daughter
Catherine wrote a book about like what what to do
after college. It's just like, are you kidding? Is this?

(17:41):
Did this book sell? And it's like, oh she interviewed
other famous people. She interviewed not a single person that
would have had any kind of I was. I was
obsessed with that for like two days. I was just
reading everything that could have went on Amazon, and the
page is just like you know, after college, just take
like a good year and a half Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt,
or like you know, just like why around the world
see stuff like you see the possibilities. Then come back

(18:04):
and figure out a job, find out who you are,
eat for three months, pray for three months, love if
you can't, if you have the Ivanka has a memoir
like that, I believe as well, probably worth checking out. Alright, guys,
let's talk about Pie Day first. I just need to
put out a retraction. Okay. I slandered Don Biebe's name

(18:26):
yesterday talking about the Buffalo Bills. It was Leon Let
who was holding the football out and Don Beebe swipes
it out in that Super Bowl. And I don't mean
to throw shade on Don Biebie again to all the
Buffalo Bills fans. I'm sorry I got it wrong, Miles.
This is the fifth Don Beebe related retraction leon Lett,
I love these names. I don't watch sports, but these

(18:48):
names are spectacular anyway, I'm sorry just to I just
thought I was misremembered. No, I was too, but then
you know, I don't want to blame Vince, but I
was like, remember he was like yeah, and I was like, oh, okay,
that's all. I knew it was down beebe up in there,
but he was the hero and just prevented it from
being a total block. So, Eli, just so you know,
we will be counting on you to fact check us

(19:09):
live without a computer, right, all right? If you fail
to do so, we will bad mouth you on tomorrow's show.
How many days are in four score three? I knew
that answer seven years ago anyway. All right, it was
Pie Day yesterday, which means three fourteen, and Brian kill

(19:31):
Meade was let's just listen to the clip. Yeah, I
guess to start off. Yeah, again, pie the mathematical constant
that we use. But a lot of people also take
Pie Day to just talk about the dessert pie. And
that's obviously Fox and Friends are not interested in math,
so they took it in that direction. But yeah, listen
to the open of the show. It's Pie Day. That

(19:52):
is the reason to be happy. What's your favorite pie?
D's too? Something something in a package. I like the
pie in a package. The pie in a package. You
know those things you get to Donald's. Yeah, those those
two things, those two pies. They come in a little slot.
You know what I'm talking about? You get one? Do

(20:13):
you know what I'm talking about? You know what I mean?
Like a frozen pie that your mom pulls out. Would
you say, oh, yeah, the Drake cakes. Would you say,
that's a cake? Yeah? Yeah. I don't want to hope pie.
I just want to bite, all right, that's it. I
don't want to help. Motherfucker described a cake. Also called

(20:37):
it a tube pie. That is crazy to be tube pie,
you know, one of those tubepies. I don't want to hope.
I want to bite of a little cake, right, Okay, okay,
that wasn't the question. But I like that there is
somebody on set who is like paid to be like
the Brian kill Mead whisper, who's like, Okay, this guy's dumb.
This ship. I just need to be thinking on his

(20:58):
level at all times. So they're like, just what is Yeah?
I was just about. I love that he's like all
the way in the backge like cake, it's cake, you guys,
And he's just he's just back there. He's like funk,
I didn't know what else, sorry, guys. The amazing thing
about that is that I don't think Brian kill Me ever,
like came around to the fact that he got that wrong.

(21:19):
He was just like, that's the one. Yeah, you guys
don't call cakes tube pies. Yeah yeah, cupcakes, you call
them cupcakes. I don't call him upside down sliced pieces
of cake. Yeah. It's it's still this thing like being
proudly dumb is still like cool in the world of conservatives,

(21:39):
like being like I don't wash my hands. That is
Fox News in a nutshell to me, like where they're
just like, yeah, I said something dumb. You know what here,
I'm gonna say something dumber. Yeah, I hope Later on
they did discuss the mathematic constant pie. Do you think
it ever? They tried to break that down and just
like you know what, it marks fourteen time for those pies? Yeah, probably, okay,

(22:00):
fine whatever, right, But that I mean, I think that's
how all news outlets choose to cover Pie Day, right. Yeah,
they're not. They're not just like having somebody recited or
I would love for one of them to be like
Pie Day. So Darren Aronovski released a film and everyone's like,
what the hell kill Meat is about to perform? The

(22:22):
ending of that with a power drill, perfect ending on
Fox let's talk about the college admission scandal, because it's
just the longer we get to look at these people's lives,
the better. Yeah. Look, there are just endless amounts of
stories about the lengths parents and students went to cheat

(22:43):
their way into school. Well there's one specific one I
just want to call out because the daughter of Gregory
and Marsha Abbott, uh you know, got into college because
her parents paid for someone to take her sat scores
a dwod approximately. So they live in New York, this couple,
and like there are millionaires, like fathers, like the head
of some like Beverage Dispensing, International Dispensing Corp. Or whatever

(23:05):
it is. And so the New York Ports comes out
trying to get a comment, but outcomes some dude like
just in a puffer jacket, smoking a blunt that looks
like brutes dick and it's got like his name is Malcolm.
He comes out and he's like, yeah, I'm there, I'm
their son, and they're like all right, And it was

(23:25):
like he looks like an artistic Cola Andrew dice Clay.
When I looked at it, I was like, this looks
like he's about to do a nursery rhyme. Yeah, They're like, oh,
do you have anything to say? He All he said
was I believe everyone has a right to go to college. Man,
and then immediately starts plugging his rap mix tape because
he's a rapper named Billa, Billa b or some ship.

(23:47):
It's definitely Bill and he's like, Yo, check out cheese
and crackers came out last year. Their fucking houses on
Park Avenue overlooking the met Okay, this is where this
dude comes out smoking. Dude, it looks like straight up, old,
dried up cat shit. Honestly, I'm more upset. You're more
upset about really anything curious at the look of this

(24:10):
blunt It's upsurd anyway, So I went just for a
second before we talked about how his sister got into school.
Let's just say, isn't a Billa's fine wraps real quick?
Just you have an idea of what the college scam
adjacent brother rappers excited to hear this. Here's the facts. Riders,
Tads and Max love them up right back. Breakfast on

(24:31):
the mast like a midnight snack. My homies. Bil now
got right back, got that bread on the bed when
it Dad fight back, Yo, busy b Who is he?
As you kidding me? Okay, well we could just stop
that there. I mean that's what we call bars um. Yeah,
that was scalding hot. Totally has a vibe for the

(24:55):
crown of like a weird I already said our art
called Andrew Dice class. I'll say this is like r
C called a tribe called Quests or something that's like
just like weird nineties Like he's trying to emulate like
early nineties New York rap. Yeah, like sample based pop,
Golden era rap. Yeah, and it's like it's embarrassingly bad. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean some of his rhymes are ones like he

(25:16):
gets pull a heist, pull a heist, pull a heist?
Wrong er right wrong er right wronger right. I'm getting
mad cash every night. I'm bringing fifth after the Heights,
and I'm white old money Stack, old money, new Stack.
That's amazing. He's bragging goes. He said, you were the

(25:37):
gs at, we were the jews at. Wait what you
wear the g at? Where were the Jews at? Okay,
Like I guess they're in the hood and he's at synagogue.
It sounds like the kind of like the kind of
freestyle that like a bunch of Jewish frat kids would
do at a party. Yeah, and when he and when

(25:59):
he said that they would be like on this legend
of this house right here by the way. That's that
whatever he was spoken that split or whatever. Also speaking
of mid nineties reminded me of that big fucking joint
that the grandma smokes and don't be a man of
central at the end, very specific reference, but look it up.
It's like a it's a parody of a blunt that
literally what it looked like. You know, He's just like, yo,
all the haters because suck my did it because when

(26:21):
I'm the streets, I twist is blunt like hasidics. Anyway,
So I just wrote the best rap and just anyway.
So then going on, I just want to also take
a little excerpt from the charging documents around his sister.
So Gregory Abbot, his father inquired to the guy who
was cheating, set her up to take the s a
t on her own, asked about how his daughter would

(26:42):
have scored if they didn't cheat, And then so they
have a transcript of the phone call. He says, hey, yeah,
so do you know how she did on her own?
This is the cooperating witness one. Do I know what
she did on her own? Yeah? I do, Uh, scored
in the mid six hundreds. But dad goes, yeah, that's
the end of that transcript, and then they go on
to say, ultimately, the daughter received an eight hundred out

(27:05):
of eight hundred on math and seven ten out of literature,
she got a fifteen ten. She scored mid six combined.
I don't know. I don't know if they if that
was just for one section either way, mid six hundreds
doing the best on one section. Let's just call it
maybe hundred whatever it was. Yeah, worth every penny. Wow,

(27:29):
that's that's incredible. By the way, One of my favorite
things that people aren't talking about with like the Lori
Laughlin thing, is that her husband, um Massimo from Massamo Clothing,
he literally founded fucking mid nineties. Yeah, they were the
couple of the nineties, Becky and Massimo, which together crazy
to me. Why is it anybody talking about Massimo? Yeah?

(27:51):
That is her wedding ring is the stucy s. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back, And the House voted to make the

(28:13):
MULA report public. Yes, it was four zero four voting present.
Now it's not clear if the four Republicans voted president
because they didn't want to, you know, cross the president,
or if they just wanted to land on that sick
for number. Isn't it truly a treat? When anything lands on,

(28:36):
You're just like what a time to be. That's when
I started believing in God again. Yeah exactly. I don't
know that there's much to say about this other than that,
you know, they're respecting the opinion of the people, and
I guess how democracy functions, and that we have a
right to know what this dude found out. Yeah, there's
no it's not binding or anything, you know, but because

(28:57):
ultimately that decision is gonna lie with William Barr, but
it puts pressure on him when the Congress is like, Hi, yeah,
we want to see this. I am curious how many
things have to go public before anything happens as a
result of it, you know what I mean? Because people
keep talking about that, and I was just reading that,
like why he's really going to try and run for
a second term is more than anything is just to
avoid prosecutor Yeah, yeah exactly, And like I'm like, okay,

(29:21):
so this is public. I'm like, you can literally, I
don't even know if the if the supposed pet tape
is real, if it comes out, I'm just like, that's
just gonna be another thing we have on file that
unfortunately now can't get out of our heads once we
see him, right. Well, yeah, and when you look at
like the charges Maniforts being charged within New York, it's
the exact same ship Michael Cohen was saying the Trump's,
It's like, yeah, they fraudulently blow up or you know,

(29:44):
inflate their numbers submitted to banks. That's what Paul Manford's
going to prison for, you know what I mean. So
you're like, oh, okay, so inevitably your time will be
in the sun to shine. It's coming. I hope, I
don't ye, who knows. So there's another book out that
gives us a little a little look through the keyhole

(30:06):
of this presidency. And it is by an investigative journalist
named Vicky Ward, and it's called Kushner Inc. Yeah, because
every this time it's focusing on Javanka mostly. Yeah, And
it's I just love like, if bookstores are still around
twenty years from now, I feel like this is a
genre of book that will have its own aisle called
the OMG. Y'all won't believe this ship I saw inside genre.

(30:28):
That's the other thing. One of the presidency is over.
That's it, man, Everyone's gonna get a book deal to man,
We're gonna get so many movies, any series, documentaries you think,
I mean we're getting. What'sunny is we're getting a lot now.
They're not hard to find, and they're gonna just triple
because people are gonna be well, oh, I can say
this without getting in trouble, but let me tell you
a story, and that it would be a real race

(30:48):
to the bottom of like who can actually have like
the most salacious and right. I wonder if this, yeah,
if this wi will be like how everything became ended
up being about World War two after World War Two,
if like, just all movies are gonna be trump t exactly. So,
what they are telling us from the Javanka wing of

(31:11):
the White House is that, first of all, Ivanka wants
to be president. She claims that first of all, Steve
Bannon told her to go fund herself and that she
is nothing right in front of her dad, and she
called Bannon a fucking liar, and then she said she
plans to solidify a Trump political dynasty to match the

(31:34):
Bushes and Kennedy's by formally entering politics herself because we
know none of his sons are gonna be doing shit.
That's also presupposed she's not any on the hook for
any criminal liability, which does not seem like a safe
assumption unless they're like, Okay, daddy, this is the thing.
Then I'm going to be president after you, and then
I can pardon you, and then I'll make you vice

(31:55):
president so you don't have to go to jail yet.
And then that is exactly what she's trying to care
into you. That is so spot on that, do you
know what I mean? Like, hey, daddy, one of us. Okay,
it can't be Don Jr. But Daddy, I'm going to
be president after you, Like they're really thinking, okay, then
it can be Don Junior, then Eric than Melania. Apparently
the White House staff is not fans of Javanka. John Kelly,

(32:20):
who previous excerpts claimed was ordered by the President to
get rid of my kids, had to like balance all
this ship, and according to award excert, he dismissed the
two of them as just playing government and staffors mocked
Ivanka's team as happy h A b I or the

(32:41):
home of all bad ideas. I love when you get
that petty, when you come up with acronyms to just
shape people. And none of them, by the way, are good.
They're not. None of them are going to get into
like the lexicon. They're just like but like espectually, like
it's exactly what we're talking about, Like we're hearing all this,

(33:03):
all this now about this ship, Like I cannot wait
till all the terms and all the secrets and all
the things that like, oh yeah, when he wasn't in
the Oval office, we would like have a game of
like you know who could like dress up like Trump
walk around and if he was on his way back,
change back out of this and just be right back
to work. The book also reports that he just is
NonStop talking about how hot his daughter is and what

(33:25):
a beautiful couple they are, which I mean, if you've
seen ever seen him interviewed with her would not surprise you.
And yeah, that's like I'm like, I'm like, it's so
funny that I'm like, man, why are they reporting something
we knew before he was President R. Like that's what
most of these books are. It's just like ship we
already kind of knew or suspected anyway, it's just being confirmed.
But the quote is kind of funny from this expert.
It says, quote, you can't have a conversation without him

(33:48):
talking about her. Isn't Ivanka fabulous? I mean, is she
not one of the best looking women you've ever seen?
And they're good kids. I just think it's crazy. They've
got a nice life in New York. What do they
want to do this for? God? They're fabulous, though, aren't
they fantastic? I mean, have you ever seen a better
looking couple? I mean, god, are you hard? Right now?
Whoever they got to quote him really nailed his cadence. Yeah,

(34:09):
that was well done. Yeah. But then there's also like
a moment apparently with Rex Tillerson and Gary Khne checked
Jared because they're like, especially when like the Saudis, like
when he got the US to like side of the
Saudis over the Qatari like blockade, They're like, what the
funk are you doing? Like we know you're just trying
to like get pitches so you can relieve your debt
from that building. You have that your upside down on

(34:31):
and they were really kind of pissing, like you're gonna
fuck things up. So I was surprised that they knew
that much going into that. And also the other one
was that Don McGann when like they were writing the
James Coby firing letter, he sent it to the wrong
printer in the White House, so like some other aid
like under was like, what the fund is this? And
he's like, oh, I love that. Also, by the way,

(34:52):
it just it seems like if anyone just wants their
time at the trunk, like rather than resign, they just
say something, they insult something with their kids. And then
sometimes like that guy's out right out of here and
he's just like he's like, yeah, I don't want to
be here anymore, and I'm gonna say it, you're spoiled.
That's too far out. This innocuous statement is too much
for me. Your daughter isn't taught this. We're bringing back

(35:18):
the death penalty. Uh, right out here on the White
House summarily executed on the one and up next, we
have some news that would be Watergate levels of just wild.
Were we actually not just buried under twenty other stories
that would be Watergate level because we get the news

(35:41):
tidal wave every day. Matt Whittaker was on the Hill
yesterday or two days ago to clarify some of his
old testimony. We covered on this podcast how he went
to the Hill in February uh and said the President
never exerted any pressure on him over the Mueller investigation
or Michael Cohen's investigation. And we we talked about how

(36:04):
he was very you know, he was a dick to everybody.
You're five minutes are up. Yeah, he's dick toilet. Everyone
was like, this man is wholly unqualified. It looks like
he's just putting in some goon to do his bidding, right,
And when he offered this testimony, he's the guy who
was like, uh, sorry, senator, your five minutes are up.

(36:25):
So uh, anyway, I don't know if you keep asking
questions right Anyways, It turns out he had to correct.
So Trump did totally lean on him and asked his
lead prosecutors could be shuffled around for Cohen's sdn Y case.
So sorry, that's that's what he meant. It's like that
Trump Helsinki putin thing where he was like, I meant
to say, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't

(36:47):
be yea. So this is the key detail he meant
to say. Trump did totally try to subvert the justice
system and the rules of democracy. Yeah, and just like
just this kind of out there, in your face obstruction
because like basically who was Jerry Nadler came out of

(37:09):
the testimony and back when, remember, if the Republicans are empowered,
they would use these closed door hearings to then come
out and just say some ship that wasn't true. And
now since the Democrats are empowered, they're coming out of
these things and now saying things that I'm assuming are
true based on the track records of the two parties.
I thinture most of this because of social media and
how things can leak so easily now and how how
the press works. I picture half the people who are

(37:30):
especially older, are just like, man, I wish this was
the nineties, like you know, whenever they could keep this
ship really under wraps and know that it would take
like ten years for someone to come uncover the ship.
But yeah, he comes out and like as soon as
it ended, Nadler comes out addresses the press and was like,
this is what basically we found out, uh that Trump
straight up said can you fire these U S attorneys?

(37:52):
And is there a way to do this? Also? Is
there anything about like the recusal? There was a guy
Jeffrey Berman there who had to use himself and Trump
really wanted Berman over like like watching over this case.
Couldn't do any's like is there anything to do? Know?
Then was even like Trump was saying the SDN Y
went too far quote too far because they named him

(38:12):
as individual one in Michael Cohen's campaign finance case. And
he was like, I think that was too far that
they you know that saying that I directed all this
criminal behavior. So yeah, this is just straight up in
your ear, in the the head of the the Attorney
general's face, being like fix this ship. But yeah, I
think when you're dealing with Manafort news and all these

(38:34):
other things going on, it gets a little bit lost.
It's It's truly wild. How Also, he's something that I
think people kind of I think people know it in
the back of their head, but like you know this,
Remember he came from a reality show where he literally
his whole thing was firing people. He's like, can't we
use that as an angle? Like that's he's like, can't
we spin this like we did on my show where
I'm like, you're fired. I mean, if you saw how

(38:56):
Sessions did in the Entrepreneur challenge, I mean I had
no choice. I'm living for this trumpet question. By the way,
restaurant was a failure. Um, yeah, this is like not
even the lead story on CNN, which as we know,
has an anti Trump bias, But because there's nowhere on

(39:18):
like Drudge, Yeah, there's just it's gone, well, yes, because
they're still Congress is gonna have to come back and
be like, oh so you lied to us, and then
then I guess they're going to have a story. But
from what it appears, like Jerry Nadlers like, um, and
I love the way they answered to like, no, we
didn't lie. Now I didn't tell the truth, but I
don't lie the truth. I mean, I don't know what

(39:41):
it means. That's that's a subjective term. Anyways. The thing
that is number one on Drudge today Betto announced that
he's running. The people are a flutter, so are Betto's hands.
His campaign announcement is just has some of the wilder

(40:02):
hand gestures. I have to side with President messy bitch
on this one because he immediately called it out. He's like,
he looks like, you're crazy guy. He said that about
his about all his hands. Yeah, but that's what Trump
said about it, which Trump like the finger wagging like senator,
like the president of finger wagging. He just over over

(40:22):
gestured a little bit. You know, he was talking with
his hands. He was hitting, and he was a rapper
or something. He was hitting every syllable. It was like
a rapper who was overdoing it with their hands, like
like in the Vanity Fair article, he had that like
picture where he just looks like Matthew McConaughey and the
Lincoln app Yeah, so like why is every why is

(40:44):
Vanity Fair making him look like g Q? Yeah, like
they're wrong magazine because Vanity Fair needs so desperately for
someone else to be president. And like, Okay, this guy's great.
He's got great bone structure rights. It really is. And
he was like and on the cover, he's like, I
was born for this, right? What the fund did you say?
All loud? That is what he's like, Yeah, print that

(41:06):
print that I was born for this? Had I was
born to this? I mean for this. I had a
moment last year. It's time to make it a moment
for four years, uh, and a moment that he didn't win.
By the way, that's what's crazy about this whole thing. Yeah,
I mean, that's why a lot of it's like, Okay,
I mean, thank you, glad we have another person. It's

(41:28):
great that there are so many people who I could
be like, I could see this person maybe doing something,
but I don't know yet because all I know is
what happened then. But I can't apply any of that
to the presidential race totally. It seems like, you know,
we don't know much about what his policies are going
to be, what what his positions even are on things.
But it seems like he is getting whatever, the opposite

(41:51):
of the benefit of the doubt that women don't get,
like like she's just not presidential or whatever. He's getting
the inverse of that, where people are just like, I
don't know, make him president. Now. Look at this fucking picture.
I mean, guys just crushing it with that jawline. Get that.
I mean, I think he has kids too that he
like talks to yeah, sick, and a wife who sits

(42:14):
silently by his side and smiles during his thing, which
that's not her fault, but it's just weird optics. Yeah,
they could have presented that a little bit differently. Yeah,
he's Yeah, there's that picture in the in the article
that's like playing He's playing instruments with his kids, and
I was like, yeah, it's cute, but you know what,
I don't have time for it right now. Yeah, those
hands are about to live up to eight percent at times.

(42:37):
He got some under control towards the end, but then
he gestures thank you, like he's just like dropping the
mic like it's it's a lot. It's like his hands
were I bet you could overdub Buster Rhymes verse from
look at Me Now over that and just the way
his hands is about the same speed as that one.
That's like every Buster Rhymes music video from the late nineties.

(42:59):
I think it was, um, oh my god, what was
this big song from that got you all in check? No?
Right after that some Yeah, I just remember that video.
He had a lot of the hands were flying at
the kids, and that was this thing like the fishye
lens where like it would like come right at you, right.
I mean that's yeah, all those high Williames videos. Yeah,
I mean we're great ones. Um Fox is still trying

(43:23):
to figure out how they're going to come at bet Oh.
I think we have a clip of them sort of
gathering their thoughts live on air. Oh yeah. Also super
producer Dan reminders, eyes can see that's the one yours
that was. That's the one that was also like in
black Light the video and it had that one dude

(43:46):
whose name bruck Up, who was a dude who did
all the armed I read a lot of articles around
that video. That's a dancer called bruck Up. Anyway, Yes
and friends. Yeah, Brian kill me this time again is
Brank killing It's Brank killed me, killed me yet again
with his take on bet over all right, so Beta
Battery Fair has a huge article and feature on him.

(44:08):
It's almost as if they helped launch his campaign. Uh
here's a quote from it. He says, I want to
be in it, man, I'm just born to be in it.
They also point out they has this huge library, as
if it's a quig plus that he reads books. We
would assume that all the presidential libraries there, and the
writer writes there's always a sense that he belongs on that,
as if a book of a president is going to

(44:29):
be in there. But listen, he's got a lot of Christmas,
he's got a lot of presents. The second part I'm
really confused by yeah, No, I mean the points at
intellectual part. I get, yeah, books, Like I like that,
that's his counterpoint. He's like, this guy's got a book, right,
Oh you read books? Do you think you're smarter than me?
But then he's like, but then he's all the presidential
libraries and all these books, and then he's hoping he's

(44:50):
in there, and I'm like, it's a that yeah, exactly
that he was hoping that then among his books in
his huge library that there will be the book about
him being a president. Is that I didn't understand that either. Yeah,
he was like, I guess there's a book about a
president because if there's a there's a hand down that's like, oh,
how to be president? Right. We talk a lot about

(45:11):
their near constant strategy at this point of the conservatives
pointing at like attacking the left or the center on
things that they are extremely guilty of. I like that
that clip starts with them arguing that Vanity Fair is
like doing Betto's bidding, Like it's yeah, where's the line
between journalistic ethics, journalistic objectivism and uh objectivity and the

(45:35):
politics and it's like really disgusting a propaganda and you
are about to get on the phone with the president
and then oh my god, he was just trying to
think of He was just like, yeah, didn't have books
and tubepies. Yeah, like yeah, that probably was where it
was going. Okay, sorry, Brian, we're gonna have to take

(45:55):
that over, man. Okay, just write the words down from
all right, we're gonna take another quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back, and Miles, you wanted to

(46:17):
shout out Georgia State Legislator Yeah, Darshun Kendrick from East
to Kalb because she has triggered the Conservatives with her
testicular Bill of Rights that she's trying to bring to
the floor And Okay, I'll just read it first and
then we'll talk about it. So she said she has
five separate bills which will collectively be this testicular Bill

(46:38):
of Rights. And this is what the package of bills
would do. It would require men, by the way, package
require men to obtain permission from their partners to get
a prescription for erectile dysfunction medicine okay, band vasectomys and
punished doctors who performed them, require men to pay child
support beginning six weeks after a woman becomes pregnant and

(46:59):
makes X without a condom, and aggravated assault crime. Now,
if you're a conservative, you look at this and you say, like, see,
see what they're trying to do. But this is precisely
what Kendrick's strategy is. She knows this isn't a real bill.
She's merely trying to have a real nuanced conversation about,
you know, the agency we have over our bodies by

(47:20):
giving men a second to think about this. Yeah, and
but the reaction if you go on fucking YouTube already,
they're already videos like oh look at this, like DRACONI
like anti bill being put out rather than being like, hi,
do you understand that this is what's going on with women? Right?
But again, it's just a very very I think, just

(47:42):
brilliant tactics. So I all the all the love could
not agree more love that is this is the best
trolling I've ever seen in my life. Like it is.
I mean, you're right, she's trying to start a nuanced
conversation it's not really trolling, but it's like it is
weird that they're just like because also I would say
the one misstep is of assectomy is something that nobody
they would be like, yeah, yeah, cut out of the sectum.
I don't want to, even though they're incredible and everyone

(48:06):
should do them. But I'm very great, but you do
one at home at home if they had an at
home sect you know what, I'm are too shaky. I'm
just too scared to do it myself. But uh but yeah,
I love that she did that and that everyone's just
like it's different with women, because like that's been the

(48:27):
response I have. I did watch some videos online with
people like responding it's literally just not even words. Yeah
you can't because you're like, waituh fuck, yeah he's kind
of got checkmated there. So let me just Plan B
scream yep exactly. Speaking of Plan B is six weeks
the point at which they say that like, uh, fetus
becomes the life? Is that? What is that? The significance

(48:49):
of maybe heartbeat bills? Yeah, I think it's very close
to that yet the heartbeat bill. Yeah, this is brilliant.
Good for her. Yeah, I'm just legislation. I just want
to see I'm hoping that. I mean, I don't know
if it'll even be brought to the floor for a vote,
but like, just to hear people debate on this would
be so funny because they would have to like articulate
out loud the absurdity of not letting someone have control

(49:13):
over their body or body or balls. Well, it puts
them in a in a great position of when they
cut like what I like a conservative uh someone's speaking,
They're just like, well, here's the thing. You can't have
control over men's bodies, and like, oh yeah, just like women,
they would not know what you do once. They would
just be like I'll be right back, like you feel

(49:33):
like little footsteps run to the car, and they're like yeah,
because the values that they talk about all day every day,
like for like you know, their libertarian values, just they
don't apply them to women or if like all those
races who are like, oh, I mean, like you know,
in the African Americans Commune, we have a problem with
delinquent fathers. They'll be like, oh, so you would you

(49:55):
support a bill like this? Then you're like, oh, well,
m just for white people. Oh god, never excuse me,
it's a yeah, so again, great great bit of rhetorical
strategy there from Representative Kendrick. Guys, I want to talk

(50:16):
about Lacroix. They're not doing well. It's time for an intervention.
And was it before after the lawsuit where the two
pilots are saying the CEO is groping them in the cockpit?
I think it was right around that time. I think
that's when we were sort of like Lacroix. Lacroix was
just coasting on the fumes of I don't know, just

(50:38):
like goodwill and people kind of just being like, yeah,
if you drink it like so so super cold, you
can actually get it down. Like here's the like it's funny.
We're all in agreement of this. But I just remember
three or four years ago when Lacroix first was really
having its moment, people were like, what do you mean
you don't like it? You try? What flavor did you try?

(51:01):
You know what you gotta try? Yeah, you don't want
to stry with Yeah, and I're gonna go with lime,
keep it simple, and then shotgun three of them at once,
and then the taste will be it'll be I mean,
I like a flavor Seltzer. I you know, before Lacroix
truth be Told, I was a talking rain kind of
guy myself. But New York Seltzer is great. Yeah, I'm

(51:22):
trying them all. Waterloo or I think that's the one. Yeah,
it was so good. Yeah, and it is apparently a
very easy thing not to funk up because everybody flooded
the market with their own version, and some of them
are a little bit better than Leroix. And it's just
everybody who goes to business school, like you know, they
have these classes where you just like study the case

(51:45):
study of like how Nike became Nike and like all
that ship. You should have to look at Lacroix and
like study how they fucked up because it's like, Okay,
we're having like this moment. Well, we're gonna like over
leverage ourself just like invest in it, like this moment
will never ever end and like growth from here and
we're gonna buy We're gonna make a Lacroix theme park

(52:08):
where you ride Lacroix roller coasters, and uh, it's just yeah,
they just over expanded and well and I think they
also just didn't realize that what they do like we're
the only people that can make vaguely flavored water, like
we got this ship cornered. But yeah, cut to now
the prolift the arms race of flavored saltzers and now

(52:29):
they're like lagging because last year, in the last twelve months,
fucking profits followed by nearly revenue is down like almost
another three percent. And so this is really why we're
talking about it because the CEO, Nick Capperella, we've talked
in the past about how his like letters to like
shareholders are just wild graphic horror shows where it's like

(52:52):
comics sands and like all kinds of weird clip art
and just rants. So this time in the in this
letter to the olders, so all the stats are there,
it's like revenues down, you know, profits are down, and
it says, quote, we are truly sorry for these results
stated above. Negligence, nor mismanagement, nor wolful acts of God

(53:12):
were not the reasons. Much of this was the result
of injustice. Managing a brand is not so different from
caring for someone who becomes handicapped. Brands do not see
or here, so they are at the mercy of their
owners or care providers who must preserve the dignity and
special character that the brand exemplifies. You cannot write that

(53:32):
like not not he can't like write the fiction writer
writing satire could not have come up with something that
fucking brilliant. I feel like the onion would be like,
who did you copy this? Because like that he builds
in that it's not like caring for a loved one.
It's caring for somebody who becomes handicapped because brands can't

(53:55):
see her. Here is just it's weird because he starts
off saying like, look, profits are down because of injustice,
but then goes on to say that also a brand
is at the mercy of their caregiver in this case me,
so are you the negligence? Yeah? That like he's calling
himself out Like that's so it's confusing. So what is

(54:15):
the injustice? Miles? I don't even happen to them. It
doesn't even make sense because that's literally I read that.
There was no space in between that thought and there's
no further explanation about how there's some conspiracy. It's just like, okay,
injustice And I mean he owns I think seventy of
the shares anyway, so he's the one taking the biggest
hit out of any which is why he's probably so unhinged.

(54:36):
He's like, my money's in trouble. Listen, guys, And then
it's just like he literally just I don't even remember.
Like back when ransom notes came out in magazine clippings,
you remember, people would cut out the letters. That's how
he's like sending notes. It really feels like that. And
then at the end he has like an even more
sort of rocky, weird, wild explanations, sort of like come on, guys,

(54:58):
give old Gil another chance. And here where he goes.
There's no greater passion than the kind that creates the
wonderful refreshment and contentment described as unique, no doubt, the
sound and personality of the word Lacroix, coupled with the
awesome experience of its essence and taste, is a unique.
One can be induced to purchase by cheapening price or
giving away a product, but falling in love with a

(55:21):
feeling of joy is the result of contentment. Just ask
any Lacroix consumer, would you trade away that la la feeling?
No way, They shout, we just love our Lacroix. I
am positive They respond this way each and every time
this letter respond to you by cocaine. Dude, that La
La feeling? Was it that Ashley Simpsons song you make

(55:44):
La La the kitchen? Now? They used to do a
collab that would be incredible for two dying brands. Literally
love Ashley Simpson person shout out to Evan Ross. Yeah,
he literally got high on his own supply. Like this
is somebody who has fully built their personality out of
marketing material and it's just buying everything that they've been

(56:06):
selling for the past. Yeah. I forget what episode it was,
but when we sort of like tracked the evolution of
this man and his beverage company because I think what
they used to, like he owns Fago also, and then
suddenly like Lacroix started popping and it blew his mind.
He was like, I'm the smartest guy ever. I once
when I worked in retail, I was not upselling enough.

(56:27):
So a manager was very upset with me. Took me
into a private room and he's like, I'm gonna see
and he's like, you're not selling enough, Like you're I
hear you saw that these are terrible pitches And I'm like,
but we're not on commission he's like, yeah, but don't
you like working here? And it's just in my head.
I'm like, no, I'm in college because I'm gonna show
you this clip. Let's see if this helps. He's up

(56:48):
the TV, walks out of the room. It is the
opening ten minutes of Glengarry Glenn Ross. Really, this is
the kind of ship. This is exactly what it reminded
me of. Where he's like, I'm like, you realized in
my head, I'm just like, that is making fun of
what you're doing to me right now? Get that? And
I just that I was just very that's the first
place in my head when I'm like, I remember this.

(57:09):
I was nineteen when I got this letter. Always yeah.
And he told afterwards, he goes, just remember if you
can't sell a service plan, they sold you on why
they couldn't buy it. And I was like, wait, he
for sure took that from somewhere. It took me a
while to figure it out. It was from Boiler Room,
another movie. Commenting on this, wait where did you? What

(57:33):
was this? That best buy? I was trying to be
very honest about it. It's like it's a small retail story.
That's I love that something the manager was taking this ship.
That's years like, I'm gonna whip this sale seeming a ship.
Oh it was this was years ago. I mean this
was almost twenty years ago. It was like wild, Like
the ship that they talked about how to sell stuff

(57:54):
was incredible. That guy loves Gordon Gecko. That's what's crazy
about it. Like I picture him at the end and
in the morning before he leaves, he does a thing
where that kisses his hand and puts his hand on
up like we're to be a cautionary oh yeah, and
also does like an American psycho style workout every night. Yeah,
and Fox with a mirror around him and flexes the

(58:16):
worst kids I went to college with. We're all into Americans.
I go for the wrong, wrong reasons exactly, which also
like smart. Yeah. And then everyone everyone else who watched
Fight Club was like this was so liberated, Like I
can be a man and fight and go to jail
for it. Like that's not what they're talking about. I'm
sorry what Yeah, you just literally got the Fight Club

(58:37):
