over the years.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah right, for real, because like.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Created in cells for no freason except he is not
good with women.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah right.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mean the scariest thing about Drake is all the
gifts he's buying for the life that will never exist,
you know.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
And I'm like, oh, boy when he when he finally
marries a girl, if she does, she'd be like, let
the fuck, I.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Don't want this, I don't wait.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
So yeah, he's like buying all these bags for his
eventual life is like his that's so wildly.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
And then he ends up giving him out to strippers
and ship like yeah yeah, he like crashes out every
now and then he's like, yeah, probably went to the
strip club and get just handed out burkins.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I mean, talk about a rich scrub. I mean that man.
He has both a scrub and a pigeon okay, and
a muster and a lot of bitches have ridden that
ride for free.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Marcella. We're thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're
talking about.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
We're just.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Checking with Jeff Bezos. Yeah, and the very wealthiest people
in the world what they think about how much taxes
their paying. We're gonna talk about.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
The White House Presidential Records Act, which apparently says that
like every text that is sent by this administration, they're
supposed to be hanging on to uh which.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Or else what? Yeah, but that's the problem.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Imagine the ship they're saying in text message.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
The ship they're saying on Maine, I know, you know,
holy shit.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Anyways, we're gonna talk about that because they it just
got upheld. They were like, actually, we don't want to
do that, and judge was like, what, that's.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Not a legal argument that you don't want to do that.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
You don't want to And we're gonna talk about Michael Bay.
He's agreed to make a movie Operation Epic Fury about
more that's not even fucking over already, being like, yeah,
green lighted and he actually he went into production on

(12:45):
it before they even attacked in the first place. All
of that plenty more. But first, Marcella, something about us
around here is we do like to ask our guests,
what is something from your search history. That's revealing about
who you are.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh wow, you're doing this all out of order. Huh fuck.
I wasn't expecting that.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
What do you That's usually what we opened up with.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
I haven't been here. I was just trying to by
myself time, you sucking asshole. Okay, here's something that I
google search. This. Guys, this is real. I don't go on.
I don't over prepare like some of your the people
you listen to on a regular basis, freaking into.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Every time one of our guests comes on, all prepared
for these I act happy, but deep down, I'm like,
look at this fucking nerd.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Nerd. Yeah, if Jack's a nerd, can you imagine? So
I was watching I love American Dad. I don't know
if everybody likes American Dad. People have a lot of
strong feelings about American Dad. I think it's one of
the funniest animated American cartoons. Animated cartoons, that's right.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
You heard it here first, and you know it's American
because it says it in the damn title.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
So funny. Roger is an icon. Roger is Yeah, Roger
is basically Karen Walker. If you don't watch Will and
Grace anymore because they were messing up fucking Zionus cunt.
You can watch American Dad and get your Karen Walker
fixed from Roger. He says ridiculous shit all the time.
It's the best, and he's a slut. It's the best.

(14:25):
But anyways, the last thing I googled for real, for
real is trying to figure out the voice. I'm always like,
really good at clocking someone's voice, like a character, you know,
an extra character. And he had an episode where it
was like this Italian like Mafia style older guy that
was like teaching the son Jeff how to be a man.

(14:46):
It was a very hilarious episode. But send me on
the school search because I thought I knew who it was.
I was like, is this a voice I heard on
Seinfeld back in the day or where is his voice?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (14:54):
But I mixed up my voices. So I just went
on this, on this deep dive of on Joe. I
can't even pronounce his name, and now it's not.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Meant to.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I can't even say it meant to Joe meant to,
I can't. Yes joke that was a joke was about him.
So that was the last one I did because I
thought his I couldn't figure out what his voice was from,
but he was.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
He is who was voicing It was.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Voicing, That's who was voicing it. But it's not who
I thought it was. I thought it was because there
was an episode of Seinfeld, who I know is a Zionist.
But I was obsessed with the show as a kid,
So that was it was. It was a great show,
and I can't can't watch it anymore. But because that
dude is was so zaenest.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
I can't watch it anymore because I'm too busy watching
unfrosted classic classic historical fiction.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
They unfrosted pop tarts, pigeons.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Birds, birds birds.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I thought it was there was an episode, so ide
felt where the who somebody gets their haircut? Oh, Jerry
gets his haircut and then he starts going to the
other guy because he's better and hipper, and I thought
it was one of their one of those guys' voices,
the barbers, one of the barbers, one of the barbers,
because they just kind of had an over the top
Italian voice that was like this is silly, that's not

(16:28):
how they really talk.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Didn't they both have like wild assi It's like they
were like just big Italian caricature, right, yeah, they were.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
It was like geno, Yeah, yeah, that was exactly righto.
And they were like obsessed with Edward Scissorhands because the
bedding of their the with the hair.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
So Joe Montana voices fat Tony on the side.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
So that's what it made me realize was I knew
the voice because of The Simpsons, but I thought it
was Seinfeld and.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
The wires got crossed.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
You're working with I reached his Italian stereotype wires and yeah,
they're all tapping into the same silly caricature.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, that that is an amazing skill like that. That's
a skill that I am surprised literally every time that
I find out figured out a character, Like I google
it and I'm like, oh, so you don't even have
I don't even have a guess I have quite the year.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I have very good at it. You have, well, yeah,
you're great of voices and stuff like that, so you've
got to have a good year for that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
But it's just funny because it's like it turns into
an obsession. But I always try to see if I
can figure it out by the end of the episode
and This was the first time. I was like, I
have no and I don't even think I caught the
name like when it was come out, because I didn't
know who it was. I didn't know any of those actors' names,
so it just cracked me up. So I'm like, man,
it's always fun to like figure out who's doing the
voice on a on a show.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Right there it is.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
That was my last Google search. Do you guys do that?
There's not you guys. I don't care what you think.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Who me? Yeah, oh my god, thank you so much
for asking.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Can you believe him? Marcella dumb?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Just like you?

Speaker 2 (18:15):
What the fuck? I don't think you're in good now.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
On your tools?

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Marcella, what is something you think is underrated?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay? Well I always like to do the same, the same.
What is the same coin to side? I don't My
words are not all here today, but we're getting there.
I think I think I got a little too high
when I was taking a shower. I was in there like, yeah, oh,
are you like a joint or like a vape? Yeah,
like a joint?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Wait, so you like you just kind of you keep
it outside ran in. How do you not get that ship?

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Dude? Come on, she's standing above showering.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Are you doing it?

Speaker 1 (18:58):
You don't have to take the joint and run it through.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
The wall to bring it into I just let the
shower hit me right on the top of the head.
I tried to.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Smoke, like, unless you're in one of those and I mean,
even then you can still do it. But I doesn't
say that you're one of those like tall stalls. But no,
you can put it totally. I mean I also have
a lot of long limbs, you know, so I'm like
to I can kind of position myself and.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
In the shower, you're just like, got the thing you're
holding the joint out the window. You're taking a shower.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I remember, I'm tall, so the shower had literally
never touches my head. I have to always bend down.
Yeah right, it's safe. And so anyways, I got in
the shower.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Those instances to get to make sure you get the
water in your head. Are you do you got to
lean back in or do? Yeah? I do.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I usually lean back and then and then kind of
crouch down lean back. But sometimes I'm making sure I
got more volume in my hair. I will go forward
to burns up the conditioner.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
To do sometimes you do that.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
That's a really good point. What is something that.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You think is two sides are the same? Point?

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Sides the same? You're underrated and overrated the side of.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Two points coins. Okay, I think that it's underrated to
have high self esteem. It's over ready to have low
self esteem.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
People. I don't.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't. I can't deal with anybody anymore because people.
I can't connect with people anymore because everyone has fucking
low self esteem. Everyone I talk to hates their body,
hates their whatever, hates where they're at. Hit And I'm like,
I can't deal with this. Do you guys need to
have some fucking fucking stand up straight puff you're dude,
did you see the people right in this country? Do

(20:41):
you see that they're walking proud and tall and ignorant
as hell and ugly it's all fuck yeah? And I

totally fucked her up. She's she's on these steroids that
have fucked her. These her her words, not mine, but
she's fucked up her face, in her body, it's how
she sees. And now she's just upset that she spent

(22:54):
her whole life feeling bad and ugly and now she's
her face has changed because of the steroids, and now
she's like, I don't even look like myself. I was
so mean to that other version. Yeah, now the remaining
life that I have, I don't even look like myself.
And I hate the way that I look now. And
it's like bitch, you will never relax if you fucking
spend your whole life having low self esteem.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
I think there's NonStop symbols coming at like I definitely
sympathize with it. I think there's NonStop symbols coming at
us that like tell us that our discomfort is our fault,
and like it that there's like something spiritually wrong with
you if you aren't like doing great, and so like,
I think people are existing in a system that like

(23:34):
reinforces the low self esteem. And also I sympathize with
you because it's got to be hard to not very
fun to bully people who have low self esteem. And
there is I fucking suck.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
But that's the thing is that like if the system
is telling you that you ain't shit, but also the
system needs you to pay your taxes, the system needs
you to provide babies, The system needs you to provide
so much for our society. Yeah, like you have value,
you are value even Yeah you have value even a
shit shit, And I hear what you're saying, Like I

(24:10):
get it that it is we're living in a tough,
tough world and everyone is telling you how I mean.
But I guess that's the other fun thing, especially when
I think about Christina Opplicate because I'm like, she was
Kelly Bundy. She was the standard. So it was like
I'm fat, you know, like that's crazy to me. She
was the one making us feel bad and she doesn't
even feel good. That's so.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Show yeah yeah, yeah too. That So much of the
stuff that we think is depends on that like external
some is actually just dictated by the internal. And I
think that mastery is so important.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Like the system that we exist in is like one
of the engines that you can give yourself. Like we're
doing these Icon episodes, we keep running into these people
who are fucking miserable and believe horrible things about themselves,
like one of the engines for extreme successes, like manufactured
discontent with yourself to just be like and I never

(25:04):
forgot that thing that that total stranger said to me
that I might be misinterpreting, but drove me through life
and made me, uh, you know, think that I was
a piece of ship, so that I woke up every
morning and attained like amazing success.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
And it's like that like that's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
It's not it's not just like, oh, don't read magazines
don't look at social media. It's like the whole system
is meant to be like only work. If you are
like I need to do more, I need more, And
if I don't buy into that, then I'm fucking up.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
So self love is radical. It is self love is radical.
Just remember that radical. Yeah, be radical. Get stoked, dude,
that's your life. Like, I'm begging people not to spend
their whole life looking back and realized they spent their

(26:02):
whole life. They wasted so much energy hating themselves. Jack,
I'm talking to you.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Okay, I love myself. You have to know I because
all you do is you have kids.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
You pass that sh it down to your kids. Those kids,
pats just a generational trauma, just fucking living forever. And
you know, I was fucked up too, because when I
was reading when there's a chapter talking about her grandparents
and it's a fucked up, you know, situation that they had,
and it's like, oh, yeah, no, wonder they all. You know,
it's just generational, it's perpetual. It just never ends. But
somebody's got to break the cycle. And I'm just begging

(26:40):
people to stop having low self SeeMe. Look at what's
out there. Look what's on TV? Like everything is so
terrible and not good and you're like you're looking at
it going like I'm not good enough. It's like they're
not good enough.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
They're everyone else isn't good enough, everyone else isn't going
to be a really good No one.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Is good and get on people like, motherfucker, what's wrong
with you? Sit down? Look at this show. Let's watch
the show. What's your favorite show'st this motherfucker got you
feeling that? Fuck that exactly.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Let us take a quick break and we're gonna come
back and talk about somebody who should I think really
make everybody feel good about themselves. And that's one Jeff Bezos. Oh,
I mean you look at this guy like he's supposed
to be the uber mensh, the best, the best of us.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Another one, you should look at him, look at bad
about yourself, looking at him.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Exactly at him like we'll be right back, and we're back.
We're back, and.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
We got two billionaire related stories. One quick one is
better be Rihanna. No, this one's fucking annoying. A billionaire
news might have to start including trillionaire news because Elon
Musk is doing I p O of SpaceX, where yeah,
everyone in the financial world is just giddy about the
fact that like, once he takes Spie SpaceX spicex public,

(28:11):
it's going to be the biggest IPO of all time
and it'll make him a trillionaire.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
And oh if you are other people excited about this,
like just like it's going to.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Be the biggest thing because they're going to get rich,
I guess biggest redistribution of well.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
People like, yeah, he is.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
He is.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
I think a great example of what you're talking about
of just like, oh, you feel bad about yourself. Look
at this person who's about to be the richest person
in the history of the world and like adjusted for inflation.
Like yet, so you see this picture of him and
he looks like shit. Now watch him in motion, and
you've like never seen a person like he looks like
he's being operated by somebody who's never seen a human

(28:55):
being moved before.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
It's no wonder they want robots everywhere. Does that makes
them look more normal?

Speaker 3 (29:03):
He like everyone's always like he's on like so many
weird drugs, right, I'm like, I think that's the most
generous and generous interpretation of what's going on with him.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Anyways, we also have Jeff Bezos. Seems like he's just
horny for the guillotine is. Yeah, he's really he's challenging everyone.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
He's really tisty. He put his head in, he said, no, no, no,
let's see what else? What else you got? So yeah,
he I guess what he's like, the third or second
richest man on Earth. Ever, I don't know. I don't
know what the billionaire dick measuring chart looks like right now.
But he is really not into the whole tax the
rich thing. And he's out here now doing fucking TV

(29:45):
interviews with CNBC trying to tell the masses that raising
his taxes isn't gonna do shit. Okay, don't even fucking
try it.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Teacher in the Bronx, Nah, she don't matter, she don't
need my tax money.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Crazy crazy work here. So here he is being asked,
you know, around a bunch of fucking space ships because
there was like his like at his Blue Origin company.
So this guy's literally surrounded by space ships and he's
talking about his taxes. It's like, no point in raising
my taxes. Who's that going to help? I think he's
made a reference to you and others are able to

(30:21):
pay a lower tax rate even though you're paying it
enormous some taxes.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
A lower tax rate, well then somebody people uh, sometimes
say that.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
That you know. Also all right, if you're doing therapy
with Marcella, like bro, look at his listen to his nasally.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
He makes me feel better about myself Marcella by describing
Jeff Biz.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Real quick, No, why would I do that for you?

Speaker 7 (30:52):
Sometimes say that that you know I don't pay taxes.
So true, I paid billions of dollars in taxes and
it's a perfectly again, if people want me to pay
more billions, then let's have that debate.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Yeah, we're having you've been we've been asking you.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
To more billions, to play more billions, and even more
billions until you have like one hundred million dollars.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Maybe it's so much filler. He has a lisp. That's
what that sound is. That's what I don't know. If
you guys know this so much filler. When you have
that much filler in your face, you get a list.
It happens also with women who get too much lip filler,
they get a lisp.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
It's the ship ever completely effects just.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
They it's so full.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
I was I was wondering what was going on with
those boys?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
That it is the lisp is filler filler list again?

Speaker 3 (31:43):
They live rich people live in their world impediment.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, it's the fucking funniest ship when people I'm just like,
you have too much filler, you have lists, you have
a list.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
It's also wild and like I dissolve the filler and
you're like, oh, ship, okay, damn this man.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
I want people to have to talk with more Like
this dude doesn't even have any confidence in his speaking
and he's still up there like, no, I know what
I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Just lying, but here he is. Sure, if you want
me to pay more, we can have that debate that
we've been having for the last few decades. But go on, Jeff,
let's have that debate.

Speaker 7 (32:25):
But don't pretend you know that this that that's going
to solve the problem. You could you could double the
taxes I pay, and it's not going to help that
teacher in Queens.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I promise you.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Which one the does she already have like billions of dollars?
The teacher in Queen That one teacher in Queens who won.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
The power ball? Fine, Okay, sorry, who are you talking about?
Because really quick, here, let me just do some things. So,
Jeff Bezos, you know you said you're not you're not. Really,
let me crunch some numbers here. His his effective tax
rate is around one percent okay, the average for working

(33:03):
people around fourteen and a half percent. Okay, so much
so he's a one hut one percent Okay, that's me.
Because you wonder how this happens, right, Well, he only
takes a salary about eighty two thousand dollars from Amazon
because here, yeah, here, dude, hero, thank you, because when
you're that wealthy, the name of the game is all
about stock gains, honey. And he is a massive holder

(33:25):
of Amazon stock as its founder, and the gains on
the you know, the increase in value on that stock
price is how he pays for shit he borrows against
that stock. And that's that's what's going on, because right, right,
because you don't owe money on the increased value of
your stock prices until you sell them, right, So these

(33:45):
are unrealized gains, and there's no the way our tax
system works is there's no window for anybody to be
able to tax that shit until you sell it.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
I'm actually very poor. I'm absolutely very poor. Yeah, I'm
actually very poor.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Like not very liquid. I got I got his filler
on a on a group on actually you know did
he didn't work out too well? So I mean, like
the money he would owe is if he sells it again,
because all he does is just borrow against that. So
for all the talk of like we pay, like sure,
maybe as a quantity, but effectively of what your worth
is and the amount of money that you are generating,

(34:19):
you're paying, you're not paying, You're paying fuck all baby, right,
And so to then be like that's not going to
solve the problem is problem?

Speaker 3 (34:28):
We think, what does he think the problem is? If
inequality is not driven by him having all the money
and nobody else having the money, what is driving He.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Was basically saying that like the bottom half of earners
shouldn't pay taxes at all. It was just his thing.
But that's him just being like, well what if what
if you guys didn't pay taxes either?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
And he also said his government, government regulations was the
problem because that they do love to well yeah small government.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Well and also the other thing he said, we don't
have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. And
I tell that to all the programs that are being
cut left and right. Tell that to you know, like
things like Medicaid or Social Security.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I mean, I do appreciate his manipulation tactic of trying
to appeal to the lower bottom half, Like that's a
really smart way to trick people into supporting him.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
There was a point where he was exploring a run
for president, so he's thinking about things. He just doesn't
probably have any way of understanding how unpopular he would be,
Like a room full of other people, his instincts are
exactly wrong.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Yeah, what's just funny too. Again, even for all that
talk of like well they shouldn't pay, like the bottom
owner shouldn't really have to ownything either, it's like, again,
you are you're not even paying money on your shit.
That's really the big deal. It's like we have all
these The way the tax system is set up is
you can go out there and say, yes, I'm paying taxes,
but you're not acknowledging all the ways of all the

(36:01):
tactics that the wealthy have to not actually have to
pay on that stuff. And that's that's why this that's
why we are having this debate on what changes we
need to our system so that you're asked who's making
who made what one hundred and twenty seven billion dollars
or some shit like between. His wealth increase from one
hundred and twenty seven billions just from two thousand and
six to twenty eighteen, but he's just like, I only

(36:24):
made about five point six billion, because again, the way
the tax system is set up, he can just get
away with all that.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
And why is it set up like that? What a
weird what a weird figment of the system, What a
weird little trick of the system. I wonder if it's
because they've been spending billions and billions of dollars lobbying
to make it, because.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Again, they don't take fucking money. All these motherfuckers. The
reason they're so obsessed with the stock market is that's
how they that's how they get the tangible moneies, right,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
But it's an easy fix to make the system. It's
just a six that the American government is refusing to
make because it is run by these people and right
heavily influenced by these people.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
It's also crazy thinking about the numbers that his ex
wife how much money she's made I saw that story
well last week where it was like she's donated so much,
so many billions, and she's just made more billions just
sitting around just so crazy.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Yeah, and she sh earned it, you know, and.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Seven billion dollars in philanthropy.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
But that's what's crazy is that she's still making money
and she is donating as much as she can as
quickly as she can. And for him, it's like, oh no,
but I have to keep this to make more, but
I don't even really have this, so it's like I
can't even make more because technically it's not real. It's like, dude,
what the fuck are you talking.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Kenzie Scott has donated more than twenty six billion dollars
since twenty twenty. Jeff Bezos and Fox eleven News is
very own. Lauren Sanchez have only donated four point seven billion.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Wow. It's like what a normal person who isn't hell
bent on taking all the money from the world does
with the money, and they're like, oh, this feels weird,
like I shouldn't have this money, like get this, get
this away from me.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
And then and then because you already have so much,
it just makes just money on itself like that if.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
She owns they're just reading. She owns four percent of
Amazon stock, right, so she's like, broan need to just
I can take a little shavings off of this and
keep getting people. Yeah, it's crazy. And then meanwhile you
have this guy. They're just like, I pay, I pay
so much, I need to.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I don't need to pay more billions. People will have
so many billions and no human can use billions.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
This is how the money actually wouldn't help you. Money
wouldn't solve your problem. Yet I felt as a hundred billionaire,
I've actually discovered that money's empty. Money doesn't fix anything actually,
and then goes off in a jet pack.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
How bad you guys think it has to get here
for people to finally rise up start burning more shit down?
Because I think Luigi really starts setting a trend with
you know what he did, And now with all those
warehouses that have been burned.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Down, the Internet has to go down for two days straight.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Two days straight, okay, there, like there's like a shutdown
or something.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
The issue is that they're still like too.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Busy trying to I fully agree with that.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think people's material existences are
already in such dire things. It's just that it's a
tipping point of mathematically how many people are hanging dangling
on the edge like that. But yeah, it's hard to know,
hard to know, but they do a good job, you know,

(39:40):
feeding people distractions and saying it's this, that and the other,
when meanwhile you have fucking evildoers straight up on in
four K telling you, bro, you don't need my money,
you don't want this money.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Like it's honestly, it feels like they are trying to
jedi MI, just like you don't want this money?

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Is it daily like a distraction?

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Man?

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Like what we're doing with distraction?

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Mane? Yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Actually, Jeff Bezos said it is. He said that, like
you talking about how much money I have actually is
part of the problem.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Did you really say that?

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:13):
He left a comment. It was a two star review.
So thanks for the two bezos.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yea, Bezos, you guys talk too much about how much
money I have.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
Let's take a quick break.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
That we're bad.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Always bring us back so fast.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
I'm back. You were back, He's back to.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Back to life. Remember that song?

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Yeah, of course, So come on back to back to
back to back to you that song?

Speaker 3 (40:55):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (40:56):
How about that? Though?

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Do you remember that running on the Let's talk about
the White House Presidential Records Act is a thing that
this administration is doing their best to ignore. In April,
the Department of Justice declared the White House doesn't have
to comply with the Presidential Records Act, which is a
nineteen seventy eight law that was enacted after Watergate when

(41:20):
they were like, yeah, like it's too easy for it's
too easy for a president to do illegal shit. So
instead we are going to create this law where they
have to leave a paper trail. Everything they do is
on the record, so at least at least they will
be hemmed in by shame essentially, just like what it is,

(41:42):
so you can't just like openly do the crimes. And
for some reason, this administration doesn't love that. Yeah, you're like,
I don't feel like you need to see all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
You want fuckery receipts, So yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
A federal judge has ruled that the White House must
deserve all presidential records, including text messages exchange among its
top officials, which they don't like.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
But I'm just like, it's it's it's I'm so fucking cynical, because, yeah,
Judge can say that, but in my mind I know
that the white I was like, what the fuck are
they going to do?

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Right? You go out to Park Avenue and shoot someone
and no one's gonna what was the quote?

Speaker 2 (42:24):
He said, right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Yeah, He's basically right.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
He's like, I can go out there completely not know
who my own son is on the weekend of his
wedding and people aren't going to say that I shouldn't be.
Oh yeah, what happened with that?

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Fucker?

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Was asked about if he is going to his own
son's wedding this weekend because Doju is getting married this weekend. Uh,
and he was asked at an Oval office thing, I'll
play this answer. It's just just asking me. He goes, hey,
are you going to your son's wedding? And the way
he wraps it up is very interesting.

Speaker 6 (42:59):
He'd liked go, but it's going to be just a small,
little private affair, and I'm going to try and make it.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
I'm in the midst.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
I said, you know, this is not good timing for me.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
I have a think already.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Asshold it's funny, you know what. You know what I
hear in that because he always says the backwards. He
always says the opposite of what he means. I mean,
it's a small wedding because they're trying to find a
way to not invite him. He is like, they scheduled
it so that he couldn't go, and they were like,
how do we keep this just twenty people?

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Oh but look, but he flips his answer to sound
like you know, because he's balling right now.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Now.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
This is not good timing for me. I have a
thing called Iran and other things. That's what I can't
win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If
I don't attend, I get killed by the frank news.
Of course I'm talking about No. But he's got a
very person who I've known for a long time.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Wait, yeah, but he's got a very person I've known
for a long time.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
That last part one more time, one more time.

Speaker 6 (44:02):
Got a very person I've known for a long time,
And hopefully they're gonna have a great marriage.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Was he talking about his wife?

Speaker 1 (44:10):
I think he's talking about the wife person for a
very long time. Yeah, I know, we wanted it to
be a son. We did both want to.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Play back, got a very Oh he's trying to find wife.
He's got a very person that.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Is also trying to like he was going to say
very beautiful, but then like cut stopped himself. And do
you think.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
He's not invited to the wedding, Because.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
I think he's invited to the wedding.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
No, don Junior is going to pig like he is.
He is apoplectic right now.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
Know the way that he described the wife person I've
known for a very long time. She does not want
him there.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
She might not.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
That's what I'm saying. He has assaulted her and she
does not want him there. That's my that's my because
the way he just said, he's.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Got a person very long.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Something at the beginning where it's like it's going to
be small private, Yeah, yeah, because they.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Were like, that is what you tell people who aren't invited.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
That's what you're talking about, going to be small.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
It's actually a small family thing.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
You don't need to because Molly, I don't want to go.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
You don't want to go. It's just so funny though too,
And it's like Dad, I don't know if it's good
to have you there, it's going to be a small
He's like, it's not good timing for me either. Yeah,
good timing anyway.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Well perfect, that's exactly Iran.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
That you're not dealing with motherfucker, you're golf all the time. Yeah,
he seems so busy talk about bad timing.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
He just has no like he thinks he's going to
get in trouble for going to his own son's wedding.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
That's how you know he knows that's not true. That's
not true. He loves a party. Come on, He's at
all the parties. He will go to any party.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
The night of he like throws a competing party like
down the street. He might I suck loser, the.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Real Donald Junior kid Rock come out.

Speaker 3 (46:05):
I just if in a world where, like I guarantee
they're not going to want to leave the files and
the digital record behind. I also think they're probably not
savvy enough to not you know, these are the this
is the administration that like accidentally joins the WhatsApp group
and or like invites the reporter. Yeah, they're like there's

(46:28):
going to be entire like Trump administration studies departments that
are just like digital forensics and history, like history departments
just combined to just like looking at what how many
water gates they were averaging a week, Like I bet
they were putting up at least like three water gates

(46:49):
a week in terms of yeah, maybe a day a minute. Yeah,
it's just like non stop.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
I mean, just like even like I'm I would love
to see what kind of communications there were to his
fucking stock person, the person managing his stock portfolio. Yeah,
you're gonna have to sell that right away, or someone
from an intermediary. He's like, I got a big call
coming up. What happens from the nvideo meeting? Yeah, yeah,
he's low key texting. He's like, sell, sell, sell, bye

(47:17):
bye bye.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
I can't wait for these records to be revealed and
for nothing to happen, or if they're even preserved.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
That's the thing, And I mean, like that's where you
think about like the Democrats, what they're doing is like
you know, like people are seeing this ship and they're
wondering if someone's gonna be like, we're not gonna let
these motherfuckers get away with this ship.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
But that's no one's gonna say that's that's out of
their purview at the moment.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, we're like, what do you mean? I didn't even
know the text? Away with Water?

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Yeah, all right, how do we feel about Michael Bay?
We're all big fans. We can just move on. You
you love this guy movie Transformers.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Which one is he? What has he done too?

Speaker 2 (48:00):
So he's done?

Speaker 3 (48:02):
He started, He started off when he started, but now
it ship's garbage.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
You know.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
He had Armageddon, the rock he probably peaked with, and
then from there it's been what he do. He did
Pearl Harbor, yep, he did the island. He did he
did a bunch of forgettable ship. But he also he
has kind of a history of making movies that are

(48:27):
basically like people are going to be writing their term
papers on them, like people who aren't that good at
looking at the symbolism of the political content of things, right,
like in the way that everybody wrote a term paper
about how Rocky four was secretly about the Cold War.
You know, it's like, yeah, yeah, pretty obviously that.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Basically first, his first big hit was Bad Boys, Bad Boy,
So bad Boys he kind of eat with like for
like bad Boys, Bad Boys too, yeah, so different from.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
The other stuff, which tells me he stole the idea
from someone.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
Well, he was doing music video before and then he
also did that got Milk commercial with that Aaron bur
that's a Michael Baye joint. Okay, Yeah, but then yeah,
because then his run was The ra Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon,
Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys to the Island, Transformers, Transformers, Revenge

(49:24):
of the Fallen, Transformers, Dark of the Moon.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Panic Watching, none of this type of shit.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah, Transformers, Age of Extinction, thirteen Hours. And that's the
one where he was really like, Okay, we see what
you're doing now.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
That was the BEng Ghazi movie where they were he
was like, I'm just trying to make a political movie.
But yeah, it basically takes every every like takes into
a cat like everything that like Fox News would have
said about Benghazi, like it's it's all Obama admitted. Like
even though the movie doesn't say the Obama administration fucked up,

(49:56):
it's like the people in charge keep making terrible decisions.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Fuck them. Yeah, And the whole, the whole narrative prior
to that was this Benghazi Benghazi, Benghazi Benghazi and laying
that at the feet of Hillary Clinton. So then when
the film came out, people were like, in the issues
about to run for president again, that.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Donald I remember, yes, yes, yeah, so yeah, the timing
was horrifying.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
Anyways, he's got a new movie coming out.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
How exciting.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Yeah, that's about Operation Epic Fury and specifically the rescue
of that downed American pilot in April. It's based on
a book that comes out in twenty twenty seven, So
they're they're getting they're getting.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
A jump on greedy. Are these motherfuckers? Like, hey man,
who got the rights of this news story? They're like, yeah,
crazy that the book isn't even I was like, yeah,
we're adapting this. I don't know. It's gonna make an
action film that makes the US look like they're the
good guys.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
He also directed a secret service recruitment super Bowl ad
that featured like a bombastic photo of the Trumpet assassination
attempt to.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Be like this hero, you could be part of an
amazing photo op too.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
Yeah, I'm glad.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
I've never watched any of his movies except Bad Boy.
I know I watched that.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Bad Boys Bad Boy. Yeah, you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Do what what? What's America's obsession with these types of movies?
What do you guys think.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
It's like the most I mean, he probably it helps
that there's like an American flag blowing in the wind
every fifteen.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
American flag exactly.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
I mean, I think it's also his films do reinforce
this idea of like American might and exceptionalism, and you know,
like Armageddon, it's like these fucking oil rig guys gotta
fucking save earth. Shout out to these like these you know,
blue collar American guys. And I think, what was it?
What was the question ben Affleck asked him that like
pissed him off about them film.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Yeah, so the movie Armageddon is like to talk about
this wing.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Let's call a little bit of a setup. I remember
when I we first told him, was like, this is
so fucking funny because during the one.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
To watch Jack come Alive, when it's a certain topic
Jack was.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
I think, ben Affleck said to Michael bay.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
So during the producer like director's commentary for Armageddon, ben
Affleck got a little drunk and was talking about the
movie and was like, you know, one time I asked Michael, hey,
wait a second, wouldn't it be easier to teach astronauts
how to drill for oil than it would be to

(52:31):
teach oil drillers how to be astronauts, and Michael Benn's
response was a Ben, shut the fuck up, because.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
Again that's like another thing where like expertise is overshadowed
by just like the brawny guys, that was really tough,
the learning curve. You're kind of doing it the hardest
way possible.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
But this goes back to what Jack was saying earlier
about the system is set up to provide you with
low self esteem when in reality all this ship is
bullshit and people actually watch that and they feel dumb
or ugly or like they're not good enough, and oh
my god.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
His one outlier politically is probably The Rock is the
One movie, because one is the Rock.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
The Rock is the Wae and Sean Connery they go
to Alcatraz and the guys are.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Terrorists.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
It's just not I'm clear, that's nothing for me.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
That's how I know you've see if you dated more
ain't ship men, you you really have kept scrubs out
of your life. God's damn, you've got self esteem. You
never heard of the Rock, You've never been in some
man's tiny beds. I put t and t on the rocks.
Probably on the Britos.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
I could never like these movies are really saying. I'm
just like what I'm.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
I'm honestly, I'm so impressed that you're.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
It's also say too because Nicholas Cage is a NEPO baby,
so like there's so much of like going back to
Jack said, the system that's built to be straight up
bullshit because it's like, Okay, we have this terrible movie idea,
let's get a NEPO baby because no one else will
cast him even though its Cage is great, but still
he some of the movies he picked over the years

(54:22):
just like, bro, what the fuck, you're not that dead?

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Leave in Las Vegas. He was like, Bro, I'm done, Bro,
I can whatever.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
There are some people who just can't stop, you know,
like who just cannot stop. Yeah, we're doing the I'm
doing the research for the Bob Dylan episode right now.
He's been on tour since like eighty eight. The mother
Freger just cannot stop touring.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
It's crazy, you know.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
You know what it is. It's somebody who doesn't want
to be in the house, just can't be alone with
their thoughts or their partner or their kids, and they
got to be out in the world because they got
to dip into that Pidgeon lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
You know, there you go.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
He also Nicholas CA's not great with his money. It's
gone into dead a number of times buying we talked
about t Rex skeletons and shit.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Yeah, right right. Nicholas Cage's film after winning the Oscar
for leaving Las Vegas was The Rock.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
So that's right, so he knew. Yeah, yeah, He's like,
all right, I want to do something that kicks ass.
But yeah, I mean there's like all these little like
political like in Bad Boys Too, there's a shot of
like Will Smith and his love inters like make out
in front of Guantanamo Bay the second Transformer, like they

(55:32):
name check Obama. They it's like they're like, what's Obama
going to have us do? And like he makes the
dumbest decision possible they like engage in diplomacy with the
Decepticons and Earth is like barely saved because of his
dumb shit decision. The Rock is the one where it's
like it's specifically about the blowback from a legal American
covert operations overseas.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
And like it's a brainy nerd.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
Nicholas Cage plays like a smart guy and then you
know Sean Connery is from Scotland.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
I'm assuming I stopped paying attention to what you were describing.
This is the easiest way for me not to even
know anything.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Do not engage. But this is just a crazy anecdote
of history is that Britain when they were making their
case for the like invading Iraq in the run up
to the you know, false invasion into Iraq, British intelligence
used the plot of The Rock. They said that they
had valuable intelligence that they were Saddam Hussein was producing

(56:32):
chemical weapons stored in linked hollow glass spheres, which is
very specifically like this one visual that everybody remembers from
the movie The Rock, and people were like, wait, that's
just the movie The Rock, and everybody just ignored that
person who said that until now years late, like in
twenty sixteen, thirteen years after the disastrous war that cost

(56:55):
millions of lives. It was eventually revealed that the source
was a fabricator who had lied from the outset, which
you probably should have known when they were just stealing
the weapon from the movie The Rock.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Yeah, I mean, like that person should have like the
biggest yo, we really fucked up bro metal. For the
person who was like, this is from the Rock, guys like,
they shut the fuck up. Okay, this is from a
respected intelligence source.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
I'm just a guy.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
When they said this is just from the Rock, they
thought they meant the wrestler the.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Rock, like bitch, I thought it was the Rock.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
They're like, probably a woman who brought it up. So
people were like, we can't listen to her.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
Why is she talking about the wrestler the Rock?

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Go down a few lines in the paragraph they talk
about Brigadier General Francis X Rummel. That's that's Harris's fucking
character from the Rock.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
That's she's being so crazy, dramatic, traumatic, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Guys, No pigeons in the meetings, man, No pigeons.
