Speaker 1 (06:11):
That's weird that something's going on.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Anyways, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our
third seat once again by one of my favorite stand
up comedians, a hilarious comic, writer, actor, producer, creator of
the post Rattle compliment, contest, Never Seen It podcast and
live show where famous comedians rewrite classic movies they've never
(06:35):
seen You can enshuld. You must go stream his special
Happiness or buy it. He will be performing his show
Hard to Say at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival August first
through twenty fifth. Welcome back to this show. The hilarious Kyleweer,
we did it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
We did it. Happy National, that's definitely copyright infringement. Dayify
Words with Friends Day, Happy Doctor Thunder Day, Happy pal
World Day. I'm just a big fan of things that
are blatant copyright. And wait, what was doctor Thunder? Oh
it's just a Shasta's Doctor Pepper. Yeah. They're like, no, no,
(07:15):
it's two people can have degrees.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh that's Thunder.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But you think there's only one doctor. Doctor Thunder does
not match the taste of of the beveret.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Wasn't the isn't the the Great valued Mountain Duke? Like
Mountain Lightning or something? There mountains and it was also
has mountain Like They're like, yeah, bro, we got to
keep the first war. If it's a two word name,
you gotta keep the first name.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
People they'll freak out Hill Lightning. Yeah, that's actually like
putting lightning in there is actually an improvement. But Doctor
Thunder moves us way off base from what I think.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Doctor Thunder is the Surgeon's General Florida, right.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He was appointed by a whole covin living thunder Bay.
Is that a real place, Florida thunder Bed Bay? Oh,
ship miles, you've Uh, you've been indoctrinated into the world
of paw patrol.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, no, no, no, that's that is that from paw
patrol too. I think that takes place. It is a
place in Canada. That is what I'm realizing that the.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Paw patrol of countries. Yeah, just because their cops are
generally favorably looked.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Upon, right, and cute dogs. They're all cute dogs. I
thought it was thunder Bay. Maybe maybe I got it wrong,
don't worry.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, I mean to derail us into this.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
No, this is what we're talking about now. Unfortunately, Kyle,
you're going to Edinburgh.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm going. I'm gonna pronounce an Edinburgh to all of
their faces. Aberg.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, I think we would know. I'm from the country.
That's what I'm gonna call America while i'm there.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, they love that from the country, the United States
of America.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Like an Ohio State football player. The have an iron brew.
You know, got to have an iron Brew. Oh, I'm
excited to go. I've never been over there. Someone.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I was doing an interview when someone asked me what
the most Scottish thing I'd ever done was. I don't
know what you all would answer that I said, I've
never seen Brave Heart, but I pretend to.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Have, right.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I got choked up in the early scene in Braveheart
where the little boy like gives the little girl a flower.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That choked me up. So that's probably the most Scottish
thing that I have.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I definitely haven't seen it. I feel like I don't
know how they. I feel like they don't like it
but also want its association.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah if that man both way Scotland. Yeah, man, Braveheart.
I haven't seen Braveheart in a while. That is one
of those movies that when I was a kid and
saw it, I thought it was the greatest film that
I'd ever seen. And then there was a point in
my twenties where I saw it again and I I
couldn't couldn't believe how bad it was.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So that maybe you.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Don't revisit stuff, otherwise it won't be what it was,
you know what I mean. I'm not the you know,
Star Wars exists exactly for this reason.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
One I one time, one Halloween, I did a mash
up costume where I was Pharrell Williams Wallace. Did you
really Yeah? This is when he wore that big Vivian
Westwood big ass hat that he would wear that big
brimmed hat that I was wearing like ten years ago.
So I wore that with like blue flou and a kilt.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Okay, oh I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Going to be off those legs man, Yeah, I mean, look, bro,
you're just trying to show off the gams.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You know. That's anything I gotta do, baby, you know,
to do to get you in a skirt?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
What you say as I finger, Those are the best
Halloween costumes when you just do you have to explain
what it. I was he gb Phoebe Bridgers last year
because she always wears that skeleton suit, you know. Yeah,
so I was just a zombie version of Phoebe Bridgers.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh shit. Yeah. Then I think those are the ones
that like only get like kind of comedians or people
like really excited, Like, dude, it's the best pun. I
don't know if it's good, but in my mind, yeah,
I love that. This is what I am.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
It just feel bad because you can hear you can
tell people are hearing you tell everyone else that. So
there's people at the party hearing me say he BGB
seventy times, yeah right right? Which person?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
One at a time? Oh, yeah, Hey, it's heb GB
Phoebe right, Yeah, yeah, Phoebe Bridge. Yeah, I mean I'll
take that too.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Right, all right, Kyle, we're gonna get to know you
a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going
to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're
talking about. Biden got TDZ, he got zeitgeisted bro. We
talked about how it was time for could be so
inaccurate by the time comes out. Anyways, it's it seems
like the pressure is mounting for the reports to get
(11:53):
treatment for his COVID nineteen diagnosed.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, it seems like there's a lot of people lining
up to be like Amene here, I'm not I'm not
OPTI I'm still not optimistic because the latest that anyone
said as of this recording is like we're just gonna
let him like make the decision for himself, Like he's
gonna be isolating and thinking, and I can tell you
(12:19):
when he when he thinks by himself, he generally has
the same thought, which is that he's the greatest president
that ever existed and like nobody else can win. So
I'm not super optimistic, but it does We called for
a revisiting of this issue, and it seems to be
getting revisited with with a vengeance. They heard talk about
(12:40):
Janstance Vance doing his working class ally thing on the
larpin larpin, doing a little larpin, and it feels like
I'm seeing a lot of people take him seriously as
like an economic populist.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So I just want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Are they white, Miles, You're not gonna believe this?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They are? Ah, he wouldn't lie. Yeah, I'm gonna give
him a shot. I'm gonna give this guy a shot.
But it's I think it's like record.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So abnormal for Republican to even like write it's shocking
gesture in.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
The direction of the working class that like over the
past twenty years that they're just like who they're like melting. Yeah,
but using that verbiage too, of like saying like the
work workers union and non union alike, like yes, oh wow, okay,
popular sell.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Union and non union of like mainly non union alike.
You preferred non union because I get a lot of
my money from CEOs.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yeah, But if he floats the other words, he gets
to like justify the racist union people's votes for Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Right, right, exactly. Yeah, he's like, well I hate, I
have my heart said full of hate.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
But this guy least.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Made it okay. He opened the door for me to
not have to be quiet. Yeah. Yeah, so hopefully that's
not successful. We'll talk about that, well all we'll also
talk about Matt Matt Gates. Is that how we're pronouncing that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Yeah, Matt Matt mart just launched his new face at
the r n C and it is a is a statement.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Ye big he went, He went big. It was it
was like from day to like.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I saw him in a clip heckling Kevin McCarthy and
he looked like Matt Gates. And then he took the
stage and he looked like remember when the Joker in
the Tim Burton Batman, like would steal people's soul and
then they would like come out with like face paint,
(14:52):
you know, like they they're underneath they were like white,
and then they would put like makeup of normal there,
like normal skin c over top of it.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Like that you're saying, if someone hit him with the
wet rag, the clown would would show up underneath. Yes,
he would have the Joker ship going on underneath. If
you wet ragged his face. This is what I'm saying.
I'd always I always bring up this movie reference. But
he he does kind of look like sort of when Dorian,
the bad guy from the Mask puts the mask on,
but you're part way there. I don't know why. It's
(15:25):
like it accentuates his eyebrowsers.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, he looks like he's seeing his face for the
first time all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
All right, all right, Monica, let me see how he
did turn the chair around again. Another joker reference.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
A lot of comparisons to like the evolution of a
face of the Real Housewife, like oh yeah, yeah. But
before we get to any of that, ship h Kyle,
we do like to ask our guest, what is something
from your search history that is revealing about who you are?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
So we bringfuly talked about Scotland and I'm going to Scotland.
I'm so I've been doing some talks with people there
and I'm so overwhelmed by it. I click on my
Google to show the drop down and the last thing
I had typed in was what time is it in
Scotland in August. That's a great question, and I'm so
tired all the time. I think I wanted to know
(16:22):
what the weather was like in Scotland, and I'm always
googling what time is it there now? So I can
send like what's that messages to whatever? But yeah, like
what time is it going to be in Scotland in August?
And then even like reading the sentence like that's all
the parts of a sentence.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, you know it tracks for me, I think, And
it's six they just came back with sick.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
They just got back. It'll be six there in August
probably that I'm just so feels like.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
A conversation, like one half of a conversation that you
would see an AI having with itself, right.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Like one of one of the weird apps that's not
even the official She'll chat GPT, but you'll be like
talk to bot.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Right right right.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I feel like you could ask Google's AI assistant that
and they would come back with a very confident answer.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh that's way too long.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah, yeah, in August it will be six am. And yeah,
I thought you were also doing because for jet lag
preparation that helps too, like a few days before I.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Just I don't even know how any of that's gonna work.
I've only been in Europe one time.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's easier to go ahead. It's like it's much easier
to adapt to going there, think coming back. I think, yeah,
or at least in my experience, it's easier to transition
to that time.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
I'm going directly to Missouri from Scotland for my family reunion.
I was like, what can I get a flight from
Edinburgh to Kansas City? And the flight site was basically
just like why no one has asked for this before?
No One is like, you know, you're gonna have to
go to Detroit twice? Like it was such an hot
(17:59):
as the website, you like, was just buffering, and then
I could hear my computer go, so.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You're gonna connect through Detroit, then go to Buffalo and
then back to Detroit.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
For some reason, the only things.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Who've ever asked for this are like people who work
for twenty three and meter. These are the only people
who will have made this route.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, what is something you think as underrated?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Underrated? Vastly underrated? Should be talked about?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The most often are big, giant, stupid tiki drinks. Hmm,
I love these giant tiaki drinks. I love tiki culture.
I'm all in. Give me tiki bars, gimme hilarious tiki
bars and tiki culture. Feel like if couples and struggling
marriages worked on it instead of getting into swinging.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right, That's that's like the furthest It goes like, Hey.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
If you get swinging, you just go to cruises. If
you work on it, you just hang at tiki bars
and you really like goofy drinks with funny names.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's like, yeah, the the most problematic we get is
the white gaze on coll Anesian culture. Yeah, that's that's
how we get our rock.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
And that's the name of one of the Pina Colada drinks. Yeah,
but it's a y z and I love the I'm
all in. I just decided this is what I like now,
and I don't. I want to go to tiki bars.
I think they're funny. I think they're weird. They have
old One of the coolest bars in the world is
a tiki t in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I really love these things. I just want to go.
Everyone's friendly and it's funny and it's dark inside and
the drinks are hilarious.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
You were saying before we started recording, it was mainly
like you started noticing your affection increase around Charlottesville, right,
that's you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I did.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I did the torches. Unfortunately, that drove prices up and
if you look up driving in Charlottesville it's not good either.
So it's because it's just reopened, I think, right, because
they were closed for a minute. I think tragically someone
in their family passed away.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
What I love about tik t is they seem to
own their land and their business and their property and
there right in the middle of Silver Lake, but they
don't need to be open that much. They are just
you know, this is such la insider baseball. But they're
next to the Scientology production Center and they haven't sold
their land to it yet, and I love that there
are like an acre of land next door. They just
(20:16):
closed for months. They're like, we're closed for August and
September so our employees can chill because they don't know
anyone anything. Only twenty people can go inside. I love them,
And I'm all in on tiki drinks.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
What's It's so funny. I was at City Walk and
I went to Bubba Gump Shrimp and they got like
a tiki like an tiki drink, and they're like, you know,
for like an extra buck, you can take the glass
home with you, and I'm like, yes, wait, really, yeah,
I have the dumbest right now. I haven't used it,
but I have a Bubba Gump shrimp tiki glass. It's
(20:47):
there's something I don't know what it is, Kyle, I'm
here with you. There's this something so campy but comforting
about this weird parallel universe, like where like this tiki shit.
I don't know, it's just I love it.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I want to say victory.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
By the way, Yeah, just just wrote for one dollar
three question marks and then we just saw a Victor
shaped hole in the wall behind him. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Well, the thing is you could also have taken it
home for free.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
They're trying to get you to pay a dollar to
not steal it and to feel okay about theft, because
I'm sure enough of them walked out the door. It
was like the the the Moscow Mules Mug Great Theft
of twenty fourteen that where every bar went under investing
in them.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Lie bro the Griffin. I'm sorry, I was taking your
fucking copper mugs full before you were asking for IDs.
I would know when they.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Started asking they would hold your ID if you got
a Moscow.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
For the copper mug. I'm like, no, figure, this is mine.
Oh man, I have way too many of those. I'm
not proud of them, but it is fourtiki glasses, Give
me the t give me nice. What are tiki glasses?
They're they're just like usually like ceramic with like painted
you know.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Sort of like a weird face or a mass looking thing,
or like a parrot or something like that. It's like
Marguerite Deville without the ticketmaster fees.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Nice precisely.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Award shows as a whole, Yeah, let's relax. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Every award show feels like it could be an email.
And uh, just every time the Emmy nominations come out,
everyone's like, why did all the shows we all liked
to get nominated?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Uh? And you like, I don't know, Probably probably because
someone paid the money.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I don't know what. The discourse around them is always
the same. No one knows what a comedy is anymore.
And I don't need to go on the diet tribe
that the Internet has gone on about.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That, right. Did you see someone did like a joke
count of like jokes per episode of Like the Bear
and like trying her.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Episode, I think we're going to go across the entirety
of the show because.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
In an episode and like juxtaposing that with like what
is a quote unquote comedy, and I'm like, I yeah, dude,
TV is so different.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
They feel weird, even like the SP's. I used to
watch the SP's so norm could say horrible things at them,
and now it seems like a self sort of masturbatory
sports day. I'm a Chiefs fan. I won't even watch
award shows that's that's a little celebration of the Chiefs
every year. Now I just am like, I think something
about the pandemic and kind of killed the idea of
(23:27):
celebrity pedestal, and I think that we're all a little
bit And there's a lot of people I really really
love and are very deserving of these awards, and I
think it's great and wonderful, but something about them just
feels a little bit it I'm a little tired.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's like what was that what is it called the
Island that Ewan McGregor movie, mm hmmm, where you know
like all those people were like I'm going to the island,
even though they were just all being like harvested. They're
all clones with their like organs being harvested. But like
it used to be, like I felt like our version
of celebrity worship was like we all want to get
to the island, Like that is so cool. And to
(24:00):
your point, Kyle Covid absolutely fucked all that up because
once people were like really had to sit with like
what is my life materially like when I'm not working
versus like someone hyper wealthy, And like those celebrities did
that Imagine video. I think the Imagined video actually killed it.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, I think they were working during that, and everybody
should shut the fuck up. You were trying to save
America with their charisma.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
If your zoom background is blurry, I can still tell
that's a pool. It doesn't matter if you blurt it out.
I know you're in front of a like a fountain.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I've been hitching for a while. Did we just do
an entire like week of episodes.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
About the Imagine video on Daily's Like I just like
really deep dive.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Together. Yeah, well that's good. Gay dot like dot like yeah, yeah,
it's an homage. M hm hmmm, but what a I
don't know why I used a Michael Bay film to
try and describe the heaven.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You're basically describing Heavan and you're like.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's like the island.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
We all aspired to get on con Air we just
didn't know, right, Or I think con Air Force one
is what it is at this point.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, just trying to get off the rock. You know
that's true. But they keep making Jumanji movies. Yeah, oh
JAMII fantastic. I was watching them on. I think we
need not to go counter everything, but I think we
need more award shows. I think we need an award show.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
For Sometimes award shows get nominated for Oscars, right, and
that is like the craziest thing. I feel like that's
what happens, like for dies or something like that. Yeah,
Emmy's the Emmy for Best Awards Show. And when the
Emmy's loses that, I'm like, Okay, we get it. You're
trying to be nice.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
They should be winning that. Come on, come on, there's
got to be something.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Imagine you run the Emmys and you lose that Emmy,
like while you're at work, you feel horrible.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What about an award show for politicians? Though, like, you know,
we don't know. I think I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
That that's I feel like the next like I could
see somebody pitching that, like, well, I guess I'm working
on this Kennedy show and they Jfkdjunior did the like
sexy politics magazine George, and it is like such a misguided,
(26:28):
misbegotten idea that people like took seriously. They're like, yeah, no,
that makes sense, like Harrison Ford and a George Washington
wig like that that's hot composed to the people I know.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I mean, honestly, I think I'd be more invested in
like going microscopic, like on award shows like Who's the
Best regional Electrician in Southern.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I love that you could call it like the yelp
sifting Yeah, yeah, where it's like I think hyper local
awareness and recognition is so nice important And I don't
hate awards, you know, and I just am like, come on,
and yeah, the second I'm nominated for anything that's real
in any capacity, they'll be my favorite thing. But the
second I can like wear a suit to a nice chair,
(27:11):
you'll never hear from me again. But it but because
sometimes there's like wonderful recognition in the oscars seem to
we would say like quote unquote get it right, but
I still am like, but then what but what it's
just the uproar about that. I think maybe getting awards
is fine, but not getting awards shouldn't be the end
(27:32):
for anything.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, well yeah, I think we're just
so we were just become so obsessed with like the
game around, like predicting awards shows and all that kind
of stuff that at this point, like I think, yeah,
just our values have kind of moved on where it's
like I don't care if this person who has everything
in their life going right for them gets another thing
(27:55):
that's good.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I think we feel excited for a lot of firsts
and a lot of like initial record mission and then
eventually you're like, yeah, but I'm still like tired at.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Home, right right, right? Yeah. I think once Leonardo DiCaprio
got his Oscar, that was like the peak. Everyone's like,
all right, dude, who gives a fuck anymore?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
He was one of the eight best performances in that movie.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I was into the Emmys back when Frasier won every year,
just tuning in being like can they do it again?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yes, It's just crack.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Something will pop up and you'll be like Steve Carell
didn't win one. Yeah right, yeah, but that's the only
thing we even think about from that decade.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Is just how right and they can get it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
All right, let's take a quick break and then we'll
come back and talk about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And we're bad.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And so fairly recently a couple of days ago, they
were talking about let's just virtual role call the the
nominating process to cement Biden in there and all this conversation.
That conversation ended with the attempted assassination of Trump. Move
it along, and that now now it's come out that
(29:19):
people are not moving on from this, that like all
of the major Democratic leaders behind the scenes have been
openly calling for him to step down, and are now
that he is like not showing signs of responding to
those calls, leaking that ship to the media with a vengeance.
(29:44):
It was like a new story from a new like
Democratic Party luminary every half hour last night or like
lasday night.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
And then Adam Schiff was like, He's like, oh, bro,
it's time you went Schiff Schumer. See within like a
matter of five hours, it was just like.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah, me too, and yeah, they were gonna do that
virtual roll call right, But Biden couldn't remember his Zoom password,
and it was just him trying to identify motorcycles in
a catch of code for a little while and they
lost him there and they were like, well, we got
to do this at a different time.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
He can't.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
He doesn't know what our sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You don't believe that crap.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That's him yelling at his Zoom for not letting him in.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
He's like, really upset he can't have an exclamation point
in his password.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Bo but incorrect password. Don't believe that, mister president. Why
do you mash the keypad a few more times and
see what happens for your password? All? Right, here we go? Uh?
But yeah, it's the pressure is is ramping up now,
like Axios is reporting that top Dems believe that now
(30:52):
Biden may actually be finally considering his future. So like
a week ago, he wouldn't even entertain a fucking conversation
with someone who was like on the naysayer side or
doubter side. But now it sounds like that resistance has wayne.
He's begun to talk to these people a little bit more.
He's even begun to ask, like what Kamala Harris's chances
would be if he were to drop out and she
(31:15):
were at the top of the ticket, which a lot
of people took that as like that's he went from
never even acknowledging shit like that to the fact that
he's asking that. A lot of aids say, I mean,
it's a matter of when not if at this point.
But again, the.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Details around that though, was that he's been saying Kamala
can't win man Coma, which is so.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Fucked Uh yo, that's you, that's your VP.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
You got a lot of saying that about someone you
picked to be your friend at work.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, yes, you picked to be your second in command.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And then it's just it is so like it is comedic.
It will be funny once he actually steps down to
just look back at what like how he went from
being like I'm just I'm just doing it for one
I'm just doing it for one guys, to like nobody
else can win, I'm the greatest, like politician. Just the
(32:06):
amount of wild, unrestrained ego, right and just like unapologetic,
just like I'm not gonna step down unless there's zero
chance that I win.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Which is shocking behavior from a boomer, some sort of
selfish I was strong enough, he'd pull the whole ladder
up behind him.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
He's like, when I became an adult, that was at
the peak of human knowledge and experience. I will not
hear anything from anyone else anymore. Also, I was eating
a lot of lead on accident on accident. But yeah,
a lot of people think now that the COVID diagnosis.
Again for people, don't I probably have heard this one.
He has COVID h and being in isolation, that maybe
(32:49):
the decision will be made as early as this weekend
to step down the COVID thing. I'm like, part of
me is like, I don't doubt it because the infection
rates are like really wild in certain parts of the country.
But other parts of me is like, that's a great
way to be. Like, Yo, man, here's a two week pause,
real quick, bro, Like you got.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Giving him a two week pause? That could be half
of the time left. Yeah, right, because the percentages of
time he's committing to this goes up and up and
up as every day goes by.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Or I was thinking of that movie Dave again. I
hate to bring up movies by Gum even right in
movie Or they switched out the president because he had
a stroke or whatever. I was like, maybe they'll get
some other spry Joe Biden look like in there. But anyway,
that's what the Democrat Republicans probably think.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I just all right, I'm gonna do a labor movie
metaphor go here, all right? You know in inception where
Marion Courtyard that has the false belief like buried in
her brain that she's in her dream and.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Right right, you just can't get there actually out of
the dream party, I.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Mean yeah there, no, yeah, yeah, she they're out of
the dream, but she thinks it's she's in real life,
is the dream?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
And so total, but like it just unshakable, and like
every time he thinks he's like won the argument, she
just like shows up on like a fucking windowsill being
like and now I'm going to try. Like it's just
I think all of this idea of like we're just
gonna let the president think have a think on this
(34:19):
by himself for a couple of days and he's gonna
come out making the right decision. I just I feel
like that's not happening.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I think that's why to accept him.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yes, I think we need this is the most we've
ever needed. An inception.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
But if you want to accept Biden, you just have
to whisper it twice while he's awake, and then just
when he's not looking at you.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
He'll be so much happier stepping down.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
But Trump got incepted for four years watching Fox in
his office in the Oval office. He just watched TV
and he's like, I think I thought that, Yeah, did
you think that? Is that why you're wanting a bunch
of pillow in the White House?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
That is what the other day. My name's Coka Carlson.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
I mean, these people are so easy to incept at.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
The time, but I think, yeah, like with the Biden thing,
right like before it was sort of they were like,
you know, the best way is that Biden comes to
this conclusion on his own, and it didn't get there.
So I think that's why now they're like, all right,
plan b just straight up shame this motherfucker and him,
like you know, like you they have Chuck Schumer apparently
(35:29):
like privately they spoke to him, like Chuck Schumer met
up with him in Delaware like last Saturday and was like,
this is not looking good at all for us down ballot.
You need to really think about doing what's best for
the country, and.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Like it was Saturday though, and since Saturday he has
been like, I'm not going anywhere, man.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I think it's but it's getting anywhere, running to the press.
But now you have more public discent happening. You don't
believe that crap monel But the other thing that may
weigh on him too is like some of the polling,
because sixty five percent of Democrats also just were like, leave,
this is not good, man, This is not this is
(36:10):
just not heartening in any way. How do the people
he needs to one hundred percent vote for him? Most
are worried. And I think that should be a worrisome poll. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And you know, and while there wasn't like an explosive
sort of post shooting polling bump for Trump, Biden is
still looking at an uphill battle in these battleground states,
especially in the Rust Belt, and he needs those to win.
(36:32):
So it's not like, you know, I think Pelosi also
told him, he's like, look, man, the way it looks
right now, you're not going to win now. Not to
say I have no path to victory, obviously there is
a path if he can shore up the polling numbers.
But I think there's a thing as it stands, Bro,
you are not gonna go back. You're not. We're not
going to see nineteen ninety eight Joe Biden hop out
the fucking DeLorean suddenly. So let's just maybe put the
(36:55):
blanket on, lay back a little bit and honk show away.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
You imagine how favorably history would look at him if
he steps down and Democrats win the election. People will
look at him in fifty years. He'll be like a
heroic president who made a choice for the entire country.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, oh god, I mean I think they're going to
remember this, and you'll still be eligible to run. They
got to win. Yeah, they're like a man, save that eligibility, dude.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
We'll we'll at Bernie go eight years and then we'll
have you run in twenty thirty six.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah. Perfect, So what perfect?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Also, Obama is reportedly doubting him behind the scenes in
a way that is like being leaked to the media.
So again, nobody's like coming out and making a public
speech being like this motherfucker needs to step down.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
But they are doing doing the same thing too. Yeah,
they're like they're not out talking. Yeah, but people in
their orbit are doing the talk.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
One of these quotes is going to come out with
Obama saying, and you're gonna leak this right, and someone's
gonna say yes.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah, okay, So here's yeah and President Obama said, quote,
so here's what I want.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
You repeat, one of my favorite Joe Iden quotes. So
with it looking more and more likely that he will
eventually step down, I'm still waiting for the deep dive
into like what happens next. Is it just Kamala by
default and then the question becomes who gets selected as
(38:21):
her VP? Or is it because you know, the polling
is still asking who should be at the top of
the ticket and Kamala is running behind like Whitmer and
you know, some of the other candidates.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
But that feels so chaotic to me, Like the polling
looks better if it is a Whitmer versus Trump or
Newsom versus and that's the fucking polling. But I think,
like what will happen is it depends on you know,
do like all those does Biden want to want it
to be a democratic process and something happens at the
convention where they need to actually nominate someone there or
(38:59):
do you just keep things where you know, they're the
infrastructures in place for a Paris involved campaign, so that
that could be that could I think seemingly would give
her the edge. It sounds like, you know, the Congressional
Black Caucus would be behind her as well as like
the Obama Clinton parts of the party, so that gives
her a bit of an advantage over trying someone new
(39:20):
and getting name recognition. But again, I think they also
just fear American racism and massogy.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Can we please, no matter what happens, please let Kamala
debate jd Vance once before she's running for president. Can
I please watch her embarrass him on television for two
hours just and then and then at the end of
it she like, oh now and then just walking Trump
or something. I just like he's in so over his
head against someone like her. If it becomes not even
(39:48):
debate literally a talk, yeah I will.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But he likes to He likes to lie though too, man,
that's the thing he does.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
The world's biggest grifter. Likes to lie. Yeah, he loves
not with the back of three books at my parents'
house say about him.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
But just back to Harris, I don't know. It does
feel like that would at least give it some order.
And I've read accounts of like what an open convention
would look like, and it just seems like it's like
that used to be how these were these operated in
the past. But it's not set up for that anymore.
(40:26):
Like it's no, it would be a fucking mess to
just go into the convention. So I'm assuming that everybody
just falls in line behind Kamala the second that he
steps down, or that he steps down, and is like,
Kamala is effective immediately like the candidate, because everything else
just seems too wild and up in the air.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Right, because he could ask that you know, his delegates
commit to Harris at the convention. Yeah, or he could
or again he could be like, what's my wish man,
let the people decide. That could be his like one
last chaotic wish Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
So you've got to embrace what I think is the
greatest job in the world, which is a president not
seeking re election. Yeah, it seems like there's nothing more
fun than a politician and on their way out, potentially
you could do whatever you want, make it one hundred
and thirteen Supreme Court justices. You gotta change the national
anthem to not like us, just like you could do anything.
(41:23):
You could do anything because what was to happen. No
one's going to vote for you. You could actually do
any of the stuff you said you would. I see,
you know, you see little like ideas of his floating
around or people like he's talked about. I saw something
about like capping the amount of money that prison phone
calls can cost and the amount of burden that can be.
But I'm like, that's an incredible thing that you can
just do if you're not worried about it being used
(41:44):
against you in constant reelection. Everything is just once you're
on your way out. I feel like that's the greatest
opportunity to actually do good.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Yeah, yeah, to free Yeah, you don't fear the death
of not put the sunglasses back on, get the ice cream,
sit outside. Yeah, but it's Supreme Court. They're already doing
the thing now where you're just I forget who it was.
One of the Democrats, Like day one, if if we
have a democratic administration, we're codifying Roe and oh yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
For that when I was nineteen.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
Don't insult people with this shit anymore, Like, what the
fuck are you talking? Who's who's the president right now?
Just to clarify if we Joe Joe Joe Biden, Joe Biden.
Oh okay, I thought it was a Democrat fir Us. Wait,
but it's like, don't worry about yeah, yeah, but like
it's just just stuff. Some stuff came up.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Like we when you look at the favorability ratings of
presidents like over the past twenty years, they're always extremely
low compared to history. I think there's just so much
attention on them and just the way that people, you know,
are oriented these days. Like I said this like a
(42:56):
couple of years ago, like would it be the smartest
decision for the Democrats and Republicans to just always run
a new candidate because like the incumbent is actually at
a disadvantage at this point because everyone change, everybody fucking
hates the president. Like that's just going to be the case.
(43:17):
Like Obama was very popular and didn't win by like
that much. You know, he won by like having a
really strong against Mitt ground game against Mitt Roma, who
was not like an inspiring candidate, you know. So it
just it feels like just another argument for like why
we should let this man go.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It is so much easier to run off of don't
you want stuff.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
To be better than it is? How don't you think
you know, here's actually what I've done that makes these
incremental changes that's being blocked by your governor. That's it's
just so much harder to explain why something hasn't worked
than this to go say I'll fix it.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, and now you can point to like the Trump
becomes the old guard candidate who's like, not you know,
fighting for change.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
It's like, no, we've we've seen what you do for
four Yeah. But I think that's like part of the
life of a campaign too, like with presidential elections, is
you can't fix like they just can't fix too much,
or else you don't have the message to be like, man,
there's stuff to fix, because you'd imagine like those if
you if you had a sort of a president who
(44:25):
could deliver the kinds of like social changes that I
think a lot of people are looking for, that would
definitely shore up support if people's lives are doing well.
But because we're in such a chaotic place, like economically,
it's yeah, everyone gets to decide what version of reality
they want to paint for voters and be like, yeah, yeah,
and that's what's going on. I don't know, like here's
my idea to fix it. Maybe, but probably.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
I think if you had a president really show, like
really make vast changes economically, he could win a third
term and hide his polio. I was just thinking of it,
and the auto mechanic from Missouri would accidentally become president.
I think that people, if you really really do this,
there's a chance you never have to leave.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Give me like a hat store owner or something. Truman like,
he was like a habit dasher.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
I think he worked at I think he worked at
a mechanic shop. He's from my hometown. Touches independence where
he's from, and that was big, Like go on school
field trips to the Truman Museum and make the buck
stops here signed for your desk.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
That was my favorite part of Oppenheimer.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Oh yeah, him just showing up and being an abject psych.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
Oh my gosh, Like, get this bitch out of my site, Gary, Gary,
get in here. I want you to this though. This
is an SNL tape audition, So like Truman just got
elected and you're trying to bump James Austin Johnson off
the show.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
All right, let's let's take a quick break and we'll
come back and talk about JD. And we're back and
Vance will make them dance. Had his big night on Wednesday. Yeah,
(46:13):
his wife introduced him. His wife introduced him, and then
he gave a really nice speech where he said nice
things about working people and that he's also a I'm
like you, I'm a true hillbilly piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
I get it, man, you read my book anyway, But yeah,
I think, but like, yeah, So that's him accepting my monation.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
I booked three billboards outside my town just to talk
about my murdered daughter.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
That is as authentic. His vision of America is as
authentic as three billboards.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
I can't get too far into talking about JD.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
Vance without time. When he first popped on the scene
with the hillbillyology and things like this, before I entertained
getting into the book, I was one of the people
who fell for the idea of I'm from Missouri and
my family and most of the people I grew up with,
our rednecks, and I really desperately wanted there to be
a reality where he's correct, and there this disenfranchised ideas
(47:24):
and these sort of things basically based on the back
of his book and the press for his book, right,
And I was like, I guess he kind of has
this idea and this thing. I just so desperately didn't
want it to just all be rooted in hate. Unfortunately,
it seems to have unveiled that. It is so be
unfair for me to make fun of this. I mean,
I think he's one of the worst people in the world,
and it is clearly just a grifter, and that's opened
up even more. But his first couple of days of popularity,
(47:47):
I so desperately wanted there to be some sort of
more humane reason that these people I've known my whole
life were resorting to such hateful things that I think
I hoped he was being authentic and correct.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
Right, Yea, And where do we end up on that one?
Speaker 4 (48:01):
So far from there? It's like, so far from there. Yeah,
I can't, you know, I want to. I think he's
the worst dude. But I was there right at the beginning,
was just like maybe, you know, like, hey, maybe yeah,
critic And I was like, I didn't know calling Trump
Hitler would end up being a compliment. Yeah, But this
(48:25):
was so far, this was pre politics, and this was
just the book was about to launch, and everyone was
so excited. I was like, you know what, maybe there's
a reason my cousin's husbands do think like this, right,
And then it turns out its hate Yeah, yeah, and
generally hate and fear and and uh. But I just
so desperately wanted there to be any reality to it,
and and I gave the book any sort of entertainment.
(48:48):
I was like, oh, this isn't even that.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
Yeah. Yeah, well the speech I think before I even
I mean, the speech was whatever, Like he's just, like
we said, he's saying nice things about working people. But
I think the con text around how jd. Vance operates
as a politician and as a person, I think is
important to even process what he said out loud and
know it's absolute nonsense. Like again, he's chummy as hell
(49:11):
with a ton of Silicon Valley billionaires like Peter Teele
put thirteen million dollars into his Senate campaign along with
people from the oil and gas industry. He's against worker
protections and unions and votes against any bill that would
help workers that's just on paper, like something comes up
to help workers, No, I'm against it. And he's also
(49:33):
a millionaire off the back of working as a venture
capitalist again for people like Peter teel So, but he
bothered to say shit like this during his speech quote,
we need a leader who's not in the pocket of
big business but answers to the working man, union and
non union alike. We're done ladies and gentlemen catering to
Wall Street. We'll commit to the working man. Uh uh huh.
(49:54):
The AFLCIO says that like whenever any kind of bills
have come up to help work people and unions, he
gets a zero percent score of voting for the good
of working people. The average in the Senate for the
GOP is three percent, which is by a letter grade failing.
I think it would have to be a pretty huge curve.
Speaker 4 (50:17):
He's such a deep level of grifter. I mean that
it's it's such a prop up political fake everything that
you just can't fathom people not seeing through even though,
like you know, it's so horrifically fake and.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Yet dire and sad, and yet Ezra Kleine, who I
think is says smart things a lot of the time.
His reaction to the selection of JD. Van's was like,
something's happening here, because so Sean O'Brien's speech. The Teamster
(50:54):
he specifically liked said that, you know, the Republicans are
could be a friend to unionized labor, and he specifically
called out jd Vance as like a politician who is
pro worker in that he like talks to them, it
seems like and is like willing to hear them out
(51:16):
and say the right things. But it's it's just amazing
that these people are able to will themselves to fall
for the same shit over and over that like, well,
but he says all the right things. When it comes
down to like actual legislation, he's just you know, the
reason he's there is because of his relationship with Peter
(51:38):
Teel and Elon Musk, and those people are not going
to even if he wanted to, like become an economic populist,
he doesn't. It's like if Joe Biden wanted to become
an economic I.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
Think it's hard to admit you're wrong, and it's really
hard to admit you've been wrong, And it's really really
hard to admit you've been wrong when you've bought that
much more.
Speaker 4 (52:01):
That's right, you know what I mean? I threw out
my Woody Allen DVDs it's it's I I went and
picked them back up, and I mean it, you know
who it is crazy going to the movies. He's got
a good point. I think it is just people are
You're so dug in. You just consume and look up
(52:23):
everything that affirms you've been making the right choices this
whole time and that you couldn't have be wrong. It's
so hard to admit you're wrong. And then I think,
once you admit you're wrong, it feels so great and
you feel fine. But I stop getting their folks to
dig in.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
It's like so it's I don't even know what to like.
The Republican Party is so consistently against any kind of
like redistribution of wealth of any sort. So to be
up there and be like, it ain't going to Wall
Street anymore, It's going to Main Street or whatever. Yeah,
that's not fucking happening.
Speaker 4 (52:57):
Ever, Like I'm sorry, you got make everyone, but everyone's
afraid of an alphabet, right right, Yeah, exactly. Got a
pander to some sort of weird fake fear.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
I it winning the messaging around that, like in the
way of like how they gesture to Middle America, Like
that seems to be working. But like for some reason
with JD. Vance now, like people who know things and
right for the New York Times are like, but maybe
(53:31):
this time this guy means it. No, he fucking doesn't.
Speaker 4 (53:36):
I remember this happening in twenty sixteen. A lot of like, well, ah,
like a shakeup in the whole system could be good,
and how little bad could he actually do? He could
shake things up, but there's checks and balances to prevent
any die or sorts. Yeah, but what you know, and
you sort of like, well that seemed kind of favorable
at the time.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
Yeah, right, I mean he puts cuts in place that
make the yeah, twenty richest people like seven times wealthier.
Speaker 4 (54:08):
What long term bad things could happen if Ronald Reagan
is president? Or could anything be affecting us in thirty years?
Speaker 1 (54:14):
Yeah, I mean I think it's like it's kind of like,
you know, the Republicans they do little they do mini
micro populism stuff, you know, like with like you know
when Trump was like a NAFTA is such a bum
rap or whatever, Like they know what to say and
do like sort of things that in act policies that
end up actually helping business, like the business owners like
more than workers and like that's their version, like we
(54:36):
heard you on that and put all these tariffs on
products that help you. Yeah, but I think again, I think,
but again, Jade Vance just he's just very smart, you
know what I mean, Like he he for someone who
has been so out there, like with his anti abortion stance,
the guy didn't mention it at all during the speech,
like he knows, like.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
He doesn't need those clips surfacing and yeah more than
they already will.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
Yeah, exactly. So he's like he's clearly triangulating and trying
to say what's going to get the you know, the
people excited and along with like the people they paraded
out with like amber Rose, to be like, look at
look at this new coalition we're building of this woman
who will call a rapper because that will signify to
our viewers that that means a person of color. That's
(55:18):
why they called her Appeah, they called her a rapper. Wow, Yeah,
it's I mean, the rapper is more of a rapper
than amber Rose. And that's the at least a rappa
rapper in the title, but not amber Rose. No, no, no,
So yeah, it's it's time. Will only tell where this goes,
But yeah, probably somewhere good. I think we're I think
(55:39):
we're all right. Yeah sure, okay, yeah good. I'll jump
in the I'll jump in the milky opium bath. Just
let it take me. Yeah all right. Well, Kyle Ayres,
what a pleasure having you on the daily. We got
to wrap thing, this thing up like Matt Gate's face.
Yeah right, traveling at the speed of light. Yeah, we
(56:01):
talked about it on yesterday's episode. It turns out. But
where can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff?
Speaker 4 (56:08):
Oh yeah, I'm at kyl Ayers on pretty much all
the stuff whatever. The websites are named by whatever billionaires
at various points. You can find me on their Twitter
and Instagram. I'm Kylaer's things on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (56:20):
I'm not that good at it.
Speaker 4 (56:21):
I have a podcast called Never Seen It, where comedians
rewrite famous movies they've never seen and we read whatever
they figure that probably is. And if you're in Scotland
or going to be there, or know anyone who goes
to this fringe festival, tell them to come and check
out my show about living with degenerative brain nerve disease
called Hard to Say. It's funny. Yeah, it sounded fake.
Speaker 1 (56:43):
But it is.
Speaker 2 (56:46):
And is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.
I am absolutely obsessed with the engagement bait of Threads.
I cannot stop getting on Threads and watching its only
engagement bait. It has nothing to do, supposed to be
just Adam Newman, the comedian Adam Newman has only been
posting things on because threads algorithm is all based around
(57:07):
fake engagement. So he posted like a why is California's
pizza so much better than New York's Wow?
Speaker 4 (57:13):
And has zero likes.
Speaker 1 (57:15):
And two hundred and fifty three replies.
Speaker 4 (57:21):
He tweeted or he posted on threads Los Angeles is
actually one of the cheapest cities to live in to
think about.
Speaker 1 (57:26):
It, and.
Speaker 4 (57:30):
Then he posted looking for a two bedroom in LA
for me, my wife, two cats, and a dog eight
fifty max No yard is a deal breaker. Hit me
with leads in a nice neighborhood three hundred and seventy
seven replies, zero likes, people shouting, and then he replied
to that own one with I think a lot of
people misunderstood this post.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
I'm looking to.
Speaker 3 (57:49):
Buy just complete engagement baiting is so funny to me,
so shit and people Adam de Newman on threads.
Speaker 4 (58:02):
It's so it's all he does on there is stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (58:06):
I didn't I haven't thought about threads in so long.
That's great that.
Speaker 4 (58:10):
It already feels like a graveyard.
Speaker 1 (58:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's it is weird, but there it's funny
to see like people who were not posting really to
social media like be all up in threads all the time.
Like it feels like Low steaks Twitter for me, and
you're like, okay, get it, yeah, get it where you're
fit in.
Speaker 2 (58:26):
No Low likes Twitter miles Where can people find you?
Is there a workI media you've been enjoying.
Speaker 1 (58:33):

on threads. So I'll probably put something up every six months.

podcasts and Jack on mat Boosties. You can also find
me on four to twenty Day Fiance.
Speaker 5 (58:45):

Speaker 1 (58:46):
There's some of the tweets I like, I've got three
actually a first one from our very own guest at
Kyle Ayers tweeted, I hope COVID doesn't sap all of
Biden's energy. Kyle that made me laugh at Twinklings tweeted
Nancy Pelosi, if you successfully ouse Biden from the Democratic ticket,
I will dedicate the rest of my life to Insider trading.
(59:08):
I swear and past guest Melissa Lozato Oliva at l O.
Melissa tweeted, what is so realistic about Sex and the
City is her friends never read her little articles. So
that's so.
Speaker 2 (59:26):
Yeah, there's never any reference to it. It's like she's
writing in like a little who in like a word doc.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
That.
Speaker 1 (59:32):
Yeah, nobody's readings of my three friends who I think
may listen to the show somewhat regularly. You know who
you are, all right A.

Song that we think you might enjoy.
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Miles, what song do you think people might enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Oh? Yes, it's like this euro disco track. They so
this group called Bonie m They're like this West German
fucking producer like in the seventies, put together with a band.
They got the Resputant song. Yeah, I loves that Queen
of RuSHA or whatever. Yeah, that track. So they also
have another one, Daddy Cool. I think Rescute is probably
(01:00:49):
their biggest song, but Daddy Cool is also a banger
if you like euro disco. This is like all their
shit is fantastic, But I just love that it's kind
of like a village people type project or someone else
is like I got the ideas, I need these other bodies,
mostly West Indian people that I met to be the
face of this band, and this one's called Daddy Cool,
(01:01:10):
and yeah, just keep it cool, Daddy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):

(07:15):
it's two people can have degrees.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh that's Thunder.

But you think there's only one doctor. Doctor Thunder does
not match the taste of of the beveret.

Wasn't the isn't the the Great valued Mountain Duke? Like
Mountain Lightning or something? There mountains and it was also
has mountain Like They're like, yeah, bro, we got to
keep the first war. If it's a two word name,
you gotta keep the first name.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
People they'll freak out Hill Lightning. Yeah, that's actually like
putting lightning in there is actually an improvement. But Doctor
Thunder moves us way off base from what I think.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Doctor Thunder is the Surgeon's General Florida, right.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
He was appointed by a whole covin living thunder Bay.
Is that a real place, Florida thunder Bed Bay? Oh,
ship miles, you've Uh, you've been indoctrinated into the world
of paw patrol.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
No, no, no, no, that's that is that from paw
patrol too. I think that takes place. It is a
place in Canada. That is what I'm realizing that the.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Paw patrol of countries. Yeah, just because their cops are
generally favorably looked.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Upon, right, and cute dogs. They're all cute dogs. I
thought it was thunder Bay. Maybe maybe I got it wrong,
don't worry.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, I mean to derail us into this.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
No, this is what we're talking about now. Unfortunately, Kyle,
you're going to Edinburgh.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm going. I'm gonna pronounce an Edinburgh to all of
their faces. Aberg.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, I think we would know. I'm from the country.
That's what I'm gonna call America while i'm there.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, they love that from the country, the United States
of America.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Like an Ohio State football player. The have an iron brew.
You know, got to have an iron Brew. Oh, I'm
excited to go. I've never been over there. Someone.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I was doing an interview when someone asked me what
the most Scottish thing I'd ever done was. I don't
know what you all would answer that I said, I've
never seen Brave Heart, but I pretend to.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Have, right.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I got choked up in the early scene in Braveheart
where the little boy like gives the little girl a flower.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That choked me up. So that's probably the most Scottish
thing that I have.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I definitely haven't seen it. I feel like I don't
know how they. I feel like they don't like it
but also want its association.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah if that man both way Scotland. Yeah, man, Braveheart.
I haven't seen Braveheart in a while. That is one
of those movies that when I was a kid and
saw it, I thought it was the greatest film that
I'd ever seen. And then there was a point in
my twenties where I saw it again and I I
couldn't couldn't believe how bad it was.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So that maybe you.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Don't revisit stuff, otherwise it won't be what it was,
you know what I mean. I'm not the you know,
Star Wars exists exactly for this reason.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
One I one time, one Halloween, I did a mash
up costume where I was Pharrell Williams Wallace. Did you
really Yeah? This is when he wore that big Vivian
Westwood big ass hat that he would wear that big
brimmed hat that I was wearing like ten years ago.
So I wore that with like blue flou and a kilt.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Okay, oh I love that.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Going to be off those legs man, Yeah, I mean, look, bro,
you're just trying to show off the gams.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
You know. That's anything I gotta do, baby, you know,
to do to get you in a skirt?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
What you say as I finger, Those are the best
Halloween costumes when you just do you have to explain
what it. I was he gb Phoebe Bridgers last year
because she always wears that skeleton suit, you know. Yeah,
so I was just a zombie version of Phoebe Bridgers.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Oh shit. Yeah. Then I think those are the ones
that like only get like kind of comedians or people
like really excited, Like, dude, it's the best pun. I
don't know if it's good, but in my mind, yeah,
I love that. This is what I am.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
It just feel bad because you can hear you can
tell people are hearing you tell everyone else that. So
there's people at the party hearing me say he BGB
seventy times, yeah right right? Which person?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
One at a time? Oh, yeah, Hey, it's heb GB
Phoebe right, Yeah, yeah, Phoebe Bridge. Yeah, I mean I'll
take that too.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Right, all right, Kyle, we're gonna get to know you
a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going
to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're
talking about. Biden got TDZ, he got zeitgeisted bro. We
talked about how it was time for could be so
inaccurate by the time comes out. Anyways, it's it seems
like the pressure is mounting for the reports to get
(11:53):
treatment for his COVID nineteen diagnosed.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, it seems like there's a lot of people lining
up to be like Amene here, I'm not I'm not
OPTI I'm still not optimistic because the latest that anyone
said as of this recording is like we're just gonna
let him like make the decision for himself, Like he's
gonna be isolating and thinking, and I can tell you
(12:19):
when he when he thinks by himself, he generally has
the same thought, which is that he's the greatest president
that ever existed and like nobody else can win. So
I'm not super optimistic, but it does We called for
a revisiting of this issue, and it seems to be
getting revisited with with a vengeance. They heard talk about
(12:40):
Janstance Vance doing his working class ally thing on the
larpin larpin, doing a little larpin, and it feels like
I'm seeing a lot of people take him seriously as
like an economic populist.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So I just want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Are they white, Miles, You're not gonna believe this?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They are? Ah, he wouldn't lie. Yeah, I'm gonna give
him a shot. I'm gonna give this guy a shot.
But it's I think it's like record.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
So abnormal for Republican to even like write it's shocking
gesture in.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
The direction of the working class that like over the
past twenty years that they're just like who they're like melting. Yeah,
but using that verbiage too, of like saying like the
work workers union and non union alike, like yes, oh wow, okay,
popular sell.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Union and non union of like mainly non union alike.
You preferred non union because I get a lot of
my money from CEOs.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yeah, But if he floats the other words, he gets
to like justify the racist union people's votes for Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Right, right, exactly. Yeah, he's like, well I hate, I
have my heart said full of hate.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
But this guy least.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Made it okay. He opened the door for me to
not have to be quiet. Yeah. Yeah, so hopefully that's
not successful. We'll talk about that, well all we'll also
talk about Matt Matt Gates. Is that how we're pronouncing that? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Yeah, Matt Matt mart just launched his new face at
the r n C and it is a is a statement.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Ye big he went, He went big. It was it
was like from day to like.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I saw him in a clip heckling Kevin McCarthy and
he looked like Matt Gates. And then he took the
stage and he looked like remember when the Joker in
the Tim Burton Batman, like would steal people's soul and
then they would like come out with like face paint,
(14:52):
you know, like they they're underneath they were like white,
and then they would put like makeup of normal there,
like normal skin c over top of it.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Like that you're saying, if someone hit him with the
wet rag, the clown would would show up underneath. Yes,
he would have the Joker ship going on underneath. If
you wet ragged his face. This is what I'm saying.
I'd always I always bring up this movie reference. But
he he does kind of look like sort of when Dorian,
the bad guy from the Mask puts the mask on,
but you're part way there. I don't know why. It's
(15:25):
like it accentuates his eyebrowsers.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, he looks like he's seeing his face for the
first time all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
All right, all right, Monica, let me see how he
did turn the chair around again. Another joker reference.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
A lot of comparisons to like the evolution of a
face of the Real Housewife, like oh yeah, yeah. But
before we get to any of that, ship h Kyle,
we do like to ask our guest, what is something
from your search history that is revealing about who you are?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
So we bringfuly talked about Scotland and I'm going to Scotland.
I'm so I've been doing some talks with people there
and I'm so overwhelmed by it. I click on my
Google to show the drop down and the last thing
I had typed in was what time is it in
Scotland in August. That's a great question, and I'm so
tired all the time. I think I wanted to know
(16:22):
what the weather was like in Scotland, and I'm always
googling what time is it there now? So I can
send like what's that messages to whatever? But yeah, like
what time is it going to be in Scotland in August?
And then even like reading the sentence like that's all
the parts of a sentence.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, you know it tracks for me, I think, And
it's six they just came back with sick.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
They just got back. It'll be six there in August
probably that I'm just so feels like.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
A conversation, like one half of a conversation that you
would see an AI having with itself, right.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Like one of one of the weird apps that's not
even the official She'll chat GPT, but you'll be like
talk to bot.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Right right right.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I feel like you could ask Google's AI assistant that
and they would come back with a very confident answer.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Oh that's way too long.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah, yeah, in August it will be six am. And yeah,
I thought you were also doing because for jet lag
preparation that helps too, like a few days before I.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Just I don't even know how any of that's gonna work.
I've only been in Europe one time.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's easier to go ahead. It's like it's much easier
to adapt to going there, think coming back. I think, yeah,
or at least in my experience, it's easier to transition
to that time.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
I'm going directly to Missouri from Scotland for my family reunion.
I was like, what can I get a flight from
Edinburgh to Kansas City? And the flight site was basically
just like why no one has asked for this before?
No One is like, you know, you're gonna have to
go to Detroit twice? Like it was such an hot
(17:59):
as the website, you like, was just buffering, and then
I could hear my computer go, so.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You're gonna connect through Detroit, then go to Buffalo and
then back to Detroit.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
For some reason, the only things.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Who've ever asked for this are like people who work
for twenty three and meter. These are the only people
who will have made this route.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, what is something you think as underrated?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Underrated? Vastly underrated? Should be talked about?
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The most often are big, giant, stupid tiki drinks. Hmm,
I love these giant tiaki drinks. I love tiki culture.
I'm all in. Give me tiki bars, gimme hilarious tiki
bars and tiki culture. Feel like if couples and struggling
marriages worked on it instead of getting into swinging.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right, That's that's like the furthest It goes like, Hey.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
If you get swinging, you just go to cruises. If
you work on it, you just hang at tiki bars
and you really like goofy drinks with funny names.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's like, yeah, the the most problematic we get is
the white gaze on coll Anesian culture. Yeah, that's that's
how we get our rock.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
And that's the name of one of the Pina Colada drinks. Yeah,
but it's a y z and I love the I'm
all in. I just decided this is what I like now,
and I don't. I want to go to tiki bars.
I think they're funny. I think they're weird. They have
old One of the coolest bars in the world is
a tiki t in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I really love these things. I just want to go.
Everyone's friendly and it's funny and it's dark inside and
the drinks are hilarious.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
You were saying before we started recording, it was mainly
like you started noticing your affection increase around Charlottesville, right,
that's you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I did.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I did the torches. Unfortunately, that drove prices up and
if you look up driving in Charlottesville it's not good either.
So it's because it's just reopened, I think, right, because
they were closed for a minute. I think tragically someone
in their family passed away.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
What I love about tik t is they seem to
own their land and their business and their property and
there right in the middle of Silver Lake, but they
don't need to be open that much. They are just
you know, this is such la insider baseball. But they're
next to the Scientology production Center and they haven't sold
their land to it yet, and I love that there
are like an acre of land next door. They just
(20:16):
closed for months. They're like, we're closed for August and
September so our employees can chill because they don't know
anyone anything. Only twenty people can go inside. I love them,
And I'm all in on tiki drinks.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
What's It's so funny. I was at City Walk and
I went to Bubba Gump Shrimp and they got like
a tiki like an tiki drink, and they're like, you know,
for like an extra buck, you can take the glass
home with you, and I'm like, yes, wait, really, yeah,
I have the dumbest right now. I haven't used it,
but I have a Bubba Gump shrimp tiki glass. It's
(20:47):
there's something I don't know what it is, Kyle, I'm
here with you. There's this something so campy but comforting
about this weird parallel universe, like where like this tiki shit.
I don't know, it's just I love it.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I want to say victory.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
By the way, Yeah, just just wrote for one dollar
three question marks and then we just saw a Victor
shaped hole in the wall behind him. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Well, the thing is you could also have taken it
home for free.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
They're trying to get you to pay a dollar to
not steal it and to feel okay about theft, because
I'm sure enough of them walked out the door. It
was like the the the Moscow Mules Mug Great Theft
of twenty fourteen that where every bar went under investing
in them.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Lie bro the Griffin. I'm sorry, I was taking your
fucking copper mugs full before you were asking for IDs.
I would know when they.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Started asking they would hold your ID if you got
a Moscow.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
For the copper mug. I'm like, no, figure, this is mine.
Oh man, I have way too many of those. I'm
not proud of them, but it is fourtiki glasses, Give
me the t give me nice. What are tiki glasses?
They're they're just like usually like ceramic with like painted
you know.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Sort of like a weird face or a mass looking thing,
or like a parrot or something like that. It's like
Marguerite Deville without the ticketmaster fees.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Nice precisely.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Award shows as a whole, Yeah, let's relax. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Every award show feels like it could be an email.
And uh, just every time the Emmy nominations come out,
everyone's like, why did all the shows we all liked
to get nominated?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Uh? And you like, I don't know, Probably probably because
someone paid the money.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I don't know what. The discourse around them is always
the same. No one knows what a comedy is anymore.
And I don't need to go on the diet tribe
that the Internet has gone on about.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
That, right. Did you see someone did like a joke
count of like jokes per episode of Like the Bear
and like trying her.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Episode, I think we're going to go across the entirety
of the show because.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
In an episode and like juxtaposing that with like what
is a quote unquote comedy, and I'm like, I yeah, dude,
TV is so different.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
They feel weird, even like the SP's. I used to
watch the SP's so norm could say horrible things at them,
and now it seems like a self sort of masturbatory
sports day. I'm a Chiefs fan. I won't even watch
award shows that's that's a little celebration of the Chiefs
every year. Now I just am like, I think something
about the pandemic and kind of killed the idea of
(23:27):
celebrity pedestal, and I think that we're all a little
bit And there's a lot of people I really really
love and are very deserving of these awards, and I
think it's great and wonderful, but something about them just
feels a little bit it I'm a little tired.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's like what was that what is it called the
Island that Ewan McGregor movie, mm hmmm, where you know
like all those people were like I'm going to the island,
even though they were just all being like harvested. They're
all clones with their like organs being harvested. But like
it used to be, like I felt like our version
of celebrity worship was like we all want to get
to the island, Like that is so cool. And to
(24:00):
your point, Kyle Covid absolutely fucked all that up because
once people were like really had to sit with like
what is my life materially like when I'm not working
versus like someone hyper wealthy, And like those celebrities did
that Imagine video. I think the Imagined video actually killed it.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, I think they were working during that, and everybody
should shut the fuck up. You were trying to save
America with their charisma.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
If your zoom background is blurry, I can still tell
that's a pool. It doesn't matter if you blurt it out.
I know you're in front of a like a fountain.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
I've been hitching for a while. Did we just do
an entire like week of episodes.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
About the Imagine video on Daily's Like I just like
really deep dive.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Together. Yeah, well that's good. Gay dot like dot like yeah, yeah,
it's an homage. M hm hmmm, but what a I
don't know why I used a Michael Bay film to
try and describe the heaven.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You're basically describing Heavan and you're like.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's like the island.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
We all aspired to get on con Air we just
didn't know, right, Or I think con Air Force one
is what it is at this point.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, just trying to get off the rock. You know
that's true. But they keep making Jumanji movies. Yeah, oh
JAMII fantastic. I was watching them on. I think we
need not to go counter everything, but I think we
need more award shows. I think we need an award show.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
For Sometimes award shows get nominated for Oscars, right, and
that is like the craziest thing. I feel like that's
what happens, like for dies or something like that. Yeah,
Emmy's the Emmy for Best Awards Show. And when the
Emmy's loses that, I'm like, Okay, we get it. You're
trying to be nice.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
They should be winning that. Come on, come on, there's
got to be something.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Imagine you run the Emmys and you lose that Emmy,
like while you're at work, you feel horrible.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What about an award show for politicians? Though, like, you know,
we don't know. I think I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
That that's I feel like the next like I could
see somebody pitching that, like, well, I guess I'm working
on this Kennedy show and they Jfkdjunior did the like
sexy politics magazine George, and it is like such a misguided,
(26:28):
misbegotten idea that people like took seriously. They're like, yeah, no,
that makes sense, like Harrison Ford and a George Washington
wig like that that's hot composed to the people I know.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I mean, honestly, I think I'd be more invested in
like going microscopic, like on award shows like Who's the
Best regional Electrician in Southern.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I love that you could call it like the yelp
sifting Yeah, yeah, where it's like I think hyper local
awareness and recognition is so nice important And I don't
hate awards, you know, and I just am like, come on,
and yeah, the second I'm nominated for anything that's real
in any capacity, they'll be my favorite thing. But the
second I can like wear a suit to a nice chair,
(27:11):
you'll never hear from me again. But it but because
sometimes there's like wonderful recognition in the oscars seem to
we would say like quote unquote get it right, but
I still am like, but then what but what it's
just the uproar about that. I think maybe getting awards
is fine, but not getting awards shouldn't be the end
(27:32):
for anything.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, well yeah, I think we're just
so we were just become so obsessed with like the
game around, like predicting awards shows and all that kind
of stuff that at this point, like I think, yeah,
just our values have kind of moved on where it's
like I don't care if this person who has everything
in their life going right for them gets another thing
(27:55):
that's good.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
I think we feel excited for a lot of firsts
and a lot of like initial record mission and then
eventually you're like, yeah, but I'm still like tired at.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Home, right right, right? Yeah. I think once Leonardo DiCaprio
got his Oscar, that was like the peak. Everyone's like,
all right, dude, who gives a fuck anymore?
Speaker 4 (28:12):
He was one of the eight best performances in that movie.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I was into the Emmys back when Frasier won every year,
just tuning in being like can they do it again?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yes, It's just crack.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Something will pop up and you'll be like Steve Carell
didn't win one. Yeah right, yeah, but that's the only
thing we even think about from that decade.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Is just how right and they can get it sometimes.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
All right, let's take a quick break and then we'll
come back and talk about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
And we're bad.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And so fairly recently a couple of days ago, they
were talking about let's just virtual role call the the
nominating process to cement Biden in there and all this conversation.
That conversation ended with the attempted assassination of Trump. Move
it along, and that now now it's come out that
(29:19):
people are not moving on from this, that like all
of the major Democratic leaders behind the scenes have been
openly calling for him to step down, and are now
that he is like not showing signs of responding to
those calls, leaking that ship to the media with a vengeance.
(29:44):
It was like a new story from a new like
Democratic Party luminary every half hour last night or like
lasday night.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
And then Adam Schiff was like, He's like, oh, bro,
it's time you went Schiff Schumer. See within like a
matter of five hours, it was just like.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah, me too, and yeah, they were gonna do that
virtual roll call right, But Biden couldn't remember his Zoom password,
and it was just him trying to identify motorcycles in
a catch of code for a little while and they
lost him there and they were like, well, we got
to do this at a different time.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
He can't.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
He doesn't know what our sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
You don't believe that crap.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
That's him yelling at his Zoom for not letting him in.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
He's like, really upset he can't have an exclamation point
in his password.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Bo but incorrect password. Don't believe that, mister president. Why
do you mash the keypad a few more times and
see what happens for your password? All? Right, here we go? Uh?
But yeah, it's the pressure is is ramping up now,
like Axios is reporting that top Dems believe that now
(30:52):
Biden may actually be finally considering his future. So like
a week ago, he wouldn't even entertain a fucking conversation
with someone who was like on the naysayer side or
doubter side. But now it sounds like that resistance has wayne.
He's begun to talk to these people a little bit more.
He's even begun to ask, like what Kamala Harris's chances
would be if he were to drop out and she
(31:15):
were at the top of the ticket, which a lot
of people took that as like that's he went from
never even acknowledging shit like that to the fact that
he's asking that. A lot of aids say, I mean,
it's a matter of when not if at this point.
But again, the.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Details around that though, was that he's been saying Kamala
can't win man Coma, which is so.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Fucked Uh yo, that's you, that's your VP.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
You got a lot of saying that about someone you
picked to be your friend at work.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, yes, you picked to be your second in command.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And then it's just it is so like it is comedic.
It will be funny once he actually steps down to
just look back at what like how he went from
being like I'm just I'm just doing it for one
I'm just doing it for one guys, to like nobody
else can win, I'm the greatest, like politician. Just the
(32:06):
amount of wild, unrestrained ego, right and just like unapologetic,
just like I'm not gonna step down unless there's zero
chance that I win.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Which is shocking behavior from a boomer, some sort of
selfish I was strong enough, he'd pull the whole ladder
up behind him.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
He's like, when I became an adult, that was at
the peak of human knowledge and experience. I will not
hear anything from anyone else anymore. Also, I was eating
a lot of lead on accident on accident. But yeah,
a lot of people think now that the COVID diagnosis.
Again for people, don't I probably have heard this one.
He has COVID h and being in isolation, that maybe
(32:49):
the decision will be made as early as this weekend
to step down the COVID thing. I'm like, part of
me is like, I don't doubt it because the infection
rates are like really wild in certain parts of the country.
But other parts of me is like, that's a great
way to be. Like, Yo, man, here's a two week pause,
real quick, bro, Like you got.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Giving him a two week pause? That could be half
of the time left. Yeah, right, because the percentages of
time he's committing to this goes up and up and
up as every day goes by.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Or I was thinking of that movie Dave again. I
hate to bring up movies by Gum even right in
movie Or they switched out the president because he had
a stroke or whatever. I was like, maybe they'll get
some other spry Joe Biden look like in there. But anyway,
that's what the Democrat Republicans probably think.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I just all right, I'm gonna do a labor movie
metaphor go here, all right? You know in inception where
Marion Courtyard that has the false belief like buried in
her brain that she's in her dream and.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Right right, you just can't get there actually out of
the dream party, I.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Mean yeah there, no, yeah, yeah, she they're out of
the dream, but she thinks it's she's in real life,
is the dream?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
And so total, but like it just unshakable, and like
every time he thinks he's like won the argument, she
just like shows up on like a fucking windowsill being
like and now I'm going to try. Like it's just
I think all of this idea of like we're just
gonna let the president think have a think on this
(34:19):
by himself for a couple of days and he's gonna
come out making the right decision. I just I feel
like that's not happening.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I think that's why to accept him.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yes, I think we need this is the most we've
ever needed. An inception.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
But if you want to accept Biden, you just have
to whisper it twice while he's awake, and then just
when he's not looking at you.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
He'll be so much happier stepping down.
Speaker 4 (34:49):
But Trump got incepted for four years watching Fox in
his office in the Oval office. He just watched TV
and he's like, I think I thought that, Yeah, did
you think that? Is that why you're wanting a bunch
of pillow in the White House?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
That is what the other day. My name's Coka Carlson.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
I mean, these people are so easy to incept at.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
The time, but I think, yeah, like with the Biden thing,
right like before it was sort of they were like,
you know, the best way is that Biden comes to
this conclusion on his own, and it didn't get there.
So I think that's why now they're like, all right,
plan b just straight up shame this motherfucker and him,
like you know, like you they have Chuck Schumer apparently
(35:29):
like privately they spoke to him, like Chuck Schumer met
up with him in Delaware like last Saturday and was like,
this is not looking good at all for us down ballot.
You need to really think about doing what's best for
the country, and.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Like it was Saturday though, and since Saturday he has
been like, I'm not going anywhere, man.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I think it's but it's getting anywhere, running to the press.
But now you have more public discent happening. You don't
believe that crap monel But the other thing that may
weigh on him too is like some of the polling,
because sixty five percent of Democrats also just were like, leave,
this is not good, man, This is not this is
(36:10):
just not heartening in any way. How do the people
he needs to one hundred percent vote for him? Most
are worried. And I think that should be a worrisome poll. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And you know, and while there wasn't like an explosive
sort of post shooting polling bump for Trump, Biden is
still looking at an uphill battle in these battleground states,
especially in the Rust Belt, and he needs those to win.
(36:32):
So it's not like, you know, I think Pelosi also
told him, he's like, look, man, the way it looks
right now, you're not going to win now. Not to
say I have no path to victory, obviously there is
a path if he can shore up the polling numbers.
But I think there's a thing as it stands, Bro,
you are not gonna go back. You're not. We're not
going to see nineteen ninety eight Joe Biden hop out
the fucking DeLorean suddenly. So let's just maybe put the
(36:55):
blanket on, lay back a little bit and honk show away.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
You imagine how favorably history would look at him if
he steps down and Democrats win the election. People will
look at him in fifty years. He'll be like a
heroic president who made a choice for the entire country.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, oh god, I mean I think they're going to
remember this, and you'll still be eligible to run. They
got to win. Yeah, they're like a man, save that eligibility, dude.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
We'll we'll at Bernie go eight years and then we'll
have you run in twenty thirty six.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah. Perfect, So what perfect?
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Also, Obama is reportedly doubting him behind the scenes in
a way that is like being leaked to the media.
So again, nobody's like coming out and making a public
speech being like this motherfucker needs to step down.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
But they are doing doing the same thing too. Yeah,
they're like they're not out talking. Yeah, but people in
their orbit are doing the talk.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
One of these quotes is going to come out with
Obama saying, and you're gonna leak this right, and someone's
gonna say yes.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Yeah, okay, So here's yeah and President Obama said, quote,
so here's what I want.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
You repeat, one of my favorite Joe Iden quotes. So
with it looking more and more likely that he will
eventually step down, I'm still waiting for the deep dive
into like what happens next. Is it just Kamala by
default and then the question becomes who gets selected as
(38:21):
her VP? Or is it because you know, the polling
is still asking who should be at the top of
the ticket and Kamala is running behind like Whitmer and
you know, some of the other candidates.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
But that feels so chaotic to me, Like the polling
looks better if it is a Whitmer versus Trump or
Newsom versus and that's the fucking polling. But I think,
like what will happen is it depends on you know,
do like all those does Biden want to want it
to be a democratic process and something happens at the
convention where they need to actually nominate someone there or
(38:59):
do you just keep things where you know, they're the
infrastructures in place for a Paris involved campaign, so that
that could be that could I think seemingly would give
her the edge. It sounds like, you know, the Congressional
Black Caucus would be behind her as well as like
the Obama Clinton parts of the party, so that gives
her a bit of an advantage over trying someone new
(39:20):
and getting name recognition. But again, I think they also
just fear American racism and massogy.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Can we please, no matter what happens, please let Kamala
debate jd Vance once before she's running for president. Can
I please watch her embarrass him on television for two
hours just and then and then at the end of
it she like, oh now and then just walking Trump
or something. I just like he's in so over his
head against someone like her. If it becomes not even
(39:48):
debate literally a talk, yeah I will.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But he likes to He likes to lie though too, man,
that's the thing he does.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
The world's biggest grifter. Likes to lie. Yeah, he loves
not with the back of three books at my parents'
house say about him.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
But just back to Harris, I don't know. It does
feel like that would at least give it some order.
And I've read accounts of like what an open convention
would look like, and it just seems like it's like
that used to be how these were these operated in
the past. But it's not set up for that anymore.
(40:26):
Like it's no, it would be a fucking mess to
just go into the convention. So I'm assuming that everybody
just falls in line behind Kamala the second that he
steps down, or that he steps down, and is like,
Kamala is effective immediately like the candidate, because everything else
just seems too wild and up in the air.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Right, because he could ask that you know, his delegates
commit to Harris at the convention. Yeah, or he could
or again he could be like, what's my wish man,
let the people decide. That could be his like one
last chaotic wish Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
So you've got to embrace what I think is the
greatest job in the world, which is a president not
seeking re election. Yeah, it seems like there's nothing more
fun than a politician and on their way out, potentially
you could do whatever you want, make it one hundred
and thirteen Supreme Court justices. You gotta change the national
anthem to not like us, just like you could do anything.
(41:23):
You could do anything because what was to happen. No
one's going to vote for you. You could actually do
any of the stuff you said you would. I see,
you know, you see little like ideas of his floating
around or people like he's talked about. I saw something
about like capping the amount of money that prison phone
calls can cost and the amount of burden that can be.
But I'm like, that's an incredible thing that you can
just do if you're not worried about it being used
(41:44):
against you in constant reelection. Everything is just once you're
on your way out. I feel like that's the greatest
opportunity to actually do good.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Yeah, yeah, to free Yeah, you don't fear the death
of not put the sunglasses back on, get the ice cream,
sit outside. Yeah, but it's Supreme Court. They're already doing
the thing now where you're just I forget who it was.
One of the Democrats, Like day one, if if we
have a democratic administration, we're codifying Roe and oh yeah, we.
Speaker 4 (42:13):
For that when I was nineteen.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
Don't insult people with this shit anymore, Like, what the
fuck are you talking? Who's who's the president right now?
Just to clarify if we Joe Joe Joe Biden, Joe Biden.
Oh okay, I thought it was a Democrat fir Us. Wait,
but it's like, don't worry about yeah, yeah, but like
it's just just stuff. Some stuff came up.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Like we when you look at the favorability ratings of
presidents like over the past twenty years, they're always extremely
low compared to history. I think there's just so much
attention on them and just the way that people, you know,
are oriented these days. Like I said this like a
(42:56):
couple of years ago, like would it be the smartest
decision for the Democrats and Republicans to just always run
a new candidate because like the incumbent is actually at
a disadvantage at this point because everyone change, everybody fucking
hates the president. Like that's just going to be the case.
(43:17):
Like Obama was very popular and didn't win by like
that much. You know, he won by like having a
really strong against Mitt ground game against Mitt Roma, who
was not like an inspiring candidate, you know. So it
just it feels like just another argument for like why
we should let this man go.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It is so much easier to run off of don't
you want stuff.
Speaker 4 (43:42):
To be better than it is? How don't you think
you know, here's actually what I've done that makes these
incremental changes that's being blocked by your governor. That's it's
just so much harder to explain why something hasn't worked
than this to go say I'll fix it.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, and now you can point to like the Trump
becomes the old guard candidate who's like, not you know,
fighting for change.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
It's like, no, we've we've seen what you do for
four Yeah. But I think that's like part of the
life of a campaign too, like with presidential elections, is
you can't fix like they just can't fix too much,
or else you don't have the message to be like, man,
there's stuff to fix, because you'd imagine like those if
you if you had a sort of a president who
(44:25):
could deliver the kinds of like social changes that I
think a lot of people are looking for, that would
definitely shore up support if people's lives are doing well.
But because we're in such a chaotic place, like economically,
it's yeah, everyone gets to decide what version of reality
they want to paint for voters and be like, yeah, yeah,
and that's what's going on. I don't know, like here's
my idea to fix it. Maybe, but probably.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
I think if you had a president really show, like
really make vast changes economically, he could win a third
term and hide his polio. I was just thinking of it,
and the auto mechanic from Missouri would accidentally become president.
I think that people, if you really really do this,
there's a chance you never have to leave.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Give me like a hat store owner or something. Truman like,
he was like a habit dasher.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
I think he worked at I think he worked at
a mechanic shop. He's from my hometown. Touches independence where
he's from, and that was big, Like go on school
field trips to the Truman Museum and make the buck
stops here signed for your desk.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
That was my favorite part of Oppenheimer.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Oh yeah, him just showing up and being an abject psych.
Speaker 4 (45:30):
Oh my gosh, Like, get this bitch out of my site, Gary, Gary,
get in here. I want you to this though. This
is an SNL tape audition, So like Truman just got
elected and you're trying to bump James Austin Johnson off
the show.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
All right, let's let's take a quick break and we'll
come back and talk about JD. And we're back and
Vance will make them dance. Had his big night on Wednesday. Yeah,
(46:13):
his wife introduced him. His wife introduced him, and then
he gave a really nice speech where he said nice
things about working people and that he's also a I'm
like you, I'm a true hillbilly piece of shit.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
I get it, man, you read my book anyway, But yeah,
I think, but like, yeah, So that's him accepting my monation.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
I booked three billboards outside my town just to talk
about my murdered daughter.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
That is as authentic. His vision of America is as
authentic as three billboards.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
I can't get too far into talking about JD.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
Vance without time. When he first popped on the scene
with the hillbillyology and things like this, before I entertained
getting into the book, I was one of the people
who fell for the idea of I'm from Missouri and
my family and most of the people I grew up with,
our rednecks, and I really desperately wanted there to be
a reality where he's correct, and there this disenfranchised ideas
(47:24):
and these sort of things basically based on the back
of his book and the press for his book, right,
And I was like, I guess he kind of has
this idea and this thing. I just so desperately didn't
want it to just all be rooted in hate. Unfortunately,
it seems to have unveiled that. It is so be
unfair for me to make fun of this. I mean,
I think he's one of the worst people in the world,
and it is clearly just a grifter, and that's opened
up even more. But his first couple of days of popularity,
(47:47):
I so desperately wanted there to be some sort of
more humane reason that these people I've known my whole
life were resorting to such hateful things that I think
I hoped he was being authentic and correct.
Speaker 1 (47:59):
Right, Yea, And where do we end up on that one?
Speaker 4 (48:01):
So far from there? It's like, so far from there. Yeah,
I can't, you know, I want to. I think he's
the worst dude. But I was there right at the beginning,
was just like maybe, you know, like, hey, maybe yeah,
critic And I was like, I didn't know calling Trump
Hitler would end up being a compliment. Yeah, But this
(48:25):
was so far, this was pre politics, and this was
just the book was about to launch, and everyone was
so excited. I was like, you know what, maybe there's
a reason my cousin's husbands do think like this, right,
And then it turns out its hate Yeah, yeah, and
generally hate and fear and and uh. But I just
so desperately wanted there to be any reality to it,
and and I gave the book any sort of entertainment.
(48:48):
I was like, oh, this isn't even that.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
Yeah. Yeah, well the speech I think before I even
I mean, the speech was whatever, Like he's just, like
we said, he's saying nice things about working people. But
I think the con text around how jd. Vance operates
as a politician and as a person, I think is
important to even process what he said out loud and
know it's absolute nonsense. Like again, he's chummy as hell
(49:11):
with a ton of Silicon Valley billionaires like Peter Teele
put thirteen million dollars into his Senate campaign along with
people from the oil and gas industry. He's against worker
protections and unions and votes against any bill that would
help workers that's just on paper, like something comes up
to help workers, No, I'm against it. And he's also
(49:33):
a millionaire off the back of working as a venture
capitalist again for people like Peter teel So, but he
bothered to say shit like this during his speech quote,
we need a leader who's not in the pocket of
big business but answers to the working man, union and
non union alike. We're done ladies and gentlemen catering to
Wall Street. We'll commit to the working man. Uh uh huh.
(49:54):
The AFLCIO says that like whenever any kind of bills
have come up to help work people and unions, he
gets a zero percent score of voting for the good
of working people. The average in the Senate for the
GOP is three percent, which is by a letter grade failing.
I think it would have to be a pretty huge curve.
Speaker 4 (50:17):
He's such a deep level of grifter. I mean that
it's it's such a prop up political fake everything that
you just can't fathom people not seeing through even though,
like you know, it's so horrifically fake and.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Yet dire and sad, and yet Ezra Kleine, who I
think is says smart things a lot of the time.
His reaction to the selection of JD. Van's was like,
something's happening here, because so Sean O'Brien's speech. The Teamster
(50:54):
he specifically liked said that, you know, the Republicans are
could be a friend to unionized labor, and he specifically
called out jd Vance as like a politician who is
pro worker in that he like talks to them, it
seems like and is like willing to hear them out
(51:16):
and say the right things. But it's it's just amazing
that these people are able to will themselves to fall
for the same shit over and over that like, well,
but he says all the right things. When it comes
down to like actual legislation, he's just you know, the
reason he's there is because of his relationship with Peter
(51:38):
Teel and Elon Musk, and those people are not going
to even if he wanted to, like become an economic populist,
he doesn't. It's like if Joe Biden wanted to become
an economic I.
Speaker 1 (51:51):
Think it's hard to admit you're wrong, and it's really
hard to admit you've been wrong, And it's really really
hard to admit you've been wrong when you've bought that
much more.
Speaker 4 (52:01):
That's right, you know what I mean? I threw out
my Woody Allen DVDs it's it's I I went and
picked them back up, and I mean it, you know
who it is crazy going to the movies. He's got
a good point. I think it is just people are
You're so dug in. You just consume and look up
(52:23):
everything that affirms you've been making the right choices this
whole time and that you couldn't have be wrong. It's
so hard to admit you're wrong. And then I think,
once you admit you're wrong, it feels so great and
you feel fine. But I stop getting their folks to
dig in.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
It's like so it's I don't even know what to like.
The Republican Party is so consistently against any kind of
like redistribution of wealth of any sort. So to be
up there and be like, it ain't going to Wall
Street anymore, It's going to Main Street or whatever. Yeah,
that's not fucking happening.
Speaker 4 (52:57):
Ever, Like I'm sorry, you got make everyone, but everyone's
afraid of an alphabet, right right, Yeah, exactly. Got a
pander to some sort of weird fake fear.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
I it winning the messaging around that, like in the
way of like how they gesture to Middle America, Like
that seems to be working. But like for some reason
with JD. Vance now, like people who know things and
right for the New York Times are like, but maybe
(53:31):
this time this guy means it. No, he fucking doesn't.
Speaker 4 (53:36):
I remember this happening in twenty sixteen. A lot of like, well, ah,
like a shakeup in the whole system could be good,
and how little bad could he actually do? He could
shake things up, but there's checks and balances to prevent
any die or sorts. Yeah, but what you know, and
you sort of like, well that seemed kind of favorable
at the time.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
Yeah, right, I mean he puts cuts in place that
make the yeah, twenty richest people like seven times wealthier.
Speaker 4 (54:08):
What long term bad things could happen if Ronald Reagan
is president? Or could anything be affecting us in thirty years?
Speaker 1 (54:14):
Yeah, I mean I think it's like it's kind of like,
you know, the Republicans they do little they do mini
micro populism stuff, you know, like with like you know
when Trump was like a NAFTA is such a bum
rap or whatever, Like they know what to say and
do like sort of things that in act policies that
end up actually helping business, like the business owners like
more than workers and like that's their version, like we
(54:36):
heard you on that and put all these tariffs on
products that help you. Yeah, but I think again, I think,
but again, Jade Vance just he's just very smart, you
know what I mean, Like he he for someone who
has been so out there, like with his anti abortion stance,
the guy didn't mention it at all during the speech,
like he knows, like.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
He doesn't need those clips surfacing and yeah more than
they already will.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
Yeah, exactly. So he's like he's clearly triangulating and trying
to say what's going to get the you know, the
people excited and along with like the people they paraded
out with like amber Rose, to be like, look at
look at this new coalition we're building of this woman
who will call a rapper because that will signify to
our viewers that that means a person of color. That's
(55:18):
why they called her Appeah, they called her a rapper. Wow, Yeah,
it's I mean, the rapper is more of a rapper
than amber Rose. And that's the at least a rappa
rapper in the title, but not amber Rose. No, no, no,
So yeah, it's it's time. Will only tell where this goes,
But yeah, probably somewhere good. I think we're I think
(55:39):
we're all right. Yeah sure, okay, yeah good. I'll jump
in the I'll jump in the milky opium bath. Just
let it take me. Yeah all right. Well, Kyle Ayres,
what a pleasure having you on the daily. We got
to wrap thing, this thing up like Matt Gate's face.
Yeah right, traveling at the speed of light. Yeah, we
(56:01):
talked about it on yesterday's episode. It turns out. But
where can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff?
Speaker 4 (56:08):
Oh yeah, I'm at kyl Ayers on pretty much all
the stuff whatever. The websites are named by whatever billionaires
at various points. You can find me on their Twitter
and Instagram. I'm Kylaer's things on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (56:20):
I'm not that good at it.
Speaker 4 (56:21):
I have a podcast called Never Seen It, where comedians
rewrite famous movies they've never seen and we read whatever
they figure that probably is. And if you're in Scotland
or going to be there, or know anyone who goes
to this fringe festival, tell them to come and check
out my show about living with degenerative brain nerve disease
called Hard to Say. It's funny. Yeah, it sounded fake.
Speaker 1 (56:43):
But it is.
Speaker 2 (56:46):
And is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.
I am absolutely obsessed with the engagement bait of Threads.
I cannot stop getting on Threads and watching its only
engagement bait. It has nothing to do, supposed to be
just Adam Newman, the comedian Adam Newman has only been
posting things on because threads algorithm is all based around
(57:07):
fake engagement. So he posted like a why is California's
pizza so much better than New York's Wow?
Speaker 4 (57:13):
And has zero likes.
Speaker 1 (57:15):
And two hundred and fifty three replies.
Speaker 4 (57:21):
He tweeted or he posted on threads Los Angeles is
actually one of the cheapest cities to live in to
think about.
Speaker 1 (57:26):
It, and.
Speaker 4 (57:30):
Then he posted looking for a two bedroom in LA
for me, my wife, two cats, and a dog eight
fifty max No yard is a deal breaker. Hit me
with leads in a nice neighborhood three hundred and seventy
seven replies, zero likes, people shouting, and then he replied
to that own one with I think a lot of
people misunderstood this post.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
I'm looking to.
Speaker 3 (57:49):
Buy just complete engagement baiting is so funny to me,
so shit and people Adam de Newman on threads.
Speaker 4 (58:02):
It's so it's all he does on there is stuff
like that.
Speaker 1 (58:06):
I didn't I haven't thought about threads in so long.
That's great that.
Speaker 4 (58:10):
It already feels like a graveyard.
Speaker 1 (58:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's it is weird, but there it's funny
to see like people who were not posting really to
social media like be all up in threads all the time.
Like it feels like Low steaks Twitter for me, and
you're like, okay, get it, yeah, get it where you're
fit in.
Speaker 2 (58:26):
No Low likes Twitter miles Where can people find you?
Is there a workI media you've been enjoying.
Speaker 1 (58:33):

on threads. So I'll probably put something up every six months.

podcasts and Jack on mat Boosties. You can also find
me on four to twenty Day Fiance.
Speaker 5 (58:45):

Speaker 1 (58:46):
There's some of the tweets I like, I've got three
actually a first one from our very own guest at
Kyle Ayers tweeted, I hope COVID doesn't sap all of
Biden's energy. Kyle that made me laugh at Twinklings tweeted
Nancy Pelosi, if you successfully ouse Biden from the Democratic ticket,
I will dedicate the rest of my life to Insider trading.
(59:08):
I swear and past guest Melissa Lozato Oliva at l O.
Melissa tweeted, what is so realistic about Sex and the
City is her friends never read her little articles. So
that's so.
Speaker 2 (59:26):
Yeah, there's never any reference to it. It's like she's
writing in like a little who in like a word doc.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
That.
Speaker 1 (59:32):
Yeah, nobody's readings of my three friends who I think
may listen to the show somewhat regularly. You know who
you are, all right A.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Miles, what song do you think people might enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
Oh? Yes, it's like this euro disco track. They so
this group called Bonie m They're like this West German
fucking producer like in the seventies, put together with a band.
They got the Resputant song. Yeah, I loves that Queen
of RuSHA or whatever. Yeah, that track. So they also
have another one, Daddy Cool. I think Rescute is probably
(01:00:49):
their biggest song, but Daddy Cool is also a banger
if you like euro disco. This is like all their
shit is fantastic, But I just love that it's kind
of like a village people type project or someone else
is like I got the ideas, I need these other bodies,
mostly West Indian people that I met to be the
face of this band, and this one's called Daddy Cool,
(01:01:10):
and yeah, just keep it cool, Daddy.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
This weekend, you know there's some big coke energy like
in their performances and.
