Sounds like shout out to all the intense moms from
other countries who will scream at you in public. Well,
we're going to get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners
(03:33):
a couple of the things we're talking about today. We're
gonna talk about the continued fallout from Michael Cohen's testimony
yesterday in the Mobster Realm. We're gonna talk about some
new announcements for Democratic presidential candidate, and we might do
a quick dumb racism round up, and then we're gonna
(03:55):
have a particularly international second acted cook today, not just
looking at America's shared consciousness, the worlds shared consciousness. There's
a lot going on, but first let's go. We like
to ask our guest, what is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? Well? So I
watched Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time last night. I
(04:16):
don't know if I fell asleep. So it was like,
it's like a big blur. But he becomes the queen
at the end. He is, Yeah, I figured it's so many,
so many queens like themed Oscar, Yeah, just all queens, um.
But I didn't know he had Asian roots. Oh yeah,
(04:38):
wouldn't the film I didn't, I guess I never thought about.
I was like, oh, yeah, he was always just Freddie Mercury,
he was queen. He's always just like a rock star.
And then I failed to even like think about what
he has made up what he was made up of.
And then on screen comes like the character is playing
his parents, and I was like, is he South Asian?
So anyhow, that's that was the what country his parents from?
(05:02):
So they're Parsis So they're Persians who fled Persia who
you know what was then Persia to India. We're going
to talk about India a little bit later on, I know.
And then they moved to Yeah, and India is so
hot right now, you guys, is really hot, really hot
(05:23):
right now. The reason is really hot right now. That's
why I brought it up. But yeah, that's my search.
You watch the favorite I did not favorite. I'm a
big fan of the director loves tooth is I love
me up? Yeah. It's like one of those movies that
(05:43):
I only tell people who have already admitted to liking
it that I like it because if I'm like, oh,
I love that, and they're like, because there's like some
real weird ship the father who like imprisons his children
and real weird stuff happens, right, kind of a weird
like mind, is it a thriller or dark comedy. No,
(06:05):
it's like more like one of those I don't know
trip movies Yeah, that's not really a genre, right because
even The Favorite is sort of like the way it's
shot is, so it's it's very different. I really they
call him, you know, like one of the gods of
Greek Greek weird wave. Yeah, yeah, that's a that's a
good Yeah, damn, that's a wave I want to be on.
(06:26):
I never watched The Killing of a Sacred Dear. That's
the one that I haven't watched. Yeah, that one's also
really fucked up, but like it also teeters on comedy,
so um, you know, like he started making movies when
the economy crash happened in Greece. Yeah, and so I
think he was it was like a like cheap, weird
ways to tell like fucked up like stories with what
(06:50):
you have budget wise. Yeah, and then look at The Favorite.
Now I had a budget, a little budget, a little
bit of a budget. Yeah, comedy has really come a
long way. I will say that that's one thing I
learned from The Favorite, because their version of comedy was
getting a overweight man naked, putting him in a wig,
and then throwing tomatoes at him. Yeah, blood, oranges or whatever. Yeah,
(07:11):
and it's good. I mean, it's I'm not saying anything
negative about that, but it's just you know, like I mean,
Jackass was sort of the revival of the Jester culture,
you know. So yeah, that's fair, that's fair. It all
comes around, what is something you think is underrated? Underrated?
I had to write it down because maybe it was
(07:33):
underrated in my head too. Oh oh, I just watched
The Dangerous World of Comedy on Larry. Uh. Yeah, the
guy who the guy who directed at right, Larry, the
guy who directed Bord, the guy I think of his
last name, Charles. I think, yeah, that's right. I think
it is Larry Charles. Yeah, it's it's really, it's really yeah,
(07:56):
Like I don't know. Maybe because I've been at home
six so I think it's underrated, but maybe everyone's watching it.
I don't know. I have not seen it just started.
I heard about it when they were first like talking
about releasing it and making it, and then I guess it.
Did it just come out or yeah, it just came out. Yeah,
people were starting to hear about it. What is the
general premise? I know, it's just about comedy and different
(08:18):
parts of the world, right, I mean he goes to
like conflict zones and he's like, is there a stand
up comedian here? You know, and there's a stand up
comedians or like humorous videos and they're like in the
Iraq or you know, he interviews some isis guys about
sense of humor. Really they're not that funny. It turns
(08:39):
out a yeah, yeah serious, yeah yeah, yeah, it's She's like,
what do you guys like pratt falls right, Like they
legitimately are like, yeah, no, we we laugh sometimes, Like
there's the when you're dragging the bodies of people you
just killed behind your jeep, like we you find yourself
(09:00):
laughing a lot because it's just funny to watch them
bounce around. Uh so yeah, it's like kind of a
dark but psychological look at the roots of comedy. Uh yeah.
I heard him interviewed on Choppot Trap House. Actually it
was a good, good interview. I'm excited to watch. Was
it like super heavy to watch or was it? You know,
(09:22):
it's very refreshing, and you know you have like you
have comedians who were like, yeah, I was abducted by
al Qaeda, but then you know, when we were getting tortured,
I think he tortured me less because I started cracking
jokes as a way of survival, you know, and it's
like a refreshing It's not like a typical comedy documentary
that we've been seeing, which is like, let's pat ourselves
(09:42):
on the back. Yeah, we're just being you know, comedians
from the nineties being like, oh I started out the
comedy seller, and you know, it's like people being like
I was subducted and I said, uh, you know, I
said to the the dude who was going to torture me.
I was like, please, please anything, but you know, bottles up,
my asked, And then I guess the torture started laughing, right,
(10:04):
and he's like bringing the bottles better, and he's like, oh,
thank god it's plastic or whatever, a glass bottle, and
then the guy would laugh again, and like so it's
it's really it's like people who, um, you know, kind
of found comedy as like a yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,
(10:24):
I'm gonna to check that out. It's really cool. And
as a comedian who you know you have family from
another country, do you feel like you view like the
relationship of comedy to the culture you're in, like more
objectively than other people, maybe, like possibly maybe I definitely
see like, um, the beauty of like taking something traumatic
(10:48):
and finding the levity of it um. But I think
I'm still trying to figure out what the question was.
Do I look at comedy more objectively, right, or like
from a like did you relate to it in any
way that was like specific to somebody from you know,
a Japanese background, like having like have you looked at
(11:10):
comedy in Japan and like what what things are like
found what people find funny there as opposed to in
the United States. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm still trying
to figure that out. I grew up watching a lot
of slapsticky stuff. I feel like that feels universal even
in the States. Well, Japanese humor a lot of it's
(11:31):
based in status, you know, like a lot of the
humors derived from like a Sempi co Hi kind of
relationship where one like a lesser person is being admonished
or like, There's a lot of the humor comes out
of that sort of status. And I think a lot
of the humor that's super funny here or in Japan
would be hard to do in the US because of
(11:52):
people's egos sometimes, like the super fucking wild Ship that's like,
you know, people like these Japanese games shows were humiliating themselves,
is what it looks like to American people, because I
would never make myself look like that. But in Japan
people just like, oh, that's just funny. This is dumb.
It's not like, oh, this guy's humiliating himself where I think,
(12:13):
I think that relationship would be a little bit different.
But yeah, there's a show that I wish they made
in the US. Uh that is like, don't anyway, I
don't want to talk about that, Okay, it's a good
idea that like when you were like early last year,
you were like, there's this show in Korea called The
(12:35):
Mass Singer that somebody should bring over here. And then yeah,
and then then these mothers and then they got a
Korean American to judge that, right, ended up being te
paying What is something you think is overrated? A rep city?
What bohemian? Okay, you said he fell asleep? Right? Yeah?
(12:56):
And then I was like, I just was just a
long music video. It was just the longest and then
the songs kept playing in my head while I was sleeping.
I couldn't sleep very well last night. Um. I think
it just kind of like biopics in general, Yeah, a
little bit overrating, I think, because it's just like how
good of an impression can the act or do of
the real person. But sometimes I'm like, I'd rather just
(13:18):
watch the documentary of the real person. Yeah, yeah, for sure,
because there's more I think, more magnetism when you're actually
saying the real people involved in a trail. What was
like the what's the best biopic? You think best biopic? Uh?
I don't know. Does Amadeus count as a biopic in
a way? Yeah? That was really fun. Actually, I like that,
(13:40):
but you know, we don't really know what he was.
We don't know about. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah, and
that's an actual historical figure. I actually haven't watched Gandhi
all the way through, but that's I think is probably
up there. Wow. Yeah, okay, I'm ja. Yeah, I think
(14:03):
Malcolm X is probably the best. That one was intense to. Yeah,
you know, Iitania did like really played with the format
and that's why I really actually liked Itonia because it
was like, oh, documentary format and then it was like
you know, talking head interviews to like yeah, to even
talk like breaking the fourth wall sometimes, you know. Yeah,
it was different. It wasn't just like, does she look
(14:25):
like her? I mean, what about super producer? Next stuff
is waving violently a notepad Sully? Oh isn't that just
about a single incident? Though? Does that start with Sully
as a child? Like, No, I think I haven't seen it.
It's about somebody's gonna say Forrest Gump, but I uh,
that's I think Levin and Rose was pretty good. I
(14:48):
haven't seen Yeah, that was good. I haven't seen that.
It's about a rose, just about a rose birth birth,
it's about a rose. That's right. Um, that's one about
Edith Poff. People don't remember, right, right, right, Yeah, it
is kind of a biopic because it starts when she's
a kid. You know, I think that the whole definitely counts, right.
(15:08):
And remember when Margot Robbie played fifteen too, and people
were like, oh wait, that's just Margot Robbie. Oh that's right, yeah,
when she played because she also played the younger Ionia. Yeah,
but like we just saw her as just regular age, right,
and they're like, oh, so you plus and then they
(15:28):
put braces on. Really do it? Man? You know, it
was very much a grown woman being like I'm fifteen.
Just believe it. It works for me in them fifteen Yeah,
spend your disbelief. That's right, but that's different. I think
that operates in a completely different way. And now, so
let's get through it. Have you seen re enactments and
(15:50):
like national geographic like Locked Up abroaddast were actually pretty good.
I feel like biopic wise quote unquote not biopic, but
like people playing like right, yeah, the casting is good
is good and Locked Up Abroad yeah, and acting do yeah.
There are times when I'm like, is that the dude
(16:10):
who's talking right now? Like they no, no, no, they
have have because that's always so hard Like in movies,
I feel like they never quite get it. They never
like find somebody who looks like the first because the budgets.
I don't know, maybe they're just sort of like that's
good enough and they only need to be able to
do like sort of tortured looks off to the distance
because it's mostly narration anyway, that's right, right, But I
(16:32):
feel like those that those are underrated. I think all
right back to that, the actors and Locked Up Abroad
actors acting very specific and I love it. What is
a myth? What something people think is true? You know,
to be false. This is maybe. I mean, I don't know.
This one's hard because without sounding like a conspiracy theorist
(16:54):
or something, I guess maybe that just like uh uh,
undocumented immigrants don't commit more crimes than native born citizens.
You're saying they do, they commit more crimes. They do not.
The myth is that they do. The myth is that
they do. That is not a conspiracy theory. That is
(17:17):
statistically criminal. So that's why I settled for that. That's good,
That's why I set up for that, because I don't know, well, yeah,
what's and it's just like the most tired ship that
gets paraded out every time. And even with this gun
bill that they passed this week, they managed to sort
of perpetuate that myth even in inserting some language in
that bill. So yeah, yeah, people need to get over
that ship. Well, let's get to the stories, because it
(17:39):
sounds like we have one that touches on that my Yeah.
So first off, we just want to mention that in
all of the fallout from the Michael Cohen testimony on
Capitol Hill yesterday, my favorite response was from a mobster
who predicted or I guess it was the child of
the Gambino mobster, like the Gambino air who said that
(18:01):
Cohen will get whacked in prison because prisoners love Trump
and hate a rat. I'm is, are they doing like
Quinnipiac polls in penitentiary? Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah, apparently like
we want to get it. So what's your feeling on
the on the President's declaration of the emergency. But I
don't honestly, I've been on one lockdown for fourteen years.
(18:23):
I don't know what the funk you're talking about. And
he's like getting that's in prison. Please let us know
if Trump is particularly popular there because he did do
prison reform and he is like sort of does have
an appeal with uh characters, Well just with people who
you know are fans of wrestling and ship like that.
(18:43):
I feel like I like wrestling, yeah exactly, and you
like Trump and I like Trump. Yeah, okay, we nailed them. Yeah.
I don't know that that he would they would say that.
I mean, I guess logically you could be like, yeah,
that would be weird going to prison as Michael Cohen
if you it's like Russia adjacent to like I feel like,
if anybody's gonna mess with somebody would be Russia more
(19:05):
than prisoners were like, hey man, you really should have
gone easier on the president, right, almost shank you. And
I mean, as we saw with Whitey Boulger, it really
is up to the prison to protect them. Like if
if it's a if it's a prisoner, who has you know,
a legitimate cause to be worried about their safety. Like
(19:26):
the prison needs to be on and have their guard
up all the time because they turn their back for
a minute and they get their head beat in. Um,
I wonder what. But I don't think Michael Cohen is
going to like rikers, right, you know, yeah, yeah that's
probably true. He's probably going to a white color prison,
but it is. It is just amazing. It kind of
(19:47):
underlines this overall mobster culture that is pervading ours like
ice right now. Like the Drudge Report headline going into
his testimony was rat Fest, right, like everybody is calling
him a on the right. Yeah, he's going for from
what I understand from when he was basically the sentencing
stuff was heating up, He's more most likely going to
(20:10):
Otisville Prison, and Forbes named it as America is one
of America's ten coushiest prisons. So I don't think you're
gonna have beef with anybody in there, all right, but anyway,
good for him, Yeah, shout out, yeah, shout out to
doing white collar crime that totally fucked the election or whatever. Look,
we're not to get into that. And from promising to
(20:32):
not write a book, I promise you're not gonna write
a book and make money off your rights promise right now,
what's he gonna do if he does come back? He's like, Oh,
you promised, dude, you dog? How dare you just bought
like three minutes of time? That's all right? Yeah, exact. Uh.
So we're still waiting on two high profile Democrats to
(20:54):
announce whether they're going to enter. I think it's basically
a foregone conclusion that day are going to enter. It's
just a matter of like the timing and what justification
they give. But it is the killer bees Betto and Biden.
Bett Oh has announced that he won't run against John
Cornyn for his Texas Senate seat, which suggests that he's
(21:18):
probably running for something else, right, um, And he said
something really like so on the nose, it's like, you know,
we've decided what we're going to do. And and we're
so excited to let like let you know what our
plans are, so that would be amazing. We just like,
it's a fourth child with my wife. That's what we're
doing instead. Yeah. Yeah, we're just talking about, you know,
(21:43):
our hopes and fears about bet Oh. And you know,
we just don't know much about this dude right now.
We know where he stands on cap We know, like
in the NFL kneeling, you know, where he mostly like
holding it down for minors and migrants. Yeah, I'm curious
to know what his takes are on you know, and
(22:05):
just righting the wrongs of the many wrongs that we're
facing in this nation. But yeah, I'm waiting. You were saying,
you foresee maybe a Lime scooter. Uh, I think what
about free Lime scooters for everyone to come outspointed. He's
a fucking idiot that um lion scooters are sick. I
(22:28):
think SoundCloud Premium should actually be free from looking ads
are whack, dude. And also, I have an EP you
a should check out an please do that please? That
is my feverite dream nightmare. He said whatever it was
was going to be best for the country. Yeah, and yeah,
(22:50):
so it could be free lime scooter to a distract
to Joe Biden. I thought, maybe more more dimples, dimples
for everyone, more betos, smile that sile skateboarding. What a
head of teeth, that guy. But then yeah, you got
Biden to. I know, at first people were saying that
maybe Biden and Betto would run together just because their
(23:14):
names are I don't know, or they were like, oh,
well that Betto would solve Biden's like lack of appeal
to progressive and younger people. Beau Biden. You know, he's
the kind of dude who gets you those like blue
collar votes in like Pennsylvania, Ohio, who maybe you can
might be able to steal away from Trump. But the
dude is seventy six bidos with Bido, So I mean
(23:43):
they got some years between it. But yeah, I mean
Biden basically said it without saying it, because he was like,
I finally the one concern I had about running, which
is putting my family through a potentially devastating presidential campaign,
has been alleviated. Why did he leave his family? He
was just like, I'm only gonna do if wants me to,
And apparently his family's been like do it, Dad, do
(24:05):
it even I don't know. I'm you know, bro, if
please stay home. Yeah, there's the arts already congested as
fu right, there's too many people and we don't have
time for center's dudes. It just seems like, I don't know.
We have politicians already in the race who have been
thinking about their policies and there you know, where they
(24:27):
stand on things and ideas for how to solve some
of the country's problems for their whole lifetime. Like Bernie
hasn't really been changing up much about his message. He's
just like, yeah, this is what I believe. Like you
can ask him anything and he knows where how it
relates back. And Elizabeth warrens same deal, like she just
like already you know, has a really thought out policy
(24:48):
on basically everything. Uh Like Beato has the opposite. I
don't know where he stands on anything. And Biden seems
like he changes from you or the year, depending on
like what's but I mean the one thing that I'll
give almost again, yo, Bido, I'm working with that. You
know what. Actually, if they were together, I'm fucking I'm
(25:09):
about it. I'm about Bido. Biden is the only one
who has like tangible foreign policy experience. So that's the one,
that's the one thing he has, Biden. Yeah, yeah, like
like straight screwed up, you know, but him and Bernie
would be the oldest. Yeah. Just they shouldn't even I
don't think they should even do the debates. They should
(25:31):
just have like a square off with a chess game. Yeah,
just like geriatrics, who can feed more pigeons in the
park can draw more pigeons. All right, we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
(25:55):
And we wanted to talk about the conflict between India
and Pakistan because we feel a responsibility to our listeners
that if a story is going to kill them that
they should at least hear about it on our show first. Yeah. Well,
I don't know, it might not, but we got very
(26:19):
close to I don't know. I mean, things are still
very hot in Indian Pakistan because over the last month,
yes since I like on Valentine's Day. Basically what happened
is a Valentine's Day, there was an Indian military convoy
that was attacked by a car bomb by this group
the Army of Mohammad who you know, the Indian government
(26:39):
accuses Pakistan of arming and training to sort of destabilize
their influence and control in the Kashmir region. So, so
Kashmir is like the border. It's the like valley valley
between uh Pakistan and India that like India claims is
there's Pakistan claims is there. And they had just slice
(26:59):
it sort of down the middle where they just they're
both stacked up militarily on each side. And you know,
ever since they got independence in seven, you know, the
Hindus and Sikhs settled in India, the Muslims went west
to Pakistan, and there's just been you know, they've been
beefing for like seventy years. They've been had like three
of the last four wars they fought have been over
(27:20):
this Kashmir region. Um. And so yes, after that bombing,
India responded by bombing a base of the Army of Mohammad.
They claimed they killed three hundred militants. Pakistan was like, actually,
you just you just dropped like your bombs on the
empty like spot land. So nice try. Uh. Then some
fighter jets were shot down, helicopters were shot down, like
(27:41):
an Indian pilot was captured in Pakistan and now the
Pakistani government is saying, like we're willing to, you know,
give you your pilot back. It's like a gesture of peace.
So it's not quite getting there. But you know, that's
not a region where you really want ship going off
because a eight, they're both armed to the teeth with
(28:02):
nuclear weapons. Like India has somewhere between a hundred and
two hundred nukes, Pakistan has like somewhere around a hundred
and twenty um And like when you think about there
literally on each other's doorstep, you have nationalistic and religious
tensions brewing the whole time. That's something that can easily
progress into you know, conventional war to nuclear war. You know,
(28:24):
India does have a no first use policy, so they
would only only swing if they've been swung on with nukes.
But again, it's something to be aware of because that
is not it's just a very very tense situation. Yeah,
well what should we do. I mean, I've seen peace
between the two uh, you know, in a restaurant, uh
(28:46):
in Oakland one time. Well that's why people are saying that, yeah,
there that there's a lot of shared history and culture
between the people. Like even even though like militarily there,
uh at logger heads, is that a Yeah, I wish
I hadn't said that, but at odds at odds there
(29:08):
there you go. Even though they're at odds militarily, there's
a lot of shared culture and you know, there are
families that were split up by the Kashmir region and
the drawing of that boarder so familiar to other places. Yeah,
because went back when it was Tritish colony of India.
(29:28):
Everybody was, you know, rocking together. Yea. But yeah, speaking
of the people having kind of international relations experience from
the Obama administration on Pod Say of the World, which
is the crooked media like international relations uh show Tommy
hosted by Tommy v. Tour and Ben Rhodes, who are
(29:49):
two people from the Obama administration who specifically worked in, uh,
you know, on international relations. They were talking about how
a lot of experts that they talked to talk about
pa Us Town being like the number one fear going
forward for people uh in like who focus on global
security because it's basically a failed state that semi openly
(30:12):
supports terrorism and has nuclear weapons. And yeah, they have
a generation of young, uneducated men aging into positions where
they'll be controlling the nuclear arsenal, and you know, they
were behind that insanely elaborate four day long terror attack
of Mumbai, and it's there's just a lot of scary
(30:35):
ship coming out of there, and like even this, like
that was a terror organization that attacked the Indian military.
And then the Pakistani government didn't like disavow it. And
then they just casually they're like they're not full throw.
They're like, nah, come on us, right, yeah, they're attacks
from our side, you know, and we don't really do
(30:58):
much to control it. But right, so that's a region
to keep an eye on. Another region to keep an
eye on is the Koreas. We're talking about other places
that have been divided down the middle. Uh So, President
Trump was in Vietnam, another place divided down the middle.
(31:18):
He was in Vietnam talking to Kim Jong and uh
I think I think we're good. I don't think we
have to or not. What happened, I'm so fucking heartbro. Sorry,
I stopped paying attention after the first day. I'm sorry.
It's just, yeah, you did have your heart set on that.
I believed in love. I believe. I mean, they were
(31:43):
like writing each other love letters I he we love
each other. We have this great friendship. He's my best friend.
He really likes me. I thought that was going to
be enough to get a maniacal dictator, hell bent on
the destroy action of the West, to just hand over
their nuclear arsenal. I really thought it was maybe I'm
(32:04):
a fool, Maybe I'm a fool for believing in love.
But it turns out, yeah, that's just not happening. Uh.
The summit literally just collapsed like instantly because the North
Koreans came in. They said, we want just complete sanctions
relief if you want, if you even want to start
this conversation, and Trump, to his credit, was like, oh
hell no, we can't even if that's step one, we're
(32:26):
walking like Chris. So they did it. They walked, thank goodness. However,
like the North Koreans are disputing this claim. They're saying, like,
we actually only asked for partial sanctions relief to halt testing.
But again, you don't know. This is all part of
the back and forth because now they're posturing sort of
is now, oh, well, you know that was the deal
and even if you guys come back, we're not hearing it.
(32:49):
Which this has been a very This is a this
is the song we sing every time we talk about
disarmament or any kind of talks with North Korea. I mean, look,
at least they're engaging with each other. But at the
same time, I mean, this is what happens when you
have someone like Donald Trump who just believes in their
abilities so much that they're like, oh, we don't need
any pre summit meetings to at least hammer out what
(33:12):
if we're even on the same page, because if they did,
they would have saved a lot of time and this
this probably wouldn't have even happened. Yes, but I mean
it's always been my policy to believe anything North Korea says,
just in general, So I'm trusting them that. I mean,
we are American dogs, right, and Kim Jong ill once
scored an eighteen on a golf course just by is
(33:42):
nothing but holes. How many people died. It's I'm surprised that,
you know, I kind of do believe that they do
get along because Kim Jong un and Donald Trump kind
of have the same upbringing. They're both they wouldn't be
shipped with, know what I mean them everything, and they
also like admire sit about each other. I'm sure, Kim
(34:03):
John Un would love direct TV to put some Jordan's
on some McDonald's, and Donald Trump would love to throw
journalists in prison and shoot them with anti aircraftman, yeah,
the crosshairs. But but it's the thing is like, even
though even if the nuclear disarmament part, uh, those talks
(34:27):
fell apart, there's still up. There's still plenty of ship
that we can engage North Korean that is pressing, right,
like fucking human rights violations, right. You could have you
could have been like, okay, we could let's let's talk
about something else. We have fucking three days we blocked
the time out. What about that? Or what about otto
warm beer? You know that young man from America who
was basically killed and their murdered in the custody of
(34:49):
the North Koreans um and Trump was quick to parade
his morning parents out during his first State of the
Union when he was trying to be like, look at
these grieving fantas because of North Korea. And then he
asked Kim Jong un about it, and he Kim John
literally basically was like, oh, I don't know her. And
he was like, I believe him. He doesn't really know
(35:09):
anything about it. And just left it at that. So this, dude,
I mean, what you the first step of trying to
negotiate with someone to figure out if you have leverage
and you gave it all up already. Yeah, and if
you don't call Dennis, Yes, Dennis Rodman is ready to
do the mediating with him, Like Weed bit coin, I
(35:31):
need the emotional stability of Dennis Rodman involved that we
are fucked, I know, you know that could be the
reason why this didn't go all the way. Robin wasn't there.
Robin's peacekeeping mission to the first meeting was like he
couldn't make it through a sentence without bursting into tears.
(35:52):
It was just very concerning that he was the one
that I was more comfortable with the emotional stability and
that situation compared with our president. But it's wild because
the mainstream media is responding to this as if I
think it's just that it's familiar. There's a comforting familiarity
with peace talks falling apart there, like as opposed to
(36:15):
Trumpian like we solved it, give me my you know,
medal of honor or whatever the right, uh, instead of
that like it fell apart, like you know, Reagan Gorbachev
and people are in the mainstream media or like, well,
thank god he didn't give away our entire country to
(36:35):
pursue his personal goals, which is just like, yes, I
get why it's comforting to have this president act like
a previous president, but that is just such an absurd
lowering of the bar, like almost to the point of nihilism,
that we're just like happy that he didn't just just
completely funk up by like going after whatever he wanted.
(36:58):
It's just I don't know, it's we we should have
higher standards, then, please don't overtly put your interest before
the security and lives of the entire United States. I
hope that they're able to find common ground again. You know,
if this is really like the romantic comedy I envisioned
it to be, it'll cool off a little bit and
(37:21):
they will come back to the table and maybe they
will solve this. I'm still I still believe in love
at the end of the day. Well, usually what happens is,
you know, the more evil of the dictator starts to
believe in Christmas again, right, so hopefully, oh goodness, but yeah,
so I guess he's back on his little train he's
going to take his two day train ride back to
(37:43):
North Korea. Is not a little train, Okay, it's train
the greatest wine collection of any Yeah oh yeah, yeah,
there the like reports about it or that it's just
like an incredible luxury Like it's only like the first
three e cars of snow Piercer with the children underneath
(38:03):
the floorboards just powering the thing. But yeah, it is
supposedly very kind of decked out. Well, you know, I
guess that's a foreign policy swinging a miss again, but
onto the next one. Hey, I mean that was supposed
to help Trump's poll numbers, but I guess maybe people
are going to be like, he showed tremendous character by
(38:24):
walking away from that just absurd offer. Yeah, a swing
and a miss, but at least he didn't spin around
in his pants, didn't fall down. It was a foul tip.
That just was the other side of the fow. All right,
let's talk is real, you guys, what's going on over there?
So b B we want to bring in super producer
(38:45):
on A Hosnier to talk to us about bb nitt
and Yahoo. She is our resident expert on Middle East
relations and the host of the amazing ethnically ambiguous podcast.
She is super producer around Hosnier, and we wanted to
bring you into this conversation because Net and Yahoo, the
far right and only getting further right leader of Israel
(39:09):
is now reportedly he's going to be indicted right for
bribery charges. Yeah, so Nettie butt but says I like
to call him. That's cute. Respect for me. Don't look
around them from Philadelphia accent. It is funny how most
(39:31):
like foreign regime leaders all study abroad the US come back, yeah,
and they're all like, yeah, so this is my dealing.
Like that sounds It's the same thing with like Ruhani,
he like studied in Europe and then he comes back.
It's like I tweet in English every day and you're
right anyway. So yeah, So Attorney General Avicai mandel Bilt
(39:53):
who used I just want to say it used to
be net Yah, who's former cabinet secretary. But he's very impartial.
Report he came through and he's been investigating Net and
Yahoo for a few years now over his basically bribery charges.
This guy Net and Yahoo. Look, he is not afraid
of a nice suit. If you give him a nice
(40:13):
suit boy, will he make your company look good? Or yeah,
it's actually it's a really dumb and it's like cigars
will get you good press with nint Yahoo. But so
one of the charges is that he worked with Hollywood
producer are Non mil Chon, who is an ex patriot Israeli,
to promote legislation that could benefit Mr Milchon um, which
(40:35):
in the end got blocked by the Finance ministry so
I didn't even go through. But he got like cigars, jewelry,
hundreds of thousands of dollars were given to him, and
then that he like used that money to make his
house very nice. Another charge was that he was accused
of discussing with the publisher yet yot Are Not, which
is one of Israeli's biggest newsplaper, to put out favorable
(40:56):
coverage of him. Um, that's like some like dictatorship, some
real u s ship. Yeah yeah, and that's how it is,
is it? But is it a like tabloid or is
it an actually good like respected news source. I think
it's a respected news source. Oh yeah, and that guy
(41:18):
or that's also connected to another American billionaire who is
a devoted supporter of nt YAH who a lot of
the money I feel comes out of America, which money,
you know. My most memorable instance was when his son
was just outside of a strip club talking crazy shit
about how his dad exchanged favors with the strip club
owner's dead. No, it was another kid. They were just
(41:38):
at a strip club and on tape he was like
they whose son was like, you need a hundred or
two hundred bucks or something. I was trying to borrow
it from. He's like, oh, you can't lead me a
two hundred bucks, dude, my dad hooked your dad up
with like a twenty million dollar deal like stuff. And
the third case is that Natya who has pushed regulatory
(41:59):
action through the communications Ministry, which he was in control
of at the time, which was very lucrative for shal Elovich,
who's a principal owner of the Bezak Telecommunications like giant whatever,
like conglomerate. Uh yeah, And that led to like a
lot of great coverage of Nett Nahu and his family
and then all that stuff. And then on top of that,
(42:21):
this guy um Mandelbilt Attorney General has come after his wife,
Sarah Nette Yahoo, who has used over a hundred thousand
dollars of public funds for her own ship, like just
to like postmates, basically just things like that, where she's
just using it to do her own things like I
have to I have to defend my wife she needed,
(42:42):
so let it go. Yeah, and she's apparently a real
Marie Antoinette type, real bitch. Yeah. This is kind of
funny because it's so close to being what's happening in
the US where their leader is about to be could
be indicted. But then it's someone serving office with like
these charges hanging over their head and then really like
this is the first time in Israeli history that a
(43:03):
prime minister has been charged with a crime. So this
is like they're even over there trying to figure out,
like what do we let it rock while he's trying
to run for re election. But he could be basically
based like real court if he's convicted, like then it
would probably be like sent to the courts if he
if he is re elected. So that's a big that's
(43:25):
a big detail. Is that asking for them not to
do that because he knows if they do everything will
be leaked, right, He's very scared of that. Oh, so
the details aren't fully out no, but he is asking
please to Mr mande Belt, who he promoted to Attorney General,
which I think is the best thing. It's like, this
man has been watching your behaviors. Well, a lot of
people have been like, is he capable of doing it?
(43:46):
But he doesn't set that info to get out. Are
you saying they know how to redact documents? Over there?
They successfully can redact documents, but the election for the
upcoming prime ministry job is April, so he doesn't want
anything out before the election happen. That's the big difference
is that this would be like Trump getting indicted like
(44:07):
a couple of months before the yeah, before it over
release it drops that. Yeah, so that's interesting. I mean,
na who has spent the last I don't know, like
decade basically moving further and further right, to the point
that he's now alienating people who were what on what
(44:30):
used to be the right by just you know, inviting
in these super far right like maniacal militaristic Zionists And yeah,
it's now becoming clear that maybe you should go to prison.
So I don't know. I try not to get involved
in other people's business, foreign elections, like because I feel
(44:53):
like Ah, what do I know. I'm just but it
seems like this one is pretty clear to Yeah, that's
not very American. You sometimes I will support a light
coup or you know, a military uprising. Light Yeah, um no.
But so the guy he's running against is Benny Benny Ganz,
who's the former army chief of the i d F,
(45:15):
who is He's a more centrist. He's running with the
centrist party I think they're called Blue and White, and
he's attached to the yes Atide who is um there
the party against the Likud party. I don't know if
I'm saying that, yes, yeah, and he you know, his
whole thing is that he's more progressive. But the way
to maintain any sort of like flow while trying to
(45:36):
run is to have complete ambiguity when it comes to
the Israel Palestine conflict, like he currently is like Benny
Gance that is, I will seek peace, but at the
same time he is not like he's like I want
to I want to make an agreement where we have
a land agreement and seek peace, but he has no
actual info on how he's going to do that. And
I think that's what Israeli's like. That's how centrist parties
(45:59):
kind move. But the weird thing is that, like since
ninety six to now, there have been nine different centrist
parties who have gone against Net and Yahoo, and eventually
they slowly fade because there's no real plans of how
they're going to deal with these things. And it's it's
an interesting thing where they Israelis are very they dissonance
is their way of dealing with things, Like they're kind
of like, well, we believe you, but we also kind
(46:21):
of like don't really need to know anything right now
because it's too sensitive of a topic. Like it's a
weird thing where they're they're trying to deal with it,
but not deal with it. And I don't know how
that's going to pan out in the future. I don't
know how Benny Gantz is going to do, Like he's
surging in the polls right now, but I guess we
just have to wait and see how he does when
it comes to the Israeli public. I mean we're talking
(46:43):
about this earlier before we recorded, and the policies that
Net and Yah who supports are basically like apartheid, like
human yeah, just straight up racism, human rights abuses, and yeah,
so I mean, it's definitely a international story that we
will be keeping our eye on for a change. Because
(47:04):
his wife should launch anti cyber bowling campaign, might be Yeah,
let's just start with her son, who just posts racist
memes all the time. Yeah, yeah, he's bad. They've got
their own Donald Trump. It's all the same. Baron has
(47:27):
Baron has probably less of presents, right, yeah. Yeah. One
thing that Benny Gantz again, he was head of i DF,
so he attacks and Yahoo I putting out these ads
that say, like, look at all the destruction we've put
on Gaza and the Palestinians. Everything is destroyed, We've killed
(47:47):
all these people. But he references the time when he
was the head of the ide F, So he's getting
a lot of heat for that. So they put out
all these cartoons where it's like this this like muscular
IDEF guy holding machine gun and he's saying, we believe
in peace, so like pieces the answer. And it's just
like he's getting a lot of heat for that because
it's like, but you are literally in charge of the
idea at the same time, I'm sure he's trying to
(48:10):
do the politically savvy thing, and you know, triangulation and
all that Clintonium bullshit the best. Well, thank you so
much for joining us. We're going to take another quick
break and we will be right back. And we're back,
(48:35):
and just so we don't go making anybody think that
we are speaking from a place of you know, superiority,
we want to take a quick check in with whatever,
you know. I mean, I think people realize that as Americans,
we think we're better than everybody, and uh, you know
all those times that we just break into us a
(48:55):
chance on this, Yeah, that's that's us. Whenever that I'm like,
I walked the opposite direction. Gosh, I can't believe the
Republicans were still doing that at the last State of
the Union. You know, that's wild. It is what it is. Anyway,
speaking of wild ship, Republicans are still doing. Let's check
in with Mark Meadows because we were kind of I mean,
he's been around for a while, but I was. He
(49:17):
came onto my radar during the Cohen uh hearing. Oh man,
he's been on mine since he was a tea bagger
tea party fucking twenty times. I think he just blended
into that crap. Well, like all of them, like Jim
Jordan on But anyway, um Mark Meadows during the Michael
Cohen testimony, you know, we touched on the idea that
the fact that he had brought out this black woman
(49:38):
who works for the administration and formally for the organization,
and he basically used her as a prop to say
this black woman is proof that Donald Trump is not
racist and where shout out to you from Michigan. When
she had her time, she was like, I just want
to say that was some racists. I just saw like
he really just used this person as a shield for
(50:00):
like the most absurd argument against being racist, which is
the fact that you could have a friend would preclude
you from having racial racist tendencies and even the lightest terms.
And he got so wound up. He was like, my,
I have nieces and nephews that are people of color
that I'm embarrassed to admit. Where he said he's like
(50:21):
the chairman knows, like referencing Elijah Cummings was black, He's
like the chairman knows him. He's like, but he was
like a lot of people don't know this, as if
it was like some dark secret anyway, I mean, and
he got really emotional and trying to defend himself. He's
like I'm not racist, blah blah blah. But you know,
let's be real, when you're running as a Tea Party candidate,
and when Obama's in office, there's no way you don't
(50:43):
fucking dance near some racist bs rhetoric. So again, in
Mark Meadows defense, I would just like to present him
his own words from a few years ago. It's good
to be here with you today. I thank you so
much for allowing me just a few minutes to talk
with you and share a few things. But you know,
it's it's interesting when the more we find out, the
(51:05):
more we realize how wrong the direction we're going. And
so what we're gonna do is take back our country.
Two thousand twelve is the time that we're gonna send
Mr Obama home to Keny or wherever it is. We're
gonna they We're gonna do it. We're gonna do it,
all right, hit him with that Bertha bullshit, okay, because
you're so woke. Maybe he didn't have those nieces and
(51:27):
nephews then, yes, that was hadn't found out about that
was pre people of color nieces and nephews. He probably
he probably wasn't admitting it to himself. Yeah, I don't know. Again,
this is just and even the idea that your nieces
and nephews are people of color would again say, you're okay, great,
(51:47):
people who have people of color working for them are
not racist. Okay, shout out to slave owners. Um still
so now I mean okay, that was that was that?
But then Mark Meadows seapack is going on to be
a conservative hoop la. It's like comic con for conservatives. Now, yeah,
he got out there and you know, the Green New
(52:08):
Deal is the conservatives favorite thing to just fucking talk
shit about and completely obscure what it actually is. Uh
So he kicked off his Sea Pack appearance, Mr Mark
Meadows with this fucking brilliant line. I mean, he really
took it to the Green New Deal with this one.
I mean, and I just want everybody to think of
what the Green New Deal is and think of that.
(52:29):
When you hear his words, you will also hear a
follow up from Mr Sebastian Gorka, who really puts the
cherry on this little comment. You know, with this Green
New Deal, they're trying to get rid of all the cows.
But I've got good news. Chick fil a stock will
go way up because they're to eat more chicken. All right,
(52:51):
I mean, so listen, they want to take your pickup truck,
they want to rebuild your home, they want to take
away your hamburgers. This is what Stalin dreamt about but
never achieved. They need better joke writers, honestly, Like every
time they try to do a joke like we're gonna
(53:12):
be that. You know, no cows means more chicken. We
have to we have to. I think, honestly, we talked
about this a lot. When we hear attempts at humor
from the right, we should just set up a consulting agency,
like we'll punch up a joke or two for six
thousand dollars a second. Honestly, like Mike Huckabees tweets like
(53:32):
avery time he tries to make it, I'm just always like, man,
I just feel bad for you. Yeah, I'm not even
sure what like how that would make sense to someone
listening where it's like, you know, they're just they're trying
the green New deals about getting rid of cows, right right?
Wait is it not? Is that not the first? I
(53:53):
don't know, I'm I'm getting rid of cows like that
isn't even an accurate depiction of like a remote environmental
policy getting killing. Yeah, they want to rebuild your homes.
They want to take again. It's like the most like
elementary version of fearmongering. Like these people their value system
(54:14):
is cow, hamburger, pickup truck. Right, It's it's mostly condescending
to the people who they're trying to ad. They want
to take your hamburger. I just started eating salad today,
and we're like, no, no, no, no, you eat hamburgers.
What are we gonna do about all those dead CAUs
(54:35):
we're gonna eat them. We eat hamburgers. We'll freeze the
meat so it doesn't go bad. We're gonna take your
hamburger stock thing man, that was good, good material. Those
are getting good at comedy and liberals are scared. It's
just taking what the billboard for Chick fil A does anyway,
eating more chicken. It's the same. It's a pop culture.
(54:55):
I bet you drove into the sea saw that billbo
fuck Mark, you fucking you slide devil. You did it again, right,
Chick fil A joke? After take all your cows? Great? Done? Um. Anyway,
let's move on to Ralph Northam, the governor of Virginia,
who was cotton black face and then kept fucking up
(55:17):
every time. And cotton black face sounds like the name
of an old timey racist, like cotton black Uh So, anyway,
this time, I don't even know what to say here.
So Ralph Northam's wife, if you remember at the first
press conference, Yeah, she was the voice of reason. Yeah.
Someone was like, hey, can you still moonwalk? And he
looked behind him to see if he had a clear runway,
(55:39):
and she was like, just like inappropriate, in apprice inappropriate,
that would be inappropriate. So we're like, okay, good, Pam
Northam has a head on her shoulders. But apparently she
does not because something happened when there was a tour
of I believe the Governor's mansion um and someone like
(55:59):
a stage employee had an eighth grader, like one of
the eighth grade child was on this tour of the
Governor's mansion and they were like part of the state
like they are state pages, like for the state Senate um.
And during this tour they got to what is like
the kitchen cottage, which is where the slaves used to
work back that when America was great, I don't even
(56:20):
know how to say. So she's talking about the history
of this building. This is where the slaves worked. She
got some cotton and asked three pages and they were
the only African American pages in the program to hold
this cotton, and said, asked them to imagine what it
must have been like to pick cotton all day. She
(56:41):
singled out the only African American and said, here this
because I know African Americans need perspective slavery. Why did
you hold this motherfucker cotton? And you tell me what
it's like. Imagine what it would have been like. That was.
I don't know what the folks he was thinking, what
you're and yeah, everyone's lost. I've been in like maybe
(57:03):
it would be whitewashing if she gave it to the
white kids, and then she would offend the black kids. Yeah,
I'm just thinking it's like, well, you know, you a scar,
Joe got heat, you know, so you know, yeah, recasting
a black role as a white person if she gave
it to the white students, so she's probably just extra
(57:24):
like seventh dimensional woke, and that's probably what it was. Yeah,
And I mean, look, it's it's it's not a it's
just not a good look. I mean, it's just a terribly,
terribly terrible idea. I mean, like, if anything, you would
give it to white children, who would actually you might
need perspective on systems of oppression, right, not people of
(57:46):
color who are still operating under it to this day. Um.
But again, she then came out and she was like, oh,
I am really sorry. She said, I regret that I
have upset anyone, and she's like, she will worst, I will,
I will work thoughtfully and honest slee uh and then
she moon walked off. So it's not an apology to
say you're sorry you upset people. It's sorry you got offended.
(58:09):
I'm sorry. If I hurt somebody, I'm sorry. If I'm
sorry that I did that, I'm sorry I made such
a terrible decision in thinking that this was somehow going
to be a teaching moment. That's what I'm an apologized.
But again, all right, there was a gun control bill passed,
and they managed to slide some bullshit into it, as
they are wont to do. Yeah, I mean this is
(58:31):
the House passed the first significant gun control bill for
the first time in over twenty years, and so now
it closes. It's closes that uh gun show loophole now
requires universal background checks on all commercial gun sales, that's
even online at gun shows. But it does have a
few exemptions, like it allows for gifts from family members
(58:51):
or loaning a gun to someone while hunting, or if
it's for self defense. But either way, I mean, since
now the Democrats have control of the House, there's someone
entum around gun control. They passed the bill, but at
the last second, Doug Collins from Georgia called for emotion
to include a provision that would require the federal background
check database to notify ICE if an undocumented immigrant tries
(59:12):
to buy a gun. Now, this goes back to which
your myth is, that's only there because these people are
operating on the myth that undocumented immigrants are violent or
always trying to buy guns, when that couldn't even be
further from the truth. Most like a documented immigants can't
buy guns. You have to be an American citizen to
buy one, right if you're at it. But if you're
(59:37):
at like a gun show or something, you could just
be like here, cook up the gun or whatever. But again,
it's just a very it's it's it's sort of meaningless,
but it was just a weird attempt. And their twenty
six Democrats actually voted for this too, But those are
a lot of people from purple districts or like people
who just flipped Republican seats, so I think they didn't
want to rock the boat too hard for their constituents
(59:59):
either way, pasked. I mean, at the end of the day,
though the Senate is not gonna they're like, they're like, well,
what do we need to check? Why do we need
strengthen background checks at all? I think I think we
have a great system, even though, like I think a
fifth of gun cells kind of flow through that loophole.
So but again, you know, I guess maybe thoughts and
prayers will stop all the bad stuff, but we'll see. Yeah,
(01:00:21):
but I don't is anybody passing legislation to make thoughts
and prayers real? Oh shit? Yeah, I just I feel
like that would be like a troll bill someone would
put forward. They're like, this is the thoughts and prayers
to fortify our thoughts and prayers. Uh potential, there you go. Uh.
And finally, Vulture put out a list ranking the best
(01:00:42):
picture winners, and it has been helping me mourn the
win of Green Book because it it really puts into
perspective how many great movies are missing from the list
of Best Picture winners. The first there, well, so what's
(01:01:03):
not on there? Like Forrest Gump is on there because
it beat Shawshank, Redemption and pulp fiction Oliver beat two
thousand and one of Space Odyssey, How Green Was My
Valley beat Citizen Kane. So like that, some of the
best movies ever are not on their Um, you know,
they get some things right. But it's really people love
(01:01:24):
Redemption so much because it's really watchable movie, I guess
and insanely I don't know. I saw it like twice
and then I always watch it like hungover because on
the TNT like fucking twenty three hours a day. But
maybe I've been over shaw Shan. Yes, but the first
half of the list is just mostly pretty forgettable garbage.
(01:01:45):
Um really yeah, Okay, let's go through. Tell me because
when I tried to click on the link, vultures like, oh,
you've seen all your free articles? Yea, oh, I'm gonna
pack journalists at A nine. So there's been ninety one
Best Picture winners. I'll just list off the ones that
you've probably heard of. Eighty nine is Crash the Dave
(01:02:08):
Matthews Band, so granted, eighty six is the artist. Eighty
four is Driving This Daisy, eighty three is a Beautiful Mind, Okay,
which I totally agree with all this, and it's just
good to have it put into perspective that, yeah, these
were all terrible decisions. Eighty one Dances with Wolves, h
(01:02:29):
eighty Green Book. So these are all we keep going.
Seventy nine we've been well, no, I'm not gonna go
through all of them, but I'm just saying, like, these
are movies that slum Dog Millionaire from two thousand eight,
Like what the why did slum Dog Millionaire when? Because
it was broad and easy to digest. At seventy six,
we have still overrated pedophile heroes, Tale American Beauty. Uh yeah,
(01:02:55):
Academy is dead. I mean they're making a museum. That
means like when you when you had a retrospective or
a museum, it means like an entity has died and
you can see it in the halls, right, you know,
I mean there was no host. Yeah, and then yeah,
I don't know. I thought it was fine with it.
(01:03:16):
I thought it was. I thought it was fine and watchable,
but it was one of those things where yeah, you don't,
I don't know, I don't. I just every year it's like,
it's like the v M A s Man. I used
to care. Yeah, you just care about the MTV Video music.
I used to care about a moon man. I remember
there was such a stark drop off in my giving
a shit about that, Like it was the summer before college.
(01:03:37):
Chris Rock was hosting that year. I was excited. I
was like, fucking Chris, like that'll be the best. And
then college started and I remember, like it was on
TV as I was walking by someone's dooring around, and
I was like, oh, I don't care about that at all.
In college, dude, you're going to balance my checkbook exactly.
I was busy balancing on sixty four Forest Gump, which
(01:04:00):
every time I think about that movie it gets like
more absurd and racist, and oh man for his Gump is, hey, look,
you could say that I'm never gonna stop eating at
Bubba Gump shrimp. You can keep eating a Bubba Gump trip.
I eat there, I think three times a month. The
depiction of the black panthers, and for his Gump is
(01:04:21):
incredible because that's right. The Black Panthers are first of all,
just like so angry all the time. And then at
one point for his Gump like runs away from one
of the Black Panthers because he's going to punch somebody
who just hit his who hit Jenny, which the Black
Panthers don't give a shit about. They're they're just like, oh, yeah, whatever,
(01:04:43):
people can hit women, that's no big deal. And after
Forrest Gump runs away, the guys still just yelling at
the empty space where Forrest Gump had been before, which
suggests that the Black Panthers were just like these automaton
anger robots who like didn't even like it just shows
such a lack of perspective or empathy for anyone who
(01:05:07):
isn't white, and it like rewrites history. So Forrest Gump
is Wesley Morris from New York Times was talking about
this this week on his podcast. But it rewrites history
so like Forest, so a white male helps the young
black woman who like is breaking through the breaking the
color barrier and Alabama, that's right, He's like helps her, Yeah,
(01:05:28):
he helps her pick up his book. It's just so
weird because Robert Zemeckis is the same dude who rewrote
history so that Marty McFly invented rock music instead of
Jack Barry. He like his whole soul is giving white
men credit for things that they didn't take credit for already.
(01:05:49):
There's a little bit of a difference. Don't touch the Bubba,
you know, we know that Bubba Tramp is a little
different that Bubba and bub Yeah. This person put Shakespeare
and Love It fifty five, which seems way to should
have been saying Brev Ryan Um. The I guess what
I'm trying to ask is is Forrest Gum canceled? Cancel
(01:06:11):
Forrest Gump a long time ago, cancel for I can't
I can't cancel him? All right? Yeah, I think, Uh,
you know who's Tom Hanks? Okay? My bad? Uh a shrimp?
Grandbody wants to know the top Casablanca's number one? Godfather Too?
And Godfather Part two is number four? All about Wait
(01:06:34):
Godfather one is before Godfather Too? Yeah? Yeah, people, it's
not objective. Yeah sure, who was it written by like
one person? It is written by the Tim Grierson and
Will Leach. Yeah there he sounds like a diverse group,
like they love Casablanca. Ya, Casablanca is good? Come on,
(01:06:55):
no it is? Yeah, that's yeah, No, that one's right.
You're right. I'm just just started sweating from profusely sweating
from my back for me. Number one will be mall rats. Yes.
