thank you for having us. I'm so glad we've got
to see you because you don't live in l A.
So the last time you're on. It's just because you
were passing through, and now since we're passing through, it

(02:55):
only made sense that we thank yeah, yeah, yeah, thank
you for joining. Is it snow here? It does not lightly,
not very lightly. There's done some big snowstorms here. Oh yeah,
like two years was it two years? Yes? Controversial because
people from the Midwest who live here, we're like, oh,
it's a little snow it's nothing. It's just that I

(03:18):
had this experience in Kentucky too. It's that there you're
right on the border between where it snows and where
it doesn't. So you have just enough people who just
don't know how to act and accurate, and they don't
and it snows rarely enough that they don't have like
infrastructure built up. It's like in Atlanta when they had
that snowstorm and people were stuck on the highway for

(03:39):
three days. That like all the time, we have terrible
in All you need for it to be is windy,
and people like don't know how the stick in the road, pandemonium.
Call the police, just pick it up out of the way. Yeah, Actually,
don't get out of your are on busy roads. I'm

(04:02):
talking about residential the highway. People just are punking their
horn at a fallen Yeah, branding a branch. All right, Bridget,
we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in the moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners a
few of the things we're talking about. It is Bloomberg
a pluza. Uh, we're talking about Mike his his flooding

(04:27):
the lanes on social media, on yeah, everywhere, a lot
of cool quotes coming out from him that are actually
quotes that have been around for a while but are
being recirculated so people can understand who the candidates. Yeah, exactly.
That's not fair. That's not you guys, not fair. Oh

(04:49):
you're leaking, cheating five years that has been on the internet,
voluntarily said to a group of people, and the thing
that he partially funds too write. So we're gonna look
at a study that was widely quoted by people on
the right, your Jordan's Peterson about how women just don't

(05:12):
like science. They don't like science, bro, that's why they
don't go into the sciences. Uh, it's just their choice. Um,
And somebody finally took a look at that study and
the numbers were all fucked up. So we're gonna talk
about that. We're gonna talk about Trump is getting his
favorite nurse back, Hope Picks. She's back baby. The Astros

(05:35):
gave one of the worst apology press conferences ever, So
we'll talk about that. It's truly something to behold. But first, bridget,
we like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that is revealing about who you are?
Something from my search history that is revealing about who
I am is the fact that I am apparently gullible

(05:56):
enough that if you saw that tweet recently that NASA
came out with a statement that a couple of days
ago was the only day that your broom could stand
up up right. And I live with a scientist, and
so I was like, is this true? Is this? Did
NASA I really say this? And he was like, no,
are you an idiot? And then I set off to
prove him wrong, did a lot of googling, and it

(06:16):
all turns out that's yes, NASA didn't say that. I
did spend two hours of my time getting my broom
to stand up up right. Um, did you get it?
I did? I have a picture. I documented this. It
took me two hours. I didn't get a video. Then
I don't know, man, you could have got it true,
you know. I mean, I'm a broom MythBuster. Everybody. Everybody

(06:38):
made it seem very easy, like they just like put
the broom down, that stood up. But I think it
takes a lot about It took me two hours of
my bad depends on how new the broom is. I'd
imagine it's easier with the new room versus like the
ones I have in my house, sort of like half
curled over from but then you can't get it to
stand up. But it has nothing to do with the planets.
So that's what I had to google. I didn't know.

(06:59):
I wasn't sure. Um, what is something you think is overrated? Okay,
something I think is overrated? And I don't know if
this is a controversial take. I just realized it was
a controversy around this. I guess I would say it
is overrated to be on a plane and not put
your seat back. Oh yeah, I just realized. So there
was a thing on Twitter where a woman put her

(07:21):
seat back and the guy behind her sitting in that
that last seat that doesn't go back, and so for
whatever reason, his response is to punch her seat repeatedly um,
and so I tweeted about that and people were like, oh,
people are divided, like who's in the wrong. And I
was like, well, obviously he's in the wrong, like she's
using her seat the way that it was designed to do.
And I found out that most people think it's rude

(07:43):
to decline your seat on a plane. I see, I
think about that. I go, oh, this is gonna suck
for the person. But I'm also like, I paid for
a fucking seat. It's the feature on there, so I'm
gonna do that. The part I do understand, right, is
more of like it's probably more about like treating the
plane as like a village right where we know we're

(08:03):
all oppressed in economy right by the airline and they've
given us these limited resources. Now we could abuse them,
but we should also consider our neighbors because we're all
in this together in steerage or whatever. Because I really think, yeah,
I think the most same take about the whole thing
is direct all your anger at the airline, definitely, because

(08:26):
but also like, you can't be punching someone's seat. I
think I think you're I think you don't. You don't
have to feel you're not a shitty person if you're like, oh,
that sucked that someone reclined their seat. But I don't
think that is violence. I don't know punching in the
back of somebody's seat over and over and over again. Uh.
And people, I saw that tweet and I saw people

(08:47):
responding being like, figged, she just started videoing. It is
like bullshit, she should have gotten somebody. And it's like,
you don't know what happened before she started doing what
the real context is this also, these my videos, you
never know what's actually happening was going on, and like
she just you know, I don't know what. They're just
going through a messy divorce. Yeah, I was like, oh,

(09:09):
that's my ex, Like I let him dry and I
just happened to be sitting in front of him and
I gave it to him one more time. Can you
imagine how angry you'd be if if that was my
ex wife? Who would like but you know, I'm maybe
rightfully destroyed by the divorce or something. And then there
she is in front of me and then sends me

(09:30):
into spatial Hell. Yeah, that back row though, that's criminal. Yeah,
And people people were saying in the comments of your
Twitter posts, that they were like, yeah, I'd never put
my I would never recline my seat. It's like, what
do you think it reclines for? Right? It like it?
I get it right, That's what I mean. Like, if

(09:51):
the sentiment is purely coming out of like I cannot
inconvenience with my fellow human, you know, because the space
is limited. But like to get very hard lined about it,
I'm sort of like, yo, if if the person in
front of me set comes back, guess what my seats
coming back exactly before anybody sends me hate mail on this,
I understand that you need to, like, maybe you need

(10:11):
to ask look behind you, make sure they're not drinking
a hot coffee. Good back there, don't you know? Just
shut it back? I do what the second we take off,
don't like stake your claim. Yeah, I'm just like, just
so you know, it goes and before the thing is
over your back, I use the the g forces of
the takeoff to slowly requires and then if they don't

(10:34):
they don't realize, it's too late. By the time they realize. Me,
one of the people in the comments I'm now realizing
I like read deeply into this thread. But one of
the people in the comments was saying that they their
trick is that if somebody reclines into them, they point
their air down the back of that person's neck and
it makes them like go for it every time, because

(10:54):
why you think I were a hoodie bro. Yeah, But
also like I mean if someone's really like, excuse me,
like you my knees. That's happened before someone was like
this person was huge, like tall and it was actually
impeding on their legs and I was like, oh, yeah,
I get that, but also wants to be like you
should have set in the bunkhead then yeah, I suffer

(11:15):
from a conflict avoidant personality disorder. I think like I
am just I will I will avoid the Yeah, I
will just avoid this ship out of any conflict no
matter what. But um the yeah. But like in that case,
I would always flip it forward. I can't imagine a
scenario where you're just like hitting it repeatedly. No, unless

(11:39):
like someone's hair, they put their hair over the seat.
I hate that. When I've seen that, it's it's gross.
It's it's not like very common, but it's starting to
creep up more and more. Anything like if I could
wear a bunny suit like one of those things or
like a hazmat suit onto planes. That's what I would

(11:59):
wear because they're filthy. It's not the air. Everybody blames
the air. It's the seats. You're sitting in a garbage can.
They do not clean that ship, so to like put
your hair all over that ship, I think in their
mind they're like, well, at least I'm like like laying
on it in between the seats. So like there was
a there's a photo of some like woman's hair being

(12:19):
so long coming out of the back that it was
nearly going into the drink of the person, in which
case you should just be like, you know what I'm
gonna I'm gonna tune up your little embre with some
tomato juice. Yeah, absolutely, And yeah flying is the worst. Flying.
It's like just so nasty. The CDC says that you
should not wash your hands when you're in the airplane
bathroom because it's that gross. It's like grosser than not

(12:41):
washing your hands after going to the bathroom. It's washing
them with that water. Is that true? I know I
talked about not knowing my like NASA science backs earlier,
but this one is take us to the bank all right,
what is something you think is underrated? Well, I think
I gotta go back to Miles on this one. I
think it's underrated ten not rise up against our like
corporate capitalist nightmare airplane line Overlord's like blaming anybody in

(13:06):
this plane situation. We should be blaming. Yes, yeah, And
when you look at it, it's such a cynical cash grab.
You've slowly just been putting more seats in and it's like,
not even it's not the same ship. And then I mean, obviously,
look if you're flying budget, you know, like I'm just
here to get from A to B. Like I don't
need an experience in the air. I just need the

(13:27):
experience of traveling something. But like, when you look at
the it's almost like by design, they want to make
it so bad that you're like, you know what, man,
maybe I should just forego my child's college fund and
fly business the next time because it's so unbearable sometimes,
especially if you're tall. Yeah, it can be. It can
be a bit of a nightmare. But that's why you

(13:48):
gotta just get in early, get that bunk that bunkhead
or what is it, a bulkhead emergency exit row. Although
Bulkhead does have that weird depends. Yeah, sometimes you get
the weird screen, the weird screen that folds out like
a robot, like a Transformer robot army that you never wanted. Um. Yeah,
I hate playing. Uh. And finally, what is a myth?

(14:12):
What's something people think is true you know to be false? Well,
I have to go back to my first one. I
don't know if that's kind of lame, but that your
broom stands up on one particular day and that NASA
said though, that's a myth, not true. Do we know
if this is was new or this has happened before
people have tried to perpetrate this home. I think it's
a hoax that comes up once a year. Like the
way that I saw it just described was like, oh,

(14:33):
it's the equinox, it's some special day. Um, but that's
not true right right, Um, we have to rise up
against our broom overlords as well. There there have been
other myths like this that went viral, Like before the Internet,
there was one that like if everybody jumped at the
same time in the UK, like something was going to
have through off the tilt of throw off the tilt

(14:55):
of the earth or something like Piba. Everybody did it,
and everybody did it except for one person. And that's why,
that's why I didn't throw off the tilt. That woman
is a hero, which just didn't know she happened to
be in the bathroom. All right, let's talk about what
Mike Bloomberg is doing to get just get his name
out there, you know, other than creating his own media

(15:15):
empire and naming it, areeing money at anything anyone who
might have a platform or anything, just like, hi, please,
I'm Mike Bloomberg. I just need name recognition because I'm
not trying to actually have a campaign here and just
trying to just do the name recognition thing. And some
people notice now that uh fuck Jerry, the great meme

(15:38):
stealing account who helped you know, the great fire Festival,
uh perpetrate their scam um is now apparently helping Mike
Bloomberg out. And these are experts on what is viral,
like on creating viral memes, and the way they do
that is they just steal tweets and Instagram posts from
actually talented committe and just like don't credit them, yeah

(16:02):
yeah yeah, or re contextualize them and then like yeah,
then it's Jerry Yeah, um yeah. A lot of like
their accounts, just big meme accounts. They've been posting like
this same construction basically of it looks like a d
M that comes from Mike Bloomberg and this is like
to the fun Jerry account and says, Hello, Jerry, my
granddaughter showed me this account. Your memes are very humorous.

(16:24):
Can you post a meme that lets everyone know I'm
the cool candidate? And then it says what did you
have in mind? And it's like a photo of him
like in a weird vest and shorts, and it just says,
when you're the cool candidate, and they just go that
will cost like a billion dollars. Then Mike Bloomberg responds,
what's your venomouh? And so that's supposed to be funny.

(16:47):
In the comment section, uh, he goes, he does look
pretty funk. Jerry posted he does look pretty cool and
then parentheses and yes this is really hashtag sponsored by
at my Bloomberg. Um, And then people in the comments
were like, so good, one guy, Wow, it's yeah. And

(17:09):
then they're even grape Juice Boys, same thing, Hello, grape
Juice Boys, can you post an original meme to make
me look cool for the upcoming Democratic primary. I don't
think so. To be honest, your vibe is kind of off. Wow,
that's that's that's saying that's actually And then he's puts
I put Lamborghini doors on the escalade what okay, wait,

(17:32):
I don't even really it says, and they're even saying
I don't get it. That's like the colm that that
Are you sure? I don't know what My first question is.
These aren't even funny, they're more just weird. So I'm
not even sure what he's trying to convey to the
youth or whatever, you know, whatever audience he's targeting. I'm
not sure what that message is. Is that, um, Mike

(17:54):
Bloomberg is perplexing. Yeah, and he's quoting lyrics from the
game Yeah like it. Okay, the Grape Juice boys like
the what they posted with it was I don't get it.
And then question mark question mark paid for by Mike Bloomberg.
So are they just like taking advantage of the fact
that he'll pay them to do nothing or yeah, it's

(18:16):
just wild. It's depressing. I think that one of the
accounts that reposted one of these is Kale Salad, and
I saw on Twitter that the person who runs that
is a BuzzFeed staffer, and there was a good conversation about,
you know, what are the guidelines that BuzzFeed has from
a political candidate paying one of their journalists money to
run advertising on their personal Instagram account, right, And I

(18:36):
thought like, that is a good question. That's a good question.
I I feel like we should allow journalists to secure
the bag there. They need to get paid. Yeah, but yeah,
I wonder what that means. I wonder if if their
takes are going to be a little less objective, like
you know, he did put Lamborghini doors on the escalator.

(18:56):
I bet you we'll have Chris Matthews saying that, and
he did put Lamborghini do. I mean, it seems like
it's about to be pretty concerted that everybody who was like,
you know, who's not feeling Bernie is gonna line up
behind Mike Bloomberg, still figuring out who will be the

(19:18):
savior for Wall Street. Mike Bloomberg had this tweet, we
know many of the same people in New York behind
your back, they laugh at you. This is at real
Donald Trump. They laugh at you and call you a
carnival barking clown. They know you inherit a fortune and
squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence and carnival hashtag
Carnival barking clown is the number three trending thing on Twitter,

(19:41):
and people are like, ha, this is so funny, and
like he Trump must be so scared of him, and
it's just well, we'll get into why we're a little
bit uh, you know, not not fully sold on Michael Bloomberg.
As it's not fully sold. I'm not full le sold all.

(20:02):
I wouldn't say I'm there right, there's there's still there's
still a shot. Yeah, but um yeah, I mean he's
he's getting support, he's he's racking up the numbers. So
we'll talk about what the people who are lining up
behind him are having to ignore. But first we're going
to take a quick break and we're back and let's

(20:35):
talk about some of the things that are coming out
about Bloomberg, because uh, you know, it feels like there's
like a lot of oppo research that's coming out, but
it doesn't seem actually like like all this ship was
just out there already, Like they're not you're not having
to do a ton of research. There's nothing about Okay,
so we'll first there was a clip that I think

(20:57):
most people had heard where he was basically talking about
how lit stop him frisk was and completely ignoring that
it was basically criminalizing being a black or brown young
man in the city and just more like, yeah, but
you know, you you just put them up against the
wall and they maybe they'll think twice to leave the
gat at home, and and that's how we make the
city safer. And then he said he had this Basically

(21:18):
he's describing the how like over policing creates this bias
about how dangerous neighborhoods are, without actually exploring that. He's
out loud saying goes and then you go in those
neighborhoods and you police some more, and then what do
you know, there's more arrests there. It's like because you're
over police and like when you look, I mean, all
the statistics just show like how completely wrong everything he

(21:39):
was saying. But he was trying to find like basically
saying like, yeah, I'm I guess I'm vindicated in doing this,
when it was just an absolutely just terrible, atrocious racist
policy of harass did he really say maybe white people
are being over yes, and maybe we need to police
the other neighborhoods a little more. He sounds. The thing is,
I think his energy is so low you don't realize

(22:01):
I'm saying, like, the most vile shit is my energy.
So even if he's screaming like Trump, you know he's
like this, it's a lot different. Someone's like, you know,
Trump did say that he has dead energy like Trump
is like above all things a media critic where he's
like his energy is off y. He sounds like a

(22:23):
wet balloon. But yeah, the whole thing was like so
then there was this that that whole thing, and when
he was asked to sort of like defend it, he
was just being like, you know, I I lad one
of the most diverse cities in the world. Never actually
answering like the substance of it, like why would you
say that? Like what are you do you believe that?

(22:44):
And he goes, I've already apologized. It was five years ago,
and that's five Yeah, that's years. I don't know why
we're bringing this recent. Isn't that like at the end
of his run as mayor or was he still right?
I don't even know if that's after a lot of time,

(23:05):
a lot of his ideas had time to solidify, and
that's what he believes. And I'm sure if he had
any kind of campaign staff worth their own salt, they're like, hey,
you're going to have to figure this one out. Especially
let's not figure out like this is what he did,
Like this is I mean figuring out address it? Right?
I think that's my thing. Like, as a black person,

(23:27):
I can't imagine ever voting for him. Apparently I'm I'm not,
I'm a minority in this regard um, but I can't
imagine voting for him if there's not some meaningful, thoughtful
reckoning not just why I apologized it was five years ago,
because that's what I hear from him now. I don't
think he has taken stock of how horrible this policy

(23:47):
was for an entire generation of black and brown kids
in New York. And I think that, like until and
and because of that, I think that he cannot quite
see us as like fully human or like fully deserving
of that kind of like thoughtful, thoughtful reflection of his
own policy. And so I think you're right until I
hear some kind of like a meaningful tactic around it
or like addressing of it. It's like it all sounds

(24:09):
like noise. Yeah, and it is. And that's why I'm like,
I don't expect any kind of meaningful response because I'm
looking at everything he says and how he acts, and
that's just who he is. I don't believe there's a
self aware of person or someone who's seeking growth or
any kind of reconciliation about the effect it had on
millions of people. He just sort of like, that's what
it was. And the numbers, you know, they show one thing,

(24:30):
and I'll look at it very narrowly. Then he was
out here saying in another sound bite that basically the
two thousand eight economic crash was in part due to
the ending of redlining, or less restrictive loans being given out,
which was unbelievable, where it's like, hold on, you're talking
about the most racist practice that has led to the

(24:52):
exact wealth inequality that we see today, like and the
exact wealth inequality with primer if you're hearing this word redlining.
For the first time in the eties, their surveyors went
to like hundreds of cities in the country and began
raiding neighborhoods like green meant best, blue still desirable, yellow
definitely declining, and red for hazardous, and back then in

(25:12):
the thirties that just meant not white. And so basically
from there it was saying that these red districts are risks,
so you shouldn't give them loans at all, and if
it were, and if you did, it would be tremendously expensive,
or they just wouldn't be there at all. And so
that means people can't move up up. There's no upward
mobility if you cannot buy a home. And the way
people woul accumulate wealth in the United States is through

(25:34):
buying their homes, owning a home, owning property. And so
when you look at even now the legacy of it
in all these impoverished neighborhoods, they're still there because of
this or yeah, or just the bucket they were put
into buy a bunch of random races were not random,
but just these racist people who wanted to create this
system that r FDR. Yeah. Literally, um So, the term

(25:57):
redlining has a lot of weight behind it. It speaks
a lot to the scenario and the situation on black
and brown people, especially black people in this country find
themselves in especially look at Baltimore, Like that's completely redlining
has the legacy is still there in many places, is
in Georgia, all over the country. And so to hear
a candidate try and blame like loans being given out

(26:18):
or equating that somehow black and brown people lead to
the economic collapse is unbelievable. It's absurd, it's offensive, and
it's diabolical. It's completely I'm like, there's no especially billionaires
and like wealthy people on Wall Street, like his people
caused the economic collapse, and it's just like going out

(26:40):
of his way to see people. When you're told to
give more loans out, you give the loans out, but
then there's some people who don't have the credit for it,
so then they're overextending themselves and then you need additional
credit to keep that going. And it's a really bad place,
you know. Um, so that's what's going. And then so
when he was asked about that, the campaign had the
lamest excuse, you like, why did Mike Bloomberg try and

(27:03):
like say that like redlining or the lack of redlining
caused the economic collapse And it's sort of like what
are you was saying was the end of redlining was
a good thing that happened, and then after that a
bad thing happened. That was like almost the gist of
the things, like that's the worst thing I've ever heard,
not even explanations, that's just a weird distillation and just

(27:24):
being like okay, so fuck up. And then something else
I want to I like to mention when we talk
about redlining, is that this it sounds like something that
happened so long ago, but think about this. A lot
of people in this country they're only able to pay
for college if their parents can mortgage at home, Like
that's how my fads paid for me to go to college.
And so there are still ramifications of this today. Redlining
is still something that we're fighting for, fighting against today,

(27:47):
the impacts of it that we feel today. And so
if you're in college, if you're young person, look around, like,
did your grandfather own his home and so he could
mortgage that to send your dad to college and he
could mortgage his home toess and you to college. Your
black class, your brown class might might not be in
that same situation. So it's very much something that we
are still kind of steeping in today when there's still
a lot of racism in like the real estate industry

(28:10):
and where yeah, like it's still when you're still getting
digged for discriminatory lending. And when you again, when you
look at it, that wealth disparity shows up now because
white families have ten times the net worth of Black
families and eight times out of Hispanic families. That's just
that's just what it is. Because they came through and said,

(28:31):
if this is in a Northern European person area, we're
probably it's probably gonna be a red for it's a
bunch of like unofficial policies and like you know ship
like that's hidden in maps, in like archives, in history
and in like libraries, but like that's where the racism,
like you can find it, and that's where it's And

(28:52):
this is why, like when you look at a candidate, right,
these are the steaks. There is systemic racism in this
country that is still you know, thriving, and we're we've
no one. There's not really been a real meaningful, uh
plan to really deconstruct that and try and create some equity.
So when I look at a candidate and I look
at somebody who's trying to like very casually and lamely

(29:15):
be like, you know, if the red lining was still there,
maybe the Wall Street people wouldn't have taken a hit.
I'm like, you have no clue what the stakes are
for regular people, and you have no clue that damage
that has been done and based off. If you don't
know what the damages, you can't fix it because it's
invisible to you. And I need to be visible to
a candidate. If I am invisible, I will they will

(29:35):
not advocate for me. And so I think that's why,
you know, when when the Bloomberg ad came on accidentally
in front of our show, We're like, man, fuck that,
because this guy, this he actually to me personally. You know,
I'm not gonna speak for everybody here, but he's embodying
everything that is wrong with the political system and this
kind of this outsized power people have to just sort

(29:56):
of throw their weight around without with seemingly no benefit
for regular people. It just seems like this is something
like this is a project. He saw how vulnerable the
party looked. Right now, he knew he had hundreds of
millions of dollars. You could just sneeze away and just
fart away on TVs like whatever, it's an afterthought, and
then you're like, yeah, and then maybe we'll see, maybe
he'll be the president. He spent more money than anybody

(30:18):
has spent on their campaign maybe ever at this point.
Well his answer to the press pressed him on that also,
and he was sort of like, well, you know, some
of these other people have been working for you know,
a year or something. We've only been at it ten weeks,
so into that we're keeping up. It reminded me of
the CEO of Goldman Sachs was tweeting the other day

(30:40):
who was like, if Bernie gets elected, Russia would be
thrilled because he hates our military and would sink our economy.
And this is a guy who was the CEO of
Goldman SAX during the economic collapse, like during financial crisis.
This dude was leading one of the largest banks. And yeah,
this is just the These hundred millionaires or billionaires are

(31:03):
really scared of becoming like ten millionaires, like they're just
will millionaire billionaire because these dudes are protecting their ship
like wild, I mean the tax hit Mike Bloomberg would
take under Bernie's planning, things like three billion dollars, right,
and if you look at that. It's like, man, maybe
it's worth me spending four million. That's the thing. It's like,

(31:28):
that's so much money that like my brokeras can't even
sort of fathom it. Wouldn't he still have so much
left over? Can't like process Yeah, I feel like absurd. Yeah,
I can't process it. And I think he's worth six
almost sixty two billions, Like what does that even mean?
That is that even does that even bridget then he'll
have less than sixty billion dollars that's him. See, that's

(31:51):
what's at stake from Mike Bloomberg in this selection lens. No.
I mean, I think something that really grosses me out,
and that I think it's one of the reasons why
Bloomberg is doing so wellwa Like black communities and other communities,
I think that we have gotten into this very sick
growth place of wanting to see these two white rich
guys kind of duke it out, and so people are
saying things like, oh, well, Bloomberg, like he actually has

(32:14):
the money that Trump brags about having or pretends that
he has, and I want to see those two like
he can really take Trump down in the way only
like another rich white guy could, and logically I sort
of get that, But what if that's not what I
want from my fucking president, Like, what if that's not
what I think their generational differences right, and what we're
seeking in this election. Some people purely just do not

(32:36):
want to see Donald Trump in the White House anymore.
And they they're the other issues that like, we can
get to those later. They're like, they're just people are
just so disinterested in anything else, just like just to win.
That's one group of voters, and then there are other
people who are just like, no, I'm looking, I feel
like this is an opportunity to maybe do something good, uh,

(32:57):
and I want to see that reflected in the candidate
I'm choose. And that's where it's like you're starting to
see these like itt manifests in all these weird ways
now where especially when you see like like Boomer, like
black voters being like, yeah, Bloomberg isn't too bad, and
when you look at evidence like this or sound bites
like this, sometimes the response is just sort of like, yeah,

(33:19):
but you know, so are most white politicians. Or that's
how I feel deep down. So maybe this is just
the lesser of evils, and that's just what Like, that's
what's disheartening, because there's the lesser of evils does not
give a fuck about you either way. And that's when
I'm like, you really want people to see, like, no
matter who you are, what your situation is, try and

(33:42):
really understand that. Like we've only we've a majority of
the time had presidents who are not really interested in
like making sure everybody is doing better. And I think
this is this is the kind of things where only
a few candidates are kind of saying the right thing
out loud or I'm like, this person seems to understand
what the what the stakes are for non millionaires. I
read somebody at five thirty eight tying that to kind

(34:04):
of the history of you know, suffering oppression. You know
you are, your rights are being held down, and so
you are looking for the most practical person to create
a coalition with, essentially like and so black voters tend
to be more pragmatic and they're gonna like go with

(34:24):
the candidate they think is most electable, which is like
I think if you are especially older people who are
like more steeped in media narratives, they are like, well,
Biden and Bloomberg are like the two guys who like
have the most standard like definition qualifications to be president,
and why the funk would you know somebody who's on

(34:47):
the left do well. And I think it also ties
to like what a lot of people are thinking with
regards to They just want somebody who can beat Trump,
and they feel like Bloomberg can beat Trump, and they're
not They're not thinking outside of the box. They're thinking of,
you know, of this as just another election that is

(35:09):
going to play by the rules of every election, except
when I think some people probably are so beaten down
by their situation and by this system that they're probably
a little nihilistic, like this ship is gonna happen. I'll
never see a world where I'm paid a living wage. Definitely,
I will continue to toil. And I think that's what
you people need to begin to connect with the idea

(35:30):
that it no like you're It's not that you shouldn't
be resigned to the fact that it's unchangeable. It's like,
there are more of us, and if we are coordinated
and we're organized, there is a way to balance the
scales properly. But if but but to get just to
resign to the fact that well, This is how it
always is. That's how we end up, you know, slipping
every time. Yeah, I think that your point is a

(35:51):
really salient one. I'm glad that you brought it up.
I have a lot of friends that are Nigerian immigrants,
and you know, Trump is cracking down an immigration from Nigeria.
And these are people who I would have thought, who
I would have just ribed as like very civically engaged, active,
like paying attention, and now just like the burden of
navigating their like increasingly more precarious immigration situations, they have

(36:12):
no time to do what I'm doing, you know, to
like be reading everything, going to rallies, calling my lawmakers,
this that the third no time. And I think that
that's under a when you are dealing with this kind
of I mean, I'll use the word trauma when you're
dealing with that. The idea of being able to like
dream of making a living wage or dream of not

(36:32):
having to like fight through all this red tape just
to stay here with your family, that seems like a
fantasy and it's not even worth putting an energy when
you have this real world ship that's going to be
knocking at your door today tomorrow and I think that's
a really that's a part of living under bucked up
fascist for Jeames that goes overlooked. It's like that that

(36:53):
kind of like psychic. Yeah, yeah, that's why. Yeah, like
you hope that I mean, we'll see how these are there.
You know, primaries play out, and you'd hope that there's
enough energy that people can at least believe in the
ability to start of begin to draw things back. But yeah,
you see what happens. I feel like you're already kind
of seeing it with the mainstream acceptance of Trump now,

(37:16):
like people are just beat down in general. I think
there's like only a certain amount of like mental calories
that we can burn on Trump before people are just
like yeah and just outrage, before people are like yeah,
I can't do it anymore. When we talk about how
by the time, like when the Nazis first swept into power,
there were all sorts of outraged news articles, but like

(37:39):
by the twelfth year that yeah, when they're like Hitler
had a funny quote yesterday about one of his political rivals.
So I mean that's how it happens. That's just it
becomes normalized. But that's why, you know, just have to
insist that you don't that you don't normalize it, that
you can you can maintain that, not have to be

(38:00):
in a state of rage constantly, but to understand like
what the stakes are at the very least, because I
think most people it kind of flies by people very
quickly because it's easy to get lost in all the
other stuff that's going on. Yeah, there's also a Twitter
thread that linked off to some of Bloomberg's past sexist behavior.
That is, that's a whole another segment. He's just I

(38:25):
had I had told one story that I had heard
about him, like a journalist going up to him and
like complimenting him on his gun reform, and Bloomberg just saying,
look at the ass on her to him about somebody.
But uh, there's just a litany of these quotes of
just like horrible things. I'd fuck that in a second.

(38:47):
I'd do that piece of meat. If women wanted to
be appreciated for their brands, they'd go to the library
instead of Bloomingdale's uh calling women fat broads and horse
face lesbians. They would go to the libraries that where
when we got our clothes. What does that mean? Um?
He would not let women who worked for him wear

(39:09):
flat shoes. He made them wear high heels. He would like,
talk shit about them if they like, let like tiny
fraction of their hair grow out like gray at the roots. Um,
he would say, do you pay a lot to make
your hair beat two colors? Because now it's three with
the gray. That's what he said to a woman who

(39:30):
worked for him. One woman came in and informed him
she was pregnant, and he said, kill it. And she
said what he repeated himself. It wasn't like a like
I'm just kidding. He was just like, yeah, no, kill it.
Uh what a fucking way to even communicate that. Yeah,

(39:50):
Like again, that shows you how disposable life is to
this person too, in service of my billions, kill you?
And I guess it is like people, it is just
just like Trump. Like this, If you told me that
Trump has had all of these things, I wouldn't believe you. Like,
people just want things to go back to normal and
to have Trump out of office, and they will be

(40:11):
fine with someone who feels this way about women and
talks this way to women. You know, it's like it's
just so fucked and was a Republican U right on
top of all of that. Yeah. We people talked about
Elizabeth Warren for having been a Republican like decades ago.
This dude was a Republican like days ago. He was

(40:33):
this is all. Yeah. One of his employees told him
she was married. He said, what is the guy dumb
and blind? What the hell is he marrying you for?
Or that she was engaged? So yeah, really cool, really cool. Yeah,
it seems like there's just an unending reservoir of just
horrible ship this guys. I mean, he he is just

(40:56):
But that's the thing, man, with these That's why you
should if you're a billionaire, you should not be able
to run for office. You have left earth. You are
not you are not on earth anymore. You can I
even think of how much my life changed when I
went from having not having a job to having a job.
Did you feel like you were like bawling out of control. Yes,

(41:17):
I was like, oh watch me, watch me get this
big gass drink at the movie. I'm totally putting my
fete like I'm living big now. Just you know, and
that any time you get a little bit of mobility
upward mobility, your lifestyle changes, inevitably, your values changed somewhat
or or what what's important? You can change some what
But when you keep moving up and up, and when
you get to the billions, Yeah, it's just you've never

(41:42):
you've never ridden, you're not on the subway, you've never
been shoulder to shoulder with somebody. But might be completely
different than you are, completely different classes and you you're not.
Every time you get in a car, you have the
same driver, you got tinted windows, you have to look
anybody in there. You get out, someone greets you, go
immediately to whatever space you need to be in. You
go to whatever private dining room we're gonna be in.
The peep will you interact with in a service capacity

(42:02):
might as well be avatars and not real people. So
you begin that should you're in another dimension of existence.
And I think and that shows with a lot of
these people because they are unable to like reconnect to
what that real human experiences of toiling under capitalism and
maybe not having the time to do all these things
that you'd like to do or what you're able to do.

(42:23):
And whereas he would describe it, he's really a victim
of the way other people are treating him because he's
just self preservation. They won't treat him like a normal person.
So I mean, what's he's supposed to do? All right,
We're gonna take another quick break, we'll be right back,

(42:50):
and we're back. And so there was a study that
was apparently very widely cited among right wing people. Jordan
p Person uh did a whole video about it, and
right wing think tanks were all about it. Um. The
studies seemed to suggest that women in progressive societies went

(43:12):
into STEM fields even less than women in less progressive society.
So basically, if women's rights were protected, they went into
STEM fields even less. And so the idea is basically
like these progressives, like their values are just enforcing something
that disagrees with the natural law and the natural law

(43:34):
as women aren't interested in science. And a Harvard science historian, uh, so,
like the most qualified person to look into this sort
of thing, uh, Jordan Peterson, No, not Jordan Peterson, uh
looked at the study and found that the study authors
used a very selective set of data to produce a

(43:56):
contrived and distorted picture of the global distribution of women
and STEM achievement. So huh yeah, and they were just
like raw rying on that thing, like that's those are
the facts, man feelings, those facts, but that I've manipulated
to say. It's like, but I wonder how many minds
will change. It's almost like that the fucking anti vac
ship where people are like, oh, yeah, the autism thing.

(44:17):
When that's completely debunked, it's like, well, um, there's other
stuff too, like you know what I mean, like what
happens when your biggest card is taken from once. I
feel like once these bunk studies are like out there
in the ether, it's so hard to even have any
kind of retraction or reflection on them. They just become
part Like I guarantee you will see this bunk study

(44:38):
um cited in like online arguments from now Bill the
End of Time. Like, once it's out there, I think
it's out there, it becomes part of like the conscious
answer something. And I think pointing out that it's debunked
just causes people to pivot. Really, there's never like oh
it was debunked because I don't think it's about the study.
I don't think it's about like the data, the number birds.

(45:00):
I think it's about something else. It's about making this
like cultural argument that they're so sure it is right
that it really doesn't matter whether or not that's one
study wasn't But I'm sure for like young people who
are still like trying to figure out how the world works,
you know, like like I could see them being swung
by some ship like this. So uh well, it's like,

(45:20):
I mean, that's what's scary about Jordan Peter something. I
think that's where you again, it's it's about you know,
like you're saying, Bridget, it's not even that they care
about this study. It's just that everyone has a world
view they're trying to reinforce. Some people are more rigid
about being able to, you know, reflect and analyze their
own perspective. And I think if you're not, the debunking

(45:41):
doesn't mean anything. The second it enters your consciousness, it's like,
and you're you just need that to reinforce whatever your
reality is. It's like, well, if I give that up,
my reality is not really exactly and then and then
what do I do know? So women film like science,
I'll just go with that. Yeah, it takes a lot
to work to refigure things out for yourself. Um. Well,

(46:04):
In good news for the Trump administration, they are bringing
his nurse back into the White House. Okay, So when
I read this right that Hope Hicks was coming back
to the White House, this is what I said. Trump's
former communications director will work in Trump's son in law
and senior advisor Jared Kushner's office at the White House.
I'm like, what, So she's working in shady Jared's office.

(46:25):
I'm like, he is. His mental health is completely going
off the rails. This is not she She offers nothing
strategically to them. She her Trump whisper. Her greatest skill
to that administration was like he listened to her and
she was able to control some of his impulses. And
like you're saying, called her the Trump whisper. She was
at Fox making money. Okay, she was the fucking executive

(46:50):
president and chief communications officer at Fox, so pretty big
media company. Yeah, you know what I mean. And at
some point and suddenly they're like she's going back to
the White House. That must have been them begging her
to be like it's getting bad. You know, you're one
of the few people that can talk to him. Were
really worried about this, Please come back, because what's in

(47:12):
it for her? I mean, like why, like why else
would she do this. It doesn't make sense as a
career move for for someone like her. It really makes
no sense other than what you're laying out. That is
literally a step backward. Yeah, stem going to go right
back to what I was doing before that. I left
that I wanted to go because it wasn't working out. Yeah,
it was backdrop of the Mueller investigation. How she was

(47:35):
like caught up in a few different things. That was
just just like, you know what, maybe I'm I don't
really want to do this, but you know, some people,
uh think that you know that this has nothing to
do with his mental state, But when you see, like
you know, there are more and more reports and whispers
like I don't know how founded they are, but when

(47:55):
you see him speaking, clearly his vocabulary has been diminished
um over the last couple of years. No, that's just
because he's becoming a better public He's going to communicate
efficiency of words. Yeah, okay, but I'm to me, that's
what I really I mean, the only value I really
see how Picks offering the White House is her ability
to communicate with the president. At at best, they need

(48:20):
somebody who can communicate with him still. At worst, they
maybe think that she can maybe get him across the
finish line for some of these like for this campaign
or something, just because of their relationships. I don't know.
And also like, you know, why isn't she in jails?
Really good question. I remember when she was being questioned

(48:40):
a lot of the media, We're like, oh, well, she's
just the framing was She's just a young girl who
got caught up like party, like really, like, I mean,
we're contemporaries. No one if I did if I like
did something wrong in my job or was like a
party to something like wrong, Yeah, no one will be like, oh, well,
she's just a poor kid who got didn't know what
she was getting into over her head. Like why do

(49:01):
people kind of project that onto her? I think because
she was pretty Yeah, And I think there's still like
just this thing of like they just want to act like, oh,
maybe she didn't have any agency in this and it
was caught up in this thing. But it's like she
knew what it was when she signed up. She's you know,
part of the job is to lie. She helped lie
for the president that came with it. And I don't

(49:23):
think there's anything I don't see anything about her experience
there that would be like, oh, she's a victim here.
I also think it was like at a time when
communications were occupied by Sarah Sanders and her and people
were just like, well, anything is better than Sarah Sanders.
Like but at this point just like quiet and behind
the scene. Yeah, but there's no need for a comms

(49:43):
team anymore. Like we've seen what the method is now
at the White House, Like we don't talk to Hogan
Gidley will come out and like say some weird stuff
in his fancy new coat and then you know, funk
off into the darkness. But I don't know who Hogan
Gidley is, but I'm picturing somebody with like fur of
some sort or like he was wearing suring a cat's character. No,

(50:04):
he is like the new you know, comms guy um
and press secretary. But he was wearing this jacket. It
looked like something Olivia Pope would wear in like scandal.
Oh my god, this dude definitely thinks he's Olivia Pope's Pope.
When I saw that this one, I'm like, you think
you're actually was like starving in the mirror that morning.

(50:27):
I wish I could see this code like he was
definitely styling himself in the mirror, being like, yeah, better
watch out Hogan. Yeah, yeah, damn. But he's just like
you know, but it's a look. He just goes out
and says what he has to say. He has you

(50:48):
can tell he has no soul in his eyes. It's
even more of a look when it's tied up. Oh
is that the photo with him and Sarah s Andrew's Yeah,
I like it better open. Yeah, it looks better like
he definitely had it like perfect lee opened. Yeah. I
think that his like press spray was delayed for a
few minutes because the collar wasn't standing. The Astros, I

(51:10):
guess their owner or president, Jim something Crane. Jim Crane, Yeah,
I don't. This guy just seems like a complete asshole.
But so they he was like, well, we're certainly going
to address this with our team when we start spring training.
The cheating. Yeah, address the cheating and like come out

(51:31):
with a statement as an organization where they addressed the
fact that they had They basically used sign stealing and
then when they knew a change up or an off
speed pitch was coming, they would bang on a trash
can to communicate or some people had buzzers on them.
People had buzzs. They get a vibration to know what
that what pitch was coming. And when you look at

(51:51):
how they hit at home versus how they hit on
the road, it was apparently easier for them to do
it at home. Uh, it's just statistically anomalous, Like it
couldn't it would make no sense statistically if there weren't
some explanation for why they were so much better at home.
And this is the explanation. Uh. And they also, like

(52:15):
when you look at the players before and after this
whole system like started happening, it's they just like got miraculously,
like shockingly better. There's a chart on eight where it
shows like how teams improved from two thousand sixteen to
two thousand seventeen. When they started doing it, they had
the biggest jump. Oh. They it's like they're not even

(52:37):
on the same chart as the other teams. It's like
it makes no sense whatsoever. Um. So, with all of
that in mind, you know, Jim Crane and the powers
that be at the ASTROS organization, We're gonna sit down
with the players and you know, figure out how to
address this, how to express their remorse make amends. Uh,

(52:58):
just kidding. He had a press conference where he was like,
we talked it over, we don't think it had any
impact on the competition. People were like, wait, so what
are you apologizing for and he was like, well, we
do apologize that we broke the rules. And then the
reporter was like, but isn't sign stealing a distinct advantage?

(53:19):
How could it not impact the competition? He said, it
could impact it. It could not impact it. Jesus fucking Christ.
Our opinion is that this didn't impact the game. They
need and then fifty five seconds later, I didn't say
it didn't impact the game. It was just almost kind

(53:40):
of respect it. Other quotes, I don't think I should
be held accountable, which is always just a good thing
to say out loud, like just put somebody else out
there like I shouldn't be me. Opinion is this didn't
impact the game. We had a good team, we won
the World Series, and we'll leave it at that. Somebody
please sir, we will not Somebody please sue over this.

(54:02):
I don't know what the fun like this is absurd.
That was the most frustrating World Series to be rooting
against a Dodger fan Man I know people who threw
their nearly their lives away and buying tickets to those games,
went to Game seven only to be just get your
spirit ripped out of your body and thrown into Chado's ravine.

(54:23):
How are they responding to this news? I can only
imatter fuming. But it's weird. There's also this thing. It's like, well,
we don't want an asterisk win, right, you know, like
it would have felt better. But at the same time,
there needs to be justice on some level, and not
just from the l A City Council with their you know,
developer shill council members being like, oh, we think we're

(54:44):
this is a resolution that says Major League Baseball should
give the Dodgers the win. No, we need something, We
need something real here. But the irony of it too
is this part of me is like you, I don't
care if people are signed stealing in a way, if
you're using like your eyes, like sure you got someone
on second, that's just like some human ship that you
happen to catch and you got to figure that out
because that's just in view camera. Yeah, when you bring

(55:07):
in technology, buzzers, because the funny part was when they
asked Pete Rose, you know, who's banned for life for
gambling on his own team and just other games that
were going on. Uh that Like he was like, He's like,
what's the big deal When everyone was like, no, Pete,
this is your chance to say, yeah, funk that. I
just bet He's like, I never changed the outcomes of games.

(55:28):
I just have like I was gambling at it. Yeah,
And it was just like he keeps it so real
in a way that it's like when a lot of
people were like, Pete Roe should be back in major
League Baseball if he's if they're allowing this to just
go on, especially with like these kinds of like one
year bands and ship like that. But hey, you know,

(55:48):
we don't make the rules. The rich white guys do. Um.
All right, finally, let's talk about the Escobar too. This
is the funniest ship to me. Pablo Escobar's brother Okay,
the fucking the drug king Pim, Pablo Escobar, his brother Roberto, Uh,
huge fucking tech maven. Okay, he is like he's all in.

(56:10):
He's trying to design all kinds of phones and ship
right now. He's the new Esteban as I would say,
Steve Chops from my bilingual speakers. So he's he wants
to make this new device called the Escobar Fold two,
and it's a foldable cell phone. It's a knockoff of
the Galaxy fold phone, like a terrible knockoff, but it's

(56:32):
just rebranded with like a like a Pablo Escobar golden
monogram on the back. The kinds of ship that his
brother has done. Just along the way here, he threatened
to sue Elon Musk for allegedly stealing his idea for
the that flamethrower and demanded one billion dollars from Netflix,
also over the show about his brother. Um. And then

(56:52):
like Ben so like in December, he's like, live, I've
got this like revolutionary phone. It's going to sell for
a thousand dollars less than the like then the like
the biggest one out there. Um. And he said, I
have told many people that I would beat Apple and
I will, oh okay um. And then so this phone
comes out. It's apparently a based off the Royal Flex

(57:16):
Pie or something. It's basically a knockoff. Um. But when
they people were like trying to buy it, they only
got all kinds of like headaches from it. Uh, they
said that like they took the three forty nine that
these people were paying for the phones and then just
didn't deliver when they were supposed to, and some people
when they did like get something in the mail. It

(57:36):
was a fucking book written by Roberto Escobar with the
title I made billions selling coke. Now my smartphones will
destroy Apple and Samsung. That's what they got instead of
an actual phone, Yes, the equivalent. I mean, that's actually
to be fair that that title of a book is

(57:58):
basically a cocaine right, that's okay, story exactly. That is
big cocaine, smartphone destroy Apple and Samsung. Man, were the
most cocaine thing that I've ever heard. Yeah, I made billions,
normous title, I made billions. Now, my what's the pivot there? Now?

(58:19):
My smartphones will destroy Apple and Samsung. It's the other
really fantastic part about this is that Mike Bloomberg isn't
the only person using his business savvy to get celebrity
endorsements for some of his products. He's also like been
using cameo to get like cameos, a website where you
can pay like washed celebrities like excuse you, yours truly

(58:41):
is on cameo if you want to. I mean, yeah,
you're doing it the right way. It's when I see
people like Bethany Frankel like doing her videos in the
back of a van, like, Hey, it's Bethany, I've heard
it was your birthday. Happy birthday. Yeah. Um. So all
kinds of people are like on here, um, including Corey Lewandowski,

(59:03):
Donald Trump's former campaign manager, and somewhat just when you
listen to these endorsements, they are they ring so fucking hollow,
and they just sound like a cameo video. It's so
sad that Lewandowski is on cameo. I feel sorry for him. Like,
I mean, so Bethany Frankel like shoots videos in the

(59:26):
back of Yes, I bought a cameo by Ramona Singer
from Your Household, New York, from my friend's birthday party.
And she she did a great job. She seemed a
little um. She seemed like she had been enjoying some wine.
It was turtle time. I'm I'm fluent, you know what
I mean. Wait, what is turtle time? That's what she says.

(59:48):
It's like a It's like a little song slash dance
that she does when she's like turning up turtle time.
It's it's so I never quite got it, but I
did enjoy it. So he's going on cameo um and
getting some great celebrity endorsements from Korey Lewandowski, Trump's former
campaign manager. UM. Let me just I'll just play this
Korey Lewandowski one for everybody, just so you can hear

(01:00:10):
how amazing this new revolutionary cell phone is. This is
celebrated Snake oil salesman Korey Lewandowski. Hey, this mesters for Roberto. Roberto.
It's Korey Lewandowski. I was President Trump's twenty sixteen campaign
manager and his current senior adviser. Look all Off reached
out to me and I want to just tell you
guys that I've seen the new Escobar Full two phone

(01:00:32):
and it's absolutely incredible. So this is just a quick
big shout out to you guys that did all the
work behind that, and I wish you the very best
and all the success in the world. Don't forget vote
Donald Trump November. Holy the energy of also like he
had a real intense energy. My man did not blink,

(01:00:52):
actually didn't just like he starts off the video from
the back and then leans into it. Hey, Roberto, it's
me Korey Lewandowski, Camp's Trump pay manager manager himself to him, well,
like I just making sure of the check clear, you know,
just the audience for who he thinks he's talking to
his unclear to me because he's talking to Roberto, but

(01:01:16):
then he's also talking about Roberto's product. Yeah, maybe they'll
edit for the thing, I think, because maybe Roberto Escobar
smart and be like, well, these Trump people buy sucking
anything about Trump branded plastics by anything of Corey Lewandowski
is endorsing the fold two, then maybe the lineup. Then
we really get to see his whole marketing plan really

(01:01:38):
play out because he also got a cameo video from
Chris Hanson from To Catch a Predator. And again I
don't know who the marketing team goes. This is who
you need, Corey Lewandowski and Chris Hanson from The Catch
a Predator And these phones are gonna fly off the shelf.
Listen to this one again to it. This one's kind
of sad. Hey guys, Chris Hanson here of Hanson versus
Predators and the Ketri Predator. I just wanted to tell

(01:01:59):
you all that I've seen this amazing new smartphone called
the Escobar Fold Tube. It appears to be the best
phone out right now. I've been looking at the transcripts,
so have a seat. Check it out, and remember I'll
be watching Take Care of Oh my god, he's drunk.
I have to say, I don't want to like he

(01:02:20):
has seen better days. Like I did not recognize him.
Chris Hanson looks like she looks raw. He looks like
he drank a bunch of hotel wine. Is in a
hotel room? Is that what the background is? And he
doesn't have that kind of design restraint. And it's not
that he looks like unkempt, like he just rolled out

(01:02:40):
of bed. He has his hair combed. He just looks bad.
He's just listen. He sounds like Joe Namath when he
was hitting on Susie Colbert. Listen to this one of
these lines he guys Chris Hanson here of Hanson versus
Predators and the Ketrip Predator. I just because he's probably
blasting through his amos quick. The fact that they would

(01:03:03):
do that for fifty bucks, like that's what all depends.
I don't know what Chris Hansen's rates are, but I
feel lets you like you pick your own rates are
reasonable five dollars, like you will endorse a product. I mean,
I think that some people have you figured out that
you can because mostly Cameo was like with my friend's birthday,
she loves you, you know, say hello, Can I get

(01:03:24):
Debbie Gibson to say exactly exactly? It's like a dumb
gift whatever. I think some people have figured out that
you can get celebrities to seemingly endorse like your project
or your brand or something and like no offense to
these people, but a lot of them are too dumb
to know the difference. Like there was a thing on
Cameo where like Nazis, We're getting celebrities to like say
Nazi slogans and they just didn't know. So I think

(01:03:44):
people would realize you can kind of gamify it it.
I mean some of these prices, wow, Okay, So for example,
Chris Hansen, you can get him for sixty dollars. Feel
Michael Rappaport one? What Gilbert Godfried one fifty? Ernie Hudson Okay, Oh,
shall I go on flavor flavor to fifties? Sir, I'm not.

(01:04:08):
I don't have time. Tommy Laren you can get for
eight oh ship, Yeah, we pulled our money. There's no
way that she would say what we want. No, but
we would have to do a weird thing where we
could like stitch it all together and like a maniacals
and just get I mean, she's already debased herself. So yeah,
I can't. I can't you get a red Man for one?
Fifties shout out to REGGI. No, but one of my

(01:04:28):
favorite rappers. Oh should I might do that? Get this cameo.
I'd be lying if I said I already didn't get
myself one. This is what I also love. Did you
watch Cheer? You remember Jerry if you want Jerry Harris
what's it called? When they like would be so dope?

(01:04:53):
And then we remember Mark McGrath when he famously broke
up with that one dude that is is the So
the title of that book is cocaine in book title form.
There's a clip of Mark McGrath on Wendy Williams that
is cocaine in like old amazing. It's hard to find

(01:05:15):
though they had it taken down. Damn he is flying
Gary Busey three. Yeah. Hey, the market, the market determines
the price, you know. Yeah, he's not out here putting
it out there at three fifty without getting some buyers.
I mean yeah, and you get Randy Jackson from American
Anod for two fifty to come to your house in person,

(01:05:37):
yeah and say whatever you want. Or Brian Scalabrini for bucks, wow,
Brian Scalabrini. Oh, Andy King from Fire Festival Fame, Damn
Korey Lewandowski's only fifty five bucks to me? Yeah, I
mean whatever, you know. The Andy King's like the time,

(01:06:00):
the time that he's spending just reading like terrible joke
after a terrible joke about him sucking somebody's dick for water,
like over and over, and it's like a black mirror.
That is like a black mirror where your job is
to embarrass yourself into your phone for it's to come back.
It is like that has got very dark because you

(01:06:22):
can think about it right to This is sort of
like the endgame of celebrity where at a certain point
the the markets have done what they have done with you.
They they're done with you. You're never no longer present value,
and you're just like, well, I'd love to be able
to make passive money as best as I can. So
now I'm literally just saying I'll say whatever you want

(01:06:43):
for a couple of bucks, so you can laugh at me. Yeah,
that's like, can't get hard and then they don't they kick. Yeah,
that whole c it was a gay bashing. Yeah, that

(01:07:05):
whole the whole sequence is so dark. Hey shout out
to the sand because the character like is then a
gay basher, but he's clearly into it when it's happening, right.
But yeah, hey we can get Tim Hardaway Senior for
fifty bucks. I feel like Tim Hardaway can get a
little more than some of these. I feel like they
really saw themselves short. Yeah. A couple people I am like,
hold on, no, you know Sean Kingston's three hundred dollars. Okay,

(01:07:28):
Well yeah that's interesting. This could I would. I would
just listen to a podcast. There's just people going to
just an over under on cameo prissly ship Kareem abdul
Jabbar five hundred dollars. See that's somebody who knows they're Yeah,
that's a legend. That is like a timeless icon. My
dad would die if I got like a cameo from

(01:07:49):
him from like a happy birthday, Dad. Here's the guy
who scored the most points in the history of NBA basketball. Gosh,
