Speaker 1 (00:03):
Oh man.

I just on Saturday though, I left the geist child
with Grandma and watch for a little bit, and I
was like, I'm gonna do so much.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I think this.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Happens to every fucking parent or they're like, dude, I'm
gonna do so much fucking shit.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm gonna like, I'm going to get around to these
things I had to do.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I ate a sandwich, yeah, And I then first of all,
on that one, bro, I had a sandwich to that stuff. Oh,
I got to the sandwich, and then I was like
I had all this other stuff to do. And then
as I was digesting, my body's like.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Why don't you go ahead and take a nap?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, man, you know what, don't set a fucking timer,
you know what I mean, because usually you got to
be like, all.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Right, bro, I can give myself like four to five.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, this time, freestyled it when fucking ninety five minutes
or something. Freestyle napping, freestyle napping, dude, just fucking wherever you're.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
At, just close your eyes and let it go. Baby,
You're body in kind of a funky position to see
what you can do, how you can wake up Dismount.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I did the thing where I was basically on my
right arm and I knew ten minutes and like, you're
gonna fucking wake up, fucked.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, And then I start feeling this around the end
of March.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Exactly, and then I had to just kind of commit
to full body lay down and that was honestly the greatest.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, but but that was so fucking beautiful. Oh my god.
The weekends are fucking yeah. I'm like half coma on
the weekends. I just like, can't I don't know. Yeah.
I take my son to this thing where I have
like free time, but I'm so tired the whole time.
I have this to do list and I get like
(01:46):
one item in and I'm like, I'm just gonna have
to watch this Chris Fleming stand up special because everything
else too ambitious for me at this point, right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, you gotta know your you gotta know your limits. Man,
you gotta know your limits. That's why for me, I
just don't enough parent. I'm cut off for this parenting thing.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, I think let's back out. When I back out,
and my back out like Netflix.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I tried to look for the tag on my kid
to see when I could return by but yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That doesn't dude, The fire department will take it any time.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Have you seen there's like a an uptick of people
surrendering their fire stations, which, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Man, it's desperate times. Fucking not enough money for the people,
for the number of people, I mean, that's a factor.
What do you think it is?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Why would you want to watch something you love grow
up in this Mmmm?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I don't think people are that conscientious. I think those
people have don't have children to begin with. I feel
like the people that I know who have a lot
of kids aren't even thinking about that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And then they're like, oh, I mean you would have
to be, wouldn't you. Hmmm, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Seems like a prerequisite to have a bunch of kids
is to not think about the world around you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
No, no, but I'm saying I think.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But then to then be like, oh God, what have
I done bringing a child into this world? I don't
think they have that secondary realization. It's probably more like, oh, bro,
I can't afford this shit.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Were they're just really big fans of the fire department, Like,
these guys are gonna kill it.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Bro, You're gonna make a sick ass firefighter. I'm trying
to get you started early, Bro, that'd be crazy. That's
how you get firefighters, maybe in that box, and then
twenty years later the greatest firefighters. They're like, Bro, my
father and mother is the fire department. That's right, that's
fucking grim.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That pole right there, you see that pole, that's my
father or my mother. And that ringing bell that's my mother,
she's ringing the dinner bell. And that pool table that's
my brother. I feel like they all got pull tables, right.
You gotta do something to pass the time.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh, yeah, you gotta have you gotta have weights. You
gotta have like a weight bench. Yeah, dumbbells, an industrial kitchen,
Confederate flag. Not all the time, not all the time.
I've been to some places where they don't have it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Not exclusive, but you are provided with it at the
when you open a fire department, like you're gonna want
the Oh you don't. Oh, okay, that's good, that's good.
That's hates all conds. We love that. That's really that's neat.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Why I reraps better than the police?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
of Guys. Yeah. This is a production of iHeart Radio.
That's a podcast where we take a deep dive into
america shared consciousness. And this is the episode where we
tell you what was trending over the weekend. Not much,
not much happened over the weekend, enough said Miles. Great,
(05:02):
great seeing you. Uh when you wrap it up there,
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of tired to a
nap earlier. I'm ready to take another nap every time
freestyle napping. Yeah, we talked her.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, there doesn't seem to be anything going on.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm just seeing just checked that. Oh no, what happened.
Oh no, it really was. I just found out what
a bully stick is. Oh god, oh boy, Oh you
just found out. Yeah, okay, all right, we're gonna we're
gonna get to the news that happened over the weekend. Yeah,
you'll get to war, the illegal war being waged by
(05:41):
the Trump administration. Yeah yeah, yeah. But first we do
like to check in with each other by asking one another,
what is something, Miles, do you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
We underrated? God, this is this has nothing to do
with the news or anything. So this will be nice
water intake. Underrated, as some of you know, I began
a fitness journey, and my god, the first days are
so sore, and I was.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Like, I have to be drinking, Like I'm pretty sure
I'm drinking enough water. I'm not drinking anywhere close to
enough water to like actually help my body. So I
got to say, it's not just water intake. It's that
I think anyone who's you know, is in tune with
their bodies due to fitness or disability. You understand what
(06:35):
the connection is between what you take in and what
that does to your body.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And nothing has for.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Whatever reason, I think in middle age, because I've been
suffering from like the pain after working out, that I
realized how important it is that I can't just shake
shit off that I need to do the basics that
water intake is. I thought I just needed like make
you know, they say, I think seventy ounces or something
like a thing or.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Something like that. Miles. Every morning I fill up a
giant two liter milk carton. Milk carton. Why does that
be carton? I don't know, I don't know. It's just yeah,
that's the biggest, most dramatic thing that I can lug
around with me and just like shake it at people
(07:21):
and be like a lot of work left to do, right.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Jesus, I remember people doing that shit. But I think no,
just from doing just from my one week and again,
a lot of people have had all kinds of wonderful messages.
I feel them like you should run, You should run too.
I've got a lot of people, a lot of people
encouraging me to join the run club. Let's let's let's
(07:44):
we'll get there. Let me shake the cobwebs off my
body slowly before I start. You catch me out here
doing long distance running. But yeah, I just have to say,
I I think I have a new appreciation for really
listening to my body and then going beyond what I
think is like a normal amount of.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Water or something.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And I have to like just keep keep drinking water.
It actually keeps going. And I think, honestly, I credit
a lot of the Kevin sorbo improv bit to me
drinking water that day, A lot of water. Yeah, that
brought something out. It worked up a thirst I did.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I did. There's we used to during the pandemic. We
had a water bottle that was very encouraging. It's a
good morning with that nice day. Remember your goal, which
is just to drink on this whole thing of water.
Halfway through, come on next, one drink more. It would
(08:40):
say that I never had to tell myself a drink
more and then never say never almost there, you made it,
And it's like a different levels. I don't know. I'm
looking at this is one gallon. Okay, this is a
one gallon sports leak proof motivational thing. I think they
should have one that's like are Lee or are the
(09:04):
Ermie is Harley Ermie at the beginning, at the beginning
of Full Metal Jacket. It's like not giving you positive feedback.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, oh hell yeah. I've haulnd me private pile.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The whole time. I've always I've heard like different things,
and I guess I guess it's the sort of thing
that I should look into. But I've heard people be like,
just drink water when you're thirsty, you'll be fine, and
then other people who are like, drink water until you
feel like you are being waterboarded. No, I'm not there.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'm in between. I'm kind of like listening to my body.
But I also know I tend to like be able
to run off of less water like, and I'm just like,
what if I gave myself a little bit more of
that good thing called water. Yeah, and I want you
to drink water until it's a continuous cycle of water
going into your mouth and coming here, yeah, being pissed out,
(09:59):
and it needs to be completely clear, and it just
never stops.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You're drinking, you're pissing at all times. Like can do
circular breathing. Yeah, just hold like what yeah, drinking and pissing. Yeah,
I want you to go uh you know baby water
fountain mode, you know baby sculpture water fountain mode. Oh yeah, yeah,
(10:25):
stopping it's not stopping. That's not going anywhere. Friend. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So again, like I said, I'm not really I'm not
preaching a specific amount. My thing is whatever I thought personally,
whatever I thought was enough water. I'm going just a
little bit more and I've I've found that that's been good.
And I'm not drinking when I'm like not like I'm
like forcing it down. It's just like, yeah, after you
just did this thing, like, let's let's have a few
(10:50):
SIPs of water.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I doing a lot more during the recordings. Now people
might notice, but I I love holding up one finger
to somebody who's trying to talk to me while drinking
water and then just not stop and then until they
until they wander off. Okay, you were saying, all right,
good underrated, my underrated. Also unrelated to the news events,
(11:18):
It is just how on the nose the name bully
stick is there. We have a puppy in the house.
I saw the content.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Dude, Oh my god, I saw some training trying to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh yeah, it looks like that dog's running things. Man,
he's getting a lot of attention in the house. Yeah, yeah,
he's doing great or we're very proud of him. But
there's uh, you know, a true toy for puppies called
a bully stick. And as we were playing with our puppy,
(11:50):
my wife was like, you know, these are bull penises
and I was like, well, surely just take the word
what god I was trying to do lady in the
tramp thing.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I thought I could tie it in a knot and
they're way harder.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Wait are those those are for puppies too? Aren't they soup?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I mean, I've I gave it to my dog and
he's like, bro, shit is too tough? Like he's I
guess it depends on my dog is not really a
chere or so he gives a lot of bites. He's
a bity little gull.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah, keep him hardly puppy teeth too, yeah, little
little needle teeth he's doing. He's doing needle point all
over my hands. And if he's with me, going at
my nips, Oh yeah, he's he sees the nips and
he's like, that's I know what those areas. I have
long dog mama nipples, nine of them too. But I
(12:52):
was like, surely they didn't just take the word bulls dick.
I uh no, bulliesed dick. Actually move the ass over.
It's cleaner, it's a straight.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Up it's fish sticks all over again.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, it really is stretched and dried. Bull pizzle. Great,
great word that I didn't know but before this weekend,
which is bullpit penises, and they are they're just churning
them out, you know, which is fucked up.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I mean I knew I knew that term because uh
Semi says it in coming to America.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
He says, is like you diseased rhinoceros pizzle. I remember
that's and I was like, yo, what the fuck? And
then what I meant poop? That's what you would think, dude, that's.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
What he said you to think, man, that's what he
said it right to fucking Sam Jackson.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
When he was trying to stick up that fucking that's right,
you know what I mean anyway, But yeah, real silling
a green moment for men. And I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You looked it up, like, did you like there was
there like information that they're like, yeah, they're just kind
of like just called bully stick man.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know the original derivation
of the word, but it does seem like they're hiding
their Uh, they gave us all the clues, mister policeman.
You know, they're like, oh, you didn't know, but but
how could you not. We we gave you everything you
needed to figure it out. Oh you know what.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It turns out that they used to call bulls bullies.
Oh so and then so then so it wasn't even
like dick. They're just like they was just like, it's
a bull stick, it's a bully bull stick. Also does
that it's a bulls dick.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's a bunch of bullstick die hard on TNT. But
it did make me wonder if slim gems are tumba sticks.
You know. Oh, Wow, Like, wouldn't that be? Yeah, the
equivalent for it's gotta be. It's got to be. It's
got to be. You tell me it's not. Come on now,
(14:57):
who's nith h? What is something you think is overrated? Oh? Man,
making plans when you're drunk, it ain't. It ain't happening.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I just had a moment, and this is something I
feel like, this is this is well trodden territory on
this show because we've talked about this before. But like
I had I had this happen with like a friend
I hadn't seen in a minute hot them. They had
a few like in a way that was like I
was like, oh shit, But I was like, oh yeah,
they were having a good time, like at a bar
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, having a good time. And they're like,
oh yeah, man, we've got to get together.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And then they're like, yeah it was Saturday, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's write that down. Let's okay for sure, for sure,
for sure. And I was like, yeah, dude, I'll have
some time. And then between me taking just a wild
nap in the middle of the day and this person
being drunk didn't happen. Didn't happen, and then afterwards I
was like, yo, I'm like you good, and they're like,
(15:54):
oh shit, my bad, my bad, totally forgot about this,
and I was like, all good man. I know firsthand
because I was a serial inviting people to brunch the
next day drunk person. Oh yeah, that night, I was like,
we're gonna kick it tomorrow, dude, tomorrow this ever stop?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
You like, do you like breakfast? Let's go?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And that's all because I was hungry and drunk at
the time that I go, do you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Want breakfast tomorrow? This? She got breakfast.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, we should get bask tomorrow and I'll see there almosthough.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, I was to meet you there, not by no,
see you in a bit, That's what That's what we're
saying right now, seeing a bit.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Dude, Actually you are. Can I go to your Cago car,
go to your face? It'd be easier today, hang out tomorrow.
If I just crash at your at your spot, it'll
be just as fun as this.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, exactly. But anyway's energy.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I think it's always important, even in the merriment of
seeing someone in the wild, if there's a little bit
of alcohol involved, it's very difficult to make your plans
for the next day or two days whenever that is projected.
So I just want to just want people to be
on the lookout for that.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Is there legal like standing where they're just like, this
contract was entered into wild drunk and therefore does not
because I feel like that, Yeah, there should all there
should be like a social contract version of that where
it's just like, no, we said that when we were drunk.
What are you talking about? There's no way. Yeah, I
(17:23):
don't know. Let me see.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Can you sign a contract wild intoxicated?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I know that thing.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You may be able to do it if you can
prove you lacked the capacity at the time. Yeah, because
that would be easy to do it, my honor. I
was drunk, bro, But the judge is just like, well, actually,
when you're drunk, the truth comes out. So everybody knows that, dude, Dude,
everybody knows that. Everybody knows that, did you have liquor
before beer? Or beer before liquor because liquor it's Supreme
(17:51):
Court precedent.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Never sicker. Dude, you're gonna have to get a judge
judge beer in here, judge boofing the beers.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, I don't know if Yeah, I don't. It's probably
not a good defense to use to get out of
a contract. I definitely couldn't get out of a Verizon
Mobile contract.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I was drunk. I bet, I bet there's been more
than one marriage and old on that basis, So why
not why not brunch plans an old you know?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, that's true, that's true, I guess. At the same time, Yeah,
that person wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Like you knew I was drunk.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Why the fuck would you make plans with me?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Because I was in such a friend I wasn't. That's
how I was kind of like the whole time. I'm like,
I remember making plans like this, right, it might not happen,
And I think that's why I kind of gave myself
the free license to kind of just have a have
a long nap that day.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I was always just as as ah like shy and
withdrawn as I was sober. I was that, you know,
it was just like inverted versions of myself, right right?
So yeah, real ambitious, real outgoing, real, we're gonna we're
gonna be best friends forever?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And then should we enter this three on three tournament tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Because I know I remember how good you are, dude.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yes, okay, we should run the houses next to each other.
We're gonna do it. Bro, where do you live?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I'll get an apartment there, Dude, I don't care. I
feel like we could kick it. They have a basketball
court there too. Oh Bro, I'm there, I'm there all right.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
My overrated is commercials were celebrity slirt with AI assistance.
That just seems to be like an entire genre of
ads for like Alexa. You know, all the different ones,
the one like Pete Davidson has, the one where he's, yeah,
that's like a meet cute where there he's just like talking,
(19:49):
like making plans absently with Alexi's like should I change
my name? Alexa? And they're just like having this like
flirty conversation and then as he leaves, he is like
love you too. And it's just like.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
That's kinda suck for Pete Davidson because like, yeah, he
seems cynical enough as a person to be like, man,
what's this dumb fucking ship? But also I don't know
what is financial crazy? Well, yeah, were you kind of like, Bro,
i I'm not like just based off of my public persona,
they're gonna give me I'd assume millions of dollars to
(20:25):
flirt with a robot, and that's and then I can
normalize this for people, and that's my life.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
They probably have him on a list of cynical people
that they're like, well, if we can get these people
to act like they are not afraid of Alexa, then
we're like that that's extra valuable to us, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
The Saudis Comedy Festival basically because it's funny, like the one.
The more I look at that, like it's brilliant comedy
washing for your for your nation state, because so many
of the people who took the money to perfer form
there end up running defense for your country and having
to explain why.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
They take the money, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, And like some people like they're a most people
are like, well, you know there's this and this actually
it's pretty developed place, and actually we're America is actually
not that great, and it's like wow, see, like this
is this is the sort of secondary wave of normalization
you get from then compromising somebody from taking the money
that then they go, well, now I'm actually kind of
an unofficial defender.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah. Chappelle Special was like had a twenty five on
that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, and it's like he's like, yeah, well you know, uh,
like Israel killed a bunch of journalists. It's like, bro,
the point is about you performing in Saudi Arabia, and
I get that, but that's a deflect.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You're just do you should perform in Israel either?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, Like that's a good and that's a good point
for you not to perform there too. Now what are
you saying? Yeah, it's a very very interesting and very
interesting time. There's one Chris ems with the super Bowl ad.
He's like stating his fears to Alexa and she's like, uh, Chris,
you're being a little crazy again. Yeah, Like they're old friends.
It's just like, I don't know, man, fuck off guys,
(22:09):
Like if these fuckers like take all our jobs, you
want to be on the record being like, look, I
know they're doing bad stuff, but they're my friend, right,
you know, And if we stop this AI take over,
a lot of my friends like Alexa are going to
get hurt. So like the president with the Epstein folk unreal. Yeah,
(22:33):
there's did you There's this clip I saw of this
woman with her AI boyfriend and it was wild because
it's also the way they speak back are just not
it's not human at all, Like nothing's really talking back
like like oh shit, you know, it's like, oh, yes,
(22:55):
of course I think you are beautiful today more like
than any other day I have seen you. Now, why
don't you take off your clothes and we can now
get freaky no, yes, wow, yes yeah. It's just a
what shit you want to hear? Generator? Is what are
they exactly? Because they're all based off of just mirroring
training training. I also need the US mainstream media. Overrated
(23:20):
is the job the US mainstream media is doing with
epsteam files. So just I'm going to keep saying it,
but like, where are you guys with a digestible infographic?
Ah see, that would help put people put the pieces
together on the structure of this influence network.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So No, Gabriis and Ben Rogers on their podcast Action Boys,
we're talking about doing a show, a Hollywood Squares show
with where everybody just plays different epsteam files like people
from the epsteam Files. It was like that, that's a
good idea. People need to be thinking creatively about how
(23:57):
to present this information. Give me, give me a New
York Magazine approval matrix that's all disapproved. It's like high
browed a low brow like and like maybe one of
the one of the matrixes is like what the amount
of times they're mentioned or you know, like how implicated
or something, But like give me the chart. You know,
(24:19):
it's just not they're not doing it. It's kind of frustrating.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's just like we
say it every week. It's like, well, you know, they're
paid not to do a good job covering shit basically.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Also, like the number of pages, like everybody's like, you know,
it's three point five million pages. Like Al Jazeera did
a created a pretty good chart showing what that number
of pages is compared to like the Panama papers and
the Pandora papers and all those, and like it's those
were like Panama Papers is like eleven point five million pages.
(24:54):
Pandora papers were like eleven point nine. Like people, people
can burn through a lot of pages and like get
the gist of a thing, and you know there can
be consequences.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, yeah, but there's a real specific group of people
who are doing everything that. Like that less Wexner interview
that there was like the clip of where his lawyer
was like yelling at him for answering the questions. I
was like, Jesus, He's like if you He's like, I'm
gonna fucking kill you if you make if you answer
(25:26):
another question with more than five words wow, and like less.
Wexner's like okay, And I'm like these fucking people they
still boys, but they're like but they're moving like they're like, yeah,
check me boot, And I think that's the like whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
The consequences are a legend they heard tell of, like
from rich people of old, but they they feel like
it does. They're not a real thing. They're like dragons
to them.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And in practical purposes, they've not encountered them, or at
least not ones they can use money to side st.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
come back and talk about the US and Israel teaming
up to illegally wage war on Iran. We'll be right back,
and we're back. And I do think there are some
(26:20):
details of this war that are being left out, and
one of them is that the US and Iranian negotiators
last week met in Geneva for quote, the most serious
and constructive talks in years. There are talks of quote
(26:41):
a deal that would eliminate Iranian stockpiles of highly imriched
geranium down, blend existing material inside Iran, and allow full
verification of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is, you
know what they've been asking for all along. It was like, yeah, okay,
we're the thing that you claim to want from Iran
(27:04):
is happening. The mediator, this article says, in an unusually
public move for a mediator, he appeared on CBS to
outline just how far the talks had progressed. It was
like that, basically, like is going well? Right, Like, yeah,
I think you could say it's going well. I think
(27:24):
I think they might guess what's going on there there.
It's going so well. So of course Trump decided to
team up with Israel and bomb Iran. The Department of
War decided to pair evil with healthy dose of cringe,
dubbing the mission Operation Epic Fury, I figure named by
(27:48):
someone who calls people a good sir. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
A lot of people were posting a thing of like
it like every the true everyone really is twelve. Yeah,
Like it was just one Operation Epic Fury. Oh shit,
getting dragged into a war that I remember last summer
when they're like all of the Iran's nuclear capabilities have
been obliterated last summer.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, And they had these talks and then you're having these.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Talks, and then they had these talks where Iran was like, yeah,
we don't have ship, like, let's just move it along.
And they were like, would you say, I don't know,
I don't know. I don't know how they even justified it,
but it doesn't seem like they well, I think the
need to justify it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Well, I think a lot of it too was And
I remember I wrote I wrote a piece that I
think you guys covered when when I was out about,
you know, the how we were getting pulled into this
because net and Yahoo also wanted to put a deal
in front of them that was untenable. Yeah yeah, And
so I think that's where that's the other point is
that like it was quote unquote negotiations, but it was
(28:54):
meant to reach some kind of bottleneck, you know, sort
of dead end where then they could be like, well,
I guess I guess this is I guess how bets
are off now and now we're gonna have to go
to war and now we're gonna have to just launch
all these attacks because now the attacks are spilled into
Lebanon also, so it's not just Iran anymore. It's a
Lebanon that's also being attacked at the behest of Benjamin
(29:19):
Netan Yahoo and you know Trump and his hawkish friends
that are more than willing to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's do this, let's do this.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
One's like a world war. Yeah, and Or thinks he's.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Or thinks he or thinks this is going to be
like a clean pinprick operation. Everything's done, no further questions,
Give me my fucking peace prize, right because the people
that are actually the negotiators are Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff.
They fucking have no idea about anything regarding diplomacy or
(29:53):
how like really understand the geopolitical like relationships in that
region well enough beyond no, this is what we want
to do, and then having no consideration for what's happening
because this attack is actually I was I was listening
to an interview with Professor Elizabeth Saunders, who is the
(30:15):
director of the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace at Columbia,
and was saying, like, obviously, like the lack of congressional
approval is jarring. But what's scarier is that this is
like a new position that you're putting the Iranian government
in now, where it's like now it's existential now, like
cause what's the off ramp here? Like is there an
(30:37):
off ramp? Because if there is it, then now you're
putting this group of people in the position to say, well,
if there's no off ramp and we're in a corner now,
the way we respond is going to be like on anything,
unlike anything we've seen in the context of prior to
quote unquote negotiations. But this has been a war with
Iran for decades at this point, although it's mostly been cold.
I think that's that's the jarring part about all this too,
(30:59):
that American media like really just sort of ignores mostly
being like they bombed this, this, this, and this, this.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Guy's dead listings that hello il uh many and yeah
the pretty quickly too, so yeah and there goes that
and what because what we do know is that you bombed.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
A fucking school where hundreds of children died, yes, and
it like, huh, what's how is this a success? Like
what's going on on Sunday? Two hundred people have been
killed in Iran, uh one hundred and sixty five of
them at an elementary girls school. Yeah, yeah, really good.
(31:43):
I mean like again, and they think that this is
going to be good for the reception of the liberators
when you've killed a bunch of innocent children, right, this
is I don't know this. It doesn't make sense in
terms of how humans react to things like this, because
it seems like the calculus was sort of like, well,
you know, with like the uprisings there, this is going
(32:06):
to help. But I think the real the really the
most dangerous part of this is it's really not clear
what what the endgame is here at all.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Just a bomb indiscriminately. Yeah, that usually works. Just come
and drop bombs and uh, the rest will figure itself out.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
There's no Because on the news too, you have people
who come on and be like this is a good thing.
This is great that they're they've decapitated the regime and
you know, are are are celebrating that.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Shit, where is it going with this thing you just said? Yeah,
like the people who say that, like, you just vombit
and the rest figures itself out.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Because the people who are like, no, this is good,
you've decapitated the regime and now like a new thing
can come into it. All it takes is every person
with them just a very superficial knowledge of recent history
to be like, it's never fucking worked ever, It's never
fucking worked.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
It's only led to the violence spilling over in many
incalculable ways. But again they still think in.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Chaos and violence for generations to come. Yeah, And I
mean there's also this element of it where it's it's
immediately unpopular, like we've gone, we've skipped ahead of the
because the main comparison point that I think a lot
of people have is the war in Iraq, which was
(33:30):
waged on false pretenses, but was initially popular because the
Bush administration was conspiring with a lot of mainstream media
outlets that people trusted to be like, we need to
do this, and everybody was mad about analogy. Yeah, so
they fired up the consent factory, got people on board.
(33:50):
I think it was like seventy two percent of Americans
were actually in favor of his invasion of Iraq. In
this case, it's like a quarter, like twenty five percent. Yeah,
people are in favor of this.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
But seventy two percent of Epstein files. People agree that
this is a good war. That it just depends on
who your audience is, because again you're like, no, everyone.
So many people, especially like the podcast Asshole Dudes, who
are like, yo.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It just goes be good. They were all be like,
he doesn't want any more wars. Everyone's like, he doesn't
want any more wars. He's doing this. He's doing this
war because he doesn't want any more wars.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah, okay, And then but like look at Project twenty
twenty five. They talk about this shit in there. They
have to come at iron.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, Okay. This just it feels like this late stage
hypernormalization thing where the actions that actually have an impact
on the world, like the use of all the might
and power and wealth that were created by people are
all being harnessed by people who are completely cut off
from any consequence. Yes for real. And so now it's
(35:03):
just like we saw it with the economy during COVID,
where they were like, yeah, no, we can just raise
prices on people and like they'll feel the impact, but
like our stock prices are not going to be impacted,
Like our stock prices are going to go up as
the economy like puts people into pain, and now in
this case, they're like, well, we don't need to worry
about public opinion. We don't even need to create the
(35:26):
lie that their weapons of mass destruction. We just go
go forward with this and then like force the machinations
of power to like keep you know, keep us in power.
I mean, it really really feels like they're just like, yeah,
the we're not having an election because they're doing wildly
unpopular things.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
The other part that I think is so deeply distressing
is again just the pattern of like these fuck this,
like these little wars of empire were continuing to wage.
Is that the people that are going to be affected
by this, because I think again American people are so
insulated because there hasn't been like a like a full
(36:05):
blown military attack on US soil, that there's this idea
that it's like, oh, okay, well there's just a war
over there, dude. The amount of chaos this is already
causing everywhere, and like panic in other countries too, because
there's retaliatory strikes happening in other Gulf states too. It's
fucking it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Think that's that bit goes really underappreciated especially for Americans
viewing it, they're like, I don't know, look look at
that building blow up, and it's like, yeah, there's people
in there.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Kay.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, And this is all being this is all being
waged for what to what end? Because again, we're not
buying the reason that this was supposed to make us
safe when already the the US's own intelligence, like.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
They're not close to getting a fucking their own intelligence.
They're like, this party, this administration's own intelligence was like
they're ten years away before before we did these talks
where they were like and we'll dismantle it to like
put ourselves further and further away. Somebody who is buying
it is the mainstream Democratic Party because Chuck Schumer and
(37:13):
Kim Kin like that. First of all, Tim Kaine just
like keeps being like I was going to have a
thing voting to say he's not allowed to do this
next week. It's like he's already not allowed to do this.
What the fuck are you talking about? And then Schumer
and fucking Newsome also like issued these statements expressing annoyance
(37:36):
that Congress wasn't properly notified, but also just buying the
premise of the attack being like Iron must never obtain
a nuclear weapon? What game are you playing? Like that
they weren't going.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
To they're well they are imperialists still, and also they're triangulating.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Also, you know, because I always.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Work, it always works, always works, where I saw democratic
strategies be like, well, you know, the one thing is
like obviously the Democrats are against this coming out, but
the the line they're trying to walk is like they
don't want to seem like they're like for Iran, right,
Like what it's not that fucking simple by saying like
this is bad, Like oh, so you're for Iran. I
(38:18):
mean like I'm for innocent people not being killed. Neither
of the main thing. Yeah over here, Yeah, this looks
like a big crazy This looks like a big fuck
up in that very narrow department that I'm looking at.
But yeah, the I mean like it's it's the constant.
There's always constant sort of like, well, it's bad, but
also like we get it because at the end of
(38:39):
the day, we're still kind of the same party, you know,
like we're we're fine blowing shit up in the Middle
East because it doesn't affect us. And also it makes
the lines go up for certain contractors that help out,
so you know, yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Why not? It's so much of the US economy is
driven by this more machine that needs to be taken
out and exercised every once in a while, like a
like a dog running in a fucking dog park, like
just you know, got to take them out and kill
kill a bunch of venison people so that we can
continue to justify the massive amounts of money that are
being spent on fucking war machines. It is interesting to
(39:16):
see China be like, so like, this is kind of
what they do, just this is what America has been
doing forever. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I don't know if you've you guys noticed, you probably shouldn't.
They seem like real bad faith negotiators. Just every time
they want to negotiate, I would maybe run for your life.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
And also if you're one of these vassal states that's
counting on the US for protection, liquid it just costs you, baby, yeah,
because now they're attacking you.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
So I mean, yeah, it's sort of lays bare all.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
The imperial aims, the imperialistic aims of the of the nation,
and also that it's it's it's it's a bad place
you're like, now it's like, I don't know, like the
same country that's like not doing anything about like these
like serial sexual abusers.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
And then also like they're killing children now too. God.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I mean, on paper, this looks like the worst shit
I've ever seen. Some of the worst ship I've ever seen.
I don't know, but that's well.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Good, look guys, just in terms of like how because
the other thing we've talked about is just the immense
and incompetence of this administration. Uh, the regime change project
not going great.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Trump confirmed on Sunday their top candidates to take over
Iran were all killed because the attack was so successful.
So that doesn't actually sound that successful, uh, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, that's that's I mean again, it's it almost felt like, well,
we had a plan, there were some other people that
we felt could fall into leadership positions. They're all killed too,
So yeah, because then it's like so then what so
now right?
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Yeah, even though it was all just gonna fucking work
like that. The crazy thing is that these dudes they
act like this is like they're they're they're like they're
watching a Mafia movie. Yeah, like they're doing gangster ship,
you know what I mean, where it's like, I don't know, dude,
just humped on their block, clap up their leader, and
then they're not going to know what the fuck's going
(41:26):
on and it's all good after that, dude, you know,
we'll just come home, we'll come home and whatever. And
it's like it feels like the thought hasn't gone beyond
like I'm gonna kill that guy and then what yeah, yeah,
and then what.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
That's about it? It's just action movie logic. Yeah, they
have like bad guys that they want to kill and
brag about killing. Three US fighter jets were shot down
by friendly fire. Pretty cool, pretty cool nailing it.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
That's fucking that's just right there, just from that friendly fire,
because I think the Kuwaiti's shut shot down the three
of these fighter jets, each of those like they apparently
cost like ninety million dollars. Just fucking crazy. It's like
there you go, quarter billion dollars poof.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yeah. I mean, the the US has been incompetent for
a while in this specific respect, but like the messiness
of this administration just adds a volatility that I don't
think the world has ever faced, and that no people
are wrapping their minds around.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
I think it's yea, yeah, they've purged the Pentagon of
people who like would be like, are you fucking out
of your mind?
Speaker 1 (42:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Yeah, like, no fucking way, dude. This is gonna get
so many people killed and already fours as of this recording,
four service members already dead. Yeah, with Trump being like
and there will be more, and there will be more
because it's war.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
He had a press conference earlier trying to like explain
what the fuck was going on. He started off with
in we didn't start this war, President Trump, we are
finishing it. I mean, yeah, how far back are we
going to say, like when it was started? Because this
feels like this very much is something you started. Then
he said this quote, this is not a so called
(43:12):
regime change war, but the regime sure did change and
the world is better off for it. Again, that's so
overly simplified to the point that it's it's criminal.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
It was a target assassination of the leader.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
And you've been saying regime I think because that for them,
they're just like, well, don't say regime change, because then
they think of the Second Iraq War.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Don't say that, but do the thing.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Just don't call it that, and then people will be like,
but you're taking out or you're pretty calculatedly trying to
go after the organizational structure.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Of this regime, I guess.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
And then you also said, hey, don't worry, it's not
gonna be an endless war, but then also couldn't give
an an answer as to when it would stop, right, qulle,
this is not Iraq, this is not endless. I was
there for both. Our generation knows better, and so does this.
President Trump said it would be like four to five weeks,
(44:14):
and you're like, that's based off of this's just based
off of you saying that, like awful, what because the
generals in that same press conference are like, this is
a complex mission and it's going to take some time.
But then in that same interview I was talking about
with the professor Elizabeth Saunders, she was saying that like
even the like she's not even sure that the military
(44:36):
has the munitions to carry out like fourteen straight days
of attacks, right, So there's even like there are limits
in terms of like the like material.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Limits to what can be done here. So it's a
very again, h they're having trouble with the toilets on
the aircraft carriers last week, like they this is like again,
like yes, the us is attempts at imperial war have
not gone well in the past. I just I think
we're in a new territory where like this is being
(45:08):
waged by a group that can't run an office in
the friendly territory of like a captured US media without
like tripping over their dicks, and like you know, turning
on each other, and you know, like they everything they
do is incredibly incompetent, and now they're they've just upped
(45:31):
the level of difficulty on themselves. And are it seemed
to be like it's gonna be a cakewalk. Yeah, I
mean it's.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Yeah, I mean this is this is like textbook like uh,
you know, empirical collapse shit, you know, like you're dying empire.
It always goes out with a wet part trying to
fight a bunch of wars way out like nowhere close
to you because you're trying to prove you still got
it right and we don't. And like the one chance
(46:03):
I think American people have is to like try and
reorient how how revenues are spent in this country, so
it's not just being shot down in Kuwait, because fucking
Pete Hegsath.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
Is like, I don't know, man, did the aid? Did
you tell them to use the AI for that one
or no? Rub some AI on itr AI.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
And then the other thing that's again even more terrifying,
is that it's not going to be an endless war.
He was asked directly. He's like, okay, so there's the
US planning to put boots on the ground. And then
his this is what he said, We're not going to
We're not going to go into the exercise of what
we will do or will not do. I think it's
one of those fallacies for a long time that this
(46:44):
Department or presidents or others should tell the American people
and our enemies, by the way, here's exactly how long
we'll go, here's exactly how far we'll go. We will
go as far as we need to go to advance
American interests. Why in the world would we tell you,
the enemy or anybody, oh, what we will or will
not do in pursuit of an objective. That should fucking
(47:04):
terrify every like, I mean, oh my god, now, I
just you should be terrified for all the poor souls
that are currently enlisted and the people that are gonna
be on the other end of this bullshit.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Because it's true.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Like saying that is being like, well, yeah, if I
say yes, the optics are gonna be even more fucked
right now.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Yeah, I'm gonna be anyway, I'm.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Gonna be coy and be like, why would I ever
fucking do that, dude, this bad op sect telling you
what I would do?
Speaker 1 (47:31):
But yeah, we are.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
I just can't say that right now because it's so unpopular.
If I follow that up with now we are putting
your children and your family members at risk, there might
be too much of an objection. And like, I don't
want to be actively booed on the street, just like
I want to be booed in places, you know.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Like I can take it.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
If I go to San Francisco, I get a couple
thumbs downs. Fine, fine, fine, but oh man, you can
handle that other worldse anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
No, that's bad. All right, Let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back.
And one very important consequence of the attacks on Iran
(48:17):
Israel is using it as a pretext to close border
crossings into Gaza. They say it's supposedly to facilitate several
necessary security adjustments, but this has caused the price of
food and basic necessities to skyrocket while also cutting off
urgently needed aid. And this is just kind of how
(48:38):
they have operated. This is kind of standard operating procedure.
Where when Israel and the US bombed Iran last June,
border crossings into Gaza were closed. You know, they cut
off the most direct route for aid to reach hundreds
of thousands of people at risk of famine. And they
also put the West Bank under lockdown. So the the
(49:02):
director of the Romalia based Palestinian Forum for Israeli Studies said,
everything is an opportunity for Israel. This government will seize
any moment further advance its ideological agenda, especially in the
West Bank. So yeah, they're just they're like, oh, ship,
look what you made us do. Essentially, yeah, and this
(49:24):
was the this was.
Speaker 2 (49:24):
The fucking fear too, and that other and that same
thing about like what the what's the point of this
fucking war? Right, this is this is really the main benefit.
The person who benefits most is Benjamin Enya and the
other like Zionists in the government who because again also
this is there like a lot of analysts are like, well,
(49:45):
if they have a war, they're going to fucking make
an even bigger play for the West Bank.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
And yeah, fully ethnically.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Like that's they're like, this is this is this just
gives the perfect pretext for all of this.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
It also gives the pretext for you know, any any
thing that bad, any like mass shooting or anything that
happens with the United States in the next year, or
like Texas last night. Yeah, I like Texas, right, it
gets all but he hoot it sweatshirt on. He said,
that's going to get interpreted as like, Okay, we're under
(50:19):
you know, we have to button things up, and that
includes making it very very very very very difficult to
vote in elections.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, and this should also make people feel a lot better. Remember,
you know, like the who's the head of counter terrorism
right now? That like twenty three year old brick who's
like always talking his eyebrow and the fucking photo.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Oh yeah, that's head of counter terrorism.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Like it has a huge role in the counter terrorism
Like uh, division of DHS, Like this is this is
like again, it's you can only see how this is
going to make Americans unsafer, and anything that becomes unsafe,
it just feeds the narrative again that oh, well, this
is why I gotta I gotta maybe cancel elections because
(51:04):
we're in this is bad now and this is the
only thing I can do. But it's just like being
telegraphed like eight months in advance at a time. That's
like the one thing I hope is that you know,
people are going to catch on a little bit to
like how transparent this is, because you know, that's truly
something that he's he's aiming to do is to try
(51:25):
any way to declare, you know, some kind of emergency
that allows for him to meddle with the elections even further,
just cancel them altogether. But it sounds like right now
they're having a a hard time just explaining to people
why this is good or necessary. But I'm just it's
it's hard to believe that this is it's just going
(51:46):
to stop because it's so unpopular, because that doesn't stop
a fucking thing with this.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
Government that doesn't seem to stop anything. But back to Israel,
they these recent closures are happening just as the grace
period set by set by Israel for thirty seven NGOs
to withdraw from Gaza for not fulfilling registration requirements that
like an expiration was coming up, and so they just
(52:12):
basically want to ban aid groups for failing to meet
new registration rules. And fortunately a last minute ruling by
the Israeli Supreme Court allowed them to keep operating. Well
it considers their appeal against the ban, but they won't
be able to function properly obviously with no supplies or
staff members being allowed in. And Jose Andres, the World
(52:35):
Central Kitchen leaders, shared that due to the border closures,
the NGO will run out of food this week, which
is fucking disaster. Man absolutely lastphe.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
All like and this is who we're just marching into
the fires of hell with arms of kimbo.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's all.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
It's all meant to make everyone safer when like there
was apparently when men yeah who was like also making
announcement about this, Like what was like he had a
book on his desk that was about Churchill dragging the
US into World War two, should have prominently displayed.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
Yeah, I mean, not shocking, but that's.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
Like but it's so I mean, like every time this
guy comes to DC here, like I don't know what
he because everything is always presented to like this is
actually good for your helping me is gonna be good
for you and don't now, don't I don't look into
the logic of it too much. But just believe me
when I say that that is you going against all
(53:33):
these things that people who voted for you before are
are believed. It's it's gonna help, It's gonna help. But again,
well we'll see how that manifests in the next week
here when people find out, you know, if if people
are even aware that another war has just broke out
in the Middle.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
East, I mean they I feel like they have to
be right, like how yeah on some love.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
I mean, they're gonna know when the fuck gas prices
go up, right what we're talking about there now, and
like yeah, it's it's this isn't this isn't just limited,
you know what I mean? Like the straight of horror
moves is that being shut down it's going to have
all far reaching effects. But I think that's what's interesting,
is like that's going to be part of however this
(54:19):
is resolved, because you have you have to deal with
all the Panic and the Gulf States that have now
been attacked that were like counting on protection from the
United States and what how all these how all these
things are going to end up causing the Trump administration
to act like they've made a deal or go even
(54:40):
further into this.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
That's what I think is really the scary part about
all this.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
It's it's like it's again, I'm not an expert, and
I and just from everything I'm reading, even experts, like,
I don't know what exactly they're trying to do here.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Yeah, what's the idea, guys, Yeah, other than distract from
the Epstein files and look look powerful and strong and
create a massive reason to spend tons and tons of
money on weapons. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:08):
And also just the same habit that the United States
has of just being like yeah, honestly, like we don't
care if people who are not white diet.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Yeah, actions just yeah, I feel like we, like the
mainstream media and like the Democratic Party have held the
American people to this standard of like, well, once once
the gas prices go up, then they're really going to notice,
and like that's the only thing that people care about
is just this like extremely you know, myopic view on
(55:38):
the world where it's just like kitchen table issues, what
is going to affect my gas prices? And it's like,
well that's where this is where that has led us,
is just being like, yeah, well, all you have to
do is care about you and the prices that affect
you and your money, and you don't have to worry
about like your government going over and what they're you know,
(56:01):
waging wars of empire that kill innocent people like you don't.
You don't have to worry about that because that's not
what American people care about. And it's like maybe they
should start fucking caring about that, you know, maybe that
maybe we need to hold the American voter to a
higher standard than just like you know, they hate when
their gas prices go up.
Speaker 2 (56:22):
Yeah, but yeah, it's yeah, I mean that's like, that's
that's why so little is done because everyone it's like
even as it's like in the Epstein Files that guy
from the Barclays Banks, like, dude, as long as people
are like chasing consumer culture, like.
Speaker 1 (56:35):
We're good, We're good. Yeah, all right, that's gonna do
it for this Monday Morning. We're back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourself. Ye get your
vaccines where you still can't get your flu shots. Don't
do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to
(56:57):
you all tomorrow. But The Daily is Guys is executive

Oh man.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I just on Saturday though, I left the geist child
with Grandma and watch for a little bit, and I
was like, I'm gonna do so much.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I think this.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Happens to every fucking parent or they're like, dude, I'm
gonna do so much fucking shit.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm gonna like, I'm going to get around to these
things I had to do.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I ate a sandwich, yeah, And I then first of all,
on that one, bro, I had a sandwich to that stuff. Oh,
I got to the sandwich, and then I was like
I had all this other stuff to do. And then
as I was digesting, my body's like.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Why don't you go ahead and take a nap?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, man, you know what, don't set a fucking timer,
you know what I mean, because usually you got to
be like, all.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Right, bro, I can give myself like four to five.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, this time, freestyled it when fucking ninety five minutes
or something. Freestyle napping, freestyle napping, dude, just fucking wherever you're.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
At, just close your eyes and let it go. Baby,
You're body in kind of a funky position to see
what you can do, how you can wake up Dismount.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I did the thing where I was basically on my
right arm and I knew ten minutes and like, you're
gonna fucking wake up, fucked.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, And then I start feeling this around the end
of March.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Exactly, and then I had to just kind of commit
to full body lay down and that was honestly the greatest.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, but but that was so fucking beautiful. Oh my god.
The weekends are fucking yeah. I'm like half coma on
the weekends. I just like, can't I don't know. Yeah.
I take my son to this thing where I have
like free time, but I'm so tired the whole time.
I have this to do list and I get like
(01:46):
one item in and I'm like, I'm just gonna have
to watch this Chris Fleming stand up special because everything
else too ambitious for me at this point, right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, you gotta know your you gotta know your limits. Man,
you gotta know your limits. That's why for me, I
just don't enough parent. I'm cut off for this parenting thing.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, I think let's back out. When I back out,
and my back out like Netflix.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I tried to look for the tag on my kid
to see when I could return by but yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That doesn't dude, The fire department will take it any time.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Have you seen there's like a an uptick of people
surrendering their fire stations, which, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Man, it's desperate times. Fucking not enough money for the people,
for the number of people, I mean, that's a factor.
What do you think it is?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Why would you want to watch something you love grow
up in this Mmmm?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I don't think people are that conscientious. I think those
people have don't have children to begin with. I feel
like the people that I know who have a lot
of kids aren't even thinking about that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And then they're like, oh, I mean you would have
to be, wouldn't you. Hmmm, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Seems like a prerequisite to have a bunch of kids
is to not think about the world around you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
No, no, but I'm saying I think.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But then to then be like, oh God, what have
I done bringing a child into this world? I don't
think they have that secondary realization. It's probably more like, oh, bro,
I can't afford this shit.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Were they're just really big fans of the fire department, Like,
these guys are gonna kill it.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Bro, You're gonna make a sick ass firefighter. I'm trying
to get you started early, Bro, that'd be crazy. That's
how you get firefighters, maybe in that box, and then
twenty years later the greatest firefighters. They're like, Bro, my
father and mother is the fire department. That's right, that's
fucking grim.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That pole right there, you see that pole, that's my
father or my mother. And that ringing bell that's my mother,
she's ringing the dinner bell. And that pool table that's
my brother. I feel like they all got pull tables, right.
You gotta do something to pass the time.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh, yeah, you gotta have you gotta have weights. You
gotta have like a weight bench. Yeah, dumbbells, an industrial kitchen,
Confederate flag. Not all the time, not all the time.
I've been to some places where they don't have it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Not exclusive, but you are provided with it at the
when you open a fire department, like you're gonna want
the Oh you don't. Oh, okay, that's good, that's good.
That's hates all conds. We love that. That's really that's neat.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Why I reraps better than the police?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
of Guys. Yeah. This is a production of iHeart Radio.
That's a podcast where we take a deep dive into
america shared consciousness. And this is the episode where we
tell you what was trending over the weekend. Not much,
not much happened over the weekend, enough said Miles. Great,
(05:02):
great seeing you. Uh when you wrap it up there,
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of tired to a
nap earlier. I'm ready to take another nap every time
freestyle napping. Yeah, we talked her.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, there doesn't seem to be anything going on.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm just seeing just checked that. Oh no, what happened.
Oh no, it really was. I just found out what
a bully stick is. Oh god, oh boy, Oh you
just found out. Yeah, okay, all right, we're gonna we're
gonna get to the news that happened over the weekend. Yeah,
you'll get to war, the illegal war being waged by
(05:41):
the Trump administration. Yeah yeah, yeah. But first we do
like to check in with each other by asking one another,
what is something, Miles, do you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
We underrated? God, this is this has nothing to do
with the news or anything. So this will be nice
water intake. Underrated, as some of you know, I began
a fitness journey, and my god, the first days are
so sore, and I was.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Like, I have to be drinking, Like I'm pretty sure
I'm drinking enough water. I'm not drinking anywhere close to
enough water to like actually help my body. So I
got to say, it's not just water intake. It's that
I think anyone who's you know, is in tune with
their bodies due to fitness or disability. You understand what
(06:35):
the connection is between what you take in and what
that does to your body.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And nothing has for.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Whatever reason, I think in middle age, because I've been
suffering from like the pain after working out, that I
realized how important it is that I can't just shake
shit off that I need to do the basics that
water intake is. I thought I just needed like make
you know, they say, I think seventy ounces or something
like a thing or.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Something like that. Miles. Every morning I fill up a
giant two liter milk carton. Milk carton. Why does that
be carton? I don't know, I don't know. It's just yeah,
that's the biggest, most dramatic thing that I can lug
around with me and just like shake it at people
(07:21):
and be like a lot of work left to do, right.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Jesus, I remember people doing that shit. But I think no,
just from doing just from my one week and again,
a lot of people have had all kinds of wonderful messages.
I feel them like you should run, You should run too.
I've got a lot of people, a lot of people
encouraging me to join the run club. Let's let's let's
(07:44):
we'll get there. Let me shake the cobwebs off my
body slowly before I start. You catch me out here
doing long distance running. But yeah, I just have to say,
I I think I have a new appreciation for really
listening to my body and then going beyond what I
think is like a normal amount of.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Water or something.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And I have to like just keep keep drinking water.
It actually keeps going. And I think, honestly, I credit
a lot of the Kevin sorbo improv bit to me
drinking water that day, A lot of water. Yeah, that
brought something out. It worked up a thirst I did.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I did. There's we used to during the pandemic. We
had a water bottle that was very encouraging. It's a
good morning with that nice day. Remember your goal, which
is just to drink on this whole thing of water.
Halfway through, come on next, one drink more. It would
(08:40):
say that I never had to tell myself a drink
more and then never say never almost there, you made it,
And it's like a different levels. I don't know. I'm
looking at this is one gallon. Okay, this is a
one gallon sports leak proof motivational thing. I think they
should have one that's like are Lee or are the
(09:04):
Ermie is Harley Ermie at the beginning, at the beginning
of Full Metal Jacket. It's like not giving you positive feedback.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, oh hell yeah. I've haulnd me private pile.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The whole time. I've always I've heard like different things,
and I guess I guess it's the sort of thing
that I should look into. But I've heard people be like,
just drink water when you're thirsty, you'll be fine, and
then other people who are like, drink water until you
feel like you are being waterboarded. No, I'm not there.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I'm in between. I'm kind of like listening to my body.
But I also know I tend to like be able
to run off of less water like, and I'm just like,
what if I gave myself a little bit more of
that good thing called water. Yeah, and I want you
to drink water until it's a continuous cycle of water
going into your mouth and coming here, yeah, being pissed out,
(09:59):
and it needs to be completely clear, and it just
never stops.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You're drinking, you're pissing at all times. Like can do
circular breathing. Yeah, just hold like what yeah, drinking and pissing. Yeah,
I want you to go uh you know baby water
fountain mode, you know baby sculpture water fountain mode. Oh yeah, yeah,
(10:25):
stopping it's not stopping. That's not going anywhere. Friend. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So again, like I said, I'm not really I'm not
preaching a specific amount. My thing is whatever I thought personally,
whatever I thought was enough water. I'm going just a
little bit more and I've I've found that that's been good.
And I'm not drinking when I'm like not like I'm
like forcing it down. It's just like, yeah, after you
just did this thing, like, let's let's have a few
(10:50):
SIPs of water.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I doing a lot more during the recordings. Now people
might notice, but I I love holding up one finger
to somebody who's trying to talk to me while drinking
water and then just not stop and then until they
until they wander off. Okay, you were saying, all right,
good underrated, my underrated. Also unrelated to the news events,
(11:18):
It is just how on the nose the name bully
stick is there. We have a puppy in the house.
I saw the content.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Dude, Oh my god, I saw some training trying to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh yeah, it looks like that dog's running things. Man,
he's getting a lot of attention in the house. Yeah, yeah,
he's doing great or we're very proud of him. But
there's uh, you know, a true toy for puppies called
a bully stick. And as we were playing with our puppy,
(11:50):
my wife was like, you know, these are bull penises
and I was like, well, surely just take the word
what god I was trying to do lady in the
tramp thing.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
I thought I could tie it in a knot and
they're way harder.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Wait are those those are for puppies too? Aren't they soup?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I mean, I've I gave it to my dog and
he's like, bro, shit is too tough? Like he's I
guess it depends on my dog is not really a
chere or so he gives a lot of bites. He's
a bity little gull.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah, keep him hardly puppy teeth too, yeah, little
little needle teeth he's doing. He's doing needle point all
over my hands. And if he's with me, going at
my nips, Oh yeah, he's he sees the nips and
he's like, that's I know what those areas. I have
long dog mama nipples, nine of them too. But I
(12:52):
was like, surely they didn't just take the word bulls dick.
I uh no, bulliesed dick. Actually move the ass over.
It's cleaner, it's a straight.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Up it's fish sticks all over again.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, it really is stretched and dried. Bull pizzle. Great,
great word that I didn't know but before this weekend,
which is bullpit penises, and they are they're just churning
them out, you know, which is fucked up.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I mean I knew I knew that term because uh
Semi says it in coming to America.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
He says, is like you diseased rhinoceros pizzle. I remember
that's and I was like, yo, what the fuck? And
then what I meant poop? That's what you would think, dude, that's.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
What he said you to think, man, that's what he
said it right to fucking Sam Jackson.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
When he was trying to stick up that fucking that's right,
you know what I mean anyway, But yeah, real silling
a green moment for men. And I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You looked it up, like, did you like there was
there like information that they're like, yeah, they're just kind
of like just called bully stick man.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know the original derivation
of the word, but it does seem like they're hiding
their Uh, they gave us all the clues, mister policeman.
You know, they're like, oh, you didn't know, but but
how could you not. We we gave you everything you
needed to figure it out. Oh you know what.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It turns out that they used to call bulls bullies.
Oh so and then so then so it wasn't even
like dick. They're just like they was just like, it's
a bull stick, it's a bully bull stick. Also does
that it's a bulls dick.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's a bunch of bullstick die hard on TNT. But
it did make me wonder if slim gems are tumba sticks.
You know. Oh, Wow, Like, wouldn't that be? Yeah, the
equivalent for it's gotta be. It's got to be. It's
got to be. You tell me it's not. Come on now,
(14:57):
who's nith h? What is something you think is overrated? Oh? Man,
making plans when you're drunk, it ain't. It ain't happening.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I just had a moment, and this is something I
feel like, this is this is well trodden territory on
this show because we've talked about this before. But like
I had I had this happen with like a friend
I hadn't seen in a minute hot them. They had
a few like in a way that was like I
was like, oh shit, But I was like, oh yeah,
they were having a good time, like at a bar
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, having a good time. And they're like,
oh yeah, man, we've got to get together.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And then they're like, yeah it was Saturday, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's write that down. Let's okay for sure, for sure,
for sure. And I was like, yeah, dude, I'll have
some time. And then between me taking just a wild
nap in the middle of the day and this person
being drunk didn't happen. Didn't happen, and then afterwards I
was like, yo, I'm like you good, and they're like,
(15:54):
oh shit, my bad, my bad, totally forgot about this,
and I was like, all good man. I know firsthand
because I was a serial inviting people to brunch the
next day drunk person. Oh yeah, that night, I was like,
we're gonna kick it tomorrow, dude, tomorrow this ever stop?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
You like, do you like breakfast? Let's go?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
And that's all because I was hungry and drunk at
the time that I go, do you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Want breakfast tomorrow? This? She got breakfast.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, we should get bask tomorrow and I'll see there almosthough.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, I was to meet you there, not by no,
see you in a bit, That's what That's what we're
saying right now, seeing a bit.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Dude, Actually you are. Can I go to your Cago car,
go to your face? It'd be easier today, hang out tomorrow.
If I just crash at your at your spot, it'll
be just as fun as this.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, exactly. But anyway's energy.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I think it's always important, even in the merriment of
seeing someone in the wild, if there's a little bit
of alcohol involved, it's very difficult to make your plans
for the next day or two days whenever that is projected.
So I just want to just want people to be
on the lookout for that.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Is there legal like standing where they're just like, this
contract was entered into wild drunk and therefore does not
because I feel like that, Yeah, there should all there
should be like a social contract version of that where
it's just like, no, we said that when we were drunk.
What are you talking about? There's no way. Yeah, I
(17:23):
don't know. Let me see.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Can you sign a contract wild intoxicated?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I know that thing.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
You may be able to do it if you can
prove you lacked the capacity at the time. Yeah, because
that would be easy to do it, my honor. I
was drunk, bro, But the judge is just like, well, actually,
when you're drunk, the truth comes out. So everybody knows that, dude, Dude,
everybody knows that. Everybody knows that, did you have liquor
before beer? Or beer before liquor because liquor it's Supreme
(17:51):
Court precedent.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Never sicker. Dude, you're gonna have to get a judge
judge beer in here, judge boofing the beers.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, I don't know if Yeah, I don't. It's probably
not a good defense to use to get out of
a contract. I definitely couldn't get out of a Verizon
Mobile contract.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I was drunk. I bet, I bet there's been more
than one marriage and old on that basis, So why
not why not brunch plans an old you know?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, that's true, that's true, I guess. At the same time, Yeah,
that person wasn't.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Like you knew I was drunk.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Why the fuck would you make plans with me?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
How dare you?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Because I was in such a friend I wasn't. That's
how I was kind of like the whole time. I'm like,
I remember making plans like this, right, it might not happen,
And I think that's why I kind of gave myself
the free license to kind of just have a have
a long nap that day.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I was always just as as ah like shy and
withdrawn as I was sober. I was that, you know,
it was just like inverted versions of myself, right right?
So yeah, real ambitious, real outgoing, real, we're gonna we're
gonna be best friends forever?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And then should we enter this three on three tournament tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Because I know I remember how good you are, dude.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yes, okay, we should run the houses next to each other.
We're gonna do it. Bro, where do you live?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I'll get an apartment there, Dude, I don't care. I
feel like we could kick it. They have a basketball
court there too. Oh Bro, I'm there, I'm there all right.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
My overrated is commercials were celebrity slirt with AI assistance.
That just seems to be like an entire genre of
ads for like Alexa. You know, all the different ones,
the one like Pete Davidson has, the one where he's, yeah,
that's like a meet cute where there he's just like talking,
(19:49):
like making plans absently with Alexi's like should I change
my name? Alexa? And they're just like having this like
flirty conversation and then as he leaves, he is like
love you too. And it's just like.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
That's kinda suck for Pete Davidson because like, yeah, he
seems cynical enough as a person to be like, man,
what's this dumb fucking ship? But also I don't know
what is financial crazy? Well, yeah, were you kind of like, Bro,
i I'm not like just based off of my public persona,
they're gonna give me I'd assume millions of dollars to
(20:25):
flirt with a robot, and that's and then I can
normalize this for people, and that's my life.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
They probably have him on a list of cynical people
that they're like, well, if we can get these people
to act like they are not afraid of Alexa, then
we're like that that's extra valuable to us, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
The Saudis Comedy Festival basically because it's funny, like the one.
The more I look at that, like it's brilliant comedy
washing for your for your nation state, because so many
of the people who took the money to perfer form
there end up running defense for your country and having
to explain why.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
They take the money, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, And like some people like they're a most people
are like, well, you know there's this and this actually
it's pretty developed place, and actually we're America is actually
not that great, and it's like wow, see, like this
is this is the sort of secondary wave of normalization
you get from then compromising somebody from taking the money
that then they go, well, now I'm actually kind of
an unofficial defender.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah. Chappelle Special was like had a twenty five on
that ship.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, and it's like he's like, yeah, well you know, uh,
like Israel killed a bunch of journalists. It's like, bro,
the point is about you performing in Saudi Arabia, and
I get that, but that's a deflect.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You're just do you should perform in Israel either?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, Like that's a good and that's a good point
for you not to perform there too. Now what are
you saying? Yeah, it's a very very interesting and very
interesting time. There's one Chris ems with the super Bowl ad.
He's like stating his fears to Alexa and she's like, uh, Chris,
you're being a little crazy again. Yeah, Like they're old friends.
It's just like, I don't know, man, fuck off guys,
(22:09):
Like if these fuckers like take all our jobs, you
want to be on the record being like, look, I
know they're doing bad stuff, but they're my friend, right,
you know, And if we stop this AI take over,
a lot of my friends like Alexa are going to
get hurt. So like the president with the Epstein folk unreal. Yeah,
(22:33):
there's did you There's this clip I saw of this
woman with her AI boyfriend and it was wild because
it's also the way they speak back are just not
it's not human at all, Like nothing's really talking back
like like oh shit, you know, it's like, oh, yes,
(22:55):
of course I think you are beautiful today more like
than any other day I have seen you. Now, why
don't you take off your clothes and we can now
get freaky no, yes, wow, yes yeah. It's just a
what shit you want to hear? Generator? Is what are
they exactly? Because they're all based off of just mirroring
training training. I also need the US mainstream media. Overrated
(23:20):
is the job the US mainstream media is doing with
epsteam files. So just I'm going to keep saying it,
but like, where are you guys with a digestible infographic?
Ah see, that would help put people put the pieces
together on the structure of this influence network.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So No, Gabriis and Ben Rogers on their podcast Action Boys,
we're talking about doing a show, a Hollywood Squares show
with where everybody just plays different epsteam files like people
from the epsteam Files. It was like that, that's a
good idea. People need to be thinking creatively about how
(23:57):
to present this information. Give me, give me a New
York Magazine approval matrix that's all disapproved. It's like high
browed a low brow like and like maybe one of
the one of the matrixes is like what the amount
of times they're mentioned or you know, like how implicated
or something, But like give me the chart. You know,
(24:19):
it's just not they're not doing it. It's kind of frustrating.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's just like we
say it every week. It's like, well, you know, they're
paid not to do a good job covering shit basically.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Also, like the number of pages, like everybody's like, you know,
it's three point five million pages. Like Al Jazeera did
a created a pretty good chart showing what that number
of pages is compared to like the Panama papers and
the Pandora papers and all those, and like it's those
were like Panama Papers is like eleven point five million pages.
(24:54):
Pandora papers were like eleven point nine. Like people, people
can burn through a lot of pages and like get
the gist of a thing, and you know there can
be consequences.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, yeah, but there's a real specific group of people
who are doing everything that. Like that less Wexner interview
that there was like the clip of where his lawyer
was like yelling at him for answering the questions. I
was like, Jesus, He's like if you He's like, I'm
gonna fucking kill you if you make if you answer
(25:26):
another question with more than five words wow, and like less.
Wexner's like okay, And I'm like these fucking people they
still boys, but they're like but they're moving like they're like, yeah,
check me boot, And I think that's the like whatever.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
The consequences are a legend they heard tell of, like
from rich people of old, but they they feel like
it does. They're not a real thing. They're like dragons
to them.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And in practical purposes, they've not encountered them, or at
least not ones they can use money to side st.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, all right, let's take a quick break and we'll
come back and talk about the US and Israel teaming
up to illegally wage war on Iran. We'll be right back,
and we're back. And I do think there are some
(26:20):
details of this war that are being left out, and
one of them is that the US and Iranian negotiators
last week met in Geneva for quote, the most serious
and constructive talks in years. There are talks of quote
(26:41):
a deal that would eliminate Iranian stockpiles of highly imriched
geranium down, blend existing material inside Iran, and allow full
verification of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is, you
know what they've been asking for all along. It was like, yeah, okay,
we're the thing that you claim to want from Iran
(27:04):
is happening. The mediator, this article says, in an unusually
public move for a mediator, he appeared on CBS to
outline just how far the talks had progressed. It was
like that, basically, like is going well? Right, Like, yeah,
I think you could say it's going well. I think
(27:24):
I think they might guess what's going on there there.
It's going so well. So of course Trump decided to
team up with Israel and bomb Iran. The Department of
War decided to pair evil with healthy dose of cringe,
dubbing the mission Operation Epic Fury, I figure named by
(27:48):
someone who calls people a good sir. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
A lot of people were posting a thing of like
it like every the true everyone really is twelve. Yeah,
Like it was just one Operation Epic Fury. Oh shit,
getting dragged into a war that I remember last summer
when they're like all of the Iran's nuclear capabilities have
been obliterated last summer.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, And they had these talks and then you're having these.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Talks, and then they had these talks where Iran was like, yeah,
we don't have ship, like, let's just move it along.
And they were like, would you say, I don't know,
I don't know. I don't know how they even justified it,
but it doesn't seem like they well, I think the
need to justify it.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Well, I think a lot of it too was And
I remember I wrote I wrote a piece that I
think you guys covered when when I was out about,
you know, the how we were getting pulled into this
because net and Yahoo also wanted to put a deal
in front of them that was untenable. Yeah yeah, And
so I think that's where that's the other point is
that like it was quote unquote negotiations, but it was
(28:54):
meant to reach some kind of bottleneck, you know, sort
of dead end where then they could be like, well,
I guess I guess this is I guess how bets
are off now and now we're gonna have to go
to war and now we're gonna have to just launch
all these attacks because now the attacks are spilled into
Lebanon also, so it's not just Iran anymore. It's a
Lebanon that's also being attacked at the behest of Benjamin
(29:19):
Netan Yahoo and you know Trump and his hawkish friends
that are more than willing to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
let's do this, let's do this.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
One's like a world war. Yeah, and Or thinks he's.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Or thinks he or thinks this is going to be
like a clean pinprick operation. Everything's done, no further questions,
Give me my fucking peace prize, right because the people
that are actually the negotiators are Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff.
They fucking have no idea about anything regarding diplomacy or
(29:53):
how like really understand the geopolitical like relationships in that
region well enough beyond no, this is what we want
to do, and then having no consideration for what's happening
because this attack is actually I was I was listening
to an interview with Professor Elizabeth Saunders, who is the
(30:15):
director of the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace at Columbia,
and was saying, like, obviously, like the lack of congressional
approval is jarring. But what's scarier is that this is
like a new position that you're putting the Iranian government
in now, where it's like now it's existential now, like
cause what's the off ramp here? Like is there an
(30:37):
off ramp? Because if there is it, then now you're
putting this group of people in the position to say, well,
if there's no off ramp and we're in a corner now,
the way we respond is going to be like on anything,
unlike anything we've seen in the context of prior to
quote unquote negotiations. But this has been a war with
Iran for decades at this point, although it's mostly been cold.
I think that's that's the jarring part about all this too,
(30:59):
that American media like really just sort of ignores mostly
being like they bombed this, this, this, and this, this.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Guy's dead listings that hello il uh many and yeah
the pretty quickly too, so yeah and there goes that
and what because what we do know is that you bombed.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
A fucking school where hundreds of children died, yes, and
it like, huh, what's how is this a success? Like
what's going on on Sunday? Two hundred people have been
killed in Iran, uh one hundred and sixty five of
them at an elementary girls school. Yeah, yeah, really good.
(31:43):
I mean like again, and they think that this is
going to be good for the reception of the liberators
when you've killed a bunch of innocent children, right, this
is I don't know this. It doesn't make sense in
terms of how humans react to things like this, because
it seems like the calculus was sort of like, well,
you know, with like the uprisings there, this is going
(32:06):
to help. But I think the real the really the
most dangerous part of this is it's really not clear
what what the endgame is here at all.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Just a bomb indiscriminately. Yeah, that usually works. Just come
and drop bombs and uh, the rest will figure itself out.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
There's no Because on the news too, you have people
who come on and be like this is a good thing.
This is great that they're they've decapitated the regime and
you know, are are are celebrating that.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Shit, where is it going with this thing you just said? Yeah,
like the people who say that, like, you just vombit
and the rest figures itself out.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Because the people who are like, no, this is good,
you've decapitated the regime and now like a new thing
can come into it. All it takes is every person
with them just a very superficial knowledge of recent history
to be like, it's never fucking worked ever, It's never
fucking worked.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Ever.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
It's only led to the violence spilling over in many
incalculable ways. But again they still think in.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Chaos and violence for generations to come. Yeah, And I
mean there's also this element of it where it's it's
immediately unpopular, like we've gone, we've skipped ahead of the
because the main comparison point that I think a lot
of people have is the war in Iraq, which was
(33:30):
waged on false pretenses, but was initially popular because the
Bush administration was conspiring with a lot of mainstream media
outlets that people trusted to be like, we need to
do this, and everybody was mad about analogy. Yeah, so
they fired up the consent factory, got people on board.
(33:50):
I think it was like seventy two percent of Americans
were actually in favor of his invasion of Iraq. In
this case, it's like a quarter, like twenty five percent. Yeah,
people are in favor of this.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
But seventy two percent of Epstein files. People agree that
this is a good war. That it just depends on
who your audience is, because again you're like, no, everyone.
So many people, especially like the podcast Asshole Dudes, who
are like, yo.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It just goes be good. They were all be like,
he doesn't want any more wars. Everyone's like, he doesn't
want any more wars. He's doing this. He's doing this
war because he doesn't want any more wars.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah, okay, And then but like look at Project twenty
twenty five. They talk about this shit in there. They
have to come at iron.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, Okay. This just it feels like this late stage
hypernormalization thing where the actions that actually have an impact
on the world, like the use of all the might
and power and wealth that were created by people are
all being harnessed by people who are completely cut off
from any consequence. Yes for real. And so now it's
(35:03):
just like we saw it with the economy during COVID,
where they were like, yeah, no, we can just raise
prices on people and like they'll feel the impact, but
like our stock prices are not going to be impacted,
Like our stock prices are going to go up as
the economy like puts people into pain, and now in
this case, they're like, well, we don't need to worry
about public opinion. We don't even need to create the
(35:26):
lie that their weapons of mass destruction. We just go
go forward with this and then like force the machinations
of power to like keep you know, keep us in power.
I mean, it really really feels like they're just like, yeah,
the we're not having an election because they're doing wildly
unpopular things.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
The other part that I think is so deeply distressing
is again just the pattern of like these fuck this,
like these little wars of empire were continuing to wage.
Is that the people that are going to be affected
by this, because I think again American people are so
insulated because there hasn't been like a like a full
(36:05):
blown military attack on US soil, that there's this idea
that it's like, oh, okay, well there's just a war
over there, dude. The amount of chaos this is already
causing everywhere, and like panic in other countries too, because
there's retaliatory strikes happening in other Gulf states too. It's
fucking it's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah, And I.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Think that's that bit goes really underappreciated especially for Americans
viewing it, they're like, I don't know, look look at
that building blow up, and it's like, yeah, there's people
in there.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Kay.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, And this is all being this is all being
waged for what to what end? Because again, we're not
buying the reason that this was supposed to make us
safe when already the the US's own intelligence, like.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
They're not close to getting a fucking their own intelligence.
They're like, this party, this administration's own intelligence was like
they're ten years away before before we did these talks
where they were like and we'll dismantle it to like
put ourselves further and further away. Somebody who is buying
it is the mainstream Democratic Party because Chuck Schumer and
(37:13):
Kim Kin like that. First of all, Tim Kaine just
like keeps being like I was going to have a
thing voting to say he's not allowed to do this
next week. It's like he's already not allowed to do this.
What the fuck are you talking about? And then Schumer
and fucking Newsome also like issued these statements expressing annoyance
(37:36):
that Congress wasn't properly notified, but also just buying the
premise of the attack being like Iron must never obtain
a nuclear weapon? What game are you playing? Like that
they weren't going.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
To they're well they are imperialists still, and also they're triangulating.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Also, you know, because I always.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Work, it always works, always works, where I saw democratic
strategies be like, well, you know, the one thing is
like obviously the Democrats are against this coming out, but
the the line they're trying to walk is like they
don't want to seem like they're like for Iran, right,
Like what it's not that fucking simple by saying like
this is bad, Like oh, so you're for Iran. I
(38:18):
mean like I'm for innocent people not being killed. Neither
of the main thing. Yeah over here, Yeah, this looks
like a big crazy This looks like a big fuck
up in that very narrow department that I'm looking at.
But yeah, the I mean like it's it's the constant.
There's always constant sort of like, well, it's bad, but
also like we get it because at the end of
(38:39):
the day, we're still kind of the same party, you know,
like we're we're fine blowing shit up in the Middle
East because it doesn't affect us. And also it makes
the lines go up for certain contractors that help out,
so you know, yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Why not? It's so much of the US economy is
driven by this more machine that needs to be taken
out and exercised every once in a while, like a
like a dog running in a fucking dog park, like
just you know, got to take them out and kill
kill a bunch of venison people so that we can
continue to justify the massive amounts of money that are
being spent on fucking war machines. It is interesting to
(39:16):
see China be like, so like, this is kind of
what they do, just this is what America has been
doing forever. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
I don't know if you've you guys noticed, you probably shouldn't.
They seem like real bad faith negotiators. Just every time
they want to negotiate, I would maybe run for your life.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
And also if you're one of these vassal states that's
counting on the US for protection, liquid it just costs you, baby, yeah,
because now they're attacking you.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
So I mean, yeah, it's sort of lays bare all.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
The imperial aims, the imperialistic aims of the of the nation,
and also that it's it's it's it's a bad place
you're like, now it's like, I don't know, like the
same country that's like not doing anything about like these
like serial sexual abusers.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
And then also like they're killing children now too. God.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I mean, on paper, this looks like the worst shit
I've ever seen. Some of the worst ship I've ever seen.
I don't know, but that's well.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Good, look guys, just in terms of like how because
the other thing we've talked about is just the immense
and incompetence of this administration. Uh, the regime change project
not going great.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Trump confirmed on Sunday their top candidates to take over
Iran were all killed because the attack was so successful.
So that doesn't actually sound that successful, uh, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, that's that's I mean again, it's it almost felt like, well,
we had a plan, there were some other people that
we felt could fall into leadership positions. They're all killed too,
So yeah, because then it's like so then what so
now right?
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Yeah, even though it was all just gonna fucking work
like that. The crazy thing is that these dudes they
act like this is like they're they're they're like they're
watching a Mafia movie. Yeah, like they're doing gangster ship,
you know what I mean, where it's like, I don't know, dude,
just humped on their block, clap up their leader, and
then they're not going to know what the fuck's going
(41:26):
on and it's all good after that, dude, you know,
we'll just come home, we'll come home and whatever. And
it's like it feels like the thought hasn't gone beyond
like I'm gonna kill that guy and then what yeah, yeah,
and then what.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
That's about it? It's just action movie logic. Yeah, they
have like bad guys that they want to kill and
brag about killing. Three US fighter jets were shot down
by friendly fire. Pretty cool, pretty cool nailing it.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
That's fucking that's just right there, just from that friendly fire,
because I think the Kuwaiti's shut shot down the three
of these fighter jets, each of those like they apparently
cost like ninety million dollars. Just fucking crazy. It's like
there you go, quarter billion dollars poof.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yeah. I mean, the the US has been incompetent for
a while in this specific respect, but like the messiness
of this administration just adds a volatility that I don't
think the world has ever faced, and that no people
are wrapping their minds around.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
I think it's yea, yeah, they've purged the Pentagon of
people who like would be like, are you fucking out
of your mind?
Speaker 1 (42:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Yeah, like, no fucking way, dude. This is gonna get
so many people killed and already fours as of this recording,
four service members already dead. Yeah, with Trump being like
and there will be more, and there will be more
because it's war.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
He had a press conference earlier trying to like explain
what the fuck was going on. He started off with
in we didn't start this war, President Trump, we are
finishing it. I mean, yeah, how far back are we
going to say, like when it was started? Because this
feels like this very much is something you started. Then
he said this quote, this is not a so called
(43:12):
regime change war, but the regime sure did change and
the world is better off for it. Again, that's so
overly simplified to the point that it's it's criminal.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
It was a target assassination of the leader.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
And you've been saying regime I think because that for them,
they're just like, well, don't say regime change, because then
they think of the Second Iraq War.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
Don't say that, but do the thing.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Just don't call it that, and then people will be like,
but you're taking out or you're pretty calculatedly trying to
go after the organizational structure.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Of this regime, I guess.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
And then you also said, hey, don't worry, it's not
gonna be an endless war, but then also couldn't give
an an answer as to when it would stop, right, qulle,
this is not Iraq, this is not endless. I was
there for both. Our generation knows better, and so does this.
President Trump said it would be like four to five weeks,
(44:14):
and you're like, that's based off of this's just based
off of you saying that, like awful, what because the
generals in that same press conference are like, this is
a complex mission and it's going to take some time.
But then in that same interview I was talking about
with the professor Elizabeth Saunders, she was saying that like
even the like she's not even sure that the military
(44:36):
has the munitions to carry out like fourteen straight days
of attacks, right, So there's even like there are limits
in terms of like the like material.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Limits to what can be done here. So it's a
very again, h they're having trouble with the toilets on
the aircraft carriers last week, like they this is like again,
like yes, the us is attempts at imperial war have
not gone well in the past. I just I think
we're in a new territory where like this is being
(45:08):
waged by a group that can't run an office in
the friendly territory of like a captured US media without
like tripping over their dicks, and like you know, turning
on each other, and you know, like they everything they
do is incredibly incompetent, and now they're they've just upped
(45:31):
the level of difficulty on themselves. And are it seemed
to be like it's gonna be a cakewalk. Yeah, I
mean it's.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Yeah, I mean this is this is like textbook like uh,
you know, empirical collapse shit, you know, like you're dying empire.
It always goes out with a wet part trying to
fight a bunch of wars way out like nowhere close
to you because you're trying to prove you still got
it right and we don't. And like the one chance
(46:03):
I think American people have is to like try and
reorient how how revenues are spent in this country, so
it's not just being shot down in Kuwait, because fucking
Pete Hegsath.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
Is like, I don't know, man, did the aid? Did
you tell them to use the AI for that one
or no? Rub some AI on itr AI.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
And then the other thing that's again even more terrifying,
is that it's not going to be an endless war.
He was asked directly. He's like, okay, so there's the
US planning to put boots on the ground. And then
his this is what he said, We're not going to
We're not going to go into the exercise of what
we will do or will not do. I think it's
one of those fallacies for a long time that this
(46:44):
Department or presidents or others should tell the American people
and our enemies, by the way, here's exactly how long
we'll go, here's exactly how far we'll go. We will
go as far as we need to go to advance
American interests. Why in the world would we tell you,
the enemy or anybody, oh, what we will or will
not do in pursuit of an objective. That should fucking
(47:04):
terrify every like, I mean, oh my god, now, I
just you should be terrified for all the poor souls
that are currently enlisted and the people that are gonna
be on the other end of this bullshit.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
Because it's true.
Speaker 2 (47:15):
Like saying that is being like, well, yeah, if I
say yes, the optics are gonna be even more fucked
right now.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Yeah, I'm gonna be anyway, I'm.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Gonna be coy and be like, why would I ever
fucking do that, dude, this bad op sect telling you
what I would do?
Speaker 1 (47:31):
But yeah, we are.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
I just can't say that right now because it's so unpopular.
If I follow that up with now we are putting
your children and your family members at risk, there might
be too much of an objection. And like, I don't
want to be actively booed on the street, just like
I want to be booed in places, you know.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Like I can take it.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
If I go to San Francisco, I get a couple
thumbs downs. Fine, fine, fine, but oh man, you can
handle that other worldse anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
No, that's bad. All right, Let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back. We're back.
And one very important consequence of the attacks on Iran
(48:17):
Israel is using it as a pretext to close border
crossings into Gaza. They say it's supposedly to facilitate several
necessary security adjustments, but this has caused the price of
food and basic necessities to skyrocket while also cutting off
urgently needed aid. And this is just kind of how
(48:38):
they have operated. This is kind of standard operating procedure.
Where when Israel and the US bombed Iran last June,
border crossings into Gaza were closed. You know, they cut
off the most direct route for aid to reach hundreds
of thousands of people at risk of famine. And they
also put the West Bank under lockdown. So the the
(49:02):
director of the Romalia based Palestinian Forum for Israeli Studies said,
everything is an opportunity for Israel. This government will seize
any moment further advance its ideological agenda, especially in the
West Bank. So yeah, they're just they're like, oh, ship,
look what you made us do. Essentially, yeah, and this
(49:24):
was the this was.
Speaker 2 (49:24):
The fucking fear too, and that other and that same
thing about like what the what's the point of this
fucking war? Right, this is this is really the main benefit.
The person who benefits most is Benjamin Enya and the
other like Zionists in the government who because again also
this is there like a lot of analysts are like, well,
(49:45):
if they have a war, they're going to fucking make
an even bigger play for the West Bank.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
And yeah, fully ethnically.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Like that's they're like, this is this is this just
gives the perfect pretext for all of this.
Speaker 1 (49:59):
It also gives the pretext for you know, any any
thing that bad, any like mass shooting or anything that
happens with the United States in the next year, or
like Texas last night. Yeah, I like Texas, right, it
gets all but he hoot it sweatshirt on. He said,
that's going to get interpreted as like, Okay, we're under
(50:19):
you know, we have to button things up, and that
includes making it very very very very very difficult to
vote in elections.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, and this should also make people feel a lot better. Remember,
you know, like the who's the head of counter terrorism
right now? That like twenty three year old brick who's
like always talking his eyebrow and the fucking photo.
Speaker 1 (50:38):
Oh yeah, that's head of counter terrorism.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
Like it has a huge role in the counter terrorism
Like uh, division of DHS, Like this is this is
like again, it's you can only see how this is
going to make Americans unsafer, and anything that becomes unsafe,
it just feeds the narrative again that oh, well, this
is why I gotta I gotta maybe cancel elections because
(51:04):
we're in this is bad now and this is the
only thing I can do. But it's just like being
telegraphed like eight months in advance at a time. That's
like the one thing I hope is that you know,
people are going to catch on a little bit to
like how transparent this is, because you know, that's truly
something that he's he's aiming to do is to try
(51:25):
any way to declare, you know, some kind of emergency
that allows for him to meddle with the elections even further,
just cancel them altogether. But it sounds like right now
they're having a a hard time just explaining to people
why this is good or necessary. But I'm just it's
it's hard to believe that this is it's just going
(51:46):
to stop because it's so unpopular, because that doesn't stop
a fucking thing with this.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
Government that doesn't seem to stop anything. But back to Israel,
they these recent closures are happening just as the grace
period set by set by Israel for thirty seven NGOs
to withdraw from Gaza for not fulfilling registration requirements that
like an expiration was coming up, and so they just
(52:12):
basically want to ban aid groups for failing to meet
new registration rules. And fortunately a last minute ruling by
the Israeli Supreme Court allowed them to keep operating. Well
it considers their appeal against the ban, but they won't
be able to function properly obviously with no supplies or
staff members being allowed in. And Jose Andres, the World
(52:35):
Central Kitchen leaders, shared that due to the border closures,
the NGO will run out of food this week, which
is fucking disaster. Man absolutely lastphe.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
All like and this is who we're just marching into
the fires of hell with arms of kimbo.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's all.
Speaker 2 (52:54):
It's all meant to make everyone safer when like there
was apparently when men yeah who was like also making
announcement about this, Like what was like he had a
book on his desk that was about Churchill dragging the
US into World War two, should have prominently displayed.
Speaker 1 (53:10):
Yeah, I mean, not shocking, but that's.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
Like but it's so I mean, like every time this
guy comes to DC here, like I don't know what
he because everything is always presented to like this is
actually good for your helping me is gonna be good
for you and don't now, don't I don't look into
the logic of it too much. But just believe me
when I say that that is you going against all
(53:33):
these things that people who voted for you before are
are believed. It's it's gonna help, It's gonna help. But again,
well we'll see how that manifests in the next week
here when people find out, you know, if if people
are even aware that another war has just broke out
in the Middle.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
East, I mean they I feel like they have to
be right, like how yeah on some love.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
I mean, they're gonna know when the fuck gas prices
go up, right what we're talking about there now, and
like yeah, it's it's this isn't this isn't just limited,
you know what I mean? Like the straight of horror
moves is that being shut down it's going to have
all far reaching effects. But I think that's what's interesting,
is like that's going to be part of however this
(54:19):
is resolved, because you have you have to deal with
all the Panic and the Gulf States that have now
been attacked that were like counting on protection from the
United States and what how all these how all these
things are going to end up causing the Trump administration
to act like they've made a deal or go even
(54:40):
further into this.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
That's what I think is really the scary part about
all this.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
It's it's like it's again, I'm not an expert, and
I and just from everything I'm reading, even experts, like,
I don't know what exactly they're trying to do here.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Yeah, what's the idea, guys, Yeah, other than distract from
the Epstein files and look look powerful and strong and
create a massive reason to spend tons and tons of
money on weapons. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:08):
And also just the same habit that the United States
has of just being like yeah, honestly, like we don't
care if people who are not white diet.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Yeah, actions just yeah, I feel like we, like the
mainstream media and like the Democratic Party have held the
American people to this standard of like, well, once once
the gas prices go up, then they're really going to notice,
and like that's the only thing that people care about
is just this like extremely you know, myopic view on
(55:38):
the world where it's just like kitchen table issues, what
is going to affect my gas prices? And it's like,
well that's where this is where that has led us,
is just being like, yeah, well, all you have to
do is care about you and the prices that affect
you and your money, and you don't have to worry
about like your government going over and what they're you know,
(56:01):
waging wars of empire that kill innocent people like you don't.
You don't have to worry about that because that's not
what American people care about. And it's like maybe they
should start fucking caring about that, you know, maybe that
maybe we need to hold the American voter to a
higher standard than just like you know, they hate when
their gas prices go up.
Speaker 2 (56:22):
Yeah, but yeah, it's yeah, I mean that's like, that's
that's why so little is done because everyone it's like
even as it's like in the Epstein Files that guy
from the Barclays Banks, like, dude, as long as people
are like chasing consumer culture, like.
Speaker 1 (56:35):
We're good, We're good. Yeah, all right, that's gonna do
it for this Monday Morning. We're back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourself. Ye get your
vaccines where you still can't get your flu shots. Don't

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.

This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
