mother and my father the way I love my romantic interest.
That's good they clear that up. It is important that

I don't love you like that.

Sharp was born in a Gelson's.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Born in the Whole Foods hot food section, next to
like a thirteen dollars piece of pizza. Yes, it would
be more appropriate to say Arawan but Arawan wasn't that
bougie and widespread and that far east in Los Angeles
until then?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
That's correct. But if I was.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
From Alabama or Arkansas, I would be so offended, Like
this is the most like they're like doing Arkansas hillbilly face.

Oh yes, I eate pizza yesterday for breakfast Manco and Manco's.

and mashed potatoes.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
What that he was going on with you. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
I come home and I eat like I don't know
how food works for some reason, but I can report
I feel like shit again for some reason.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Because beef is so vague. What was it? But I
think you don't know. That's who you would have said
that it was like a steak or that's why it's
so concerning, that's what. You don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
What it was just a red red meat of some sort.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, something rare. Yeah, Now it was a couple of
days old.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's been reheated a couple of times, but it was
really good on the last reheat, and this time I
was very hungry, and so I didn't notice if it
was good or bad, And now I feel terrible. I'm

Speaker 5 (05:21):

Speaker 2 (05:24):

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Happy to be here.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
We're thrilled to have you back.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I am coming from DTS down the shore for the
part of the Jersey Shore I.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Grew up going to.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Did we talk about the abandoned amusement park yesterday's episode?

Speaker 1 (05:46):
We somehow didn't get to it. We got to everything
else under the fucking sun.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
But because we were talking about the amusement park where
I appeared to pee my pants even though I didn't,
that place is now for the first time in my life,
the rides are not open this summer.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
It is enough.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
It is a straight up abandoned amusement park that's been
purchased by a hotel developer, which is like scary. We're
so close to a Scooby Doo, Like I feel like
I need to go there and start dressing up and
like you know, ghost mask and like trying to scare
people to do something with the property value. Probably scare

(06:25):
the hotel operators so they bring them rides back.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
That'll work. Both of you have kids, so you'll probably
have like a more in depth analysis on this, since
mine is purely selfish. But getting on amusement park rides
where there's clearly been no regulation or anyone looking into
how unsafe they are where, Like it's one of the

(06:49):
scariest things in the world. Like do you blink when
you bring a kid to a fair, you know, like
do you let them go on the better not to
think about it, just get on the ride.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
There's reason like Carneye is derogatory like that. The people
who run carnivals are Yeah, it's I don't know. I
guess they're good at putting the rise together because they
like take apart and put them back together so frequently.
But man, I've like gotten on rides that are like
creaking and sputtering, and the person who is running it

(07:20):
does not have a shirt on, doesn't have all their teeth,
and just like appears to be out of their mind
on something or another.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
You're risking so much.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I know, you're risking everything, your children's lives.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Pair whimsy.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, it isn't important. It is an important milestone though,
Like I I sure very distinctly remember going on the
thing that spins around so fast that like you can't
have it at normal amusement parks, the one that like
sticks you to the wall.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
And as we were.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Doing that at the Kentucky State Fair, the guy who's
operating it again jeans, no shirt, long long rattail in
the back.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
You didn't even have to say that part started.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Started walking on the wall, like so that we're sticking
to He was walking on it so like parallel, his
body is parallel to the ground. And it was the
sickest thing I'd ever seen. It was so dope, just
like look what I can do. I was like it
was hock rating that. It's like like every amusement park

(08:29):
is like, don't get any ideas, and he's like, here's
one exactly, Like if he had died, the thing just
would have kept going faster and faster, like taken off forever.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yeah, And some of the roller coasters are made of wood,
and it's like, okay, so you have something that's already
probably going to break and kill someone at some point,
let's just make it made of a substance that it
never should have been made out of, like to begin with,
like the like a log flume. Also, why is the
wood going in water? That's not that's great and wise

(09:01):
wise is the perfect. It's it's weird to me, Like.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
The roller coasters were invented and they were just like wood,
and we all take it for granted. We're like, yeah,
well that's all they had back then. But it was
like the twenties they were also they were making things
out of metal in the twenties. They knew knew, they
knew about metal back then, Like, well, it was the
Bronze Age.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
You have steam engines, so that you got the infrastructure
here for some reason, these things around.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
No, that's they couldn't have possibly made a roller coaster
out of anything except for what appears to be like
forty large Jenga piles.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
They had the Brooklyn Bridge back then, which.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Is not made of wood, I mean not at all
looks like a roller coaster.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Kind of those hipsters are going to make it made
of wood.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
I always wonder. I'm like, are the ones that they
bring into town for a week or a couple of weeks,
like they do in Portland for the roast festival and
set up and then they take it down, you know,
ten days later or whatever and go on to the
next town. Or the one that's here is just always here.
I'm like, which one is safer? And I don't want
to look it up because I actually don't want to know.

(10:15):
But the one that's just always here, always open, with
the wooden roller coaster that we have. Yeah, I don't know.
Should I look at the data on how many children
have lost.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Digits all the high profile, like horrible things happen at
the place, the ones that are permanent. But I just
wonder if it's because when a bad thing happens at
a carnival, they leave town before the sun rises. Like
it was just like, I don't know how to pack
it up to say who that was. There's just a

(10:48):
mangled body in the in the field somewhere.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
There's no paper trail or record of anyone works there exact,
they have no permits. Yeah, they just kind of show up.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, all right, well, Tory, we're thrilled to have you here.
We're gonna get to know you a little bit better
in a moment. First, we're gonna tell the listeners what
we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about Trump's tariffs.
I guess I don't know. Yeah, we're gonna do that. Yeah,
it seems bad, seems dumb. We'll talk about this vanity
fair profile of like this yacht that had all the

(11:23):
most famous people on the planet on it, and it's
truly upsetting. It feels it feels like they should be
ashamed of themselves for this one. And we'll talk about
why that song home is suddenly so popular, to shit
all over all that plenty more.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
But first Tory, we do like to ask our guest,
what is.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 5 (11:50):
The thing that I have been searching the last week
or so, and this is just gonna be TMI and
I'm gonna do it anyway, is how soon after hitting
perry menopause you can get HRT. Because I've been feeling
very toasty lately and I'm like, well, I was going
to try to power through, and then my sister was like, no,
if you start my younger sister, who probably shouldn't know

(12:12):
these things, I don't think because like, no, if you
start earlier, it helps more. So I'm honestly just like
searching for HRT, and then I'm slowly watching places change
the name of it from like hormone replacement therapy, which people,
well bigots just automatically associate with trans to menopause therapy
or menopause hormone therapy, which I think is really interesting.

(12:35):
And so I'm going to die on the hill of
calling it HRT because.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
The hormone therapy to.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Feel uncomfortable and I want them to be like, wait,
what what gender were you assigned at birth? I can't tell.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
So hormone replacement therapy is now menopause hormone therapy, according
to the Mayo Clinic, because everybody is scared.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
And men capitalized for some reason in menopause. They wanted to.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yeah, so just I've been searching up a lot of
gender affirming care, I guess is what we're going to say.
And yeah, it's interesting trying to figure out, like does
my insurance cover this? Do I have to pay out
of pocket? We live, obviously you will know this in
a hell country, one of the shithole countries we've heard

(13:29):
so much about.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
We live in a country, I agree, hell of a country.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Hell here I am. I'm trying to figure out, hmm,
is there any going to like mitigate some of these
very miserable symptoms. And then you know, thinking about, oh,
we we don't know very much about how to deal
with menopause lash perimenopause because we don't invest in even
before all of the breeds got canceled, we don't invest
in researching anything about women's self because it's not urgent.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's a real mystery.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Actually, I feel like that's like the first complicated.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's very complicated. It's scary.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
God intended women to suffer. And so here we are, Yeah,
believing that science isn't real. And I'm trying to get
answers from Google that aren't AI generated because helping it
turns out not helpful when the entire medical establishment doesn't

(14:28):
really know what the fuck they're talking about.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
I'm just going to trust Google's AI to kind of
summarize my way out together.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, they're pretty good.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
So I'm sorry you're going through that. Well, the symptoms
I've heard of, the hot flashes or the hot flashes,
how hot, how flashy you're talking, you asked the tough questions.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
We're talking.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
I had this very strange moment where I've been trying
to be responsible and be in bed reading a book
at ten pm every night, right, and obviously it's summertime, right,
so the windows are open, I don't have the comforter on.
I'm just got like my little one sheet and I'm
like reading my book and there's like you can feel,

(15:16):
you know, how you can feel the air like under
the sheet that's like around your body. I feel it,
like I can feel the temperature rising under the sheet.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
As I going like a meter you're creating at the sheet.

Speaker 5 (15:28):
And I was like, oh, oh this sucks. I was like,
what is happening here? So I think I need to
start taking an ice pack to bed with me, just
to be safe, just an emergency. You know those like
break in case of emergency ice packs and these take Yeah,
yeah that I take on like pikes and stuff from
my kids.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
A chemical one.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
I need one of those, but like for my bed, yeah,
just to be safe.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Back of the neck, yep, yep, I like it. I
have to sleep with a blanket as well, Like even
if it's like so high, I have to like need
some sort of in my mind, it's like protecting me
from an intruder. You know, this thing could come into
your They can't get.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Through the blanket though, so yeah, yeah, something about like
sleeping without a blanket.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
My body is like we're not actually sleeping. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I don't know what you think this is, but this
is not bedtime. If you're just sleeping with nothing on
top of you.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
I can't even nap without something on top of me,
like that's how ingrained it is. And it's like, oh, well,
what are we doing here, We're just hanging out on
a bed. This is this is nothing. So yeah, I
really I'm.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Thinking great, I'm thinking now.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'm like reverse claustrophobia. I like to have something close
and like I like, I find it nice and cozy.
I think I descend from pack or like Den you know, animals.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, I got that.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
I got that Den animal inside of me, that dog,
that Den dog dog.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
I sleep with a bunk bed just laying on top
of me, and there's no yea, take the leg right off.
I did.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I used to like feel very comfortable under beds, Like
as a kid, I would just like kind of hide
under a bed. Then they would come and take me,
and my dad would tell them that he has a
very particular set of skills.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Torri, what is something you think is underrated?

Speaker 5 (17:21):
Okay, So I'm gonna lie a little bit because this
is not technically underrated, because back in the day it
was huge. It was a sensation. But I am feeling
a little bit of a way about the book The
Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, which is one of my absolute
favorite books, and it came out in two thousand and five. Right,
it's a novel and it's just really beautiful, beautifully written.

(17:47):
Came out during like kind of like when I don't
remember when Twilight came out, but it feels like it
was kind of the Twilight era, so like vampires were
in the air. That was just the thing, and I
just there's.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
A up group on every corner.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Sorry, I'm not that also, vampires who were everywhere. Twilight
was at the top of the charts, there was a
duop group on every corner.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
This is like this book specifically was also like a
New York Times bestseller. It was amazing and I can't
believe no one's turned it into a film yet. But
it's like this really beautiful story about this girl who,
like this young girl who finds these handwritten letters in
like her father's library and that each of them starts

(18:32):
out my dear and unfortunate Successor, and they're written by
the historian who is very concerned that he might be
being hunted by Dracula, and so he's writing down and
they're like all date mark like nineteen thirty, like December
nineteen thirty, right, So she is like, what is this

(18:53):
and decides to go and ask her dad about it,
and then they have all these adventures together all over
like Southeast Europe, and it's just like very romantic and
like cozy in the way that she describes like all
of these different country sides is amazing and obviously, like
you know, you're talking about Romania because Dracula and it
just it just seems like a really perfect, beautiful story

(19:13):
to turn into. It would have the book is so
long it would have to be two movies. But I
am on a campaign. If anyone is listening, please hit
me up. Please. I just really want to see this
on film. It would be stunning.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I just think it's interesting that when this character writes
a bunch of letters about how they're being hunted by
a Dracula, it's art. But when I write, Blake, like
just a couple letters about how I'm being hunted by
a swamp thing, he yeah, harassment and stop doing this.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Is this a joke?

Speaker 2 (19:46):
This doesn't really add to anything. You won't let me
bring it up and make fun of you for it
on the show. These are the things he says to me, Jah,
we just got.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
To punch up your writing, man, We just got to
make it eloquent and.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Beautiful about the subject matter right exactly, it's.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
How you're writing it.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
He's on my six swamp I just used. The tone
is so fucked. We got a smoky in the swamp.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Exactly, Jason me for twenty clicks, I'm about to die.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, it sounds really lovely.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
It is.

Speaker 5 (20:23):
If you're a reader and you haven't read it, highly
recommend if you like novels not terribly smutty, but because
I know that's all the raid right now, a little
bit of romance, but yeah, mostly just good times.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
You just like have the misfortune of being the other Dracula,
the other vampire novel that was popular at the same
time as Twilight, and so they were like, we're going
to be busy making these over.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
Here, probably, and it was more for adult like I
think it was more. It was more written to an
adult audience. It's not particularly hya and obviously like ya
is where all the money is because you get all
the girlies screaming about Robert Pattinson, who turned into an
amazing actor. I just watched Mickey seventeen fucking sucked, and
I'm like sobbing because his performance is so compelling, but

(21:13):
it's weird. It's like two movies are two trains, one
is going fifty five miles an hour, and you're just like,
what is fucking happening?

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Is your recommendation? The historian as well written as Twilight?
And I'm going to read a pool book from Twilight
for you, just to get you to know what you're
competing with. Aren't you hungry? He asked, distracted. No, I
didn't feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full,

(21:50):
m dash of butterflies?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, are you serious?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, that's a straight up bar that that. Yeah, well
I try, Okay, I can't get out of my cops spirit.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
I know you can't. So at this time.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
I walked into the street and ascertained an individual of
the description of a swamp thing.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
Beautiful.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
The guy's not a cop. The protagonist is not a cop.
That's the crazy. That's just how that's how he talked.
He's a social worker. And yet you're still making him
talk like a cop.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh man, But that twist when she says her stomach
was already full.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
And I was like, wait, but what was going on?
Of butterflies? What?

Speaker 2 (22:39):
So?

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Is that a literal and by the way, we don't
This doesn't have to be a liter you know, a
literature podcast. But so is did she eat actual physical
butterflies because things or what is this like a cue?
You're not a butterfly yet.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
She's not a vampire yet yet, And I'm sorry for
any spoilers.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, it's not a butterfly yet. She's not a butterfly yet.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
In many ways, she's not a butterfly yet. She's just
learning to to blossom. Creepy, creepy metaphor that if this
was written by Stephen King, there would be a lot
of butterfly metaphors probably, But yeah, she's not a vampire yet.
She's just eating butterflies by the handful.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Okay, strange she's a frog.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Yeah, compulsive. It's like how you get pico when you're pregnant.
That's what's going on with her. Butterflies You like craved
chalk or sand or something just like butterflies for me.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Thanks, No.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I was being reminded because because we're down the shore,
I was being reminded by my sister that I used
to eat sand, and I was like, was I pregnant
when I was four years old? Because I eat a
lot of sand, and I remember it being delicious.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
It's a texture thing. I think when you're little.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
It was salty too. I like salty.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
Beach sand is salty.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, everybody salty.

Speaker 5 (23:57):
It's all the peah.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
No, that would make it.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
That would explain everything toy you think is overrated.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Okay, So I think the thing that is overrated is
buying a new cell phone when your contract is up.
I think that's bullshit. I don't think we should buy
be buying tech on big tech schedule, and we should
try to keep our things as long as possible.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
So love it.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
That's the hell I'm dying on. I have never gotten
a new device and be like, oh my god, this
is changing my life. It's just like I need this
to be able to like contact friends, family, whoever, to
do my work right, to record podcasts. Like There's never
been a moment where I'm like, oh yeah, baby, this
is a game changer. This is it for me. And
so I'm like, Okay, what can I do to minimize consumption?

(24:47):
If you just like double that, like oh yeah, you're
supposed to get a new phone every two years, Like
fuck that, Like, make make it last for four years.
I know, you do get throttled. That sucks, that's real. Yeah,
but you don't that new phone is not going to
make it feel good, feels for more than like a
day or two.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
It immediately becomes invisible, like a day is stretching it.
It's just immediately, it's just like, oh yeah, now I
don't notice the thing that was like kind of wrong
with the last one, but impiately everything else immediately becomes invisible.
And I like put the same like, you know, protector
on the phone, so.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Like I don't even remember, don't even know.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, same case, same protector.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
It's an insane process too, where it's like, okay, so
I just paid off this phone, you know, and like
you wouldn't just buy a new car every single time
you paid off your car, Like it's just so stupid.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Yeah, definitely, Like it's sure it's not as fancy as
it was. I'm about to pay off my car. I
feel very proud of myself and but yeah, I'm like,
I still love this thing. It's amazing. It's a Sumeer
roof for sor. I live in Portland, so obviously it's.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
The perfect I got a cross tracks they just gave
you those when you moved there.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
Standard issue, Yeah, if you if you're queer and you
live in Portland. So not all Portlanders get them. There's
some reparations going here for super specifically.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
They get in presents if you get a super impressive.

Speaker 5 (26:16):
Oh man, oh man.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
No.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
So it's like nobody's ever gonna spot me in my
car because it's the same car everybody else in Portland
is driving. It's the perfect vehicle.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah. But yeah, all.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
I have to say, I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna have
this pubby paid off, very proud of myself, and also
like I don't I don't want a new car, Like
if I can keep this thing another ten years, that'd
be fucking awesome.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
So yeah, and that's how I feel about my phone
and my lap Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
I feel like the battery always wear it like that.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
That's just the question is like how long is the
battery going to last until you need to do like
a second charge at noon every day, you know what
I mean? And that that's always the thing that like
at a certain time, can you can visibly see the battery,
like the battery chart going down.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Like.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
It's not like a slow decline, it just jumps right
in quarters. It's not even smooth. Yeah all right, Well yeah,
you don't know me.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Tim Cook, Tim Apple, Steve Job, you don't know. You don't,
I don't. I don't work for you, asshole. Let's uh,
let's take a quick break.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Would that be fun? Yeah, let's take I'm exhausted. This
is fucking holy fucked up. I am so fucked up
right now. I need ten uh yeah, all right, we'll
be right back. We'll be right back, and we're back.

(27:52):
We're back. Oh good, Okay, thank you for confirming that, Blake.
Of course.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Wait, god, are you guys ready to talk about tabor.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Terrorists?

Speaker 2 (28:02):
My favorite thing to pretend I understand. Yes, it's I mean,
I will say it's a tool that has been used,
it's but it is the only tool that Donald Donald
Trump is. Like if a car mechanic only had a
hammer and that was the only thing he used to

(28:25):
work on your car with, you just like beat the
ship out of your car with the hammer. Only if
your car was like actually way more complicated than a
car and was in fact the global economy. So he's
hammering away. I'm tired of even like real, like is
this the real one? Or that, because he's like been like,

(28:46):
these tariffs are happening, but I think these are the
real tariffs, Like they're.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Happening, right, And.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Indiana, India and Brazil not Indiana.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
India and Brazil have been.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Quote punish the worst with fifty percent tariffs, and there
are reasons that have to do with just like them
being mean or nice too, Like it's it's completely illegal
for the president to be like I'm doing tariffs on
a country because they're being mean and like I'm punishing them.

(29:20):
Is not at least so far beyond like how things
are supposed to or allowed to work. Brazil is being
punished for having a socialist leader that people actually like,
Like that's the subtext, and then the yeah, that's humiliating
for him. And then they're also quote persecuting his friend

(29:46):
Yai Ra Bolsonaro.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Oh because he has consequences for his actions.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, he doesn't like persecution.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, that is also not great for him to be
setting the president of authoritarian leaders facing consequence says yeah, no,
thank you. And so after Brazil's justice system charged Bolsnar
with attempting to orchestraate to coup in twenty twenty two,
which that must have been weird for that of brazilience.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, it's been hard. Hold on.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
He demanded Brazil's legal system intervene on Bolsnar's behalf or
face tariffs on the entire country. They did not change
their decision, and so they're facing big tariffs. India their
tariffs doubled from twenty five percent to fifty percent because
they were buying Russian oil despite the war in Ukraine.

(30:37):
Will be interesting to see how Tim Poole and the
other paid Russian assets feel about this, who are also
like mega people. But you know what one could say,
it would be we wouldn't have this problem if the
end of the war on Ukraine in twenty four hours,
like he promised he would. But I guess that's neither
here nor there. People are like, ooh, he's being mean

(31:02):
to Putin. I think he has a meeting coming up
with Putin, so that should end right around immediately after that.
Meetings between Trump and Putin typically involve them meeting Putin
like taking him to behind a closed door without the
media present, and then Trump suddenly deciding to capitulate to

(31:24):
whatever Russia wants because he is not a good negotiator.
And because it would appear that they might have something
on this guy.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
I don't know, it's like that toxic like your friend
who's always like, oh, I'm just gonna get you know,
like get drinks with my toxic accidents. They're gonna fuck.
They're gonna each other, They're gonna suck each other. God damn,
they're gonna get back together. Yes, and yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
We we've I feel like the Compromat stuff, like everyone
was like, oh, the Pee tapes, and then we like
started laughing at the Pe tapes, and like Russia Gate
was maybe over a bit overblown. I don't know that
it necessarily won him the election, but as we've seen
his behavior around the Epstein files, I feel like there's

(32:13):
probably no shortage of potential things that they might be
holding over his head. Would be my guess, based on
how he has been acting around around that stuff and
his inability to act like it's weird to be a
sexual predator.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
You know, it's not him.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Yeah, it's it's a power play. That's just all it is.
It's like that's what guys like him do.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
So anyways, well we'll see where that Switzerland got a
thirty nine percent tariff because.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Boring not my chocolate.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah chocolate, Oh no chocolate. Americans import more from Switzerland
than we export to them. So he was like, you
got to start buying our shitty weapons and energy and
or corn?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Why our corn?

Speaker 2 (33:08):
How would you like to make everything out of corn
for a couple of years? And they were like, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
That seems bad. We wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
We've noticed that everyone in your whole country smells like corn.
We probably don't notice that, but I think we all
probably smell like corn because we're mostly made of corn.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
At this point, fair valid.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Anyways, So they got hit with the tariff hammer, and
then the EU was able to limit tariffs by agreeing
to buy a bunch of natural gas. People are saying that,
you know the like in cases like the EU, he's
able to get a temporary concession here and there, but
the long term impacts on trade are going to be bad.

(33:54):
Like already you were seeing countries just decide not to trade,
like find other people to trade with, like they now
know that the US is completely unstable, completely irrational, and
so like the Prime Minister of Malaysia set at a
conference across the world tools once used to generate growth,

(34:16):
are now wielded to pressure, isolate, and contain. As we
navigate external pressures, we need to fortify our foundations, trade
among ourselves, invest more in one another. And India and Brazil,
the aforementioned countries that are really getting the hammer the
only thing you know how to wield, have been talking
to each other even before this latest hike, and have

(34:37):
planned to increase trade between those countries trade with each
other to twenty billion dollars over the next five years.
So there's just like, why the fuck would we ever
work with you? And this is also happening at a
time when America is just like naturally becoming less of
a hegemonic power, So like the you know, China is

(34:59):
obviously going to become like this is the best possible
thing that could happen for China, and all the people
who are like, we've got to be competitive with China,
that's all we're worried about, are like, I don't I
don't see how they are letting this happen and being
like good, good call sir.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Other than they're just like scared of him and cowards.
Even if you think that there's a reason for him
doing this beyond him being a petty little piece of
shit with no fucking plan whatsoever, which is what's going on.
His other reasoning is that, oh, it'll boost like American manufacturing.
But the problem is that these alleged facilities, like you know,

(35:36):
these steel mills, you know, like these cold natural gat
like these these factories take a while to fucking build.
They take years to build. So you can't just go
cold Turkey and be like, yeah, no, we'll just build
this enough steel manufacturing to support all these like us
cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world. Like

(35:57):
that's just not humanly possible. Like, if you're going to
do this, you kind of ease into it, and it
just it's that hammer approach a tool that he's never held,
a literal tool, that he's never touched eddie tool whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
But I bet he's picked up a hammer once. I
bet there's so many pictures of him with those.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
And like prepairing.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
But like, has he ever successfully driven a nail all
the way in?

Speaker 5 (36:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, oh no, not once? No, no, no, no, no, he's
never swung it.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, he's he's held it while wearing a suit and
in a hard Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, yeah, that's what it is what an idiot?

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Yeah, I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna
be bad. I mean I always you know, the it's
like the macro economic version of the Great Leap Forward
with like this famous disastrous policy where in China where
mal was like you, we don't need to make all
the pig iron, Like, well, we'll make all the pig

(36:53):
iron in your backyard.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
And it's like.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Well that what what? What exactly is that? So just
like stop up farming, start making iron, and everybody start
to death.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
Yeah, he's like problem solved.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Everyone forward that we ourselves.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Read the first first paragraph of the background section of
Wikipedia and then didn't didn't get any further than that.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
Yeah, it's so interesting because we clearly have I don't
know what I want to say, Like it's clearly within
like the American myth that we could resurrect all of
these industries. I think that we have like a big
enough clearly economy, we have intelligent enough people we could
do that. But that requires a plan, and that's like

(37:41):
antithetical to anything that Trump has ever done.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yes, and we have.

Speaker 5 (37:46):
Yeah, we can build up, right, we can build up
to producing enough steel or we can build up to
doing whatever, and we can offer you know, obviously we'd
have to be giving subsidies to people because it's more
expensive to manufacture here, and that's something we do already
with farm Like, like there are tools available to him
that he has no interest in using.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yeah, we have manufacturing still in this country. It just
doesn't look like it used to. The time that they're
fetishizing was a time of very powerful unions. The reason
that things worked back then was because of very powerful
unions that fought on behalf of the working people, the

(38:26):
people who like worked at companies and the So if
like you could rebuild manufacturing here, it's still going to
be predatory and the workers are still going to be
treated like shit and have to like get off work
at the factory and fucking drive uber.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
You know, like that's still going.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
To be the case because it's a system that completely
has given all the power to corporations. So like it's
the thing that they're looking back on, so finally fondly
is union membership and like a very strong yeah, the
thing that they think is communism. So so this is

(39:08):
going to be bad. The thing that these tariffs do,
it passes costs onto companies. As we've seen during the pandemic,
American companies do not take the hit, and they're like, well,
our stock price has gone down a little bit now
because of these things that are costing us money or

(39:28):
like making it harder for us to they pass those
costs onto consumers, and that in the form of inflation.
So we're, you know, we're going to feel the hit
of these tariffs. And then Trump is also trying to
get Jerome Pal, the head of the Fed, to cut

(39:49):
interest rates. But like, the thing that cutting interest rates
causes is inflation. So we're getting inflation from the tariffs.
And if he he has his way and fires Jerome
Pal and puts in like one of his yes men,
we're going to get inflation coming from that end, and
we could have you know, runaway inflation and all the like.

Speaker 5 (40:12):
That's Biden's thing. Man, what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Hey man, hey, hey man, it's kind of it's' fault.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
That.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, it's like all the all the economic like horror
stories like the Great Leap Forward where they tried to
make pig iron in their backyard and like on farms
instead of it's like, I don't know shit about economics
or economic history. But like the handful of like horror
stories I know are that and then like runaway inflation
where people are like bringing wheelbarrow wheelbarrows of like cash

(40:46):
to the bank, like and just like or like bring
it to the grocery store to buy like a gallon
of milk, like those everywhere like that.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Those are the.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Two things that are in play now with this brilliant
negotiator taking things over. So well, you know, he's a
shrewd negotiator and his ways are mysterious. Oh wait, no,
he's just a fucking idiot. It's just mysterious. What what
what is he thinking some of the time.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
But I think it's just self enrichment.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Yeah, that's also possible that he's just like, yeah, we're
gonna like fuck this.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
Up the economy, buy up a bunch of shit. I mean,
that's like the game plan.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
The The only problem is that he's the president of
the United States. This job problem, it's just the one problem.
If he didn't have such a high stakes job, this
wouldn't matter his personality and every of the billion things
they're wrong with that fucking guy. But yeah, no, if
only there was a way not to put him in
that job.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
You know, I think he might if we were like
we're bringing we're firing Jimmy found Who's the one who
has like the Johnny Carson Show, Like, now, is it
Jimmy Fallon?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
I think not a comedy fan, so I wouldn't I
know it is is?

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yeah, if they were just like we're firing Jimmy Fallon
and we want you to take over, sir. We just
need you to like resign the office of president, you know,
give it to whoever you want, but like we like
just his response when he found out that Sidney Sweeney
was a registered Republican, it was the happiest I've ever

(42:29):
seen him. I really think all he wants to do
is just get on TV for two hours a night
and riff and like think that he's funny and cool
and like, I feel like we might be able to
get it.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I think, and you change the title from Tonight's Show
host to Tonight's Show CEO, he would shows president. Yeah,
f're Tonight's show, And I think you would do it.
I think you're right, Like he just needs to feel important.
He needs to have some sort of power over a dominion.
This dominion is too big that he has right now,
give them a smaller. Our friends who work for the

(43:04):
Tonight Show, I know, I think they would go. I
think they would give it up. I think I think
so too Bear. Wait, yeah, all.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back,
and we're bag And as as we were talking about
before we started recording, possibly in the cold open, there's that.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Song home Here Do I Go Wrong with You?

Speaker 2 (43:44):
That is making the rounds everywhere, causing a reappraisal of
the hey ho stop clap stomp genre of like kind
of lo fi indie from the two thousand Hens. I
guess it was like that hey hose song about lumineers and.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
How's that go? Oh? They go hey and then they
go Okay. I understand why is it so catchy?

Speaker 5 (44:12):
It's abusive, It's but this is the one that I
have heard in the most Volkswagen commercials.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
I believe the home heard and the lyrics. So the
thing that I think people are responding to is the performance.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
First of all.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
It's like I think we all heard it in the
car commercials and assumed it was like some American idol
runner ups, like number five pop song.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
You know, I did.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
I did not know that this is what the people
look like. I'm going to now share my screen so
we can watch this. And there's nothing wrong with the
way they look. It's just not exactly.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah, don't neuter all my comments before I make Their.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Look is great. I think what they're doing is fantastic.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
It's good.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
So I'm playing the video without sound for you guys
so you can see the vibe of people.

Speaker 5 (45:13):
Is this a tiny desk concert?

Speaker 1 (45:15):
I can't tell.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
So it's a tiny desk concert, is what's going on?

Speaker 1 (45:20):
They had to hear that desk away.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
We're not gonna play the audio because a I will
crawl it and make us take this episode down. But
that that you gotta look at what they're what they're
looking like. She does herself in the head so far
that her little beanie falls off, and the lyrics are Alabama, Arkansas.
I do love my mom Pa, not that way that
I do love you. Well, holy holy me, oh my,

(45:48):
you're the apple, love my girl. I've never want loved
one like you. Man, oh man, you're my best friend.
I scream at to then.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Anyways, these word Jack's vows heavy pumpkin pie chocolate candy.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Jesus Christ, ain't nothing please me more than you, darling.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
So I do.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Jesus Christ. Jesus Sorry, Jesus Christ, I stepped in some
chocolate candy while I was writing my vowels.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Handy with Jesus Christ to hey, I write this ship.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
What is happening?

Speaker 1 (46:27):
It does? It does feel a little bit like that.

Speaker 5 (46:29):
It does feel a little bit like that.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I did not know they looked like this. The guy
looks like he has spent I don't know if he
has actual dreadlocks in this video, but he is flirting
with him and he has he is he is very
seriously considering it.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
It's the look is so bad. I'm going to I
hate what I'm about to say, but it's true. I
do have this album on the final oh man ed
I didn't know they looked like this, So this is
like music that It's like, Okay, I'm shuffling around my house,
you know, uh, paying outstanding bills and taking eviction notices

(47:11):
off my home and this is good to play in
the background during that.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
But the look of like a children's song is what?

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Like?

Speaker 2 (47:18):
That's what That's how I I felt like. I was like,
this is a good. This is good children's movie soundtrack
music like and so to have a guy who seems
like a cult leader singing it into the eyes of
somebody who appears to be on all sorts of drugs.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
She does.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
She looks like a child who is on drugs. That's
that's the energy.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I think that's what's throwing me. That's what throws means.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
That's what your hag off is David Koresh and the
Magnetic Zero.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Anyways, but this song, as much as every everybody's like
it's the worst written song of all time, and you know,
it's just it. I think again, it's doing what it
set out to do, which is the earnest as hell.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
And the one feels try hardy to.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Me, Oh so try hardy, But I think they're earnestly
trying it is the try hardest. Yeah, I think they are.
They they're trying so hard and they do not give
a fuck. Yes, try hard is one of the like
if you had to describe this in three words, like
I do feel like.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Try hard, try hard, Yeah, try hard. It's it's like
the audio equivalent of like p DA, you know, where
like you're in public and you see like a couple like.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Just like it's humiliating. The whole thing is humiliating. It's
so embarrassing. Yeah, what's that clip of is it Tyre
Banks saying?

Speaker 1 (48:49):
So you milliating?

Speaker 2 (48:52):
That's kind of how I feel watching this. I love her, Yeah,
truly giving us some of our great are great names,
uh speak of humiliating. I do want to move on
to a real world like kind of glass Onion situation,
real world White Lotus meets glass Onion meets Oscar after

(49:12):
Oscar's after party, and they like.

Speaker 5 (49:16):
I'm so intrigued.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
No unfortunately, I mean, I'm not gonna say unfortunately, but yeah,
it's for some reason they let a Vanity Fair reporter
tag along and like take acid with them on this
Ritz Carlton yacht cruise.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
So it's like a it's like, what what would a
what would a cruise.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Look like for Dakota Johnson, Kendall Jenner, Tom Brady, Orlando
bloom Farrell, Williams, Martha Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Ricky Martin,
Jaden Smith, Toby Maguire for some reason, Alicia Silverstone for
some reason, Janelle Monet, Sophia Vergara, and of course Unheardo

(50:00):
DiCaprio is there.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
You know, but this is a yacht. It's not a
cruise because like.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
It's but that many people.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
It's like a giant Yeah, it's like a mini ship,
giant yacht. And they're just like everybody is treated like that,
you know, like they I'm sure people were being carried
around like you know what I mean, like just like yeah,
nobody's they're just like piggyback, I said, piggyback like as

(50:33):
they just went from daker to dakery. They do still
drink dakeries, which I was a little disappointed, and throughout
I was like, is that that doesn't seem like it
seems like they should have some version of dakeries that's
like beyond what we have access to.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Well, we love Hemingway everyone.

Speaker 5 (50:49):
Yea, I have a dak Ray for you next time
we hang out.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
Next level doackries. Okay, it's not the stuff I'm picturing.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
I'm picturing the virgin I used to order it. Yeah,
Friday is it is nothing like that.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Picturing Tom Brady drinking a TGF Friday's Dachary with a
big dollop of a whipped cream on top as his
skin continues to constrict around.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Yeah, that's it does keep getting tighter. I guess it's
tightened a little bit.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I need a skin tightening at noon, so I gotta
go pretty soon.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
The article does note that the ship set sail as
the big beautiful bill was being passed, So like as
normal people are being robbed of their healthcare and like
this massive bill to make wealthy people more rich is passing.
These people are all getting on a massive yacht and

(51:47):
like the the one celebrity who was there that I
have to give a shout out to is Miguel the
musician is there, but he does not post about it,
and he's just there to perform. And then he gets
the fuck out, and I'm like, hell, yeah, we go
like that probably, but we just get these little little views,

(52:07):
these little pinhole views into like what these people are like.
So the writer is told that twenty eight year old
Brooks Nader is poised to be the breakout star of
what just breakout star of of this like influencer and parentheses,
A mover and shaker baby, says Sarah Jane. We'll get

(52:29):
to Sarah Jane.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
In a moment.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
The striking blonde is a former Sports Illustrated swimwear model,
and rumor has it is dating Brady, whose head I
can see across the deck in his new spectacles, a
six foot four library and I like that Tom Brady's
like wearing glasses to be like.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Then get hotter. He's a six foot four librarian. It's
like it's a new look for him and it sounds right.
I still want to fuck him. Lauren Sanchez that then
they say Lauren Sanchez Bezos first noticed Brooks on Instagram
and decided to befriend her. Sarah Jane tells me, so,
Lauren Sanchez Bezos, like Jeff Bezos's wife is just like

(53:09):
going around discovering people and being like you get to
come to our parties now, and like you're hot enough
to come to our party, right, jesus, Oh, this.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
Is so fascinating. I was wondering how all those people
wound up at their wedding, at the Bezos people their wedding,
Like what you're just you're just sending out like invitations
to everybody who is at what the oscars? Like, I
don't get what the metric is here, because you guys
aren't real friends, because you're barely even real people.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
They just they only surround themselves. There's a good quote
later from Martha Stewart that talks about this. Martha Stewart
is on another fucking planet.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
It's wild.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
But like Patrick Schwarzenegger, Kate Hudson, and Janelle Monet have
all been and things that are like about shit like this. Yeah,
they've been in like White Lotus and then Glass Onion,
which was about like a Elon Musk type inviting a
bunch of people on like a weird thing like this,

(54:14):
and like the writers like, so is this like weird
for you? Patrick Sarsner, He's like, you know, but what
am I gonna do? Say no to this horrifyingly humiliating thing.
Janelle Monet is like just straight up as like is
this glass Onion or what? Even Kate Hudson.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Is here, good for her? Yeah, just owns it.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
I will allow it with Janelle Monet because yeah, that's
Janelle Monae can do absolutely nothing wrong. I do want
to talk about Sarah Jane though, because she has some
great quotes defending Sanchez Bezoso. Yeah, she's got some things
to say. She's like, I guess Jeff Bezos is the
top of the richest people, but like there are a

(55:02):
lot of big people where it's like, yeah, it should
be like that. He made it fucking big and like
they've been in love for like years or something. They're
so secure and real. If the press was going to
attack her friends, emblematic of the age of oligarchs, well,
Sanchez doesn't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
It's fuel.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
I find that so inspiring. So just it's not it's just,
you know, she's aspiring to be a Kardashian and like this,
like fuck the poor thing. She's like so hungry for
wealth and fame and status, and like that hunger is

(55:41):
like powering her, you know. Like that, so she's like
both embarrassingly like bougie and into this shit and also
embracing that in a way that she should be embarrassed about,
but like a thing that should be embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Instead, she's like, that's my personality. Actually, this isn't one mistake.
This is me. This is just my shit, this is
my ship.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Yeah, this is being put on by a billionaire Israeli
billionaire who is a billionaire because he said, well, he
made his money by selling a poker site.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Yeah, so don't you feel silly toy if you're making
that statement.

Speaker 5 (56:26):
Yeah, poker not predatory at all.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
No, it's actually fine. He made his money off of
people's gambling addictions.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
The good old fashion.

Speaker 5 (56:33):
Yeah, the old fashioned, good old fashioned way.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
It's not some tech idiot a vulture. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
He talks to one of the people who like sells
these sorts of yacht experiences, and he says, say, you
want to go to Greece tomorrow, you go to Greece.
And then they explain it with with crypto and AI
cash piling up in recent years, the boats have to
get bigger. That's a very positive effect, but of course
still the ultimate luxury. So like it's they treat this

(57:03):
as like it's solving a problem that people have, which
is like too much money because of crypto and AI.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
So it's just you know, the.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Upward all of these new every new development that people
write about in the mainstream media and seem excited about
on Wall Street is all just ways to redistribute money upward.
And then those people, unfortunately, they have a problem they
have to deal with, which is like what am I

(57:33):
going to spend all this money on?

Speaker 1 (57:34):
And so it's small not definitely not a small shit boat.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Martha Stewart has some amazing quotes in here. So she's
talking about how, like she, it used to be cool
to be on yachts, but she says, I mean it's
almost common now extreme wealth. We know everybody that's really rich,
we know them all. I mean it started in the
nineteen nineties when I first went public with like her,

(58:03):
I'm Martha Stewart Omnimedia. I was hanging out with Bill
Gates and Charles Simonia.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
I don't know who that is.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
The and the Google Boys. I mean that's when it starts.
The Google boys, them Google boys, but uh now everybody
has one.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
She says. The reason he got a got.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Envy, why she's talking about next husband was when he
visited Ron Perlman's boat. I was on the board of
Revlon Like, it's just all the shit, I don't Yeah,
she's just going from one statement. She just seems so
like bored and just insulated.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
I was CEO of the Atlantic Ocean, so yeah, I
was on Ron Perlman's boat.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
At one point, she's slipping through her Instagram feed and
finds that she's just getting a lot of outrage comments
from fans. Somebody wrote, meanwhile, people can't afford food or rent.
And her agent leans over and whispers to me, to
the writer, there's not a better Instagram follow than Martha
Stewart forty eight at Martha Stewart forty eight.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
So that's yeah, next president.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Like they still they like know they get it. So
like the writers like does this bother you? What with
like Zoron Mamdani being nominated in New York and like
Donald Trump trying to like help billionaires, And she's like
the Roman Empire's coming to an end. I always get
that I'm mother hen I'm not supposed to be doing

(59:34):
this stuff. I'm supposed to be in the garden picking tomatoes.
So she turns it into like a women empowerment thing. Yeah,
and then she has a run where she's like mad
about people caving to Donald Trump. But then she goes
on to say, I'm a great admirer of Elon Musk
and what he's done. He's an inventor. He's like the

(59:54):
Michael Angelo of our time. And look what's happening to him.
Even he is struggling and there's very little he can
do until something big happens.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
People hate him. I mean I had to put my
tesla in the garage, and I like, my tesla? What
kind do you have? The fanciest one, self driving tesla?

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
Even my daughter won't take it, and she's an environmentalist,
she won't take it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
I can't give this fucking thing away. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Then there's like a model dancing and she's like, keep dancing,
you're setting the vibe.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Girl. Oh why, oh why?

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
Toby Maguire is there with his teenage son. Everyone's doing
small doses of LSD, getting shit fased on margs and daks,
and just like go back and forth between talking about
how surreal it is to be famous and around this
many other famous people, and then like trying to justify
why it's okay, and yeah, it's just they're like LARPing

(01:00:59):
as people from before we knew that this is unsustainable.
It feels like they're like, yeah, this feels like the
nineties anyways.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
Uh, it just it feels like. Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Also, at the end, as the guy's getting off the boat,
he gets a call from like one of the people
involved with organizing it, and they're like, oh, could you
not say that this person was there? Also this person
And then like a little later they're like, actually, you
can't write this article. He's like, yeah, sorry, I was there.
You let me there. Yeah, I'm allowed to say what

(01:01:33):
I saw. But makes sense that they wouldn't want him
to say that. It's just I guess they get they're
getting a little lazy and they chose not to like
car bomb him or whatever. Likes a person who the
Panama Papers.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
Yeah, oh brutal.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Anyways, how sick would it have been to be there?
You guys write the amount of stuff I would have stolen.

Speaker 5 (01:02:00):
All these people were doing drugs. I just be like
checking all of the doors to all of their friends.
You're gonna sell all this ship on eBay and then
just like give all the money away help someone pay
their rent. Like I would have been a problem on this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
But like the FORCA signal.

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
And like pointing it directly into the water, like I
would have been a major fucking problem. So I don't know.
I'm not sick for me personally.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
There's that high pitched squeal that don't ask, don't ask
about it's fine.

Speaker 5 (01:02:32):
Two more drugs, two more drugs, two.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
More drug drugs. This is going to really freak you out.
Winger on LSD and the and the Orc is finally up.
They can smell it. They can smell the LSD through
the whole of the boat. Orcas love LSD. They can't
get enough of it. Their whole world's one big acid trip,
those stupid fish.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
I will, I will admit that I'm a little hostile
to this because I'm fucking a hater and I'm jealous,
and like I just am not on my grind set
hard enough, and like I wish I could have done that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
You know, one of these.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):
Days I'll taste what a true dacory taste like in
the mouth of Tom Brady. That makes it sound like
I want him to baby burd it to me, which
is fine. And that's how they drink.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
There's no straws. They have to regurgitate food to one
another just so it doesn't get contaminated by the upper
middle class.

Speaker 5 (01:03:29):
I feel like that was the Epstein thing. I don't
know if that was this yacht specifically.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
You're right, gets I confuse these two things. All it's
easy to do.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
We have no glasses on this on this island, all
drinks are mixed in mouths and regurgitated between guests. Toy,
such a pleasure having you as always on the Daily
zeit Geist. Where can people find you? Follow you all
that good stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:03:55):
Yeah, definitely. I have some podcasts that I do. You
can find me there. White Homework that I do with
Benjamin Fay. We talk about collective liberation, anti racism, and
then I do a podcast called Go Home Bible You're
Drunk with Justin Gentry and we talk about what it's
like to survive all of the fascism when you grew

(01:04:18):
up in all of the pre fascism of you know,
just really hyper conservative evangelicalism. So yeah, I'm on Blue
Sky occasionally Tory Glasts Guide to Social That's usually where
you can find me.

Speaker 1 (01:04:34):
So yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
What I'm up to is there a work in media
that you've been enjoying?

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
You know?

Speaker 5 (01:04:39):
Prop posted I don't know if it was like a
tweet or a thread or something. It just really spoke
to me. He goes, Look, man, when speaking on black people,
anything said after the blacks in your sentence will most
likely make me want to punch you with a throat.
The blacks is the road ends and one hundred feet
of your sentence.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
And I was like, that is for me, my god,
prop is the best.

Speaker 1 (01:05:06):
Wait, where can people find you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Is there a working media you've been enjoying?

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
People can find me at Blake Wexler on all social media.
I'm going to be doing my reviews are in show
in Philly on August twenty third. I'm going to be
in Wilkes Baerry, Pennsylvania doing stand up August twenty ninth
to thirtieth, and then coming up Ashville, Arkansas, Boston. I
also posted a video where I accidentally offered to suck

(01:05:31):
off an entire audience of Daily zeyicing members, So you
can check that out on my Instagram and then also
work of media. So this is not if you're not
a sports fan. This you don't have to be a
sports fan who enjoy this. There is a announcer for
the Phillies named John Cruck and he I don't know
if he's losing his mind or what's happening, but he
starts rambling during like these broadcasts about the craziest stories.

(01:05:54):
Like John Oliver did a segment on him where he
started talking about like playing in a prison. He's nuts.
So he had another one that happened the other night
where this Instagram account it's called the Philly fly fl
Y posted about it, and he started talking about how
you can just in the middle of a baseball game,

(01:06:15):
if you apply twenty five pounds of pressure to a
human ear, you could rip it off someone's head. He
just started talking about that during a baseball game. And
then he was like, Oh, I was at a museum
and I learned it. And the other announcer goes, when
were you at the museum and the guy goes crook
goes what day is it? And he goes, It's Monday,
and he goes, yesterday. That just doesn't matter. So the

(01:06:40):
guy's completely losing it. So yeah, if you get a chance,
you won't have to be a sports fan. You can
just appreciate an old man slowly losing his mind during
a baseball game. So yeah, amazing workmedia.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
I've been enjoying tweet from Demia did you eBay at
electro lemon on Twitter tweeted, Oh, that trailer is bad.
The movie must not be good, you goon, you stooge.
Listen to yourself. A marketing team's trying to make your
movie averse. Aun't buy a ticket and you want to
take them at face value. You are weak. You won't
survive the winter. You should be put down like a dog.

(01:07:17):
I fully agree. I'm not gonna fully endorse that idea.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Yeah, movie trailers are not always indicative of quality of movie.

you're listening to it, and underneath the show description you'll

the information that we talked about in today's episode. We
also link off to a song that we think you
might enjoy. Super producer Justin is there a song that
you think the people might enjoy?

Speaker 3 (01:07:55):
Yeah, this song has a big lo fi sound that
has like a slow tempo that makes a lot of
space for them.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
It's gonna no, it's not gonna help, no, I thought,
because it's low five.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
No, I mean no that okay, it's a ry no,
we can stop that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
Uh man, you really threw me off there.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
So the song is as a slow tempo, it has
a lot of space for the dreamy chords and the
silky vocals. Fittingly, it starts off with the sound of
like a river or a creek and a forest or something,
because it really makes me feel like I'm floating in
warm water. So this song is called Meeting Pharaoh by
Jadu Hart and you can find that song in the footnote.
