Producers from the rest of Please Please The original Sin Yeah,
it wasn't Adam and Eve with the fucking apt No.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
It wasn't sexy Leaves.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I wonder do you think Christians feel like they would
feel some kind of way about them saying the original
sin was hiding Joe Biden's cognitive decline and not the
original sin the condition.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I mean, very close for someone to someone making that

We'll go with Bether. We're gonna get to know even Betther, Francesca.
What are we gonna talk about today? We're gonna check
in on Trump's big beautiful bill whatever. We'll talk about

(08:23):
how just it's just riddled with fuckery as it were.
We'll also talk about Trump. Really he got chipped by
Bruce Springsteen's talking a bunch of shit on stage in
the UK that now he is calling for an investigation
into the Boss and beyond, saying Oprah among others, for
endorsing the losing candidate. I don't know sure, man.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
That is a fucking sick ass blood rotation.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah wait, Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce bro, Yeah, who do you
think Yeah, I mean, Beyonce talks about smoking weed, but
she doesn't. She doesn't really strike me as a stone's too.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
She's too oc d.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Even the Cowboy Carter tour, there was so much smoking
imagery coming from her. I was like, what the fuck? Like,
I was really like, cigarettes are back, and Beyonce's saying
cigarettes are back.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
She wanted people to stop eating meat, and now she's like,
never mind cigarettes, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Never mind, let's just let's just have some cognac. So
we'll talk about that. Uh, and then we are just
dystopia becoming realer by the day and more vivid and stupider.
The ice reality show that Christy Nome is teaming up
with the producer of Duck Dynasty for that's ay we
will talk about because somehow that Daily Mail is the

(09:42):
outlet that got their hands on the fucking pitch deck
for this legitimate TV production they're trying to like get
made green lay it's I can't even okay. I'll tease
the story by saying they're coming up with a reality
show where contestants vy for a American citizenship as the
grand prize. There will be only one winner and then

(10:04):
it will turn into the running man.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I have a very controversial take. You gotta wait for.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
It, and it's coming up in the third act. Don't skip,
don't skip, don't skip.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Unless I run my mouth so much in the fact
one and two, we don't even get.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
To it that you or you figure it out. Who
knows either way? Here we are.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
Reality, so you get bagged and actually, yeah, baby, uh Francisco,
what's something from your search history that's revealing about who
you are?

Speaker 4 (10:34):
So I was looking at my duck duck go, which
is what I used to search things, obviously because maximum privacy,
maximum quackery.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
M h and uh.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
I found this search history that was like from a
few days ago that was just baby airplanes overhead. I
was like, what the fuck was I looking?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Can you think about like when I say those three words,
what was I trying to look up? Baby? Oh, it's
for overhead.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
One of those things for a crib like.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
No, no, like a mobile, like a mobile? No, a mobile? Baby? Okay,
baby airplanes overhead. So it's it's not a mobile airplane mobile.
It's that you were looking for maybe some kind of
baby accessory that could go in the overhead. Yes, like
a stroller.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
I was image searching because back in like the sixties, right,
you know, airline travel was a lot calmer. It was
a lot chiller. Like now, you know, climate change is
ruined all the jet streams and you know, everything's crazy turbulence,
say nothing of the FAA. But back in the day,
they would put babies in the overhead compartment like a

(11:42):
little sling and they could just sleep there. And look,
I don't of course, it wasn't safe. Nothing was safe.
There weren't even car seats back then. But like, it's
just so I love the image of that. And I
was sending it to a mom friend of mine, like,
you know what happened? America used to be great?

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, exactly, we're chicken shit now you.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
You've seen them, right, they're just like like little baby
and you can't I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Know, Oh my god, so crazy. Shout out to man,
Shout out to the sixties man, like, yeah, we're smoking
a yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Beyon bringing it back. Maybe she'll bring that back.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Too, Yeah, bring back babies in overhead.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
That's so good in the fifties. Look at that baby.
See there's then there's plenty of space. Now you're just
figuring out how to squeeze in a coach.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
God damn it. When America used to be some we
had Jim Crow laws and babies could be in the
overhead exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Take us back, Beyonce, so funny, baby overhead.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Baby overhead, shout out overhead projectors too. Did you guys have, Francisca,
I know you're requisitely elder enough to remember overhead projectors
for school? Oh they still do those? Oh yeah, you
had them too? Oh hell yeah, okay, so they still
fuck with overhead projectors with the visa V pens on
a transparency I think it's a It's.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
An easier way than like a whiteboard.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, because you don't have to get up You're like, yeah,
let me just write on this light box? Mean?

Speaker 4 (13:00):
Or are you just using your computer these days? I
love just watching the teacher's hand like erase everything they
just wrote. If they were a lefty, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
This smudge yeah yeah, or they had to do that
like crazy hook hand to be like, I will not
smear the ink that I'm writing. It's a poor lefties man,
poor lefties indeed. Yeah, I can't election can barely get
people to trying to say, what's some any thing is underrated.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Francesca underrated, so I don't know if it's underrated yet.
So this is maybe jumping the gun, but I just
want to name. I'm a really big Caliu Cheese fan.
Oh yeah, she is, you know, Colombian American singer. She's
just got like this gorgeous, amazing voice. I love a
good female vocalist. And I was about to sleep on

(13:50):
her new album because I was like, she's a mom.
I literally judged as a mother another mother, going like
this one's probably not that good because I didn't feel
very creative in the first year of my kid's life.
I felt like I didn't write, don't right. But then
so then I was like that that's probably nothing good.
I fucking listened to it, and it just like blew
my mind. It's beautiful. And I realized, actually, if you're

(14:12):
a songwriter and you're like singing lullabies to a baby,
it's nothing but creativity because all you do is like
make up songs for a kid, and and it just
it's just it's equal parts Bond, Amy Winehouse, Elvis Presley,
but with Kylie Ucci's and it's so beautiful and like,
I don't know efeal. I don't know what the word is,

(14:33):
but I'm like, I'm I love this new album. So
I'm blaming myself for for preemptively underrating this new album.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Okay, her album is great, but the baby's not so good. Okay,
you have the album baby.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Something to do like the health of the child. I
was like, what, Noah, the baby's very.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Mid the album gonna pretty. The baby not her best work,
you know, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
I'm sure it's adorable.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
She is she showing face or no, she's doing the
right thing.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
I think she's doing like covering face. I decided to
get rid of that recently because I was like, you know,
I had this moment. I was like, you know what,
my fucking kid is so cute right now. I don't
think she's ever she might not even be cuter, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
But also it's been posting bits with the baby since
like last Year's totally right, you're not wrong.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
But I would always cover it. And I was like,
you know what, why she's adorable here, like take all
of her you know, facial show the guy.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
But this motherfucker is so litigious. Man, he was his lawyer,
will get my just get Yeah, he's a fucking diva. Man,
what can I do? Yeah? Anyway, Francesca, what's the me?

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Thing?

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Is underrated?

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Overrated?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh? Overrated? Yeah? Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
And why you you know New York University is over.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
As someone school certainly is that exempt.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
As someone who went to NYU, as someone who graduated
from Gallatin, the school that Logan Rossos got graduated from,
the valedictorian who has then since denied his diploma for
speaking about Gaza during his speech. Let me just say
I knew it at the time. It is insanely overpriced.

(16:29):
It is a bullshit school. It is like there is
no campus. You're simply paying for the privilege of living
in Lower Manhattan.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Timothy Chalamy gave most of them chlamydia. That's a rumor, but.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I like reading it.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
I fully believe that.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
But you can hang out in Washington Square Park.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
No, you know, I got my ass grab in Washington
Square Park like this. You should know a seventeen eighteen
year old should not be going to NYU. And the
kids are so dumb. And I was a create like
I was a rabbit, anti war activist. Nine to eleven
happened my first year, got involved in the anti Iraq
war movement. It's Afghanistan war movement. Like I was skipping
classes left and right. I had, you know, my own.

(17:09):
NYU was a real yeah hotbed. We were we were
we were like you know, doing sit ins and dyings
and details, and we.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
An incubator for extremism. It was a total.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Incubator for extremism. But it is so as a school,
it is so fucking overrated. Do not pay for that school.
Do not send your kid to that school. There is
no campus. Like the part of the thing about going
to school is like you like, sit on a grassy
lawn and read a book. You can't do that anywhere
in New York at NYU, and I just I love
uh sounds like Zach Woods a Grassy Knoll franchise, Yes,

(17:45):
the Grassy Knol and get get radicalized.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
You've been yearning for a knoll to perch.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Upon pretty much, I mean ever since. But yeah, the
actor Zach Woods has an incredible, hilarious takedown of NYU
and what they just did and just talking about it
being like an overrated cliche of a fucking school.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's underrated. How many comedians come out of fucking n
y U. I think a lot of people don't realize
that there's just like a whole school. It's like a
whole school mafia, like in Hollywood. So many people coming
out of I'm like.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
They talking about that they knew they were going to
be a mafia. But A Seasons went to Stern Business
School during the same around the same time I went
to stun And all I did when I.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Was no way and now you're only podcasting.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
I was just gonna say that it's funny because all
I did is an undergrad at NYU was get into
arguments with Stern Business School dipshits about free market capitalism
and like in my colonialism studies classes and all these
you know assholes. Right, I'm assuming Disease was just more
of a chill like kept his head down kind of

(18:55):
Stern Business School. But really funny that he became a comic.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Hey man just doing sick. It's just like raising his
voice and doing inflections at random moments. Dude, Oh fucking yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well that's seventy five percent of a comedian's job. That
is twenty is posting clips.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Who is it? Someone there was someone who like roasted
Rogan to their face about that it's like if you're
humping the air, like you're not a like you've lost
you've lost it all.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
If you're humping Nick Jessel Nick.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
No, it was like an older comedian. It was like
an og and it was like kind of er or something.
I forget who it was, but like he had Rogan
on as a guest or he was as a guest
and just said it to Joe Rogan's face, like that's
his whole schnick is humping a stool. And then it
was just kind of like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah, I get that, sure, Like sometimes I haven't seen
a single Rogan bit, but did he Is he a
stool humper?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
He's a stool humper.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
I feel like I saw his special, But I also
feel like I haven't seen a single Rogan bit.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, I've only seen it from seeing like cut downs
of other like luckily on YouTube, there's a whole ecosystem
where people were like, look, we get it. You know,
Joe Rogan sucks. Here's let me do a fucking escape
of how bad his last special it was. And you're like,
like a cam exactly exactly, exactly exact.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Jeff Garland said, that is what're.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Saying Jeff Garland. Yep, that's what it was. It was
Jeff Garland. It's just like to his face. Anyway, let's
take a quick break. We'll come back and we'll talk
Trump's big beautiful bill that's an ugly piece of fucking shit.
Right after this and we're back. Trump's tax bill was

(20:41):
finally it got out of committee over the weekend. It
died on Friday, and I was like, oh, look at
this chip Roy found a backbone. I mean, he's always
been a pretty big deficit hawk, but he like him
along with I think six other Republicans tanked it on Friday,
only for them to do whatever they had to do,
because you know, Jesus jerk off eye. Speaker of the

(21:01):
House Mike Johnson was like, what do you guys need
for me to for for for you guys to at
least let this thing get out of committee. Apparently they
made I was like.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
That sounds like a my pillow guy.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I don't know. It was a disparent.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Here.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Well, no, I think as long as we came together
with a common sort of understanding about how we're going
to move forward with this.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Now, I'm sorry Obama going with this story.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
He's very but Mike Johnson is very one note like that,
and it's very you know, you're the same. Look, man,
I don't even do a good.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Obama, but Coolidge Miles do it.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Oh my god, I'm back. So anyway, this thing is now,
This is now the real fucking this is the this
is the time. Are they going to ram through this
reconciliation bill that basically has all of the things Donald
Trump want for his agenda right? Like, he needs he

(22:03):
needs to make sure that the Trump tax cuts don't expire.
He wants to increase military and immigrant harassment spending. He
needs a bigger budget for that. He needs to raise
the debt ceiling because I mean, I thought this was
to attack the debt, but also we need we kind
of needed some room there to have a higher deficit.
And then part of all that is to power this
by slashing so many social programs it even makes Republican

(22:25):
members of Congresses. I believe they're like, I, this actually
will decimate rural healthcare systems if we do this, what
am I supposed to do? So this was all happening.
Moody's also downgraded our credit rating, just you know, sure,
that's fine, It's fine. It's all just fine, but there's
still just a ton of disagreement, like within the party,

(22:46):
Like there's some that are arguing, like these cuts aren't
deepened off, we need no one to have not seing
is one strategy. Then other people like, you know, cutting
medicaid is a non starter for me, There's no way
I can go to my district and be like, yeah, man, you're.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Fucked terrified of the town halls.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, already already. And then others take an issue with
like the number of clean energy projects that are being gutted.
Some are saying not enough clean energy projects are being gutted.
There's this. Then you have all the New York, New Jersey,
California Republicans who are like, we need our salt tax
cap raised or abolished completely. So everyone has like their
own specific thing. How Mike Johnson makes all of this

(23:25):
work we are yet to see. But he has pressure
because he's been telling Trump, I'm gonna have this on
your desk by Memorial Day, baby, so we can really
fucking kick this thing off. But yeah, is so.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Interesting is that, like they could just do this the
way they did the first Trump tax cuts, which is
be utter hypocrites about the deficit, which is again kind
of largely made up depending on how you look at it,
and just ram them through anyway, and add four trillion
more dollars to the deficit like those tax cuts.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Did, and ave five five five billion.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Oh thank you. Yeah, you could write off your sixty
million dollars private jet. That was one of the many
things in addition to your yachts. But the fact that
they're trying, they want to do this big, beautiful bill.
They're trying to do everything in budget reconciliation, remember, which
was where also the Democrats in twenty twenty one tried
to get through like a fifteen dollars minimum wage and

(24:21):
then Kirsten Centima voted that shit down. But like, this
is what's so difficult about all this is that you
can't please every single person, and you're being totally dishonest
because all this bill is about is simply a wealth
transfer to the richest people. So stop talking about medicaid.
Don't even make it about medicaid. Find the money somewhere else,

(24:41):
or don't find it at all. Just live in your
own hypocrisy.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
This is going to help man when all the billionaires
get a tax cut it's gonna trickle fucking in a direction.
It will trickle.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Someone understand, I want to be a richer while immigrants
skip poor.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
This is great want people. Okay, this is for you.
This bills for you. Actually we found something. There's a
whole trillion dollars to terrorize immigrants in here.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Okay, this is really important. Yeah, I mean that's fucking insane.
Well the same time, you're like, oh, sorry, we can't
so not only is a direct wealth transfer to the
wealthy already wealthy, it's a wealth transfer to you're not
going to have healthcare, disabled person, poor child, new mother
you were, because we have to round up children and

(25:29):
women and grandmothers with all of this, you know, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Three year old's immigration court.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Do you think can hunt island costs nothing? We're hunting
men on the island.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
How do we how do we populate said island?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
We have to set out the mines. That's expensive.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
There's like, you know, reporting that. Trump is definitely trying
to manage all of it too. Like it sounds like
the people that are sort of in battleground districts he's
kind of becoming a little more sensitive to because he
does not want to lose a Chamber of Congress in
the midterms, Like that's a huge thing for him. So
even now he's kind of like trying to be like,
what the how do I fucking have it all ways

(26:11):
at the same time, because he definitely doesn't want to
have a bunch of Democrats and have enough power to
do investigations and he has to defend himself against you know,
his own fucking actions.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
But then so he wriggled out of that.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Just fine, Yeah, yeah, don't worry. They won't anyway, even
with the majority. Yeah, saw what happened in the last
four years. Oh my god, remember that when they beg
you for your vote again, be like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Sorry, what happened last time? And what will you do
different this time? You're like, well, we aren't them at least, Oh,
we're back to the same thing. You're not them.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
We're gonna slowly think about possibly holding Donald Trump accountable.
But democracy, let's decided by the ballad box.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
A just give me five dollars, just for the love
of god, I just need five more dollars.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
I'm upset as you are.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
There was a video of her recently. I thought was
a I I was I'm not mostly because.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
It would be the first congress person to.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
It was the cadence. I was like, it's a little jilted, Like,
I was like, what's going on.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
I was like, oh, it got left at the altar.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, she's she was. She was just I don't know
how that came out, but yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Just being an asshole.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
No, No, I love it, and I think I do
want to think of it like that. She was left
at the altar, you know, and that's why she talks
like that.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Her dentures, her dentres were like sorry, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
So the other thing too, is like a lot of
the shitty cuts that are being proposed, like cuts to
snap or like Medicaid, they're timing those so they don't
hit until the end of his turn to basically make
a fucking catastrophe for the next administration, which could be.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Him exactly want to run again.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
But it's weird. He's doing the sort of maneuvering as
if he's like, man, I'm gonna be out after this,
but at least we can reset the clock on making
the Democrats be responsible for a financial situation we could
be doing.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
He's acting as so he's going to be out in
like another month, like with the amount of shit he's
done so far, totally.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
So I mean that's what's crazy about this whole And
it has like been only over a few whatever, like
three and a half days.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah yeah, Like it's just like Brint, not a marathon,
and we're like yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yeah, yeah, flow your role. There's plenty of time to
destroy everything.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah past yourself. Hello, Like don't burn all your capital,
your political capital like that in one go. It stretched
it out a little bit. Don't do this big, beautiful
bil I mean.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
This is what they're doing, right, because this is they
could not in twenty seventeen cut Obamacare. That was remember
the town hall's there, so.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
They have to kill it indirectly.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah right, but it is still a massive swing to
even say the word medicaid. I mean, good on media
whatever is left of it for making that the sole issue.
But some Republicans are walking into that trap of being like, well, medicaid,
you know a lot of people are lying when they're
on it, and they're openly saying this, the disabled people
are lying about it, right, and it's like mm m

(29:13):
ooh that's not going to play well at all. So
Donaldan should be fucking worried. And I think this is
where the pressure points are. I don't give a shit
about the other ones who are like, oh, we haven't
felt enough, cut shut up. It's the people who are
scared of their own constituents.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, who know they're like this has this, there will
be fallof and this. Like even Josh Holly's like, y'all
don't fucking medicaid. I don't know, bro, And I'll do
the thing where I sound like I'm going to be
the first one out to try and get myself covered
to act like the most sane guy in the Senate
by being the first one to be like, that's political suus.
I would not do that. That's immoral. And then but
I won't stop it if it happens exactly, But will you.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Need to backtrack and get back in Trump's graces later,
Like everybody has done it. So it's a lot easier
to go out and object and then go back in.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
But the groceries, you know, it's such an old fashioned termline.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
When I came out, but that term, I remember, the
year was eighteen fifty nine. I came up with the
term groceries. It was a fantastic day.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Eat those groceries.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
We were right in the precipice of the Civil War.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
I was doing It's just god, yeah, I was doing
Lingis on one of my friends.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
And I realized, I said, I did the best Jana Lingis.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I didn't have a thing of saying I ate the
ass light and then aha groceries.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
You know, I taught o Mari on those those movies.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
It just wasn't hitting when I said I ate the
ass like my hull when I got back from the
general store with salt, pork and the like included, and
I needed something a little bit more concise.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
I also gave him the idea for ice box.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
So one of the things like for just just the
things that are timed differently, like snap benefits, right, Uh,
they wouldn't shift the cost to the states for snap
benefits until fiscal year twenty twenty eight Medicaid work requirements
that Republicans are being like, this will this will be
like a good three hundred billion dollars hit of savings
that won't begin until twenty twenty nine. So they're doing

(31:04):
They're trying to do as much too, with also sweeteners
to be like there'll be a new senior Victory Fund
grant you can get or a baby.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Reinventing the shit that we already have.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
They's just well, I don't like but even the thing
like right, like the the cutting the taxes on tips
and things like that, those aren't even while he did
say that, and it's popular, like the economists that like
are talking about this are saying like it's not gonna
be that big of a thing. This is quote. It
says the proposed tax cuts only apply to income taxes,
not payroll taxes. That means the estimated thirty seven percent

(31:37):
of tipped workers in the country who didn't make enough
money to face federal income taxes in twenty twenty two
that's when this analysis happened, would see no benefits from
this proposal. This is another economistic quote. It is also
going to do very little for workers even that received
tips at the low to middle part of the income
distribution tax.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
Relacis or center tips accurately if at all.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Come on, Yeah, literally just dangling Keith, hoping we'll get distracted.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Sure, truly truly, like there's a lot of stuff that
they want to be like, look, everything that's gonna be
great now, but only to throw money on like, you know,
this is different than twenty seventeen when like interest rates
weren't as high, like getting going even further into the
muck with like this dumb like all this ridiculous spending
is just gonna keep us pretty entrenched in this this

(32:23):
situation we're in, if not worse, maybe who knows. But again,
the thing that can potentially be on the side of
maintaining the terrible status quo we have now is that
just all the Republican infighting. But Trump is determined because again,
none of his policies are popular enough to just pick
on a vote on its own. So it has, like

(32:44):
to your point, Francesca, it has to happen through reconciliation.
Because he's said, hey, I need a one trillion dollar
let's terrorize the immigrants fund. They're gonna say get like, no,
no one's gonna fucking vote.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
They're also gonna say, how you're gonna pay for it? Right,
And so that's why they have to do it by
cutting Medica, which then yeah, but this has always been
the Republican's problem when they're in the majority too, they're
always infighting because you know, it's all between you know,
the budget hawks, and then just like the anti immigrant
psychos who are like, hey, we didn't take down every

(33:17):
single gay flag in this bill, didn't say to, you know,
burn them. So I'm not going to vote for this.
And everyone's got their little pet issue, but they again
I can't believe again we're still like we've stopped talking
about Elon a little bit, but like we should not.
You know, the dozer is A is doing are still

(33:38):
and the access to our information is still very alive.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
We talked about that on yesterday's episode about how like
there's this article in Politico that's trying to act like
Elon's gone away, and I'm like, you guys are fucking
playing yourselves and their readers by being like and he's gone.
Trump doesn't even talk about him. It's like there's again
Trump is not turning his back on the richest man
in the world who got him into office and who
knows what other fucking shit that he helped enable like just

(34:01):
with his money and influence, like to then be like
and and now like none of the Republicans are talking
about it's like you're just gearing up for mid terms,
so people can't be like Elon Musk is doing all
this stuff, but let's be real, he's staying he's a
stain on fucking everything.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yep, no Elon's gone. We're fine on that. And Biden
was actually a good guy. And don't look at his reel.
It's not doing anything right now, don't worry about it
even do anything.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
They're just you know, there's just a terrible spike in
the humanitarian crisis there with the lack of any just
like they're continuing to bomb hospitals. Nothing has changed nothing.
So anyway, we'll see what happens with this endeavor that
the Republicans are, you know, getting ready to undertake this week.
So hopefully, I don't know, hopefully it fizzles out, but

(34:44):
they're gonna they're definitely gonna do fucking everything they can
to try and get as many Yes, well it's as possible,
but the margins are thin, like Walmart's profits margins, as
they say, that's why they're worried about the tariffs next one.
So I don't know, if you say the clip of
like Bruce Springsteen just like just you know, doing like
very boilerplate criticism of Donald Trump. He's like he's a

(35:07):
moral he's corrupt.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
DeNiro like DeNiro's taking a stand against him. Just that guy.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, I mean, at least he said funk. That guy
made Bruce was hey, man, this guy's bad, and I'm like, yeah,
that's true. I think he was in the UK when
he said that.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
So that was there's some things happening, not good things
in the world.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, some bad stuff like what specifically, I'm a little
too insulated to know specifically what things, but I hear
it's bad and corrupt.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Podcast partner used to tell me some stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Oh, Barry used to tell me some wild stuff man,
about the the way that we can use drones now
to do ship I had no idea, had no idea
what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
I'm talking about some other stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Donald Donald Dump. That's him. He's back. So he said this.
This set off a fucking truth social storm on Monday
morning at one thirty four a m. This is what
Trump just for whatever reason, starts shit posting quote. How
much did Kamala Harris pay Bruce Springsteen for his poor

(36:19):
performance during her campaign for president? Why did he accept
that money? If he's such, if he's such a fan
of hers, isn't that a major and illegal campaign contribution?
What about Beyonce, he did put the accent mark on the.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Ero, he would have died.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
In fact, he doesn't. He doesn't want to smoke behind.
He doesn't want the Hive pair, I guess, or maybe
Seattle correct. And how much went to Oprah and Bono.
I'm going to call for a major investigation into this matter.
Candidates aren't allowed to pay for endorsements, which is what
Kamala did under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition,

(36:55):
this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially
build up for whatever. Bah blah blah blah blah. It's
fucking nonsense.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
How much has Vanilla Ice gotten for performing at mar
A Lago? Like the money that they have to shell
out to get anyone to show up right to their shit?
I mean, Snoop Snoop was at their inauguration. Carrie Underwood
was at the inauguration. But that being said, I also
kind of want an investigation on how much money was

(37:22):
spent on celebrities. A billion dollars in what was it
three months that the Harris campaign spent but it is
it's just so fragile.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
You won, you wont so, motherfucker You're out here switching
up fucking Pardons to get black people to wear MAGA
hats like fucking Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. Like, what
are we talking about? You're the most transactional motherfucker we've ever.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Boss gott mad at me.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
That just shows you. I don't I.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Don't want anybody from Jersey to get.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
We call him the boss anyway, imagine boss.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Well, he may be the Boss, but I'm the commander
in chief. So so fuck out of here and everything
he said because he's so he loves Bruce Springsteen music.
You know that's true. Like he's played it. They've told him, bro,
do not play this ship. He played it at a
thing in New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I think it also feels like music of Oh.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
No, he said something, or maybe he was talking shit
about I know at one point he liked Bruce Springsteen.
But then Bruce Springsteen's like, now, fuck out of here,
and then he's like, whatn't fuck you then forever?

Speaker 4 (38:21):
And it's yeah, I never liked you anyway, yo. I
it's also just really terrifying because I just saw this
an hour ago. I guess the president of CBS is resigning,
singing the company and I don't agree on the path forward,
likely in relationship to the Trump lawsuit, because Trump again

(38:41):
is trying to sue CBS for editing an interview with
Kamala Harris to make her sound minimally more cogent, because
of course, everyone should edit those fucking interviews. It was
a funny, funnily enough, an interview question about Gaza. It
was long winded. They edited it. They do this all
the time. I'm Fox News edited the ship out of

(39:02):
their like one one with Donald Trump with the campaign trail,
making him look far more you know, sane, And it's
just it's just scary, right because you're like this kind
of retribution or whatever he's doing all these investigations, like
i mean, look, anything to take the heat off, Like
I don't know, a woman selling to Molly's on the street,
Like that's good. Like, but I'm also like people are capitulating,

(39:26):
you know, Like what's.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah, wait, so is did the CBS the head of
CBS resign because they wanted to capitulate.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
That's unclear.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Yeah, we don't know, but that's unclear.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
So it could be like she was like, no, I'm
I think we should pay Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
And that's probably that makes more sense, because then they
would be like, well, I don't want smoke, I'm gonna resign.
And then they're like, what do you think?

Speaker 4 (39:47):
I think she resigned because she doesn't want to pay.
She probably wants to fight it.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Oh, And then the pressure is to be like fucking right.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Oh, we need that money to pay for more TV
shows about Askan Warvitz or what ever. And they're pet
Indians who are supposed to play aff gamings.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah, and liked because there was like, uh, I mean
the ship is still going back and forth within sixty
minutes to be like, man, funk out of here, bro,
you're not gonna tell us what to do, and there's.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yeah there and yeah, and they're had, oh.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
My god, to just go cry on your big pile
of money.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
How much I.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Would love to cry on a big pile of money.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
I know.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Do you think you'd be able to even cry? Like wait,
hold the I'm on a pile of money?

Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah, like really beautiful decent proposal.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, My way through it just
gabbing your eyes with your fucking hundred dollars bills and
they get a terrible eye infection because money is filthy.
All right, let's take a quick break.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
You can buy healthcare.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Hey you can. We'll come back to talk about the
American dream, but the one you win via reality show
after this and we're back. So there was a story

(41:12):
last week that was popping up that was like Christy
nom DHS secretary teaming up with the fucking guy who
made Duck Dynasty to pitch a show that makes a
mockery of citizenship and the plight of people seeking refuge
in this country. Say it ain't so. Yeah, there's a
full deck. The Daily Mail has like the entire deck
and has just been describing this is a first of all,

(41:33):
this is a real fucking thing that Christy Nome the
Department of Homeland Security and Rob Warsow, who's the writer
and producer and Canadian ew that made Duck Dynasty. By you,
why are you acting like maga bros? You're Canadian. Don't
do that, don't be lost, don't be a token immigrant. Okay,

(41:54):
you don't have to fall in line and be one
of these maga people. But anyway, here they are. They've
got this show. They've been pitching it to place like Netflix,
allegedly trying to find someone that will greenlit, greenlit this
monstrosity are green lights and monstrosity will definitely do this anything.
It has to be bezos. It's like, yeah, Jeff Trump
will just be like, Jeff feel buy this right, well,
mister president, Yeah you love it, don't you. Well you

(42:17):
know there is something you're gonna buy it. Yeah, we're
green lighting it. We're green lighting. Hey, you're welcome Christy to.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Drop all anti trust against you.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So this the series
is called The American and it's I guess named after
the train that contestants will be riding around the country
and competing in regionally specific quote cultural contests like no
rolling logs in Wisconsin, Yes, I'm.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Documented or whatever?

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Did you what hogs doing what to hogs?

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Rolling logs in rolling standing on logs and like, you know,
trying to get the other personal fall off of ship,
you know, hillbilly Olympic shit.

Speaker 4 (42:54):
Uh real, Ultimate Ninja Warrior what.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Yeah, kind of Well it's different. Allow me to really
just unfold this whole show before before you jump to conclusions. Okay,
so this is so fucking I'm so sorry, this is real. Okay,
but the show format is basically going to echo pretty
much every other reality competition show. It's just so fucking cruel.
And the grand prize is citizenship to a country that

(43:18):
hates you. So, as described in the pitch, contestants quote,
contestants from various countries and backgrounds would be pre vetted
and arrive at Ellis Island in New York City. I'm born.
The citizenship about symbolizing a new beginning. This is how
the show opens. There, they'd be greeted by the host.
They haven't booked anyone, so they're saying someone quote s Fame, well,

(43:40):
are you naturalized American citizen? You're no. See that's the thing.
They need a famous naturalized American who was also born
in another country. So the pitch is saying people like
Sophia Virgara, Ryan Reynolds, Mila Kunis who's from Ukraine as
possible hosts to greet the contestants and upon which they
will give the contestants a welcome gift. That gift a

(44:01):
personalized baseball glove. Okay, these are people who are on
a game show because they want to be citizens of
the United States. They're can be like, oh my god,
welcome to the show. Here's your baseball glove before we
completely make you debase yourself for.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Citizenship, then yeah, put your nuts right here for the
duration of this.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
I feel like a more American thing would be like
a gun.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
I know, right exactly here it is or here is
like here is your ability to completely compartmentalize and not
view yourself as an immigrant anymore once you get citizenship,
and then pull the ladder up for everyone else.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
I kind of like this because i've it. I want
to hear you.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yeah, let me, let me do the full pitch and
then you tell me why this is why you're green lighting.
Oh yeah, and we'll all go around if we're green
lighting or I haven't. Look, I'm still on the fence.
I want to know more. So. Contestants will travel state
to state, meeting quote interesting Americans and learning about the history,
culture quirks of each region. Viewers, in turn, will.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Learn Dennis Prager number one.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
I know right. They will learn through video package about
each wan to want to be American. This is what
they say in the Daily Mail, want to be American,
and why they want to live here. We'll join the
quote this from the deck. We'll join the laughter, tears, frustration,
and joy hearing their backstories as we are reminded how
amazing it is to be an American through the eyes
of twelve wonderful people who want nothing more than to

(45:25):
have what we have. Then they're divided into teams.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
The right to die in a mass shooting.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Yeah, exactly, and then have to have a wallet biopsy
done on your way to the hospital and be like, sorry,
I don't see an insurance card in here. Then they'll
they'll all be put into teams where then they will
have to do battle. Not to the death quite yet.
That's probably like season three, I'd imagine. Scenes envisaged include
one in San Francisco where the immigrants are set down

(45:52):
a mind to collect the most gold in Cape Canaveral, Florida,
the hub of Nasso.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Oh is, there was never gold in San Francisco, You
fucking idiots. What's wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (46:05):
They don't know about Sutter's Mill, all right, don't fucking
ask about that.

Speaker 4 (46:09):
Get a trip there and go school field trip there.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Everybody in California gotta go to Sutter's Mill. Baby, Hell yeah,
where they put all that fake gold. I thought I
got fucking gold when I went to and they're like, no,
they put stuff in there so that way you can
put it in a little bottle and take it home
with you. I'm like, this is fuck, this is fucking.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
I mean, they should let the immigrants like smoking an
opium den in San Francisco to get the real experience,
get real racist.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
I think the immigrants should start a tech company and
then destroy democracy and.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Then create a podcast about how no other immigrants are
deserving to destroy democracy.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
And then ascend the heights of the Trump administration five
point zero. Then they'll go to Cape Canaveral, where NASA is,
and they would rush to build and launch a rocket.
There's I'm not even joking. There's another one. They go
to Detroit to assemble a Ford Model T, where they
will put the protocols of Elders of Zion in the
glove box, just like Henry Ford did. Okay, maybe the

(47:06):
last part wasn't true, but they will be making a
fucking Model T on a fucking factory.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
No no, no, no, no no. I first of all, I
am not anti this premise for a couple of reasons.
Number one, it sounds a lot quicker and easier than
applying what you writing forward, following the rules.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
This is this is one of the rules.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Better than the lottery with vets for healthcare, and it
would be better.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
You're right, much quicker, much quicker. Number two. I do
think that in the process of learning the backstory, actually
we would all learn something about immigrants to this country.
It's like, well, my family was held at gunpoint in
El Salvador.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
By addressing there, they're gonna say they are they're the
biggest fan of the San Diego Padres base, real, right,
And they knew they wanted to be American when they
saw Tony Gwynn take his first at bat or somebody.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
When I watched The Real Housewives, I knew I wanted
to be one. Remember all of our trash television is
actually international and people can see us, right.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it would be beautiful if they did
tell all of those stories. They're like, I have a
child who's dying, and we were held at some point
and we have to leave. And then at the end
they're like, sorry, we're gonna take you back. Let's follow
up in six months exactly.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
I mean, you guys watch more in reality than I do.
But like ninety day fiance. Doesn't that Miles have a
little bit of insight into each character, and like, yeah,
you'd get a backstory.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
You get some texture. Most people aren't sort of like
running from a nation that's been absolutely destabilized by the
United States. So it's just like and I fell in
love with her on the app and it's like, okay, fine,
and then you kind of learn a little bit more
and more, and then you're like, there's right now, there's
a guy who left you on to go to Hamisburg,
Mississippi to be with a woman. And he's like, if

(49:05):
I go back, I think I'm gonna go to jail.
Probably I still think I'm a spy. That's like the
like that one recently has been touching on some actual
kind of geopolitical stuff, but it's more like it's still
shot with like the perspective like, oh man, Heron's so
fucked up, like you don't want to fucking be there,
like and we don't even need to talk about it
much further than.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Than Virginia.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
I don't know it simply hate our freedoms. Yeah, we're
not going to see someone on this show being like, well,
when the School of the America's trained the goon squads
to get rid of Like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
But I do think if you tweak it a little bit,
it could be something I could get on board with.
I do think it should be actual Americans, people who
were born here, whatever, natural whatever the fuck papers keep
their citizens versus oh yes, versus.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Country swap.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Who's who can roll along?

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Right? Who has like more experienced like rockets, where do
you make mild rockets came from exactly countries where they
educate their children.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
It should be more like citizenship swamp, right, yeah, you
relinquish yours and give it to this person, right.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yeah, It's like, motherfucker, I had to go through the
dairyen gap. They shook off some locks. Again, it's not
I wish this would be the kind of thing that
would actually bring attention to like the plight of people
around the world, But it's gonna be done in such
an America worship jingoistic nonsense about.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
That we just throw a black mirror episode.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Actually yeah true, yeah, yeah, this is probably what the
fucking room sounded like when these people are putting the
deck together, like what should it be called? And what
are the press? Because in the deck they're like, this
is gonna have so much sponsorship opportunity. This is just again,
just to round it out right, The thing ends with
a train pulling up to the steps of the Capitol,
where they will receive their citizenship on the steps of

(50:59):
the fucking.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Immediately continues to l Salvador with the rest of the people.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Yea, no, that isn't true. According to the deck, the
guy the producer makes it clear, the losers will have
all been pre screened for eventual citizenship, so they will
have a leg up when it comes to applying for
citizenship in the more traditional way.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
Bull shit, they're gonna end up with kil Mar Bregogarcia.
Also a train America. I'm sorry, this is fundamental.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Don't get on a train anywhere, and don't even go
to train at Disneyland exactly. Yeah, there's gonna be some
kind of derailment. Yeah right, a hyper loop where everyone
can perish in a concrete too. Some of the prizes
would be quote iconically Americans, such as one million American airlines.
I saw that. I saw that a ten thousand dollars

(51:48):
Starbucks gift card, or a lifetime supply of seventy six gasoline.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
Wait, that's like a bajillion dollars seventy six canceling.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
Yeah, that's actually that's actually.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
Worth Yeah, which one would you choose. I'm like definitely
going with the gas.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Yeah, the gas. Yeah, oh yeah. But then it's like, well, yeah,
I guess I'll just sell gas on the side. I'm like, yeah, just.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Like give other people gas.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Yeah, And then I saw it to them on the low.
I'm like, yeah, bro, if you have like anybody who needs,
like you've got some troubles, you need gasoline, Bro, I
fucking wont it come through? I'll give you.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Guys like the pandemic where people are putting it in
bags in their cars.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Yeah, they're like that's not a good okay whatever, to
each their own, to each terrible fire their own. So yeah,
this is apparent. The momentum has not stopped.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
And Christina, I'm so fragile about how much of a
fucking like pageant fascist she is. Like she just she's like,
this is not about me, this is like but she
is such a pageant Like every single thing is like her.
You know, now she's got tactical gear on. Now she's
on the border, you know. Now she's in front of
a bunch of you know, shaved head, detainees and a

(52:56):
goolog like right, and she's like, this isn't about me, but.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
It so is.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
It's about like, yeah, I was just saying like she's
got more photog she's got like a better photographer following
her than like the Beyonce whoever the Beyonce Instagram husband is, which,
by the way, it might be has to do that sometimes.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
Also, she looks like she's had like a lot of
work done.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
It looks like she's definitely this is what is fundamentally
happening with her face. I call her the dog Killer
with too much face filler. She is terrifying.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
And then this Quanta.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
Too much, the thriller in Manila with the dog Killer
with too much filler.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
I just didn't realize, Like I saw a picture where
she looks like, you know, a typical like midwestern mom
in one picture and.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Yeah, early yeah, I mean yeah, they all got, they
all got.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
I went through like a conveyor belt in mar A
Lago her and Laura Lumer.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
I mean, like this one, she looks like a character
on fucking Righteous Gemstones.

Speaker 4 (53:59):
You know, Oh that's so, that's that's old, that's before
the glow up, you get.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
I know, but I'm saying, like, this is where she
was at, this is where she was, and then she's
like him, I'm a real housewife. Now. It's just very,
very freaky. And yes, uh it's funny because like within
the department she has no respect either. Like everything you
read about the department phone and that security, they're like, no,
I'm just a fucking joke. She just goes to fucking

(54:24):
pose and like we're the ones doing the real work
or brutalizing innocent people the fuck you want for the
love of the game exactly. She's in the love of it,
for her private jet. I think she's trying to get
right now, right for like fifteen right now.

Speaker 3 (54:36):
Is she gonna strap a dog to the roof?

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, she's gonna know, she's gonna tape it
right in front of the engine intake.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
And back when they used to put the dogs and
hammocks by the engine intake.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Yeah, and maybe gets sucked through and blows the engine.
I don't even know who cares anyway. No, I'm out anyway,

what a what a time? Where? Oh me? Is it?

Speaker 1 (58:52):
My? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Look a fucking work a media. I like this. Someone
posted this on blue Sky at guntoucher dot b sky
dot social posted this. I think about this anytime I
see James Carvill mentioned. It's a huff Post article from
twenty two thousand and eight from when James Carville was
like actually was in the Brad Pitt movie The Assassination

(59:16):
of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. This is
an extra from this article, but the favorite scene for
political junkies is bound to be campaign consultant James Carvill's
cameo is Missouri Governor Thomas Crittenden, the man who put
Bill Clinton in the White House, gives a Chris performance,
telling Ford, played by Casey Affleck, that he wants gunslinger
James dead all the same. Director Andrew Dominic vals he'll

(59:37):
never work with Carville again. Quote, I didn't want to
hire him in the first place. Dominic tells us he
came in unprepared, he couldn't get his lines out right.
It's like he has add it took us three hours
to shoot that one small scene. I am now envisioning
Uncle Baby Billy from Righteous Gemstones like that is basically

(59:57):
what Jacuz like, No, God damn it. I need to
get my I need to get my inspiration right. Comes back,
He's like, I want that man dead because that He's like,
that's not the line, James, what is it? He said,
I need you to do something for me, and I
need it done right. What a fucking time. So I
love it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
That was really good. And James Baby Billy he's.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Kind of the same, you know, James, j oh yeah, James,
carl Will going to talk about all the things they
have the Democratic Party needs to do, uh and and
nothing about the stuff that they should have done. That's
the thing. And then Uncle Baby Billy is this kind
of kind.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Of there's more is always twenty twenty in James.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Exactly, It's always twenty twenty and Uncle Baby Billy is
like this here called a silver bullet course, all the
way from Colorado. That's why I think in my mind,
I'm like, oh shit, he's the same. It's James Carville
trying to do team just like Uncle Baby Billy did
this season in Righteous Gemstones, but just doing a bunch
of cocaine, trying to be teen Jesus.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
All right, wait, anyway, plug one more thing before we go.
