Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Trantastic Four aka Quatro Tasticos, oh as it is known
in Mexico. Brand the editor down there very eager to
watch Eddington, but has learned that there is a one
(00:21):
Pedro Pascal film at a time limit.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, in making, that's that's a symbol, that's a mark
of a civilized nation.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's right. We're just fucking blasting them all out.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
There all in the month. Sorry Pedro.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
That movie made two hundred and eighteen million globally.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Great.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Great, let's see kick the can down the road. Maybe
millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Although it slowed at the end. People were thinking two
hundred and twenty and it only ended up at two
hundred and eighteen. Aw So it ended up like having
a weird like this one actually failed story like Kicker
at the end of the media cycle. Also over the weekend,
Happy Gilmore two came out on Netflix, a lot of
(01:11):
negative reviews, a lot of backlash for should we issue
a spoiler? Is it? Is it too early? I mean,
it's a spoiler that happens within the first five minutes
of the movie.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's I saw it. I don't it's it
doesn't spoil I mean, I don't think it's three minutes
in Happy.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I was actually asking yesterday, I was like, wait, who
is the love interest from Happy Gilmore? So I remember
it was Veronica Bond from Billy Madison Joan Nelson. Yeah
it was Julia action hero. Yeah, yeah, from a modern family.
Yeah was the wife her girlfriend and Happy Gilmore three
(01:51):
minutes in Happy accidentally kills his wife from the shot
with a t shot, which is what hit ball so
hard at kill wife? Yeah, which like that happens at
the beginning of the movie, right, with like a bunch
of slapshots that keep hitting the person with the camera.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, sure that there's someone always on
the receiving end of his terrible Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah it didn't didn't. Wasn't there a funeral scene?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Or I feel like it kills his dad in the
first one. Yeah. Anyways, he quits golf and becomes an
alcoholic as a result, and that's where our movie comes from.
I have not watched it yet, but I have heard
from a reliable source.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, there's there's some laughs on there.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's look, I saw it because I'm Happy Gilmore brained
as a child, So I'm like, yeah, man, let me aid,
let me fire up this movie for like ninety six
when came out their sequel, it's I will say this,
it's not good. It's not good. But I'd be lying
if I said I didn't laugh out loud at certain parts.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This is what I'm this is, I will say, John
Day the Golfer, excellent cameo, fucking really, really fucking funny. No,
I'm sure maybe like maybe it's like a throwaway appearance,
but this one, he's like firmly like his dirt bag
friend who like lives with him and they call him
Uncle John Daily, and he's just like a weird, fucking
(03:15):
freaky dude. Like he just plays and he just he's
such a bad actor that it kind of comes off
as believable a lot of his delivery.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And there's just too many fucking cameos.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Like the amount of people that are in this it's
like brain splitting.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I'm in it for the cameos only. I just like
to say, go, oh my god, yeah, I mean, Barker,
you realize, like how many terrible people Adam Sandler knows,
because like Rob Schneider is still in this one. But whatever,
I think.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
What I would say is you, I would rate it A.
You won't regret it if you have it on in
the background.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Hell yeah, that's all. That's how it's for. Don't need
to sit down. This is not appointment viewing.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Just throw it on if you if you're curious, just
fucking throw it on and do some other shit. And
like the cadence of a Sandler movie is even if
you're looking not out the screen, he'll start being like and.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Then you'll be, you know, in realize time to look at?
What time to look at TV?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Hell yeah, all right, let's get into darker news. Another
mass shooting, this one in New York City targeting the
NFL from somebody who believed they were suffering from CTE,
you know, asked to be have their brain studied and
killed I think four people and people himself. So horrifying.
(04:35):
Story drives home that you really can't be the country
that both led to anyone who can pass a field
sobriety test by an assault weapon and also be the
place where you just don't have complete disregard for mental health.
And also like people's brains who play your most popular sport.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I feel like, yeah, yeah, it seems like yeah, real
really bad combo. And the fucking right has just already
tried to jump on this, like you you're some people.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Are being like, this was this was a Muslim extremist
shooting in New York because of Zor and Mamdani. Yeah,
how is that how they get there?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Look there anything is a way to just lie about
it and try and you know, have it conform to
whatever narrative they're currently pushing. And I think, yeah, this
was like on Newsmax, the guy was like, this was
against Jewish people. Like they're just they're they're flailing for anything,
and I think, like I said, with everything that's going
on with Trump, they're like, well, anti black racism isn't
(05:40):
gonna work.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Maybe some more Islamophobia, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
We can try the American public with that terrible impulse.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But no, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
But by the way, it's just anti Obama, anti black racism,
I feel like, is what they've figured out hasn't worked,
but they're they're going to keep trying. I feel like,
right all the different racism combinations that they can, like,
I mean, even hand you know, going to we didn't
even talk about.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
The MLK files that he released like two weeks ago,
okay files.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I feel like there's also rumors about he might have
said something about like alien files that he's thinking about releasing.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Honestly, at that point, it's like, yo, every time he's
that bad. But you think that's like a thing like
every president knows, like look what a.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Fire stars to bur right and the stars to spread.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You can do a little mini disclosure to get any disclosure,
little mini disclosure, full disclosure, but it can be disclosure, yeah,
you know.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Exactly can't be. We can't.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
We're not going full den anymore, the saint disclosure, okay,
but maybe as a treat we can learn the truth
that or he's in legalize weed like suddenly.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Just everyone everywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't know, like I feel like there has to
be these like I think the other thing too, is
what I don't understand is Donald Trump should know that
you can buy people, like including the American public, Like
stimulus is one way for people to immediately be like
he's been talking about that, that's been I know, yeah,
I know, but I'm like, I don't know why you
didn't fucking like if he and I don't even know
(07:09):
I'm giving this fascist government tips, but like start off
with a party and everyone goes, I got a check,
and then people have to fucking wrestle with the fact
that you gave them free money as their rights are
being absolutely eroded.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But on you go, elderly man who knows not what
day he's in.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Uh. There are two Israeli human rights groups who for
the first time have defined what Israel is doing in
Gaza as a genocide. So like Israel's own human rights
groups are now joining the call to end this, more
(07:48):
and more celebrities are joining the call the call. There's
an interesting story where a fashion designer chose not to
work with the artist Russalia to her silence on Palestine,
which is like a reverse what we've seen in the
past where people were just losing their you know, representation
(08:09):
and agencies for refusing to be silent about Palestine. And
then American voters continue to shift hard in the direction
of stop this ship right now.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, I'm you're even seeing like it's so again, it's
I guess, welcome to the to reality.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes, but holy shit, like Jesus.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's only now I think now for some reason, the
famine that is happening in Gaza is starting to affect
even like Republican members of Congress, or at least in
their quotes again, because like, this is the this is
the mind fuck of listening to politicians, Like they'll be
like that's terrible, Oh, my vote is to continue the genocide, right,
and you're like, well, then they don't even say anything.
(08:51):
And there was an article in like Axios last week
that was saying, like, the administration is also trying to
be like trying to figure out how to change course
or figure out a way to address what's happening. But
at the same time, I'm like, I don't know, man,
You've had a lot of time to everyone's done, had
a lot of time to figure this shit out, and
we're still at this just such a grim milestone in
(09:14):
terms of how bad the situation has become. And I'm
not just for not just in Gaza, like in the
West Bank, and also just thinking of.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Like Syria, like Israel is just I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Aside from the specific genocide as a relation to the
Palacadian people, the military, the micro militarism that's happening all
around in the region, with no consequence is really alarming
and like you wonder when it'll be enough, But coming
from Donald Trump, it's like it who knows.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I think the pictures of people starving or having an effect,
like fifteen people, including four children, starved to death in
a single twenty four hour period last week, and the
US government is not profiting off of that. You know,
that's not so it's fucked up, but it does. You know,
I'm reminded of the book everyone Will Have Always Been
(10:06):
Against This by Omar Elcod that, you know, it feels
like we're slowly moving in that direction where everyone's like, yeah,
I was, you know, the this is the way these
stories tend to go, where it's like there's a historic
atrocity that's happening, and then every everybody in a decade
(10:30):
pretends like it's always been the thing to be against
the invasion of Iraq, or everybody was on board with
the civil rights movement, and it was like the civil
rights movement was unpopular when it first started, when he
was killed, Doctor Martin Luther King Junior was very unpopular.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Right, and of course everyone was. That's why it was
so such. It was such a frictionless process the civil
rights movement because everyone was on board.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Right, Oh, no, everybody was like they should just like
chill out. It's like very they're they're causing problems for themselves.
Like that's what the fucking focus group testing was at
the time.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
This has been such a it's been wild to just
see suddenly more and more people speak out. And unfortunately
it's because they they probably don't fear the repercussions anymore,
that the repercussions of speaking out are less than or
and I think in a lot of cases, a lot
of people are just so disconnected from from it all
(11:30):
that they really don't they don't maybe don't feel the
kind of shame that like you or I would being
like an American and being like, we are fucking this
is this is our shared shame as a nation, Like
we have the power to really change course here. And yeah,
I mean, like I guess if it takes if the
stories weren't enough from for the from the last few
(11:52):
years weren't enough to change your mind and it suddenly
is now, then so be it. But like God, it's
like all you do periods. His entire experience in October
seventh has been like a bunch of screaming into the
fucking void, like how like fucking how? So, yeah, we'll
see if these are just more Axios headlines because we
know Axios love to you know, do a lot of
(12:13):
stuff to impress the president because they're basically a conservative outlet,
or you know what.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Will come of that, But something has to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
One thing on the Epstein story that I just just
to circle back to Epstein real quick? Could we put
it back on that and circle.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Back to Yeah, sure, let's circle back now.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah. So, in covering the Epstein thing, like I, I'm
also very interested in the other people who are in
like the other powerful people. I think this is like
part of the thing that I keep talking about where
when there's a story that's clearly fueled by outrage at
the wealthy and the powerful, like this one, the mainstream
(13:07):
media refuses to acknowledge that that's what the story is about,
or that's what's driving people's anger and interest in it.
And so the Epstein story is being covered as like
only a scandal for Trump, right like kind of right now,
it's like and this thing that has really like outraged
Trump's supporters like that that's the aspect of it that
(13:30):
they're covering, which I think is a mistake because everybody's
interested in all of this shit, like all intentional, weirdest shit. Yeah, exactly,
So just some things that I feel like have gone
kind of overlooked. One. The Wall Street Journal released more
of the notes from that book, and I think they
(13:52):
are both just interesting to read about because there are
other powerful people across the political spectrum. But also it
makes it clear that that was like definitely a note
from Trump, Like it's like all these powerful people, you
think Trump was gonna be like, no, I'm gonna sit
this one out. Had a note from for instance, Bill Clinton,
whose note to Epstein read, It's reassuring, isn't it to
(14:15):
have lasted as long across all the years of learning
and knowing adventures and illegible word? And also to have
your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and
the solace of friends.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
What the shock.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Pretty load bearing illegible word in there? Adventures and illegible word, yea,
who the fuck knows what was there? But there's also
Leon Black, So Leon Black is a billionaire who paid
Epstein one hundred and seventy million dollars between twenty twelve
(14:53):
and twenty seventeen. The payments were for alleged tax and
estate planning services. Even though everybody who talked to Jeffrey
Epstein was like, he doesn't know shit about anything. Yeah,
this guy's like kind of an idiot. He's like dumb.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Especially all the scientists that would give quotes about him.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
They're like, this guy's a fucking perf who just like
likes to hang around scientists and just says dumb shit
around us.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
But there was specifically a quote from one of the
scientists who was like, yeah, I was friends with him,
what like he was like eedy something and was just
like kind of no fucks to give left and was like, yeah,
I like went to a bunch of the dinners because
there was a lot of talented scientists there. Not only
do I think he was like not smart, I don't
(15:38):
believe that he knew anything about like the financial world
because he didn't seem to know shit about shit was
essentially like the spirit of the quote. Anyways, Leon Black
paid him one hundred and seventy million dollars, which if
you know how people who are billionaires are about their money.
They don't really part with it just for fun, you know, right? No,
(16:00):
So he wrote a poem in it, according to The
Wall Street Journal, that read blonde read or brunette spread
out geographically with this net of fish. Jeff's now the
old man in the sea.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
The old man in the sea. Is that meant to
rhyme with geographically?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
The old man geographically? Really damn a little like slant rhyme,
like multi word. Yeah, get Eminem to ghost write that
for him.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Eminem is also on the Happy Gilmore sequel. Oh hell
yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So again just a billionaire who's among many other billionaires
who are in this book. Just worth noting. Leon Black's
son Ben is being nominated to be CEO of the
US International Development Finance Corporation by the Trump administration. And
Bloomberg wrote this up and one of the quotes from
(16:52):
the article is was Black's nomination expected No, According to
unnamed people familiar with the process, who told The Times
the pick came as a surprise given blacks limited foreign
policy and legislative experience, and also like elsewhere they're like
and he's like not, They're good at like Wall Street
stuff like this doesn't make any sense, So I don't know,
(17:14):
it just seems interesting that all these billionaires are looking
out for one another.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Especially right now. Yeah, in a time of great curiosity.
I mean, like you think about it.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Do you see the picture that came out in twenty twenty,
but people have been bringing it up again of like
Bill Clinton getting massaged by Shante Davis, who's like one
of like an Epstein victim.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
No, I had not seen that, but and like again,
like we should be like the mainstream media needs to
be plastering all this shit everywhere that like equal opportunities every.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Everyone, what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Like, I mean, this is how you're gonna find some
shit out as you start pressing everybody. Yeah, exactly, but
not not that Bill Clinton's ever going to be in
a situation where he's going to answer anything. But you know,
that's truly like the look, there's a lot of loose
Even Donald Trump himself said, hey, you should really look
into the former president of Harvard, Larry Summers.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Yeah. Please, we know about Trump too, So we know that. Okay,
so we gave the's diamond nuts of other people. So truly,
let's let's bring this all to light.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, and finally in happy news, h Justin Trudeau and
Katy Perry, I mean, miles, we've been shipping these two
for a while on this podcast. Oh my god, oh
my god, that it would be so all.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
The people that work on this show refuse to put
those parts into episodes because they're like, you, guys, you
have to find something else to talk.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
You just did thirty minutes on how cute it would
be if Katy Perry and Justin True just started dating.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Just just so people, just in full transparency. We know
we've talked about AI a lot the last couple of years.
We've had to do that every time Jack and I
were actually talking about Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau. Yeah,
like the producer put in an AI story for us
to talk about because we didn't. They didn't want to
humiliate ourselves because all obsessed with this, because I was like,
bon bon bon apetty baby Katie's best album.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I don't know, I just know the super Bowl halftime
show was a triumph. God man, when she wrote.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
In on that fucking line, man, that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Was I think we still talk about how that was
the big I think that was American maximalism.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So I think it's the height of America, to be
honest with you, Like it was just all downhill from there.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That was twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, Katie has you know, at that time she was
with Russell Brand and the you know, we were all
disappointed those two kookie kids couldn't make it work out.
Then Orlando Bloom sorry, Legoless now has been spotted dating
Justin Trudeau, Justin Trudeau's father. This was written up by
our Canadian writer J. M McNabb, who noted that Trudeau's
(19:54):
father also dated a famous musician, Barbara streisand was Kim
Troll during the like Mannik era Kim Katrol.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Mannequin era Kim Katrol.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I think, yeah, I mean that's that's around it would
have been.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, I guess it would have been like when after
like post sex in the City, when she was scatting
on ABC News.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right, they're both celebrities who were very popular in the
early twenty tens, but like not so much anymore. I
just have the question, like, when are we going to
get our first American president who's just like a bachelor
and out there dating celebrities or like a young sing
(20:36):
I mean I was looking up AOC because, like you know,
a lot of people are like, this is more and
more she's engaged, or yeah she's booed up.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Though, yeah she's bowed up. But I don't know, like
you know, the rumors, you know, the rumors, the rumors
about that we're on our text threats about a certain
president who was.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
What tex text threads, you've run them text threads. There
was team there about a president out there. Really yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Mean this is a rumor anyway, it doesn't matter. But
Obama dating Jennifer Aniston, that was like a thing.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, people were talking about all the time. They're like
Obama and Jennifer Aniston.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I just it's wild to me that Canada got there first. Yeah,
that would destroy America if there was like a hot
president who was like single and dating. Like I feel,
it makes sense to me that there was, like obviously
there was JFK who was secretly doing all that shit,
and like I think it people like kind of like
(21:36):
the energy of the fact that he was dating everybody
in the world probably came through to people like the
people who didn't want to know that she chose not to,
but everybody else was like he's our first rock star president. Like,
but like if there was somebody who was just that now,
(21:57):
I don't know if America would ever recover. You know.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, there's there's a lot of yeah, even like the
Google's AI is.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Like. Recent news reports have focused on swirling rumors suggesting
a romantic relationship between Jennifer Aniston and former President Barack Obama.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That's such a.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Funny last year because then there was that because al
Michelle Obama's podcast.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Recently, Barack Obama came on and they were trying to
be like, there's nothing. Come on, man, we're good.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Jennifer, we're good guys dating Courtney Cox.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That feels like some ship, like a weird writer's room combo.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's like Barack Obama, Jennifer Aniston, Right, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
That's good. I like that. I like that. That's good.
We like that one. Let's go and ship them, you know.
But we were very in. Trudeau is so fucking weird, dude.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I know, Katie Trudeau. Jeez. Well, you know, all we
can do is hope. Yeah, for these two. They were
seen sharing a plate of lobster. Do you share it
when you're like on a date with her medge. Are
you sharing dishes? Well, no, yeah, that's that seems shared
several dishes, including one with Look.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
First of all, Jack, The thing you should know about
me is I illegally fish.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
For lobster with my wealthy friends.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
If you remember my underrating over from Londall. Yeah. No,
when I think of people sharing the lobster, I don't
picture someone eating cleanly. I pictured two people fucking ripping
a part of lot, like ripping and like they're fighting
over it like wolves. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, it's not like an elegant thing.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Tail out of that thing.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I'm sorry, how do you get?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm just like thinking of the most savage way to
do it. You just like break it in half down
the middle and then just like pull like.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Side the biting Yeah, tail out.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah anyway, anyways, that's that's my horny fantasy.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, you're always some kind of sea like carnivore, sea based. Yeah, exactly,
it's just sea based. You look, and I filed my
teeth into shark teeth. Oh that would be so fucked
your kids, your poor kids, dude.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
If you filed your teeth down a little shark teeth,
they wouldn't even be able to look at you.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
They've got the ridges, all right. Those are some of
the things that are trending on this Tuesday, July twenty ninth. Yep,
we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get your vaccines, but you still can
get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy,

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Trantastic Four aka Quatro Tasticos, oh as it is known
in Mexico. Brand the editor down there very eager to
watch Eddington, but has learned that there is a one
(00:21):
Pedro Pascal film at a time limit.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, in making, that's that's a symbol, that's a mark
of a civilized nation.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's right. We're just fucking blasting them all out.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
There all in the month. Sorry Pedro.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
That movie made two hundred and eighteen million globally.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Great.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Great, let's see kick the can down the road. Maybe
millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Although it slowed at the end. People were thinking two
hundred and twenty and it only ended up at two
hundred and eighteen. Aw So it ended up like having
a weird like this one actually failed story like Kicker
at the end of the media cycle. Also over the weekend,
Happy Gilmore two came out on Netflix, a lot of
(01:11):
negative reviews, a lot of backlash for should we issue
a spoiler? Is it? Is it too early? I mean,
it's a spoiler that happens within the first five minutes
of the movie.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's I saw it. I don't it's it
doesn't spoil I mean, I don't think it's three minutes
in Happy.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I was actually asking yesterday, I was like, wait, who
is the love interest from Happy Gilmore? So I remember
it was Veronica Bond from Billy Madison Joan Nelson. Yeah
it was Julia action hero. Yeah, yeah, from a modern family.
Yeah was the wife her girlfriend and Happy Gilmore three
(01:51):
minutes in Happy accidentally kills his wife from the shot
with a t shot, which is what hit ball so
hard at kill wife? Yeah, which like that happens at
the beginning of the movie, right, with like a bunch
of slapshots that keep hitting the person with the camera.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, sure that there's someone always on
the receiving end of his terrible Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah it didn't didn't. Wasn't there a funeral scene?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Or I feel like it kills his dad in the
first one. Yeah. Anyways, he quits golf and becomes an
alcoholic as a result, and that's where our movie comes from.
I have not watched it yet, but I have heard
from a reliable source.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, there's there's some laughs on there.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It's look, I saw it because I'm Happy Gilmore brained
as a child, So I'm like, yeah, man, let me aid,
let me fire up this movie for like ninety six
when came out their sequel, it's I will say this,
it's not good. It's not good. But I'd be lying
if I said I didn't laugh out loud at certain parts.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And that's what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This is what I'm this is, I will say, John
Day the Golfer, excellent cameo, fucking really, really fucking funny. No,
I'm sure maybe like maybe it's like a throwaway appearance,
but this one, he's like firmly like his dirt bag
friend who like lives with him and they call him
Uncle John Daily, and he's just like a weird, fucking
(03:15):
freaky dude. Like he just plays and he just he's
such a bad actor that it kind of comes off
as believable a lot of his delivery.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And there's just too many fucking cameos.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Like the amount of people that are in this it's
like brain splitting.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I'm in it for the cameos only. I just like
to say, go, oh my god, yeah, I mean, Barker,
you realize, like how many terrible people Adam Sandler knows,
because like Rob Schneider is still in this one. But whatever,
I think.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
What I would say is you, I would rate it A.
You won't regret it if you have it on in
the background.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Hell yeah, that's all. That's how it's for. Don't need
to sit down. This is not appointment viewing.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Just throw it on if you if you're curious, just
fucking throw it on and do some other shit. And
like the cadence of a Sandler movie is even if
you're looking not out the screen, he'll start being like and.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Then you'll be, you know, in realize time to look at?
What time to look at TV?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Hell yeah, all right, let's get into darker news. Another
mass shooting, this one in New York City targeting the
NFL from somebody who believed they were suffering from CTE,
you know, asked to be have their brain studied and
killed I think four people and people himself. So horrifying.
(04:35):
Story drives home that you really can't be the country
that both led to anyone who can pass a field
sobriety test by an assault weapon and also be the
place where you just don't have complete disregard for mental health.
And also like people's brains who play your most popular sport.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I feel like, yeah, yeah, it seems like yeah, real
really bad combo. And the fucking right has just already
tried to jump on this, like you you're some people.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Are being like, this was this was a Muslim extremist
shooting in New York because of Zor and Mamdani. Yeah,
how is that how they get there?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Look there anything is a way to just lie about
it and try and you know, have it conform to
whatever narrative they're currently pushing. And I think, yeah, this
was like on Newsmax, the guy was like, this was
against Jewish people. Like they're just they're they're flailing for anything,
and I think, like I said, with everything that's going
on with Trump, they're like, well, anti black racism isn't
(05:40):
gonna work.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Maybe some more Islamophobia, maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
We can try the American public with that terrible impulse.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
But no, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
But by the way, it's just anti Obama, anti black racism,
I feel like, is what they've figured out hasn't worked,
but they're they're going to keep trying. I feel like,
right all the different racism combinations that they can, like,
I mean, even hand you know, going to we didn't
even talk about.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
The MLK files that he released like two weeks ago,
okay files.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I feel like there's also rumors about he might have
said something about like alien files that he's thinking about releasing.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Honestly, at that point, it's like, yo, every time he's
that bad. But you think that's like a thing like
every president knows, like look what a.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Fire stars to bur right and the stars to spread.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
You can do a little mini disclosure to get any disclosure,
little mini disclosure, full disclosure, but it can be disclosure, yeah,
you know.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Exactly can't be. We can't.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
We're not going full den anymore, the saint disclosure, okay,
but maybe as a treat we can learn the truth
that or he's in legalize weed like suddenly.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Just everyone everywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't know, like I feel like there has to
be these like I think the other thing too, is
what I don't understand is Donald Trump should know that
you can buy people, like including the American public, Like
stimulus is one way for people to immediately be like
he's been talking about that, that's been I know, yeah,
I know, but I'm like, I don't know why you
didn't fucking like if he and I don't even know
(07:09):
I'm giving this fascist government tips, but like start off
with a party and everyone goes, I got a check,
and then people have to fucking wrestle with the fact
that you gave them free money as their rights are
being absolutely eroded.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But on you go, elderly man who knows not what
day he's in.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Uh. There are two Israeli human rights groups who for
the first time have defined what Israel is doing in
Gaza as a genocide. So like Israel's own human rights
groups are now joining the call to end this, more
(07:48):
and more celebrities are joining the call the call. There's
an interesting story where a fashion designer chose not to
work with the artist Russalia to her silence on Palestine,
which is like a reverse what we've seen in the
past where people were just losing their you know, representation
(08:09):
and agencies for refusing to be silent about Palestine. And
then American voters continue to shift hard in the direction
of stop this ship right now.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, I'm you're even seeing like it's so again, it's
I guess, welcome to the to reality.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes, but holy shit, like Jesus.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's only now I think now for some reason, the
famine that is happening in Gaza is starting to affect
even like Republican members of Congress, or at least in
their quotes again, because like, this is the this is
the mind fuck of listening to politicians, Like they'll be
like that's terrible, Oh, my vote is to continue the genocide, right,
and you're like, well, then they don't even say anything.
(08:51):
And there was an article in like Axios last week
that was saying, like, the administration is also trying to
be like trying to figure out how to change course
or figure out a way to address what's happening. But
at the same time, I'm like, I don't know, man,
You've had a lot of time to everyone's done, had
a lot of time to figure this shit out, and
we're still at this just such a grim milestone in
(09:14):
terms of how bad the situation has become. And I'm
not just for not just in Gaza, like in the
West Bank, and also just thinking of.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Like Syria, like Israel is just I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Aside from the specific genocide as a relation to the
Palacadian people, the military, the micro militarism that's happening all
around in the region, with no consequence is really alarming
and like you wonder when it'll be enough, But coming
from Donald Trump, it's like it who knows.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I think the pictures of people starving or having an effect,
like fifteen people, including four children, starved to death in
a single twenty four hour period last week, and the
US government is not profiting off of that. You know,
that's not so it's fucked up, but it does. You know,
I'm reminded of the book everyone Will Have Always Been
(10:06):
Against This by Omar Elcod that, you know, it feels
like we're slowly moving in that direction where everyone's like, yeah,
I was, you know, the this is the way these
stories tend to go, where it's like there's a historic
atrocity that's happening, and then every everybody in a decade
(10:30):
pretends like it's always been the thing to be against
the invasion of Iraq, or everybody was on board with
the civil rights movement, and it was like the civil
rights movement was unpopular when it first started, when he
was killed, Doctor Martin Luther King Junior was very unpopular.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Right, and of course everyone was. That's why it was
so such. It was such a frictionless process the civil
rights movement because everyone was on board.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Right, Oh, no, everybody was like they should just like
chill out. It's like very they're they're causing problems for themselves.
Like that's what the fucking focus group testing was at
the time.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
This has been such a it's been wild to just
see suddenly more and more people speak out. And unfortunately
it's because they they probably don't fear the repercussions anymore,
that the repercussions of speaking out are less than or
and I think in a lot of cases, a lot
of people are just so disconnected from from it all
(11:30):
that they really don't they don't maybe don't feel the
kind of shame that like you or I would being
like an American and being like, we are fucking this
is this is our shared shame as a nation, Like
we have the power to really change course here. And yeah,
I mean, like I guess if it takes if the
stories weren't enough from for the from the last few
(11:52):
years weren't enough to change your mind and it suddenly
is now, then so be it. But like God, it's
like all you do periods. His entire experience in October
seventh has been like a bunch of screaming into the
fucking void, like how like fucking how? So, yeah, we'll
see if these are just more Axios headlines because we
know Axios love to you know, do a lot of
(12:13):
stuff to impress the president because they're basically a conservative outlet,
or you know what.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Will come of that, But something has to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
One thing on the Epstein story that I just just
to circle back to Epstein real quick? Could we put
it back on that and circle.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Back to Yeah, sure, let's circle back now.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Yeah. So, in covering the Epstein thing, like I, I'm
also very interested in the other people who are in
like the other powerful people. I think this is like
part of the thing that I keep talking about where
when there's a story that's clearly fueled by outrage at
the wealthy and the powerful, like this one, the mainstream
(13:07):
media refuses to acknowledge that that's what the story is about,
or that's what's driving people's anger and interest in it.
And so the Epstein story is being covered as like
only a scandal for Trump, right like kind of right now,
it's like and this thing that has really like outraged
Trump's supporters like that that's the aspect of it that
(13:30):
they're covering, which I think is a mistake because everybody's
interested in all of this shit, like all intentional, weirdest shit. Yeah, exactly,
So just some things that I feel like have gone
kind of overlooked. One. The Wall Street Journal released more
of the notes from that book, and I think they
(13:52):
are both just interesting to read about because there are
other powerful people across the political spectrum. But also it
makes it clear that that was like definitely a note
from Trump, Like it's like all these powerful people, you
think Trump was gonna be like, no, I'm gonna sit
this one out. Had a note from for instance, Bill Clinton,
whose note to Epstein read, It's reassuring, isn't it to
(14:15):
have lasted as long across all the years of learning
and knowing adventures and illegible word? And also to have
your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and
the solace of friends.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
What the shock.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Pretty load bearing illegible word in there? Adventures and illegible word, yea,
who the fuck knows what was there? But there's also
Leon Black, So Leon Black is a billionaire who paid
Epstein one hundred and seventy million dollars between twenty twelve
(14:53):
and twenty seventeen. The payments were for alleged tax and
estate planning services. Even though everybody who talked to Jeffrey
Epstein was like, he doesn't know shit about anything. Yeah,
this guy's like kind of an idiot. He's like dumb.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Especially all the scientists that would give quotes about him.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
They're like, this guy's a fucking perf who just like
likes to hang around scientists and just says dumb shit
around us.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
But there was specifically a quote from one of the
scientists who was like, yeah, I was friends with him,
what like he was like eedy something and was just
like kind of no fucks to give left and was like, yeah,
I like went to a bunch of the dinners because
there was a lot of talented scientists there. Not only
do I think he was like not smart, I don't
(15:38):
believe that he knew anything about like the financial world
because he didn't seem to know shit about shit was
essentially like the spirit of the quote. Anyways, Leon Black
paid him one hundred and seventy million dollars, which if
you know how people who are billionaires are about their money.
They don't really part with it just for fun, you know, right? No,
(16:00):
So he wrote a poem in it, according to The
Wall Street Journal, that read blonde read or brunette spread
out geographically with this net of fish. Jeff's now the
old man in the sea.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
The old man in the sea. Is that meant to
rhyme with geographically?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
The old man geographically? Really damn a little like slant rhyme,
like multi word. Yeah, get Eminem to ghost write that
for him.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Eminem is also on the Happy Gilmore sequel. Oh hell
yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So again just a billionaire who's among many other billionaires
who are in this book. Just worth noting. Leon Black's
son Ben is being nominated to be CEO of the
US International Development Finance Corporation by the Trump administration. And
Bloomberg wrote this up and one of the quotes from
(16:52):
the article is was Black's nomination expected No, According to
unnamed people familiar with the process, who told The Times
the pick came as a surprise given blacks limited foreign
policy and legislative experience, and also like elsewhere they're like
and he's like not, They're good at like Wall Street
stuff like this doesn't make any sense, So I don't know,
(17:14):
it just seems interesting that all these billionaires are looking
out for one another.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Especially right now. Yeah, in a time of great curiosity.
I mean, like you think about it.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Do you see the picture that came out in twenty twenty,
but people have been bringing it up again of like
Bill Clinton getting massaged by Shante Davis, who's like one
of like an Epstein victim.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
No, I had not seen that, but and like again,
like we should be like the mainstream media needs to
be plastering all this shit everywhere that like equal opportunities every.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Everyone, what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Like, I mean, this is how you're gonna find some
shit out as you start pressing everybody. Yeah, exactly, but
not not that Bill Clinton's ever going to be in
a situation where he's going to answer anything. But you know,
that's truly like the look, there's a lot of loose
Even Donald Trump himself said, hey, you should really look
into the former president of Harvard, Larry Summers.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Yeah. Please, we know about Trump too, So we know that. Okay,
so we gave the's diamond nuts of other people. So truly,
let's let's bring this all to light.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, and finally in happy news, h Justin Trudeau and
Katy Perry, I mean, miles, we've been shipping these two
for a while on this podcast. Oh my god, oh
my god, that it would be so all.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
The people that work on this show refuse to put
those parts into episodes because they're like, you, guys, you
have to find something else to talk.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
You just did thirty minutes on how cute it would
be if Katy Perry and Justin True just started dating.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Just just so people, just in full transparency. We know
we've talked about AI a lot the last couple of years.
We've had to do that every time Jack and I
were actually talking about Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau. Yeah,
like the producer put in an AI story for us
to talk about because we didn't. They didn't want to
humiliate ourselves because all obsessed with this, because I was like,
bon bon bon apetty baby Katie's best album.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I don't know, I just know the super Bowl halftime
show was a triumph. God man, when she wrote.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
In on that fucking line, man, that.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Was I think we still talk about how that was
the big I think that was American maximalism.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So I think it's the height of America, to be
honest with you, Like it was just all downhill from there.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That was twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, Katie has you know, at that time she was
with Russell Brand and the you know, we were all
disappointed those two kookie kids couldn't make it work out.
Then Orlando Bloom sorry, Legoless now has been spotted dating
Justin Trudeau, Justin Trudeau's father. This was written up by
our Canadian writer J. M McNabb, who noted that Trudeau's
(19:54):
father also dated a famous musician, Barbara streisand was Kim
Troll during the like Mannik era Kim Katrol.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Mannequin era Kim Katrol.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I think, yeah, I mean that's that's around it would
have been.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, I guess it would have been like when after
like post sex in the City, when she was scatting
on ABC News.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right, they're both celebrities who were very popular in the
early twenty tens, but like not so much anymore. I
just have the question, like, when are we going to
get our first American president who's just like a bachelor
and out there dating celebrities or like a young sing
(20:36):
I mean I was looking up AOC because, like you know,
a lot of people are like, this is more and
more she's engaged, or yeah she's booed up.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Though, yeah she's bowed up. But I don't know, like
you know, the rumors, you know, the rumors, the rumors
about that we're on our text threats about a certain
president who was.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
What tex text threads, you've run them text threads. There
was team there about a president out there. Really yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Mean this is a rumor anyway, it doesn't matter. But
Obama dating Jennifer Aniston, that was like a thing.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, people were talking about all the time. They're like
Obama and Jennifer Aniston.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I just it's wild to me that Canada got there first. Yeah,
that would destroy America if there was like a hot
president who was like single and dating. Like I feel,
it makes sense to me that there was, like obviously
there was JFK who was secretly doing all that shit,
and like I think it people like kind of like
(21:36):
the energy of the fact that he was dating everybody
in the world probably came through to people like the
people who didn't want to know that she chose not to,
but everybody else was like he's our first rock star president. Like,
but like if there was somebody who was just that now,
(21:57):
I don't know if America would ever recover. You know.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, there's there's a lot of yeah, even like the
Google's AI is.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Like. Recent news reports have focused on swirling rumors suggesting
a romantic relationship between Jennifer Aniston and former President Barack Obama.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That's such a.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Funny last year because then there was that because al
Michelle Obama's podcast.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Recently, Barack Obama came on and they were trying to
be like, there's nothing. Come on, man, we're good.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Jennifer, we're good guys dating Courtney Cox.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That feels like some ship, like a weird writer's room combo.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's like Barack Obama, Jennifer Aniston, Right, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
That's good. I like that. I like that. That's good.
We like that one. Let's go and ship them, you know.
But we were very in. Trudeau is so fucking weird, dude.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I know, Katie Trudeau. Jeez. Well, you know, all we
can do is hope. Yeah, for these two. They were
seen sharing a plate of lobster. Do you share it
when you're like on a date with her medge. Are
you sharing dishes? Well, no, yeah, that's that seems shared
several dishes, including one with Look.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
First of all, Jack, The thing you should know about
me is I illegally fish.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
For lobster with my wealthy friends.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
If you remember my underrating over from Londall. Yeah. No,
when I think of people sharing the lobster, I don't
picture someone eating cleanly. I pictured two people fucking ripping
a part of lot, like ripping and like they're fighting
over it like wolves. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, it's not like an elegant thing.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Tail out of that thing.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I'm sorry, how do you get?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm just like thinking of the most savage way to
do it. You just like break it in half down
the middle and then just like pull like.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Side the biting Yeah, tail out.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah anyway, anyways, that's that's my horny fantasy.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, you're always some kind of sea like carnivore, sea based. Yeah, exactly,
it's just sea based. You look, and I filed my
teeth into shark teeth. Oh that would be so fucked
your kids, your poor kids, dude.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
If you filed your teeth down a little shark teeth,
they wouldn't even be able to look at you.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
They've got the ridges, all right. Those are some of
the things that are trending on this Tuesday, July twenty ninth. Yep,
we are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get your vaccines, but you still can
get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy,
