And I said, who's the guest? Vince? And I immediately
told Victors like, get Matt.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yeah, let's change.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Is this Daily Zeitgeist episode is now a mad yourself
a man episode?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I thought, You're like, oh, just Vince, you need Matt
otherwise he's not.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Sort I can't get shit out of Vince Dude without
Matt Man.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yes, true, he's my muse.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, well, well look at you. You tuned into this podcast,
and he thought maybe you'd hear Jack's voice. Well you
are mistaken. It's me and you are welcome to season three,
seventy seven, Episode five of the dailyes Ey Guys are
production of My Heart Radio. You already know this is
the podcast where we take a deep dive into America's sick,
fucked up shared consciousness. And it is Friday, February twenty eighth.

(01:44):
It's blackout Friday, where you know, people are encouraged in
maybe withhold giving the oligarchs your dollars today, because that
is that is one way we can rest control. They
need us to spend our money so they feel good.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
So just but just for one day, and neither is
these oligarchs and tournament a smaller guard.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Thank you to talk yet, thank you my co host,
thank you. I've got And for those maybe you've probably
read the description, I have brought the chaos from another
podcast basically into this one. But hey, it's an experiment
and we're all going through something, so let's just let
it fly. It is Friday, like I said, February twenty eighth,
which is National skip the straw Day. All right, Rare

(02:26):
Disease Day, USA. We it's a better be every day.
National Chocolate soup a Day, National tooth very Day, National
Floral Design Day, National Public Sleeping Day, which feels a
little bit odd. What does that mean? Just means take
a nap in the theater. That's a waste of money.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I feel like this is it's a way of, you know,
for the unhoused out there to be like this is
our day.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
I know in a way that it feels like one
of those things where because we live in a country
now where if you deigned to fall asleep outside, people
would amuse like, hey no lawyer man. Yeah, yeah, there's
just anyway. So there's a sleepy guy.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
He's having a good dream.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Pokem this guy's working three overtime shifts consecutively. Call the
cops anyway. My name is Miles Gray. AKA. Well it
seems to me you missed that drone. Now your sandal's
in the wind. Shout out to Bleaky Hack, referencing that
very fake promotional video for Steak that Drake was like

(03:30):
what's this drone doing looking at my weird betting website?
And then did the fakest sandal throw I've ever seen.
I think anyone who's had a chunk letter or seen
a chunk leta fly through the air, you'd be like,
that is not proper form, sir, But you are Canadian,
so it all makes sense. Anyway, I am thrilled to
be joined by my co host, the wonderful and talented comedian.

(03:53):
You know him from his podcast Bad has Bro. You
know him from the Frockcast, you know him from pot
I mean maybe maybe I'll save this because I'm gonna
say the same ship for our our guests too. Anyway,
you know the incomparable co host, mister matt leet Matt
leave a ka.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
If Matt leave me now, you'll take away the biggest
part of Matt.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Leave matt Le, Please don't go.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
I changed keys in the middle of there so I
could hit that false sttle note but no one will notice,
so delete that.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (04:31):
So great to have you? Great to have you, Matt.
And maybe people heard this in the cold open, but
Jack was out is out obviously that's why you know
you hear these powerful voices before you. Now, when I
saw the guests and I said, you know what, I've
been on a podcast with these two before, and I've
listened to the podcast they have together, the Frockcast, and
I look again, you can't check me out on Pod
Yourself a Gun, which was a Jeopardy fucking clue. I

(04:53):
caught that earlier this month. Shout out to that wonderful moment.
But our guest today, fantastic writer film critic. You know
him as the O G Film Drunk. You might know
the sub stack, the hashtag content report by Vince Mancini.
You might know again, Pod Yourself Done, Pod Yourself a Wire?
And now we are what mad yourself a man? That's

(05:14):
right talking about I'm guessing mad men. Anyway, welcome to
the podcast in our thirsty vis mec Yeah, give it
to her. Jj oh, Vince Ben, so good to see you,
so good to see, so good to be back.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I steal all of jos and Clinical's best lines and.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
You know, yeah, read with it. He is fine with it.
He's got a beautiful life and a beautiful wife.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Oh wow, and those are his beautiful That is his
beautiful wife, and that is.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
It is not his beautiful house. He actually lives with
his in laws, but otherwise is true.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
How did he get there?

Speaker 4 (05:54):
They let him move in? He lives, dude. Rhetorical questions for.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Beeople who don't. Okay, so people probably know just most
of our listeners are familiar with one or either or
both of you. But pod yourself a gun? I saw
this like, I caught that shit somewhat live like for
people posting yeah yeah, and I said, what the fuck
pod yourself? This was in a Jeopardy clue. Okay, do
you all know how the like? Now?

Speaker 3 (06:23):
No idea, no idea, but I do know this on Twitter?
Yeah I do know this. I was so excited by it.
So the category was TV rewatch podcasts, and ours was
a question for two hundred and it was essentially like,
pod yourself a gun is a reference to the theme song

(06:44):
of this you know HBO TV show, right, And they
said it was Sopranos and then they repeated it. Ken
Jennings said it twice, pot yourself a Gun? And I
was so excited that I watched the episode and all
of the other four, all of the other four in
the category where all TV we watch podcasts that are
hosted by actors who are on the show they're talking

(07:06):
about and that made me more proud than no.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
H Yeah, I feel like that makes it a great,
greater honor. I also feel like all of the other
podcasts are thus fake because, as i'd celebrity podcasts are
stolen valor.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
That's right, Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
That is true. Yeah, gone.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I like that if you.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
If you already are famous, you should be. It should
be illegal for you to podcast. That's what allowed, and
either you get a TV show or nothing. You can't
do a podcast. The podcast is the realm of the loser,
the freak, the more who.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's supposed to be a who's who exactly, and now
it's literally a who's who.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm like, that's why the Jeopardy clue is that what
is pod yourself?

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Again?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's what people should be asking because they don't know
about it, because they don't you know, we don't have
a promotional.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I might actually I might be paths with Jamielyn Sigler
and Robert Eyler a few weeks. Not they're they're not
gonna be on the show, but we're gonna be at
a similar event, and I'm just like, dude, I'm gonna
fucking freak them the funk out what I just pull up.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
If you see Jamilen Siegler be like, uh, hey, you know,
uh your friend Robert Eyler was on pod yourself a gun?

Speaker 4 (08:21):
What about you? Oh yeah, yeah, how come you haven't
been on it? And he Med?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I call her Med too when I pull up, Ye's
going on med.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
I going on the pod?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
The fuck? Uh Well, anyway, good having you both. Let's
tell everybody what we're gonna dive into in today's episode. First,
right wing media and politicians may look they are headed
for overtime shifts at the consent factory because it's time
to manufacture fucking consent for all these wacky I don't
even I don't even know if this shi is austerity anymore.

(08:51):
This ship is like just next level fuck you chaos
causing from Doge and the you know, Trump and the like.
So we'll touch in to see just kind of what
sort of stupid ideas the right wing media machine propaganda
machine is trying to seed into their brains, Like no,
it's totally fine that you have no way to be
alive anymore. It's actually good. So you know, let's let's

(09:14):
look at it that medicine is the deep State. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Actually,
we will now face medicine with Meadow Soprano, So just
watch episodes of The Sopranos and you know, hopefully you
will do a lot better. We may also touch on
the Great Golden Toilet Robbery, which is just now the
trial is going underway.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
And also that was actually Matt's nickname in high schoolt Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
And because you know, we were actually just talking about
Jeff Bezos aka sex Luthor, how he thinks he's sexy
lex Luthor. It is also unfortunately that comes along with
the passing of Gene Hackman, the original Lex Luthor, who
was at the moment death is completely shrouded in mystery.
So this is a podcast, so we will wildly speculate irresponsibly,

(10:04):
So we will look into what is going on there,
as well as just checking in with an Oscar front
runner that somehow doesn't have any US distribution. It's a
doc Some people are saying, well, there's documentary marks just
really cooked right now. Other people saying, is it because
like they're showing a slice of life for Palestinian people
in the occupied West Bank. Is that Oh it's good,

(10:27):
but it's but it's nominal. It's an oscar front runner,
not I no, no, no, no, it's just not an appetite
for it.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
So we'll talk about all of that and so much more.
But first, Vince, what's something from your search history that's
revealing about.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Who you are?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I searched how to fix iPhone charge report? Oh, because
I don't know if you guys have this problem. But
the thing's always loose. Makes me crazy. I'm trying to
drive around in my car, but it's like falling out
and loose. Yeah, it's loose. It doesn't you can't. The

(11:04):
thing's always falling out, and it's like the like the
number one thing in my life that you got.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
You got a bloody iPhone?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, what happened? What happened? You dropped a bunch? Never,
I'm like, no, that ship is not is in there?

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
How new is it mine?

Speaker 4 (11:20):
It's loose like a Matt's mom.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I mean I had my last one for like four years.
Look like the listeners. I told you we are infusing
two podcasts and one I know Jack, Jack and I
usually don't trade insults over the different show.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Today, Sorry, I got flustered and just it's just like
my based on that stand, couldn't let it stand.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
I mean, how do you so, what do you do?
Put a bunch of glue in there? What I am?
I sprayed?

Speaker 4 (11:49):
No, I don't know what you're supposed to do. That's
the other thing that you google did, but you didn't
read the result that you have. None of them were
good answers. It was like clean it out. I'm like, yeah,
I've already cleaned it out.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
But it's loose. You're out what I'm saying. It's loose.
It's not dirty, it's fucking dirty.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
There's like but yeah, there's space in there.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
They're moving around, chio integrity is compromised.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
Well, it's older. As things get older, they get looser.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, I guess it's not that old. It's like a fourteen.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I mean everything fucking sucks now.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
So everything sucks.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Number one being that you can't google something and find
out the answer anymore, right. Number two that you just
have to like buy different products from China and hope
one of them works, right, because like you know, you
buy the iPhone plugs, some of them work, some of
them don't.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
You don't really know what one and it works.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, okay, you just got to test it out see
which one actually works here?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Right right?

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Right? Oh shit.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
That's one thing you should know about me is that
I complain about everything. Like I'm seventy five years old.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, yeah, you don't look at day over seventy four? Man,
what's something you think is underrateds?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I mean, I maybe you shouldn't say this, being that
we have a podcast about Prestige TV. I feel like, uh, underrated.
You say underrated? Right, underrated? I say going to the movies.
A lot of people don't go to the theater anymore.
I still do, and I really have come to enjoy
it because it's like the only time when I'm like

(13:15):
your kids scrolling. Yeah, I'm just not being bothered by things.
And most of those things that are bothering me are
self induced. But like I can allow myself not to
be bothered in a movie theater and it's great.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah yeah yeah. Wait, So are you how old is
your kid? You said three? Three?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Have y'all been to a movie yet? We have? Still early?
Oh shit? What was I like?

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I took him to The Wild Robot and he had
a great time. He stayed and watched the whole movie.
He ate an entire thing of Sour Patch kids and
drank an entire icy And when we got home, as
soon as he walked in the door, he puked on
the floor of the and it was blue.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
It was great, And you're like, yeah, he's like, what'd
you do? We went to the park? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yeah, we were at the library, and it's.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Just sure, we should make called a doctor. Whatever you do.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
We were learning, for sure.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
It actually wasn't It wasn't like a huge, you know,
Exorcist style. It was just like a little one.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
And it wasn't a Baja blast. No, it was I
actually didn't know he did it blast. I didn't know
he did it until he said I threw up. And
you're like, oh, oh, yes, there's blue on the floor.
That's not just a new catchphrase you're trying out. That
is very right. That is blue vomit. What's something you
think is overrated?

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Vince? Yes, television? Not you not TV? What are you doing?
Not these TV podcast?

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Celebrity hosted podcast TV.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, it's just, uh, it feels like homework now you can't.
It's just every It's just there's there's a bunch of
different shows on a bunch of different channels, and you
can't I remember which one and like where you're watching
each of them and how far you're in. It's just
a it's too much. It's like my brain, my ad
D brain. It's having a lot of trouble with these days.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I think like I maxed out at whatever the program
offerings were around two thousand and six or seven. Oh yeah,
I was around like when I'm like, yeah, bro, I'm
up on everything.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Yeah, that was our most things. That was like every
show was good.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, right, Oh, maybe that's what I'm thinking bad. Yeah,
what happened to when it was good?

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Although they still knew they were making TV back in
the day. And now they're like, we're going to make
the twelve part movie and I'm like, guess what, That's
not how I'm watching it. And now I don't know
what's going on in sevens anymore. And I don't feel
like going back to try and figure it out. Too complicated.
I'd lost.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Is there like a I mean, Vince and Matt, like,
you guys, are you talk about hashtag content a lot?
Is there a phrase for like this feeling? Because I
think I talk about this a lot. So I don't
know half of them Marvel films because there's too many
came out and I'm like, yeah, Bros. At a certain point,
the discourse just takes off, and I'm like, wero, I'm
not putting in the fucking effort to be able to

(16:07):
participate because I didn't care enough to begin with. But
like the that feeling of being overwhelmed by the amount
of fucking TV and streaming shit that is, and you're
just like, I fuck it all. Actually, I'm gonna watch
old episodes of some other shit. I think.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, I think we're all siloed like in our different
you know, content bubbles, and I think like we've maybe
passed peak Piggy, like a few years ago, because like
at a certain point, like Marvel stopped making movies that
were supposed to you know, I mean, they still want
them to be big events, but they listen to the
piggies way too much. So now they are like strictly

(16:42):
for like the hardcore Marvel Piggy that really.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
The hogs are in control of the of the slot factory.
The hogs are at the wheel of the tractor.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, and so like you end up having way too
much content out there that's all shitty and is all
What's worse is it it's all interconnected. So in order
to understand one piece of slot, you have to already
be familiar with the previous slot portions.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yes, and it's just and if.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
You're watching a Marvel movie, like you kind of judge
the reactions of the people around you to figure out
if you're supposed to know a character that shows up
on social.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Cues to understand Superhero movie.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
You know, I was forget. It's like the kind of
share like a character will come in like peak their
head and be like, oh sorry and close the door,
and it was.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm You're like.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
They've been doing that with the goddamn Winter Soldier for
like the last ten years. Every single time I've seen
him on screen, there's been like this reaction where everybody's like,
oh my god, it's Bucky Barnes.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
I'm like, I don't know who that is.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Why am I.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Supposed to know that? I'm only Marvel? I know is
from season one in Flavor of Love. That's right, that's
right back again, TV, back to two thousand and six.
I'm stuck nineteen years ago. You should try it out,
gen Z.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
You know what though, like the whole country is stuck
in that era, because that was the era of programming
that gave us The Apprentice, which essentially created the myth
of Donald Trump. Like before that, like he was a
failed businessman. They went into Trump to I just read
the book about one of the books about Trump. They
like the producers of that show went into Trump Tower
and they're like, man, it smells like mildew. The carpet

(18:21):
is worn out, Like this places a piece of shit.
They had to rebuild it as like a TV set
for a show about a successful businessman. And that's like
the basis of his entire persona now.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Rather than like the office of like a tow truck yard. Yeah,
the fuck is that?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
I got some old nachos in here.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
It was like, yeah, it's like your but I'm trashy. Oh,
don't go into that room. It's just double quarter pounder wrappers.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
And also just the tostata. Just the bowl part. I'd
like to think the cornbowl. You can reuse the bowl,
the corn bowl? Bring me another cornball?

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, a list? You can finish your corn ball? Can
I have it?

Speaker 1 (19:05):
I can't do the accident as well as accent.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, yeah, Oh have you seen that dude who's recently
killing it with the elon?

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Oh my god, that dude's amazing.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Who is that guy brow that ship? I was like,
you have fucking I have not seen it? Oh here,
I'll play it.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
I'll have you not seen that?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Get it? You guys have the way your arm there, Steve.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
I was trying to make sure you knew that I
just doing the pun.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
But yeah, this is this guy Alex Byron. Yeah, yeah,
it's not really about that. You expect everything to be
easy now on Mars, it's gonna be really hard, you know,
So people are gonna wish their AIGs. It's so, what's

(19:57):
a really good point. It's just yeah, every it's the funny.
I think every Trump administration brings up like the rise
of the people who are just killing the fucking accents.
It was a tamanik last time. Yeah, and now it's
this guy. Anyway, let's take a quick break. We'll come
back to talk about oh yeah, fucking right wing shit

(20:17):
all right, right after this, and we're back. So it
seems like the last week the Trump administration has actually
managed to make some of his supporters question what the

(20:39):
fuck is he doing with the full on Dodge Doge
assault on federal workers. We saw a lot of town
halls that were going completely the wrong way for you know,
the Republicans who thought, they're like, bro, my district's so red,
they're gonna come in and be like those those those
those and they're like, hey, what the fuck happened? My
kids lost their job, I lost my job, were gonna

(21:00):
lose our jobs? What the fuck is happening? Now these
town halls have turned into screaming sessions, and it seems
like some of the common MAGA voters are beginning to
actually feel what some of these cuts are doing. Polling
has not really moved in any significant way because I
think as it stands, only about thirty technically around thirty
thousand jobs have been cut like cut cut, but I'm

(21:22):
sure that will widen as more of these cuts hit
more people. But these uh, you know, misinformed voters unfoord.
They voted for low prices, but completely missed all of
the other relevant details that indicated that this regime has
no interest in helping anyone except themselves. And now there.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Many times you can get fooled by the same guy.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, yeah, on either same lines.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I mean it's almost yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
It's almost like, wait, is this your first presidential election? Like,
is that doing the thing that he said he'd do?
This is why I voted. You're like, oh, my sweet
sweet child, my sweet November child.

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Weren't you.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
It's also instructive for the Democrats, where it's like how
many times you have to see a guy promise something
that he has no intention of doing before.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
You also start making some good promises. But if they're
not doing it, why should we that? Like, again, the
Republicans enable the Democrats' worst impulses just to fucking not
do anything because like, at least we're not them.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
No, it's the only thing they're gonna learn from this
is they're gonna be like, you know, the reason people
didn't like Donald Trump this time around is because he
kept trying to do things. So we're gonna do the
opposite of that and not do anything. Yeah, it's like, no,
do something good.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
We need to like impeach Hakeem Jefferies. Oh my god,
I can't handle hearing this guy talk and be this
is the this is the most shook person I've ever seen,
never my life, is it? Like?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Who who trained like media trained him to be like,
you know, all right, So what you're gonna do is
you're gonna go on these shows and when they ask you,
what are you gonna do about Donald Trump? Make sure
you let everyone know that you're scared and there's nothing
you can do and just start trembling and I'm powerless.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Second of all, I just pissed my pants and I
got no leverage.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
First of all, I have no leverage. Second of all,
it's not pissed. It's not pissed.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Somebody else pissed off my pants.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Okay, thank you, Minority leader Jeffries.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
I hate I have not heard him talk. Do we
have like a clip or something like? I honestly like
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
I like, I've read really about his voice, about everything
he says, just like a long nothing.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
It's a long nothing.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
That's that is, you know if condensed is we can't
do anything, that we have no power and and sort
of implying and it's your fault everyone who didn't vote
for you know, uh, the either Kamala or Biden or
any or anyone.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
It's just this is this is pretty good. This is
where Hakeem Jeffries is like, oh, I can do nicknames too,
I'm witty.

Speaker 7 (23:57):
Oh god, Chaos and extreme bag. Republicans spent Captain Chaos
last year promising to lower the high cost of living
and running away from Project twenty twenty five as.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
If it didn't exist.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Sorry, one more time, Captain Chaos. Okay, Captain Chaos. Cool
cool cool cool cool cool cool.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah yeah yeah, we love that.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah there and then yeah he goes into Project twenty five,
which is my favorite thing. Like they spent the whole
election season like pumping that. It's like that name doesn't
mean anything to people, Like that name means that you
have to do your homework to figure out what it is.
No Americans do homework like that is our basic we.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Know this homework. We keeat in America. That's what we've
been trained to do. This is another one where they're like,
what if like Andrew disgraced Governor Andrew Cuomo like entered
the mayor's race. This is Geme Jeffries on that Andrew.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
Komo is potentially going to jump into the mayor's race
as early as this week. You've seen at least one
of your colleagues here on the Hill endorse him. You
called from the resign a few years ago. Should he
be engaging in the manor sax.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
I haven't had a conversation with Governor Cuomo at this point.
I do look forward to speaking with him sooner rather
than later, if in fact he's going to jump into
the maze race, and then we'll take it from them.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
Would it be good for New York if he did?

Speaker 7 (25:15):
I think it'd be a candidate that a lot of people,
as I've heard from the district that I represent, would
be very interested in.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Checking out Jesus Christ. Why do we what? What?

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Like? Invertebrates? Yeah, invertebrates they're all jellyfish.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
They're full. But not even a man of war, not
even a man a war, not even the scariest, but
the ones they're smoking weed and finding nemo shit.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
It's the it's the style of talking where you were
like you were saying like, I don't know, we'll take
that under consideration, but you stretch it out into like
four sentences and you're doing you're you're using lots of
like hand signals, like you're using hand signal to underline
the idea that you don't know, and you don't can't
answer that.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yes, it's a lot of words for I'm scared and
I just pissed myself.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Some of these politicians they've just been doing this for
so long, they've completely just lost touch with how to
just speak normally. Yes, I feel like even Hakeem Jeffreys,
even if he like probably been like hell no, Andrew Colemosin,
even if he did that, that's not his first thought.
It's the first thing is like programming, go behay, here
we go.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Anyway, So the GOP right, there's clearly a growing number
of people like GOP voters are definitely souring on Musk,
Like specifically, you see movement in polls that are saying,
people like Dode, what the fuck is Musk doing? The stuff?
With Trump? Not so much like there's there's a lot
of polls that show there's very little movement again because
I think a lot of these a lot of people

(26:46):
haven't quite realized what is about to happen, especially now
with this new budget resolution that's been passed. But it's
clear now that the propaganda machine has very clear orders
to manufacture consent for these this fucking again austerity measures.
It feels like a euphemism to even call it these
austerity that.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Like he implies that they have.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
A money Yeah right, yeah, well that too.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
I mean, if you want to save money, you could
cancel like one of Musk's government contracts that he makes
the majority of his living from.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
But yeah, they're like, it's like it's like you have
like there's like an annoying hum coming from a light
in the house, and like what if we just cut
the transmission line to the house. Yeah, it's like that's
how we can solve it. I I don't know whatever.
And in a way, I think, you know, obviously these
very wealthy people will benefit from all the cast But
I just want to touch on a few things that

(27:39):
I've just seen it last day. In USA Today, there's
an op ed that's basically telling people, like, you know what,
like what Trump and Musk are doing is great, ignore
all the haters. I believe the headline is tune out
media hysteria. Those is exposing absurdities, and Americans support it.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
M Yeah, I love USA Today, my number one trusted
news source for what's happening in the USA.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
For people who wake up at a holiday in express,
it is our number one paper? Do they still print
or at this point are they just all I think
it's like so they still do yeah, I mean because
I think they were the first one to have like color, right,
and that's why claim to like, we're the first thing
to use color printing, but then we stopped because of
DEI you know. Yeah, so this is this is just

(28:27):
one of the sentences in here that is so aimed
squarely aimed at Republicans who might be questioning what's going on.
Quote change is hard, Losing your job is very hard,
So it's understandable why many federal workers are feeling attacked.
About thirty thousand employees have lost their job so far. However,
it's you and I who pay their salaries, and it's
past time to ensure that our tax dollars are used

(28:49):
in the best possible way. I'm sorry if you're the
person that, Okay, sure, they're making this about again wanting
to pay the entire federal workforce as just loafers and
people who are just siphoning money out of the economy
rather than the people at the top who are actually
doing this right now.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Yeah, it's a really roundabout way, like for politicians to
lay blame on themselves without blaming themselves. They're just like, yeah,
you're right, there is a problem with the federal government
in Washington. And no it's not us who all live
off the teet of lobby money. No, no, no, no,
it is the person who works at cubicle answering phone. Yes,

(29:29):
it is everything that the government funds that I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
How do you do that? Who's anyway? So again we're
seeing every kind of logic being wheeled out. So next
I want to touch in with Jesse Waters, who's obviously
one of the eight our time, yeah, and one of
the you know, the I think most respected intellectuals on
the right at the moment. Absolutely, this is him just

(29:53):
basically trying another version of like why do we need
people who work for.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
The federal government at all?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
This time he's attacking park rangers.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
The bear the bears.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
So when you go camping in a national park, judge,
the first thing you do is you go to the
park ranger and ask should I feed the bears?

Speaker 7 (30:13):
No?

Speaker 8 (30:14):
I did a little research on bear attacks and fatalities
in North America during the pandemic. We shut down the
national parks and we didn't have a single park ranger.
How many people died from bear attacks that year when
there was zero park rangers one American?

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Well, there's zero people in the goddamn parks.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
He learned that the main thing that park rangers do
is keep people from getting eaten by bits because he's
watching fucking yogi bears.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
He's like, we all know what park rangers do is
they get their picnic baskets.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Exactly, that's what they do. They prevent us from getting
people's picanic baskets.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, and you know what, guess what, they keep feeding
the bears inadvertently, and they're getting fat off that those
fat bears.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Was where in a tie, like he's clearly made an
industry out of this.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
And he had one of those like straw hats that
you see people wear when they usually got like the
what's that thing on their arms the garters on their
arms and they're like in a acappella band. Anyway, this
logic is so flimsy too, to be like, well, the
parks were shut down, but again, does it mean people
were going to Yeah?

Speaker 3 (31:20):
No, literally, they weren't going to the fucking parks. It
was a goddamn pandemic like it is just and he died.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Okay, well go on, let's please please lay out your
infallible logic one more time, Jesse.

Speaker 8 (31:32):
All of the park rangers the next year, four thousand
park rangers. You know how many bear attacks one The
amount of park rangers has nothing to do with how
many people's lives they saved from bear attacks.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
How did you get on bear attack?

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Did we start with bears? Why did we start with bears?

Speaker 2 (31:51):
That's the question, I'm sure because this when they are
on the five, it's like, you know, Judge drunk Ass
is probably saying like yeah, they're like, thank you your honor,
thank you your honor. Yes exactly, that's that's what I mean.
The bears are attacking. Yeah, No, they don't just do that.
I think anyone who's been to a national park or
every or fucking even needed the help of a park ranger,

(32:14):
probably because you're injured or fucking you know, some of
the heat exhaustion. You know, thetice they do. They maintain
the fucking parks, and shit crazy to try and reduce
that job to being like they are the bear pointer outers.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, yeah, they're the bear police. That's also like I
would imagine a bear attack usually happens like near your house,
where like bears are coming to try and get food,
and you don't face that problem in a national park
because you're not allowed to pull the house there. I'm like,
the fucking point of it, God damn it, because I
feel like I feel.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
The other thing you'd say is, I'm sure people have
seen videos where people like are at Yellowstone or something
like trying to hug a fucking buffalo or some wild
dumb this summer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then you're like, yeah,
it's because dumb fun want to try and do shit
like that and disturb the wildlife and probably end up
getting themselves fucked over real good by gigantic animal. You
need people to unfortunately not just be like beware, but

(33:11):
to also keep idiots from hurting themselves. All that to say, yeah,
they're just they they point at bears and there's four
thousand of them and they're not needed, so don't cry
over them.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Okay, Now listen, you guys. If you guys want to
take if you guys want to be the party of
taking selfies next to bears, I think that is that
is the what.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
That's what you should do.

Speaker 8 (33:32):
You.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
You don't need to know Park Granger telling you what
to do.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Just go right up to that elk, get yourself a selfie,
and if anybody tries to tell you not to do that,
they're woke and.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
You should try.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Thank you, Thank you, thank you. Let's move on to
our next example, because everyone is getting in on this
because again, it's so fucking unpopular to take away programs
that people fucking rely on to survive, like Medicaid. So
here is Ben Shapiro now doing his putting in his
shift to tell people like Medicaid, Medicaid is like not

(34:04):
even like a four month an insurance. Okay, here's Ben
Shapiro with his bullshit.

Speaker 9 (34:10):
Are truly atrocious, just in speaking in terms of public policy,
speaking in terms of health outcomes, there's some good studies
that actually demonstrate that Medicaid coverage is no better than
you having no coverage and just going for emergency care
to the hospital.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Why.

Speaker 9 (34:23):
Because the reimbursement rates on Medicaid are so low that
doctors don't even take Medicaid. Good doctors don't like taking
Medicaid because the reimbursement rates are pennies on the dollar
of what they could earn from private insurance.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Exactly. I went to the emergency room with a little
toy car in my butt that someone put in a
condom for a bit we are doing, and the guy
wouldn't even see me because I had Medicaid. Again, what
the fuck is he saying? His quote is there's some
good studies that actually demonstrate that medicaid coverage is no
better than you having no coverage and just going for

(34:55):
emergency care to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Which is is I broke my arm when a toadchool
f on me and I tried to her.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
And also, just for the record, it wasn't a toy car.
It was a Ben Schapiro sized car in my botty hole.
It was in my treehouse making cookies.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
We were working on a new recipe of el fudges.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
But like literally, like, so, my daughter is on Medicaid
because she's little and because you know, podcasting doesn't pay
the bills, and it's like the idea that she would
be better off with no health insurance is absolutely insane,
completely insane.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
It makes classic sense.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
This is the classic playbook, is that they get into
power and they make sure things don't work, and then
they then they cut those things by saying they don't work.
It's like, okay, like you go in and you cut
the funding out of something and then and then you're like,
see it doesn't even it's not even good for anything,
So now we can just kill it completely.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
It's like, oh, I don't know, that's gonna be hard
when sixty to seventy million people are on Medicaid and
they're not gonna be like, yeah, dude, I'm better off
not having this shit. Finding me that person, find me
that person. Truly, I'm sure you can find somebody who's
an opportunist and just sell their own soul out, just
as they get on Fox. But like again for other
research Ben has here, Well, here's another piece of research. Ben, Okay,

(36:17):
a large body of research shows that medicaid beneficiaries have
substantially better access to care than people who are uninsured,
who are also primarily low income and are less likely
to postpone or go without needed care due to cost,
as federal rules generally limit our out of pocket Medicaid costs.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
So yeah, not only that, but also like the Medicaid,
at least for my daughter, is better than my fucking
private health insurance. Like she like she is getting. It's
like the fucking ten dollars copays. Everything is like paid
for with this goddamn thing, and meanwhile I get bills.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
For random share.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
I have to go to the doctor every month to
get a prescription refilled because they won't refill it without
me coming in, So I gotta do a thirty dollars
to pay just so I can get the medication that
is also thirty dollars.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, this fucking it's It's also like, oh, well, doctors
don't want to take that because you know they have
they don't get enough reimbursement, and their student loans are
too high they have to keep paying them back.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
It's like, okay, well let us cancel the student loans.
Yeah no, no, no, we can't or.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Maybe change this, like predatory healthcare system were even a thing.
We're like, well, we're we're not going to make enough
money helping this person.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
So no, you're the government, you decide how fast you
can reimburse the doctors.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
The thing is is they make that shit impossible.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
They did the same thing with the Obamacare and the
the Affordable Care Act, where like now people aren't taking
covered California because it takes too long to get reimbursed.
The only reason it takes too long to get reimbursed
is because the people in charge of doing the reimbursements
are the ones who are fucking like, hey, let's get
rid of this goddamn you know, ACA, let's get rid

(37:58):
of Obamacare, let's get rid of Medicaid and Medicare.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Again, just another stat outside of you know, his very
fucking nonsensical argument that it's not good healthcare. Sixty three percent.
As of July twenty twenty four, Medicaid was the primary
payer for sixty three percent of nursing facility residents. Yeah,
so fuck like again, this is this is so fucking diabolical,

(38:22):
and these are the facts that people really need to understand, Like,
these cuts are going to lead to people literally, you know, dying. Yeah,
that's just that's there's no way to cut that. And
all these using words like savings to completely obscure their
policies are saving what.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
No one is getting money from this except for you
guys being freeing enough money for another Starling contract.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
It's so fucking ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
And uh, yeah, you know, and these all these people,
to the man everyone you just played, they also coincidentally
have some really strong words about Luigi Mangioni and do
not understand why people like him.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
But yeah, this is why caping for the wrong people
always at least they're consistent. And again, you know, like
the logic here is and I encourage all listeners to
have confrontations with people that are like, no, it's actually good, okay,
and how are how are they gonna what do you mean?
This is just gonna go to the wealthiest. So if
these programs are gone they don't need funding, which they

(39:22):
don't need funding, they can they can basically say they
can justify doing ship like well Musk and Bezos. You
don't need them to pay their fair share at all
because there's just no need for it because these programs
are gone. That's what the fuck we're talking about anyway.
So I don't know what the silver lining is here,
but I feel like I don't know the Gilded Age
led to, you know, just a huge spike in popularity

(39:45):
and socialist policies.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Up until the New Deal. I like to go the
right way. The optimism is, well, it's always darkest before
the dawn. When's that fucking dawn coming, Miles, I.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Well,
it will come. It's gonna be here. Don't just fucking
just wait a little bit. Okay, all right, let's take
a quick break and we'll come back to just swing
our focus to Tinseltown for a moment, because there's a
lot happening there and we're back so again just wild.

(40:27):
We were just talking about Lex Luthor and evil people
and just the greatest Lex Luthor of them all, Gene Hackman,
passed away. This is a very again this as this
we found out maybe hours before recording this, because you
know this is this is when it was all announced.
But he passed away at the age of ninety five

(40:47):
years old, you know, legend in the game, and the
circumstances around the death are bizarre and also very tragic.
He was found dead in his New Mexico home along
with his wife, who is sixty four years old, and
like one of their dogs also passed away. To two
did it? There's a search warrant that you know, I

(41:09):
think tmzre when somehow they just get this shit, they're like, well,
according to this legal toutchment, we were able to find
the desks were quote suspicious enough in nature to acquire
a thorough search and investigation. There's things that like people
had come to the home and found them sort of
around the house dead. They found that, you know, there
was like some pills scattered on the counter. There was

(41:31):
like a heater moved. People aren't quite sure what is
going on, Yo, that's crazy. Said, No, foul play is
suspected at the time, but again they're also there what
they said, there were no signs of a carbon monoxide leak,
which I think is what most people would be like,
that's probably.

Speaker 4 (41:49):
What That's what I thought. They're saying, there's no signs
of it. Now I really don't know what happened.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy if it was an.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Assassination, because no, like I mean, Gene Hackman was already
nine five is just wait a week.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
It sounds like Gene Hackman died and then his wife
may have gotten depressed about it, because they said there
was a bottle of prescription pills out on the counter,
with pills scattered everywhere. They weren't found for a while,
like the one dog. They said, at least right, it
was more than that. I think he said she was
like partially mummified or something like that, like, uh, what
there was like she'd.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Been dead a while, the dog that died. I don't think,
I know.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I don't think I know what mummified means.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's got toilet paper around her and
staggering around trying to trying to choke you. She really
wanted wants to get in there. No, I don't know either.
I think she was, you know, she was, she was
depos been a while. So and then the dog they
said was dead was in a kennel. So like if
they died a while ago. Uh, and the one dog

(42:53):
that died was the one that was in a kennel
and get food, I would imagine maybe it just starved
because they died hydration.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
Yeah, man, just like you know, a week Michelle Trachtenberg,
Gene Hackman, just a yeah, back to back crazy.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
What what did Michelle Trachtenberg die of?

Speaker 2 (43:12):
They don't know. I mean they she had a liver
transplant recently, and so she was she was in poor health, So.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
I'm okay, so she was already sick with something.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah, but they don't. I think there was some headline
about like the family, Like I think presuming to be
fine with that and they weren't going to do an autopsy.
But again they happened in.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Three, So well, who's the third.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
I don't know, I don't I just we just don't know,
and let's not speculate. But again, speaking of punching up
and speaking up for the downtrodden, I just want to
touch on you know, the Oscars are coming up and
one of the favorites to win in the documentary Best
Documentary category still doesn't have US distribution. This is the

(43:58):
documentary called No Other Land, and it's basically about Israel's
demolition of the West Bank village of Masafer Yata and
this land was seized and they're like, this actually is
our new trip tank training course, not your home. This
won the top prize at the Brillianall Film Festival, but
even at that time, it's like one. There was controversy

(44:20):
around it because the filmmaking team, which includes both Palestinian
and Israeli filmmakers, they use the speech to call for
a sea spire, just saying where there needs to be
a ceaspire, this violence needs to cease.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Uh and hold did they preface that by saying that
Israel has a right to defend itself, and we can.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
We can.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
You can't just say things without first prefacing it with
something that defangs the thing you're about to say.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
I was merely just saying innocent people need to stop dying.
That's pretty That's literally what I all know.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
You gotta preface it. You gotta preface it or else.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
You know. It's really funny about that Berlin ally thing
was I think there was a German politician of some
sort or diplomat maybe some German of note who was
there who got like just raked over the coals in
the German press because she was clapping for them after
the screening, and then she clarified, no, no, no, I
was clapping for the Israeli filmmaker, not the Palestinian. Literally,

(45:24):
that was her explanation for why she shouldn't be in trouble.
It's they were standing next to each other like no, no, no, no, no,
cover your ears, Palestinian filmmakers, Israel for them, it's for them.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah. So then it was nominated for an oscar because
it's a very compelling piece. Still no distributor in the
United States, so the directors have launched basically a self
distribution plan that got the film into like twenty three
theaters and actually did really well despite this small sort
of box office footprint that they had. And now you know,
I think a lot of people are not like, as

(46:01):
this the Oscar race heats up, it's not really being
talked about, but the people that are really pointing out
like this isn't some sensational like hit job, Like this
is truly just a very just matter of fact documentary.
Like the co director, Basiladra, who's in the film, just
started filming what was happening around him. That's how this

(46:22):
thing started, right, And his hope wasn't to be like, yeah,
oh shit, this is gonna get me an Oscar again.
It was out of his need, out of his desire
to actually have a record of what is happening to
the people around him in his community, so it would
hopefully inspire the US to change their policies or at
least a pressure Israel to stop the expulsion. This was

(46:43):
back in twenty nineteen, So now you know, they're really
really focused on getting a US distribution deal because again
they as they say it, they want Americans to quote
see what their money is doing to us. And I
think that's really I think it's really powerful because again,
in America we are the most propagandized people. We are
absolutely they put blinders on very intentionally to many things

(47:07):
that are happening, especially when it intersects with US imperialism
and hegemony. So yeah, like would be would be a
great moment. But anyway, yes, right.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
There's also another wrinkle, which is that gal Gadot is
supposedly presenting the Best Documentary Award.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Yes, there's a rumor really no really, yeah, I don't
know if it's real, but the.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
Rumor going around just trying to figure that out.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
Is that gal Gadot is supposed to be, uh the
presenter for that category, which everyone is just like the
Academy has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
and make her have to say no other land, Yeah
it is. You know, this movie, like a lot of
movies in this very particular genre or documentaries in the

(47:53):
genre is for a for a while now, has been
you know, kind of put in the same category as
just like.

Speaker 4 (48:02):
Oh, something you upload on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
You know, like whenever it comes to movies about what's
happening in Palestine, there's always this like you're either you're
you're you almost never see why distribution for it, and
and it's it's crazy that one can literally be nominated
for an Oscar and still people are like, I don't

(48:25):
really know if it's any good.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Yeah right, I don't know if anyone wants to see this.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I don't know if anyone wants to see this very
harrowing piece of documentary filmmaking.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Also, like in the age of streaming, like it's not
like it was, you know, eight years ago or nine
years ago. It costs you nothing, you don't have to
figure out like what theater to put it in. Streaming
has like endless, endless lots for documentaries that they you know,
they're constantly making and distributing those.

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Well, and like to that point, like Netflix, that you know,
has a shitload of documentaries and a lot of people
consume a ton of documentary conspicuously purged nineteen films from
a collection they had within the Netflix app called Palestinian
Stories last fall, and they and their whole thing was
just like, oh, the deals lapsed, so like we just
that's why they're not there anymore.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
What they did, they laugh, Oh, October seventh is when
they lapsed.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Weirdly, that was just kind of that was this weird coincidence.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Maybe I don't know. But again, and now like the
page for that section just just like intentionally left blank,
which is a really fucked up visual, just to be
like yikes.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
But again this is also from within the industry. A
lot of distributors claim that the directors were offered distribution
deals but they were kind of smaller, and that they
turned it down because they want to use the lack
of distribution access for publicity purposes.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Oh yeah, this is the the the old Hollywood distributing yourself.
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is this is what
they always this is what they always claim anytime there
is an actual injustice. It's just like, oh, well, you're
only saying there is because you want a headline. And
it's like, no, literally, it is. We are taping you
doing injustices. What do we have to do to convince

(50:09):
doing this.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
I'm actually doing this because these aren't headlines, right, it's
the problem, and I'm trying to bring added awareness to
this situation. So yeah, any any oscar any Look, as
someone who again I was saying, I'm so overwhelmed by
the amount of films that are out. What what wish
I watch before the Oscars? What have you seen Anora?

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yet?

Speaker 2 (50:31):
I saw Nora because I was like, I was like,
it's Armenian gangsters in there. Yes, I want to see
that as someone grew up in La Like, I was
very much like, oh, look at this Armenian representation. I'm
like that this isn't something you see much in big
movies these days.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
Yeah, except they're not even really gangsters. They're just like
I do for the other gangster with me a lot.
They're so bumbling, it's so funny. That's actually pretty much
the only one I've seen. I also hear a lot
about Conclave.

Speaker 9 (50:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
I was gonna say the top three easily.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
I mean, like all the all the best pictures are
like decent, but I feel like there's a clear top
three and the rest are like ways behind. Top three
are a Nora, Conclave and Nickel Boys to me, and
then you know the other ones are there's some other
good ones, but I think those are the three best.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
And yeah, Jack keeps saying is like I had a
lot of fun watching Conclave. I'm like, it's fun. It
is the mean Catholicism so fun.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Vince, you were saying it's better than two Popes, right, yes, dude,
I watched it.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
I was like for.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
They because like, that's my favorite pope movie. Yeah, it's
like Goes two Popes, Godfather three, Sister Act one.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
Oh yeah, the Pope shows up at the end of
Sister Act one.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I don't know if because how do you feel about
young Pope.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
I'm not into young Pope.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
I tried to enjoy Young Pope, but then I was
just like he's too young man.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Yeah, yeah, he's not poping enough.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Yeah, which experience is what's happening with Pope?

Speaker 4 (52:00):
With real Pope? Is he dead? No?

Speaker 1 (52:02):
No, he's like and then he's but he's old, but
he's so he's like he didn't die.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
He's still showing slight slight improvement is the last thing. Yeah,
doing respiratory therapy.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
I mean, like, I don't, you know, think he is
God or whatever that. I don't know what Catholics they
think that. They think that the Pope is like friends
with God. Right, yeah, he gets to wear God's favorite hat. Okay, cool,
you can't be Yeah, if you wear in that hat,
you gotta be tight with God.

Speaker 4 (52:30):
Yeah. Yeah, No, one could call me stupid. This is
God's favorite hat.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
It's it's like, it's like you're a patched in biker,
you know what I mean. It's it's like, Yo, unless
you met God, we can't have that shit. You can't
have you up for having that.

Speaker 3 (52:43):
Do you talk to God? Well, then take all that
mom goals patch. But yeah, like I like, I like
this pope. I mean, you know, I don't know much
about him, but occasionally he'll say something and I'll be like, oh,
it's pretty good for a pope.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
Yeah, exactly, which is a very low buddy bar.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
He'll be like, blessing children is bad. I'll be like,
oh what.

Speaker 2 (53:05):

(57:14):
It's really only three things this is from It's from
at Rick the Squirrel Underscore. It's a compilation of Godzilla
getting hit in the balls. And there's just like these
moments and these Godzilla movies. For one is he's just
getting dropped like Mathra drops him just dick down onto
a transmission line. Then he gets a lightning blast and

King Vincey. Whoa, that's that's a bit of a coincidence.
But it's spelled kV N g v I n c

basically one of those tracks where someone is taking, you know,
just flipping a like a viral clip and making it
