the first meal with the Pilgrims.

Sex that was released in Australia.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That's the usion they got.
Speaker 2 (03:29):

that they had for the astronauts, and it always annoys
my partner, her Majesty.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Because I go up and go this beekle bag, and
she's like, why do you always do this? Because you
always react to it. Apollo thirteen. One of my favorite
details in Apollo thirteen is when they take twenty seconds
out of the film to just be like, I bet
they want to see Tom Hanks piss into space. Oh
right too, and yeah, you just get to see Pe
(05:01):
on God's universe.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
How much did that cost? Because isn't like a zero
Is there any zero g happening in that scene or no?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I think that's mostly computer graphics. What would be my guess?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It wasn't his actual zero gravity.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Pe because you're like kind of tight on his face.
I think as he's.
Speaker 4 (05:18):

being like just a thing that he fits into every movie.

romantic partner, some manner of shitting into a bag that's
always been your thing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, what can I sell that? What can I say?
You want to watch Billy Madison? She's like, are you

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Well, they said what do you think about this day?
And I said, that's hilarious. You're not serious, right thoughts Well,
I was like that's kind of famous and not for comedy, right,
And then they were like when we said what do
you think, we were like, it's gonna come out that day,
just so you know. And I was like, all right,
here we go, let's do it. Great.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I want to hear you, hear you complain about it
before we told you that. That was exactly what it's
gonna be.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, it was very much the way that they asked
like what do you think about this? In the way
that I ask my toddler like do you want to
go home? Now? It's like, well, the answer is yes,
you just say whatever, we're going to that.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah, we're going to go home, and you may claw
my face off in anger, but yeah, we have to go,
and we have to go.

guy's a riot. And then there's something like other people
listening in laughing. Anyways, that's the date, Chris. Uh, you're
excited to get it out there on. Yeah, so the
New Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's right, the New Independence Sector. And I should say,
you know, I know that the Daily kind of skews
politically left. Of course, my book is a far right manifesto. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. Yeah, we're trying to brand ourselves just as
a centrist podcast in case they deem this show like
some kind of anti American propaganda out let's oh, we're
calling ourselves Republicans.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Now, yeah, we've we've actually changed our angle. Arry Wis
is our new editor in chief.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And long may she rain wen't wait to have it's
going to be you know, let me yeah, let me
also just say I I did think before I came
on this there's no doubt in my mind that when
I get thrown into goolog these episodes will be a
huge piece of the trial. And I'm thrilled for that. Chris.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We released so many of them even yeah, you know,
nobody's gonna know, nobody's gonna be able to find these things.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Oh to me, that's a positive. Big enough, We're not
big enough. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's the other that we figured out is that nobody
nobody thinks, you know, Trump's not listening.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
As I love that being your your excuse in front
of the military tribunal, You're like, it really is not
as popular as you're making it sound. I mean, look
at these download numbers, my honor. It was just like,
you're basically about to shoot us for like a meeting
with a few friends that we had quietly. This is
so unfair. It was like an effective ad sales machine
only for like certain grands and companies. Okay please, oh no, dude,
(09:50):
there were there were black rifle coffee ads aarrently running
on this show.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
That's got to count for something that actually does that
absolutely does count. They're like, oh, actually, oh wait a set,
maybe that's the filter they use any show that had
black rifle coffee. As he's gonna say safe and through
that error, they're like and this is Yeah, it is
an incredibly you know, incredibly damning indetment of the economy
when you see like what the podcast adds are at
(10:14):
that particular moment, Like a couple of years ago, was
like we're sending people mattresses and physical products, and then
recently it's been like, would you be willing to advertise
like an injectible brain serum that you stick straight into
your skull And I'm like, probably not finish.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's powered by AI. AI powered injectable brain serum. Go on, Chris,
We're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get
to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
First, we got to talk about these new AI products
that are being sold. Now, actually we are going to
talk about I guess a form of AI Elon's newest invention.
We're talking at least ten trill on These bad boys,
Hell are robot bin trill ten T We're going to
tend t that shit it. Yeah, there's a rope, but
(11:01):
there's a video that he posted of a robot learning
kung fu that he's like enough said, So we'll talk
about that. We'll talk about the popularity of the shutdown,
we'll talk about ICE's plans for the super Bowl. Christy
nome Is is pissed talking about talking like she's about
to go to war with the super Bowl, I guess.
(11:25):
And we might even talk about SNL and the version
of Trump on SNL versus version of Trump in reality,
all of that plenty more. But first, Chris, we do
like to ask our guest, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
You know? I recently went to a coffee shop in Burbank,
and afterwards I googled their name and said, is Romancing
the being a reference to a movie or something? Because
it just seemed like that had to be too sexual
of a name for a coffee shop to not be
a reference for something. Yeah, Romance in the Stone. Yeah,
because at first I was like, that is a that
(12:00):
is a sweaty coffee shop bean. Come up from Yeah,
Romancing the Bean. Oh a big Kathleen Turner fans. What
that's right? There's how they were. What are you talking about?
Yeah they were, We're talking about the downstairs. It was
great great coffee though, great coffee and great movie, both
both things that I learned about. What are you doing?
That's just because you're not You're not La based, are you? Yeah?
(12:23):
Yeah I am, Oh you are.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Okay, I thought, oh, you're just from You're from New York, right,
from New York. Yeah, that's what That's what I was
getting mixed up. I'm like, because like, you're you're a
magnolia like that.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That romancing to be just some deep polls, you know,
the street and you know, I grew.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
After I know that's this is my my this is
where I was running around on a bicycle all day.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. Oh incredible. Yeah, that's that's my most recent one.
And then you know, a deeper one is I have
a newborn baby at home. So I was go going
how to make a baby smile at you? Because listen,
I'm desperate for approval, even from an infant that can't
probably language.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Or yeah, who doesn't have many neurological capabilities to smile.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Trying to find hacks to be like is this good?
Is this it work for you? Okay, all right, we'll
try something else. Hey, Hey baby, wait, how's your baby? Chris?
Seven weeks? Oh? Oh very new you wow?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, I mean I usually cantill I was killing with
my kids when they were seven weeks old is a kidnapping.
Bring the kid over here right now. Let's see Jack,
we'll get a smile. We're gonna get taken down. You
just said kidnapping.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Hold on, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Black rifle coffee, Black rifle coffee, Black rifle coffee should
get it out.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
One of my deepest fears is that I'm like, I
can't make my baby smile, and then I bring it
over to the zoom thing and Jack just like makes
one expression of the baby smiles and laughs, and I'm like,
it is Jackson's doesn't It just goes.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Jack?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Now that's my ship right there. What how'd you get
him to say that? I don't know, man, what is
the What do you thinks underrated? You know, we're in
the fall season here, and I gotta say, I think
pumpkin spice is underrated. I think it had a loop
where it got so popular with basic, annoying white people
that people then started thinking that pumpkin spice itself wasn't good,
(14:14):
and now I think it's great. I think it's underrated
because people think it is annoying like the people who
like it, And it's quite possible that I'm one of
those annoying people who like it, but it's also love
a spice that's named after a thing that's not in it.
Heero pumpkin and pumpkin spice.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You gotta love that, evolks say time of year that
is associated with pumpkin, and that's basically how it came together.
And I think it like also probably evokes a little
bit of pumpkin pie.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Also doesn't really taste.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Like well, that's like the flavoring, like the nutmeg aspect
of it, right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It's like how they have Yankee candles that, like, some
Yankee candles smell like what they're like vanilla, and then
they'll have Yankee candles that will be like a winter's memory,
your grandmother's face.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, it smells like lotion. The ice cream store, the
fancy ice cream store, Salt and Straw has a Halloween
season flavor that is essence of ghost and the fuck
out here, which is because it is the most kid
unfriendly flavor profile. It's black licorice and whiskey. Oh no,
(15:20):
are you for real?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, And my seven year old was like, give me
a taste of that, and I'm like, first of all,
like obviously he's gonna like essence of ghost is like, yeah,
that sounds fucking. It's like you're gonna hand me a
ghost and then to make it it's kind of like
a fucked up prank that I kind of appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, so did he eat it? And his like face
turned inside out just like he I tasted it. I
was like, let me just because I could tell from
the look that they were the ice cream barista was
giving me, so this was not gonna go well. And
so I gave it a little taste and I was like,
I don't think you're gonna like it, and he, you know,
soldiered On touched his tongue to it and was like, fuck,
that smiled at me. Since the Fancy ice Cream story
(16:03):
in San Francisco, Humphrey Slocum, they had a flavor maybe
they still have a flavor called a Secret Breakfast that
was bourbon and cornflakes, and that was great. That makes sense. Yeah,
we all we've all had those two been there, but
absolutely we saw ghosts of ghost. Nah.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, what what is your pumpkin spice delivery system? Is
it a latte or are you one of those? And
I don't want to reveal where I stand on this,
But are you one of those sick freaks who likes
like pumpkin spice cheerios and shit.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh no, no, I think that's a that's a bridge
too far. No, No, that's disgusting. That's disgusting. And the
people who like the executed all right, Yeah, speaking the
language of our time, I'll put it in a pie,
or I'll put it on a in a hot drink.
That's where. That's where I want my spice.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah, that had a cookie recently that was like but
they called it fall spice. I think they were trying
to do a thing where like they didn't want to
trigger people with the word pumpkin spice, but they said
falls by them like, look, this shit is orange as hell.
We know what we're doing here, and it was delicious,
And I think, yeah, Chris, your point. It feels like
the bacon wave that happened like fifteen years ago, where
everything was.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Bacon and people got bacon stupid. Bacon sucks. But look,
you were like, no, bacon isn't fucking go. You know. Yeah,
it's just I get it. We got annoying with it
for a little bit. It's that people who like a
thing like that too much, are annoying, but the thing
is still good, you know, right, It's kind of like
like that's I'm not even that I was gonna say.
I think it's like a thing that people get politically
(17:28):
too where it's like people who are annoying about like
believing in a good thing too much, then they turn
people off from the good thing sometimes. But it's actually, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Like the whole nineties, like I was brought up to
be like people who care about shit are stupid by
movies like PCU and uh Forrest Gump where he like
goes to Washington, d C. During like you know, some
of like Black Panther movements and stuff like that, and
everybody's just like idiots walking around following lines, and like
(17:58):
I was just like, oh, yeah, man, this fucking that's
for the birds. We've got figured out.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You don't like.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Liberations for the birds, Like liberation is performative. They're just
performatively angry, Right, Robert to mechis, yeah, that's what you
want to play from. These are Jacko Brown quots that
are going straight onto a pillow.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Both quotes right. The black Rightful coffee Black red oul
coffee in My Heart Media Store what's Chris, what's something
you think's overrated? Overrated? You know, let's go seasonal again.
I think horror movies are overrated. I don't like scary things.
The world is full of scary things. Why do we
need more scary things to be made? And also I
think that this should be illegal for you to show.
(18:39):
I think you should not if I go to a
comedy movie, you should not be able to show me
a trailer for a horror movie in the comedy movie. Previde.
I'm not there to get scared, all right. I'm there
to laugh and have a good time. All of a sudden,
now I gotta cover my eyes because someone's face is
getting ripped off and there's like a scary door that
I'm going to think about all night. It's not fair.
I get it. I'm a little scaredy cat chicken boy,
(19:02):
I get it. Scar make me see the door with
the weird noise, and then I hate it. Yeah, they
all have that. They all have to like creaking open,
and then it's like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. For
a while, there was this like ad for the like
streaming horror movie service that was on all the buses
(19:22):
and like subways, in New York City that just had
like a face with like teeth all over the face,
and I thought, like that might that might end my
life just seeing that all the time. Shutter. That's right, exactly, Shutter.
I think Shutter should be you should have to opt
into advertisements for Shutter to have to be exposed to
their marketing exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I have to answer questions about horror movie posters like
the it's an event when a new horror movie poster,
like there's that new monster the ed Geen story that
like is coming out on Netflix, and so a h
there there are billboards around La going up and my
kids are immediately like, okay, tell me about Edgar. Yeah huh, like, oh,
(20:00):
you know, he's like a fictional character.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Maybe who I don't know what to tell you, man,
Yeah I am. I am also aware that my uh
so far, my like get to know you section of
this episode is revealing me to be like a sensitive
fourth grader. I don't like scary movies, but I love
sweet drinks. I like Halloween, but not the scary parts,
just the candy and just the you know, the essence
(20:26):
of a ghost. Me, I like the essence of a
ghost that's why I drink whiskey and black licorice.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Like you are speaking the language of our time, outlawing
media and assassinated people who you disagree with. So I
feel that, Yeah, I am read in that sweet spot.
I think this is actually going to help keep the
Daily Guys on available.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, you're gonna be You're about to
be a late night show on CBS. That's right. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, Barry put us in love you girl.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Put me and coach.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
We're and so elon the cars. They're still selling, but
the sales have slowed down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
He's still spite everyone's best efforts.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm coasting quite a bit off of like EV credits
and you know, tax credits and things like that, which
were the things that made him rich in the first place.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, that last quarter, people were like, whoa, EV sales
actually went up a little bit, and like it's because
the Biden EV credits are about to run down, so people, yeah,
give me the money, give me I'm not gonna leave
money on the table. Otherwise, no real upward movement for
the company since Elon basically just let everyone know he's
a freaky piece of shit.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, you may remember, by the way, the EV credits
being canceled is the reason that he actually turned against Trump.
It wasn't anything to do with Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That was just like his explanation. But yeah, he's like,
this helps create a frictionless transaction. If you're giving people,
just subsidize it a little bit.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
But anyway, the latest grift that he's been pushing is
the humanoid robot slave army Optimists, And he recently said
the robots will he just says, fucking whatever, which is
so funny about this guy. He said that the robots
will most likely represent eighty percent of the company's value,
like long term, and in that period will potentially bring
(22:28):
in ten trillion dollars because everyone is just going to be,
you know, Palin around with their Optimist robot.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Makes sense to me, these guys look cool as hell.
They look like the older brother I never had.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I feel like really, honestly, Trump and Musk both benefit
so much from having their quotes like selected out like that,
because if you actually hear them talk, it's so incoherent.
Like one time I was in a room, not like
a small room, but like in space where Elon Musk
gave a speech and at the end I was like,
I have no idea what you said. That was totally
incoherent rambling. And then you later on see like the
(23:04):
quotes that get pulled like that of like it's going
to be ten trillion in value eighty percent. But in
reality he's just like talking like I love them. They
could do kung fu. Oh my god, like it's you know, yeah,
you should see the future, just like a oh man,
it's so it's he's embarrassing, and this is an embarrassing idea.
It's like there used to be a time where technology
(23:24):
was about creating things that had actual value for actual
people and no inveting things, and this one is just
like I'm a rich guy who literally is coming up
with ideas Wall Academy.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I had to juice the stock price as much as
possible at any given opportunity, so I will make grandiose claims.
He said they're aiming for an annual output of around
one million units by twenty thirty. They think they're gonna
do that right now. This guy can't even shot out
five thousand of these things. But again to help sort
(23:54):
of wet the whistles of investors, Elon posted this fucking
video that just as Tesla optimist learning kung fu and
learning kung fuh. I mean, we can look at this here,
and I'm not a martial arts expert, but I don't
know if this is a kung fu lesson or just
a terribly choreographed back and forth.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But anyway, here is the robot doing kung fu.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So it's a we'll describe it for just the listeners.
Does it does a fun fist pump, some punches, some
like like a learned routine facing each other pretending to scar.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
And this does it's first of all, I do want
to say it's as boring as this sounds, right.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's with a robotic broom.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yes, So it's doing the Have you guys seen the
videos of Steven Segal when he's like doing kata, like
and he's like overweight, and so the people are just
selling everything and they're.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Like left right, okay, now.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah, yeah, and like he's like in a chair but
like just like kind of flipping people from a chair
and they're just like selling his moves. So this, like
martial arts master is Basically it looks like they've memorized
a school yard handshake, you know what I mean, where
they're just like left righthouse, right foot, turn around, high five.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Well, I mean, let's let's really see. I mean, right now,
they're just getting started. They're lightly tapping again, so they're
like sparring. But it looks like everybody has like practiced this,
which is like what you we We've talked before about
Elon Musk when he announced that like he had self
driving cars eight years ago and you know, showed a
(25:41):
video that went viral and then it was later revealed
that they had just like scanned the entire thing and
there was a human driver in the Like it was
an come to find out that's gently inside that robot.
Rights truly going full mcare Turk with it. Okay, go
on with this quote unquote learning kung fu display. Okay,
(26:05):
So they're tapping wrists. He kind of did a kick
that it blocked. He kind of pushed it and it
didn't fall down. Did that thing from Mission Impossible?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah? Were you what's his name Superman from previous Superman? Yeah,
like Cavil like loads his arms. They like taught it
to do like a little like armload thing shoulders loaded
his arms.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Okay, go on Duke's back up. Oh, it does, pretending.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
To kick the slowest kick I've ever seen. And then
and that's that. It's over, I would say.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But it's attached by like a big thick cord to
a track on the on the roof. So he's like,
you want to get away from someone doing kung fu
that's tied to a track, You just step three feet
to the other side of the track.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, you may recognize being tied to something above you
as the same technology they used to make Keanu Reeves
and the cast of Crouching Tiger look like they can
defy the laws of physics. And in this case, it
can't even like it. It just doesn't even look coordinate
enough to be human. It looks like a forty five
year old guy in karate class with children.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, they should make it after that whole display then
put its hands on its on its knees and go.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Oh, oh god, oh, by Jesus Christ, Oh man, you
guys want to watch some anime at my house.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was gonna fucking kill me. He pushed me hard.
That guys got my gun.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, that many people in the field
of robotics are very cautious to big up this Tesla
robot because there are still so many things to figure out.
Like one person's like the biggest thing is replicating human touch.
Like they're like, great, this, they've showed that this has
great limbic dexterity if we're talking about like just brutally
(27:55):
like what this is mechanically doing like it can it
can you know, sort of mimic someone doing a kick or.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
How Travis Kelce has great limb dick depsterity.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
But thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
But like when you think about the human touch thing,
like I feel like we've seen so many videos of
like automated.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Machines that are so rough, like they.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Don't know how to Like have you seen that video
that was like that came out a few years ago
of like the hot dog making machine.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Has not seen it until you should do it?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yeah, this is just so funny because to me, this
is exactly what they're talking about with like robots unable
to replicate like the human touch. It just knows like
movements out of velocity and so this like video is
just so funny.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, come to the future, motherfuck.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Floating a hot dog into like a tube butt and
then once it goes to the side, just no, completely
thrown off now, So yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Just keeps shoving it in then like slowly like just
assumes that it went in the thing, and then like
takes it over and just like hands it to the
person and it's just a mare hot dog. Like enjoy
nothing about this three, I said, enjoy, Yeah, nothing about
(29:12):
this very simple three step process that is literally like
the lowest rung of like what I could do, Like,
it is the lowest rung of job I could do
well high, you know, it's taking hot dog, putting in
a tubular bun, wrapping it in napkin.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Those one three that high could do it way better,
way much better. Because if you're getting high at your
hot dog job, I bet you you don't have to
think too much to put a hot dog together at all, know,
like that you could be so high that you go
to your job like, yeah, watch this fifteen there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Come on. I will bet you that that guy also
does an incredible kung fu routine. There's no doubt in
my mind. He's like, Rick, do you don't have to
wear your karate ghee to work? We do have a uniform,
all right? Can I put a polo on top of
the gi?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Are they gonna know about my limbic dexterity?
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, they've been trying to solve like the I remember
reading an article about berries in the New Yorker. Yeah,
they were talking about how it's like this unsolvable problem
for the world of robotics to have something that has
like a gentle enough touch to pick strawbines, Like they
(30:30):
still need humans to pick strawberries and like blackberries because
the robots just like fucking smash.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It's also like they're like, we still have to keep
paying these workers.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Also, the idea that it has to be like a
humanoid looking robot is so weird to me because like
no one was ever like, wow, but if only the
cotton gin looked like a person when it did it, Yeah, exactly,
like if only my toaster had a face. Like good
machines do a thing and they do well and that
it's these it's all these like tech billionaires like Zuckerberg
(31:05):
and Musk who don't have friends, and so they're like,
what if we solve the problem with the thing I make.
It's a virtual friend he's a robot friend. Three. We
don't need that, like because a lot of these roboticists
are like people, Like people don't realize they're not gonna
have legs. They're probably gonna be on wheels because they
(31:26):
don't need to have legs to function for whatever specific function.
It is, like, it's not like everything needs to be
a thing that looks like a human and therefore it
does all this work like it could be look like
a fucking tripod with wheels in one.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Arm and does a specific task a human would do.
But like the idea that it's like it's we will
be humanoid is just very sci fi.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It will and do kata.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, it will smoke weed with me and laugh. It will.
I mean it's so revealing, right because it's always like
it's a human that obeys my every command. It literally
is like I just want slaves. That is exactly I'm
all boiling down.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Do we recreate that thing they said we can't have anymore?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah? Doesn't. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It has like big that they just want an older
brother energy do kung fu.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
They absolutely they want that robot to be like ten
inches taller than them and to do kung fu and
then go, Wow, you're actually pretty good at kung fu.
I think you're pretty cool for your age. I will
call you sense a Ywan. I'm going to tell all
my friends that you can ride BMX spikes with us
because you are cooler than a regular nine year old. Yeah,
(32:37):
it's a I.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That there was a display before where they had robotic
bartenders at a Tesla event that I was actually pretty
impressed with, and I'm almost positive they were using the
same technology for that that they're using here, which is
that there's somebody somewhere doing the job and it's.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Just mimicking their body.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So it's like the essentially the mechanical turk, but like
you know, no, the robot isn't using it's like AI
mind to like competently do the very double job of
like pourning Champagne.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's like an underemployed an underemployed commercial actor or somewhere
in a room when we're in a full body suit
and he's doing the motions to nothing and the robot
is just doing it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, I think that's what I think. That's what we're
working with here, and this is this is the latest
in that technology, which is like being held up by
a thing that I could look fucking so sick if
they had me hanging from right, you know, from from
a bungee cord, and instead it's just doing very basic.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But I think it just goes to show though too.
Like it's always like this weird shell game with Elon
Musk and Tesla. It's like, are you a car, because like, no,
we're not a car. Come, we're fucking AI robot shit.
And now he's like, we're making robot slaves. Dude, that
dou kung fu, Like that's that's the fucking big picture. Man.
You gotta fucking zoom out, dude, It's not a car,
it's this ship ten trillion dollars. Man. It's funny because
(34:01):
like he is literally the richest person in the world,
or if not the richest, the second richest person in
the world. But he operates his businesses the same way
that I have done every interview whenever I'm desperate for work,
where they're like and can you do this, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, definitely.
I'm like sometimes I'm a comedian, but I'm a writer.
But I also I am very good at at a
customer service, and I could I could as well? Yeah,
(34:22):
child development, Yeah yeah, I mean I guess the question
is like, what do you want because that's what I
could do. Oh yeah, just looking for someone to sort
of clean up the bar at night. My passion in
life is actually cleaning. I'm like, that's what I'm always
telling people. I love to clean.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
People ask me regularly if I'm on meth. There's like,
that's how much I love cleaning.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I'm so dude, And no I'm not. I'm just enthusiastic,
you know what I mean. He has that same rapid
fire meth pivots. Yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Back to the world of politics and failing to sell something.
It seems like the Democrat shut down is not being
sold as such. People are not don't seem to be
buying it.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
No, No, I mean, look, they're they're really trying to
sell this thing, as you know. The main framing from
the Republicans is this.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Is a Schumer shut down because Democrats want to give
healthcare all the illegals and that's why we're not gonna
play ball.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
And again, this is not the fucking case. In fact,
I think for starters, the messaging is not working because
more people believe that the GOP is responsible for this
than the Democrats, despite them pointing the finger constantly Democrats.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Because all three branches of government is that yeah, yeah, yeah,
wholely yeah, And they could also are weird sometimes.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I mean they could also they could also just unilaterally
do it themselves in the Senate if they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Sure, but they're not, so what gives there?
Speaker 4 (35:47):
But again, uh, they're they're going to continue this thing
about it's it's it's all because they want to help illegals.
But I think for starters, just again to be clear
on why they're not negotiating with the Republicans, it's because
they want to extend the ACE Affordable Care Act subsidies
to keep people's insurance affordable, and if it gets vaporized
like in the big beautiful build nonsense, then millions of
(36:10):
people are going to be facing just like skyrocketing costs
like doubling of their premiums, and some people who just
want to be able to afford it at all, no
matter what. And they also want to reverse like the
insane cuts to Medicaid because like people shouldn't suffer.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
More than they already do in this country. Is kind
of I guess where they're coming from. But the reason
they latch onto this specific thing of like, well they
want to give illgals.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Medical care is because they're talking about this very technical
part of Medicaid called emergency Medicaid that allows hospitals to
be reimbursed for care they would give to someone who
wouldn't be able to qualify for Medicaid or Medicare. So
that'd be like undocumented people or if you're awaiting a
change in your immigration status. So any hospital that receives
(36:57):
Medicare funding is obligated to provide that care as a condition, because,
like you know, we have laws that are like do
you know, I mean, despite what you may read.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
You can't let people just die in the street, right,
you know, you usually got to do something about it, so,
you know, So when Vice President Couch Copulator says things like,
quote a lot of emergency healthcare at hospitals that are
provided to illegal aliens that was funded by the federal government,
we turned off that funding because of course, we want
American citizens to benefit from those hospital services, not to
(37:28):
be taxed, and then to have these hospital services go
to illegal aliens.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Again, first of all, when he says we turned off
that funding. That doesn't mean they're just kicking people out
of the hospital, like they just take What they're doing
is they're taking away funding from hospitals.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
So need then have to Yeah, you're not allowed to
just let people die because fucking woke, So they have
to then just spend money on that, and therefore healthcare
for everybody gets way worse. Yeah, because you're not properly
funding the hospital. So it's when you go to like,
you know, rural hospitals are already suffering the most from
(38:06):
this kind of shit. But again, they want to give
this impression like it's some like white nationalist wet dream
of human suffering.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
He's like, that's actually what we're doing. It's like, no,
you're not. Actually you're you're degrading the entire healthcare system
by taking away the funding. That's that's what's actually happening.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
And Mike Johnson went into like a full spin zone
on Sunday, telling any news show that would have him that.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Again, they just want to give it to a legal
cartoon narco gangbanger spentanel and that's that's what they're that's
who they're fighting for.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Fortunately, a few anchors pushed back and kept it moving,
like that's not true at all Anyway's speaker Johnson, what
about this? Also as an aside fun news story. Remember
Covenant Eyes we talk about all the time, the porn.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
So this is one of the first things we learned
about Mike Johnson was that he uses an app with
his son that is like sort of a dead hand
switch type situation where if you jack off, your son
gets it. If you jack off to porn on the internet,
your son gets a report about it, and vice versa.
If your son jack's off to porn on the internet,
(39:06):
it's you get a.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Report on it. It's an anti porn Internet accountability software program.
You know, that's a one way street. Assuming his child
like knows how to operate the Internet, and this dipshit
like has no idea, you know, every like I just
want jerk off using a mobile phone, right exactly. It
will log into the app before I off.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Besides step it. Yeah dad, I'm doing great, you two.
I won't even act like I heard what was coming
out of your laptop last night.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
But again, so this whole thing was like he's like,
we're very chased and we're very about like you know,
or purity because of porn is such a terrible thing.
So one of the like the co founder, this one guy,
you know, he sort of had this whole anecdote about
how he's like, you know, it's for my step sons
to really like, you know, we wanted a way to
be accountable to each other.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Well, one of his step sons, last Blare in August,
was arrested in like a to catch a predator style
sting where he thought he was going to meet a
minor and they pulled up his phone and he had
like child sexual abuse in like material on his phone.
So we're like one of the ares of the app.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Yeah, his step son, who like his whole story, his
anecdote was like this, this is sort of the impetus
for even creating this thing, so we have accountability between
my step son tonight.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well tell you what, if there's one person who should
not be looking at porn, it is that step son.
So yeah, yeah, which you're like, what's the like, well,
how dark is this tale before? But anyway, that's what
Mike Johnson, who's you know, loves talking about the efficacy
of this app. Just a quick just to check in
with the people who are running that. No, nothing weird
happening over there or at all. Just that's the kind
(40:43):
of healthcare that we support, is uh yeah, the Covenant
Eye style health Covenant Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Yeah, it's just like porn spy. But they gave it
like the creepiest fucking name. Like it's just like you
picture a like the guy from the Da Vinci Code,
like the Monks of like whipping himself by the back.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Jack Yeah yeah, played by Paul Betony.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, Covenant Eyes a blood Covenant Jesus between me hitting
yourself with the cat with nine tails Jesus. I mean.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
The other thing about the healthcare is like I just
I can't. I understand that they're desperately trying to push
this narrative, but it's like, I don't think there's anyone
even if you're even if you are really far right,
who is Like the thing that we need to do
to fix healthcare in this country is have like more
questions when you walk into the emergency room to sort people, right, Like, yeah,
(41:35):
it's so no one wants.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
This right in our emergency room exactly Americans are asking for.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I want more people to be turned away in pain
and suffering, right, like it's fix the problem, which is
that healthcare is expensive, it doesn't work. That's not how
you fix it. Every if you believe that you're wildly
being misled.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Yeah, they, I mean Mike Johnson went up on Monday
morning was being like, guys, the thing you don't understand
is we're the Republicans.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
We're the ones protecting the healthcare. Okay, that's where we're
coming from. That's why we're standing firm on this. And
it's like said, the party who's done fuck all with
healthcare for as long as I can remember. It's like,
you know, they've always just been the one opposing things
that we're expanding healthcare benefits to people. But yeah, go on,
tell us, tell us more about that, Mike john It
(42:23):
is also the thing where, you know, the people who
are going to be most hurt by this tend to
be in Republican states, right, Like this disproportionately benefits Republican
districts and Republican states. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
It's it's like funny too because there are other people,
like Republicans are getting confronted with like the polls and
they're like, oh, those those that's a I've seen. Actually
the opposite and polling, and they've been asked, oh yeah, okay,
which one, and they're like, and the one I.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Made up to rhetorically be able to not be owned
by you right now the poll that my girlfriend in
Canada just did, Okay, who's a different school. The poll
goes to a different school, guys. I just think about
the fact that every government website has the like little
banner that says, like the radical left shut down the government.
Is a really desperate attempt here to make it so
that people will believe that it's not the people in
(43:12):
control of government who are shutting government.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
I mean, the amount of traffic flooding to those websites
at all times, I'm sure, I'm sure it's really hitting
people hard. All right, let's take it. Let's take a
quick break, we'll come back, we'll talk about the super Bowl,
(43:35):
and we're back. And continues to be largely l city
for the right when it comes to cultural wins. It
feels like I heard somebody say recently that like the
left tried to use their cultural power to gain political win.
(43:56):
Not the left, sorry, the Democratic Party tried to use
their like cultural acumen and like, you know, influence to
try to win political power and that always fails, and
the right is using their political power to try to
gain cultural power, and I feel like it's equally in
advisory that way. They're just like, we're gonna fucking arrest
(44:18):
you forget for doing a halftime show that we don't like.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Oh, that's so cool, that's so cool. They said that.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Oh man, I love that exactly. That's cool, but bad
these people are kind of neat. Yeah, So Christy Nome
just confirmed that the super Bowl will suck thanks to
Ice because the halftime show will feature bad Bunny. Ice
is going to be all over the event, according to her,
in order to make sure that attendees are quote law
(44:43):
abiding Americans who love this country.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
According to Nome, so fucking vague. What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Like they're they're they're checking citizenship at the fucking ticket gate.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Yeah, Like this is.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Going to be a real problem for the people who
paid thirty thousand dollars for a seat at the super
Bowl or like, you know, are part of the Ford marketing.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
Team like that.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
The people who go to the super Bowl are celebrities,
people who are on like a brand team. And then
just like extremely wealthy people who are fans of one
of the two teams, Like that's.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
What and there are I mean, I know people who
are unwell who will like spend all of their money,
Like I have friends who did that with the Dodgers
World Series last I'm like, bro, you cannot.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Afford to go to the World Series, Like I'm going.
I'm going, dude, I'm going. That's all there is.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
And I'm like you, oh, okay, whatever, Like nobody knows
anything anymore.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Sure they're gonna be like in that pit of like
you know how they always have like a big group
of like dancing children, just like just like knocking children
over trying to.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Try to let me see your let me see your ID.
Speaker 7 (45:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
She said people should not attend the event she unless
they are quote law abiding Americans who love this country.
Said that NFL officials won't be able to sleep at
night for picking bad bunny, adding that.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
They're so weak.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
We'll fix it and then they suck and we'll win
and God will bless us and we'll stand and be
proud of ourselves at the end of the day. It
sounds like she's about to go to war, just wage
a religious war between this and though.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
You think your hardcore. We're so much more hardcore than you.
From Steven Breler. This is just peak loser talk again.
They suck and will win. They suck and we'll win, right,
are you for real? It's incredible because it's the kind
of ship talking that normally one team does against the
other team, and instead she's doing it against the concept
(46:39):
of the Super Bowl. Right, Yeah, they suck and will
win super Bowl, will lose. And it's like, do you
actually even know what you're talking about? Oh? Yeah, they suck,
never win. They is the super Bowl? Yeah, you're right,
and all the NFL fans they suck too. Whoa, they
(46:59):
won't a leap at night having picked bad Bunny. It's like,
I'm guarantee you those guys they're real well and.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
I think they're fucking thrilled that you're saying what you're
saying right now?
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Are going to tune in? Yeah? You know how much
they're gonna charge for fucking advertising? That's the whole point,
you know what I mean? Like, you put a fucking
person in the halftime show because you want more eyeballs
on it, and they go, what about this internationally renowned
artist that might help might might help get some eyeballs
on it. Also, every like roided up racist who a
(47:31):
joined ice is thrilled that this is the next assignment.
They're like, yes, I can, I can resell the tickets
that I mortgaged my house for.
Speaker 4 (47:41):
Yeah, yeah, I have to get rid of some super
Bowl tickets.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Turns out I'm gonna be there for work. Unrelated note,
but yeah, incredible that now the work, the work trips
to the super Bowl are going to be like uh,
white supremacist police force and the rams marketings deeper Nike,
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (47:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's like, what do you do, oh, our client,
we spent a lot of money with this one brand.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
They just they gave us like a few tickets and
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
I do think, like, I don't know, I think we're
seeing this taken like this idea of them trying to
use political power to get cultural cache. I do think
we're seeing this taken to a higher level than we've
ever seen, like the Barry Weiss like taking over CBS
News and then paying one hundred and fifty million dollars
for a blog that like I don't know, not that
(48:27):
many people went.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
To Whoa, Whoa Whoa. The people who were fighting woke.
We knew, we knew, right, we are on that shit
from day one. Yeah, yeah, I don't think it's gonna work.
Like I still think people will reject this shit, like yeah,
I think I think CBS News will suck under Bari wise.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
It's that's the thing. It's it.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
I think it's mostly just effective because it's completely dulling.
The not dulling, but it's diminishing the journal like the
industry of journal the professional the profession of journalism to
have like these outlets that used to be seen as like,
oh yeah, that's probably a good journalistic outlet, now just
be completely owned that they're like, oh now, yeah, you
(49:09):
can't trust anything CBS says, you can't trust anything this
news thing says because they all have some kind of maga,
you know, content chief like you know, combing through the
stories to tell you what's what that eventually like it's
just I think that's the whole thing is probably just
to try to injure journalism as much as possible, because
it's like those are that's where people end up calling
the fucking politicians that are used to but now they
(49:30):
have to do it from substak you know.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
It's like it's also because it's across the board, right,
these are the people who like are the the biggest
opponents of DEI and of people who are unqualified for
their jobs getting hired for their jobs. And yet like
their entire project right now is getting people who are
totally unqualified put into.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
Jobs, so including themselves, including.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
Themselves, oh, every single one of them. It's just like,
you don't have any relevant experience for this job. Oh.
Speaker 4 (49:58):
Then I've never ever done any actual factual reporting on something.
Just because I'm a pundit named Barrie Weiss, I think
I know something about real journalism even though I've never
actually engaged it in my life exactly.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
I mean, this is it's it's just one of these
things where it's like that anytime they attack something, you
know that it's the thing that they're trying to do, right, Like,
whatever it is that they say they're against is the
thing that they're actually trying to do, just in their
own form. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
The the wild thing was that I think that quote
from Christina Home about the they sulk and wheel win
was when she was hanging out with fucking Benny Johnson
during like their Chicago ice raids or something, and then today, right, yeah,
and then he posted this video where he's like I
actually got her. Like we were thinking about they've got
a new ice processing facility that they want to you know,
(50:46):
brutalize human beings inside of or we call it processing illegals.
And there he said, we we came up with a name.
We workshopped it, and it's going to be called Deep
Dish Deportation Depot.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
That's so funny. It's so see they are.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
They are funny because because Chicago has Deep Dish pizza
and it's alliterative and that is the highest form of poetry.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
My god, they all have they all start with D.
Dang dude. Also, you know the fact that Bennie Johnson
is the like America first guy while also being funded
by Russian propaganda. Yeah right, yeah, It's just.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
Why don't they let Bennie Johnson do the halftime show,
you know, instead of Bad Bunny. Yeah, good Benny.
Speaker 1 (51:30):
Oh they did. That's it. That's it right there. But
they had Benny, they had a good Bennie.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
We saw the effect though, because that interview happened on
Friday and Bad Bunny was supposed to do. Uh, I
guess Saturday night Live the season premiere on Saturday, and
they had him running for the hill. Oh wait no,
actually he's still just hosted US as effected.
Speaker 1 (51:58):
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (51:59):
He did troll him in his opening monologue though, because
he's like, yeah, man, He's like, obviously I was announced
as as the super Bowl halftime performer, and everyone fucking
lovely god guys, even.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Even Fox News, bad Bunnet. This is my favorite musician
and he should be the next president.
Speaker 4 (52:24):
Perfect is my favorite music entry would be the next president.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
That was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Did you guys watch any did you watch the Cold Open?
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I got to. I got a few minutes into the
Cold Open and it was too real.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Yeah for me, Colin jo just as Pete haig Seth
doing his I thought they you know, they made some
points about how he's like everything needs to be de
woke and masculine. You need to be hairless and hot
and shredded, and we need hot, shredded men. But then
like Trump, So James Austin Johnson's Trump then comes out
(53:00):
and addresses the camera directly and it is like I'm
gonna take SNL off the air, And it's like, when
you compare it to who Trump is now it's like
the sharpest and most like likable and coherent Trump that
exists currently right, Like and like, I don't know, in
(53:21):
recent weeks, he's been like obviously attacking and harming American
citizens and fucking Chicago. The footage coming out of Chicago
is fucking terrifying. But like, he also sounds completely incoherent
all the time. Like he that we talked about him
retweeting that AI video where it was like a video
(53:43):
of him that was generated by AI, where he was like, there,
we're going to have like put together in the same
manner as that bad Bunny clip. We are going to
have med beds and yeah, like just everybody conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
That he then took down. And when people were like
what the fuck was that, Caroline Levitt was like, I
think the president saw the video and posted it and
then took it down. It's like, yeah, no, that that
was what we were asking, That's exactly what happened. Why
did he post a video that was an AI created
clip of him making an announcement? Doesn't that suggest that
(54:20):
he's confused about reality?
Speaker 1 (54:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (54:23):
She was like, he has the right to do that,
it's his social media. He's incredibly transparent as you all know,
Like it just sounds like they're and we heard the
behind the scenes conversation of fucking Covenant Eyes being like
you know when she was like the president is unwell
and unhinged, and he was.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
Like you you are. You have people too, Yeah, yeah,
he said, all like basically you also have people like that.
It just feels I.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
Don't know, like we're we're reaching a point where maybe
like Trump as fun loving and coherent person and doesn't
totally make sense.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
I don't know, I like his oppression great in years
of constant exposure, right suddenly.
Speaker 2 (55:08):
Yeah, I don't know, just just the like the gut
feeling of after having seen like where he's fallen to
and then having the same James Austin Johnson come out
with essentially the same Trump impression. It's it does feel
like a little bit uncanny for him for that impression
(55:29):
to still be as coherent as it always was, and
Trump to be as incoherent. And you know, it's also
like you can't necessarily like make it a fun show
if Trump is incoherent and like clearly dying on stage.
But it does seem to I don't know, maybe it's
just worth noting that, like, like that's how much the
(55:54):
drop off in his cognitive ability has been. Is that
it just feels different now. It's like that's not quite
right anymore, feels like different.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
Man. Yeah, I do think that sometimes political figures you
get this like huge benefit from the pop culture understanding
of them being better than their actual self, right, Like
like Biden I think really benefited from the Onion's version
of Biden being like I'm suretless washing my trans am
on the White House lawn, like people that image. Even
long past when they were putting those articles out, people
(56:26):
are kind of like, yeah, he's like the fun crazy uncle.
And like with Trump, it's like he is truly like
very difficult to follow, making wild, extremely dangerous decisions. But
then like when you see the impressions of him, it's like, yeah,
but he's kind of like a funny business man, right, ye, right, yeah, Yeah,
it's hard to square that with the reality, and a
lot of people don't square with the reality. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (56:49):
I think that's where it's kind of happening now, because
it's just becoming like to your point of the Caroline
Levitt thing, she had to be like, I think it's
great that he likes memes and it's like, mmm, okay,
Like the question was what's he getting at with this
weird shit?
Speaker 1 (57:03):
And you didn't have an answer for that.
Speaker 4 (57:04):
You had to spin because that's an uncomfortable answer to
have to actually give, like something sincere about. And yeah,
even with Johnson when he was confronted by Madeline Dean
of just being like his essentially, she was like you
with all this shit, and he's like, oh, I mean y'all,
y'all got some weirdos too, And you're like, Okay, some
weirdos too too, so we know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
Okay, are you sure about that? You sure about that?
But you know, as SICA fans continue to do their
sick a dance, That's right, sick a dance, all right.
Speaker 2 (57:35):
Chris Duffy, Such a pleasure having you as always on
the daily zite Geist. Where can people find you? Follow
you all that good stuff.
Speaker 1 (57:43):
You can find me at Chris Duffiecomedy dot com and
you can follow me at at Chris the letter I Duffy.
Speaker 2 (57:50):
There it is, And is there a work of media
that you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1 (57:54):
You know, we were just talking about the Onion and
I feel like the Onion every once in a while,
I mean actually very frequently. Right now, they are just
nailing how to do satire that actually doesn't empower the
people in power and is really funny. Uh So, I've
been really enjoying all the Onion coverage, but specifically they're
uh talk of fascism, dangerous Warren's Ministry of Compliance. That
(58:15):
was one of my favorite headlines. Right yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (58:18):
Uh, Miles, where can people find you? Is there work
Amedia you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1 (58:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you find me everywhere at Miles Gray.
You find me talking about ninety day on four to
twenty day fiance. Let's see a work Amedia. There's just
a lot.
Speaker 4 (58:33):
I mean, just Barrie Weiss becoming the head of the
editor of editor in chief or whatever her head freaking
charge at CBS News is terrifying. A lot of posts
on Blue Sky about it. First one is from Anna
Marlandavi's got a Social post it let it never again
be said that a woman with no real reporting experience
(58:55):
who fell for a Twitter account called official Antifa cannot
be the head of a huge news organization. Jared Yates
Sexton on Blue Scott at Social Post and Hopefully the
whole Barri Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking
people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly
populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained
unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tellwealthy people exactly
(59:19):
what they want to hear.
Speaker 1 (59:21):
Hmmm interesting.
Speaker 2 (59:23):
You can find me on Twitter at jack Underscore, Brian
on Blue Sky at jack Obe the number one.
Speaker 1 (59:28):
I liked Pooky on.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
Twitter at Poogy's Paradise tweet. Is there specific posts that
you still think about? And Brandon Snoosning retweeted just a
picture of the post from Hereditary on the side of
the roadside. I liked that, and then I also liked
a thing that was being screen captain sent around was
Patrick Cosmos at Very Important Lawyers post working on a
(59:54):
new unified theory of American reality. I'm calling everyone is
twelve now strong and I want to have like fifty
kids in a farm. Of course you do, you're twelve.
I don't want to eat vegetables. I think steak in
French fries is the only meal. Hell yeah, homie, year twelve.
Maybe if there's crime we should send the Army, Bless
your Heart, my twelve.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):

think that people might enjoy?
Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I do from
a track called or a band called Rebounder, and I
think it's like a producer out of New York And
the track is called Tennis Bracelet and it's just like
just the name. I was like, what the fuck is
this track about? Why would you call me?
Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Like it feels like so like eighties like wasp like
yuppy coded like the Tennis Bracelet, and the song sounds
like that, like it has like this sort of like
you know, nostalgic, kind of yacht rocky, kind of like
everything's great, and I just got my lady a tennis
bracelet kind of vibe, but it's got a good it's
just a really I like the track.
Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
I love that sort of that's the nostalgic texture. So
this is Rebounder with tennis bracelet.
Speaker 2 (01:01:27):

Probably gonna wish a happy Chusso to Koreans out there,
because this is their Thanksgiving is how my in law's
put it. But it's basically I don't think it comes
with all the colonial baggage of our Thanksgiving. Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, yeah, when Koreans landed at Plymouth Rock, they're celebrating
the first meal with the Pilgrims.
Speaker 2 (02:49):

Sex that was released in Australia.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That's the usion they got.
Speaker 2 (03:29):

those shit.

Yeah, oh yeah, all the whole room of planes hanging
from the ceiling. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And I always take a picture of the poop bag
that they had for the astronauts, and it always annoys
my partner, her Majesty.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Because I go up and go this beekle bag, and
she's like, why do you always do this? Because you
always react to it. Apollo thirteen. One of my favorite
details in Apollo thirteen is when they take twenty seconds
out of the film to just be like, I bet
they want to see Tom Hanks piss into space. Oh
right too, and yeah, you just get to see Pe
(05:01):
on God's universe.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
How much did that cost? Because isn't like a zero
Is there any zero g happening in that scene or no?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I think that's mostly computer graphics. What would be my guess?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It wasn't his actual zero gravity.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Pe because you're like kind of tight on his face.
I think as he's.
Speaker 4 (05:18):

always talk about Tom Hanks's obsession with pissing on camera
being like just a thing that he fits into every movie.
And you always fit into every romantic exchange with a
romantic partner, some manner of shitting into a bag that's
always been your thing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, what can I sell that? What can I say?
You want to watch Billy Madison? She's like, are you
just gonna go to that scene again? You know it?

that's right. Yeah, we're trying to brand ourselves just as
a centrist podcast in case they deem this show like
some kind of anti American propaganda out let's oh, we're
calling ourselves Republicans.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Now, yeah, we've we've actually changed our angle. Arry Wis
is our new editor in chief.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And long may she rain wen't wait to have it's
going to be you know, let me yeah, let me
also just say I I did think before I came
on this there's no doubt in my mind that when
I get thrown into goolog these episodes will be a
huge piece of the trial. And I'm thrilled for that. Chris.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We released so many of them even yeah, you know,
nobody's gonna know, nobody's gonna be able to find these things.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Oh to me, that's a positive. Big enough, We're not
big enough. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's the other that we figured out is that nobody
nobody thinks, you know, Trump's not listening.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
As I love that being your your excuse in front
of the military tribunal, You're like, it really is not
as popular as you're making it sound. I mean, look
at these download numbers, my honor. It was just like,
you're basically about to shoot us for like a meeting
with a few friends that we had quietly. This is
so unfair. It was like an effective ad sales machine
only for like certain grands and companies. Okay please, oh no, dude,
(09:50):
there were there were black rifle coffee ads aarrently running
on this show.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
That's got to count for something that actually does that
absolutely does count. They're like, oh, actually, oh wait a set,
maybe that's the filter they use any show that had
black rifle coffee. As he's gonna say safe and through
that error, they're like and this is Yeah, it is
an incredibly you know, incredibly damning indetment of the economy
when you see like what the podcast adds are at
(10:14):
that particular moment, Like a couple of years ago, was
like we're sending people mattresses and physical products, and then
recently it's been like, would you be willing to advertise
like an injectible brain serum that you stick straight into
your skull And I'm like, probably not finish.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's powered by AI. AI powered injectable brain serum. Go on, Chris,
We're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get
to know you a little bit better in a moment.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
First, we got to talk about these new AI products
that are being sold. Now, actually we are going to
talk about I guess a form of AI Elon's newest invention.
We're talking at least ten trill on These bad boys,
Hell are robot bin trill ten T We're going to
tend t that shit it. Yeah, there's a rope, but
(11:01):
there's a video that he posted of a robot learning
kung fu that he's like enough said, So we'll talk
about that. We'll talk about the popularity of the shutdown,
we'll talk about ICE's plans for the super Bowl. Christy
nome Is is pissed talking about talking like she's about
to go to war with the super Bowl, I guess.
(11:25):
And we might even talk about SNL and the version
of Trump on SNL versus version of Trump in reality,
all of that plenty more. But first, Chris, we do
like to ask our guest, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
You know? I recently went to a coffee shop in Burbank,
and afterwards I googled their name and said, is Romancing
the being a reference to a movie or something? Because
it just seemed like that had to be too sexual
of a name for a coffee shop to not be
a reference for something. Yeah, Romance in the Stone. Yeah,
because at first I was like, that is a that
(12:00):
is a sweaty coffee shop bean. Come up from Yeah,
Romancing the Bean. Oh a big Kathleen Turner fans. What
that's right? There's how they were. What are you talking about?
Yeah they were, We're talking about the downstairs. It was
great great coffee though, great coffee and great movie, both
both things that I learned about. What are you doing?
That's just because you're not You're not La based, are you? Yeah?
(12:23):
Yeah I am, Oh you are.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Okay, I thought, oh, you're just from You're from New York, right,
from New York. Yeah, that's what That's what I was
getting mixed up. I'm like, because like, you're you're a
magnolia like that.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That romancing to be just some deep polls, you know,
the street and you know, I grew.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
After I know that's this is my my this is
where I was running around on a bicycle all day.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah. Oh incredible. Yeah, that's that's my most recent one.
And then you know, a deeper one is I have
a newborn baby at home. So I was go going
how to make a baby smile at you? Because listen,
I'm desperate for approval, even from an infant that can't
probably language.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Or yeah, who doesn't have many neurological capabilities to smile.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Trying to find hacks to be like is this good?
Is this it work for you? Okay, all right, we'll
try something else. Hey, Hey baby, wait, how's your baby? Chris?
Seven weeks? Oh? Oh very new you wow?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, I mean I usually cantill I was killing with
my kids when they were seven weeks old is a kidnapping.
Bring the kid over here right now. Let's see Jack,
we'll get a smile. We're gonna get taken down. You
just said kidnapping.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Hold on, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Black rifle coffee, Black rifle coffee, Black rifle coffee should
get it out.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
One of my deepest fears is that I'm like, I
can't make my baby smile, and then I bring it
over to the zoom thing and Jack just like makes
one expression of the baby smiles and laughs, and I'm like,
it is Jackson's doesn't It just goes.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Jack?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Now that's my ship right there. What how'd you get
him to say that? I don't know, man, what is
the What do you thinks underrated? You know, we're in
the fall season here, and I gotta say, I think
pumpkin spice is underrated. I think it had a loop
where it got so popular with basic, annoying white people
that people then started thinking that pumpkin spice itself wasn't good,
(14:14):
and now I think it's great. I think it's underrated
because people think it is annoying like the people who
like it, And it's quite possible that I'm one of
those annoying people who like it, but it's also love
a spice that's named after a thing that's not in it.
Heero pumpkin and pumpkin spice.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You gotta love that, evolks say time of year that
is associated with pumpkin, and that's basically how it came together.
And I think it like also probably evokes a little
bit of pumpkin pie.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Also doesn't really taste.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Like well, that's like the flavoring, like the nutmeg aspect
of it, right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It's like how they have Yankee candles that, like, some
Yankee candles smell like what they're like vanilla, and then
they'll have Yankee candles that will be like a winter's memory,
your grandmother's face.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, it smells like lotion. The ice cream store, the
fancy ice cream store, Salt and Straw has a Halloween
season flavor that is essence of ghost and the fuck
out here, which is because it is the most kid
unfriendly flavor profile. It's black licorice and whiskey. Oh no,
(15:20):
are you for real?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, And my seven year old was like, give me
a taste of that, and I'm like, first of all,
like obviously he's gonna like essence of ghost is like, yeah,
that sounds fucking. It's like you're gonna hand me a
ghost and then to make it it's kind of like
a fucked up prank that I kind of appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, so did he eat it? And his like face
turned inside out just like he I tasted it. I
was like, let me just because I could tell from
the look that they were the ice cream barista was
giving me, so this was not gonna go well. And
so I gave it a little taste and I was like,
I don't think you're gonna like it, and he, you know,
soldiered On touched his tongue to it and was like, fuck,
that smiled at me. Since the Fancy ice Cream story
(16:03):
in San Francisco, Humphrey Slocum, they had a flavor maybe
they still have a flavor called a Secret Breakfast that
was bourbon and cornflakes, and that was great. That makes sense. Yeah,
we all we've all had those two been there, but
absolutely we saw ghosts of ghost. Nah.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, what what is your pumpkin spice delivery system? Is
it a latte or are you one of those? And
I don't want to reveal where I stand on this,
But are you one of those sick freaks who likes
like pumpkin spice cheerios and shit.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Oh no, no, I think that's a that's a bridge
too far. No, No, that's disgusting. That's disgusting. And the
people who like the executed all right, Yeah, speaking the
language of our time, I'll put it in a pie,
or I'll put it on a in a hot drink.
That's where. That's where I want my spice.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah, that had a cookie recently that was like but
they called it fall spice. I think they were trying
to do a thing where like they didn't want to
trigger people with the word pumpkin spice, but they said
falls by them like, look, this shit is orange as hell.
We know what we're doing here, and it was delicious,
And I think, yeah, Chris, your point. It feels like
the bacon wave that happened like fifteen years ago, where
everything was.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Bacon and people got bacon stupid. Bacon sucks. But look,
you were like, no, bacon isn't fucking go. You know. Yeah,
it's just I get it. We got annoying with it
for a little bit. It's that people who like a
thing like that too much, are annoying, but the thing
is still good, you know, right, It's kind of like
like that's I'm not even that I was gonna say.
I think it's like a thing that people get politically
(17:28):
too where it's like people who are annoying about like
believing in a good thing too much, then they turn
people off from the good thing sometimes. But it's actually, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Like the whole nineties, like I was brought up to
be like people who care about shit are stupid by
movies like PCU and uh Forrest Gump where he like
goes to Washington, d C. During like you know, some
of like Black Panther movements and stuff like that, and
everybody's just like idiots walking around following lines, and like
(17:58):
I was just like, oh, yeah, man, this fucking that's
for the birds. We've got figured out.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You don't like.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Liberations for the birds, Like liberation is performative. They're just
performatively angry, Right, Robert to mechis, yeah, that's what you
want to play from. These are Jacko Brown quots that
are going straight onto a pillow.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Both quotes right. The black Rightful coffee Black red oul
coffee in My Heart Media Store what's Chris, what's something
you think's overrated? Overrated? You know, let's go seasonal again.
I think horror movies are overrated. I don't like scary things.
The world is full of scary things. Why do we
need more scary things to be made? And also I
think that this should be illegal for you to show.
(18:39):
I think you should not if I go to a
comedy movie, you should not be able to show me
a trailer for a horror movie in the comedy movie. Previde.
I'm not there to get scared, all right. I'm there
to laugh and have a good time. All of a sudden,
now I gotta cover my eyes because someone's face is
getting ripped off and there's like a scary door that
I'm going to think about all night. It's not fair.
I get it. I'm a little scaredy cat chicken boy,
(19:02):
I get it. Scar make me see the door with
the weird noise, and then I hate it. Yeah, they
all have that. They all have to like creaking open,
and then it's like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. For
a while, there was this like ad for the like
streaming horror movie service that was on all the buses
(19:22):
and like subways, in New York City that just had
like a face with like teeth all over the face,
and I thought, like that might that might end my
life just seeing that all the time. Shutter. That's right, exactly, Shutter.
I think Shutter should be you should have to opt
into advertisements for Shutter to have to be exposed to
their marketing exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I have to answer questions about horror movie posters like
the it's an event when a new horror movie poster,
like there's that new monster the ed Geen story that
like is coming out on Netflix, and so a h
there there are billboards around La going up and my
kids are immediately like, okay, tell me about Edgar. Yeah huh, like, oh,
(20:00):
you know, he's like a fictional character.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Maybe who I don't know what to tell you, man,
Yeah I am. I am also aware that my uh
so far, my like get to know you section of
this episode is revealing me to be like a sensitive
fourth grader. I don't like scary movies, but I love
sweet drinks. I like Halloween, but not the scary parts,
just the candy and just the you know, the essence
(20:26):
of a ghost. Me, I like the essence of a
ghost that's why I drink whiskey and black licorice.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Like you are speaking the language of our time, outlawing
media and assassinated people who you disagree with. So I
feel that, Yeah, I am read in that sweet spot.
I think this is actually going to help keep the
Daily Guys on available.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely, you're gonna be You're about to
be a late night show on CBS. That's right. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, Barry put us in love you girl.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Put me and coach.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
We're and so elon the cars. They're still selling, but
the sales have slowed down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
He's still spite everyone's best efforts.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm coasting quite a bit off of like EV credits
and you know, tax credits and things like that, which
were the things that made him rich in the first place.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, that last quarter, people were like, whoa, EV sales
actually went up a little bit, and like it's because
the Biden EV credits are about to run down, so people, yeah,
give me the money, give me I'm not gonna leave
money on the table. Otherwise, no real upward movement for
the company since Elon basically just let everyone know he's
a freaky piece of shit.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, you may remember, by the way, the EV credits
being canceled is the reason that he actually turned against Trump.
It wasn't anything to do with Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
That was just like his explanation. But yeah, he's like,
this helps create a frictionless transaction. If you're giving people,
just subsidize it a little bit.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
But anyway, the latest grift that he's been pushing is
the humanoid robot slave army Optimists, And he recently said
the robots will he just says, fucking whatever, which is
so funny about this guy. He said that the robots
will most likely represent eighty percent of the company's value,
like long term, and in that period will potentially bring
(22:28):
in ten trillion dollars because everyone is just going to be,
you know, Palin around with their Optimist robot.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Makes sense to me, these guys look cool as hell.
They look like the older brother I never had.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I feel like really, honestly, Trump and Musk both benefit
so much from having their quotes like selected out like that,
because if you actually hear them talk, it's so incoherent.
Like one time I was in a room, not like
a small room, but like in space where Elon Musk
gave a speech and at the end I was like,
I have no idea what you said. That was totally
incoherent rambling. And then you later on see like the
(23:04):
quotes that get pulled like that of like it's going
to be ten trillion in value eighty percent. But in
reality he's just like talking like I love them. They
could do kung fu. Oh my god, like it's you know, yeah,
you should see the future, just like a oh man,
it's so it's he's embarrassing, and this is an embarrassing idea.
It's like there used to be a time where technology
(23:24):
was about creating things that had actual value for actual
people and no inveting things, and this one is just
like I'm a rich guy who literally is coming up
with ideas Wall Academy.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
I had to juice the stock price as much as
possible at any given opportunity, so I will make grandiose claims.
He said they're aiming for an annual output of around
one million units by twenty thirty. They think they're gonna
do that right now. This guy can't even shot out
five thousand of these things. But again to help sort
(23:54):
of wet the whistles of investors, Elon posted this fucking
video that just as Tesla optimist learning kung fu and
learning kung fuh. I mean, we can look at this here,
and I'm not a martial arts expert, but I don't
know if this is a kung fu lesson or just
a terribly choreographed back and forth.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But anyway, here is the robot doing kung fu.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
So it's a we'll describe it for just the listeners.
Does it does a fun fist pump, some punches, some
like like a learned routine facing each other pretending to scar.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
And this does it's first of all, I do want
to say it's as boring as this sounds, right.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's with a robotic broom.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yes, So it's doing the Have you guys seen the
videos of Steven Segal when he's like doing kata, like
and he's like overweight, and so the people are just
selling everything and they're.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Like left right, okay, now.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah, yeah, and like he's like in a chair but
like just like kind of flipping people from a chair
and they're just like selling his moves. So this, like
martial arts master is Basically it looks like they've memorized
a school yard handshake, you know what I mean, where
they're just like left righthouse, right foot, turn around, high five.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Well, I mean, let's let's really see. I mean, right now,
they're just getting started. They're lightly tapping again, so they're
like sparring. But it looks like everybody has like practiced this,
which is like what you we We've talked before about
Elon Musk when he announced that like he had self
driving cars eight years ago and you know, showed a
(25:41):
video that went viral and then it was later revealed
that they had just like scanned the entire thing and
there was a human driver in the Like it was
an come to find out that's gently inside that robot.
Rights truly going full mcare Turk with it. Okay, go
on with this quote unquote learning kung fu display. Okay,
(26:05):
So they're tapping wrists. He kind of did a kick
that it blocked. He kind of pushed it and it
didn't fall down. Did that thing from Mission Impossible?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah? Were you what's his name Superman from previous Superman? Yeah,
like Cavil like loads his arms. They like taught it
to do like a little like armload thing shoulders loaded
his arms.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Okay, go on Duke's back up. Oh, it does, pretending.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
To kick the slowest kick I've ever seen. And then
and that's that. It's over, I would say.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But it's attached by like a big thick cord to
a track on the on the roof. So he's like,
you want to get away from someone doing kung fu
that's tied to a track, You just step three feet
to the other side of the track.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, you may recognize being tied to something above you
as the same technology they used to make Keanu Reeves
and the cast of Crouching Tiger look like they can
defy the laws of physics. And in this case, it
can't even like it. It just doesn't even look coordinate
enough to be human. It looks like a forty five
year old guy in karate class with children.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, they should make it after that whole display then
put its hands on its on its knees and go.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Oh, oh god, oh, by Jesus Christ, Oh man, you
guys want to watch some anime at my house.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was gonna fucking kill me. He pushed me hard.
That guys got my gun.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, that many people in the field
of robotics are very cautious to big up this Tesla
robot because there are still so many things to figure out.
Like one person's like the biggest thing is replicating human touch.
Like they're like, great, this, they've showed that this has
great limbic dexterity if we're talking about like just brutally
(27:55):
like what this is mechanically doing like it can it
can you know, sort of mimic someone doing a kick or.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
How Travis Kelce has great limb dick depsterity.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
But thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
But like when you think about the human touch thing,
like I feel like we've seen so many videos of
like automated.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Machines that are so rough, like they.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Don't know how to Like have you seen that video
that was like that came out a few years ago
of like the hot dog making machine.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Has not seen it until you should do it?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yeah, this is just so funny because to me, this
is exactly what they're talking about with like robots unable
to replicate like the human touch. It just knows like
movements out of velocity and so this like video is
just so funny.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, come to the future, motherfuck.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Floating a hot dog into like a tube butt and
then once it goes to the side, just no, completely
thrown off now, So yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Just keeps shoving it in then like slowly like just
assumes that it went in the thing, and then like
takes it over and just like hands it to the
person and it's just a mare hot dog. Like enjoy
nothing about this three, I said, enjoy, Yeah, nothing about
(29:12):
this very simple three step process that is literally like
the lowest rung of like what I could do, Like,
it is the lowest rung of job I could do
well high, you know, it's taking hot dog, putting in
a tubular bun, wrapping it in napkin.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Those one three that high could do it way better,
way much better. Because if you're getting high at your
hot dog job, I bet you you don't have to
think too much to put a hot dog together at all, know,
like that you could be so high that you go
to your job like, yeah, watch this fifteen there you go.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Come on. I will bet you that that guy also
does an incredible kung fu routine. There's no doubt in
my mind. He's like, Rick, do you don't have to
wear your karate ghee to work? We do have a uniform,
all right? Can I put a polo on top of
the gi?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Are they gonna know about my limbic dexterity?
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, they've been trying to solve like the I remember
reading an article about berries in the New Yorker. Yeah,
they were talking about how it's like this unsolvable problem
for the world of robotics to have something that has
like a gentle enough touch to pick strawbines, Like they
(30:30):
still need humans to pick strawberries and like blackberries because
the robots just like fucking smash.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
It's also like they're like, we still have to keep
paying these workers.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Also, the idea that it has to be like a
humanoid looking robot is so weird to me because like
no one was ever like, wow, but if only the
cotton gin looked like a person when it did it, Yeah, exactly,
like if only my toaster had a face. Like good
machines do a thing and they do well and that
it's these it's all these like tech billionaires like Zuckerberg
(31:05):
and Musk who don't have friends, and so they're like,
what if we solve the problem with the thing I make.
It's a virtual friend he's a robot friend. Three. We
don't need that, like because a lot of these roboticists
are like people, Like people don't realize they're not gonna
have legs. They're probably gonna be on wheels because they
(31:26):
don't need to have legs to function for whatever specific function.
It is, like, it's not like everything needs to be
a thing that looks like a human and therefore it
does all this work like it could be look like
a fucking tripod with wheels in one.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Arm and does a specific task a human would do.
But like the idea that it's like it's we will
be humanoid is just very sci fi.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
It will and do kata.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, it will smoke weed with me and laugh. It will.
I mean it's so revealing, right because it's always like
it's a human that obeys my every command. It literally
is like I just want slaves. That is exactly I'm
all boiling down.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Do we recreate that thing they said we can't have anymore?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah? Doesn't. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It has like big that they just want an older
brother energy do kung fu.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
They absolutely they want that robot to be like ten
inches taller than them and to do kung fu and
then go, Wow, you're actually pretty good at kung fu.
I think you're pretty cool for your age. I will
call you sense a Ywan. I'm going to tell all
my friends that you can ride BMX spikes with us
because you are cooler than a regular nine year old. Yeah,
(32:37):
it's a I.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That there was a display before where they had robotic
bartenders at a Tesla event that I was actually pretty
impressed with, and I'm almost positive they were using the
same technology for that that they're using here, which is
that there's somebody somewhere doing the job and it's.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Just mimicking their body.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
So it's like the essentially the mechanical turk, but like
you know, no, the robot isn't using it's like AI
mind to like competently do the very double job of
like pourning Champagne.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's like an underemployed an underemployed commercial actor or somewhere
in a room when we're in a full body suit
and he's doing the motions to nothing and the robot
is just doing it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, I think that's what I think. That's what we're
working with here, and this is this is the latest
in that technology, which is like being held up by
a thing that I could look fucking so sick if
they had me hanging from right, you know, from from
a bungee cord, and instead it's just doing very basic.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
But I think it just goes to show though too.
Like it's always like this weird shell game with Elon
Musk and Tesla. It's like, are you a car, because like, no,
we're not a car. Come, we're fucking AI robot shit.
And now he's like, we're making robot slaves. Dude, that
dou kung fu, Like that's that's the fucking big picture. Man.
You gotta fucking zoom out, dude, It's not a car,
it's this ship ten trillion dollars. Man. It's funny because
(34:01):
like he is literally the richest person in the world,
or if not the richest, the second richest person in
the world. But he operates his businesses the same way
that I have done every interview whenever I'm desperate for work,
where they're like and can you do this, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, definitely.
I'm like sometimes I'm a comedian, but I'm a writer.
But I also I am very good at at a
customer service, and I could I could as well? Yeah,
(34:22):
child development, Yeah yeah, I mean I guess the question
is like, what do you want because that's what I
could do. Oh yeah, just looking for someone to sort
of clean up the bar at night. My passion in
life is actually cleaning. I'm like, that's what I'm always
telling people. I love to clean.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
People ask me regularly if I'm on meth. There's like,
that's how much I love cleaning.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I'm so dude, And no I'm not. I'm just enthusiastic,
you know what I mean. He has that same rapid
fire meth pivots. Yeah yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Back to the world of politics and failing to sell something.
It seems like the Democrat shut down is not being
sold as such. People are not don't seem to be
buying it.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
No, No, I mean, look, they're they're really trying to
sell this thing, as you know. The main framing from
the Republicans is this.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Is a Schumer shut down because Democrats want to give
healthcare all the illegals and that's why we're not gonna
play ball.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
And again, this is not the fucking case. In fact,
I think for starters, the messaging is not working because
more people believe that the GOP is responsible for this
than the Democrats, despite them pointing the finger constantly Democrats.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Because all three branches of government is that yeah, yeah, yeah,
wholely yeah, And they could also are weird sometimes.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I mean they could also they could also just unilaterally
do it themselves in the Senate if they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Sure, but they're not, so what gives there?
Speaker 4 (35:47):
But again, uh, they're they're going to continue this thing
about it's it's it's all because they want to help illegals.
But I think for starters, just again to be clear
on why they're not negotiating with the Republicans, it's because
they want to extend the ACE Affordable Care Act subsidies
to keep people's insurance affordable, and if it gets vaporized
like in the big beautiful build nonsense, then millions of
(36:10):
people are going to be facing just like skyrocketing costs
like doubling of their premiums, and some people who just
want to be able to afford it at all, no
matter what. And they also want to reverse like the
insane cuts to Medicaid because like people shouldn't suffer.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
More than they already do in this country. Is kind
of I guess where they're coming from. But the reason
they latch onto this specific thing of like, well they
want to give illgals.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Medical care is because they're talking about this very technical
part of Medicaid called emergency Medicaid that allows hospitals to
be reimbursed for care they would give to someone who
wouldn't be able to qualify for Medicaid or Medicare. So
that'd be like undocumented people or if you're awaiting a
change in your immigration status. So any hospital that receives
(36:57):
Medicare funding is obligated to provide that care as a condition, because,
like you know, we have laws that are like do
you know, I mean, despite what you may read.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
You can't let people just die in the street, right,
you know, you usually got to do something about it, so,
you know, So when Vice President Couch Copulator says things like,
quote a lot of emergency healthcare at hospitals that are
provided to illegal aliens that was funded by the federal government,
we turned off that funding because of course, we want
American citizens to benefit from those hospital services, not to
(37:28):
be taxed, and then to have these hospital services go
to illegal aliens.
Speaker 4 (37:32):
Again, first of all, when he says we turned off
that funding. That doesn't mean they're just kicking people out
of the hospital, like they just take What they're doing
is they're taking away funding from hospitals.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
So need then have to Yeah, you're not allowed to
just let people die because fucking woke, So they have
to then just spend money on that, and therefore healthcare
for everybody gets way worse. Yeah, because you're not properly
funding the hospital. So it's when you go to like,
you know, rural hospitals are already suffering the most from
(38:06):
this kind of shit. But again, they want to give
this impression like it's some like white nationalist wet dream
of human suffering.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
He's like, that's actually what we're doing. It's like, no,
you're not. Actually you're you're degrading the entire healthcare system
by taking away the funding. That's that's what's actually happening.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
And Mike Johnson went into like a full spin zone
on Sunday, telling any news show that would have him that.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Again, they just want to give it to a legal
cartoon narco gangbanger spentanel and that's that's what they're that's
who they're fighting for.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Fortunately, a few anchors pushed back and kept it moving,
like that's not true at all Anyway's speaker Johnson, what
about this? Also as an aside fun news story. Remember
Covenant Eyes we talk about all the time, the porn.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
So this is one of the first things we learned
about Mike Johnson was that he uses an app with
his son that is like sort of a dead hand
switch type situation where if you jack off, your son
gets it. If you jack off to porn on the internet,
your son gets a report about it, and vice versa.
If your son jack's off to porn on the internet,
(39:06):
it's you get a.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Report on it. It's an anti porn Internet accountability software program.
You know, that's a one way street. Assuming his child
like knows how to operate the Internet, and this dipshit
like has no idea, you know, every like I just
want jerk off using a mobile phone, right exactly. It
will log into the app before I off.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Besides step it. Yeah dad, I'm doing great, you two.
I won't even act like I heard what was coming
out of your laptop last night.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
But again, so this whole thing was like he's like,
we're very chased and we're very about like you know,
or purity because of porn is such a terrible thing.
So one of the like the co founder, this one guy,
you know, he sort of had this whole anecdote about
how he's like, you know, it's for my step sons
to really like, you know, we wanted a way to
be accountable to each other.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Well, one of his step sons, last Blare in August,
was arrested in like a to catch a predator style
sting where he thought he was going to meet a
minor and they pulled up his phone and he had
like child sexual abuse in like material on his phone.
So we're like one of the ares of the app.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Yeah, his step son, who like his whole story, his
anecdote was like this, this is sort of the impetus
for even creating this thing, so we have accountability between
my step son tonight.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well tell you what, if there's one person who should
not be looking at porn, it is that step son.
So yeah, yeah, which you're like, what's the like, well,
how dark is this tale before? But anyway, that's what
Mike Johnson, who's you know, loves talking about the efficacy
of this app. Just a quick just to check in
with the people who are running that. No, nothing weird
happening over there or at all. Just that's the kind
(40:43):
of healthcare that we support, is uh yeah, the Covenant
Eye style health Covenant Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
Yeah, it's just like porn spy. But they gave it
like the creepiest fucking name. Like it's just like you
picture a like the guy from the Da Vinci Code,
like the Monks of like whipping himself by the back.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Jack Yeah yeah, played by Paul Betony.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Yeah, Covenant Eyes a blood Covenant Jesus between me hitting
yourself with the cat with nine tails Jesus. I mean.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
The other thing about the healthcare is like I just
I can't. I understand that they're desperately trying to push
this narrative, but it's like, I don't think there's anyone
even if you're even if you are really far right,
who is Like the thing that we need to do
to fix healthcare in this country is have like more
questions when you walk into the emergency room to sort people, right, Like, yeah,
(41:35):
it's so no one wants.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
This right in our emergency room exactly Americans are asking for.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I want more people to be turned away in pain
and suffering, right, like it's fix the problem, which is
that healthcare is expensive, it doesn't work. That's not how
you fix it. Every if you believe that you're wildly
being misled.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Yeah, they, I mean Mike Johnson went up on Monday
morning was being like, guys, the thing you don't understand
is we're the Republicans.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
We're the ones protecting the healthcare. Okay, that's where we're
coming from. That's why we're standing firm on this. And
it's like said, the party who's done fuck all with
healthcare for as long as I can remember. It's like,
you know, they've always just been the one opposing things
that we're expanding healthcare benefits to people. But yeah, go on,
tell us, tell us more about that, Mike john It
(42:23):
is also the thing where, you know, the people who
are going to be most hurt by this tend to
be in Republican states, right, Like this disproportionately benefits Republican
districts and Republican states. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:35):
It's it's like funny too because there are other people,
like Republicans are getting confronted with like the polls and
they're like, oh, those those that's a I've seen. Actually
the opposite and polling, and they've been asked, oh yeah, okay,
which one, and they're like, and the one I.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Made up to rhetorically be able to not be owned
by you right now the poll that my girlfriend in
Canada just did, Okay, who's a different school. The poll
goes to a different school, guys. I just think about
the fact that every government website has the like little
banner that says, like the radical left shut down the government.
Is a really desperate attempt here to make it so
that people will believe that it's not the people in
(43:12):
control of government who are shutting government.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
I mean, the amount of traffic flooding to those websites
at all times, I'm sure, I'm sure it's really hitting
people hard. All right, let's take it. Let's take a
quick break, we'll come back, we'll talk about the super Bowl,
(43:35):
and we're back. And continues to be largely l city
for the right when it comes to cultural wins. It
feels like I heard somebody say recently that like the
left tried to use their cultural power to gain political win.
(43:56):
Not the left, sorry, the Democratic Party tried to use
their like cultural acumen and like, you know, influence to
try to win political power and that always fails, and
the right is using their political power to try to
gain cultural power, and I feel like it's equally in
advisory that way. They're just like, we're gonna fucking arrest
(44:18):
you forget for doing a halftime show that we don't like.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Oh, that's so cool, that's so cool. They said that.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Oh man, I love that exactly. That's cool, but bad
these people are kind of neat. Yeah, So Christy Nome
just confirmed that the super Bowl will suck thanks to
Ice because the halftime show will feature bad Bunny. Ice
is going to be all over the event, according to her,
in order to make sure that attendees are quote law
(44:43):
abiding Americans who love this country.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
According to Nome, so fucking vague. What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Like they're they're they're checking citizenship at the fucking ticket gate.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Yeah, Like this is.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
Going to be a real problem for the people who
paid thirty thousand dollars for a seat at the super
Bowl or like, you know, are part of the Ford marketing.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
Team like that.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
The people who go to the super Bowl are celebrities,
people who are on like a brand team. And then
just like extremely wealthy people who are fans of one
of the two teams, Like that's.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
What and there are I mean, I know people who
are unwell who will like spend all of their money,
Like I have friends who did that with the Dodgers
World Series last I'm like, bro, you cannot.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Afford to go to the World Series, Like I'm going.
I'm going, dude, I'm going. That's all there is.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
And I'm like you, oh, okay, whatever, Like nobody knows
anything anymore.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Sure they're gonna be like in that pit of like
you know how they always have like a big group
of like dancing children, just like just like knocking children
over trying to.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Try to let me see your let me see your ID.
Speaker 7 (45:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
She said people should not attend the event she unless
they are quote law abiding Americans who love this country.
Said that NFL officials won't be able to sleep at
night for picking bad bunny, adding that.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
They're so weak.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
We'll fix it and then they suck and we'll win
and God will bless us and we'll stand and be
proud of ourselves at the end of the day. It
sounds like she's about to go to war, just wage
a religious war between this and though.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
You think your hardcore. We're so much more hardcore than you.
From Steven Breler. This is just peak loser talk again.
They suck and will win. They suck and we'll win, right,
are you for real? It's incredible because it's the kind
of ship talking that normally one team does against the
other team, and instead she's doing it against the concept
(46:39):
of the Super Bowl. Right, Yeah, they suck and will
win super Bowl, will lose. And it's like, do you
actually even know what you're talking about? Oh? Yeah, they suck,
never win. They is the super Bowl? Yeah, you're right,
and all the NFL fans they suck too. Whoa, they
(46:59):
won't a leap at night having picked bad Bunny. It's like,
I'm guarantee you those guys they're real well and.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
I think they're fucking thrilled that you're saying what you're
saying right now?
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Are going to tune in? Yeah? You know how much
they're gonna charge for fucking advertising? That's the whole point,
you know what I mean? Like, you put a fucking
person in the halftime show because you want more eyeballs
on it, and they go, what about this internationally renowned
artist that might help might might help get some eyeballs
on it. Also, every like roided up racist who a
(47:31):
joined ice is thrilled that this is the next assignment.
They're like, yes, I can, I can resell the tickets
that I mortgaged my house for.
Speaker 4 (47:41):
Yeah, yeah, I have to get rid of some super
Bowl tickets.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
Turns out I'm gonna be there for work. Unrelated note,
but yeah, incredible that now the work, the work trips
to the super Bowl are going to be like uh,
white supremacist police force and the rams marketings deeper Nike,
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (47:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's like, what do you do, oh, our client,
we spent a lot of money with this one brand.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
They just they gave us like a few tickets and
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
I do think, like, I don't know, I think we're
seeing this taken like this idea of them trying to
use political power to get cultural cache. I do think
we're seeing this taken to a higher level than we've
ever seen, like the Barry Weiss like taking over CBS
News and then paying one hundred and fifty million dollars
for a blog that like I don't know, not that
(48:27):
many people went.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
To Whoa, Whoa Whoa. The people who were fighting woke.
We knew, we knew, right, we are on that shit
from day one. Yeah, yeah, I don't think it's gonna work.
Like I still think people will reject this shit, like yeah,
I think I think CBS News will suck under Bari wise.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
It's that's the thing. It's it.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
I think it's mostly just effective because it's completely dulling.
The not dulling, but it's diminishing the journal like the
industry of journal the professional the profession of journalism to
have like these outlets that used to be seen as like,
oh yeah, that's probably a good journalistic outlet, now just
be completely owned that they're like, oh now, yeah, you
(49:09):
can't trust anything CBS says, you can't trust anything this
news thing says because they all have some kind of maga,
you know, content chief like you know, combing through the
stories to tell you what's what that eventually like it's
just I think that's the whole thing is probably just
to try to injure journalism as much as possible, because
it's like those are that's where people end up calling
the fucking politicians that are used to but now they
(49:30):
have to do it from substak you know.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
It's like it's also because it's across the board, right,
these are the people who like are the the biggest
opponents of DEI and of people who are unqualified for
their jobs getting hired for their jobs. And yet like
their entire project right now is getting people who are
totally unqualified put into.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
Jobs, so including themselves, including.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
Themselves, oh, every single one of them. It's just like,
you don't have any relevant experience for this job. Oh.
Speaker 4 (49:58):
Then I've never ever done any actual factual reporting on something.
Just because I'm a pundit named Barrie Weiss, I think
I know something about real journalism even though I've never
actually engaged it in my life exactly.
Speaker 1 (50:11):
I mean, this is it's it's just one of these
things where it's like that anytime they attack something, you
know that it's the thing that they're trying to do, right, Like,
whatever it is that they say they're against is the
thing that they're actually trying to do, just in their
own form. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
The the wild thing was that I think that quote
from Christina Home about the they sulk and wheel win
was when she was hanging out with fucking Benny Johnson
during like their Chicago ice raids or something, and then today, right, yeah,
and then he posted this video where he's like I
actually got her. Like we were thinking about they've got
a new ice processing facility that they want to you know,
(50:46):
brutalize human beings inside of or we call it processing illegals.
And there he said, we we came up with a name.
We workshopped it, and it's going to be called Deep
Dish Deportation Depot.
Speaker 1 (50:58):
That's so funny. It's so see they are.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
They are funny because because Chicago has Deep Dish pizza
and it's alliterative and that is the highest form of poetry.
Speaker 1 (51:11):
My god, they all have they all start with D.
Dang dude. Also, you know the fact that Bennie Johnson
is the like America first guy while also being funded
by Russian propaganda. Yeah right, yeah, It's just.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
Why don't they let Bennie Johnson do the halftime show,
you know, instead of Bad Bunny. Yeah, good Benny.
Speaker 1 (51:30):
Oh they did. That's it. That's it right there. But
they had Benny, they had a good Bennie.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
We saw the effect though, because that interview happened on
Friday and Bad Bunny was supposed to do. Uh, I
guess Saturday night Live the season premiere on Saturday, and
they had him running for the hill. Oh wait no,
actually he's still just hosted US as effected.
Speaker 1 (51:58):
It's fine.
Speaker 4 (51:59):
He did troll him in his opening monologue though, because
he's like, yeah, man, He's like, obviously I was announced
as as the super Bowl halftime performer, and everyone fucking
lovely god guys, even.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Even Fox News, bad Bunnet. This is my favorite musician
and he should be the next president.
Speaker 4 (52:24):
Perfect is my favorite music entry would be the next president.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
That was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (52:30):
Did you guys watch any did you watch the Cold Open?
Speaker 1 (52:33):
I got to. I got a few minutes into the
Cold Open and it was too real.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Yeah for me, Colin jo just as Pete haig Seth
doing his I thought they you know, they made some
points about how he's like everything needs to be de
woke and masculine. You need to be hairless and hot
and shredded, and we need hot, shredded men. But then
like Trump, So James Austin Johnson's Trump then comes out
(53:00):
and addresses the camera directly and it is like I'm
gonna take SNL off the air, And it's like, when
you compare it to who Trump is now it's like
the sharpest and most like likable and coherent Trump that
exists currently right, Like and like, I don't know, in
(53:21):
recent weeks, he's been like obviously attacking and harming American
citizens and fucking Chicago. The footage coming out of Chicago
is fucking terrifying. But like, he also sounds completely incoherent
all the time. Like he that we talked about him
retweeting that AI video where it was like a video
(53:43):
of him that was generated by AI, where he was like, there,
we're going to have like put together in the same
manner as that bad Bunny clip. We are going to
have med beds and yeah, like just everybody conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
That he then took down. And when people were like
what the fuck was that, Caroline Levitt was like, I
think the president saw the video and posted it and
then took it down. It's like, yeah, no, that that
was what we were asking, That's exactly what happened. Why
did he post a video that was an AI created
clip of him making an announcement? Doesn't that suggest that
(54:20):
he's confused about reality?
Speaker 1 (54:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (54:23):
She was like, he has the right to do that,
it's his social media. He's incredibly transparent as you all know,
Like it just sounds like they're and we heard the
behind the scenes conversation of fucking Covenant Eyes being like
you know when she was like the president is unwell
and unhinged, and he was.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
Like you you are. You have people too, Yeah, yeah,
he said, all like basically you also have people like that.
It just feels I.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
Don't know, like we're we're reaching a point where maybe
like Trump as fun loving and coherent person and doesn't
totally make sense.
Speaker 1 (55:02):
I don't know, I like his oppression great in years
of constant exposure, right suddenly.
Speaker 2 (55:08):
Yeah, I don't know, just just the like the gut
feeling of after having seen like where he's fallen to
and then having the same James Austin Johnson come out
with essentially the same Trump impression. It's it does feel
like a little bit uncanny for him for that impression
(55:29):
to still be as coherent as it always was, and
Trump to be as incoherent. And you know, it's also
like you can't necessarily like make it a fun show
if Trump is incoherent and like clearly dying on stage.
But it does seem to I don't know, maybe it's
just worth noting that, like, like that's how much the
(55:54):
drop off in his cognitive ability has been. Is that
it just feels different now. It's like that's not quite
right anymore, feels like different.
Speaker 1 (56:05):
Man. Yeah, I do think that sometimes political figures you
get this like huge benefit from the pop culture understanding
of them being better than their actual self, right, Like
like Biden I think really benefited from the Onion's version
of Biden being like I'm suretless washing my trans am
on the White House lawn, like people that image. Even
long past when they were putting those articles out, people
(56:26):
are kind of like, yeah, he's like the fun crazy uncle.
And like with Trump, it's like he is truly like
very difficult to follow, making wild, extremely dangerous decisions. But
then like when you see the impressions of him, it's like, yeah,
but he's kind of like a funny business man, right, ye, right, yeah, Yeah,
it's hard to square that with the reality, and a
lot of people don't square with the reality. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (56:49):
I think that's where it's kind of happening now, because
it's just becoming like to your point of the Caroline
Levitt thing, she had to be like, I think it's
great that he likes memes and it's like, mmm, okay,
Like the question was what's he getting at with this
weird shit?
Speaker 1 (57:03):
And you didn't have an answer for that.
Speaker 4 (57:04):
You had to spin because that's an uncomfortable answer to
have to actually give, like something sincere about. And yeah,
even with Johnson when he was confronted by Madeline Dean
of just being like his essentially, she was like you
with all this shit, and he's like, oh, I mean y'all,
y'all got some weirdos too, And you're like, Okay, some
weirdos too too, so we know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
Okay, are you sure about that? You sure about that?
But you know, as SICA fans continue to do their
sick a dance, That's right, sick a dance, all right.
Speaker 2 (57:35):

the daily zite Geist. Where can people find you? Follow
you all that good stuff.

you can follow me at at Chris the letter I Duffy.
Speaker 2 (57:50):
There it is, And is there a work of media
that you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1 (57:54):
You know, we were just talking about the Onion and
I feel like the Onion every once in a while,
I mean actually very frequently. Right now, they are just
nailing how to do satire that actually doesn't empower the
people in power and is really funny. Uh So, I've
been really enjoying all the Onion coverage, but specifically they're
uh talk of fascism, dangerous Warren's Ministry of Compliance. That
(58:15):
was one of my favorite headlines. Right yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (58:18):
Uh, Miles, where can people find you? Is there work
Amedia you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1 (58:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you find me everywhere at Miles Gray.
You find me talking about ninety day on four to
twenty day fiance. Let's see a work Amedia. There's just
a lot.
Speaker 4 (58:33):
I mean, just Barrie Weiss becoming the head of the
editor of editor in chief or whatever her head freaking
charge at CBS News is terrifying. A lot of posts
on Blue Sky about it. First one is from Anna
Marlandavi's got a Social post it let it never again
be said that a woman with no real reporting experience
(58:55):
who fell for a Twitter account called official Antifa cannot
be the head of a huge news organization. Jared Yates
Sexton on Blue Scott at Social Post and Hopefully the
whole Barri Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking
people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly
populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained
unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tellwealthy people exactly
(59:19):
what they want to hear.
Speaker 1 (59:21):
Hmmm interesting.
Speaker 2 (59:23):
You can find me on Twitter at jack Underscore, Brian
on Blue Sky at jack Obe the number one.
Speaker 1 (59:28):
I liked Pooky on.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
Twitter at Poogy's Paradise tweet. Is there specific posts that
you still think about? And Brandon Snoosning retweeted just a
picture of the post from Hereditary on the side of
the roadside. I liked that, and then I also liked
a thing that was being screen captain sent around was
Patrick Cosmos at Very Important Lawyers post working on a
(59:54):
new unified theory of American reality. I'm calling everyone is
twelve now strong and I want to have like fifty
kids in a farm. Of course you do, you're twelve.
I don't want to eat vegetables. I think steak in
French fries is the only meal. Hell yeah, homie, year twelve.
Maybe if there's crime we should send the Army, Bless
your Heart, my twelve.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
Year old buddy oh Man. So good. It's pretty good read.

think that people might enjoy?
Speaker 1 (01:00:44):

a track called or a band called Rebounder, and I
think it's like a producer out of New York And
the track is called Tennis Bracelet and it's just like
just the name. I was like, what the fuck is
this track about? Why would you call me?
Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Like it feels like so like eighties like wasp like
yuppy coded like the Tennis Bracelet, and the song sounds
like that, like it has like this sort of like
you know, nostalgic, kind of yacht rocky, kind of like
everything's great, and I just got my lady a tennis
bracelet kind of vibe, but it's got a good it's
just a really I like the track.
