Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season thirty six, episode
two of Daily Night Guys. Who Are June nineteen, two
thousand and eight teen. My name is Jack O'Brien a K.
Jacko butt stuff. That is courtesy of our producer, super
producer an A. Hosnia, who will be joining us later.
So I always like to, you know, put the runway
down for her. And I am thrilled to be joined

(00:21):
as always by my co host, Mr Miles Gray. Everybody,
it's Miles ak you y'allo c uckle a K A
K nagamamas uh. And that's in honor of the Blue
Samurai's team Japan winning today against Columbia. I'm sorry, Alejandro
he now who was talking on Twitter you know today
hop on his home. So shout out to YadA the

(00:43):
Blue Samurai. That's the names. Yeah, I think I think

nicknames you guys wear. Blue is you know, we were red?
Uh so really just as a clever name, you know,
we were blue. We were coming okay, see you were
a Japanese jersey there all the time. Oh that's true.
I do well. We are throwing to be joined in

(01:04):
our third seat by the hilarious actress, YouTuber and podcast
host Mel Bredo. Am I supposed to talk now you
are well? And now yes? Yeah, oh my god, Hi,
Hi honey, thank you for having me. We're so excited.
That's honey, right. I'm not being problematic on the air.

(01:25):
Did you say hi, Heney, Do you think it's problem
to people? I think patronizingly if I was like, oh, hi, honey,
like you know, if you started like, hey, honey, all right,
thanks a lot, honey, Jack, you were saying Jack, take
it away, bro, bro, Now you're good. You're good. It
means honey. All right. Well, we're going to get to
know you in one moment, but before we do, we

(01:47):
like to tell our listeners what they have in store.
Up top, we're gonna talk a little bit about ABC
and the wonderful show The Bachelor, super producer around a
Hosni he knows every anything about. We're gonna talk about
the Carter's album and album release. We're gonna talk about
families being torn apart at the border again and just

(02:09):
Fox News is reaction. We're also going to talk a
little bit of about the Koch Brothers fighting public transit.
Just all sorts of Republican goodness. We are going to
talk about the rapper Triple X Tantasione, who was killed
yesterday in Florida, and we're going to get a sports

(02:30):
update from Miles. But first we like to get to
know our guest and Mel. What is something from your
search history that is revealing about who you are as
a human being? Oh no, no, big deal. Just we're
going to be judging you. Oh no, Um, everything in
my search history is embarrassing honestly because it's phrase like,

(02:52):
you know, del taco vegan. I never write in complete
sentence of right or like los feel is best, but
probably the worst one recently is vegan taco bell. Vegan
taco bell. Yeah, anyth where you're disappointed by, No, there's
a lot of vegan stuff to talk about. I actually
looked it up only to choose what looked the best

(03:15):
taco bell. I know. It's disgusting though that I spent
that much time thinking about it and it still ended
up a taco bell. That is first degree taco bell. Yeah,
first degree taco about it like that? Yeah, Usually taco
bell is something that you're like an unconscious part of
your brain takes over and you just find yourself with
like rappers on your leap right, like the lot Like

(03:39):
it's similar to bringing taco about home and like unwrapping
it and eating it on a plate. You know what.
I don't do that. Wait, I do that? No, you
do not? Yeah, and I don't know. This is a
subconscious party of brain takes over. It's my birthday or
I'm having I got a raise or something. I go
to Taco Bell. That's what I mean, That's what I do.
You know today I might, you know, celebrate Juneteenth. I'm

(03:59):
gonna go to talk. Yeah, but Taco Bell? Wait, what's
vegan over there? What can you get? Okay? You want
to know the best thing to order beans and rice
in a brito? The best thing, hands out is the
concept supreame. But you sub beans for beef, and then
you take out the cheesy take out star cream and
you add in potatoes why it is so good? And

(04:20):
then obviously like drenche and hot sauce. There you guess. Wow,
you you earned the coveted Owen Wilson Wow from thank you?
Thank you? What is something you think is overrated? Space? Alright? Done?
Don't like space? What do you mean like the outer space. Yeah,
why do we commit so many resources to fucking space? Yeah,

(04:42):
I don't get it. Space is cool, but I don't
think we should be spending that kind of money on
something that's kind of for fun. You know, it's always
it's kind of for fun. I've been out there like
three times this year. It's not that great. I'm just
saying like, at some point we're just being like, can
we do it? Oh? Look, we did it twenty billion
dollars later. It is by definition nothing It was just
nothingness except interesting. Now there's garbage flying around at the

(05:05):
speed of bullets, which wouldn't be there if we hadn't
gone there in the place. But space, I mean, there
are very they're deep secrets in space. For example, the
Juno probe going around Jupiter. Jupiter holds the secrets of
like the formation of our Solar system, but we don't
know yet. How does how did knowing the secrets change
your day to day life? Well, for example, I mean

(05:26):
a lot of things like the camera phone, digital cameras
are a gift to us because of NASA. GPS stuff
is a gift to us because of NASA technology. A
lot of technology we have on Earth to the NASA.
I know what you mean in terms of like I
think when you think of it, and I don't mean
to come in and well that's not right, but that's
let me tell you about space real quick. But yeah,

(05:46):
I think in terms especially when you see now like
all the rich people fighting over trying to do it
with space, I'm like, my god, we have so many
problems on earthly and also the ocean. Yeah, we've still
never been to the bottom of that, and that's way
closer than the moon. We know less about the ocean
right then, we do not. Okay, as far as I'm concerned,
I want to see some dinosaurs and I'm pretty sure
they're down there, almost definitely a dinosaur, more than I
want to know the deep secrets of space. Well, this

(06:08):
is topical because Trump just announced that he is like
officially going forward space force isn't honestly, yeah, and his is.
I think General McMaster was like, this is a dumb idea,
likes specifically on the record as being like this is

(06:30):
not that thing. But you know, because the inside of
our president's head is a Saturday Morning cartoon from the
early eighties. Uh, he's going full steam ahead. I think
He announced it during a press conference where he was
talking about like border security. Such interesting timing, isn't he's
talking about? Though? There was that one time when he

(06:52):
had a bunch of Air Force cadets around him and
he said, or maybe actual people enlisted men in the
Air Force and Space Force, and motherfucker's are laughing behind it,
like looking to each other like like yeah, they're like
he said, he said, you bucks, because these are like
the military are the most like realistic, you know, they're

(07:12):
there spacewalk right, but they're also not like they don't
have their fucking heads in the clouds that are not
like sitting there thinking about like making pew pew sounds
when the president does when he's like running around playing
with amazing playing with the ball that Jeff Sessions gives him.
When are we gonna have a tie fighter? I want
that now? Literally what he's asking, have you heard the

(07:32):
sound that it makes? It's like a screaming things like yeah.
But I'm pretty sure that like everybody who is not
him has called it a tremendous waste of resources. And
it's always the Republicans who like want to just go
in science because it debunks their dumb fucking ideas. Well. Know,
they're supposed to be fisically conservative. I'm saying they're supposed

(07:54):
to be fiscally conservative, but they go all in on
space ship, so they do. Really, Yeah, Reagan had Star Wars, right,
but I mean, like, okay, I guess I'm thinking in
terms of like the Congress now, because we really just
like batcheck for Reagan had Star Wars, he makes star Wars.
That was all his idea and it was secretly his
way of introducing this idea. So Trump would eventually make

(08:17):
space No, it was his plan to create a missile
shield that shot down nuclear bombs that were flying towards
America nuclear missiles from space. So an alien also develops
nukes in this scenario. It's basically the like some manner
of us. It was a huge waste of resources. Interest again, Yeah,

(08:38):
what is something you think is underrated? I think sincerity.
I think obviously I'm in the comedy world and it's
not cool to be sincere, and especially like with the
digital aid, I think social media being sincere is like
so easy to just rail at the end of the
earth with that, you know, But I kind of think
that it should have a comeback. I think twenty teens

(08:59):
that year that we get back to being sincere and
not like inherently making fun of me. An example of
how you're seeing a hostile attitude towards sincerity. Um okay, So,
like I was on vine and there are some miners that, like,
I mean, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but they
will post stuff just kind of like six second inspirational stuff, right,
just being like, hey, no one kind of raise who
you are except for you, So like don't necessarily the

(09:23):
most eloquent inspirational speech. But to this day, I see
her vines getting retweeted just so people can like limp
back her, and it's like thousands and thousands of replies,
and it's just like, dude, look at what you're doing.
She was trying to help some maybe at risk kids
that followed her, right, and you're like, oh, I want
to I wonder if it's just the medium to kind

(09:45):
of betrays that, because it's like, hey, guys, don't worry
no one, like, don't compare yourself to other people, because
being the best version of you is the best thing. Ever. Hey, guys,
don't worry about being like slowly be like, I don't
know if they're saying very good, but I guess yeah.
Sometimes the sincerity thing is just maybe it jars people

(10:08):
too much. Like I'm here for sarcasm, not real shit.
I'm here to escape, even if it's something positive. I
don't want to be reminded of reality. Yeah, Like I mean,
don't get me wrong, it is funny, but like, do
we have to be so mean about it? You like
laugh in real life without ever having to share that
you're making because straight up a bully, straight up bully. Yeah.

(10:28):
If you if if you're putting your energy into like
tearing some ship down, it's not a good use that
that's that's you're putting out negative energy. I don't want
to turn this thing down. I mean, just if you
don't like it, to just keep it moving. That's what
I'm thinking. Agreed, put your energy on yourself, focus on yourself,
worship yourself, and not talk about how good you are.
Well it has been settled. No more sarcasm the internet.

(10:51):
And finally, what is a myth? What's something you think
is true that most people believe to be false or
the other way around. I forget, according to every one
of my heateral girlfriends. They think that uncircumcised dicks are
gross or like not preferable. They're wrong. They're straight up wrong, alright,
n Circumcised dis are the best type of dicks in

(11:12):
my opinion, and I have to get a horn for that, Nick.
I have been preaching this to my girlfriends forever, and
so many of them have these opinions without ever even
having encountered one in the wild. They don't even know
what they're talking about. They've just been fed the rhetoric,
and I've been like, no, trust me, give it a shot.
They have every single one of us come around, give

(11:32):
it a shot. I think, Yeah, it's it's a weird
culture we live in this country. But like most other places,
circumcision is more tied to a religious belief that he's
here too. We just don't know that the history of
it is totally religious. No, no, no, but I'm saying
even like in other like it's specifically there where people
here just like yeah, yeah, like a circumcised kid. It's
not right, right, It's like, oh, so is this for

(11:56):
a brisk Like No, no, no, I just I think
it's weird. Yeah, look, funny little hat on. We're all humans.
Out here, you know what I mean, I mean coming
out the gate. My opinion. Yeah, look, do what you
gotta do. But you know what, don't there's no reason
to shade the uncircumcised, right, do what you want to

(12:18):
something people aren't used to. And I think that yeah
in this country though, especially because like you go in
the Europe or like any other place, they're like, they're like,
oh are you Jewish? Word does not understand. Yeah. I
don't think they should have to. It's a weird thing
we do. As we have this discussion, I was just
kind of looking around about the prevalence of circumcision, uh,
and it looks like something you knew off the top

(12:39):
of your head. No, no, off the top of my head.
So the rates very widely from countries apparently, so like
one percent in Japan to two percent in Spain, and
then upwards of fifty percent in the US and more
than percent in Muslim majority countries. So it's it's out there.
But but there are many countries where people still keep
the PP intact. All right, we are going to get

(13:01):
into the stories of the day, uh. And we are
bringing on super producer on a Hosnier. She is our
bachelaure alogist bacheloragist. Uh yeah, well we'll go with that
on a what's going on in the world of the Bachelor?
Because you came in and just politely offered. Actually you
were just like I would talk about the Bachelor if

(13:22):
you made if you made space for me. I'm pretty
sure I threatened you at right, But surely thank you
so much for having me. You know, as you guys know,
I produce a Bachelor podcast. I'm sure I've never talked
about it before on the show. What is the podcast
on this network called Ethnically Ambiguous? Let's go Yeah, I
like that one. Your appearance on this show The Bachelor, right,

(13:47):
so let me tell you if you watch last night,
it was a doocy. And if you don't watch, that's fine.
Your life is probably great. But this season and past seasons,
there's been a serious issue with the casting. And I
read Bachelor Nation by Amy Kaufman as I do. I
read all batchelor related to do Bachelor scholarship that I do.

(14:09):
And something that's really started to bother me lately is
I know for a fact this is this is known
research that people have done on this show that ABC
the producers of the Bachelotte and the Bachelor do aggressive
background checks on all the contestants. That's how they do it.
You feel out like this huge questionnaire. Then they bring
you into a room and they have a producer asked

(14:32):
you a bunch of questions. This is before you even
chosen to be on the show. And then they bring
you into another room that's filled with all the producers
that are going to work on the show, and then
they basically spit fire questions at you, and then they
have a p I look into your background and try
and you know, they do a background check on you.
They look for everything, so they like look at your
social media, the everything, Like they if they're going through

(14:55):
your garbage with with a p I, they're presumably looking
at your social and they ask you, they say, what
do you need to tell us that will potentially come
out later in tabloids or something that we need to
get ahead of. So it's hard for people to hide
things like about last Bachelorette was the first black Bachelorette
um ever on ABC. Because there you go, ABC anything

(15:21):
exactly exactly. They had a racist on the show. Basically
he had this Twitter public Twitter where he tweeted a
bunch of like anti feminists, basically anti any sort of minority,
um rhetoric. He made it past the p I. Yes,
he made it pass. Which you know, that's the problem
is the vibe they give off is these producers want

(15:43):
good TV and that's the problem because it's like you
let a racist get on a show to compete for
the first black batchette because you know it's going to
cause problems. And they they denied this today when they're like,
we had no idea, but it's like, how do you
not know his Twitter is public? How do I find
that his name? And he you know, his whole thing
was he was just like getting in fights with all

(16:04):
the other African Americans on the show. And it's kind
of like, okay, cool, uh, this is a problem and
that's on this season. This was last Bachelorette. So but
that's what brings me to this season is they currently
have a sexual offender on the show and a guy
who on his Instagram was liking like transphobic and homophobic

(16:24):
and like anti immigrant and was like liking posts about
how David Hogg from the Parkland shootings as a crisis actor.
He liked a post for like feminazis and then like
a post of a like a border patrol person throwing
a kid back over the border, like stuff like that,
where you're like, what the fuck? How did this get
by you guys? So I looked into it because I

(16:45):
was like, yeah, okay, ABC, you didn't see this coming.
And the problem is the guy who liked all this
post front Runner on the show. So that's a problem.
He got the first impression Rose from the Bachelorette, and
she is gushing about him last night, she was all
about him, and we're all sitting here watching like this
is the state of the world we're in? Is this

(17:05):
just them choosing, like actually representative people from the American
diaspora choosing, like the people in this country believe this,
so might as well throw him in there and might
end up having sex with him. She's from Minnesota and
she likes him because he likes hunting and he's an

(17:27):
outdoor boy. He's a great time and but that's fine.
Do you know for a fact that she's not also
into those same homes. She's like a known like Hillary supporter.
She's always postingture. She posts a bunch of pictures at
the March like people have been talking about this like
this is not who she is. She's not one of those,
Like she's not those aren't her interests. So it's very interesting.
I don't know how he does in this season right now.

(17:48):
Doesn't feel good because he's a front runner. She really
likes him. It makes me very uncomfortable because clearly she
doesn't on the show, which was filmed like a few
months ago. She doesn't really have a sense of anything.
The other guy who's a sexual offender, he was a
rested before the show was cast for what it was,
battery and sexual assault, and he has to go to
like a a because he's an alcoholic. He also has

(18:09):
the rumor that he like ships in toilet paper nests,
and last night he revealed he was a flat earther guy,
just like kind of glossed over the ships and toilet
paper nest thing. Just a thing that people do, okay, here,
not the sexual offender and show. He also was trying

(18:31):
to convince a bunch of people on the show last
night that the earth was flat. There's so much wrong
with the student I know about him sexual offenders. I
did not know prior to you sharing this with us,
that there are people who are nesting. So he worked
at Oracle and this was something that came out after
he got on the show that his coworkers said that

(18:53):
he used to take. He doesn't like to I guess
his butt to touch toilet seats or something, So he
takes a bunch of toilet paper and it makes he
puts it on the ground. It makes a little like
a pile nest, and then he ships on that nest
and then I'll put it on the ground. Then I
guess he disposes of that. But multiple people who work

(19:14):
with him saw this happening in a stall at their work,
and then someone took a photo, and that's how it
became legitimized, because people would be like, that's not yes reality,
Steve has it. I haven't gone to look because I'm
not ready. No one's ready for that. But it came
out in a tableid where they were like, this is weird,
and then everyone's like, yeah, he's known as ship nestor
in the office or something like that. He sounds like

(19:35):
an actual goblin, but he's he's like a really hot
dude who's super buff. Are so weird? It's no, it's not,
it's not. He doesn't come off. He has more like
Psycho like what's his name the character on Psycho No,
not Psycho American. Yes, he comes off is that where

(19:56):
he's like together and he's like attractive and he's like buff.
But it's like this the most sane, like weird stories.
He's a flat Earth that I was blew my mind
as like, of course he is why a blend of
Dwyane Wade And that's what Myles said, Oh yeah, because
when you texted us yesterday to do to the Bachelor
flat Earth that I turned it on and I just
caught the end of it. I'm like, it looks like

(20:16):
Meek Mill and makes with Dwayne Wade. Yeah. Yeah, So
again I looked it up further because I was curious
and ABC, you know, had to put something out because
you can't really like. It came out that he has
this charge and he has to register as a sex
vendor and he got He got sentenced for a year
in prison, but was able to push it to two
years probation if he follows all these rules at the
court gave him. And they said that sometimes agencies only

(20:39):
focused on criminal records and don't look at civil filings
where some domestic violence cases pop up, and other times
a potential contestant has jumped from location to location, so
it's hard to track down their full record, and the
network sometimes ignore what they might see a smaller crimes
like shoplifting or possession of marijuana. And they say Batcherette
has a well respected and highly experiences third party entrusted

(21:01):
with the background checks, but they made no mention of
this guy's arrest. Yeah, they're the same people that vet
all of the White House cabinet and apparently Lincoln. This
guy didn't mention it himself, because why would he if
he didn't have anything he was probably I thought I
read some stuff that he was also trying to be
as deceiving as possible to try and get on. He's
a creep. He's already cried on the show. He's real

(21:23):
weird dude crying, hold on, get me a bucket, dude crying,
Come on. The reason he cried really weird, Like he
got a picture frame that he won a competition on
the show The Bachelor gave him a framed photo of
himself and the bachelorette, and he was like taunting all
the other dudes by kissing it. Being like this is

(21:44):
my future wife, like being real weird, and all the
dudes are like fuck you. And so one of the
dudes took the frame and just tossed it and then
he went to the bachelrette was like my photo. He's
also British moth photo. It's going to I feel this
guy just keeps getting better. British, come on a real person. Yes,

(22:08):
it's great television, So shout out to Lincoln And because
that's that's actually some drama that I've never seen, where
like somebody is just wildly politically problematic, but you're watching
somebody like fall in love like that's it's so frustrating.
But it's like, especially after the situation with Lee on
the Black Batcherette Rachel's season, do you think they would

(22:30):
really try? And not really, I mean it doesn't really
strike me as I'm not surprised by that at all.
I mean, like anyone who's been around a reality production
knows like it's about maximum conflict and just trying to
make the most mundane should seem as a stake as possible.
They are the network that canceled Roseanne. They're also the
network that put Roseanne on in the first place. Yeah.

(22:52):
I mean that's the thing is they try and come
off and be like, what we canceled Roseanne rut right,
we are not standing for this kind of stuff, and
it's like, okay, well that show exists. Also, an other
thing is they just dropped that show. The Proposal, which
straight trash. It's literally about a man who sits behind
like a wall where you can't see him, and he
just basically chooses women who he wants to propose to

(23:12):
within an hour. The show is only sixty minutes from us.
What based off looks and then very basic questions like
do you want kids? And like it doesn't make any sense, so, um,
maybe you're sexually offended someone. The first question was literally
the first question every time. It's a mess out here.

(23:35):
See get it together all right, thank you, super producer
on a hone, No problem here all week. We're going
to go to a quick break and we'll be right
back after this and we're back and Miles, first of all,

(23:58):
I want to wish you a happy June team. It's
not just for me because I'm black. Tent is just
for me, my guy, h Miles, I believe it's pronounced juneteenth. Yes,
uh Juneteenth is a you know, also known as like
the Second Independence Day for Americans, which celebrates basically the
day the last of the enslaved Africans in this country

(24:21):
got word that they were actually freed. So as we know,
the Emancipation Proclamation happened in eighteen sixty three, but it
was until eighteen sixty five where like word finally reached
these group of people in Galveston, Texas. Crazy, yes, and
like when I forget who was like these Union soldiers
were just making their way through and just kind of
being like, hey, just so y'all know, uh, ship's over

(24:43):
on a ship. Yeah they were on because it's on
a it's on an island, on Galveston Island. But basically,
it's a day to observe the ending of slavery formally,
but also to take a look at our freedom. Right.
It's a celebration of freedom. And that's why I say
it's not just for black people African Americans in this
country to to just be like, Okay, this is this
is a day for slavery ended. It's really a reminder

(25:03):
about freedom and how important that is, especially in this country. Uh,
And I think, yeah, no better day than today I
mean to bring this up. Obviously, Juneteenth will always be Juneteenth,
but considering the situation in our country right now, where
we are basically uh jailing young children uh and holding
them against their will and tearing them apart from their families,

(25:25):
it's very important to think about what this country stands for. Obviously,
slavery and sort of this unnecessary incarceration is unnecessary and
not part of the fabric of this country, although if
you look at our criminal justice system you would say otherwise.
But on paper, we would like to think that we
are a country that stands for freedom. And yes, you know,
I just remind everybody that this is all about understanding

(25:46):
our freedom, what that means, uh, and just how valuable
this is because yes, like I said, in the context
of what is going on in our country right now,
there's no better time to remind ourselves of that is
truly what one of our values is in this country.
End of the free and the home of the brave
and practice it's you know, we're still sucking up, but
we're we're moving towards that direction, I hope. Although the

(26:10):
last few days have been not great and you're saying
people besides you celebrate this. Yes, yes, yes, side you
and the characters on Atlanta. Yes, yes, yes. I mean, look,
it's not that I'm expecting white people to have Juneteenth parties,
but I don't want to. You don't want to. You
don't want to categorize it as like, oh, that that's
not for us, you know what I mean. Ultimately, the

(26:32):
meaning of Juneteenth is not just about slavery. It's about freedom,
and freedom applies to everybody. Of course, Yes, so we
do want to talk about the shitty, awful things happening
on the border, just as it becomes kind of the
main story that's being covered in the media right now.
It's it's kind of amazing because we're existing in a

(26:56):
new media environment now post two thousand and sixteen election,
and this is you know, everything is just ramping in
opposite directions. Like in the past, you would have a scandal,
the world would respond to, you know, just whatever horrible
thing happened, and then the people responsible would be sent
reeling into recovery mode and you know, they would come

(27:17):
up with a way to apologize. But because our president
is on a steady diet of you know, his own
racist propaganda machine, he is just straight up doubling down.
Like today he talked about how Democrats were responsible for
this policy. Now he's just straight up breaking out the
fucking racists, not even dog whistling, really, just like straight

(27:39):
up racists, police whistling. Uh, Like saying that Democrats want
the world to be infested by immigrants. Um, that's just
straight up like that's how Hitler thought of Jewish people
as like vermin that needed to be exterminated, And he's
straight up using that's sort of language. Um. And the

(27:59):
optics on Fox or just fucking incredible. Yeah, Fox is wow.
I mean we've seen over the last few days there
have been a few Republicans conservatives come out who can
call this situation what it is. It's inhumane, it's immoral,
and it's a stain on the history of this country.
But you have to keep in mind Fox is just

(28:22):
merely a propaganda machine for this party, and this party
is focused on the mid terms and their strategy is
to normalize all this ship and basically whip up their
base into a frenzy over immigration. So yes, yesterday on
Fox they really hit some fucking new lows. Uh. First up,
Tucker Carlson, a fucker Carlson just came off top with

(28:46):
I thought he was basically gonna say the fourteen words
after like this little bit that he went into yesterday
on his show. Because no matter what they tell you,
this is not about helping children. A lot of people
yelling at you on TV don't even have children, So
don't for a second let them take the more hype ground.
Their goal is to change your country forever, and their
succeeding by the way their kids go to private school.
If they have them, their neighborhoods look exactly like they

(29:09):
did in the nineteen sixty no demographic change at all,
just like they like it. There's no cost to them.
The cost is entirely on you. But don't complain or
else they will call you hitler the funk are you
saying my manner? First of all, what the fund is
this ship of having to be a parent or father

(29:29):
of a daughter or yeah, exactly basic human empathy. I
don't need a fucking child to look at a crying
child being torn from their family and say that is
fucked up. That's not good. And I don't want that,
and I don't want I don't want to live in
a country I don't want to support a government that
that has that as a policy. Also, like those same
people will are anti abortion for the sake of children.

(29:52):
Those same people believe in heaven and hell and don't
see that they would certainly go to hell for this. Yeah. Well,
you know what's funny is the method this church that
Jeff Sessions belongs to, Like a bunch of members of
the church, including clergy and other leaders in in the
Methodist Church sent a letter to the Department of Justice
to be like, Yo, this is fucked up because we

(30:13):
are seeing that. But that's not enough. We need more
people to speak up anyway, regardless of this this idea
that he's now even trying to kneecap, the idea that like,
you know, they're inoculating their viewers to be like, don't
let them like get you with this like humanity ship.
You know, they don't have kids. And then when he
goes on to describe sort of the scenario that a

(30:34):
lot of these white conservatives want, which is they don't
want the demographics to change. He was describing sort of
what the critiques of progressives are on sort of white conservatives,
but trying to sort of flip that back on to
the people who are so disturbed by the policy of
ice and homeland security. I don't know, okay, I mean
the complaint that Democrats don't have kids is just very strange. Well,

(30:58):
they have nothing. They no longer have real arguments to counter,
like what's being prisoner. There's no way to justify this.
It's not even a partisan issue. There's no way to
justify voluntarily separating children and imprisoning them and keeping them
in cages in order to use it as a bargaining
ship to get what you want for a political It
doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. Um. And then
also democrats generally think, you know things, growing more diverse

(31:22):
is a better way for the country to go and
tend to live in more diverse communities, And it's a
bizarre I don't know, it's like just kind of ignoring.
Like I understand his point that some progressives sort of
are hypocritical in the sense that they send their kids
to private schools but then vote liberally, But that doesn't

(31:45):
mean that they're not allowed to criticize people for fucking
tearing families. And also the people like he's on TV,
like Laura Bush was criticizing you or was criticizing this thing,
and she has children, you think those girls are her kids?
Come on Cruise even is about to introduce legislation to
try and end this family separation policy. So again, I'm sorry,

(32:08):
that's just so disingenuous, and you're just now at this point,
you're i mean even more so, just blatantly gaslighting your
viewers into just sort of like abandoning their humanity to
just be to act as a shield for this for
this administration. It feels like a movie. It doesn't feel
like real life rightsiated well, right, and then next was

(32:28):
I think he had the Head of Ice on his
show and it was kind of talking about this comparison
because a lot of people have been saying, how is
this any different word separating families? This is despicable. It's like,
this is very similar to what Nazis are doing, but
this is this is the defense of this policy from
the Head of Ice. You've heard prominent people compare your
behavior to that of the Nazis, to that of the

(32:50):
Roosevelt administration and turning the Japanese to bring World War two.
How do you respond? I think so an insult to
the brave men and women the Board and ICE to
call law enforce Andre's the Nazis. They're simply enforcing laws
enacted by Congress. You know, I wish there's this much
outrage about separation and families. I wish I heard this
much outrage. And we met with angel mothers and fathers
who children were killed by I mean Jewish citizen children

(33:14):
killed and separated from their families. Forever, I never heard
this outrage. So I think people on the Hill need
to need to straighten themselves out here. Let's protect American
citizens as much as you're fighting for the illegal alien. Wow,
as if children, the children are responsible for the better Also,
when they say what's your what's your response in people
comparing this to the actions of Nazis and then you

(33:35):
use the superior orders defense from the Nuremberg trials like
they were Finally, I'm sorry. First of all, we're just
upholding the law of the land. This is not unlike
the Nazis, got it so they have no agency. Yeah,
so yes, uh that was another just take. Right after that,
we were like, oh my god, like this is how
they are, this is how they're choosing to defend this

(33:58):
on Fox with all of their all of their viewers.
Do they watch Star Wars and sympathize with the Stormtroopers?
Oh yeah, I mean, I mean so many were needlessly
killed when the Death Star was destroyed, just calling orders.
They're not bad guys, right, exactly. I sympathize with his
misconception that illegal immigrants are responsible for like just all
the murders in America because he watches Fox News and

(34:21):
Fox News when a person who is in the country
illegally commits the murder that is, you know, the first
story and the last story that they report on. They
want people to think that immigrants commit more murders, even
though immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than people
who are already here. So that argument is actually just
completely and that's all they've been using or deploying really

(34:44):
really just non fact based ideas when defending this policy.
Like I know, Jeff Session was like, well, you know,
there's so many more families coming to the border. That's
it's like at historic lows. There's just a lot of
just misinformation to just essentially justify their racist policy of
inflicting as much harm on immigrants as possible. There's this

(35:05):
thing in psychology where like people project when they have
an internal problem they're not willing to deal with. They
project that problem onto other people around them that you've
all probably heard of. But I mean, the older you get,
the longer you live, it almost seems like a a
weird thing in theory that like is almost too sort

(35:28):
of backwards and counterintuitive to be true. But the longer
you live, the more you see that that actually happens
a lot. That like people will have a problem and
then be like, well, that person it's clearly you know,
whatever their problem tends to be. But I I feel
like with conservatives you kind of see that, Like if
you look at the things they were afraid of during
the Obama administration, it was like, uh, these FEMA camps,

(35:51):
which were you know that they were going to put
conservatives and children in camps like in the middle of
the desert, and they're like taking pictures of this cities.
They're like, Obama's gonna put us all intense cities, and
now they are actually putting children intense cities Like that's
city cities right exactly, the abandoned Walmart cities. It Uh,

(36:14):
it just continued on Fox last night. Next was Laura Ingram,
who I don't know that I'll describe this as a
generous description of the facilities these children are being kept in.
More kids are being separated from their parents and temporarily
housed and what are essentially summer cramp camps or is
the San Diego Union Tribune described them today is looking

(36:35):
like basically boarding schools. Wow. So let's just listen to
some audio from these children being sent away to their
summer camps by uh, some agents at the border. Why So,

(36:58):
that's a girl crying because she's been taken away from
her mother and father, and you know, other children around
her crying because they're being taken away from their parents.
And the ice agent is saying, we've got an orchestra.
All we need is a conductor, because all they're crying
is sounds like instruments. So not only are they, you know,

(37:20):
tearing these families apart and doing what almost all psychologists
agree is long term harm that you know, even if
the children aren't crying at first, which these children obviously were,
but even some of them aren't, that's they're internalizing the
trauma of being having their family torn apart. They're not
only doing that damage, but they're then mocking the children uh,

(37:43):
and you know, making fun jokes like hey, we have
an orchestra, let's get a conductor in here. How can
you guys listen to that? It's just that there was
another clip I heard earlier today and it sucked me up. Yeah,
it's if you are empathetic at all, you can't listen
to that and not be sucked up. And I didn't
know that you had kids. I have kids. I don't acknowledge,
but either way, no, I mean, for real, this is

(38:07):
it's so fucking dark like that we are doing I
mean voluntarily and it's just too again terrorize these brown people. Obviously,
you know, the capitalist machine relies on the labor of
these people in a lot of certain situations. They're out
of avocado farmers now in Santa Barbara right there, Millennials

(38:29):
write that down. But this is all upart, just such
a blatantly fucked up policy. And when you look at
all these Republicans sitting on their hands and not doing
anything about it, like not just now people are being like,
I'm going to introduce a bill, but like from the beginning,
you couldn't. Just the partisan politics of this whole thing
is really what's the most disturbing to me because you
had all the Republicans just lock steff with being like

(38:51):
circling the wagons, being like, okay, like, let's just try
and you know, obscure this problem as much as possible
and hopefully people won't realize. But this is precisely the
whole playbook of the Republican Party at this point, is
to just whip up a bunch of xenophobic, racist fear
intention in their voters to motivate them to go to

(39:11):
the polls in the mid terms, because all they're looking
at in the mid terms is, well, we're gonna before
it was, hey, let's talk about the tax plan. Let's
talk about the massive wealth redistribution we just did to
the top one percent. And maybe people will love that.
I mean, but let's be real, that did funk all
for people. So and it's not very popular that they're
kind of like, okay, well, what's the next best thing.
You seem to have a lot of favor with white supremacists.

(39:33):
Maybe we should lean into that, right, Maybe we can
turn out this group of people. Yeah, And I mean,
because the people who oppose immigration tend to live in
communities where they don't encounter immigrants and are like cloistered
into these homogeneous like all white communities, they just never
see the value of diversity. And you know, they've found

(39:55):
I've talked about the study before, but I think it's
just a really good metaphor for just the entire problem
is that, you know, Republicans tend to live in these
homogeneous communities. And the study found that people who are
in homogeneous groups, like where it's all white men, they
tend to be both more confident in their ability to

(40:17):
solve a problem with other white males and also like
way worse at solving the problem than people who are
in diverse communities where they're getting other points of view
and it's more difficult and it's harder to you know,
take those into account and change your own thinking. But
they're actually better at solving problems when you have diversity.
And I just think that you have these communities of

(40:41):
people who only ever see people who are like them,
and they just you know, assume that they use their
imaginations right, and they assume that them and all the
people around them have come to the right conclusion about
all these people they've never met before, and they just
go with confidence. And I mean there are community needs
that are changing who you know, Tucker Carlson and Trump

(41:04):
might specifically be talking to when they talk about you know,
they're not seeing this problem, but you guys are. But
the fact, first of all, that you think of it
as a problem is just you know, awful. And also,
you know, there is voting data that suggests that the
people who UH in the two thousand and sixteen election
thought that immigration was the biggest problem, where people who

(41:25):
were least likely to have you know, met and spent
time with immigrants. It really is like sort of the
self sustaining ecosystem. Like I just saw a story this
morning that the Cokes are fighting public transit and like
all these attempts. If you've ever been to Nashville, Nashville
is like the new smaller Los Angeles and that everything
is just gridlocked because all these people move there because

(41:46):
Nashville is a really cool city, and so they're trying
to put in public transit systems to make it less gridlocked,
and the Cokes are fighting that. And public transit is
one of those ways that you come into contact with
people who aren't necessarily exactly like the US with people
you read the subway with people and they're less of
an unknown. The idea of a brown person not nebulous
to you when you are you see somebody like oh hey,

(42:08):
what's yeah, you're not you're not robbing me that, like
Fox told me, you would, right, Like, I strongly believe
that anyone voting against immigration or like asylum should just
spend a day with some of these people here some
stories and just consider their perspectives. I guarantee you every
single one would support immigration. I talked about this a
while back. There was a show from in Australia called

(42:30):
Go Back to Where You Came From, where they grounded
up a bunch of sort of these like xenophobic anti
immigrant people in Australia and said, okay, you're about to
live how they live. And most people, I think first
a lot of people are into now like you're just
trying to get me to feel bad, is what they'd
say at the beginning. And then eventually most people fully
broke and we're like, yeah, okay, I get it, Like

(42:51):
I get why you would get on a boat and
risk your life, in your family's life, because where you're
coming from, you know you have no chance. No the
stories I heard working in the restaurant industry in Los
angele from all my coworkers, like this ship is real,
Like so many people I personally know watched their families
be murdered in front of their eyes and came here
just to try to live. It's not like they're like, uh,
I want to steal the jobs. You're kidding me. Yeah,

(43:14):
It's just again, it's a great distraction for people at
the top to be able to always paint another group
as the actual source of their problems. Not because the
all the wealth is being siphoned up at the top
of this country. It's it's easier to go, oh, you know,
the problems are still these brown people. That's why even
Tucker Carlson says, like they're not paying the cost you
are and what is that cost you even describing? And

(43:36):
see that's where they're they're creating this like this zero
sum game where more immigrants in this country or more
people trying to seek asilam in this country equals less
abundance for everyone else. Let's call spade a spade. They're
they're preserving the cost of having a single brown person
in their community, right. They want everyone to look like them.
They want everyone to eat like them, to shop like them.
They don't want to see like an Ethiopian market in
their neighborhood. That's literally it. Well, yeah, and as he said,

(43:58):
you know, like you know, these people don't want their
ammographics change. No, a lot of these anti immigrant people
don't want their demographics changed. And I just want to
point to a like a few things when there was
a story in the New York Times today where they're
talking about specifically about how immigration is probably gonna be
the new midterm strategy for for the Republicans. And that's
a problem because for House Republicans that are in districts
that are a little more diverse, you're not gonna have

(44:19):
a good chance, uh like the House people in vulnerable
house districts are not gonna have as good a chance
in terms of like the Senate math, which is what
they seem to be prioritizing. That may work and for some,
for some races, it's just not a good strategy. And
there is a quote from one of these Republican strategists
and a former Trump aid when they're like, don't you
think it's a little bit you know, like using this

(44:41):
like sort of xenophobic or immigration fear to like motivate people.
Isn't that a little dangerous or like not the best thing?
And this guy says, quote it's an issue folks are
emotionally attached to. I know that upsets some people in
the donor class, but it's the reality of where the
party is that to me, I'm like, wow, they even
know and they're like, honestly, this is just to keep
this machine moving. It's gonna come down to turn out though,

(45:03):
because I mean Trump's approval currently is at its highest
point in his presidency. So I mean, there are enough
people in America who are psyched about this there, psyched
about what he's doing. I'm sure part of that is
from the North Korean summit where he didn't get literally
a single fucking thing for us. But it's great at

(45:23):
us is that country? Right? But I think, you know,
it's really going to come down to there. There are
people on both sides, and it's really going to be
who is most motivated. And I think this, I think
it's going to have to be the highest turnout in
the history of the mid terms for anything to change. Um.
But I've seen a lot of really smart people say,

(45:46):
you know, you guys are gonna be shocked at how
low turnout is in the mid term, So let's not
let ourselves be shocking. Alright, We're gonna take a quick
break and we'll be right back. And we're back, and uh,

(46:07):
there is news in the hip hop community. Jay Z
and Beyonce dropped a surprise album over the weekend. Yesterday,
as we stopped recording and had like our longest st
episode ever, we realized we didn't talk about this. Shame
on us. Well, that's also because fucking jay Z and
Beyonce still insists that we get fucking title. I'm sorry,

(46:29):
I'm not it ain't happening, not even for you, Beyonce.
I'm sorry, but you know what, thank you for finally
relenting and putting it on the spot. We appreciate it.
And everywhere else they're really trying to make Title happen.
That's they're still sticking with it, and like some of
the lyrics and some of the songs are specifically about

(46:50):
like how they about my stream numbers. I'm like, but
you know what, that's a that's a vibe for Beyonce.
You can say that. So I'm not mad. I'm not
mad at I'm just personally, I'm like, look, if if
you don't put it on Spotify, I'm gonna have down
with this ship illegally. Apeesh. It is a great song
and the video as cool as fuck. Uh. I couldn't
believe it there straight up in the louver, in the louver,

(47:12):
they ran it out the louver. How much do you
think rent out the love millions? For sure? Dude? I
watch they make it admission every day, right and bad
process to be closed. They'd be like, okay, can we
shoot from one am to four am? Maybe they could
have Yeah, I mean like when you rent out of
Superman and that you can just get it for likes,

(47:35):
which is actually more than fifteen dollars. So yeah, it's
probably around that. Oh. Actually, producer Nick Stump is telling
us that ten google how much it cost to rent
out the Loop, and uh, first of all, when I
google how much does it cost to rent out the Loop?
I got an Airbnb response, So like they thought that
I was just looking to rent out the loop. Apparently

(47:56):
this is way more approachable than we thought, because it
is seventeen thousand, five hundred dollars for the day to
rent out the loop for that doesn't make any sense. Okay,
let's get it go fund me? Is that gang here
we go? Have they like not changed their prices since
the Renaissance? Like and welcome to arts? Oh, I mean,

(48:17):
come on with inflation? What it is? Am? I right? Folks? Uh?
But yeah, that that doesn't make any sense. They really
could could probably do a little better than that. Based
on like how it's being worded. It sounds like almost
like the idea that they would just walk you through
the gallery and just kick the regular people out, so
you can yeah that way because I mean, seventeen five,

(48:38):
Like they're probably don't who knows how much they're taking
in ticket revenue, So I'm sure that's just like if
you want the Baller Tour, it's seventeen five. If it's production,
talk to our coordinator. Yeah, it feels just on a
couple of listens, it feels like sort of a Beyonce
album with ad lips by jay Z, Like she she's
a great rapper at this point? Are you still? I

(49:00):
know she's not at all, but like it's also not
what she chose to do before, and now she's just like, yeah,
I'm gonna be fucking great at right. Yeah, She's like
let me just out wrap you on this album. I
would love to see one thing she's bad at, just
one thing. Dama. Yeah, she can't rock the ken Dama,
the Japanese sort of ball and cup thing. Oh yeah,
it's very fine. Motor skills had to reach so far,

(49:24):
of course, because I honestly think if I was like
she couldn't she keep bored. She couldn't, you know, clog
a drain on, clog a drain or like, you know,
fucking add some piping to this sprinkler system. She probably
could do with that. She probably ken Dama. I feel
like shout out to the homio who hit me up
back Kendama. But the one song that's that song, I
think it's called Nice. Yeah, it's like where jay Z

(49:45):
is trying to wrap like these new sort of swag
grabbers where they do like nice, but he over and
I got ice ice ice. It just sounds usually like
migos like, wouldn't pronounce it any It's I was like
an old dude was like, oh let me show you
young man. I was like that, and I'm nice, nice, nice,

(50:07):
like my dad. Right, Yeah, it does sound kind of
like that. I mean, look, ja, he doesn't have to
do anything anymore. Just I mean, well, and he does
barely anything on this album, so I think it's I
think he was like, yeah, did you listen. I've listened
to Yeah, I think I've listened to all the songs,
but okay, I got maybe three quarters of the way through. Uh,
and it just sounded like, yeah, it feels I wonder

(50:30):
if Beyonce it was just kind of like, do you
want to be on the album? He's like, you're just
sitting at home all day, like, do you need do
we need to do something we need to do? Oh?
I'm fine? Okay, Well your hair is all outgrown. I
don't know, you haven't been to the barber in months.
You're looking like a bad version of Childish Game, you know,
the old version What's Really Good with You album? Exactly? Okay,

(50:52):
we'll call it the Carters. How about that? Really? Yeah?
Will you get up? We go to get a haircut,
we'll get to wrap, like mego, yes, I'll even get
I'll even get them to feature. I mean yeah, I honestly,
I feel like nobody's going to be able to be
on a track with Beyonce like that and not just
feel like an afterthought. Maybe like a couple of years ago. Yeah,

(51:14):
of course it could have worked. Yeah and Glide Yeah,
post Lemonade, I don't think it's happening LeMond, especially not
jay z'sade. Sorry, but I'm still not ready for him.
I'm still mad, and I think that is your right,
that is my fucking right as as fans. We can

(51:35):
take our time for giving him. Also, I want to
commend the Carters for basically just sunning the ship out
of Nas. He put an album out on Friday, and man,
Kanye uh And then the next day it's like, oh,
Beyonce and jay Z have an album now. And then
it's like, oh, but if everyone was going to talk

(51:56):
about my album, So you think they were just sitting
on this album, just waiting for, like, to somebody they
disliked enough and they were like, oh, Nas and kind
of and they're like like, we can block out the
sun exactly and you will live in shade eternally. Uh
Igine the live show also like she's out there singing

(52:17):
her ass off, wrapping her as off, dancing her ass off,
and he's just like kind of wrapping sitting like what
is that going to look like? Yeah, with a suit
on with no shirt on underneathing. You can't. You can't
hold the candle to that. Yeah, anyway, I I on
the Run tour worked the first one, like relied pretty
heavily on like visuals. Yeah, yeah, like half of it

(52:38):
is just her visuals are great, but like her dancing
and like set it, costume changes. It's like, I mean,
I'm not saying it did not take a lot to
make it work. Sacrifices on Beyonce's part, but I thought
it was cool and I'm looking forward to seeing the sequel.
Are you going I am, Oh, yeah, I'm going to

(52:59):
We're going together? Romantic never really wow, I got oh, man,
I was joking when I said that you were about
them ships Triple X. Tantasio uh is dead. He was
only twenty. Uh. He was a huge hit with much

(53:22):
younger people. Um also wildly problematic. I'm not sure that
there's a whole lot to say, but it's a hard
one to talk about because on one end, you never like,
this person was murdered. That's it's inherently try and that's
twenty It's just a bad thing and it's and it's

(53:42):
just I was really wrestling with It's not not even
like about the feeling bad about the murder thing of
just how to even address this his work or whatever,
because yeah, he you know, the allegations about him were
like some really awful abuse of ship. Yeah, homophobic, he
beat like a gay inmate up like in prison, bragged
about it and yeah he's uh, it's it's an odd

(54:07):
thing where yeah, he pregnant, girl was but then his
whole sort of populator was sort of based on him
trying to show his potential for growth after this and
and I and obviously I believe in any person's capacity
for growth, but it was just an odd thing to
see a lot of young people sort of overlook like
what these allegations are from, from people who were victims

(54:29):
of him of his and just be like, well, no,
he's not doing that anymore. And I get And even
if he wasn't, I get that. It's just you know
a lot of people were you know, there have been
takes on the Internet where people are just like, yeah,
funk that funk this guy or whatever, and other people
are like, this is so tragic. I think Jadenna posted
something that was sort of just like, you know, if
Malcolm X had died at twenty he would have died

(54:49):
like a robber, abuser, drug addict or whatever. And he's
saying not to compare him to Malcolm X in any way,
but you know, the story can never be fully written
at that age if or murdered with twenty and I
mean he also there's reason to believe that he didn't
really have a chance because I mean, like one of
his first crimes was stabbing someone when he was six,

(55:11):
so like he was he did not come from the
drug place. Uh. And you know, I also just feel
like we need to talk about it because we you know,
talk about the zeitgeist on this show. And if you
look at the top songs on Apple right now, Uh,
he has four of the top five and you know
the Carter's the Ape shit is like number two, but

(55:31):
he has the other top five. So like there is
a lot of you know, feeling out there for this
dude's music. I don't know that because like I I
agree with that you guys are saying, but also I'm like,
imagine how you must feel if you were one of
his victims and this is happening. Yeah, you know what
I mean, Like I don't I don't understand this. Martyring
if people once they're dead again, it's it's tragic that
he was murdered at twenty. That's two with anybody. But like,

(55:54):
I didn't really see people going out like this when
like bin Laden was killed, you know what I mean,
Like like someone's death doesn't inherently like forgive what they did. Agree, No, Yeah,
And I think the broader conversation around his death is
just sort of inherent. I don't know, like how younger
people are even viewing an artist's work based on their
art form. People my age, I think whenever the first

(56:15):
time we heard of this artist, I was like, I
can't believe this is like young kids are letting this
guy rock right like and supporting this and just sort
of you know, I guess younger people are much more
They get much more invested, much quicker in the sort
of cultural personality around an artist or a certain celebrity.
It's like YouTube, Yeah, I mean, it's the same thing
that happens with like a lot of Kanye fans who

(56:36):
came up with even the craziest conspiracy theories to try
and explain his weird comments and ship like that. Where yeah,
like it's I guess some people when you connect to something.
It's very hard to acknowledge that there's a lot of
darkness around this artist. I just, uh, yeah, I just
don't ever like anybody that much. Everybody's terrible. I wouldn't
be only mix Mr Rogers boom curiously, that is it.

(56:57):
Rogers is the one guy. It was just like, I'm
the Mr. Rodgers face tattoo after this right in them
on my cheek. I would not be surprised if, like
this generation coming up right now, if there isn't like
a huge counter to like hours of being like so
socially aware and empathetic that they're like, actually, fuck that,
I don't care what you did. I don't I don't
ever want to hear the word problematic again. Feminism can

(57:19):
suck my dick, Like I would not be surprised if
that is kind of the thought of a lot of
young kids right now. Yeah, I think it's yeah, I
hope not. I mean, like most polling shows that like
as the younger and younger, you go down the like
sort of spectrum in terms of like eighteen just voting
age people, they're very much more empathetic and about progress

(57:40):
than and I mean, I think there is backlash but
even within you know, your generation, our generation, there's like
young people who are you know, all right all that ship.
So it's person a person maybe I hope not, but yeah,
Like when you look back over time, you know, the
n twenties, the KKK had this huge come back where

(58:00):
they were almost a legitimate political party and they brought
back all those Confederate statues and all that ship. But
then they just died off like by the nineteen thirties,
and people like came to their senses. So even if
there are these you know, outcroppings of counting, you know,
I could see the appeal to if you're younger too,

(58:21):
that you could look at somebody and I'm not defending
him or anything like that, but if you're very myopically
viewing him as someone who did bad things and can
be better now and you only take that that that's
a message that some young person would like at a
certain point to you also have to, you know, come
to grips with these allegations against him, and have you

(58:42):
seen that pictures of their girlfriend? Like that's I don't know,
that's hard. That's harder for me to swallow than like,
but it bangs though, Yeah, exactly, like can mean some
problematic shipped to you know, we were It's not surprising,
right that we're like so quick to forgive ship if
we like that music is the weirdest thing man. Like
you look at how long people rock with R Kelly

(59:04):
and it's yeah still and like even when Spotify was
like no, and like there was backlash where they're like, oh, sorry,
I guess we shouldn't be suppressing his music in our algorithms.
Like all right, let's move on to this episode. Do
you think is that this is this is part one? Uh?

(59:27):
But we do want to check him real quick with
World Cup. Oh the World Cup day, get your vapes out,
get your vapes out, put your son of Shades on? Okay, well,
World Cup date from miles pretty straightforward stuff. England played
Tunisia yesterday. We weren't able to talk about that because
that match was happening as we were recording, and England

(59:51):
pulled off the wind. Uh and honestly, they look really good.
I was really surprised by this England team. Uh. Normally
they underperforming the World Cup to say the least, but
this group of young guys, my goodness, they looked great.
Uh special shout outs to I mean Jesse Lingard I.
As much as it pains me to say this, he
played really well, as did the rest of some of

(01:00:13):
the Spurs players from Tottenham anyway, But yes, England looks
really good. Um. But I was reading some like rumors
on Twitter that like a lot of the national team
they're like avoiding Russian hotel food because they're very worried
about poisoning. So yeah, not like death poisoning, but just
like give you the ship's poisoning, so like Jordan plue
game poisoning exactly, or the Arsenal Lasagna chef, which is
a whole other thing. But yes, so they've been avoiding

(01:00:36):
Russon hotel food, like their nutritionists are making all their
meals and they're like they don't want touch the mini bar.
But again that's a rumor. We'll see what that means. Uh.
The other thing I want to bring up was Japan,
because yes, this morning we played Colombia and last World
Cup Colombia knocked us out of the tournament and Thomas
Rodriguez scored one of the goals of the tournament, like

(01:00:58):
a solo goal that made the he's look foolish. But
you know, what. We came back today strong. We were focused. Uh.
Also Columbia helped us out because one of their players
got sent off like in the first five minutes for
just blocking the ball with his hand as the shot
was going towards the goal. So yeah, I can't really
do that, my guy. You're not supposed to do that

(01:01:19):
unless you're the goalkeeper. Nor Yeah, well a lot of
players do this thing where they're just sort of flaeling
but just to kind of make themselves bigger, but you know,
their arm comes out. It wasn't like as like Blatant
is like almost slopping with my hand. He's like I'm
gonna extend my arm and hey, maybe it'll hit I
don't know, maybe the ref might see it or whatever.
But now that we are in a tournament where there

(01:01:40):
is a video replay, I mean not that that call
needed that, but like, it's going to be much harder.
They're finding much it's much harder to deceive the referee.
So they played the whole game down a man, down
a man, and the commentary on Fox was interesting. They
were basically like didn't want to Pando win because they're like,
you know, some teams actually played better with ten men,
so this could be good for why would they not.

(01:02:02):
I think there's probably more Colombian viewers. So the commentary
staff was just sort of more like leaning into just
sort of being more proclamb It wasn't like that blatant
because they were they were given their props when it
was due. But then like every now and then, stuff
would pop up where they're like, you know, the Japan
really wasted their goal, they're not really doing much with
it right now, blah blah bla, like Okay, well look
the score, Poppy, it's to one baby. Um, Russia looks

(01:02:26):
like it's going to win again. They're they're up three
one on Egypt. So they've played Egypt and Saudi Arabia?
Are they do they have? Who's in their group? Egypt,
Saudi Arabia and Uruguay. Wow what a draw for Russia. Yeah,
nice group that they drew into. Wait we make sure yeah,

(01:02:46):
yeah that's yeah, that's their group. So I mean with
this Russia now they won both their games, they've got
six points. Uh yeah, so when they played, uh, they
think they're gonna be playing Uruguay on Monday, So what
do we think the chances are that this is not
corrupt in some way. I don't know, man, we want
to know these stories until later on. But I'm the
documentary comes out when a five years from now, right, Like,
what could you matter? World fucking Russia WI just wins

(01:03:08):
the World Cup and they're like when Neymar's legs blew
off at a hotel. Like, turns out that wasn't normal
and it wasn't just uh yeah, it wasn't Nike's fault
for designing a weird shoe. Alright, that is gonna do
it for today. Mel It has been a pleasure having
