Well gnarly uh and his wife for working up on
this hot in her also very fire. Guys, should we
just explain very quickly why these ads are showing up
on the show because people think we are getting rich
off of them. That's right, motherfucker, sweet sweet first snooze

(02:00):
money guy right before Hannity. No, we have. The way
the podcasting industry works is their ads that just get
filled in when there are spaces and sometimes inventory. Yes,
is with the phrase for it. Unfortunately, we tell the
powers that be that there are certain do not advertise
on our show because we that does not align. Therefore,

(02:22):
like the coke industries had that played or this last
one for Bernie Sanders town Hall on Fox News, and
I don't know if the people thought that because it
was a candidate that wasn't Fox Newsy on Fox News
that it was okay, but is not. And trust me,
this is a struggle we were going through constantly, so
fear not, we don't take money from them. Well, we're
thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the

(02:43):
hilarious comedian Brandy Posy. Hello everybody, Brandy, Um, not too much.
I'm still dealing with your song intros. They were really amazing.
It's amazing coming here every couple of months and then
seeing how your production value it goes up and up
and up. I mean the listeners don't know that they
have full costumes and glitter. A band aid under my

(03:06):
left eye. Yeah, there's like one Union team stir in
the corner that's working a light rig. Any you tried
to plug in your iPhone Union and don't touch you lectric?
All right, Sorry you plug in my charger. I'm so sorry, Frank,
I apologize. Brandy's rocking a dope Simpsons T shirt. Yeah, Simpsons,
Mighty money, Boston's crossover. Sure. Yeah, you want to know

(03:28):
what you right was born in and this is the
I should have done the sky one in honor of you,
because yeah I should. I should work a message to you,
Rudy around. I love that song anyway, I had such
a great song, great song. What we're going to get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're gonna tell our listeners just a couple of things

(03:48):
we're talking about. We're gonna talk about the lion Can remake.
We're going to talk about Game of Thrones. We're going
to talk about Trump v. Mueller report v Border crisis,
just all the distraction and like the main political news
story that's flying around, uh, seems to be a real
game of chess going on. We're going to talk about

(04:10):
how the Democratic leadership is responding to attacks on representative
of Ilahan Omar. We're going to talk about the man
who is suing his parents or for throwing out amazing collection,
an amazing collection. But first, Brandy, we like task our guess,
what is something from your search history that is revealing

(04:32):
about who you are? Um? I didn't want to admit this,
but the last thing that I googled was Britney Spears
birth chart. Okay, because I was talking to the friend
of mine yesterday who's a phone psychic, and um, we're
talking about there's a lot of drama with where Brittany
is right now, and she was asking like where she was, like, oh,
what's her sign and stuff? So I was googling your

(04:53):
birth chart, and um, would you guys find out she's
a sagittarius with various own And I don't know what
that means, but I do know that that is the case. Yeah,
I was like, I think it's a ruse. She isn't

(05:13):
being held against her willow. She's not possibly maniacal legal conservatorship.
But I don't know who knows. That's fine. Um, you
know it's a full moon next week. Maybe let's all
just burn a candle for Brittany and get her out
of there. Yea, what is something you think is overrated? Okay,
so I did a Game of Thrones version and then
I did a regular version. Yeah it's appropriate. My overrated underrated,

(05:37):
overrated KLISSI underrated sansa Game of Thrones hot take, and
my non Game of Thrones overrated underrated are overrated timeshares,
underrated timeshare presentation. Oh ship very quickly? Why I get
I guess let's just go through this. Tell me why
you feel Denius is overrated? Um, I don't know that.

(06:00):
I believe that she has like earned the ship yet,
you know, like she she's sucked up all the cities
that she's been in charge of and then like, I
don't know, she's just very entitled in a way right
now that I'm like, all right, I know you've been
through some stuff, has also been through some stuff, and like,
but you just the way that she's just like everybody
should deal before me because of my daddy, just like
I don't. I don't trust it, right, I don't trust it.

(06:22):
I mean maybe giving birth to dragons also a reason
to kneel before her, But who else has tried to
give birth to dragons? Right there? Other people just are
trying hard not she give birth to them though? Or
were they? Like was she just in that fire with
the rocks and then came out with the dragon's Like
she actually gave physical birth to the dragons? Right? Where
were those eggs? There were the eggs right? And then

(06:43):
she just but she I guess it might be a metaphor.
Of course, I'm thinking, I'm like, well, hold on out
of her body, but she's very intense. Only eggs, but
a walk around for a couple of weeks let them cook,

(07:04):
very uncomfortable. I get the songs apart too. Yeah, I
think people got to keep their eye on her without
spoiling things. As I know, it's sell people. Probably, spoiler
is a spoiler if I say my theory of what's
going to happen to Denarius? How about this if you
if you don't even want to hear a theory or
you're afraid do the thirty do actually be safe? If
I had one minute, Jack will say the thing and

(07:24):
we won't even give commentary. Go Jack now, spoiler all right,
not a spoiler, just a very denarious. I think it's
gonna get killed by her own dragons matricide. Yeah, because
John now might be so if they like go at it. Yeah,
the dragons, you know, they might recognize you know, yeah,

(07:45):
the true king is. Have you guys seen the YouTube
conspiracy theory? But Game of Thrones that little Finger is
still alive? Yeah, I know. I just it makes nothing
if that's the case that I'm going to be mad
at the writer's right for being like, oh the guy anyway,
I know, I know, I'm just gonna ask. They're very
like mission impossible. It's just like like nothing is real

(08:08):
funk off. I know. I just he's such a good
villain and I miss him writing. I guess I won't
say it because I do like Mission impossible. I'll say
Charlie's Angels. It's Charlie's Angels to style. Alright, let's talk
about time shares, okay, because I have one that I
want to tell you guys about. Okay, great, it's in Mexico.
I want to introduce you to Wyndham Family Resorts. Yeah,

(08:30):
go on, So you said overrated time shares. Yes, they're awful.
Time shares are basic and it's basically just like a
lazy river full of racists, is what I think of
time shares. Every time you go to one, you're like, oh,
I don't want to talk to anybody here. This is awful.
Our parents all, I mean parents just there for parents.
They're a lot for millennials because they also know that

(08:51):
like we don't have I'm sure money or do we
want it, or that easy for us to split ways
with our money, Like yeah, exact. But I do love
timeshup presentations because my favorite thing in the world is
saying no to a man in a suit. So I like,
my dad has one in Florida, and every time I'm there,
they're like, if you come down for an hour, we'll

(09:12):
give you a hundred dollars cash. And I'm always like
all right, Yeah, the last time I went to one,
because the way they do it, there's always like the
one the salesman tries to be your buddy, and then
there's like the bad cop that comes in and that guy.
The last time I went to one and he came in,
he was like, question, are you a salesperson? Because I've
been watching your table and you've been in control the

(09:32):
entire two and I was like, I was like, well,
I deal in dick jokes, sir, and I just didn't
know what to say because somebody had just said dick
jokes to him and he was like, what happens now, handbook? Yeah.
That was like the third thing on the like branching

(09:53):
chart of like what to do is to suggest the
persons in sales. Are you in sales? Like appeal to
their ego type thing, I love you? Oh no actually,
and then turn you get my god. Yeah, I just
love I think it's a predatory industry. So I love waste.
I love wasting their time, um and I love just

(10:14):
going They just they rile me up in a way.
It's my way of being Robinhood because I don't have
any money and I don't want to rob anybody, but
I will take a time short slot away from a
poor old couple that might be you're like absorbing your
like taking arrows for the others by taking all of
this person, and you get like free trips out of it.
If you just say no long enough, I'll keep like
throwing prizes at you. And really it's yeah, man, I've

(10:36):
done one of those where I just like went because
they said free jet ski riding, and I don't recommend
it because it's a waste of an entire Here's what
you do. You ask how long does this need to be,
and they're usually like ninety minutes. So what I do
is I will set my time around my phone and
then just put it on the table we're at. Yeah, dude,

(10:58):
time to go. Very fun for me, but those rooms
are crazy because just amount of pressure. It definitely feels
like a hyper speed like cult recruiting thing, like bring
you in your on the premises you can't get off that.
You feel like you like lose all bearings on where
you are. And then like any time they make a sale,

(11:18):
they like ring a bell and everybody drinks champagne and
it's just jams constantly. It's a good time to plug
my episode of Behind the Bastards when we talked about
Trump University, because it's essentially set up you just get
in your your high pressure closers to get people to
give up their money for a thing that isn't really
that great. Yeah. Absolutely. They even start off with it

(11:40):
like congratulations, right, because you've actually just started something for
your family that generations to come will be so grateful for. Yeah,
it's it's looking lake capitalism directly in the eye and
saying fuck you. It feels good. Yeah, I would be great,
just like you say, way us their time act like

(12:01):
real fucking mark And what do I now? What would
happen if I paid more? Well, let me tell you
that that's our diamond package. Okay, this is very exciting.
Allow me to call my accountant right now and then
just come back and then just be like I'm sorry, no,
oh he told me, you guys are a fucking scam
some bullshit. I called my accountant Brandy, and she said,

(12:25):
you guys are full of ship. They're like Brandy Brandy,
the one who denied being in sales, the name that
must not be mentioned. Finally, what is a myth? What's
something I a myth is that if you know how
like they are like, oh, if your windows are rolled down,
you're you're using as much gas as if you're using
air conditioning in your car. Yeah, it's wrong. Wait, what's

(12:47):
the myth that The myth is that you, like, the
drag of the windows being down, waste as much of
your gas as the air conditioning in your car. Oh
so they're using an aero dynamicism argument. Yeah, and that's
not true aerodynamics. Yeah, like dynamism, aero dynamism, aero dynamism.
That's how a scientologist would pronounce it, sound of aerodynamism.

(13:10):
Tom Cruise in the house noticed the way his haircut
actually helps for zerodynamism. Oh, how do you know this
to be true? I googled it? Now, what is this Google?
It's a corporate entity taking over the world, but sometimes
it has something keeping Chinese people oppressed. Maybe I don't
know the people who work at Google and what they're saying.

(13:32):
So that's just big air conditioning. It's big, all right,
it's big. It's big. Yeah, exactly. So they're trying to
say that because of that, you should not use your
a C. Well, the myth has always been like, oh,
that they equal the same thing because the drag of
the car. But whatever. But if your windows down, they
did tests were up to even like everything up to
like eighty miles an hour. It doesn't affect like how

(13:54):
much gas your car goes through, but your air conditioning
takes off one to four miles per gallon um while
you're blasting your acy in your car windows down, bait,
what about windows down? A blasting that's called baller mode. Yeah,
wellers got a boomer in the house, ballowed out of control.
Do you want a time share? Because that's time Sometimes

(14:16):
he just pulls up to pulls a chair out, so
you look like somebody who goes eighty on the highway
with on and the windows. Hey man, game recognized games.
I got right there. Alright, guys, let's get into the
stories of the day. Off top, sort of a sad story.
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is on fire as we

(14:41):
are talking right now. The Internet is reacting some fucking
crazy footage, so it's everywhere. Everybody's freaking out. White nationalists
are saying it's the end of Europe. Yeah, the end
of the West, the end of the West. Beginning that
narrative of using like the symbol of a cathedral burning
down and without knowing what the causes. Again, we as

(15:02):
we don't know when we record we record this, we
just know it is burning down. Yeah, but it's easy
for people to be like, oh, that's a good uh,
a little bit of red meat for my narrative. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And then YouTube is suggesting anybody who's looking at videos
of the cathedral burning, YouTube is suggesting you might also

(15:22):
enjoy these nine eleven videos. I guess algorithms are so literal,
like building fire, all two things near each other, fire
equals Yeah, we do think they got everybody out except
for the gargoyles. Yeah we're Yeah, one hunchback on the top.
I don't know. Yeah, you already know. There's gonna be

(15:45):
a flood of inappropriate hunchback and notre dame memes this happening,
maybe as Morelda, who's who knows more memes for Morelda,
though she's like an underrated uh part of the Disney uber.
I think because that movie is so dark that I
don't think a lot of people are like, it's not
a Disney movie, but it's one of the better ones.

(16:05):
Who did her voices that Kathin's Data Jones. I think
it was. Yeah. The bad guy in that movie is
real creepy. It's like a bishop that's like got a
real big crush on her. Oh yeah, yeah, it's real.
It's real crazy, is it? Oh salmaha? Maybe maybe either way.
I like that movie because it is probably the most

(16:25):
radical statement of Disney's overall narrative of no Hugoes, because
even though it stars the hunchback of Notre Dame, uh,
he does not get the girl. He's like, I'm in
love with you, but obviously I'm ugly, so you go
with this other handsome la I'm unlovable. I wouldn't transmit
that to children. Um, sit here and just funk my gargoyles.

(16:49):
The President helpfully tweeted that they should have air tankers
dropping water on the I think he said flying tankers
or something. Yeah, and just get it, just get it,
very way, very helpful. And yeah, I don't know. It's
like in terms of cultural legacy, it was. It's been
around since twelve sixty, which is a number that doesn't

(17:11):
even sound like a year. Uh, and it took them
a hundred years to complete, so uh, it was like
an s a t score that got me kicked out
of the house. I want to hear that. Guys. Let's
talk about The Lion King, which I had nothing but
positive feelings about, following you know, a couple of trailers

(17:32):
and not thinking about it whatsoever. But the Lion King remake,
I think it's coming out in July, generally positive vibes
on the Internet, and the only problem with it that
I've seen other than that it appears to be just
a shot for shot remake and so there's very little
creativity going on, is that they're not paying any of

(17:55):
the original artists like behind the story boarding of the
first Lion King or the writers behind that, which is
pretty crazy. So apparently the way that the w g
A set up the writing like contracts the Writing Guild,
they didn't invite the Animation Guild to the original meeting

(18:16):
in two or something, and so they just never included
animation all the stuff that you would normally use to
protect writers. And so like the people who wrote the
original Lion King and storyboarded out and are now responsible
for like literally the shot construction of this new movie

(18:37):
that is going to make probably a billion dollars worldwide,
are not getting anything, and the amount of money that
they got at the time is actually shockingly low. There's
a woman named Linda Wolverton who was one of the
listed screenwriters on the original film. She was paid thirty
five thousand dollars to for her role right the original

(19:00):
Lion King, and it took her four years. That's eight thousand,
seven fifty dollars a year. Uh. And then when the
movie did so well that like Disney felt bad, they
gave her a bonus of a hundred thousand dollars, which
brings the grand total to thirty three thousand, seven d
fifty dollars a year for writing a piece of like

(19:24):
cultural just gold. So that's her writing the actual script,
not the story where the act she was involved with
writing the screenplay. What ye okay, I mean that sounds
but that's also very That sounds like Disney though in general,
like they're notorious for underpaying people and not spending money

(19:46):
in places that they should m But that's especially for
a thing right now to like with the w g
A like going to war with the agents. Yeah, so
let's explain briefly, like what is going on with the writers.
So the thing that I've heard is that Hollywood writers,
people in the Writer's Guild are firing their agents. What

(20:06):
does that even mean, Well, because they're trying to change
in agreement that the agents have with the writers Guild.
But essentially it's all boiling down to the practice of
packaging deals where you know, before it used to be
I'm an agent and I represent Jack O'Brien, the writer.
I want to do a deal with you. Universal you
want the screenplay this, let's negotiate, And it just used
to be there was there was little room for conflict

(20:29):
of interest because your agent was just negotiating on your
behalf and the little sliver that the agent gets they
get from that deal, and that is how they make
their money, right, And then packaging came into it where
the talent agencies essentially became production companies where they're like, Hi,
I rep directors, I got the script, I got the actors.
Hi X Studio, this is the deal I can get
you all these people. Boom, it's a lot, it's a go.

(20:50):
But now I have these packaging fees I'm charging, which
I'm also negotiating. So first they're negotiating a deal on
behalf of their clients. But then they're also negotiating their
own fees as an agency, like that's their other way
to leverage all their cat a list talent to get
more money for themselves. Yes, they're usually making I think
it's upwards of like a three percent of the actual
the entire budget of a show or a movie goes

(21:13):
just to the agency, and then they're getting their teen
percent per deal. So they're not working as hard to
make your deal as good as lucrative as it can be.
So it's the it's the writers versus their own agents essentially. Yeah, okay,
there are instances where the agent can waive their ten
percent fee, but they're going to recoup that in the
packaging fee, which is taking a bite of the of

(21:34):
the sources of money that could be going to the
writer's So regardless of how they you know, they can
say like, oh well look, yeah, forget my teen percent
because they're going to make more anyway, and they can
make money on the back end also, So it's basically
become just this conflict of interest thing. They're saying, you're
not actually advocating for us as your clients if you
do not agree to like fundamentally changing this business practice

(21:57):
we're going to tell everyone in the guild to fire
their agent, and we're just going to figure out how
to do this without y'all. Right, And that's what happened
Friday night. They got the or they got to notice
like send up fire go fire agents and doing it
on their own. So agencies are gonna come calling to
people who create I P that are not in the

(22:17):
writer's guilt and be like, hey, yeahys can just like
make something up for us right when it comes scab
for us? Yeah, I mean that's where it will be.
No no, no, no, no gas. It's like a wound
that's like slowly crushed over and become dryer and dryer
on the top, come crust over our wounds. But I mean,
really like the thing that I think fans are into,

(22:40):
it's not the writer's work. It's the work of the
agents packaging those deals. I mean, I know my favorite agents,
Like I have an autour theory of agencies. I'm personally
a fan of CIA movies. But you know, so we'll see,
we'll see where that when you look get just sort
of how even if you know nothing about the situation

(23:02):
and you were just reading the rhetoric being used by
both sides. The agents come off as the corporate overlords
who are like, I mean, even if we do this,
doesn't mean their pay is going to go up. It's
actually gonna harm a lot of other people. And it's like, oh,
I hear this kind of talk all the time when
people are advocating for like a more equitable situation. Yes,
it's all union busting bush. Yeah. So we'll keep an

(23:25):
eye on that because it'll be interesting to see how
it goes, because it's gonna have shock waves like not
just in this country, but other countries dealing with like
people who are trying to write things from abroad to
bring here. Um. But it'll be it sem you know,
the the agents, the A T A. They're like, you know,
we will fight this thing that could lead to the
abysmal death of the industry or something. You know. It's

(23:45):
just all ye, good luck with that. Yeah, yeah, good.
I'm glad. I'm glad the vultures that work their way
into power are throwing a hissy fit because the actual
creatives in this town we're like, hey, can you please.
You know the only reason you have any money is
because of my creativity. You're exploiting for your own good. Yeah,
you're a coward vulture and take whatever scraps I choose

(24:06):
to give you because you don't even deserve to be
right in the first I mean one thing, rep there
you go. I mean, now, I mean who gets you
can't get repped? I will. It does feel good to
not have an agent with all of us going down
and be like, well that's one confrontation I don't yeah. Yeah,
And what's the thing that would be interesting to me
is just to hour this evolves. I mean, maybe they'll

(24:28):
I'd imagine they're going to figure some kind of agreement
on pretty quickly. But I mean, like the writer the
writers strike in the late eighties early nineties that gave
way to reality TV. Yeah you know what I mean,
Like that's when cops came out because they're like, well
we don't have anything to write some content, okay, so
make cops. Yeah, so it knows what kind of next level,
you know, tricker, you'll think of this time. The big
problem too, is that I think three of the four

(24:49):
main agencies to like, they have shareholders who like they're
holding to right, so it's like you're you're making sure
that their money is going up and up every year,
so it's like that that is the priority, not you.
It's almost like the whole system it's fucked. Yeah yeah,
yeah yeah. Um. Well, anyways, there's a lot of complicated
ship that we have to keep our eye on with

(25:12):
the w g A. But the Disney lan King thing
is pretty fucking for their amazing work on a seminal film,
make like Notre Dame and burn it to the ground. Whoa,
uh too soon? Nah, all right, we're gonna take a

(25:32):
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. And
so this is a couple of big things happening this week,
one of which is that the redacted Mueller Report will

(25:53):
supposedly be released on Thursday. A lot of people in
the belt Way as we call them, I don't know,
I've never said that before, but I've I've definitely heard
people like Jake Tapper say that something. But yeah, what's
that I'm being informed Actually that I even misused that. Sir.

(26:14):
Producer Nick Stump, who is from in the belt Way,
uh says that it's actually inside the belt Way. And
by saying in the belt Way, I'm actually suggesting that
people are doing business on a highway. I prefer suspenders. Yes,
good one, a real whimsical little joke before we get

(26:35):
into um. But anyways, that people are a buzz about
once again what the Muller report might contain other than
what Attorney General bar told us in his very brief conclusions. Uh.
And the other big news story that seems somewhat less

(26:56):
substantive is Trump is planning to tried to bust undocumented
immigrants from places where they're being held by the Trump
administration and the Ice and ship to other cities to
uh what sanctuary cities. Well, yeah, it started off as
just kind of a report of like that leaked that

(27:18):
oh Trump was floating this idea of doing it, and
then it was Trump said in one meeting, right, and
then Monday was like being like, I'm thinking about it.
I'll take them to sanctuary cities or states. Don't mess
with me, which again on its face is so transparently
partisan and cynical that his whole idea is I've created

(27:39):
a humanitarian crisis on my own at the border. The
people who are pointing this out to me and pointing
out the inhumane treatment of these people who are holding
me accountable, that we'll guess what I'm going to clap
back by then just dropping off these detained immigrants to
these sanctuary cities as a ha ha deal with that now,

(28:02):
ye when most people from like most mayors of these
cities are like, please do bring them because the way
you're the way you're treating them is fucked up. Yeah,
like then okay, come through. But again, it's just one
of those things where it's so first of all, he
doesn't even have the legal authority to do this, but
this is something we say, I'm pretty sure every fucking
week when this administration like is going on. It's got

(28:25):
a spineless Congress that won't put him in this place.
So that's fine, yeah no, and essentially that here no, yeah,
but it's but that's that's sort of what's going on.
And when you look at even again, the Daily Beasts
just pointed out there's a like a weird stealth detention
tent city they the Border Patrol set up at one
of their stations near El Paso, where they're almost like

(28:46):
concentrating this population and people to a camp like environment,
but like it's like using just there. It's in a
space where they were trying to keep the media away
and the Daily beasts got photos of it using a
telephoto lens from like a quarter mile away and showing like,
oh yeah, you guys just set up this little camp
right there and there, so clearly like this whole border

(29:07):
crisis thing. Uh. And even him talking about moving migrants
to sanctuary cities obviously consumed a lot of the news
cycle because people are like, this is absurd. But again
then you have more reports coming out that this was
part of a plan to distract because the Mother Report,
the impending release, is also something Trump is trying to
take as much steam out of because I mean, I

(29:28):
don't know. I thought he was fully exonerated, totally fully
completely exonerated, but I guess not. So again, you know,
just keep keep your eye on that, because it's very
clear that he has a very cynical tactic of just
using the border or whatever creating some controversy to always
sort of hey, look over here, look over here, when
potentially even the redacted version of the Muther Report could

(29:52):
put out some things that could be damaging. But again,
we just don't know what's in them. Report. Just a thought.
We you know, one thing, one thing that we do
now know is that there will be so much redactive
material that they are actually color coding the redactions because
you can't just have black redactions. You have to have
different colors of redactions to let people know which of

(30:16):
the like thirty reasons they're giving this is the Russia,
this is the tape they've had to I mean, William
Barr has come out to say, like it's four categories,
right that that are gonna that redactions will fall under.
So that'll be grand jury material, information tied to ongoing
prosecutorial cases, matters of sensitive intelligence, and personal information gathered

(30:41):
about people deemed peripheral to the investigation. Right. But we'll
see how you know how elastic those definitions are in
terms of being able to just black out just entire
chunks of this thing. On its surface, the whole uh,
taking immigrants to sanctuary cities seemed like an idea that

(31:03):
like would appeal to Trump's base, like on its surface,
just like ha ha, we'll show them by taking it, yeah,
on the lips. But when you go and look at
like Drudge or Fox News, you can't find anything about
this story. And I think it's because of the reason
you explained that you know, mayors of sanctuary cities like, please,

(31:26):
we will. We want to treat them better than you
are treating them. Um, people who are on the right
are like, that's a bad idea because then way more
of them will be able to stay and we want
to kick them back to their country. And then even
experts on immigrations say that it wouldn't do anything because
immigrants don't just stay in the town they arrived in.
It's not like the seventeen hundreds. They have plans and

(31:48):
people who are there to pick them up and you know,
take them to whatever town they're planning on going to.
The undocumented immigrant population is like way bigger in l A.
Than San Diego, and apparently six and ten undocumented immigrants
live in one of twenty cities in San Diego is
the only border town in that top twenty, like New

(32:09):
York is the biggest, which you'll notice does not share
a border with Mexico. In Chicago and d C. And Houston, Seattle,
San Francisco, like all these towns that are nowhere near
a border are um apparently like where the undocumented immigrants

(32:29):
end up. And it's like it's just it seems like
one of those things that like I think I I
legitimately believe Trump heard that urban legend about I think
it was Giuliani like bust all the homeless people from
New York to l A. And that's how he like
cleaned up New York City. And yeah, he was just like, okay, well,

(32:50):
well we'll just do that. Well, he also can't imagine
somebody being doing like a selfless choice to be like, yes,
we'll just treat them better. That's not that's not a
thought that he can have. No, so he just he's like, well, no,
you would also see them as a burden in a nuisance, right,
like take that and it's like, no, we want to
take care of people, like, no, you're fucked up. Actually
will help them? Yeah yeah, it's like, oh what, it's

(33:13):
not part of my my mental calculus. Well yeah, and
who knows if that's also just bad advice from Stephen
Miller to who's also in his ear conscience, like you
send them to the speaking parceltone. Let's talk about ilhan
Omar and Trump's racist attacks on her. Tweeted a video

(33:35):
juxtaposing her remarks at a conference with footage from nine
eleven and you know, and in case you help connecting
her with terrorism. There you go, Yeah, just right there.
And since that tweet, she has received an uptick in
death threats, which she was already receiving a lot of. Yeah,

(33:56):
that's just from zero on the Yeah. And we're not
hearing much of anything from Democrats or at least you know,
the Democratic leadership, official leadership Congress. Yeah, Chuck Schumer, Crickets,
Stanny Horyer. I have not really heard anything from him.
Nancy Pelosi had a vague using nine eleven. Not she's saying, oh,

(34:19):
we got to talk about nine eleven with respect, not
to not for political attacks. He chided her in the
beginning of it, exactly, and it's really she later on,
I guess, tried to become out more indefense of her,
but more just saying like, I'm taking her safety seriously
well and even like and when you look at some
of the people who were even running for president, there

(34:40):
was a mix of people who could outright say ilhan
Omar's name and defend her and people who were just like,
I'm just gonna say a vague pleasantry, like Pete Buddha.
Judge had an interesting thread which I was like, oh,
maybe this is will lead with him then naming ilhan Omar,
but it was vague. And then twenty minutes after one
of the last set in that thread, he then tweeted

(35:01):
again to attach her name to the thread, because I
think people blew up his mentions and we're like, Hi,
are you serious about this? You seem like the kind
of progressive who would unequivocally just be like, what is
happening to ilana Omar is unacceptable? Rather than the other
the other points he was making. Betto Dad, it was
like a zoomed out photo of a defense. It was

(35:23):
so vague you couldn't find the right thing to stand on. Um.
Elizabeth Warren had a good she said this congresswoman didn't
have to use her name, but it was a little
more specific. Bernie straight up used her name. Does not
give a funk about what you think that that continues
to and be true, right, And I think, but that's
what that's where you can kind of see what how

(35:43):
leadership is even looking at are people who are worried
about being as centrist as possible as looking at ilhan
Omar is some kind of third rail Rather than saying
nothing she is doing, Okay, I understand there were some
she she could have chose words a little bit better
in certain situations, but to paint those remarks is anti
semitic is completely disingenuous and total bullshit. So I think

(36:05):
what the leaders aren't willing to do is to say, like, look,
this person is making a standing for what they believe in.
I may not agree with that. You can say that,
but you cannot go and then attack this person or
try and make her somehow connected to nine eleven and
ramp up the danger she's in. Someone from Trump's camp, um,
I forget, someone who I think is working on the

(36:26):
campaign said, you know, her remarks are just putting her
in danger. That's how. That's how someone from the Trump
world is trying to spend this whole thing, rather than
we're not slowly, very quickly ramping up this rhetoric, and
who knows what kind of reaction is going to come
out of the people, because we already saw people like
to send bombs and already shoot people. So what do

(36:49):
how do they think this ends if they don't actually
get a hold of it or take it seriously that
this isn't this is this is not serviceable rhetoric in
any way. No, this is a person's life. Yeah. The
one place that Pelosi was like very specific was in
stepping up the security around her. So it's like, hey, look,
I'm not gonna like politically get involved, but we don't

(37:09):
want her to die, I will say that specifically, So
we're gonna like protect her physically from being attacked. And
it just shows you all the things that are brewing
underneath in this country, especially when you look at the Democrats.
That's where you know the leadership ain't ship because you
have an outspoken woman of color Jabi, who is just
talking the truth. Or sure she might be a little spicy,

(37:29):
but she's not really coming with something that's like so
inflammatory and indefensible kind of a reason to be a
little spicy, right exactly. And then and then they want
to act like it doesn't matter. That's what's really disconcerting
about this is that, look, America is getting browner by
the minute or less white, and there are more people
who are becoming more aware of the political situation in

(37:53):
this country and how the and how the world works
just outside of you know, the TV world some people live, uh,
and to treat her like that is bullshit, especially not
to defend to just be silent like Chuck Schumer was
cracking jokes when he was at a pack. Of course
he's gonna not, you know, cape for her there. But
at the same time, this is where you're starting to
see the real divisions in the party. Were like oh,

(38:15):
this old centrist bullshit, and also just how rigid they
are and not being able to look at a woman
of color who's a different religion from maybe there's and
being like, Okay, maybe this person is saying something real
rather than oh my god, how do I this? This
is upsetting certain people, and I don't want to say
anything despite you know, the intent sentiment, Yeah, exactly. They

(38:38):
like the leadership right now is still just like patting
themselves in the back for gay marriage, you know what
I mean. They're still just like, no, but we did that,
so that should give us. That should buy us another
ten years. Right, that's good, we did that, were done,
and it's like no, yeah, and then being and then
even how dismissive they are of representatives like Alexandria Kao
Cortez or Rashida taib or Ayana Pressley or elhan Omar.

(39:00):
You can tell that even like Pelosi knows like, oh,
that's yea. They know that that this group of freshmen
are seriously have the ear of a of a generation
of people, and they are animating people and and they
don't like that ship. But I think because it's it's
a direct threat to business as usual as how it's

(39:21):
been for the centrist Democratic Yeah, the their corporate Dems.
They want they want to keep making the money the
way they are and then have their their a couple
of issues that they can be like seeing this is
how we're different, and it's like, well, no, but your
your checks are still kit and cut from a lot
of the same people, right, Yeah, I mean there there
is a tension in that the Democratic Party is feeling
like America does not have a leftist party anymore they

(39:44):
have or ever forever. They have a centrist party that
is now growing to incorporate some leftist people. And the
Republicans and their opponents on the right are seeing that
and trying to just like, you know, pick at that wedge,
pick it that like the distance between the two and

(40:04):
you know, uh so division and the mainstream media does
love to talk about how the Dens are in fighting. Um,
that do seem to be a story. Yeah, we're having
but we're having good problems because we're trying to figure
out how we actually get better I mean as a
as a ideology or whatever. The American left is, there's
an identity crisis that's trying to be solved. Meanwhile, on

(40:26):
the right, it's like, well, when are we just going
to change from an elephant to a swastica? Yeah? Right, yeah, exactly.
That's the only in fighting I think they have. It's
just being like, when are we gonna just full fully
out here with our chests. I would be like, yeah,
we like racism. Yeah, let's let's abandon all the quote
principles that we had to begin with, like, because the
idea of conservatism is just like doesn't exist anymore whatsoever

(40:47):
the party either, you know, And there's a bunch of
bullshit to begin with that to begin with. But it's
so funny that they were just like, no, no, no,
we'll just we're just gonna move it towards the actual
logical end of that train of RIGHTA, all those principles
never Trump Republicans. A lot of them have come around
to Trump's with thinking, yeah, because at the end of

(41:09):
the day, no one is about ship except to stay
in office. And if they're like it's like getting you know,
they got their sheet music and they're like, this is
the track we're planting because that's the only way we're
gonna stay on the charts. Yeah, because they know that,
they're like, they're like, if they were to argue one principle,
it like wouldn't stand up against you know, logically at
all with anything. You know, they have to keep going
after the fear like, well, this is what's getting the

(41:29):
ratings right exactly. And then meanwhile, when they're they're like,
we're going to repeal Obamacare, and then people like what's
your replacement plan, You're like, we got nothing. Checking back
in a couple of weeks because you don't know. And
but then you do have a couple of Republicans who
to get the existential threat that the party is facing
and they're like, sorry, we cannot go into without an
actual comparable solution to what we will replace Obamacare with.

(41:53):
And mean will be like, come on, don't worry, We're
just gonna run on this islamophobic rhetoric and just drum up.
I mean, I guess you know, will say how many
racists they can turn out? Yeah, Well, and it's an
easier sound bite for the mainstream media to find is
like that kind of stuff versus like actually a substantial
debate between like the two different ideas, you know, and
it gets more clicks. So you know they're they're more

(42:14):
you know, they're more interested in in in that direction
as well. You know, they're not putting the more substantive
Republicans on TV to kind of talk about their ideas
and stuff. You know, So they could be being like, hey,
well how about you, since you're not an out and
out racists, come on and like talk about what you're
thinking and stuff and move the window in that direction.
But they're not interested in that. Yeah, they've fed too
much red meat to their base and they their diet

(42:37):
will not change anymore. So you know, I'm pretty sure
that at the point in return, Yeah, that colon is
full of ship. Yeah, all right, we're gonna take another
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back and

(43:01):
speaking about in fighting guys. Before the break, I want
to talk about a house divided, a court case that
is rocking Grand Haven, Michigan. Yeah, that's what I was
gonna guess. Yeah, so a man is suing his parents

(43:22):
for basically destroying his collection. Yeah, that he had worked
so hard, I mean building up its books, baseball cards.
We've we've all had it happened to us. You come home,
you're like, Mom, where's all my Jason Kid Rookie cards? Right?
Thrown away? But about the Stackhouse rookies? What about Stackhouse

(43:43):
rookies worth? Like a rookie cards? What about my Michael
Jordan Electric Court upper deck card, Electric Court gold by
the way, and Beckett that was worth mom, and it's gone. Yeah,
we all know this same feeling, this mail. I'm putting
all my money in to baseball cards. I don't care
what people say that that's still were all my retire

(44:07):
So this case has been moving its way through different courts.
Certain judges didn't feel like there was an actual case
to be tried here. Um, but I want to let
the listeners decide the tale of To keep this person anonymous,
the news has been referring to this gentleman as Charlie.
Uh So, behold the tale of Charlie. His parents allegedly

(44:27):
telling him they destroyed the stuff He's looking for, that
stuff being twelve moving boxes full of pornography. Unable to
work it out with his parents. He calls the Ottawa
County Sheriff's apartments, declaring his collection worth about twenty nine
thousand dollars, the prosecutor's office eventually declining to press charges
in the matter. Just a month later, Charlie begins reaching

(44:49):
out to his dad through email, according to the lawsuits, saying,
if you had a problem with my belongings, you should
have stated that at the time and I would have
gone elsewhere. Instead, you chose to keep quiet and behave addictively,
his father apparently responding, believe it or not, one reason
for why I destroyed your porn was for your own
mental and emotional health. I would have done the same

(45:09):
if I had found a kilo of crack cocaine someday,
I hope you'll understand. Emails continue, some bringing up Charlie's
alleged past, recalling him being kicked out of high school
and even college for selling porn to other students. Dad
allegedly saying I also warned you at the time if
I ever found pornography in my house again, I would

(45:29):
destroy it. Oh Charlie, Charlie, uh so gone elsewhere? So
you just moved home as a choice. What had happened
was Charlie moved into his parents home after going through
a divorce. So Charlie is not a young man. I mean,
I don't know how old he is, but yeah, And

(45:52):
so he stayed for ten months in his in his
parents home doing housework in lieu of paying rent, and
he was asked to leave during a domestic situation to
any seventeen. And then that precipitated all this other stuff
going on with his his pornoe collection being thrown out
later on in the in the report they're talking about,
he's making the case. He's like, I have video cassettes. Uh,

(46:15):
they were video cassettes of material that is so rare
that it cannot be found anymore, like and not even
the production studios that made the content have dissolved, and
these are like some of the only remaining remnants of
this work. So his was his bespoke pornoe collections. He's
making the case that he was a one man moving

(46:36):
box porn museum that, like, the culture is now worse
off because we are without his collection. It belongs in
a museum. Yelling at I mean, on one hand, Dinnah
Jones of but stuff right, On one hand, I'm like, alright, dude,
like do whatever. But then when you hear the emails

(46:59):
back and forth, like I'm not trying to shame anybody
who collects porn. Do what you gotta do. But like
the way the dads was writing back, it seemed like
this was negatively affecting they do his life When he
was like, your I did it for your emotional psychological
well being. Yeah, if you're just watching porn, it just
doesn't like he uses the boxes, he sets them up
as a chair and he takes like that's like all

(47:21):
of his furniture is made of his porn boxes, like
sleeps across them with like a cop mattress for yeah, yeah,
exactly every night. It seems like it's been a long
term problem, they said, being kicked out of play school
and even college, which dealing like for selling pornography, Like

(47:42):
is that really a thing you kick somebody out of
a like everybody high school I get because you're a mind,
you could be probably a minor and you're like you're
walking around with like this material it's only for adults
or whatever, but in college, like what are you doing
in college? Or cause, like, hey, Charlie, we gotta talk man, right,
what mean fun? You're running an odyssey video out of
your time. He's got a trench coat that he opens
right inside of it. It's just like lots of just

(48:03):
pictures is just but hole, but he never sells them
because expensive. And that's just how He's just like, look
at look at all these buttholes. He's like, what do
you mean, Oh, you don't know this gauge video from No, sir,
you can go elsewhere. Why don't you go to porn
hub dot com, sir? I refuse to sell to you.
I mean, it seems like literally everybody who's known this

(48:24):
guy since he went through puberty has known him as
the porn guy, like the guy who is constantly talking
about porn, trying to push port, trying to point. And
I know everybody in this room right now know somebody
like that from their upbringing. I'm not okay. I let's
talk about two people. There's one kid named Ryan in
my elementary school. He got in trouble because he would

(48:45):
cut out the underwear ads from like the Make Company
newspaper ship and being like showing us in first grade
like yo, he got in told for that. Another kid,
I'm not gonna say his name, but we have the
same first name. Is he like lived with his grandfather
who has so many porn tapes at his house like that.
He was the one who like you'd be like, yo,

(49:06):
did you get that new tape from him? And like
we would and it was like one of those mixed
tapes that were clearly just like grandpa was doing two
DCR editing and ship and he was like also selling
that ship. People were like, be like, yo, let's put
like ten bucks together, get that tape. Pull it, pull
it for the internet to Ryan. Yeah, we had a

(49:27):
guy named Tucker that uh similar thing, but then he
also had a screen name. He was the n Y
charity tickler that he like would message all these girls
in marching band and be like, I'm raising money for
a charity in New York if you send me a
tape of you being tickled, and we were all like no.
And then we all found out on like a bus

(49:49):
trip to a band competition that in white charity tickler
was hitting up all the girls in the brass section
and we were like, who is this And then we
we figured it out was Tucker. I think he's in jail,
though I thought I thought you said he just got
a show in Fox. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a former
it's a former prison. Wow. I like, like it was

(50:13):
so specific. He's like, I want the ladies from the
brass section. I want to see tickle videos of them
just giggling too much. And he was like one step
more specific than the dude from Ticklish. They have to
play brass, like I need to see their ambit. Sure.

(50:35):
Oh my god, do you saw that documentary? Yeah, the
tickling one on HBO. Yo, you gotta watch. Everybody listening
right now if you have not seen that. It's called Tickled.
Tickled the HBO documentary. It starts off about a thing
that you it's about a tickling tournament or something, and
then they peeled this motherfucking onion so many layers. You're

(50:57):
just like, what the fun is going on? And it's
one of those documentaries that starts like dark kids about this,
and then it just expands into this. Man, I gotta
see it. Yeah, it's it's wild. A quick check in
with the service industry that I wanted to uh, service workers.
A new report has found drink more if they have

(51:17):
to fake being happy at work. Right if you're having
to put on a fake smile, you, on average will
drink more than somebody who gets to just be uh
shitty crabass like me. Yeah. Well yeah, they did a
phone survey of almost six American service workers, and yeah,

(51:38):
I found this link between They call it emotional labor. Yeah,
just the effort it takes to fake a smile. And
they said that researchers found reportedly faking you're amplifying positive
emotions at work while suppressing negative emotions was linked to
heavier alcohol consumption after work. Overall, surface acting was robustly
related to heavy drinking, even after controlling for demographics, job demands.
Negative effectivity can been with an explanation of impaired self control.

(52:02):
So it's just I feel this, you know, I feel
that's yeah. We've all had to smile at like a
real assholet for for jobs, right and just been like
uh huh yeah it's fine. I can't wait till this
is over. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. They say that
it wasn't just the feeling badly that was fueling the
alcohol consumption. It was the more that they have to
control negative emotions at work, uh, was like made them

(52:27):
less able to control their alcohol intake and then that
energy goes somewhere. Yeah, it's got to go. Yeah, well,
and you're you're not allowed to stand up for yourself.
Someone's announced because the customers right service with a smile,
things are great, that's fine. Absorb all this abuse sexual
or otherwise or whatever the depending on whatever wherever you're
working and the clientele. Because even thinking of like how

(52:48):
like we don't even have a way to deal with
customers who are sexually harassing servers that there's like coded language.
Now it can't just be like hi, so you gotta
get the funk out of here. But not talking to
my servers like that verse is like doing like twenty
two at that table, you know, like I think we're
I think this is sort of showing how just terrible
we treat even service workers. Of just being like, you're

(53:10):
doing this work that is causing you to treat your
emotions in a way that is insincere, possibly fueling alcohol
consumption or just negative emotions, but please do with a
smile and for very little pay. Uh, and don't ask
why you don't have health insurance? Right Yeah, so I
don't know, man, it's uh, shout out to you service workers. Yeah,

(53:31):
and I don't know how. I mean even when I
when I was a teenager and nice to do kid's
birthday parties, that was like a thing where I was
having to absorb the stress of a parent having like
a kid's birthday, and like, why isn't this year? Why
isn't this year? And I'd be like, Okay, I'm gonna
get your Domino's pizza now. Yeah, I'll put this out
here for the service they're listening. If you see good
old Brandy posey at your place of work and someone's

(53:51):
being an asshole to you, come over, get me a wink,
and I will spit in their food. There you go,
I'll take care of I will do that for you. Yeah,
I mean no, let me know whose food. I gotta
do some ship too, and tell your servers if you like,
when you go to a restaurant, be like, hey, look,
I got your back, just so you know. Yeah, if
you want me to fucking fight somebody, I will. Yeah.
If you're having a bad table somewhere else, come talk

(54:12):
to me about it. Because guess what, I'm the customer.
I can start some shop with this other customer. Yeah, exactly,
because because what I'm also right right, right right. But
I am also so the manager who's right in this
case manager? Guess what I am? Your manager? Now? Yeah, exactly,
I own this. Also tip tip them more, guys. I

(54:34):
found this great new money saving technique. Shut the fuck
tip pre tax and don't tip on alcohol and cut
all these other things. I mean, yeah, just just pay,
just pay it tip. I try and tip at minimum, yes,
pretty much everywhere, even when it's bad, because I don't Also,

(54:55):
you know, you don't know their days. Maybe they've had
to smile at some at a bunch of people that
were pieces of ship. Well, just knowing, like how many
layers there are two service even in a restaurant, like
what's happening in the kitchen, what's happening with your front
of house staff? Like it's not it's not always just
the one person you're like, oh, well, I saw them
talking about the serving station. So I'm gonna watch this
tip I'm writing in nah fam All right, Uh, in

(55:21):
our remaining time, let's get to the dessert. Let's talk
about a Game of Thrones, uh turned on Sunday night.
We also wanted to talk about how it got so
huge because not that many people subscribe to HBO, like
a lot of people do, but not enough for it
to be as big as it is. Right it is.
I thought you're going to say, like, I don't know
how it got so big. You're like, I don't know,

(55:45):
not a fan, but it is apparently the most pirate
ID show on TV, maybe in the history of TV.
Last season was piate over a billion times. Uh HBO
has with with HBO has fought back traditionally by asking
internet companies to send out polate notices and informing people

(56:09):
that they may not realize that you can pay money
and subscribe to HBO through your local cable company. And people, yeah,
and people think that HBO does this because they secretly
know that it's actually good for them, because it builds
up the word of mouth, and the show couldn't be
nearly as big as it is without piracy, Like even
even though like it, they've now built up enough numbers that,

(56:32):
you know, hundreds of millions of people are watching each
episode a Game of Thrones, like legitimately, like who knows
how many of those people pirated the first couple episodes
because you're not gonna like subscribe before you've seen a thing,
or if you're a striminal, as the streaming services call it,
when you're using someone else's logging to watch the ship.

(56:53):
That's pretty funny. I think all of my friends are striminals.
What's funny that I like that the industry is creating
vocabulary around this now because we have to identify this
is a problem for our money, and we're labeling them straminals. Yeah,
there's something. Uh, speaking of creating new language, there's like
shadow competition that takes place with piracy, where like you

(57:18):
add a sort of shadowy line to the supply and
demand chart that is, you know, the black market, and
that prevents HBO from jacking up their prices anymore than
they already do. But what do you mean? Because because
they know people can pirate it and that that is
an option out there, they can't jack their prices up

(57:38):
too high because at a certain point people are just
gonna be like, I'm gonna go watch it on, I'm
gonna go pirate it, go fund yourself like me with
TV now they push me too far and I'm out.
Um And they also don't have TLC anyway. That's a
whole other But yeah, HBOS subscriber based twenty six million
in the US sixty million worldwide. Uh, and they said

(57:59):
that estimated that the first episode might be watched a
billion times, so um for real, yeah, downloaded a billion times?
And they think there will be a billion sets eyes
on that. I read somewhere a billion viewers, but that
seems like too much and definitely can't be concurrently, like
a billion. Yeah, I think like over the last decade
of playing, people have watched, which is but there's like

(58:21):
seven billion people in the planet something like that. The
demand for this series, though, is like like some of
the ship they say. Game of Thrones season two was
released to record setting DVD sales, Like that was long
after people stopped watching DVD, but like people give a
funk about Game of Thrones, man, we just want those sets. Yeah.
At a yard sale literally this weekend, I saw a

(58:43):
guy selling his full Game of Thrones DVDs and a
guy bought all of them because he hadn't watched the
series yet, and because the dude that was selling them
was just like, yeah, I got HBO ghost, I was
watching all digitally. Now I don't need these anymore. And
I was like, oh, man, well there's a new Game
of Thrones fan also what you do on the interne
that's ow. Yeah, that's that's why you gotta have some

(59:03):
hard copies of You got to keep a couple of
things that really they really love my I think I
don't know if I mentioned this on the show. My
mom almost threw out a copy signed copy of Song
of Fire Nice by Joe Martin. I don't know if
you talked about it on the show, but yeah, that's wild.
I was going through in her house. She was like
throwing away in a very much an instance where I
was like, where my Jason Kidd Rookie cards? And she's like,
there's a box of ship go through it. And then
there was a box of other things she was throwing

(59:24):
away and there was a I saw it and I
was like, oh, this is cool. I opened it. It's signed.
I'm like, what were you going to do with this?
She's like, I don't even probably throw them away. And
I was like, you powesome, loving mother of mine, God
bless you poss some loving mother of mine. Sounds like
like one of those things they dub in over a swear,

(59:46):
probably a replaced Sam Jackson line for sure, and mother
of mine um but TNT version of this podcast. Uh So,
any any other additional thoughts other than my wild prediction
that's probably not going to happen. Just the first episode.
How are we feeling that it's back. I just feel
so good at that it's back. Yeah, I just want

(01:00:08):
to be again. I just want to be freed from
this journey I've gone on where I've been twisted and
turned too many times. Just I guess this is one
thing I want to ask without spoiling anything, Randy, how
do you wish the series will win? What are you
holding out for? I mean, I don't trust George R.

(01:00:28):
Martin whatsoever. So like it's straight up could just be
like the Night King flossing on the throne. It could
like it could end that way. And honestly, I I
imagine I will stand and deliver a slow clap at
the end of the last episode. Whatever happens. We're probably
the second to last episode, But the last episode is
gonna be like the wrap up, kind of like that
last episode, like the end of the last Lord of

(01:00:50):
the Rings movie. I think the last one will kind
of be like the slow letdown, and this is where
everybody that's still alive is, although that might not happen
it could I wouldn't mind a Sopranos type ending. Yeah,
And you're like, oh, I wouldn't mind a could happen
sharp objects type ending. Well, you think it, you think
it wrapped up the way you were expecting it to
wrap up, and they bring it. Well, they've said what

(01:01:13):
Gurham said that it's going to be a bitter sweet
ending either way, which is probably the more generous way
that this can go down. Bitter sweet, yeah, bitter Yeah.
It's like, okay, well that's not my heart on the floor, sobbing.
This isn't like Ober. Did anybody ask him what his
definition of bitter sweet was like, because that that scene

(01:01:35):
with Ober him might have been his definition of bitter
sweeties like but on the other hand, I mean good
for the mountain, bitter sweet like when you when you
bite into a rotten lemon. Oh god, you know it's
a little bitter and a little sweet. Man. Yeah, I
don't know. I'm just I'm happy. I'm happy to have
it back, and I will be happy when it's over,
because this is the I don't like watching shows week

(01:01:56):
to week. I prefer binge because I have an addictive personality.
I just will spend the entire week obsessedly and reading
everything and listening to all the Game of Thrones podcast
at one point five speed because there's too many so
I just will get jacked up in between episode so
it will feel good when it is over one way
or another. Frans George, who what are you hoping for?

(01:02:17):
Want everybody to die? Everyone? I want everybody to die,
including everybody, including the dead, because what is dead cannot
be Yeah, what is dead cannot be killed or cannot die.
I don't know. Part the cynical part of me is
almost just like because the show was sort of built
on like, oh you think, just because of the like
narrative habits of other storytellers, certain characters cannot die. Ha

(01:02:40):
ha ha. So I don't mind playing that all the way.
I like that, but I can't abide a version where
it's the Night King winning because I don't know, like
every time they've done that, it's been like, yeah, but
that's how history works. But like being like end zombies win,
like that's not really anything. Give them more than zombies.

(01:03:03):
Check the whitewalkers and white walkers. One thing I'm just
wishing is I'm like thinking of weapons that they should
be using that could help them, like a gigante dragon glass.
And then so try and get near that, you clumsy
motherfucker's you get chopped the funk up, That would be sad.
Then what I guess the dragon will come through vaporizing.

(01:03:23):
But she had it for a minute, for a minute,
it was cool for a second. That's why I know
I'm a reasonable human being, because then I realized the
lameness of my ideas. How are you powering that thing?
Just a bunch of motherfucker's cranking. This just a bunch
of cranking, know what I mean? Yeah, okay, cranks on
cranks and cranks, cranks on cranks on crazy cranks. I
just want to see Arga do some cool ship. Team Sam.

(01:03:46):
Those are the two people that I don't want to
see down. You would be destroyed if if Sam went
out like a sucker. Yeah, but I've also but like also,
like I've seen Serenity, and I know what can happen
and how much can hurt me. So it's like, all right,
that's that I think of. I don't know if you
guys are firefl Serenity fans at all, but like I

(01:04:07):
think of there there's a character. I don't want to
it's a decade old movie. There's a character character. It's
the very beloved character that dies and like it at
the end uh no, right, the beginning of act three.
And it is a punch in the gut. And it's
so good though, because it changes all the rules and
you're like, oh, anybody can die, and it's after he
has just done something heroic for everybody, and it hurts

(01:04:29):
even more and yeah, I'm talking very vaguely about it. Yeah,
but it's it's uh oh man, it hurts. And that
that changed the way that I've thought about all of
these kinds of shows like Forever Time, and that's the morust.
Don't trust anybody anybody. Of the entire game with Thrown
series is anybody can get it. Well, Brandy, it has

I don't know if you guys have seen this or not.
Have you seen the tweet of soft Synth Bear is

(01:06:16):
the person on Twitter who posted this? And it is there,
it is. It's um Jonathan Fraakes telling you you're wrong
for forty seven seconds and it's just this No, not
this time. We created it. Not this time, No, not
this time. It's totally made up, pure fiction. It's a fiction.

(01:06:37):
It's fiction. We made it up. We made this one up.
It's a made up tim It's a total fabrication. It
never happened. This one was invented by a writer. It
never happened. It's great. There's twenty more seconds of it.
It's so it's just I don't know even know what

(01:06:57):
show this is from, but he's so smug. I love
a joll of Jonathan's freak. It's not from Star Trek No, no, no,
it's just it's just the it's a compilation of Yeah,
it's just him like narrating. I don't know if that Yeah,
it's some like sci fi show that he's doing and
it's just him just being like, I don't know, but
we made that one up. That's a fake. Beyond belief

(01:07:19):
factor fiction is a show that does that makes sense.
But every time you nope, nope, that was a fake.
Not gonna have a complete fabrication. We lied to you.
Everything is nothing is real. I'm waiting for somebody to

us on tweets. Uh. This one was brought to my
attension by Unapologetic Magic at FK a nerve. Okay, And
this is actually a Quinta Brunson tweet, and it's very

(01:08:00):
appropriate concerning you know, the Game of Thrones, a weekend
and the world we're living in now. Quinine, I tweet
for the people who stopped watching Game of Thrones the
first season because they watched it with their boyfriend, but
they broke up and you were too emotional to keep
watching without him, so he got custody of the entire series.
Oh damn, girl, take it back, Take it back, Take

(01:08:23):
back the throne. Yes, my wife tried to start Game
of Thrones last night, and it was I was trying to,
like because I want her to watch it, like be
up on it, so I'm like you even I was
answering every time she asked who's that? Who's that? What's that? So,
why do you say that? And then like even she

(01:08:44):
like figured out, she was like this is comically like,
this is impossible, so she's not gonna go back and
watch it. Also, I feel like every episode that she
jumps in on there is a gratuitous like four way
sex scene, Like it's just like, while we do this exposition,
four of us are going to fund this. Dude, what

(01:09:06):
you watching? Jack? I do want to say this something
that I would like everybody doing tweet threads to start
doing now the Game of Thrones is back. It's just
end your tweet thread with a picture of brand and
a wheelchair, because my favorite moments in the at this
first episode, we're just like the same would end and
it would just cut to brand and it made me

wheat or something. Yeah, I mean, it's the age he's at.
