and rewound it back and I was like, wow, I'm
the only person that found this. That's me. I found it,
and it's like the next day you're like, damn it.
One side. It was funny because when you watch John
Travolta's face when it happens, you can see the moment
he just commits to going I don't care now I'm

(02:07):
going to say whatever I think right now. He seems
like a little drunk maybe or something, or like maybe
he was on some muscle relaxers or something. Look, whatever

the things we're talking about today. Miles and Game. Neither
of us have seen it. I've never seen it. That's
all right, and that's good for you the listener, because
that means we can't spoil it for you. That's right.
But according to Internet spoiler rules that Vulture created via

(02:51):
they're like quiz, sevent of people think that you have
two weeks to see a movie, but only twenty four
hours to watch a TV show. So watch out. Game
of Thrones is coming third act. But we're gonna talk
about how Endgame made one point two billion dollars over
the weekend that we we feel like a day is

(03:14):
enough time to spoil that fact for you guys, and
you know, shout out to somebody who's upset that we
spoiled what the box office? Hall was like, oh man,
and until Wednesday to hear about that. Uh, But it
did that by conquering the Chinese box office. And we're
gonna talk a little bit about how they went about

(03:34):
doing that. We're going to talk about William Barr, who
has decided to tell the House Judiciary Committee to go
funk themselves based and basically, Yeah, let's getting a little
getting a little hot, especially considering you know, the Judiciary Committee,
you know, has an oversight roll over the Department of Justice.
But what do we know, you know, we're living in

(03:54):
Avengers endgame, I think or whatever. This escape, this Avengers
of the Long Night, Avengers of the Long Nights, big
weekend for just fans of culture. Yeah, we're gonna talk
about bedos five trillion dollar climate change plan. Yeah, that's
a lot of mine's gonna pay for it, right, that's
that's my first question. Uh, we're gonna talk about the

(04:17):
fact that Moby, Yes, that Moby once rubbed his penis
on the president, rubbed his bear penis, but he was
he was in mourning for nine eleven, right, And I'm
not joking. This weird odd story of sexual assault nine
eleven tinge. Yeah, um so yeah, I know you look,

(04:38):
this one is crazy and I can't wait to get
there or not. This is this from his memoirs. He's
got a book coming out. It's got a book coming out.
You gotta everybody knows, right, I was just reading another
article about how there's just the hyper influx of Trump
based books now that like even the publishing industries like, yo,
I don't know if we know what to do with

(04:58):
this anymore. H So of course you gotta follow the rules.
He's like, I'm sure the publishers are like, do you
have a Trump story? But I think my great, great,
great great there people will read your memoir. Then, Moby,
we are then reserving all of that three for Game
of Thrones. We're gonna talk about our impressions. We're gonna

(05:20):
talk just general spoiler rules like I was talking about
up top, But then we're going to give our spoiler
less Game of Thrones impressions and then some some that
disturbing spoiled spoiled, spoiled remains at the end. So people
can stop listening if they'd like to, if they scared

(05:40):
of the truth that they didn't have time to watch
the show this weekend. But first, Kimmy, what is something
from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Oh? Yeikes,
I've been looking up a bunch of net Worths, like
anybody anyone who I see on TV or look at.
So what's yours? You looked up? Yours? First? Mine doesn't

(06:01):
come up? Made me neither. That's when I know I
made it. Yeah, Jack, we're worth like four million or something. Yeah,
according to the Internet. I think I'm worth it. It's
better that way million. Wait, I did come up on
it says five hundred thousand dollars. It got my birthday wrong.
This is all incorrect. Who makes this site? I don't

(06:23):
know of a fan. This is not not real. Also,
what a terrible photo of me. If anyone finds this.
It says I'm a hundred and seventy nine years old
stumble upon just now. Well, anyway, this is what happens
when you look up net where. It's very exciting. How
old are you me? I'm twenty? Well, oh, like the

(06:46):
bouncer asked you what you were you boring? Well? It
also says my date of birth is uh February two.
This is so bad. This is a weird way of
you outing yourself off as a mythical time traveler slash
Melissandro type. Everybody should disregard this. Well, who else are

(07:06):
you looking at? I've been looking up the Housewives of
Beverly Hills, Housewives and everyone on Vanderpump So do you
watch the show and go? Does this person have the
right to be this stuff up? Let me look up
their network. No real, well, I guess on Vanderpump. I
was like, there's some episode where the Toms were like
one of the Toms is getting a bunch of motorcycles
for their Tom Tom opening, and I was like, this

(07:26):
costs too much money for just an evening. Let me
see how much money this man makes. And it was
still not enough for him to just drop like dollars
on the evening of the motorcycle rentals. Words went over
my head about the Toms, and I knew that there
was one person named Tom on that show. Is Tom

(07:46):
Tom the GPS system, No, it's a bar the two Toms.
There's two Toms on that show. Is the one who
wears the hat a lot? Yeah? What do you mean,
the one who wear the hat a lot? I don't know.
I'm kind of the only person I remember Stazi. Oh yeah,
Jack's yes, yes, yes, one of my favorite mortal komback,

(08:08):
one of the most obvious. I've never seen somebody and
been like they have a chin implant, except Jack's. He
looks like he's got like the craziest like law all right,
so that might be a compliment to Jack's. I don't know,
but it takes a while, Like you have to you

(08:30):
have to have a pretty solid for a one K
game to start buying motorcycles to match your outfit for
an evening. Oh hell yeah, yeah, I wish I even
ride a bike. What is something you think is overrated? Oh?
The arc light? Okay, I don't think people not everybody

(08:51):
has an arc light with them, So why don't Why
don't you let people know who don't aren't blessed with
the arc light location near them. What it's about. Here's
my probably negatively tinge tip description of the arc Light.
It is a movie theater that costs a lot of
money because you're paying for an elevated movie going experience. Uh,
and it has like only two trailers before every movie,

(09:13):
and someone who works at the arc Light will come
out and introduce the movie to you like you're at
a play or something like the run time is this much,
and you will see these actors, um enjoy. I will
be here to make sure the sound and quality. Yeah,
it is up to our arc light standards. Blah blah
blah blah. Is just a lot. I mean, I just think, uh,

(09:36):
it's okay that everybody doesn't have an arc light because
most theaters. Like, the big thing about the arc Light
was that it was the first place I think to
have like nicer seats and you could reserve your seats
at East in l A. And now everywhere does that
and has pretty okay seats, So we don't really need
to be paying the twenty bucks to go to the
same movie that we could go to for like twelve
bucks somewhere else and just grow to the arc Light
where they feel just like a soda cup full of

(09:57):
popcorn and not even the bigger b know that's that's
like the popcorn game is worse at the fancy theater.
It sucks. It's like they want us to respect our
bodies or something. Well, yeah, because the food. They're like,
you can't really have a gross movie meal at an
arc Light. They're like, we have a mango sausage link
and artisan baguette, Like do you have a nitrate filled

(10:20):
hot dog for me to destroy my body trash bag
with popcorn exactly? And my trash bag, I mean my body,
I think trash bag with I don't even have a ticket. Um.
The thing with the arc Light, I guess is the drinking.
But now amc and doing that also all the other

(10:42):
places that are stepping their shipped up with like the
full on reclining seats. I don't have that at arc Light.
So other than that, I'm failing to see what the
appeal is. That's what I'm saying. It used to be hype,
but now every other movie theater is doing that thing,
and you're need to pay the Arc Light. Those are
the ones you have to be really worried about being
late because it was certain point they won't let you,
won't let you in. They won't after like ten minutes minutes,

(11:05):
like that movie is already begun, sir. So if you
pull up to the ticket taker and they're like no,
and they don't refund you, yeah, they don't refund you
because they're like, does our policy you should not. We
don't want you to disturb the other viewers. That's right, Yeah,
Oh you know that's I think it's get that. Yeah.
But if someone is a little bit late and they
paid for this movie, I'll take the one second to

(11:25):
let them cross me in the aisle and sit down
really step on my shoes. Then I'll make a bigger
scene than one on the screen. But yeah, I think,
uh yeah, I have such anxiety about missing movies though.
That's why I guess to me, it's so foreign because like, though,
there's something about walking into a movie late where I'm
almost like, you know what, fuck it, I don't missed

(11:46):
the first If I missed the previews, I get bummed up. Yeah,
I get like the previews well in the arc, like
they don't play twenty minutes of previews, which I enjoy.
Previous best part. Yeah, my my wife acts like I'm
crazy for wanting to be two movies on time. I
think it's because it's the only thing that I'm worried
about being on time to write, and I'm never the

(12:07):
way with restaurant reservations or something. But yeah, like it's fine,
you can pull up forty minutes after they're good their movies.
I'm like leaving her behind, like like we have to go.
What is something you think is underrated? Oh? Spooky tein
soap operas? Uh, like kind of all of them. But

(12:27):
I think like, right now, we're in a time where
people are making a many more spooky tine soap operas
like Riverdale, Sabrina Liars. Yeah, it's spooky, there's murder and stuff. Oh,
I'm thinking like when you say spooky for some reason,
I'm thinking ghosts. I mean, I prefer the supernatural ones.
I guess dark ones, but I'm going to list more

(12:48):
supernatural ones because like teen Wolf, and then, um, I
think it's pretty little Liars didn't have any magic in it,
but like, I don't know how any of that stuff
happened if there wasn't magic. It is messy. Uh. And
then like of movies like Twilight, movies like these are
just like people love to be like, oh, that sounds
like garbage, but it's like those are the best. They're
so fun to watch. Everyone should watch them. It's just

(13:10):
like it's just crazy. So you're one of those people
who go objectively not probably the best thing, but there's
something about it. So what is the magic that pulls
you in? Is it just to feel better than like
the whack characters in the something? No, it just is crazy.
It's just like a show where you can watch it.
And then my favorite thing to do while watching those
shows is to be like what why, very very excited,

(13:33):
Like I think this adult had sex with a child.
None of the parents are concerned. They're just bonkers and
it's so much fun to watch. But people love to
hate on him because yeah, technically they're bad, but it's
like very exciting. Yeah, it's you know, it's all levels.
We all love drama, and I guess, you know, Game
of Thrones operates sort of on the same thing of
having the same intrigues. I'm trying to think is that

(13:53):
a recent genre because there weren't well, like, what was
the eighties version of spooky teen all Buffy is. But
I guess I guess they're all like sort of grandchildren
of Buffy, right, there was a teen Wolf in the
eighties too. Yeah, that is that movie is imprinted on me.
I always say it's a movie that I still can't

(14:15):
tell how bad it is, which proves that, like my
taste in movie is just warped by that um because
it was like one of the first movies I saw
that at basketball in it and so it like combined
Michael J. Fox Basketball and like just movies, and so
I was like, yes, this is awesome. Uh, still can't
tell how bad it is. But it's not. It's not
spooky at all. It's just like corn. It's almost like

(14:38):
it has like a Degrassi feel, like one of those
shows that you would see in Canada and be like, oh,
this is weird. I didn't know this existed. But it's
like a whole movie universe that was made exclude made
four and buy Canadians. Uh it's not great, but I
love it. No, that's the thing. They're all not great,
but that you just gotta love them. Uh. And finally,

(15:01):
what is a myth? What's something people think it's true
you know to be false? Oh no, right, the myth
part myth of it all? You know what you know
when they say, like you swallow a seed and then
the fruit will grow inside your belly. Uh, you think
it's true because I actually I have had this for

(15:23):
my whole life. I like, watch One Regrets episode where
watermelon grows inside Chucky, and I like it swallowed a
cherry when I was like eight, and I'm still like
searching waiting for that cherry seed to come out so
tree doesn't grow inside me. So I'm like, I don't
know if I'm disproving this myth or just confessing that
I think this. Like I wake up with anxiety that

(15:45):
this myth might be true, that something yeah in your stomach,
come out of your mouth. Yeah, yeah, you get cancer
from your weekly cat skins. Some than is in there.
Remember first first put that in your head. Well, that
show did, and I do also recall asking my mom like, Hey,

(16:09):
is this going to happen? She's like, no, it'll come
out of your system. Uh. And so that's why I
just like check the toilet all the time for a
cherry seed. Yeah. And you guys don't have plastic gloves
in there. I notice you don't have latex exam gloves, right, yeah,
I need those. Yeah. Well, I'm glad. I'm hoping you

(16:29):
get past that. I don't know if I ever will. Uh.
Someone else debunked this myth for me in my mind,
maybe therapy is what I need to do, or there's
maybe something magic that we're not understanding. You may be
the person who's like, yeah, the child who gave life
from their stomach, that's right. There was somebody who inhaled
a seed of some sort instead of swallowing it, like

(16:50):
it went down their windpipe and they had like something
growing on their lung. I didn't need to know that. Yeah,
So don't inhale seeds? Is that real? Yeah? That's where.
So the reason that it would never grow in your
stomach is because the acid in there is like super
like powerful. It's not a good place for anything to grow.
But yeah, there was something with somebody like having a

(17:11):
seventy five year old cape cod man Ron Sweden who
discovered that a growth in his lung was not his
heer to tumor, but rather a pea plant a seed
had someone lodged itself in his lung, presumably after some
food found its way down the wrong tube and the
seed then sprouted. No, what but you didn't inhale. It
just don't inhale a pee. That's what hiccups are. One

(17:32):
of the food goes down the wrong pipe and you
hiccupping it up. Another for you, spasm, isn't it. Yeah,
it's just a diaphragm spasm. Damn it? Well, thank you?
Just like no, that's getting the seeds out of your body,
responding to all the seeds you um My mom always

(17:54):
said you you swallowed three seeds at night when you're sleeping. God. Alright, guys,
let's move on to the global records smashing open opening
of Avengers Endgame. We talked about how it was doing
really well overseas on Monday, but the records are in

(18:15):
uh it made one point two bills globally, which just
demolished the previous record. Like, the comparisons between the records
are pretty crazy. So it had the largest Thursday preview
at sixty million, the previous record was fifty seven. That's
not that big. Uh. Largest Friday opening one fifty six million,
the previous record was one nineteen. Uh, it's just insane

(18:40):
what it did. The largest domestic opening at three d
fifty million. The previous record was two hundred and fifty seven.
Can you imagine besting it by a hundred almost a
hundred almost a million. And the other one was Avengers
Infinity War. I just saw one right up. That was like, yeah,
Avengers pretty much broke every conceivable record possible. Are they

(19:00):
taking into account the fact that they like did a
thing where some movie theaters are open twenty four hours
to do like all night screen in place. That's what
I mean. It's like, yeah, it's gonna make more money.
You gave it more time with an open theater and
more I demand they had to keep it open because
it's still had the highest perth theater average at seventy
five thousand dollars, where the previous record was fifty nine,

(19:24):
So well, yeah, are you a fan of I? I
love him. I'm not die Hard. I like love a
superhero movie. But I haven't even seen this Avengers movie yet.
But I saw him for New Wars and I've seen
most of them see you movies, I think except for
Captain America. I don't know why I find that one, Like,
I think that guy is boring. Yeah yeah, I mean,
look some nerd who gets jacked on roids and then

(19:44):
figures it out? Sure doesn't he doesn't that like his deal?
They give him some kind of experimental Yeah, so I
remember that correctly. Then he's a little and steroid and
it's really a bad It's really a bad message when
for like young people trying to avoid steroid. Because I
didn't read the book, so like when I saw that,
I didn't know what his origin story was, and I
saw I was like, oh, that's what Captain America like. Yo.

(20:07):
It just puffed his dude up. He's like good bine
right exactly. Um. But it also had the highest share
the previous record was it made nine percent of the
dollars at the global box office. What of the money
made at the box office was generated Avengers end game
and in China that number was so of the tickets

(20:33):
that were bought in China were for Avengers end games.
So that's something that our writer JM was pointing out
was is kind of unique and probably the reason that
this broke you know, so many global records at least,
is it just demolished all Chinese records. Um and yet
to just tell you how into Avengers the people in

(20:57):
China are. There was a guy in Hong Kong who
got beaten up for mentioning a spoiler as he left
the theater um one woman. Wait, do we have any
details on the manner which he has been to? Somebody
buck fifty him? Did he just get you know, the
wild smack around? How big was the spoiler? There's a
photo going around on social media that shows him bloody

(21:19):
outside the theater. It wasn't like you got pushed around.
Yeah yeah, yeah people. There was another woman, a twenty
one year old from Ningbo, China, who started hyperventilating and
had trouble breathing because she was crying so hard during endgame,
and they had to give her oxygen and relax her emotions.

(21:40):
By appeasement was what the doctors by a piece is
that our foreign policy. When Hitler was in right, exactly
what the funk was, Wait, how do you I'm sorry,
just give them anything they want. Yeah, I've never even
seen someone articulate that and relaxed her relaxed her emotions
by appeasement. This could be a translation I'm not gonna

(22:01):
lie to you. Yeah, but I just kind of like
that though, too. Of like that that's a medical strategy, like, hey,
what do you want. We immediately gave her oxygen and
relaxed her emotions by appeasement, reducing her hyperventilation symptoms. Maybe
the relaxing emotions by appeasement were just like, you know,
none of the ship's real, right, those are just actors.
But I don't know if that would help her. She

(22:23):
was like, oh, so he's the Iron Man. I didn't know. Uh,
And so movie theaters and China screening end Game every
fifteen minutes, like I said, of all movie tickets that
were bought this weekend were sold there. So one of
the things that was going around in the media was
that the reason the Avengers are so successful is they
don't do the you know, cheap catering to Chinese interests,

(22:46):
like having you know, just a bunch of random product
product placement, except they totally have done that, Like they
just whitewashed out a bunch of the stuff that they've done,
like Tony Stark using a Vivo Own, which is a
phone that is only available in China and is like
a burner It's their version of a burner phone. It's

(23:07):
like a boost mobile phone. It's like their worst phone.
Stark is always using that he's the tech guy, Why
would he have a shitty burner phone? Right, That's exactly right.
They didn't even like bother getting it right. I'm sure
they were just like, who wants to pay us the
most money? The other? Yeah, the other product placement that
without seeing the film and I would just see on

(23:27):
social media everyone was yelling about was Audie. Seems like
people were getting hammered in the skull with Audi product placement.
And if that's a spoiler for you, I'm sorry. It's
just crazy that all of these diverse people with superhero
abilities would all choose Audi, would choose their refinement and
engineering of it, that the other car companies all disappeared, right,

(23:50):
they were all randomly just really bad luck good luck.
But maybe this explains why it was so popular in Germany.
We were talking on one day about how uh sup
producer an A. Hosny, it just came back from Germany,
and uh said it was like this really high culture,
like one big Williamsburg. So I was just expressing surprise

(24:13):
that it was still. Everybody was like, yes, we must
go taking the culture of the Avengers. Yes, And there's
been a bunch of other things. They shot extra scenes
and iron Man three where Tony Stark is saved by
a Chinese surgeon and the movie opens like against a

(24:35):
black scream, what does iron Man rely on to revitalize
his energy? And after a three second blackout, the answer
is Googley Duo, which is a Chinese milk drink. That's
how iron Man three starts. Wait, that's how the motherfucking
movie starts. There's a aggressive pre role that's baked into

(24:55):
the film that's like, this is an ad. So anybody
for milk drink. Anybody claiming that they were like subtle
or you know, did anything better than other movies is
probably wrong, or at least they did it as bad
as other movies. Uh, Doctor Strange had a less kind

(25:16):
of ridiculous or like a more problematic one because the
main antagonist, the ancient one, is typically a Tibetan character,
but because Tibet doesn't exist according to the Chinese government, Uh,
they just turned that character into a British woman played
by Tilda Swinton. Also they acted like Tilda Swinton and

(25:38):
shitty yellow Face was just some random British woman. Yeah,
and even and that is just the white lady. Yeah,
and the like a screenwriter actually said it, uh in
an interview. He said he originates from Tibet. So if
you acknowledge that Tibet is a place and that he's Tibetan,
you risk alienating one billion people who think that's bullshit,

(26:01):
and risk the Chinese government going, hey, you know, one
of the biggest film watching countries in the world, We're
not going to show your movie because you decided to
get political. So yeah, there's out of here with that, though,
Jesus um. That's like sort of the darkness too of
dealing with like the capitalism being like, well there's a
market there, right, and it's like okay, so are we

(26:21):
gonna are Google going to help them suppress like Internet
information from people and or his Marvel film is going
to deny the existence of Tibet to get those dollar
dollar bills. You'll it's very authoritarian because it's like super
flaky what they choose to ban and what they choose
not to ban. In China, uh like, their official censorship

(26:41):
guidelines technically prohibit movies that promote cults are superstition, which
is just a holdover from the Communist Party's secular ideology.
But they also banned Christopher Robin because people have compared
President she Uh to Winnie the Pooh right well, and
he like it's a lighthearted joke because he like kind

(27:03):
of looks like Winnie the Pooh just like in his
physical stature. He's a smiley face, yeah, and nice face.
He's like, no, that movie is not allowed. Oh that's cute.
Why just because it's a stuff buried doesn't want he
compared to you. Somebody's mad, somebody's oh you tight, Hansy. Yeah,
Mr Winnie the Pooh, but yeah. For instance, they've also
beenned movies about time travel because they think it's disrespectful

(27:27):
to history. But apparently and Endgame has all sorts of
you know, time bending stuff. I think any game, any
movie with Dr Strange would have time that don't don't
fun time travel history. I know, alright, Christopher Robin can
fuck right off and it it works. Apparently whatever they

(27:49):
do it is working in China because they're wild about it.
All Right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back, and William Barr has apparently

(28:12):
just decided to be officially the villain of modern American history. Yeah, mr,
full blown cover up. I mean, so you know, the
House Judiciary Committee is like, we want to have William
Barr come here to explain a lot of things around
the Muther Report, Like like what's up with the weird
letter you wrote that has a lot of inconsistencies with

(28:33):
what is in the actual Muther Report. What about when
you're screaming no collusion when that's not really even a
like legally defined term having to do with the Mueller Report.
It seems like before your pre Muller Report launched spin party,
when you were just saying all the things the president
would like to hear, there's a lot of Again, it
just seems like you're obscuring the truth. So we want

(28:53):
to have you explain things to us a little bit
because there's a lot of murky ship going on. And
on the Senate side, William Barr will testify in front
of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but that's led by Mr
Passive himself, Lindsay Graham. UM, and he's made it very
clear that the purpose of this hearing is not in
any way to press William Barr. His whole thing is like, well,

(29:15):
you know, the report came out. He says, there's really
no nothing to charge. I'm just tired of it. We
just need to move on. And he's just trying to
just spike this and be like can we just forget
about this? Um. But again, many people have been pointing
out with Lindsay Graham, not even in nine for years
past right, that he really only saves his energy to
talk about impeachment for Democrats when it comes to Republicans.

(29:38):
Suddenly he lost all his spine pills and it's just
like turns into an invertebrate sack of jelly and he's like,
I don't know, we've all out, um, So again, you
know a lot of it to do. Especially when I
asked about impeachment, He's like, why I don't I don't
really see a reason to look into this because no
crime was committed, and really, if there was, then maybe
we should impeach him. If they can prove there was

(29:59):
a crime, allow us to just revisit his comments when
Bill Clinton was going through his scandals. So the point
I'm trying to make is you don't even have to
be convicted of a crime to lose your job in
this constitutional republic. This body determines that your conduct is

(30:19):
a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role.
What cost. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about
cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity
to the office. Hell yeah, oh wait no, that was

(30:40):
twenty years ago. Um yeah. So everyone's like, um, what
happened to that energy, Lindsay um, And again he's just
wheeling around. So because of that, Jerry Nabler, who's running
the House Judiciary Committee, he's like, look, this is what
I want to do. You need to come up here.
We're gonna ask you what we need to know, and
I don't care about what you William are trying to

(31:00):
be like I'll answer these questions and like you have
this the wrong way, sir. We are summoning you because
we have an oversight role and you have to explain
to us what is going on, and there's a lot
of you know, like I don't know, blah blah blah,
back and forth. Um. And Jerry Nadler has now insisted
that or at least the rumor is I'm sure that's
actually just being fully reported now that the way he

(31:20):
wants to run this hearing is members will get a
chance to have their questioning and then they'll allow the
count like the lawyers for like the for each party
to then engage in questioning for thirty minute rounds. Because
you know, we've seen these kinds of hearings before. We're
like it's all all over the place and people aren't
like really hammering effective lines of questioning in and like

(31:41):
it gets really it can get you know a little
uh disjointed and doesn't quite render the answers because when
you only have five minutes, it's easy to run that
fucking clock out, especially when we saw was it Dick
Toilett who ran the clock out recently like I think
your time's up? Yeah, Matt Whittaker who was just straight
up like mmm, I'm going to talk this slow and

(32:05):
maybe like so The point of having lawyers is you
can give them they are well versed in questioning people,
and they can have a very focused line of questioning
that they can commit to the record. William Barr does
want nothing to do with that, and he's saying like, well,
I agreed to speak with the committee, so I mean
I intend to speak with the members, not the lawyers,

(32:25):
and acting like this is unprecedented. Cut to remember Brett
Havanaugh when they had that lawyer in there to do
to handle some of the questioning with Christine Blassie Ford.
This is not new, This is not out of the norm.
This is part of effectively checking the powers of certain
branches of the government. And this happens to be a
moment where you're looking at the attorney general and everything

(32:47):
fucking stinks about him, and all he's doing is seems
to be just in service of whatever the president's narrative
is around this report. So we'll see, because it's a
big deal, especially like to have an attorney general just
straight up being like, no, I'm good, that's not normal.
And so now there is now I think saying that
if he doesn't want to come ACA subpoena you, and

(33:08):
then we can do it that way, but this is
the time it will be very interesting to see how
the leadership on the left handles this sort of like
outright insubordination. Yeah, and it's also worth noting that they
don't need to argue or prove that you don't need
crimes to impeach, since the Muller Report openly gives all

(33:29):
the evidence that the President committed the crime of obstruction
of justice and then was like, I can't charge him
with it, but Congress sure can. Yeah. Uh so, yikes.
I feel a bit naive because I'm sort of like,
how do you get so many people in on the
wrong side? Then? Also there winning Yeah, well I think

(33:49):
you know, when it's about money and power and like
your endgame Avengers um is all about maintaining that, then
you'll you'll get your by any means on Whenever there's
a drought, get your umbrellas out, because that's that's when
I brainstorm. Yeah, uh yeah, you're on the r Melbourne.
My friend jay Z once said, get your umbrellas out,

(34:12):
because that's when I brainstorm. Uh, flyer than a piece
of paper bearing my name, I got the hottest chick
in the game wearing my chains. We're just gonna that's
gonna be the rest of this episode. Uh, we're just
gonna recite all and I cannot participate. And it's better
that you just look at us, like what check on

(34:35):
our delusional power? Yes, yes, yes, yes, um yeah. And
just in in the context of like other impeachments like
this is I don't know, when you when you look
at what the Mueller report says Trump did both in
the first part when he's openly taking aid from Russian

(34:57):
intelligence sources, and also in the second one he's obstructing justice,
like it's I don't know. I was reading an article
from our sponsored The Economist, The Economist, The Economist where
they were just kind of laying it out kind of
thousand feet away, like the macro view on it, and
just comparing it to like u s history and who

(35:18):
has been impeached and it's really not uh not a
good case that they have to make. And also like
what bar said and how carefully worded it was is
just wild. Well, these people aren't loyal to the office anymore.
They're loyal to the power of the office. And that's
why we have perversions of the power like this, because
even the people who are meant to check them are like, man,

(35:40):
but you know, it's kind of a different game now,
and we're just trying to like, uh cheat our way
into keeping power. So I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut,
even if it does mean I'm bringing on the downfall
of this representative democracy. Okay, I gotta go Alright, let's
talk about Hope. Let's talk about Beta Hope Solo Hope Solo.
Uh yeah, bet he's got a plan. Yes, he's got

(36:02):
a plan. It seems like he's been kind of the
guy that people were accusing of just having a bunch
of broad platitudes but not really having any of those
policy ideas that uh Elizabeth Warren has been putting out
there and Bernie has been running on for you know,
five years now. But he he actually put something together. Yeah,

(36:25):
of aggressive climate change plan like five trillly Okay, we're
talking about over ten years, and you know it's pretty
a lot of it harmonizes with the Green New Deal,
and a lot of stuff is is you know, pretty aggressive.
I mean first it's like, look, we got to get
back in the plan the Paris Climate Agreement. Okay, Yeah,

(36:46):
I like that makes very much sense to me. Uh.
Then also setting a net zero oh shout out to
net zero, net zero emissions carbon budget for federal lands
by and adding more national parks and to protect the land. Okay,
I like that too. Then we're talking about the five
trillion over ten years is to upgrade infrastructure and put

(37:06):
two fifty billion directly into research and development. So okay, look,
I like that putting money to science. Again, we've de
emphasized that quite a bit. Uh, don't worry, it's like
the ship with people amore o. Um. Then there's another
uh plan one point five trillion investment from So basically

(37:27):
they're going the revenue is going to be generated, according
to this plan, by structural changes to the tax code
that ensued corporations and the wealthiest among us pay their
fair share, okay, And that we finally end the tens
of billions of dollars of tax breaks currently given to
fossil fuel companies. All right, Yeah, that I'm seeing the
money there. I'm seeing some some money there. Uh. And
then also wants to make the United States a net

(37:49):
zero missions country by okay, and make it like try
and create a legally enforceable standard. Uh. In his first
hundred days if he is to be elected. Uh and
then like you know, taking on like sort of the
immediate effects of like wildfire, floods and things like that,
Proposing a federal crop insurance program, increased spending on predisaster

(38:10):
mitigation grants, legislation to make sure communities affected by disaster
build back stronger after storms. Porto Rico, please help them
help us because we're all Americans here. Uh So you
know again, it's it's the first sort of concrete little
plan that he's put out for people to kind of
sink their teeth into. And you know, it's a good,

(38:31):
uh just nice, feel good one because it's climate change.
It's not specifically dealing with like other heavier topics, but
one that I think I think it's good because he's
trying to put that at the forefront because it is
such a pressing issue. So yeah, I mean it's pretty heavy,
but it's not controversial, right, It's not like everybody wants
to It's not like it came out with a gun
control you know what. That's what I mean. It's like

(38:54):
it's easier to be like, Okay, this will get centrists on,
this will my progressive people to be like, Okay, he's
thinking about that, And even people who might be moderate
or like you know, independents who acknowledge climate change like okay,
this is yeah. I think it's just like five trillion
dollars is the only thing that people would be like,
where's that for? Where it's like pay for that? Yeah,
it's like what about the trillions and billions we've given

(39:15):
away from the tax brea or whatever. You're not worried
about us paying for their tax breaks. I still like
that dude's answer in the Fox News trip to Middle
America's diner, where he was just like, well, we paid
for World War Two. We didn't like have a big
We weren't crying about that. Yeah, we didn't have a
bunch of money set aside. And Case Hitler came along.

(39:37):
We figured out a way to address a global crisis
that was like threatening the safety and lives of all
of humanity. Well, maybe we can relax the climate's emotions
through appeasement. Do you, like, what do you want a
blood sacrifice? Yeah? I would ask like how you net
out at zero emissions? Like, are there is there something

(40:00):
you do that drink like sucks the emissions back? Like
because you can't have no emissions. But net zero I'm
assuming means like there's some sort of machine or or
just like freeze, yeah, or probably just emphasizing replanting things,
addressing deforestation things like that, and I'm sure or even
carbon credits or something whatever that is. Does does Mother

(40:24):
Nature honor carbon credits. We're gonna find out when I
pull up with all these carbon credit gift cards out
of volcano, when the magmas consuming my body. Anyways, we
could talk about bullshit like that, but we have to talk.
We have to move on to what is I think
the story of uh, the day, maybe the millennium, maybe
our generation. We're talking, of course about Moby's coming memoir,

(40:49):
in which he brags about having rubbed his dick on
Donald Trump. Yeah, of September eleven. Reason, Yeah, he this
was published in the Daily Beast, like this excerpt from
his as you say, his memoir called it then it
fell apart. I guess it's about his career and oh wow,

(41:14):
I mean, look, I think he's chill. I mean, I've
never been to vegan restaurants. To me, he's just a restaurateur. Yeah,
he's exactly a vegan visionary. Um but you know again, look,
this is about him rubbing his dick on the president.
So he starts off this excerpt with like this, I
guess context. So this is how it starts off. He
goes after September eleven one, the only way in which

(41:36):
I knew how to process my grief was to stay drunk,
do as many drugs as possible, and throw myself into
whatever degeneracy flowed out of New York's perpetually degenerate Spiggott.
Sometimes the degeneracy was gritty and old school, cheap drugs
and dive bars and sex and tetnacy bathrooms. Yeah, he
created a new adjective, uh. And sometimes the degeneracy was

(41:58):
gilded helicopter to Staten Island and parties with billionaires. Uh.
And then he goes on to sort of set this
up and then sort of say like, at the time,
I was super drunk, and I'm still not quote, I'm
still not one umber sure it actually happened. But even
though this happened almost twenty years ago, I'm still perpetually
stunned by the fact that Americans elected as president a
dim witted con man who's only claimed to famous that
he once hosted a medioc reality TV show. So then

(42:20):
we get into the meat of this excerpt. Uh, first
of all, is he trying to establish himself as like
the cool, eligible bachelor bad boy of nine eleven. I
guess I don't know, Like he was like, yeah, dude,
I don't know. It was crazy, was crazy time, harder
than anyone else. Yeah, he's talking about it like and
forget the medical fund, like the Summer of Love, Like

(42:44):
it's just a weird wild man context for a story
about anyway, So we go into it. He's talking to
this woman. Clarisse says, hey, I said, once we were
inside the party, this is where I met David Bowie.
Clarisse's eyes widened. He met David Bowie. Actually, now he's
my neighbor. We wave at each other from our balconies.
What come over later and I'll show you, I told her.
She smiled inscrutably. Uh. Then we go on. Some dude

(43:08):
named Dale comes up. Dale, I said, once we had
ordered drinks, tell Crease about knob touch. First off, you're beautiful,
he told her. That's Dale. That's Dale. Dude, I don't know,
and then she goes, I think I'm worried. That if
you continue this story, I might become a Trump supporter. Well,
get pulled onto your butts. She's a miss us, a

(43:29):
runner up, I said, proud of my new friend. Okay,
Dale continued. Knob touches when you take your penis out
of your pants at up party and brush it up
against someone you, Clarice said, grimacing, And that's sexy. No, no,
he said, seriously, it's not sexual. It's just stupid and
funny and sexual assault. You only you only knob touched
their clothes and the person you knob touched can't know

(43:49):
they've been knob touched. Clarice turned to me, have you
done this? No? I admit it. Okay. Then they go on,
Uh so at this point, you know, he's talking about
like he's been drinking. He's just all over the place.
Nine eleven happened, so he's not doesn't know what to
do like that Tobias Fugate moment and the rest of

(44:09):
development where he's like, I'm not gonna blame it all
on nine eleven, but it certainly didn't help. So they
were at some party, right and they see Donald Trump, right,
So then uh, they go on, moby go knob touch
Donald Trump, He said, really, I asked, should I? Donald
Trump was a mid level real estate developer and tabloid
newspaper staple whose career had recently been resuscitated by a

(44:31):
reality TV show. Yeah, Dale said yeah, Clarice said mischievously. Shit,
I said, realizing I now had to knob touch Donald Trump.
Oh my god. I drank a shot of vodka to
brace myself, pulled my flaccid penis out of my pants,
and casually walked past Trump trying to brush the edge
of his jacket with my penis. Luckily, he didn't seem
to notice or even twitch. And that's so then it

(44:55):
goes on right after. What do you mean there's more? Well,
because there's a nice as we say in a comedy,
there's a nice button on this little bit here. Um,
so it didn't even twitch. I walked back to my
friends in order another drink. Did you do it? Crease asked,
I think so. I think I knobbed touched Donald Trump.
After a few more drinks, I asked, Crease, do you
want to come to my house and see David Bowie's balcony.

(45:17):
That's a pretty good pickup line. Okay, Oh my god,
we've got a cab to head down broad but then
it goes on and then like he gets that girl
or something like he gets this is the story of
how he impressed a woman. Donald that was certainly impressed
a Miss USA runner up doing it. As anybody who's

(45:40):
come to our live show wouldn't know. Donald Trump first
resuscitated his career with a reality show in two thousand four.
So Moby is still time. Doesn't add up still drunk
and doing drugs and pulling his flaccid penis out, talking
about putting a button on something, saying he has a
little dick, and but he's so three years later, he's

(46:05):
still like what happened to him lose his whole family
in nine eleven? No, I don't know. I mean I
get it from being a New Yorker and that happened,
but like, yeah, I don't know the whole thing of Like,
I don't know if you need to connect that to
you trying to justify you pulling your dick out and
rubbing the It's just like Broie, like frat boy shit.

(46:28):
It comes off very nonmobi for what my idea of
Moby is vegan restaurantur very very non mooby dude, very
that's what we always say to each other. That's more
people do something not chill. Well, now that everybody has
that image in their mind, we're going to take a
quick break, bleach our ears real quick. We'll be right

(46:50):
back and we're back in Game of Thrones. You guys,
this is the other cultural event that defined this past weekend,

(47:10):
is defining uh, the the past two hours on Twitter. Um,
there won't be spoilers yet, there will just so you know,
you can keep listening to this if you haven't heard it,
We're just gonna talk around it and then we will
give you the full warning when it's time to spoil
this ship real quick. Do you guys think like enough

(47:33):
time twenty four hours is enough time for a TV
show to spoil it? Like, do you think that's fair
to give people? Like this is such this is an event.
This is like trying to like not have the super
Bowl spoiled the day after the super Bowl, Like yeah,
it feels like that sort of If you're interested in
Game of Thrones, if you're that into it where a

(47:54):
spoiler would suck it up for you, you would drag
your belly across broken glass to try and get a
way to to find a way to see it in time. Wait,
so this are there levels to this when you're asking
twenty four hours, So twenty four hours is TV uh,
and then movies you have two weeks to see the movie.
This is what Vulture. They pulled their they pulled their

(48:15):
readers and seventy of respondents are okay with talking about
a TV show within twenty four hours. Uh. And then
with movies it's seventy eight percent give the okay after
two weeks sixty say one week. So it's I mean,
I think, I think I don't know about twenty four hours. Yeah,
you need at least another like evening because people are

(48:37):
got to work that day and then they can't. It
sounds like a lot of like out of work. People
were responding like yeah, if you're not like because I
was saying, even when I like had twelve hour days
working like production, there would like one game with Thrones
on there would I would literally be working from like
six pm to six am, and then I'll be sleep
most of the time, and then I'll have a very

(48:58):
small window where I can maybe squeeze game with owns
in and then also trying to avoid like people on
the set who had already seen it. But yeah, I
guess I think forty eight is safe at that point. Yeah,
but I mean I don't want to like make it hot.
I don't want to make it bad for people who
have to work or have other time constraints. And this
episode is coming out Tuesday morning, people will have had

(49:19):
Sunday when everybody most people watch, and then Monday night
to get another chance to watch it, unless they're you know,
like doing a crazy long shift, in which case you
have to know that people like stay off Twitter, stay
off social media, just you know, like that's that's the
the price of not having it spoiled. Just give a

(49:41):
about spoilers, Yes, some level, I do, because there's just
you need to have that moment where you truly aren't,
you don't know where you're at, and then you let
the thing resolved and you're like, okay, that's how we
went with it. I hate spoilers. I can't I'll be
so upset. Yeah, I gotta be, I gotta see it first. Well, yeah,
we live in age of weaponized spoilers, because, like I

(50:02):
was seeing on Reddit, people were spamming like the Donald
Trump subreddit with like endgame Avengers, endgame spoilers, and like
people declaring cultural cultural warfare on each other with the
weaponized spoiler. No, but that's what's funny, Like we're at
now are people like I don't know how to funk
with these people's That was the thing I saw a
couple of years ago for Game of Thrones. There was
a substitute teacher that would like, if the kids were misbehaving,

(50:24):
he would like, he read the books, so he was ahead,
and he knew who was going to die and would
write He's going to die next up on the board,
and the kids wouldn't shut up. My god, It's like
this is back when we were behind the books on
the show. Now we're ahead, Now we know what happens.
So I guess are we Should we discuss this in

(50:47):
any any spoiler less spoilers from the from the show
that we can talk about, like, because that'll be I
have to elaborate if I'm going to talk to me. Yeah,
all right, So let's just get into it. Guys. Look,
if y'all look, if you don't want spoilers, and you
you know you're working hard or whatever it is, or
you need to log in skip forward seventeen minutes. So

(51:10):
the big final scene Aria coming from nowhere. I heard
somebody compare it to Dame's last second shot from just
like just coming out of nowhere doing the I also
heard it compared to Jordan's with the hand switched lay up.
I was I was particularly feeling that, Okay, if we

(51:30):
wanted Aria, if we're going to talk about that moment specifically,
that was cool that are killed the night King shout
out to you, are you a few questions? Okay, where
the fund did you come from? My lady? I think
that she was one of the like night Ice night princess.
You think she walked in with the lieutenants. Yeah, because
they do that shout of the one whose hair whisps
past his face like real quick, right before she jumps

(51:53):
in out of nowhere. And I think that's just Wasn't
that her? Was that? Or was that someone like noticing
someone running up? But I think noticing I think that's
what it was. Okay, well forget me then, because so
one problem with that theory that I've heard raised is
that she would have had to have killed one of
those dudes who were kind of laying back like lieutenants,

(52:14):
one of the lieutenants, one of the guys who I
think look like Chris Elliott with long hair. Uh Like,
I love Chris Elliott, but who is that a compliment
to the White Walker? Just like you know when he
plays like somebody with long whispy hair when he's he's

(52:36):
not trying to be a heart throb in those roles,
when he's will gonna ask you with all the breaking
out all over exactly. So one of the possible issues
with that is that we never see her get that
close to those dudes. Those dudes kind of stick close
to the night King where they're sitting back in the
cut the whole time. So she would have had to

(52:56):
have killed one of them to take their face. I
mean another option. Aren't they surrounded by whites already? Yeah,
it looked like a like the like a BT cipher
right there. Couldn't she have just killed a zombie been
one of the people around the She could have, and
that it's run up from there, But it feels like
you would have want to see that moment where you

(53:17):
see a white and you're like, oh, ship, are you
became a white rather than like this really bizarre data sex.
Macina kind of savior moment, which felt Sorry, i'm gonna
say it felt a little lazy to me Game of
Thrones writers, because it was a little too neat that
in one go it's all gone like that in a
way that I felt could have been played out for
a little more drama. Yeah, that's just me. The reasons

(53:38):
I didn't have a problem with it. She knows winner
Fell better than anybody. She grew up like playing there
and is like a badass, and so it's like she's
on her home court. That's how That's how underdogs always
win in battle warfare on the territorfair, on their turf
or on their own turf. So you know who, she
might have dug a tunnel, you know, not not like

(54:01):
live in the moment, but there might be like a
tunnel that only knows about. Yeah, she's she's wildy. Okay,
can we talk a little bit about the battle al right,
So let's talk about the things we liked first, because
I don't want to be like just nitpicking the ship
like right away, Like, okay, fine, what I like? They

(54:22):
were super organized, They were really standing in their straight
lines and layers. Yeah, they people of color ran off
into the night, they definitely sent the people of color first.
All right, we got the first two ways, the slave
army and heathens right with the fire swords. Yeah, the

(54:42):
fire swords shot though when they were all riding off
and you saw it from a distance was fucking. And
then when those all got like slowly extinguished, that was
like very sad ominous because they raised your morale with
Melissandra being like hold up your mother swords and like
ship now we got a little boost, and then off

(55:04):
to being just like that was among Yeah. Like that,
I think they established like a feeling of dread as
good as anything I've ever watched that whole like build up.
What else did I like? I liked the battle between
the dragon and the little girl, I mean that was
fucked up. Or the giant, you mean the giant. I
liked the battle between the giant and the little girl.

(55:26):
Think I did. I had a moment, yeah, because her
bones crunch and then she still yeah she got squeezed,
Yeah she did. How do you think they made that
sound effect? Oh yeah, they just now they have a
chicken day on set for catering, and they had all
the chicken bones and they're like a right here, the fully. Guys,
was like, you're like, is that good? Gives more bones

(55:49):
viscer roll, Yeah, I'm glad. She went out like a
g I mean, house More Mott did their thing. Shout
out to Jorra. That moment actually made me the saddest
fion dying would But he kind of went out like
I didn't care. I was more moved when he told
Yarra he was leaving her to go to back to
winter like I like that, And then I felt he

(56:10):
knew he was gonna die. He was like out here
like a kama kaze. And yeah, I will say you
point out is something that occurred to me in the
moment to uh that his charge his last charge was
not like that was I was like me trying to
beat the Golden State Warriors in a game of one
on five like just like it was just like, you know,

(56:31):
that doesn't even look good to the naked eye, like
trained at all, like um, and I was like literally
at his brother go but with Jora when he died, yo,
I don't know if it was just me, like I
felt like he wanted to tell the Nares he loved her,
but then he just didn't be I know, but I
felt like he had that moment to like he just

(56:52):
basically fucking acted like as a human bulletproof vest against whites.
And then it was like, I don't know, that was
maybe me projecting on him, like I think he was
gonna tell he just died like that, yeah Jesus from Jesus,
and Marrow was pointing out that she was still giving
him the side hug, still being like, oh, but you're
such a good guy. Yeah, I wish you weren't friend

(57:16):
until the end and not the end zone isn't scoring.
The end zone is when you're surrounded by white walkers
and like, hey, can you fight them really quick? Um? So,
one question just on the Aria like coming in and
out of nowhere and Brand being there and the bait

(57:38):
in the end that I think is an unanswered question
that if we get an answer to it, it could
sort of satisfy the question of like how Aria came
out of nowhere? Is where Brand was working too? Like
that that is kind of weird because he wasn't just
like in the Crows the whole time right now, Like
that's the first moment we see in there. Who knows,
unless he was just being a real lazy asshole yeah,

(58:00):
y'all handle this. I'm gonna just kind of work out
to like a beach right yeah. Um yeah, a lot
of people. I remember early on when we first found
out he had warrigability, we were like, oh, man, then
he's gonna work into the dragons, but the dragons are
better at being dragons than he is unless he worked
into the Blue Dragon. Um oh god Like. And it's funny,

(58:22):
right because I liked the episode, but it's one of
those moments where I'm having to reconcile what happened with
what my expectations were, because that last episode had me
fucked up. Before this one, I was like, oh, everyone's dying,
Like they really sold me on that, and for you know,
for not one of like the bigger characters to die,
I felt was a little weird. And also like the

(58:42):
they were sort of the physics of the fight, not
necessarily scientifically, but like I like Gray war On was
literally on the front line, and then cut to my
man retreating and he's like soloing in the in the
middle of winter Fell, like still doing it. I would
love to see body counts for every person. I thought
brand of Tarth died maybe three times. Yeah, she was
on my dead list. I made a big dead list
and then I no, but he died. Yeah. The first

(59:05):
time she got pulled down by those walkers, I was
like great, Yeah, that's like great. But I was like,
this is the severity of this battle that I was
kind of exacted. Is the last shot you see in
a zombie movie and then the next time you see
that person, they are a zombies. And they did that
like twice with her. I was like, okay, we're gonna
see a blue eyed Yeah. No one even had to
kill the zombie version of their best friend or anything.

(59:27):
When they came back to life. It was none of
none of that. John snow terrible general, terrible bad. What
happened to him? My partner, her majesty. She was like,
why didn't they use the dragons first? And I was like, yeah,
I get that, but you know they like one of
them could have got speared, And I was like spinning
my wheels justify like why it was okay? Despite like
when they first pulled up, You're like, I feel like

(59:48):
they should have done that earlier. Yeah, I mean we
didn't know what was back there. It was all dark.
You know, they could have had like a big giant
like anti aircraft spear thing like ready to shoot the
dragon out of the sky. The only thing that I
loved the episode, I thought all the battle stuff, even

(01:00:08):
though like there's some stuff that you can go back
and be like that wasn't the smartest things. And the
whole cavalry like out there at once and just like
blowing all that on the first run, Like that doesn't
totally make sense, but it looked cool as ship and
let them do that thing where they like had the
flames going in and then they were all extinguished and

(01:00:28):
like that was badass. Uh. The thing I can't get
past is the crypt Like everybody saw that coming the
second they were like you were hiding in the crypts.
The one thing we know about the Night King's power
is he's able the dead literally just bring his palms
in an upward motion, right, and he's now weaponized your

(01:00:49):
your grandpa's corpse. That moment was dope on the battlefield
when he just turned to John and the Night King
I think had the best episode. Like the Night King,
she watches it, she's not she watches a little business
kind of when she goes The Night King kind of
has big dick Like he's just like strong, but he
doesn't really say nothing. I mean that he just smirked

(01:01:12):
after those flames. Yeah, him and his generals walking into
that final scene in slow motion was like it reminded
me of the shot and Mean Girls where they're all
like walking down the hall and just like feeling themselves
and like you're like, man, that's what I would wish
I was like in high school. Like they look like
the cool kids in high school walking in there. He

(01:01:32):
was just like kind of even the way he was
swinging his arms was big dick energy. Like, Yeah, it
was just funny that they were like they almost made
it like, hey, maybe the show is about the whites
from now on. It how cool this dude is. Uh,
he's like making jokes like but he was he's definitely
feeling himself. I thought they did a good job with

(01:01:52):
a night king because like that's you know that he's
not the best uh enemy, because he's just like a
monster with no facial expressions, But like, I don't know,
it was it was still cool. It still worked for me.
The crypt should not have surprised fucking anyone, the cleverest
person the realm. What do people think of Sam Wells

(01:02:12):
fighting because my man checked out and I'm a little
upset at him. So he was literally like on a
pilot dead bodies. Yeah, I feel like one of people like, Yo,
my man, that's a regular dude who's already dead. Uh,
that's that's still my guy, I think, because I totally

(01:02:35):
that's what I would be doing in battle is faking
dead and then just like stabbing anything that moved next
to me, even if it was like my brother in arms.
Uh So yeah, yeah, I get it. Even though Yeah,
I remember when I just watching something at the SYNC
and I turned around, you had a knife like this,
and You're like, oh, then just watching some Game of Thrones? Um,

(01:02:55):
the I guess looking forward, now, this is what I
asked for? Do we think now? I mean, because John
snow does not look like he's ready for that throne?
No man. Uh And so at first I was like, oh, no,
it's John, Like are we making are we making it
look like John's gonna end up on the Iron throne?
And now I feel like Denies kind of has like
a claim to be like you know what, bro, you

(01:03:15):
didn't I know? I am rooting for Denies to shake
his ass. Out, that would be great. I I have
a weird thing where but I have called Sansa as
the winner, and yeah, I got nothing on it. But
that's my that's my big twist calls the whole thing.
When you think about the show, like from beginning to end,
it's sort of the story of the Starks. So I

(01:03:36):
mean that would if they're going to do a traditional
like happy ending, like everybody gets what you were hoping
they would get, or like some version of it, I
feel like that would make the most sense, either John
Snow or one of the Starks ending up on the throne.
And we already got one of the Starks killing the
main bag guy. But I'm so invested in Denies being

(01:03:59):
throne fucking the whole thing. The whole show has been
about her moving heaven and Earth to get there, and
if they play or like that, I don't that that
could be a I don't know. I mean, I'm sure
it's like any show, like it's never gonna be the
way you think it's gonna end. But it would be
a shame to have a character like so dope and
has like a very clear mission for to fall apart,

(01:04:20):
but she can't die. Yeah, well now that I got
what I want. Well, well, now we thought that, like
I thought so many people were going to die last night,
and then they just didn't. So you know, I'm happy
with three episodes to play the game of Throne. But
at least we get click gameble now, yeah, we get
a game ball. I'm like, seriously, is a great character

(01:04:42):
When she's like sucking people over and just like you know,
doing smart like she does earn her reputation as being
very canny and clever. Oh yeah, so I I like
her fighting against John, fighting against Denarius, you know, like
those being the three sides, It's going to be interesting.

(01:05:04):
It does make me think there was a question for
me after the show outpaced the books, we stopped having
those really like visceral horrifying things happen to characters we liked,
you know, like the Red Wedding and the Mountain and
now the mountain dying and then being brought back. I

(01:05:28):
mean we all love the mountain, right what he did
the dude who was like, yea, yeah, what's called the
sand snake? The sandier was? What was that called the
viper in the mountain or something? So combat I guess
one question I've had is like whether they're going to
sort of bend things more towards Hollywood ending, because now

(01:05:51):
they are just trying to and now it's a global phenomenon,
so you can't just like have That's what And the
fact that every character we like have an investment in
survived last night, and that was so the crypt And
then the other thing was that we would see like
Jamie or Brienne just like being piled on and then
they just like somebody else would come up and just

(01:06:12):
be like slash slash slash, and they'd all fall away.
It's like, what are they doing on just hugging you?
It's actually not that bad guys, They're just they just
want kisses. Right, But yeah, because I saw people like
right them like, yo, they're cowards. Because I think they
were thinking that the show runners were considering the pushback
from viewers if they were to take out a Tyrian

(01:06:34):
or a sense like we're here for them to die.
It's like, motherfucker, if we were here after the Red Wedding,
where the fun we're going? Right? The thing that's great
about this show is that anything can happen. And I
guess my question is whether anything can still and look
into that. All I can say is, guys, we just
don't know. We just don't know how this will end.

(01:06:55):
This is the latest smaller report. Yeah, this is our rip. Well, Kimmy,
it's been a pleasure having you talking Game of Thrones
with you. Um, where can people find you? You can
follow me on Instagram at child clown that's right, don't forget,
and then Twitter same thing, child clown underscore because some

(01:07:15):
other freak decided to be child clown first. Who's squatting
one I have? They have like they're still the egg
photos nobody. I gotta kick him out. I don't know
what to do. So so that's that. Oh, you can
also watch Abbey's on NBC Thursdays at It's a fun comedy.

(01:07:36):
Yeah we got look, we got bona fide TV actors
and I know, raising the status of this show. We
went from second rate to in between first and second rate,
first and a half, first and a half rate. And Kimmy,
is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Oh it's not
a tweet. I don't actually think this is a niche account,

(01:07:57):
but forty one strange. I forget the handle there, I'll
find it right now. They are just posting crazy weird
facts or like pictures birds, which I brought up last
time I was here. Uh, it's yeah, it's at forty
one strange. Uh. Like the last thing I found from
them is uh, during the Victorian era, special cups were

(01:08:17):
made to keep your mustache out of the tea. And
then they have pictures of a cup that literally has
a mustache shaped a guard over the sipping part so
that you can still drink the drink, but your mustache
doesn't look like it does look like cup. But they'll
post like a bunch of crazy stuff, like weird art
or like you never knew this animal existed? Now check

(01:08:38):
look at this dragons. It's just like, yeah, it's fun.
They're just weird fun facts. Um, and we'll find the
cool stuff. Ye. Strange. Yeah, Miles, where can people find you?

Andrew T at Andrew T, he says my soul take

(01:09:00):
way from Avengers is that true heroes driving out? Yeah,
And then another one from Lacey Mosley at Diva Lacey.
She said, a guy met on a dating app who
I've never met in real life, insisted on coming to
my improv show with his sister. They left five minutes
before the show was over because his sister was too high.
I don't have a take. My life is just weird. Ye,

(01:09:21):
what a weird asked thing to even hear, like what happened? Like, oh,
my sister got too high five minutes before. Although that's
kind of understandable given the show, right, Like doesn't everybody
get super high at that show. It wasn't that I
think that show. It wasn't even that show. It was
just a banging show. Yeah, so weird, I guess. Then
then it makes you think of like what that was

(01:09:42):
like before that, Like we're gonna go see comedy, like
let's get fucked up, right, and then so uncomfortable that
we have to be sometimes, Uh, for those of us
who have panic attacks when we use cannabish, you can
accidentally get that fucked up. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm
just glad he but are proud enough, are owning it

(01:10:02):
enough that they're just like, I gotta get out of
here because I I used to just be like in
my own skin. Oh yeah, yeah, like you just tucked
it out and they're like, yeah, that was the worst
