Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Freddy
Got trendered that one silver So if I said this
on the podcast before, but like that's a vocal stem
for me. Would you like something something? Would you like
some sausage jazz? I never even saw the movie, but
(00:22):
that was like in the trailer and it was just
like burned in my brain and I wake up with
just random ship going through my brain all the time.
And when my kids were little and calling me daddy, uh,
I was just constantly like, daddy, would you like some
sausage jazz? And they were, of course immediately like what
what the what is that from? He is from this movie?
(00:46):
Freddy got.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Like Freddie and guy Freddy got Freddy got, Freddy got fingers,
Freddy got attached to strings that have sausages on them,
and then he's playing the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I just rewatched that scene though, to prep and it's
holds up to prep. I gotta I gotta watch that ship.
I gotta watch that movie.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Looks like Pioneer.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
We don't have corn, we don't have modern shiptheadedness without
Tom Green's contribution with his show, Like there's no Jackass
without Tom Green.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Like you know what I mean like.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That sort of like I don't know, do we got
a camera and let's just fun.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, my name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is
mister Miles. This is the episode where we tell you
what was trending this morning, and we're gonna start off
with a continuation of a trend we were talking about yesterday,
which is a little bit of back pedlage ped lim
(01:45):
from the administration. Dude, it seems like the resistance in
Minnesota caught their attention.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I will say, you know, like it definitely seems
like now people in the regime think that killing innocent
people for being in proxity midi of ice is a
bad look.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Is a bad look. Yeah, it is a bad on
camera from like nine different angles. But now they have
to they're like, not not our best angle.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Could we keep that in mind because a lot of
the things you're going to hear and we're going to
talk about are about.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Changing the look of things and how we perceive them.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Because the first thing, too is Trump is trying to
change the sort of narrative here to make it seem
like typical Trump abuser shit, which is like I'm a
creative crisis and then I'm going to act like I
saved y'all from the thing that I did to everybody
on YEA, which is.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That it was it was this entire platform for this,
for this administration. Only I can solve the problems that
I've caused.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
He's beer the cause of and solution to all of
life's problems. But you know, like take Trump's posts about
talking to Tim Wallas on Monday. He like worded it
as if things were getting two out of hand because
of the leaders of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
So he had to come in as peacemaker, bring the
bull volume down.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
He doesn't want anybody to get hurt, except when he's
talking about there will be a reckoning for these people
just mere weeks ago. So he's bringing the temperature down, sure,
jan And then so I think a lot of this
too is if you watched Fox and Friends or other
things too, a lot of those brainless as scabs on
Fox were like, oh my god, he's so presidential because
(03:20):
he's trying to make bring the heat down on the situation.
One bit of good news is that all of the
people who have been vocal about ice and resisting and
demonstrating they have successfully changed the narrative enough the perception
of what's happening to be nudged towards reality rather than
the propaganda take that we get from the FEDS. That
(03:41):
the regime can't just act like this is a small
group of people getting out of hand. They are now
having to be like, oh shit, a fucking I mean,
they always knew this. I think they just thought their
playbook of like doubling down was going to work again.
But because of all the outrage, rightly so, Greg Bovino
has been moved from his role as born patrol.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Commander at Large uh and roll return to his former
job in El Centro, California, where he's expected to retire soon.
Aw yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Love to That's a that's a real sacking, you know.
Like it's not like we're we're moving him over here
to like focus on tot he He's got sent to
his old job to retire. Yep, go away, doctor mister
Cody Johnston from some more news posted on Twitter, like
(04:33):
Greg Bavino being shown to his new office and it's
uh yeah, afternoon that I can't let you go past
what you wrote here though. They want to show Trump
behaving presidential and how is he behaving.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I said, he's Trump is behaving President demential, A new,
a new turn of phrase.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I can't let you just spike that joke. You know,
it's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I've written it a few times, and I wrote it
on Blue Sky, and I don't think I don't think
people caught what I was trying to say.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I think they just print look like a typo. Yeah,
it looks like the first time I read it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Sorry, folks, Look I live between the lines.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You know, Oh buddy, look he's behaving.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But the other thing, too, is the DHS has also
taken Bovino's access to social media because on Sunday he
was just clapping back at people who were like, you're
a piece of ship like this, you're lying, and they're like,
this guy is a fucking mess. As if we needed
this to the guy was wearing a fucking Gestapo esque
trench coat, like a custom made it's not standard uniform
(05:48):
for border patrol. He did it to look like fucking
Olberstone Banfi Gregory Bovino. And then I don't know if
you said there was another clip, I didn't. I couldn't
even bother because there's so much bullshit coming out of Minneapol,
where he tried to throw a tear gas canister at
fucking at protesters or just demonstrate whatever fucking people in
the street, and he like can't get the pin out
(06:10):
to throw it, and then he's like.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
He throws, and he's like, gas gas gas.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
The weakest fucking week I've ever seen, only for the
wind to blow that ship right back on them anyway,
so he's gas gas.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Gas gas gas.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Guess just like somebody who's never picked up a baseball,
who's like a famous musician going out to throw the
first ditch.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It would be like a European classical violinist throwing out
the first pitch with their wrong hand right where it's
like everything's going against you.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You're an app you're not even an athlete.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're from Europe, where like baseball overhand throwing isn't like
a monotony that people know, same how American people don't,
who don't know how to kick a ball in America.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yes, yeah, exactly, that's yeah. I had a friend, uh
in high school, came over from Turkey one year as
like an exchange student, and we were like playing this
game where you throw the ball on the roof of
the dorm and then it like bounces down and if
you like and like it was wild to be like, wow,
throwing a baseball is a very unnatural thing if you
(07:16):
don't know how to do it. I was just like, yo, yeah,
the arm motion is.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Just like even in like in soccer matches in England,
like the like the ball will go into the stands
and someone has to throw it to a ball boy
and you know like like here you go, bro, Yeah
it's right back a lot of underhand yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Then go right. But then he could have like booted
it easily. Yeah, yeah, whereas we I look so stupid
trying to play soccer.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That's that's so funny when you see like American athletes
try and kick a ball because it's so fucking into
breaking their toes or some ship.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Everyone's like, we should put Lebron on the foot on
the US soccer team. Yeah, for what you kind of
need to like roll out of your mom onto a
soccer pitch just because the level of like natural myth that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You're not you're not really you're not gonna you're not
gonna build that in the off season.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
But anyway, and.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Just because Wayne Rooney had a hair transplant doesn't mean
Lebron James is also good at soccer, just the same
way Wayne Rooney could not hoop because he had a transplant,
like Lebron did believe he could.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Wayne Rooney was just fucking awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
If that was it, I would be I would get
a hair transplant so quick, and I would be be like, yo, bro,
get me out here, put me in the arsenal kit, bro,
I got something to do. Meanwhile, though, with DHS Christy
Noman and her freak boyfriend, Corey Lewandowski, who like they're
they're you know there, there's like a bunch of weird shit.
I mean yeah. They may have also won free tickets
(08:45):
to the Be Thrown under the Bus show because right
now now we don't know yet. But they did have
a two hour meeting with Trump on Monday, which is
a lot of time considering this guy's brain is fall
off the skull, right, Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Two hours, I mean, how much of that was nap time?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Is them just being like, just stay stay here. When
he wakes up, he won't notice that he fell asleep.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's out here. Just put the bunker scene from downfall
on again on a loop. He loves it because he
didn't speak German. He doesn't realize it's it's a rap
for Hitler.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
In that scene, they also talked about I guess like
the A lot of the conversation was around how do
we reorient this racist terror campaign into something just as
racist but maybe less terror.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, seemed to be what the meat of that conversation was.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
However, Trump just like dink the shower handle temperature down
a little, like you don't wanna you don't want to
change the You just want.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
To auchi right now. A little auchi right now is
how they look at it. But apparently their jobs are
not at risk. But I don't think again that doesn't
mean anything because he probably already forgot what the meeting
was about.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So other great news guys screaming.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Fuck you, asshole, he shit, you want an American fuck
bad get fucked you lightweight plan want to be is
actually working to make the job of ICE agent shitty. Apparently,
in the weeks following Goods murder and the immediate aftermath
of Pretties, many agents have felt like the agency is
making life harder for them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Making life harder for them, Yeah, because the rhetoric quality
of life surveys.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's also like, dude, how about the way you guys
behave do you think the either way? So this is
from the Independent, quote morales plummeting among federal LA enforcement
officers tasked with carrying out the Trump administration's aggressive anti
immigration operation, as they complained that long hours, ambitious arrest quotas.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And hatred from the public.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They also said many of them have grown quote disillusioned
with the tactics being implemented by leadership.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So wow, I like that not mentioned. There's inability to
sleep at night, the cries of the children that we've
ripped away from their parents and put into concentration camps.
But I feel like that's maybe underlying the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I don't know how these people can work there.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I mean, there was at one of the detention camps
in Texas that had a bunch of children, there was
like an uprising with the children that were being detained. Yeah,
like they were like actively protesting within it. And you
can hear like there was a lawyer there who is
going going to see a client and he was rushed
out and then just started recording, recording.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
And you can hear these kids fucking screaming libertad like freedom.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's I don't know how the I can't even like
hear the clip and be not fucked up and have
like shitty goosebumps like hearing children screaming for like pleading,
like their voices are cracking from how intense their screams
are asking to be freed. Let alone being the fucking
asshole who's sitting there in there with your fucking baton
with your arms crossed right, be like yeah, hit down
(11:52):
or whatever, fucking scumbag anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So children concentration camp, just yes, that's what that is.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And again it's not new because we've been doing this,
but hey, let's let's try and fucking solve it this time.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Meanwhile, big fuck Face himself is even out here trying
to rewrite history.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
He went from saying Pretty.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Was dangerous and what was he doing coming with a
fully loaded weapon to now softer takes like this. He
was asked about, Hey, what what's going on with Alex Pretty?
And what what do you think is the way the
administration is going to handle this?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Here's buck Face, and I loved everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I love all of our people.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I love his family, and it's a very sad situation.
I'm looking at the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I love everybody, I love our people, I love his family,
and it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Damn, it was a little bit different, wasn't it. Wasn't
he a domestic terrorist? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Before he also has apparently said that there should be
an investigation, like but more like a real transparent one.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Doctify.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Well, you know what a big investigation. I want to
beat the investigation. I'm gonna be watching oligar and I
want a story, honorable and honest investigation.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, did you say transparent? I don't know if
I heard transp I.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Think I think Caroline Levitt said that yesterday when she's
she was backpend like a motherfucker too. Right after we
played one of her clips, she said another thing where
she was like.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Look, we don't want anybody to get hurt out here.
That's like the last thing we want. And it was
such a different.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Tackling form, tackling people and spring them point blank in
the face with chemical iry tints. We don't want anybody
to get hurt. Oh my god, that was your plan?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
A was Oh my god? You thought that's what we
were trying to do. Oh, this is so.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, Well we gotta I gotta talk to Gregory now
I'm gonna have to so again about that investigation. The
details around the investigation are already super fucked like for starters,
the FEDS are keeping state investigators out despite having a warrant.
And also no one knows where Alex Pretty's phone or
gun is because there's no documented chain of custody over
(14:08):
the evidence, So who the fuck.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Knows what they're trying to do with all that?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And Keith Ellison, who's the Attorney General of Minnesota, got
a restraining order against the government to prevent them from
fucking with evidence. But the regime is in court trying
to fight this as we speak right now. So I
don't know how transparent that's going to be. Again, it's
a bunch of fucking words extra judicial.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I love attention of court orders at all, but he
loves them, and that should make you feel better.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Mm hmmmm hmm.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Exactly, It's going to be very transparent to me. I
will be able to see it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Nobody else I will, and I will be able to
decide what is transparent and what is.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Opaque, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But yeah, also they're they're rolling out. I mean you
can see a huge change in how ICE is behaving
on the ground because they jumped to this one guy's car.
Maybe yeah, what if? Fuck?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
This is the damage control is so wild. ICE is
posting alleged good Samaritan content about how their agents actually
do nice things for people while.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Armed and masked up the lowest possible bar for calling
someone a good Samaritan.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, like, honestly, and again, I'm gonna read this, but
it it reads like AI fucking swap.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
First of all, this was posted on Monday, right, so
this is after Alex Pretty's murder. So this is them,
like on Monday, trying to bring the temperature down with
this picture. It's a picture of people like in the
snow with the hoods of their cars open, it said.
On January twenty second, during record breaking cold temperatures in Chakope, Minnesota,
ICE officers pulled into a local parking lot and noticed
(15:48):
a man experiencing car trouble. After discovering that his vehicle
had a dead battery, the officers quickly offered their assistance,
using jumper cables from their own vehicle, and with help
from another community member, they successfully jump started the car.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There's that love that dash right there, M dash.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Love and M dash ensuring he could safely continue on
his way.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Okay first of all, but just the lowest level of goods. Man,
I've helped someone jump their car before and haven't even
like felt good about myself.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's just a thing.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I help someone jump the car and they had
the cables. I just had to pop my hood. They're like, hey, man,
can you I'll just I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, it is a nothing thing.
It requires you to stop for five minutes and like
gun the engine for a second and just like talk
to another person. That's it. The fact that they also
hit a with help from another community member in there
is pretty fun. Like I want to know, I really
(16:50):
want to know this version, the version of events from
the person who needed the jump, because it certainly feels
like they jumped in on a They're like, hey, we're
we're here looking for some good photo ops. What do
we do here? A one man job? They couldn't even
pull it off without like help.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, it's just weird seeing a masked goon and attack
vest like not he's not even jumping the car. It
looked like the guy is. So it's like this guy's
just like lording over this person. It doesn't look helpful,
just like.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Holding him at gunpoint to make sure nothing funny.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Has smile fucking smile, fucking smile good Samaritan. Right, I
think Look, it's three possibilities. It's completely staged, right, and
who knows who, Like they're just like, yeah, I'm a
fucking let's just do this. Uh it actually happened and
somehow we gotta yeah, exactly can we can we pose
(17:41):
with you? Or third, which could maybe if this has happened,
maybe there were two Minnesotans helping each other out and
the Ice agents rolled up and we're like, hey, you
need a hand and they're like, dude, go get a
fucking dog up, you fucking loser.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
And they're like, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Or they to do it. And because they appear to
be the dumbest fucking people on the planet, just a
bunch of keys cross stuffy. Yeah, they had the cables
like attached to the fucking windshield wipe or fluid tank.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So yeah, again they're desperate considering that they're they were
posting Nazi memes on Maine right to now like, oh,
we're like triple A for like stranded roadside people and
we care. I think is a good indication that they
know they've completely lost the country in terms of like
(18:35):
the morality of it and the support.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
However, this is just another reason for them.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
They just have to go back in the lab and
figure out how do we make it look more respectable
to the public while.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
We can kind of continue to do this shit.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But again, I don't know if that's what they want,
because part of the whole reason to have ICE do
these raids like this was to create this sense, like
this really acute sense of error in people to really
establish their strength. And now Tom Homan is in charge,
and I was reading that like him and Nome don't
get along because tom Homan was just more like you
(19:09):
need like less. He's like because he worked in border
prol long times, like you need more frictionless operations, Like
you're you're you're trying to make it as gross as possible,
not to say Tom Homan is like reasonable, He's just
like the.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Way the way you don't get trouble.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
For achieving the objective we claim to be wanting to do.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Right exactly exactly, So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
But yeah, drunken barncat Tom Holman is on the ground
in Minnesota now, so we'll see what comes of that.
But again, I think really important to like, this is
absolutely a victory for for everybody who resisted this Ice occupation. Yeah,
on a small level, right, because you did get one
of the most odious figures out. That doesn't change their
(19:51):
mission as an organization. But again, a demonstration that even
the regime is having.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
To be like, Okay, fuck like this. We thought we
could go that hard, but maybe we can't. But I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I wouldn't say that this is a total collapse of
vice or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But hey, small victories about all victories.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
But victories can happen when people get together and organize
as people and don't wait for the Democrats to figure
out how to do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
They're waiting for us.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think Chris Murphy actually said something really interesting he's
the Senator from Connecticut, which is basically like, if the
Democrats can't be perceived as doing something tangibly in such
an acute crisis as of right now, people are going
to fully abandon politics. And I'm like, buddy, buddy, it's
happening right now. So if you're looking for some tangible action,
(20:44):
you guys better fucking do something the.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Figure out yesterday, and when you come to power, you
need to still be about that action or else this
shit's just going to keep happening over again. And part
of that action needs to be actual, transparent investigations into
the people who are responsible for these war crimes on
their fellow citizens. All right, let's take a quick break,
(21:08):
we'll come back, We'll talk about Kanye. It's been a while.
We'll be right back, and we're back. So Kanye West
took out a full page ad in the Wall Street
(21:28):
Journal apologizing, claiming that he just wanted to reach the
black community, and so took out a full page ad
in the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Black and Jewish community.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah yeah, And he has said that his latest years
of outbursts were the result of his bipolar disorder, which
we have heard before, and I think at this point
everyone assumes that those actions are coming from a place
of unwellness. But he's also adding the car crash that
happened into the and two to the things that are
(22:03):
wrong with his brain.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, he said he potentially had a frontal lobe injury.
Was never talked about.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, it was never diagnosed with that treated, which I
don't like not to say anything about, like well this
excuses anything, but I do think, like there there's really
interesting shit on, like brain injuries and like how when
somebody suffers a brain injury. Like the most famous story
(22:31):
is Phineas Gage, who like got a railroad spike through
his eye like coming out his brain, but like survived
and was studied extensively and had like a total personality change,
And it was like one of the first times that
people were like, oh so if you take that part out,
(22:53):
like this is what happens to the human's ability to
behave normally or what happens there personality? A lot of
things with impulse control can happen.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
With Wasn't that way the same thing with like Charles Whitman,
the University of Texas shooter, he had said yet a
brain tumor.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That was like he had a brain tumor, ye against it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And he was like in his note, He's like, dude,
I don't know what the fuck's going on with me?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
He's like, I just can't I can't stop myself.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, I totally I think that's all valid. I think,
you know, if that's if that's his truth, so be it.
But again it okay, yeah, the damage is like, look, motherfucker,
the damage is done.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And oh yeah no I'm not.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Saying yeah yeah, yeah, no no.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And I think, look, if this is, if this was
actually written by him, I think that's great. It's an
interesting look into his his his personal life or whatever.
But man, just go fucking go be somewhere and get
right and don't bother anybody, do it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You got enough money gold, you don't need to do
anything publicly anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Maybe I'm sure you were dying to probably regain some
semblance of star power that you once had. But unfortunately,
like like as you mentioned in your letter, this has
kind of put you in a situation where even your
own fans or former fans are like, I don't bro
I don't even feel there, man, Like just I mean,
you really called Hyle Hitler, you know in this last
(24:17):
bout of mania that is like Nick Quents' favorite song,
you know, like all those people really took it as
a mainstreaming of They're like, guys, we got Kanye now
like this we're good guys, this disturbed black man agrees
with us. We've done it. We've reached the main stream.
Like that's not nothing, and we didn't really talk about it.
(24:39):
But you know, there's this clip of Nick Fuentez and
Andrew Tait and this otherfuckers Sneako and this looks Maxer
dude like Clovicular, whatever the fuck his name is. They
were in a club in Miami playing that shit. Yeah,
and the fallout from that was another moment where these
people that were like, hey, bro, the ship's mainstream cut
to hey, you've been banned from every resh and fucking
(25:01):
club in the city.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Nobody wants you here, get the fuck out forever.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
And they're like, oh, man, whatever you like, I don't
even care at aug Yeah, and then Kanye even told
him please don't play that song.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
So like just going with the brain injury theory, because
the first thing that we ever heard from Kanye other
than you know, producing the Blueprint, but like the first
time we heard of him as an artist was Through
the Wire, which was a song written and performed like
in the aftermath of that car accident, and like that
Rolling Stone had a thing a couple of years ago
(25:34):
that I found surprising at the time that he's been
telling people that he worked with like they've been protecting
the truth of his like Nazi fandom and affinity for
Hitler since the beginning of his career essentially like since
the early two thousands, and they say it like goes
back to two thousand and two, which is like shockingly early,
(25:57):
but also exactly when the car craft happened. Sure, so
I don't know, Like if a car accident, if a
brain injury like just affects your impulse control and your
ability to like self regulate, is just a kind of
a damning thing to like see about our culture. Like
I remember when Kanye was in the peak of his
(26:18):
fame and Trump was rising, and it was like, Oh,
these guys are both just riding a rocket chip made
of pathological narcissism, right right, right, and like it feels
like that is the cheap code for our current society.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah, no, it's true, it's true.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
And I mean that was and that was his so
much of his appeal as an artist was his exuberance
and pathological levels of confidence right, were inspiring to many
people's like, yeah, bro, he makes me feel and I
get that too. I remember that too, Like I was
in the midst of like feeling I wanted to drop
out of college when I when college dropout came out
(26:56):
and feeling like no, this is I can gasp myself
up and can fucking accomplish whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
But yeah, it seems like there's a there's a double
edged sword to that.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
And I think, honestly, like, you know, I believe in
the people's capacity to change and heal, so I hope
he's able to do that.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
But he did this in twenty twenty three just before.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, it's and so it's starting to feel a little
like that Mister Show sketch where David Cross is like
a a reformed gay pastor right, like keeps going back
and forth, like the video of him being like I
was fucking so many dicks and then coming back and
be like I was absolutely wrong. I know that said. Yeah,
(27:37):
it's just like kind of a feels like this.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's exhausting, and I think anybody cool, Yeah, dealing with
people like family with mental illness or addiction, it kind
of have the similar ebbs and flows. So Like I said, Kanye,
just go get better, bro. Just take care of yourself,
you know, and take it easy. Don't worry about it.
Nobody's looking for you. Yeah, so just go ahead.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But all right, those are some of the things that
are trending on this Tuesday, January twenty seventh. We are
back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get your vaccines, well you still can't get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (28:17):

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Freddy
Got trendered that one silver So if I said this
on the podcast before, but like that's a vocal stem
for me. Would you like something something? Would you like
some sausage jazz? I never even saw the movie, but
(00:22):
that was like in the trailer and it was just
like burned in my brain and I wake up with
just random ship going through my brain all the time.
And when my kids were little and calling me daddy, uh,
I was just constantly like, daddy, would you like some
sausage jazz? And they were, of course immediately like what
what the what is that from? He is from this movie?
(00:46):
Freddy got.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Like Freddie and guy Freddy got Freddy got, Freddy got fingers,
Freddy got attached to strings that have sausages on them,
and then he's playing the thing.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I just rewatched that scene though, to prep and it's
holds up to prep. I gotta I gotta watch that ship.
I gotta watch that movie.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Looks like Pioneer.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
We don't have corn, we don't have modern shiptheadedness without
Tom Green's contribution with his show, Like there's no Jackass
without Tom Green.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Like you know what I mean like.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That sort of like I don't know, do we got
a camera and let's just fun.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, my name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is
mister Miles. This is the episode where we tell you
what was trending this morning, and we're gonna start off
with a continuation of a trend we were talking about yesterday,
which is a little bit of back pedlage ped lim
(01:45):
from the administration. Dude, it seems like the resistance in
Minnesota caught their attention.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah, I will say, you know, like it definitely seems
like now people in the regime think that killing innocent
people for being in proxity midi of ice is a
bad look.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Is a bad look. Yeah, it is a bad on
camera from like nine different angles. But now they have
to they're like, not not our best angle.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Could we keep that in mind because a lot of
the things you're going to hear and we're going to
talk about are about.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Changing the look of things and how we perceive them.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Because the first thing, too is Trump is trying to
change the sort of narrative here to make it seem
like typical Trump abuser shit, which is like I'm a
creative crisis and then I'm going to act like I
saved y'all from the thing that I did to everybody
on YEA, which is.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
That it was it was this entire platform for this,
for this administration. Only I can solve the problems that
I've caused.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
He's beer the cause of and solution to all of
life's problems. But you know, like take Trump's posts about
talking to Tim Wallas on Monday. He like worded it
as if things were getting two out of hand because
of the leaders of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
So he had to come in as peacemaker, bring the
bull volume down.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
He doesn't want anybody to get hurt, except when he's
talking about there will be a reckoning for these people
just mere weeks ago. So he's bringing the temperature down, sure,
jan And then so I think a lot of this
too is if you watched Fox and Friends or other
things too, a lot of those brainless as scabs on
Fox were like, oh my god, he's so presidential because
(03:20):
he's trying to make bring the heat down on the situation.
One bit of good news is that all of the
people who have been vocal about ice and resisting and
demonstrating they have successfully changed the narrative enough the perception
of what's happening to be nudged towards reality rather than
the propaganda take that we get from the FEDS. That
(03:41):
the regime can't just act like this is a small
group of people getting out of hand. They are now
having to be like, oh shit, a fucking I mean,
they always knew this. I think they just thought their
playbook of like doubling down was going to work again.
But because of all the outrage, rightly so, Greg Bovino
has been moved from his role as born patrol.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Commander at Large uh and roll return to his former
job in El Centro, California, where he's expected to retire soon.
Aw yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Love to That's a that's a real sacking, you know.
Like it's not like we're we're moving him over here
to like focus on tot he He's got sent to
his old job to retire. Yep, go away, doctor mister
Cody Johnston from some more news posted on Twitter, like
(04:33):
Greg Bavino being shown to his new office and it's
uh yeah, afternoon that I can't let you go past
what you wrote here though. They want to show Trump
behaving presidential and how is he behaving.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I said, he's Trump is behaving President demential, A new,
a new turn of phrase.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I can't let you just spike that joke. You know,
it's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I've written it a few times, and I wrote it
on Blue Sky, and I don't think I don't think
people caught what I was trying to say.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I think they just print look like a typo. Yeah,
it looks like the first time I read it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Sorry, folks, Look I live between the lines.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You know, Oh buddy, look he's behaving.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But the other thing, too, is the DHS has also
taken Bovino's access to social media because on Sunday he
was just clapping back at people who were like, you're
a piece of ship like this, you're lying, and they're like,
this guy is a fucking mess. As if we needed
this to the guy was wearing a fucking Gestapo esque
trench coat, like a custom made it's not standard uniform
(05:48):
for border patrol. He did it to look like fucking
Olberstone Banfi Gregory Bovino. And then I don't know if
you said there was another clip, I didn't. I couldn't
even bother because there's so much bullshit coming out of Minneapol,
where he tried to throw a tear gas canister at
fucking at protesters or just demonstrate whatever fucking people in
the street, and he like can't get the pin out
(06:10):
to throw it, and then he's like.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
He throws, and he's like, gas gas gas.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
The weakest fucking week I've ever seen, only for the
wind to blow that ship right back on them anyway,
so he's gas gas.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Gas gas gas.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Guess just like somebody who's never picked up a baseball,
who's like a famous musician going out to throw the
first ditch.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It would be like a European classical violinist throwing out
the first pitch with their wrong hand right where it's
like everything's going against you.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You're an app you're not even an athlete.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're from Europe, where like baseball overhand throwing isn't like
a monotony that people know, same how American people don't,
who don't know how to kick a ball in America.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yes, yeah, exactly, that's yeah. I had a friend, uh
in high school, came over from Turkey one year as
like an exchange student, and we were like playing this
game where you throw the ball on the roof of
the dorm and then it like bounces down and if
you like and like it was wild to be like, wow,
throwing a baseball is a very unnatural thing if you
(07:16):
don't know how to do it. I was just like, yo, yeah,
the arm motion is.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Just like even in like in soccer matches in England,
like the like the ball will go into the stands
and someone has to throw it to a ball boy
and you know like like here you go, bro, Yeah
it's right back a lot of underhand yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Then go right. But then he could have like booted
it easily. Yeah, yeah, whereas we I look so stupid
trying to play soccer.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That's that's so funny when you see like American athletes
try and kick a ball because it's so fucking into
breaking their toes or some ship.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Everyone's like, we should put Lebron on the foot on
the US soccer team. Yeah, for what you kind of
need to like roll out of your mom onto a
soccer pitch just because the level of like natural myth that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You're not you're not really you're not gonna you're not
gonna build that in the off season.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
But anyway, and.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Just because Wayne Rooney had a hair transplant doesn't mean
Lebron James is also good at soccer, just the same
way Wayne Rooney could not hoop because he had a transplant,
like Lebron did believe he could.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Wayne Rooney was just fucking awesome.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
If that was it, I would be I would get
a hair transplant so quick, and I would be be like, yo, bro,
get me out here, put me in the arsenal kit, bro,
I got something to do. Meanwhile, though, with DHS Christy
Noman and her freak boyfriend, Corey Lewandowski, who like they're
they're you know there, there's like a bunch of weird shit.
I mean yeah. They may have also won free tickets
(08:45):
to the Be Thrown under the Bus show because right
now now we don't know yet. But they did have
a two hour meeting with Trump on Monday, which is
a lot of time considering this guy's brain is fall
off the skull, right, Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Two hours, I mean, how much of that was nap time?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Is them just being like, just stay stay here. When
he wakes up, he won't notice that he fell asleep.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
He's out here. Just put the bunker scene from downfall
on again on a loop. He loves it because he
didn't speak German. He doesn't realize it's it's a rap
for Hitler.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
In that scene, they also talked about I guess like
the A lot of the conversation was around how do
we reorient this racist terror campaign into something just as
racist but maybe less terror.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, seemed to be what the meat of that conversation was.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
However, Trump just like dink the shower handle temperature down
a little, like you don't wanna you don't want to
change the You just want.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
To auchi right now. A little auchi right now is
how they look at it. But apparently their jobs are
not at risk. But I don't think again that doesn't
mean anything because he probably already forgot what the meeting
was about.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So other great news guys screaming.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Fuck you, asshole, he shit, you want an American fuck
bad get fucked you lightweight plan want to be is
actually working to make the job of ICE agent shitty. Apparently,
in the weeks following Goods murder and the immediate aftermath
of Pretties, many agents have felt like the agency is
making life harder for them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Making life harder for them, Yeah, because the rhetoric quality
of life surveys.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's also like, dude, how about the way you guys
behave do you think the either way? So this is
from the Independent, quote morales plummeting among federal LA enforcement
officers tasked with carrying out the Trump administration's aggressive anti
immigration operation, as they complained that long hours, ambitious arrest quotas.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And hatred from the public.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They also said many of them have grown quote disillusioned
with the tactics being implemented by leadership.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
So wow, I like that not mentioned. There's inability to
sleep at night, the cries of the children that we've
ripped away from their parents and put into concentration camps.
But I feel like that's maybe underlying the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I don't know how these people can work there.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I mean, there was at one of the detention camps
in Texas that had a bunch of children, there was
like an uprising with the children that were being detained. Yeah,
like they were like actively protesting within it. And you
can hear like there was a lawyer there who is
going going to see a client and he was rushed
out and then just started recording, recording.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
And you can hear these kids fucking screaming libertad like freedom.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's I don't know how the I can't even like
hear the clip and be not fucked up and have
like shitty goosebumps like hearing children screaming for like pleading,
like their voices are cracking from how intense their screams
are asking to be freed. Let alone being the fucking
asshole who's sitting there in there with your fucking baton
with your arms crossed right, be like yeah, hit down
(11:52):
or whatever, fucking scumbag anyway.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So children concentration camp, just yes, that's what that is.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And again it's not new because we've been doing this,
but hey, let's let's try and fucking solve it this time.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Meanwhile, big fuck Face himself is even out here trying
to rewrite history.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
He went from saying Pretty.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Was dangerous and what was he doing coming with a
fully loaded weapon to now softer takes like this. He
was asked about, Hey, what what's going on with Alex Pretty?
And what what do you think is the way the
administration is going to handle this?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Here's buck Face, and I loved everybody.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I love all of our people.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
I love his family, and it's a very sad situation.
I'm looking at the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I love everybody, I love our people, I love his family,
and it's a very sad situation.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Damn, it was a little bit different, wasn't it. Wasn't
he a domestic terrorist? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Before he also has apparently said that there should be
an investigation, like but more like a real transparent one.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Doctify.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Well, you know what a big investigation. I want to
beat the investigation. I'm gonna be watching oligar and I
want a story, honorable and honest investigation.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, did you say transparent? I don't know if
I heard transp I.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Think I think Caroline Levitt said that yesterday when she's
she was backpend like a motherfucker too. Right after we
played one of her clips, she said another thing where
she was like.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Look, we don't want anybody to get hurt out here.
That's like the last thing we want. And it was
such a different.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Tackling form, tackling people and spring them point blank in
the face with chemical iry tints. We don't want anybody
to get hurt. Oh my god, that was your plan?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
A was Oh my god? You thought that's what we
were trying to do. Oh, this is so.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, Well we gotta I gotta talk to Gregory now
I'm gonna have to so again about that investigation. The
details around the investigation are already super fucked like for starters,
the FEDS are keeping state investigators out despite having a warrant.
And also no one knows where Alex Pretty's phone or
gun is because there's no documented chain of custody over
(14:08):
the evidence, So who the fuck.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Knows what they're trying to do with all that?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And Keith Ellison, who's the Attorney General of Minnesota, got
a restraining order against the government to prevent them from
fucking with evidence. But the regime is in court trying
to fight this as we speak right now. So I
don't know how transparent that's going to be. Again, it's
a bunch of fucking words extra judicial.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I love attention of court orders at all, but he
loves them, and that should make you feel better.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Mm hmmmm hmm.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Exactly, It's going to be very transparent to me. I
will be able to see it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Nobody else I will, and I will be able to
decide what is transparent and what is.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Opaque, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But yeah, also they're they're rolling out. I mean you
can see a huge change in how ICE is behaving
on the ground because they jumped to this one guy's car.
Maybe yeah, what if? Fuck?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
This is the damage control is so wild. ICE is
posting alleged good Samaritan content about how their agents actually
do nice things for people while.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Armed and masked up the lowest possible bar for calling
someone a good Samaritan.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, like, honestly, and again, I'm gonna read this, but
it it reads like AI fucking swap.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
First of all, this was posted on Monday, right, so
this is after Alex Pretty's murder. So this is them,
like on Monday, trying to bring the temperature down with
this picture. It's a picture of people like in the
snow with the hoods of their cars open, it said.
On January twenty second, during record breaking cold temperatures in Chakope, Minnesota,
ICE officers pulled into a local parking lot and noticed
(15:48):
a man experiencing car trouble. After discovering that his vehicle
had a dead battery, the officers quickly offered their assistance,
using jumper cables from their own vehicle, and with help
from another community member, they successfully jump started the car.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There's that love that dash right there, M dash.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Love and M dash ensuring he could safely continue on
his way.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Okay first of all, but just the lowest level of goods. Man,
I've helped someone jump their car before and haven't even
like felt good about myself.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's just a thing.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I help someone jump the car and they had
the cables. I just had to pop my hood. They're like, hey, man,
can you I'll just I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, it is a nothing thing.
It requires you to stop for five minutes and like
gun the engine for a second and just like talk
to another person. That's it. The fact that they also
hit a with help from another community member in there
is pretty fun. Like I want to know, I really
(16:50):
want to know this version, the version of events from
the person who needed the jump, because it certainly feels
like they jumped in on a They're like, hey, we're
we're here looking for some good photo ops. What do
we do here? A one man job? They couldn't even
pull it off without like help.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, it's just weird seeing a masked goon and attack
vest like not he's not even jumping the car. It
looked like the guy is. So it's like this guy's
just like lording over this person. It doesn't look helpful,
just like.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Holding him at gunpoint to make sure nothing funny.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Has smile fucking smile, fucking smile good Samaritan. Right, I
think Look, it's three possibilities. It's completely staged, right, and
who knows who, Like they're just like, yeah, I'm a
fucking let's just do this. Uh it actually happened and
somehow we gotta yeah, exactly can we can we pose
(17:41):
with you? Or third, which could maybe if this has happened,
maybe there were two Minnesotans helping each other out and
the Ice agents rolled up and we're like, hey, you
need a hand and they're like, dude, go get a
fucking dog up, you fucking loser.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
And they're like, okay, all right, all right.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Or they to do it. And because they appear to
be the dumbest fucking people on the planet, just a
bunch of keys cross stuffy. Yeah, they had the cables
like attached to the fucking windshield wipe or fluid tank.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So yeah, again they're desperate considering that they're they were
posting Nazi memes on Maine right to now like, oh,
we're like triple A for like stranded roadside people and
we care. I think is a good indication that they
know they've completely lost the country in terms of like
(18:35):
the morality of it and the support.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
However, this is just another reason for them.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
They just have to go back in the lab and
figure out how do we make it look more respectable
to the public while.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
We can kind of continue to do this shit.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But again, I don't know if that's what they want,
because part of the whole reason to have ICE do
these raids like this was to create this sense, like
this really acute sense of error in people to really
establish their strength. And now Tom Homan is in charge,
and I was reading that like him and Nome don't
get along because tom Homan was just more like you
(19:09):
need like less. He's like because he worked in border
prol long times, like you need more frictionless operations, Like
you're you're you're trying to make it as gross as possible,
not to say Tom Homan is like reasonable, He's just
like the.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Way the way you don't get trouble.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
For achieving the objective we claim to be wanting to do.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Right exactly exactly, So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
But yeah, drunken barncat Tom Holman is on the ground
in Minnesota now, so we'll see what comes of that.
But again, I think really important to like, this is
absolutely a victory for for everybody who resisted this Ice occupation. Yeah,
on a small level, right, because you did get one
of the most odious figures out. That doesn't change their
(19:51):
mission as an organization. But again, a demonstration that even
the regime is having.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
To be like, Okay, fuck like this. We thought we
could go that hard, but maybe we can't. But I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I wouldn't say that this is a total collapse of
vice or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But hey, small victories about all victories.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
But victories can happen when people get together and organize
as people and don't wait for the Democrats to figure
out how to do the right thing.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
They're waiting for us.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think Chris Murphy actually said something really interesting he's
the Senator from Connecticut, which is basically like, if the
Democrats can't be perceived as doing something tangibly in such
an acute crisis as of right now, people are going
to fully abandon politics. And I'm like, buddy, buddy, it's
happening right now. So if you're looking for some tangible action,
(20:44):
you guys better fucking do something the.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Figure out yesterday, and when you come to power, you
need to still be about that action or else this
shit's just going to keep happening over again. And part
of that action needs to be actual, transparent investigations into
the people who are responsible for these war crimes on
their fellow citizens. All right, let's take a quick break,
(21:08):
we'll come back, We'll talk about Kanye. It's been a while.
We'll be right back, and we're back. So Kanye West
took out a full page ad in the Wall Street
(21:28):
Journal apologizing, claiming that he just wanted to reach the
black community, and so took out a full page ad
in the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Black and Jewish community.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah yeah, And he has said that his latest years
of outbursts were the result of his bipolar disorder, which
we have heard before, and I think at this point
everyone assumes that those actions are coming from a place
of unwellness. But he's also adding the car crash that
happened into the and two to the things that are
(22:03):
wrong with his brain.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, he said he potentially had a frontal lobe injury.
Was never talked about.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, it was never diagnosed with that treated, which I
don't like not to say anything about, like well this
excuses anything, but I do think, like there there's really
interesting shit on, like brain injuries and like how when
somebody suffers a brain injury. Like the most famous story
(22:31):
is Phineas Gage, who like got a railroad spike through
his eye like coming out his brain, but like survived
and was studied extensively and had like a total personality change,
And it was like one of the first times that
people were like, oh so if you take that part out,
(22:53):
like this is what happens to the human's ability to
behave normally or what happens there personality? A lot of
things with impulse control can happen.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
With Wasn't that way the same thing with like Charles Whitman,
the University of Texas shooter, he had said yet a
brain tumor.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That was like he had a brain tumor, ye against it.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And he was like in his note, He's like, dude,
I don't know what the fuck's going on with me?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
He's like, I just can't I can't stop myself.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, I totally I think that's all valid. I think,
you know, if that's if that's his truth, so be it.
But again it okay, yeah, the damage is like, look, motherfucker,
the damage is done.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And oh yeah no I'm not.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Saying yeah yeah, yeah, no no.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
And I think, look, if this is, if this was
actually written by him, I think that's great. It's an
interesting look into his his his personal life or whatever.
But man, just go fucking go be somewhere and get
right and don't bother anybody, do it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
You got enough money gold, you don't need to do
anything publicly anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Maybe I'm sure you were dying to probably regain some
semblance of star power that you once had. But unfortunately,
like like as you mentioned in your letter, this has
kind of put you in a situation where even your
own fans or former fans are like, I don't bro
I don't even feel there, man, Like just I mean,
you really called Hyle Hitler, you know in this last
(24:17):
bout of mania that is like Nick Quents' favorite song,
you know, like all those people really took it as
a mainstreaming of They're like, guys, we got Kanye now
like this we're good guys, this disturbed black man agrees
with us. We've done it. We've reached the main stream.
Like that's not nothing, and we didn't really talk about it.
(24:39):
But you know, there's this clip of Nick Fuentez and
Andrew Tait and this otherfuckers Sneako and this looks Maxer
dude like Clovicular, whatever the fuck his name is. They
were in a club in Miami playing that shit. Yeah,
and the fallout from that was another moment where these
people that were like, hey, bro, the ship's mainstream cut
to hey, you've been banned from every resh and fucking
(25:01):
club in the city.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Nobody wants you here, get the fuck out forever.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
And they're like, oh, man, whatever you like, I don't
even care at aug Yeah, and then Kanye even told
him please don't play that song.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
So like just going with the brain injury theory, because
the first thing that we ever heard from Kanye other
than you know, producing the Blueprint, but like the first
time we heard of him as an artist was Through
the Wire, which was a song written and performed like
in the aftermath of that car accident, and like that
Rolling Stone had a thing a couple of years ago
(25:34):
that I found surprising at the time that he's been
telling people that he worked with like they've been protecting
the truth of his like Nazi fandom and affinity for
Hitler since the beginning of his career essentially like since
the early two thousands, and they say it like goes
back to two thousand and two, which is like shockingly early,
(25:57):
but also exactly when the car craft happened. Sure, so
I don't know, Like if a car accident, if a
brain injury like just affects your impulse control and your
ability to like self regulate, is just a kind of
a damning thing to like see about our culture. Like
I remember when Kanye was in the peak of his
(26:18):
fame and Trump was rising, and it was like, Oh,
these guys are both just riding a rocket chip made
of pathological narcissism, right right, right, and like it feels
like that is the cheap code for our current society.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah, no, it's true, it's true.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
And I mean that was and that was his so
much of his appeal as an artist was his exuberance
and pathological levels of confidence right, were inspiring to many
people's like, yeah, bro, he makes me feel and I
get that too. I remember that too, Like I was
in the midst of like feeling I wanted to drop
out of college when I when college dropout came out
(26:56):
and feeling like no, this is I can gasp myself
up and can fucking accomplish whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
But yeah, it seems like there's a there's a double
edged sword to that.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
And I think, honestly, like, you know, I believe in
the people's capacity to change and heal, so I hope
he's able to do that.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
But he did this in twenty twenty three just before.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, it's and so it's starting to feel a little
like that Mister Show sketch where David Cross is like
a a reformed gay pastor right, like keeps going back
and forth, like the video of him being like I
was fucking so many dicks and then coming back and
be like I was absolutely wrong. I know that said. Yeah,
(27:37):
it's just like kind of a feels like this.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
It's exhausting, and I think anybody cool, Yeah, dealing with
people like family with mental illness or addiction, it kind
of have the similar ebbs and flows. So Like I said, Kanye,
just go get better, bro. Just take care of yourself,
you know, and take it easy. Don't worry about it.
Nobody's looking for you. Yeah, so just go ahead.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But all right, those are some of the things that
are trending on this Tuesday, January twenty seventh. We are
back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get your vaccines, well you still can't get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow.
