Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Funky

the discord. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is,
of course, mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh no, no, you don't, No, you don't too much energy.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I'm not, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That is what's Tone Lok up to.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I don't know, man, he had a real he had
a run there where he was just bringing Tone Lok
energy to comedy films.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I know that's a way. That was great. He was
in ace Ventura and he was also in ace Ventura Junior.
I didn't realize the two thousand and nine follow up,
which I'm sure is a problematic as the first.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
They fixed all the problematic Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, all the transphobia from the first one. Uh a
poetic justice. Oh that's right. He was in blank Check
and Heat. I don't know, Tone Loak. Good for you, man, Hard,
it's been a while. Oh he had a dui oh man,
then he was okay. He confronted someone who was wearing
a Confederate battleflag baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Okay, tone Low, here we go, still out there twenty
sixteen to present the I Love the nineties tour.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, yeah, all right, the tour never ends. You seem
like you're okay. I feel like it's everything.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So season fourteen of the Masked Singer as Handyman.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Had to have been easy.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, right, one of the most identifiable voices.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
He was on the mask singer that's so funny, that's
so good. Well, was he just like a side character?
Where is this on the mask Singer?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
He competed in season fourteen as Handyman, resembled a robotic
handyman with wrenches for hands as he was eliminated on
Clueless Night alongside Traji p Henson as scareb Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Traji p Henson was doing that shit.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He was assisted in the unmasking by the Men in
Black due to the costumes. Hands did an encore of
Wild Things.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, all right man, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Hey, that's a little bit of all right.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I was robot wrench hands man. That was already be
a robot. Let me sing this new track like it's like, bro,
you're working right.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It was that that show really feels like your brain
is dying, really feels like the world ended ten years
ago and this is just a figment of our dying imagination.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I watched another because you're talking about the anticipation of
the unmasking part. I was watching the one with Ken
Jong when he was unmasked, and it took fourteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I felt like he's one of he's one of the hosts.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Isn't he? Oh? Is it him? I think it was.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So they cut to his face a lot during the
thing because he gets a good reaction shot.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's what I'm thinking, thinking, you actually didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Take it all the way through.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Because I just got and you just Ken jump. Yeah,
it's way too much doing way too much there And anyway,
that's I mean, we got to something that is trending.
The season fourteen of The Masked Singer happened this year.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You're welcome, folks, but let's let's get into some news.
There's a new trend. I mean, it's not new, but
there was, of course, the series about the making of
The Godfather.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And now there's gonna be a movie about Sylvester stalloone
making Rocky with the baffling title, I play Rocky. Oh No,
why why they got to do him like that? I
play Rocky? Did he write that? Play Rocky sounds like
the state he's in. Now, what should we call it?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I play rock? I play rock? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I know that was famously his demand that he had
to fight for was that, Like he wrote the script
and they were like, all right, so we're gonna get
Burt Reynolds. Was that the first pick for I don't know,
but like that was you know, was the seventies time. Yeah, yeah,
we'd love to get Reynolds if we could get them.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh, I play Rocky is the writer who like wrote it.
Don't I got rights? Hey? Don't I got rights? I
don't I play Rocky? I didn't even know that. Who's sure? Okay?
Did the offer even do well?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I mean it definitely got some cultural cachet going, like
people were talking about it. It infected the zeitgeist briefly,
I think, not this one. People didn't like it that much. Okay, good,
so then let's keep going.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No no no, no no no no no.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But I think you know, they're maybe sick of remakes
and sequels to classic films, So now they're like, what
if we did a movie about the classic film as
opposed to coming up with new ip just stuff that
is already?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah? What do we already own. Okay, So have Lily
Collins play Audrey.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Hepburn, Yes, So that's that's where we're at. They're making
a movie about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's starring
Lily Collins, who's a delight.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Based the poster everyone has, like a poster of Aubrey
Hepbert from Audrey Aubrey Audrey Hepburn shout out, Drake, Is
that is that like a huge thing? Like is there
a lot of intrigue about the making of that.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Film or something not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's it's a movie that's always seemed to outpunch its
weight in terms of like number of people who have
seen it and enjoyed it as compared to people just
being like I just like the vibe of it, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And I get like, dude, Lily Collins, she's gonna be perfect,
looks exactly like great.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
However, hepburnian, this is one part of the movie that
I think is not for anyone. That So it's based
on a best selling book about the making of Breakfast
The Tiffany's, And there's this Deadline article about this thing,
(06:05):
and it doesn't doesn't even address, uh, the question on
everyone's mind, which is, what the fuck are they going
to do about Mickey Rooney. Mickey Rooney plays the most
racist in the history of soh.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Marlon Brando in Tea House of August Moon because Marlon
Brando also he's coming with the Japanese yellow face in
that movie, and my mom loves that ship.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He wants to do them, He wants to do right
by the Japanese people in that performance. This is done
with hat in his heart is like fuck you Yeah. Essentially,
the subtext of his entire performance and the book that
(06:56):
the movie is based on, is full of just terrible
details about Mickey Rooney's casting, specifically how as a PR stunt,
the studio announced that the character was going to be
played by a Japanese comedian named Ohio Arigatu, and people
were like, okay, They're like, he's the best Japanese comedian
of all time. Wow, very famous in his foreign land.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh man, we got and and playing opposite him the
famous Mexican actor Buenos dias, gracias, fay Ohio Arigato, that's
good morning and thank you. Get those Jesus, mister Ari Domo,
Ari Gotto, mister Ari Gotto.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh shit. Okay, they knew.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
They knew it was fucked up at the time because
they tried to appease their potentially uneasy Japanese audience by
announcing that the quote wife of the Cultural Information of
the Japanese Chamber of Commerce was going to be Mickey
Rooney's coach and technical advisor, the.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Wife of the the culture hold on.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, it's basically the we know a Japanese person and
they're like officially Japanese.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Conaciliatory press release confirming that Missus Kutzuma Mukaida, wife of
the Cultural Information director of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Los Angeles, Bro, So.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're talking about like the people who are out here
trying to make the most money in the city who
happened to be Japanese. And they're like, yeah, yeah, his
wife co signed it.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So so we're I think good here.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I think that I think that means legally we're covered
and you're actually not allowed to be mad at us.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's actually so you're going to be racist to Missus
Katzuma Mukayda.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
No, that makes you racist, actually, Supreme Court precedent. The
screenwriter hated the Mickey Rooney scenes, but director Blake Edwards
insisted on keeping them in, causing a major rift in
their relationship. I'm very curious to see how they they
handle this whole subplot. Wow, but it's coming the making
(09:05):
of Breakfast at Tiffany's. I don't know what the what
the title is that they've.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It's called it's gonna be called Blakfast at Tiffany's. Probably
I can already tell this. Fuck this is some ship
I wonder it is. It will be interesting how they
approach that. It's like some white actor gonna have to
really start fucking doing some wild accent. Jesus, excise it
completely and be like no, I never have it. No,
(09:30):
not sure what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Or it's like the it's like the Shark and Jaws,
where they like don't show it, but like it's just
there in the background. Is this horrifying thing that everybody
like knows, like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
If I had legs, I would kick you. How Like
they don't show rose burns like family ever.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
But it's just like that pressure, like that you feel
pressure and noise and yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I just like this, like this thing about the writer
hating the director for putting it in there it said
they were in sense quote each time Rooney appeared. I said,
Jesus Blake, can't you see that it focks up the picture?
He said, we need comedy in this and Mickey's character's funny. Yeah,
Mickey's character is a not funny in that film, and
b he has nothing whatsoever to do with the goddamn story.
(10:15):
I got Audrey to agree to reshoot the last scene,
which is the only thing she was in with Rudy,
so I could cut out all of the Rooney stuff. However,
Blake kept it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
In Jesus Christ, one of the great should have been
deleted scenes of all time.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Do you think the development people are just realizing this
is a thing they're gonna have to deal with. They're
just like recons of Tiffany this is great. They're like,
oh my god, dude, everyone had that poster. Yeah, okay,
what about Mickey Rooney the upstairs neighbor?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You know, speaking of upstairs neighbors, you know who was
the first choice to play the Audrey Hepburn character was
Marilyn Monroe. They just which actually like makes a lot
of sense because like with her character, it could have
been could have been in iconic yeah, and yet she
(11:03):
was seen as too difficult at.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
The because she had a mind of her own.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Wow, but hey, good luck all I know, Like to me,
I just know, I know the upstairs that's just so funny.
My only idea before you completely jogged my memory of
the Mickey Rooney character, I only just knew the fucking
poster that everybody had, like that they bought for my ikea, yeah,
which is like her with the long cigarette and the gloves,
Like that's cute. And then I was like, that's right,
(11:32):
there's other shit going on. Well, good luck to them,
And I can't wait to see the casting uh for
this Who dares touch the fucking like the radioactive rod
that is the role of Mickey Rooney in this thing?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Damn that's gonna be wild.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Or is it all revisionists and makeing the guy playing maker.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Get an actual Japanese person to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That would be that would be that. No, they did that, No,
if they got.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
A Japanese person, But then the Japanese person like played
up the like how racist and stupid. The thing was,
They're gonna cast me like I'm Mickey Rooney, Mickey Rooney.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And they like they're like this guy's great. They're like
he's Japanese, right, We're like he's half They're like, great,
what's the other half? Black? Oh? Perfect? Wow, we got
some rewrites for you, Miles. Mister Ohio Arigato is gonna
say something about you know who. Okay, we're to write
this in there, but you can do that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You can do yeah, all right, speaking of that voice
that you were just doing right there, Gavin Newsom, who
is really they're doing it. They're they're putting him in
front of us as like, hey, yeah, here comes your
presumptive twenty twenty eight presidential nominee.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Un hinge your jaws, folks, So you can fit all
this down your gullet because.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
We're close your nose.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeh. That's what they think they're gonna do again. I
think the best right now, because it's still only twenty
twenty six, just as early as possible. Every the sentiment
from every person who posts anything about Newsom has to
be negative, has to be that this guy is a joke,
has to be that this guy is unseerious and unworthy
(13:13):
of holding the office of present for whatever the fuck
this next present? Like again, even talking about that, I'm
like terms and conditions apply to the twenty twenty eight
election because we don't know, we don't know if it
will happen. Yeah, I just want to play this thing
because he he was just he we there there was
a he was.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Sort of a makeirol was him yesterday Atlanta and Atlanta
saying hey, I'm like, I'm like you guys, I did
bad on my SATs, and people took that to be
him saying I'm like you black audience.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
People that I have low SAT scores and I don't,
which is not what it.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Wasn't technically like you. It definitely was bad optics, but
it's it seemed like he was just saying like, hey,
I'm a man of the It's like Clint's saying that
he watches Rogan, you.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Know, yeah, yeah, No. The clip that I saw was
like just clipped where he's just talking to the moderator
and he's like, I'm like you nine sixty SAT and
people were like, look what he's trying to say, and
I'm like, look, I'm here to drag Gavin Newsom as
right quickly as correctly, but like he's that was him
trying to be like, I'm not a global elite. I'm
kind of dumb, like I'm a regular guy. Yeah, this
(14:23):
is a shit if you really want to what's you
want to get, Dragatha Christie, this is the fucking clip
you play because he was talking to Dana Bash just
about like what God, please tell me, Gavin Newssom, what
do the Democrats need to do going forward? Given we
just got the fucking autopsy that the DNC was trying
to hide saying lost a lot of support, not speaking
(14:46):
out against the genocide, like I'm not like measurably like
to the point that it's in our post mortem analysis
of that campaign. Yeah, just not.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Having the energy, the support of the people that are
the base, the young pe people, the progressive wing of
the party, the people who energetically are pulling out miracles
out here for people like Xaramamdani.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But this is Gavin Newsom, I think taking the totally
wrong message of Zoran's candidacy, which was he was sort
of like he didn't talk about that other stuff he
was talking about, like cost of living stuff. But here's
Gavin Newsom's twisted version of that.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No doubt that the Democratic Party needs to be dare
I say more culturally normal I believe that less prone
to spending disproportion amount of time on pronouns, identity politics,
more focused on tabletops, things that really matter, the stacking
distress in terms of electricity bills and childcare costs and
(15:44):
health care and obviously hasing costs.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He first of all, I just want to say, he
doesn't even believe. He's like weather ballooning these tapes too.
You can tell, and he can hear the question mark
in his voice. Dare I say, less time on pronouns truly?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Like normal?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
He was looking around.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's like, are the groups here already? I'm about to
get to drag the groups whack him like Joe Peshi
and good Fellas.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, fucking crazy. Yeah there's more. There's more. So dare
I say regressive matter.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
The stacking distress in terms of electricity bills and childcare
costs and now.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
All good stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Trapped in that. How I've fallen prey to that?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I mean here, I was way out front of the
marriage squad, So I understand this.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Oh you fell prey to supporting marriage equality the fuck.
So here's the thing you got to understand, mild is
if we're gonna if we're gonna support people and like
understand that there is a materialistic problem here of inequality.
We gotta throw the LGBTQ community under the fuck.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But do you understand, especially the tea's if you know
what I mean, because and the dude, if you're if
you're an NB bro, no, no, you know that's the thing. Man,
I'll pray to it too. Man. You know I got tricked. Yeah, man,
I got tricked into advocating for equal rights. That is
(17:20):
DISCONSI it is completely.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Also like just in terms of his political instincts, everybody's
for marriage equality, Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
What I think because he's trying to say I was
like more than interview was talking about. I was like,
you know, because there were Democrats that were just coming
at me about really fighting for marriage equality. And I
can see where they're at. But it's like, stop giving
any kind of like, uh, legitimacy to those bad faith
(17:50):
arguments when people are saying no, no, no, no, those
people don't deserve equal footing in the eyes of the law.
That's not someone you if you say, I get it,
I get that some people deserve less than right. Like
that is fucking diabolical and I think if we're gonna
honor the fucking pain and suffering that people have had
to endure, like for the for many decades, now centuries,
(18:13):
and those even more recently brutalized and dehumanized under Trump,
we need to be intentional in choosing someone that is
not residing in this ideological garbage dump where people can
be left behind, because if people can be left up behind,
that means they they will turn a blind eye to
(18:33):
uh more discriminatory killings, more kidnappings of immigrants. Yeah, the
erosion of right. We're in an era where the erosion
of rights seems to be the norm. So if someone
who goes, yeah, that ain't that bad, well, then get
the fuck out of here, bro, Like you don't deserve
a fucking vote.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well, I'm just saying, like, we gotta be able to
say that because people might not like me, like that's
the shit we just yeah, ship will know that that's that's.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Not gonna work anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That sound like a you problem.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, sounds like you don't have the courage of your
own convictions, and that's that's gonna be a problem for
us at that point.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I mean, like I was saying, like Zoran did a
great job of like he said, it's like we gotta
because he's talking about we got to talk about these
you know, kitchen table issues. Yeah, you know. And I'm like,
of course, because therefore that brings that brings in a
broader tent, But it doesn't have to be at the
expense of advocating for everyone's fair treatment. Like Zorn didn't say.
He wasn't like, yeah, man, we need better protection, better
(19:31):
tenant protections, and less support for LGBTQ people. Yeah, that's
my candidacy, Like and Newsome is trying to do that,
like he's trying to say He's like, look, dude, I'm
not like trying to I'm not gonna do that thing
like with like you know, Kamala, you know, and like
getting caught with an attack ad where they say like
I'm trying to give gender affirm and care with federal funds,
(19:52):
Like no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yes, the fuck you are, Yeah right, that's just gonna
happen no matter or what. So why go with someone
who's so worried about it that he can't even stand
up Like he looks like me trying to stand up
in a bounce house.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Like it's just like that, that's the you're getting to
like falling over, like.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's he has stand on that. No, I'm gonna hurt ball.
Could you bounce me?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm gonna scurl up in a ball? Could you bounce
me up?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Popcorn? Popcorn? Popcorn?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
So again, Yeah, get him out. This isn't the one.
Definitely the DNC you can try, But I think I
think people, I like, it's really important, especially for just
like the brunch type of liberals who are like, we
just got to get back to normal. Normals fucked up
and normal allowed all of this to happen, allowed to
(20:50):
for the economics to fall apart enough that people were
willing to entertain another Trump presidency. There's so many things
that have to be changed and done radically different, and
I think if we're gonna, you know, like the one
thing I tell myself about how fucked up this presidency
is like, well, the norm's fucking gone, that's right, but
the norm was also fucked up. And the one the
(21:13):
only fucking potential for good in this is that if
we get on the other side, we have the ability
to build something new and something better, because if the
norm has been shattered, then where we can we can
start with something new and we're not only focused or
only otherwise if it's incrementalism, if it's because the Overton
window got shifted totally to the fucking Neuremberg Trials levels. Basically, yeah,
(21:37):
and they're like, well, shit, now we can just kind
of be a little bit to the left of that.
That's we're gonna be right back where we started. And yeah,
you know, the DNC is going to fight like hell
to make sure that people it's somebody like him or
a Buddha Jedge or something but not.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's why he's like really like seems to be at
the exact same level as Kamala, like just in terms
of his ability to like get through a sentence while
seeming like he knows where it's gonna land, you know
what I mean, Like it's every democratic canon and this
was true of Biden as well, Whereas like you can
feel them as they speak trying to like put like
(22:11):
a person who's in the dark, just like grasping around,
like looking for like where they want to go with it,
and it's just it's you just feel it in your
bones that this person is not shit.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
They don't know, they don't know anything. They're just trying
to see what you're going to.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Like you're making pop, You're making like paint by Numbers
pop music, but with like people's lives and politics, where
it's like you're like, well, how can I Well this
artist is popping and maybe I can take a little
bit of this, And it's like, no, bro, if you're not,
if these aren't your values, we can hear it and
it stinks like shit, so I can do it.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Completely reject him though, right, Like, aren't they I mean,
I guess I thought that about Joe Biden too, and
then at a certain point everyone was just like, I
don't know, we need to get serious here. I'm scared
of progressive politics because the don't perform. Well, let's go
with the least bad option and just put all our
weight behind it.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I think. No, it's just like at this point, it's
like you guys have fucked the dancys fucked around so
many times. Yeah, where like people just do need to
like we just need to be like rowdy children in
the classroom and the substitutes trying to get us to
calm down, like no, fuck you, you're fucking dumb, Like
this isn't it. No, no, No, I'm like I can't
get control of them. It's like, well, then fucking actually
(23:27):
start understanding what people's values are, because that's really easy.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Like the last time that we listened to the Democratic
Party about you know, let's let's throw camel out the window,
because that was just a thing where it was like Biden,
you know, it was.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Likely yeah, yeah yah.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
So like when they told us like, this is our
best option is Biden, we got to go with Biden,
and look where it landed us. You know, it's uh,
you know, an inability to lead is what the Democratic
Party is going to stand on. And then the last
time that there was a you know, progressive candidate going
(24:06):
against one of them, it was like it would take
a miracle for this guy to win and be able
to lead, and every fucking time just talking about electoral
viability every fucking time like that, both in the primary
and in the general, just yeah, cleaned the floor with
their you know, should win should would be the smart
(24:30):
choice option.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And yeah, and I think like it's probably it's sequentially,
it's probably going to have to happen where we get
more of like the like zorans in mayor as office
or like yeah, Ray Hong as like mayor in Los Angeles,
like people who are absolutely they're like you can tell
they're like, bro, I didn't even want the fucking Democrat
(24:51):
like the big capital D parties doing, although you know,
like Zoron is trying to be as pragmatic as possible
given the state that he's operaated, but like people need to.
I think also realized like everything that the Democrats are
standing for is actually just terrible for people. And I
think there is a version of like, well, maybe that's
the party that like a candidate has to run under
to get that, But I feel like maybe it it
(25:14):
probably is going to require more people who are sort
of like the progressives entering office at a congressional level
too to really get people to fully understand that. But
I don't know. We'll see what happens and we'll just
see how bad it gets where they didn't too much
fallow and be like, I don't know, man, we just
need somebody who knows how to shit post, and that's
how an election is going to be. One shit is
(25:35):
posted in real time.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I yeah, And at this point to.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Me, it seems highly unlikely borderline miraculous that we're not
going to get Gavin newsommer, Oh, you're a shitty candidate.
But I'll just say the same thing seemed true to
everybody heading into the Zoran race, and it does. I
think the thing that has changed twenty twenty, and you know,
(26:03):
all the times that this has happened before, is that
we've seen how badly they hate actually operate.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, you know. And also I think like actual Democrats
also hate their party. Yeah, which is very different because
it used to be like, well, I'm a Democrat and
at least things are right Now. I see this all
the time, even like with like older family I know,
or like sort of older gen X or boomers, We're like,
what the fuck are they doing? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Are they everybody stupid? And I think they, I mean,
there's something, some things are going to happen.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, So I don't I don't think it's worth it
to give up at this point.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But no, but I think everyone just just shitt on
Gavin Newsom at every opportunity.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. We're back and State of the Unions tonight.
And I don't know, maybe he can goes up there
(27:07):
and just you know, explains it and it's like, oh, yeah,
I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
See what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it could be. It could be.
I mean he's just hit sixty percent disapproval chee for
the first time. So yeah, man, I mean a lot
of you know that, I'm sure within the White House,
like we got this is the opportunity to really change
the narrative. But who's our mouthpiece, a batshit racist freak
(27:35):
who's probably gonna say something weird about the Epstein files
very quickly. So I mean, yeah, I think it's safe
to say that the speech will probably most likely be
a lot of finger pointing and blaming for why the
country is falling into further shambles under his leadership. It's
not gonna be any accountability. We already know that. That's like,
that's just not gonna happen. I believe the US men's
(27:57):
hockey team will be there, the women's team who also
won gold. They're doing the thing where they want to
be on the right side of history. And you know,
they were like they had a very like diplomatically worded
thing like oh, we're honored, but you know, because of
people's commitments professional and educational, like we won't be able
(28:18):
to make it. In other words, it's definitely for me though,
and good for them, good for you, you know, especially
after that fucking weird call with Cash Battel. Democrats kind
of like sort of split on what to do. Hakeem
Jeffreys is like, maybe let's not boo or like be
a distraction, Like you know, it's like, let's be respective,
like just shut up other Democrats.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's the main thing we need to worry about, the Democrats.
This guy, who is you know, the most named person
in the Epstein files, Yeah, exactly, is up there in
front of people pretending who exists in a reality that
everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Those bullshit. Let's be respectful, respecting.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
De quorum with this group or bipartisanship with this group
is collaboration at this point, you know what I mean. Like,
it's just there's like another here, this is another. This
is from the Hill. It's his Democratic leader scrambling to
prevent repeat of last year's rowdy State of the Union.
They're encouraging their troops to protest the president. How it's done, however,
remains a sensitive topic. M dude, fucking shout this man down.
(29:19):
This would be like if you were like a sports coach,
You're like, hey, man, they're one player. You can get
under his skin. And once you get under his skin, bro,
he the whole He's lost the whole game, you know
how like you can you know, sometimes you feel like
teams like target a player to get under their skin
and throw them off. What you can do exactly, You.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Actually play worst when you're angry, So make you angry.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Where's Gloria? Okay, get Rosie president here? But like I
think anyway you can yell at him, do whatever you want, fools,
that's all with the Hawhawk. But I think, yeah, this
some people are going to be there, some are just
completely skipping out. There's going to be a rally I
think at the mall, just as like sort of counter
(30:01):
a counter program to whatever live fest this is going
to be. But we still don't even know what. Like JD.
Vance said that Trump's gonna quote focus his speech on
the economy, touting a Trump boom that will bring manufacturing
jobs back to the United States and reduce energy costs.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
For American House One is that we're just we're just
kind of pushing that one back in twenty sixteen deadline
back on that one, you.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Said that, you said that in your first term. But
we're bringing the job really about real quick historical disaster
in that respect, and like I think again, everything it's
going to be like every other speech, like a spooky tail,
filled with racist bullshit and threats against his ops, and
(30:46):
it's going to do very little to convince even his
base that any kind of tangible like economic relief is
on the way or even possible, like telling people about
a Trump boom. As in at this point you're saying, Yo,
shit's actually really good. Oh it isn't. Yeah, the account,
so what you're saying, and then all.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's actually a conspiracy theory. The affordability is a conspiracy.
Affordability is actually an op.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a sy op. Bro. Yeah, it's
like coental pro you know what I mean, affordabilities. This
is diabolical. And then like the energy costs, that sounds
like a justification for Venezuelan intervention, where you like, that's right,
even though don't ask where the money goes. It's to
an offshore account and cutter, it's very opaque how that's
handled and who the funds actually go to It's me.
(31:33):
It's me. But yeah, I'm just trying to get my
chips up.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Before I'm ran out of here on a rail.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So uh Russia, here I come, here we go.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right, So we'll be back tomorrow, I guess say
tomorrow afternoons episode will reveal what was covered in the
State of the Union.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, yeah, trends. Yeah, I'm sure you know. I mean
because last time what he did the thing where he
was like, and look at this young black child, he
wants to be a cop. I'm gonna he has brain cancer, folks,
he had he had the cancer, but now he's a
cop right now, And like everyone was like, you just
got don't care. Oh you hate this child? Is that
(32:14):
what you're saying?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Because they ain't fucked up? Fucked up? Bro, stay strong,
stay strong, little homie.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Exactly, man, I help you're nice with the stealing you
keep if you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Only he's a black culture that he's aware of as regulators.
All right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We're back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourself, get your vaccines
while he still can, get your flu shots, don't do
(32:49):
nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you
all tomorrow.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Funky
Cold Trendina. Oh that one courtesy of Vanadium Silver on
the discord. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is,
of course, mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh no, no, you don't, No, you don't too much energy.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I'm not, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That is what's Tone Lok up to.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I don't know, man, he had a real he had
a run there where he was just bringing Tone Lok
energy to comedy films.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I know that's a way. That was great. He was
in ace Ventura and he was also in ace Ventura Junior.
I didn't realize the two thousand and nine follow up,
which I'm sure is a problematic as the first.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
They fixed all the problematic Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, all the transphobia from the first one. Uh a
poetic justice. Oh that's right. He was in blank Check
and Heat. I don't know, Tone Loak. Good for you, man, Hard,
it's been a while. Oh he had a dui oh man,
then he was okay. He confronted someone who was wearing
a Confederate battleflag baseball.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Okay, tone Low, here we go, still out there twenty
sixteen to present the I Love the nineties tour.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, yeah, all right, the tour never ends. You seem
like you're okay. I feel like it's everything.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So season fourteen of the Masked Singer as Handyman.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Had to have been easy.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, right, one of the most identifiable voices.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
He was on the mask singer that's so funny, that's
so good. Well, was he just like a side character?
Where is this on the mask Singer?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
He competed in season fourteen as Handyman, resembled a robotic
handyman with wrenches for hands as he was eliminated on
Clueless Night alongside Traji p Henson as scareb Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Traji p Henson was doing that shit.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He was assisted in the unmasking by the Men in
Black due to the costumes. Hands did an encore of
Wild Things.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, all right man, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Hey, that's a little bit of all right.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I was robot wrench hands man. That was already be
a robot. Let me sing this new track like it's like, bro,
you're working right.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
It was that that show really feels like your brain
is dying, really feels like the world ended ten years
ago and this is just a figment of our dying imagination.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I watched another because you're talking about the anticipation of
the unmasking part. I was watching the one with Ken
Jong when he was unmasked, and it took fourteen minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I felt like he's one of he's one of the hosts.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Isn't he? Oh? Is it him? I think it was.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So they cut to his face a lot during the
thing because he gets a good reaction shot.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That's what I'm thinking, thinking, you actually didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Take it all the way through.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Because I just got and you just Ken jump. Yeah,
it's way too much doing way too much there And anyway,
that's I mean, we got to something that is trending.
The season fourteen of The Masked Singer happened this year.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You're welcome, folks, but let's let's get into some news.
There's a new trend. I mean, it's not new, but
there was, of course, the series about the making of
The Godfather.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
And now there's gonna be a movie about Sylvester stalloone
making Rocky with the baffling title, I play Rocky. Oh No,
why why they got to do him like that? I
play Rocky? Did he write that? Play Rocky sounds like
the state he's in. Now, what should we call it?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I play rock? I play rock? All right?
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I know that was famously his demand that he had
to fight for was that, Like he wrote the script
and they were like, all right, so we're gonna get
Burt Reynolds. Was that the first pick for I don't know,
but like that was you know, was the seventies time. Yeah, yeah,
we'd love to get Reynolds if we could get them.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh, I play Rocky is the writer who like wrote it.
Don't I got rights? Hey? Don't I got rights? I
don't I play Rocky? I didn't even know that. Who's sure? Okay?
Did the offer even do well?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I mean it definitely got some cultural cachet going, like
people were talking about it. It infected the zeitgeist briefly,
I think, not this one. People didn't like it that much. Okay, good,
so then let's keep going.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No no no, no no no no no.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
But I think you know, they're maybe sick of remakes
and sequels to classic films, So now they're like, what
if we did a movie about the classic film as
opposed to coming up with new ip just stuff that
is already?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah? What do we already own. Okay, So have Lily
Collins play Audrey.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Hepburn, Yes, So that's that's where we're at. They're making
a movie about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's starring
Lily Collins, who's a delight.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Based the poster everyone has, like a poster of Aubrey
Hepbert from Audrey Aubrey Audrey Hepburn shout out, Drake, Is
that is that like a huge thing? Like is there
a lot of intrigue about the making of that.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Film or something not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's it's a movie that's always seemed to outpunch its
weight in terms of like number of people who have
seen it and enjoyed it as compared to people just
being like I just like the vibe of it, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And I get like, dude, Lily Collins, she's gonna be perfect,
looks exactly like great.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
However, hepburnian, this is one part of the movie that
I think is not for anyone. That So it's based
on a best selling book about the making of Breakfast
The Tiffany's, And there's this Deadline article about this thing,
(06:05):
and it doesn't doesn't even address, uh, the question on
everyone's mind, which is, what the fuck are they going
to do about Mickey Rooney. Mickey Rooney plays the most
racist in the history of soh.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Marlon Brando in Tea House of August Moon because Marlon
Brando also he's coming with the Japanese yellow face in
that movie, and my mom loves that ship.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
He wants to do them, He wants to do right
by the Japanese people in that performance. This is done
with hat in his heart is like fuck you Yeah. Essentially,
the subtext of his entire performance and the book that
(06:56):
the movie is based on, is full of just terrible
details about Mickey Rooney's casting, specifically how as a PR stunt,
the studio announced that the character was going to be
played by a Japanese comedian named Ohio Arigatu, and people
were like, okay, They're like, he's the best Japanese comedian
of all time. Wow, very famous in his foreign land.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh man, we got and and playing opposite him the
famous Mexican actor Buenos dias, gracias, fay Ohio Arigato, that's
good morning and thank you. Get those Jesus, mister Ari Domo,
Ari Gotto, mister Ari Gotto.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Oh shit. Okay, they knew.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
They knew it was fucked up at the time because
they tried to appease their potentially uneasy Japanese audience by
announcing that the quote wife of the Cultural Information of
the Japanese Chamber of Commerce was going to be Mickey
Rooney's coach and technical advisor, the.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Wife of the the culture hold on.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, it's basically the we know a Japanese person and
they're like officially Japanese.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Conaciliatory press release confirming that Missus Kutzuma Mukaida, wife of
the Cultural Information director of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Los Angeles, Bro, So.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You're talking about like the people who are out here
trying to make the most money in the city who
happened to be Japanese. And they're like, yeah, yeah, his
wife co signed it.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So so we're I think good here.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I think that I think that means legally we're covered
and you're actually not allowed to be mad at us.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's actually so you're going to be racist to Missus
Katzuma Mukayda.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
No, that makes you racist, actually, Supreme Court precedent. The
screenwriter hated the Mickey Rooney scenes, but director Blake Edwards
insisted on keeping them in, causing a major rift in
their relationship. I'm very curious to see how they they
handle this whole subplot. Wow, but it's coming the making
(09:05):
of Breakfast at Tiffany's. I don't know what the what
the title is that they've.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
It's called it's gonna be called Blakfast at Tiffany's. Probably
I can already tell this. Fuck this is some ship
I wonder it is. It will be interesting how they
approach that. It's like some white actor gonna have to
really start fucking doing some wild accent. Jesus, excise it
completely and be like no, I never have it. No,
(09:30):
not sure what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Or it's like the it's like the Shark and Jaws,
where they like don't show it, but like it's just
there in the background. Is this horrifying thing that everybody
like knows, like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
If I had legs, I would kick you. How Like
they don't show rose burns like family ever.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
But it's just like that pressure, like that you feel
pressure and noise and yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I just like this, like this thing about the writer
hating the director for putting it in there it said
they were in sense quote each time Rooney appeared. I said,
Jesus Blake, can't you see that it focks up the picture?
He said, we need comedy in this and Mickey's character's funny. Yeah,
Mickey's character is a not funny in that film, and
b he has nothing whatsoever to do with the goddamn story.
(10:15):
I got Audrey to agree to reshoot the last scene,
which is the only thing she was in with Rudy,
so I could cut out all of the Rooney stuff. However,
Blake kept it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
In Jesus Christ, one of the great should have been
deleted scenes of all time.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Do you think the development people are just realizing this
is a thing they're gonna have to deal with. They're
just like recons of Tiffany this is great. They're like,
oh my god, dude, everyone had that poster. Yeah, okay,
what about Mickey Rooney the upstairs neighbor?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You know, speaking of upstairs neighbors, you know who was
the first choice to play the Audrey Hepburn character was
Marilyn Monroe. They just which actually like makes a lot
of sense because like with her character, it could have
been could have been in iconic yeah, and yet she
(11:03):
was seen as too difficult at.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
The because she had a mind of her own.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Wow, but hey, good luck all I know, Like to me,
I just know, I know the upstairs that's just so funny.
My only idea before you completely jogged my memory of
the Mickey Rooney character, I only just knew the fucking
poster that everybody had, like that they bought for my ikea, yeah,
which is like her with the long cigarette and the gloves,
Like that's cute. And then I was like, that's right,
(11:32):
there's other shit going on. Well, good luck to them,
And I can't wait to see the casting uh for
this Who dares touch the fucking like the radioactive rod
that is the role of Mickey Rooney in this thing?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Damn that's gonna be wild.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Or is it all revisionists and makeing the guy playing maker.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Get an actual Japanese person to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
That would be that would be that. No, they did that, No,
if they got.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
A Japanese person, But then the Japanese person like played
up the like how racist and stupid. The thing was,
They're gonna cast me like I'm Mickey Rooney, Mickey Rooney.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And they like they're like this guy's great. They're like
he's Japanese, right, We're like he's half They're like, great,
what's the other half? Black? Oh? Perfect? Wow, we got
some rewrites for you, Miles. Mister Ohio Arigato is gonna
say something about you know who. Okay, we're to write
this in there, but you can do that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You can do yeah, all right, speaking of that voice
that you were just doing right there, Gavin Newsom, who
is really they're doing it. They're they're putting him in
front of us as like, hey, yeah, here comes your
presumptive twenty twenty eight presidential nominee.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Un hinge your jaws, folks, So you can fit all
this down your gullet because.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
We're close your nose.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeh. That's what they think they're gonna do again. I
think the best right now, because it's still only twenty
twenty six, just as early as possible. Every the sentiment
from every person who posts anything about Newsom has to
be negative, has to be that this guy is a joke,
has to be that this guy is unseerious and unworthy
(13:13):
of holding the office of present for whatever the fuck
this next present? Like again, even talking about that, I'm
like terms and conditions apply to the twenty twenty eight
election because we don't know, we don't know if it
will happen. Yeah, I just want to play this thing
because he he was just he we there there was
a he was.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Sort of a makeirol was him yesterday Atlanta and Atlanta
saying hey, I'm like, I'm like you guys, I did
bad on my SATs, and people took that to be
him saying I'm like you black audience.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
People that I have low SAT scores and I don't,
which is not what it.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Wasn't technically like you. It definitely was bad optics, but
it's it seemed like he was just saying like, hey,
I'm a man of the It's like Clint's saying that
he watches Rogan, you.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Know, yeah, yeah, No. The clip that I saw was
like just clipped where he's just talking to the moderator
and he's like, I'm like you nine sixty SAT and
people were like, look what he's trying to say, and
I'm like, look, I'm here to drag Gavin Newsom as
right quickly as correctly, but like he's that was him
trying to be like, I'm not a global elite. I'm
kind of dumb, like I'm a regular guy. Yeah, this
(14:23):
is a shit if you really want to what's you
want to get, Dragatha Christie, this is the fucking clip
you play because he was talking to Dana Bash just
about like what God, please tell me, Gavin Newssom, what
do the Democrats need to do going forward? Given we
just got the fucking autopsy that the DNC was trying
to hide saying lost a lot of support, not speaking
(14:46):
out against the genocide, like I'm not like measurably like
to the point that it's in our post mortem analysis
of that campaign. Yeah, just not.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Having the energy, the support of the people that are
the base, the young pe people, the progressive wing of
the party, the people who energetically are pulling out miracles
out here for people like Xaramamdani.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But this is Gavin Newsom, I think taking the totally
wrong message of Zoran's candidacy, which was he was sort
of like he didn't talk about that other stuff he
was talking about, like cost of living stuff. But here's
Gavin Newsom's twisted version of that.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No doubt that the Democratic Party needs to be dare
I say more culturally normal I believe that less prone
to spending disproportion amount of time on pronouns, identity politics,
more focused on tabletops, things that really matter, the stacking
distress in terms of electricity bills and childcare costs and
(15:44):
health care and obviously hasing costs.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
He first of all, I just want to say, he
doesn't even believe. He's like weather ballooning these tapes too.
You can tell, and he can hear the question mark
in his voice. Dare I say, less time on pronouns truly?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Like normal?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
He was looking around.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's like, are the groups here already? I'm about to
get to drag the groups whack him like Joe Peshi
and good Fellas.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, fucking crazy. Yeah there's more. There's more. So dare
I say regressive matter.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
The stacking distress in terms of electricity bills and childcare
costs and now.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
All good stuff.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Trapped in that. How I've fallen prey to that?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
I mean here, I was way out front of the
marriage squad, So I understand this.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Oh you fell prey to supporting marriage equality the fuck.
So here's the thing you got to understand, mild is
if we're gonna if we're gonna support people and like
understand that there is a materialistic problem here of inequality.
We gotta throw the LGBTQ community under the fuck.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But do you understand, especially the tea's if you know
what I mean, because and the dude, if you're if
you're an NB bro, no, no, you know that's the thing. Man,
I'll pray to it too. Man. You know I got tricked. Yeah, man,
I got tricked into advocating for equal rights. That is
(17:20):
DISCONSI it is completely.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Also like just in terms of his political instincts, everybody's
for marriage equality, Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
What I think because he's trying to say I was
like more than interview was talking about. I was like,
you know, because there were Democrats that were just coming
at me about really fighting for marriage equality. And I
can see where they're at. But it's like, stop giving
any kind of like, uh, legitimacy to those bad faith
(17:50):
arguments when people are saying no, no, no, no, those
people don't deserve equal footing in the eyes of the law.
That's not someone you if you say, I get it,
I get that some people deserve less than right. Like
that is fucking diabolical and I think if we're gonna
honor the fucking pain and suffering that people have had
to endure, like for the for many decades, now centuries,
(18:13):
and those even more recently brutalized and dehumanized under Trump,
we need to be intentional in choosing someone that is
not residing in this ideological garbage dump where people can
be left behind, because if people can be left up behind,
that means they they will turn a blind eye to
(18:33):
uh more discriminatory killings, more kidnappings of immigrants. Yeah, the
erosion of right. We're in an era where the erosion
of rights seems to be the norm. So if someone
who goes, yeah, that ain't that bad, well, then get
the fuck out of here, bro, Like you don't deserve
a fucking vote.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well, I'm just saying, like, we gotta be able to
say that because people might not like me, like that's
the shit we just yeah, ship will know that that's that's.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Not gonna work anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
That sound like a you problem.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, sounds like you don't have the courage of your
own convictions, and that's that's gonna be a problem for
us at that point.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I mean, like I was saying, like Zoran did a
great job of like he said, it's like we gotta
because he's talking about we got to talk about these
you know, kitchen table issues. Yeah, you know. And I'm like,
of course, because therefore that brings that brings in a
broader tent, But it doesn't have to be at the
expense of advocating for everyone's fair treatment. Like Zorn didn't say.
He wasn't like, yeah, man, we need better protection, better
(19:31):
tenant protections, and less support for LGBTQ people. Yeah, that's
my candidacy, Like and Newsome is trying to do that,
like he's trying to say He's like, look, dude, I'm
not like trying to I'm not gonna do that thing
like with like you know, Kamala, you know, and like
getting caught with an attack ad where they say like
I'm trying to give gender affirm and care with federal funds,
(19:52):
Like no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yes, the fuck you are, Yeah right, that's just gonna
happen no matter or what. So why go with someone
who's so worried about it that he can't even stand
up Like he looks like me trying to stand up
in a bounce house.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Like it's just like that, that's the you're getting to
like falling over, like.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's he has stand on that. No, I'm gonna hurt ball.
Could you bounce me?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm gonna scurl up in a ball? Could you bounce
me up?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Popcorn? Popcorn? Popcorn?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
So again, Yeah, get him out. This isn't the one.
Definitely the DNC you can try, But I think I
think people, I like, it's really important, especially for just
like the brunch type of liberals who are like, we
just got to get back to normal. Normals fucked up
and normal allowed all of this to happen, allowed to
(20:50):
for the economics to fall apart enough that people were
willing to entertain another Trump presidency. There's so many things
that have to be changed and done radically different, and
I think if we're gonna, you know, like the one
thing I tell myself about how fucked up this presidency
is like, well, the norm's fucking gone, that's right, but
the norm was also fucked up. And the one the
(21:13):
only fucking potential for good in this is that if
we get on the other side, we have the ability
to build something new and something better, because if the
norm has been shattered, then where we can we can
start with something new and we're not only focused or
only otherwise if it's incrementalism, if it's because the Overton
window got shifted totally to the fucking Neuremberg Trials levels. Basically, yeah,
(21:37):
and they're like, well, shit, now we can just kind
of be a little bit to the left of that.
That's we're gonna be right back where we started. And yeah,
you know, the DNC is going to fight like hell
to make sure that people it's somebody like him or
a Buddha Jedge or something but not.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
It's why he's like really like seems to be at
the exact same level as Kamala, like just in terms
of his ability to like get through a sentence while
seeming like he knows where it's gonna land, you know
what I mean, Like it's every democratic canon and this
was true of Biden as well, Whereas like you can
feel them as they speak trying to like put like
(22:11):
a person who's in the dark, just like grasping around,
like looking for like where they want to go with it,
and it's just it's you just feel it in your
bones that this person is not shit.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
They don't know, they don't know anything. They're just trying
to see what you're going to.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Like you're making pop, You're making like paint by Numbers
pop music, but with like people's lives and politics, where
it's like you're like, well, how can I Well this
artist is popping and maybe I can take a little
bit of this, And it's like, no, bro, if you're not,
if these aren't your values, we can hear it and
it stinks like shit, so I can do it.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Completely reject him though, right, Like, aren't they I mean,
I guess I thought that about Joe Biden too, and
then at a certain point everyone was just like, I
don't know, we need to get serious here. I'm scared
of progressive politics because the don't perform. Well, let's go
with the least bad option and just put all our
weight behind it.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I think. No, it's just like at this point, it's
like you guys have fucked the dancys fucked around so
many times. Yeah, where like people just do need to
like we just need to be like rowdy children in
the classroom and the substitutes trying to get us to
calm down, like no, fuck you, you're fucking dumb, Like
this isn't it. No, no, No, I'm like I can't
get control of them. It's like, well, then fucking actually
(23:27):
start understanding what people's values are, because that's really easy.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Like the last time that we listened to the Democratic
Party about you know, let's let's throw camel out the window,
because that was just a thing where it was like Biden,
you know, it was.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Likely yeah, yeah yah.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
So like when they told us like, this is our
best option is Biden, we got to go with Biden,
and look where it landed us. You know, it's uh,
you know, an inability to lead is what the Democratic
Party is going to stand on. And then the last
time that there was a you know, progressive candidate going
(24:06):
against one of them, it was like it would take
a miracle for this guy to win and be able
to lead, and every fucking time just talking about electoral
viability every fucking time like that, both in the primary
and in the general, just yeah, cleaned the floor with
their you know, should win should would be the smart
(24:30):
choice option.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And yeah, and I think like it's probably it's sequentially,
it's probably going to have to happen where we get
more of like the like zorans in mayor as office
or like yeah, Ray Hong as like mayor in Los Angeles,
like people who are absolutely they're like you can tell
they're like, bro, I didn't even want the fucking Democrat
(24:51):
like the big capital D parties doing, although you know,
like Zoron is trying to be as pragmatic as possible
given the state that he's operaated, but like people need to.
I think also realized like everything that the Democrats are
standing for is actually just terrible for people. And I
think there is a version of like, well, maybe that's
the party that like a candidate has to run under
to get that, But I feel like maybe it it
(25:14):
probably is going to require more people who are sort
of like the progressives entering office at a congressional level
too to really get people to fully understand that. But
I don't know. We'll see what happens and we'll just
see how bad it gets where they didn't too much
fallow and be like, I don't know, man, we just
need somebody who knows how to shit post, and that's
how an election is going to be. One shit is
(25:35):
posted in real time.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I yeah, And at this point to.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Me, it seems highly unlikely borderline miraculous that we're not
going to get Gavin newsommer, Oh, you're a shitty candidate.
But I'll just say the same thing seemed true to
everybody heading into the Zoran race, and it does. I
think the thing that has changed twenty twenty, and you know,
(26:03):
all the times that this has happened before, is that
we've seen how badly they hate actually operate.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, you know. And also I think like actual Democrats
also hate their party. Yeah, which is very different because
it used to be like, well, I'm a Democrat and
at least things are right Now. I see this all
the time, even like with like older family I know,
or like sort of older gen X or boomers, We're like,
what the fuck are they doing? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Are they everybody stupid? And I think they, I mean,
there's something, some things are going to happen.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yeah, So I don't I don't think it's worth it
to give up at this point.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But no, but I think everyone just just shitt on
Gavin Newsom at every opportunity.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back. We're back and State of the Unions tonight.
And I don't know, maybe he can goes up there
(27:07):
and just you know, explains it and it's like, oh, yeah,
I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
See what he's doing here.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it could be. It could be.
I mean he's just hit sixty percent disapproval chee for
the first time. So yeah, man, I mean a lot
of you know that, I'm sure within the White House,
like we got this is the opportunity to really change
the narrative. But who's our mouthpiece, a batshit racist freak
(27:35):
who's probably gonna say something weird about the Epstein files
very quickly. So I mean, yeah, I think it's safe
to say that the speech will probably most likely be
a lot of finger pointing and blaming for why the
country is falling into further shambles under his leadership. It's
not gonna be any accountability. We already know that. That's like,
that's just not gonna happen. I believe the US men's
(27:57):
hockey team will be there, the women's team who also
won gold. They're doing the thing where they want to
be on the right side of history. And you know,
they were like they had a very like diplomatically worded
thing like oh, we're honored, but you know, because of
people's commitments professional and educational, like we won't be able
(28:18):
to make it. In other words, it's definitely for me though,
and good for them, good for you, you know, especially
after that fucking weird call with Cash Battel. Democrats kind
of like sort of split on what to do. Hakeem
Jeffreys is like, maybe let's not boo or like be
a distraction, Like you know, it's like, let's be respective,
like just shut up other Democrats.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's the main thing we need to worry about, the Democrats.
This guy, who is you know, the most named person
in the Epstein files, Yeah, exactly, is up there in
front of people pretending who exists in a reality that
everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Those bullshit. Let's be respectful, respecting.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
De quorum with this group or bipartisanship with this group
is collaboration at this point, you know what I mean. Like,
it's just there's like another here, this is another. This
is from the Hill. It's his Democratic leader scrambling to
prevent repeat of last year's rowdy State of the Union.
They're encouraging their troops to protest the president. How it's done, however,
remains a sensitive topic. M dude, fucking shout this man down.
(29:19):
This would be like if you were like a sports coach,
You're like, hey, man, they're one player. You can get
under his skin. And once you get under his skin, bro,
he the whole He's lost the whole game, you know
how like you can you know, sometimes you feel like
teams like target a player to get under their skin
and throw them off. What you can do exactly, You.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Actually play worst when you're angry, So make you angry.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Where's Gloria? Okay, get Rosie president here? But like I
think anyway you can yell at him, do whatever you want, fools,
that's all with the Hawhawk. But I think, yeah, this
some people are going to be there, some are just
completely skipping out. There's going to be a rally I
think at the mall, just as like sort of counter
(30:01):
a counter program to whatever live fest this is going
to be. But we still don't even know what. Like JD.
Vance said that Trump's gonna quote focus his speech on
the economy, touting a Trump boom that will bring manufacturing
jobs back to the United States and reduce energy costs.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
For American House One is that we're just we're just
kind of pushing that one back in twenty sixteen deadline
back on that one, you.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Said that, you said that in your first term. But
we're bringing the job really about real quick historical disaster
in that respect, and like I think again, everything it's
going to be like every other speech, like a spooky tail,
filled with racist bullshit and threats against his ops, and
(30:46):
it's going to do very little to convince even his
base that any kind of tangible like economic relief is
on the way or even possible, like telling people about
a Trump boom. As in at this point you're saying, Yo,
shit's actually really good. Oh it isn't. Yeah, the account,
so what you're saying, and then all.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's actually a conspiracy theory. The affordability is a conspiracy.
Affordability is actually an op.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a sy op. Bro. Yeah, it's
like coental pro you know what I mean, affordabilities. This
is diabolical. And then like the energy costs, that sounds
like a justification for Venezuelan intervention, where you like, that's right,
even though don't ask where the money goes. It's to
an offshore account and cutter, it's very opaque how that's
handled and who the funds actually go to It's me.
(31:33):
It's me. But yeah, I'm just trying to get my
chips up.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Before I'm ran out of here on a rail.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So uh Russia, here I come, here we go.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
All right, So we'll be back tomorrow, I guess say
tomorrow afternoons episode will reveal what was covered in the
State of the Union.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, yeah, trends. Yeah, I'm sure you know. I mean
because last time what he did the thing where he
was like, and look at this young black child, he
wants to be a cop. I'm gonna he has brain cancer, folks,
he had he had the cancer, but now he's a
cop right now, And like everyone was like, you just
got don't care. Oh you hate this child? Is that
(32:14):
what you're saying?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Because they ain't fucked up? Fucked up? Bro, stay strong,
stay strong, little homie.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Exactly, man, I help you're nice with the stealing you
keep if you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Only he's a black culture that he's aware of as regulators.
All right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We're back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourself, get your vaccines
while he still can, get your flu shots, don't do
(32:49):
nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you
all tomorrow.
