I had one time, one of the last times I
got a filling my dentist. You know, like I guess
you have to hit like this lingual nerve to sort

Yeah, I've I've always heard that and assumed it was
considered by some being people from Dayton, Ohio.

black church bands in Dayton like gave way to these
like huge funk groups.

Point where the Catholic church opened it up to acoustic guitars.
For most of my life, it was just like peopos,

He's like anamorphing into different races.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Have you seen all the fucking black and white Michael
Jackson memes people have been playing. They're like, this is
what he thinks, because there is that one scene where

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Morph technology really had a moment there in the early nineties,
the black and White video and Terminator who I feel
like they came out of the same like the same summer, dude.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It was. I remember it was a huge thing for
like artists too, because my dad at the time, I
remember he was working on like these digital art pieces
and making Pat Buchanan look like a black man and
ship from the early nineties, and that was your project
for pap Buchanan, Right, it was like a kink, Yeah,
can you make me? Can you make me look like
a black guy? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I remember that because I was like so young, so
like yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I was seventeen at the time.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
In nineteen ninety two, I was forty three years old.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I remember pretty what are you bid him?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
That was the first technology that I was scared to
buy morphine. The hell is this? Anyways? Yeah, that was
my first brush with Ai Paul of You were going
to get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we are going to tell the listeners
a couple of the things we're talking about. The Rock
is not good at convincing young men to die for
(10:00):
American imperialism. We just found out the Rock is getting sued.
This is just like a good insights sued.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
They're like, can we have our money back? It sounds
like right now, I mean, the.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Military just asks you nicely for their money back, and
you're like, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
They're like, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
You do?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You know, have you seen what the police do. We're
the fucking art.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Have you seen what the police?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Can't you smell what the Pentagon is cooking? No, because
we designed it that way, you won't know until it's done.
Talking about we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the
continued fallout from Donald Trump's interview with a panel of
black journalists, and just how the Republicans are making sense
(10:50):
of it. They don't seem to be unified quite yet
on on that. On racism, Will yeah, I mean, it's
just different ways of coping with their own racism. We'll
talk about the food at the Olympics. We'll talk about
the food at Taco Bell now being all of that
plenty more. But first, Paul V, we do like to
(11:10):
ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Okay, this is a shameless plug. So I was looking
for Connie and Ted because my dog rescue that I
volunteer for Hit Living Foundation. They name like dogs according
to random things, so we'll have like the Harry Potter
litter or like you know, like litters of pups, and
so I looked it up and I was like, why
(11:35):
is it Connie and Ted? It looks like it sounds
like hr people. Yeah, they just named it after the
restaurant restaurant because like, we're running out of names, because
we're in a crisis. People adopted dogs. We're running out
of names.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
There's not even ip to name them after.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's like, Yeahnd's but the dog Shelters and Hollywood are
in the same book. They're like, I don't know, Harold's
Magical Purple craym. Maybe maybe like some there's some tertiary
characters from that universe.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
They're scrambling damn c like, but yeah, so that's I
was like looking that up because I didn't know about that.
I was like, why does this sound so weird because
usually they're themed. But yeah, I guess we're just naming
them after local restaurants.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, it was one dog named Kanye and Ted. That's
Good's sponsor. Like we have like ads like painted into
their bag. Yeah yeah, okay, I'm actually writing these down
(12:47):
because we are running.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Namesa Zanku Chicken obviously just for local spots, you know,
just all local.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
We have to name each each puppy one of the
guys from Five Guys.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
They're also the five guys are also snap Crackle Pop.
And then there's a couple more of their.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
There's a couple of extra guys. It was like Destiny's
Child where they like three of them took off. Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I was like, who are the five guys? It's named
after the guy who started it and his sons.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, that's such a.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Father like American father moment, like we're all just five
guys here. No, you're my dad father's umble.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Now, We're just we're peers.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
We're just hanging out.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Any of his kids?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, what what's up?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Do you think? Is underrated?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The unsubscribed button? Okay, I've been going off on that
because like I keep like, I'm yeah, just unsubscribed, because
you can't do that on text messages or like random
you know what I mean. Like there's so many things
that are random where you just I can't spam stuff
or you can't unsubscribe. So the ones that I can,
I'm like, get me out of this hell. And I
(14:05):
just keep pressing it over and over again. And it's
so satisfying to be unsubscribed from any elace.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Does it work?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So I was I've been fucked up by the there's
that thing where they say, like you can't even hang
up on a spam caller, because then they know you're alive.
They're like, that's a that's like a nibble when you're fishing.
If you hit like line call, they're like, ah, we
got a live one, and so.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You can call them a scam though, and then they'll
hang up.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Oh they get scared, Go here are you a scam?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah? And then they're like.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
He knows.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Back to the tunnels.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I know. In Gmail too, sometimes we're like, hey, man,
you haven't like opened an email from this baby store
in like seven years. Do you want to unsubscribe? And
I'm like, oh, yeah, thanks, there are like you yeah, in.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
The baby stuff five years before.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Like when I was producing videos and stuff, I had
to buy like a bunch of shit for set pieces
and stuff. I remember, and one of those things yeah
yeah yeah yeah, the ones the brains that I do
fuck with baby wise, I still stay curry.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Yeah up on that ship. Yeah yeah all right, unsubscribe.
All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna go through and start
unsubscribing from the ones.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It feels very satisfying. It doesn't always work. I have
I'm on for my science life, like a micro biology
list from like decades ago, and they won't let me
off Amtrak. I think I can't find the unsubscribe button
from them, but like the ones that you can like unsubscribe,
it's very satisfying. You're like, I did a task today.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Right, lose my number at right? Aid if you.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Can't ghost him, ghost them, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yes, exactly, And there's definitely like apps that do that.
But I'm always like, I'm I'm sure I'm giving you
something in exchange for and now we see your entire
email box like that right right, right, right right, I'll
just click them.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah, you guys, get any like stay on, Like do
you receive emails from like Trump or anything like that,
just to like kind of see what's going on with
the crew.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Is that a caveat it?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yeah? Yeah, like just to see just like see what
he's up to.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Maga curious you know what I mean, Like if you
still aren't.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Sure how he got my number, but he has some
interesting things to say. Guys.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I feel like Jack is turning light.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I stay at the beginning of every episode today. I
am white. I am white. Yeah, but I have gotten
some good insights from some of his texts.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I can't I can't I just like I'm pretty good
at I'm pretty good at like getting mad at political
texts and emails. So I'm like off of all of them.
So like, so far this election season did a good
jobs time.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, Like all my unread text are like, hey, it's
act blue. We will match your donation seven x times
if you help kamel.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Of my literally obsessed with me like hot jack, that's
like pretty hot. You guys would be such a power couple.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Don't kiss and tell. Those are private texts. Yeah, those
are the same ones everybody else gets, like hair is
wet for me that.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We're like, we see him one day, his hair is dry.
We're like, oh no, I like I will hate text
back to like volunteer some stuff for campaigns. I'll be
like what, like why is your person supporting this ship?
Or if it's like somebody who's like really like right wing,
(17:55):
I'll just like go ham on them. But like I
think they've got I feel like they were like we
have to not text her because then our feelings will
get hurt, right, we have to stay off that list.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
The hardest one I've unsubscribed from a mailing list from
Ember the coffee Cup. Then oh yeah, that warms keeps
your coffee hot. That it was like, it's a good
idea in theory, didn't work out for me a power user.
I just like ordered one and somehow accidentally clicked to
the wrong button and cannot unsubscribe.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I think it's so unfair when like you order something
and they're like, in order to get a discount, you
have to give us your email or like sign up
for this thing. I'm like, like, I'm gonna just save
us the time, Like, just save us the effort. That's
why I have fuck you promo at gmail dot com
that you know, just dump them in there. Yeah, just
(18:48):
just take ump. Yeah, you're not gonna get I'm gonna
use that as my diary. If I like really want
to reach you, Miles, I'm gonna be like.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That, fuck you, Bobby, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Okay? I literally just ordered door Dash, but like it's
literally door Dash because I saw a tweet that was
like afterwards, like get so you feel so discussed. It's
like post door Dash clarity, You're like I wasn't even
that good and it was so expensive.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
What have I done?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And then she was literally just like I was talking
to my financial planner, and like he was like, yeah, my
son spends two thousand dollars a month on door Dash
and I was like that's I was in my head.
I was like that's not bad. And then I was
like what I know. I like, but it's like literally
like I feel like they're getting all of us. And
then somebody on Twitter called it a taxi for your
(19:42):
burrito and I was like, shut up, yeah like me,
it was like a right wing guy.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
So I, oh, yeah, yeah it is. Was the is
like is the economy bad or did you get a
private car for your burrito?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And it's like private tax Yeah. It was like inflation
or something. And it's like, but we have to get
private taxis because we're working like a million I mean
not me, I'm not working right now, but like we're
working like a million jobs. We're depressed, and like all
we can do is get a taxi for our burrito.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Job driving taxi for other people's burritos so that you
can yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Can order your own precious burrito. Yeah, so it is
like overrate and then they like Jackie's my boyfriend always
has an issue with this. He's like, why do I
have to tip them the same, like the same if
they're bringing one bag and it's one stop versus multiple stops,
it's the same tipping polys like it was like the
charges and the fees are like it doesn't make sense
(20:41):
for the drivers, you know, and the tipping doesn't make
sense either, Like it's just weird.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
But yeah, it's almost like it's predatory, almost like.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
It's very addicting because anyway, I'm enjoying my latte.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Yeah, what a combo. Let's take a quick break and
we'll be right back to talk about the Rock and
we're back. We're back, And yeah, this one caught my
(21:22):
attention to Miles the Rock because I remember seeing the ads.
I think I think I saw like one of the
ads maybe one of them went viral or it was
like what the fuck is this.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
For the UFL or something the Rock posted?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I think I think it was something the Rock posted.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, well, I thought you said you this caught your
attention because America is currently flying their flags at half masted,
because the country we once knew has truly died. Yes,
Dwayne the Rock Johnson apparently has no fucking power over
young men to get them interested in enlisting in the Army,
and he, along with his minor league football team, the UFL,
(22:03):
recently entered into an eleven million dollar marketing deal with
the Army for an ad campaign and it went absolutely nowhere.
Apparently he only posted two out of the five IG
posts in his contract, and the UFL apparently is just
a clown show with like one tenth of the viewers
that college football has. So the Pentagon's like, damn, what
(22:25):
are we doing here? So they're looking to get like
at least six million back from the Rock and it
apparently this campaign went so poorly that an internal review
in the Pentagon showed that this whole campaign actually cost
them eight thirty eight enlistments. They lost thirty eight people
because Okay, this.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Is like a thredible turn the Rock turned heel for
the Army. I fucking love this. They didn't see it coming.
They pulled out the chair. Okay. Also, like, I'm so
sorry that the Pentagon did not have enough intel agents
to understand that this would happen before. Yeah, what is
your whole thing, pentagonthen is that your thing?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Like?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
No, right, this is like a seventeen year old idea,
Like this was supposed to happen before social media, because
now they clearly don't know where gen Z is. They're
on TikTok, they're not they're not watching live B grade
football on TV. And this is like similar to like
the National Guard they spent eighty eight million dollars on
(23:29):
a NASCAR sponsorship that also rendered fuck all in the
number of people that actually enlisted. But like, this crisis
is so bad, but it's just it's compounded by the
fact that the Pentagon is barred from taking ads out
on TikTok because you know to because too many people
in Congress are like the Chinese government will steal our
secrets if you even look at TikTok. So they're like us.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I thought it was like the Chinese government be like
we're not going to fucking dirty work at like go ahead.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Buy some fucking ads, just see what happens. But like
they're bar from that investment, so they're like, uh, Nascar.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
This is like when the when people on the left
are so far left, they're like conservative again, like they
become anti vaxxers. Now the right is doing that. They're
so far right, they're like anti army.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Yeah, I will say, like I have seen I watch
a lot of reality TV, and I have seen a
lot of ads for the Army on like like the
worst reality TV shows on Peacock like, and it's like
it very like the types of ads I see on
certain shows.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I'm like, I know that they're going for a certain
like demographic in terms of like like ability, Like I
don't know, it just seems like why would you put
this on like the trashiest TV shows, you know, like
My Guilty Pleasures?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, because like one of them is like I saw
this one is like for the Navy, and it's like
this Navy Special Forces guy and like they're like there's
just like this like he comes out of the water
and he's like, yeah, join up. He's like and do
things you can't even talk about. That's been crazy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's where you go when you like work at a
(25:04):
black site or something. What the fuck are we talking here?
But it's more like it's a classified secret missions. The
other ones like are meant to like evoke like playing
Call of Duty clearly because they're so fucking action packed, right,
it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I feel like they're all over those games, right, Like
aren't they partial sponsors of some of those games and
like in the same way that they were for like
Top Gun and all that shit, Like they I feel
like they have partnerships or whatever, because you wouldn't be
able to like have all the quote my eight year
old weaponry that they have in you know, like isn't
(25:40):
that part of the deal.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I think so probably, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I have to assume, and I'm not going to do
any research to find out.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
What if they start like like interacting with video games
so that it's kind of like NBA or NFL video
games where you can like have specific war crime killers
like in the game right, like the guy who killed
Osama just in the right, right, right. This is so
(26:10):
dope of one of the ads that I saw. It
was like it was kind of like a hey, like
the Armies for the Woke mob too, Like it was like, look,
look at all these like black and brown people working
in the army and like how it like got us
where we are or whatever. And it was kind of
crazy because like that was the one that I saw
(26:31):
the most. But like a lot of these army ads,
like those people I assume they're actually in the army
because they're terrible at speaking, Like they're awful at like
being in front of a camera and I'm like, who
is this? That man looks scared, like who is this?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Right? Because if he said the real reason he enlisted
is because I've been my socioeconomic possibilities are so limited
by design in this country that my only recourse is
to join this kill machine. Anyway, Yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Was the ad I might join. It might be like, right,
wait a minute, am I gonna die? This fucking rocks?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Two thousand dollars a month on burrito taxis? So I
had to list.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
How many times do you think they have approached mister
beast to be like all right, all right, all right, right,
new pitch, New pitch. You pay someone three hundred thousand
dollars to speed run an active war zone? Like, well,
what are we talking here?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You know we'll let you plug your chocolate bars.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, he's like a recruiter. He's like, I'm going to
lock you in a basement unless you sign this.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
The Skibbity toilet universe has like army branding. I'm sure
in its future. We'll see, we'll see how they the Pentagon,
that Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Bring us in. We got some ideas for you, okay,
real like the mad Men of the Future.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You want to like invest in like some improv teams, Yes,
that could work, you know, and develop some shows that
may have been canned by improv.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Has more of a cult following than the military, so like, yes.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
More than the CFL or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The rocks people are tuning into here, Matt Besser, do improv.
I'm telling you who's tuning into here? Fucking you know,
Steve Reedi say something about the fucking military none.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Okay, yeah, and it's just as financially exploited as.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
All right, let's move on. The big story as of
Thursday was still Trump's Wednesday interview with three black women
journalists at the what was it the.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
College or National Association.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Of National Association of sorry.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Black of Journalists?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Why wasn't that at the top of your tongue?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Jack?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Why didn't you know what that was?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Journalists?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Are you not a fan? Are you not a fan
of that?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Jack?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Jack? State your race right now? State your race, white man. Okay, okay, okay,
I heard you guys.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Get a spike in listeners the normal Yeah, I come
back on next time. This is a right wing podcast.
Fully you guys are getting like army sponsorships.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I mean we're flirting, you know, like JD. Vance at
a couch store. But it's uh yeah, there's still the
mainstream Republicans who are like that is not the Republican party.
But Trump seems to be spiking the football.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
JD.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Vance seems to think he nailed it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He said he crushed it.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Yeah, wait, what what if some Republicans, some mainstream Republicans
said about it, like what are they how are they
trying to like spin it?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Well, like, for example, you have people like Lisa Murkowski
who is like, what's going on? What's he talking about?
D I like kind of be like confused, not necessarily condemning.
Then they're like in this Axios report, there were a
lot of people who were going like like anonymously saying
like it was awful, which is so brave that you're
anonymously saying this. Other people are like it's I think
(30:14):
Larry Hogan, who's probably like the most center brother yea brother,
the governor of Maryland. It was like the least trumpy
Republican was like it was this was like unacceptable and
a warrant, But at the same time, like this is
the party that you let this man in. Don't act stupid.
This is what it's been a while now. So a
(30:36):
lot of people are trying to save face. I'm also
pretty irritated, like how like left leaning media, liberal media
is like just salivating over this to be like the
Republicans are gonna panic over this. It's like no, they're
fucking not. They are just they are just posturing to
try and save face because that's the most they can do.
Other people have been more saying stuff like well, that's
not how you're gonna win undecided voters, like as like
(30:59):
the spiciest criticism Jesse Waters on Fox like kind of
did crazy that guy?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
And so does his own mother?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, exactly. Better homes in garden, I think is what
his grandfather was like the publisher of and.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Really, yeah, yeah, god, would you be just starting your home? Okay, grandfather?
What the hell happened there?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
But like Jesse Water is like, I don't know if
I would have said that was like the most he said,
but then he started doing said slurs, but then he
used then they started going around like what is African America?
Then started doing that whole shit, and we're like, okay,
so just shut the fuck up. I'm tired of hearing
these people try and parse through like what is Jamaican
(31:40):
or black or not? Because this is just again He's
Trump has just kicked off the new birther movement because
a bunch of the people who are not pundits but
are just like this sort of echo chamber online or
people who write the dumb blogs and shit are all
sort of lockstep and being like but I mean it
is kind like doing it more like I don't know.
I'm just saying that's like that type of energy about it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Race analysis from white people is so funny. I'm like,
you tell us the nuances of the different creatures.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
There was one. There was one where like Trump reposted
like a photo of like Kamala as a kid like
with her Indian family, Like yeah, sorry, She's like wow,
good to see you, so proud of it. It's like
br like if like in Japan, if I was wearing
like you cut that or something, I'm not let them
being like let me fucking make sure I gotta blunt
hang like whatever the fuck I'm like, would you?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Okay, First of all, this man does not understand Indian
people because like we love dressing up people of other
races in our out. Have you seen white girls at weddings?
Speaker 7 (32:38):
We are, okay, exactly, like we fucking love Like you're
not gonna separate us with this bullshit.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
We love seeing like black women and sorry, like I
love seeing other cultures. I'm sorry. So it's like, even
if you're like, oh, she's denying one or the other,
like posting like cute pictures of her celebrating this culture,
is not gonna like deny her history.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
It just like underscores the rigidity of how they look
at race in general. It's like, what are what things
are that isn't white?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
That they were like, we would never commit miscegenation, So
we don't understand this. We don't understand race mixing. You
have to pick check ant know, if you've heard he
said this is a white genocide happening. Okay, yeah, that's
what we're interested in. That's those are the babies were satan.
They don't understand interracial if it's not white with something else.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You know, they're like, wait, they do that.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I thought they're mad?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Are they allowed?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:37):
But it's brought the fact that Trump is racist back
to the front and center. Of the mainstream media, which
is where his candidacy started and seems to be Yeah, yeah,
he threw dude.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
A perfect distraction bomb from him because, like I was
saying on the Wednesday Trending episode, this is this was
purely like people were like, Oh, he embarrassed himself. I'm like,
he he's turning up the base with this ship. Yes,
and predicted what he had, and now they're all saying
the same dumb shit. So it's like, at the same time,
it's like, what's the point of even replict yes, water
(34:15):
is wet, Trump is racist? Move like this is not
news and wasting headlines and airtime over talking about like
what a biracial person is just absurd.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
I do think like the way to respond to that
is to like post Kamala dancing with like her sorority,
Like you know what I mean, Like she's clearly like
black and has celebrated being black for like a long
time and has participated in black culture. So I feel
like the way to like memify it is to post
her being cultural in both aspects, like he's already doing
(34:47):
the Indian side, like.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
The duality of it.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Yeah, like that will like unite people behind her like
quirkiness and her let you know, like the stuff that
gets memed online sure that they're so con used about,
Like yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I think this is like sort of it. It was
more it turns up turns into somewhat of a blessing
for Trump because the conversation is like off of Kamala Harrison,
like that campaign, and it's now back on him and
what he's saying about her.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
True.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
And that's something that I think they've been contending with
the last week because they're like.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
We're not weird.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
We just like, yeah, that's fucked upholstered things. I don't
know whatever, you know what I mean, And like, I
think that is sort of a gift. I guess. Also
there are people who are like being like, wow, I
can't believe he went there, But that just seems like
the standard response for like rip all the racist shit
he said all the time, right, yeah, Like when you
(35:40):
have other things I think that are important to talk
about too, like you know, like the delegates that are
representing the uncommitted movement, you know, like against Biden's gaza policy.
Like there right now, they're asking the DNC if they
can have a speaking time during the convention like just
a five minute slot and it and like with someone
who uh like five like a health worker who had
(36:02):
just come back, Like they just want to give some
space to that person. And right now the DNC hasn't
said anything back. The people who are you know, organizing
that movement are like really trying to get in front
of Kamala Harris to be like we need to understand,
like have some kind of dialogue here, like we just
can't ignore this group of people. And many people, especially
even if they didn't vote that way, just your basic
(36:23):
polling shows this is an issue within the party that
needs to be addressed and just doing the thing again
to be like man and because it's also convenient for
Democrats be like, wow, Trump's so racist? What's wrong with
the Republicans? And now we're here, we're not talking about
like other things, like about what this you know, the
future of America can be outside of well, it's not
going to be Trump.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Do you think though that? Like because it feels like
the discourse is like never going to be about these
like specific things on like a large scale level, Like
so like with the memes of like coconut tree and
like brat and weird, Like those are all esthetics things
that take over like the mainstream discourse. So like regardless,
(37:04):
I mean, Trump does like garner like all of the
attention in his favor when he says something ridiculous, and
then it does take away from like the momentum of
the Democratic candidate or whatever. But it seems like those
details are never like there's always going to be distraction,
you know what I mean, Like those details are never
going to be hammered out in the public square.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I think, well when you look at just even how
the media like handles things, even like when those like
aid workers were killed in Gaza that were like, you know,
like that apparently were like oh my god, volunteers from
abroad or getting killed that you David, it's so quick,
you know what I mean. So yeah, to your point,
that appetite isn't there, especially from you know, the upholders
of the status quo and like sort of mass media
(37:44):
for sure. But yeah, again I think that's why a
lot of people are just so like man like can
there are other so many other things to talk about,
but this also dictates what people talk about. And so yeah,
if now for sure this is what people are talking
about and yeah, it's just a uh. I think it's
Trump doing his Trump thing, the media doing the like
(38:04):
it's sort of become reflexive at this point, like they're
calling response to his racism. Yeah, but like to the
point where other people are like this just doomed Donald Trump.
I'm like, this didn't doom him, Like.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
No, he's just saying this. He came out saying Mexican's
are rapist, Like right, yeah, that was an opener.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
An escalator saying that before we even got to the mic.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
And it's like.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
The US I don't think we talked about how dvid
was of him to come down that escalator, Like you
know what I mean, like what an entrance?
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Yeah, wow's fake with fake audience there.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
How can you be anti dragon come down an escalator
that way?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yeah, well he doesn't notice dunk queeness.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
I read some analysis that was like the twenty sixteen
it seems like whoever the election becomes about loses. Like
in twenty sixteen it became about Hillary in a lot
of ways. Twenty twenty it was about like Trump as
a failed president, And now I think they're probably competing
to make the election about about the other one. I
(39:05):
feel like this probably plays into the Democrats' ability to, yeah,
not talk about Gaza or any anything like that, just
keep the focus on Trump and the Republicans and him
being obsessed with like what race are you can like
tie into like the weird you know, part of their messaging,
(39:29):
which is unfortunate that that is like seems to be
the strategy. But I feel like they are going to
continue to say as little as fucking possible, of course.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Because then you don't have to you don't have to
contend with harder questions like about how do we fundamentally
change like our social programs in this country?
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Just like let them get get them elected and then
they're going to do the right then they'll do it.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
But did you hear what Trump said about Biracials? Right,
I'm sorry Biracials? What did you say? They're going to be?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
And then extend Trump for another eight years to make
sure they can keep him out there just talking shit
so that they can, you know, as a foil like
an NBA contract, they're like, hey, can we get you
under contract for another like type four eight years?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
I mean, they really they really did do that, Like
some like with like more local elections. They did invest
in like they like actually paid maga people, they donated
to their their supported bolstered their problem in order to
like defeat them. And it's like some of them didn't,
like did not end up the way they hoped they would,
you know what I mean, Like some of them but
like maybe didn't have the overall effect they wanted. But
(40:39):
that's like all it is to them is like is
a way to stay in power.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, there's also like you know, I think recently Vivic
what Ramaswami was also saying, like he kind of like
was reach.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Man my guy, but they I know that guy I
grew up with. I like not him, but like the
stereotype of him. Oh my god, so much energy.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
He's like posting stuff now He's like, we gotta stop,
Like we need to actually talk about like policy now.
He's like it's not sticking. That is so funny covering
for Joe Biden. It's not sticking that she failed at
the border. It's like we need to find like we
just we have to come up with people's like a
vision for the future.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Whenever you do do not talk about Indian people. Do
not talk about Indian people. Do not talk about Indian people. Yeah,
did you see the Like I don't know if you
guys covered this, but you do see when like Anne
Colter told him to his face that she wouldn't vote
for him because he was an Indian and then later
he had a debrief about it and it was like, well,
you were a little bitch while she said it. What happened. Yeah,
(41:42):
it's just very funny, Like how like Indian Republicans immediately turn.
It's like they're gonna come for all of us, Like
what did you expect You thought you were white bitch? No,
not even you, Nikki Haley, I don't think so. If
you had been at the center of this, you would
have been fucked.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Like Francesca Ramsey always posts like on Twitter Instagram, like
I didn't think the leopards would eat my face for
every time, like minorities, like the conservative machine came for me,
but I was good, Like.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Laren was like pro choice and they ate her up.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Like yeah, yeah, the leopards ate my face. Great.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
Sorry, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we are back and Paul the are you keep
it up on the Olympics at all?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Yes? And okay, my favorite thing now, Like, obviously, women's
gymnastics is amazing, women's swimming's swimming is Have you been
paying attention to women's rugby? It is fucking amazing. God.
Literally there was one I forget, I don't remember her name,
but she like literally there was like a fan cam
(42:58):
of all of her stuff. She was she like got tackled,
stood up and carried someone running with the.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
Ball, like carry each other so much, Like.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Why I'm like, first of all, this is the gayest shit,
Like why is this not promoted more during June because
like all like queer like fems would go crazy for it.
And second of all, it's just like so insane and
so awesome and all of the tiktoks that Alana is
posting because like people were calling her a man, yeah,
people were calling her overweight, and I'm like, like I tweet,
(43:28):
I was like people are talking about her bmi. I'm
like that bitch is a Bronze medalist baby, like like
like what are you talking? I don't know. It's so
I love Like now I'm like obsessed with I'm like,
can I see it? Because a lot of the appeal
of these sports is it's not things that like a
lot of America watches or attends lives throughout the year,
like it's every four years that we all get like
(43:50):
really tuned in. But most people like we don't see
like rugby all the time or like go to our
local rugby games, you know. So now I'm like, I
want to go see rugby, I know, right.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
And yeah, I think you want to see I want
to watch more volleyball. I want to watch more like badminton.
I like badminton is dope.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Badminton is very Indian. Indians love racket sports.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
Yeah, yeah, the racket the racket sports. The lesser racket sports,
or maybe not the lesser, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, they're the more intense ones.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
But the Yeah, I mean I think the other benefit
too is like you can at least like they're superlatives.
You're like, these are the best people in the world.
It's not you're not seeing like the random like metrecs supplements,
Kayak Fest twenty, you know what I mean, Like, these
are the people who are like, these are the best
people in the world you're going to see. So it's
at the highest level typically, unless like someone you know,
(44:40):
you know, super talented is like injured or whatever. But
I think that's the other benefit is like, okay, so
this is like the best at shooting a little air
gun with your hand in your pocket.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Yeah that guy. Wait, that's wait, my favorite guy.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
This is breaking. Breaking news for Thursday is that Simone
Biles just became the first woman to win two Olympic
all around titles.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
I love her. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
And then I think Katie Ladecki about to be like
the most decorated woman.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
Most decorated female Olympian of all time.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
I think that bit is crazy. She's like swimming extra
laps just for fun after the races, like she's just
like so far ahead of them. She's like, maybe I'll
take another round.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
Yeah, do you have any idea Wait?
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Wait, did you also see the Simone Biles Mikayla.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, format it wasn't Mikayla Maroney. It was
a different Mikayla who was who like had like a
real like right wing take where.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
The wife esthetic Yeah, she was like crazy.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Now the like they can't now that they've like taken
the abuse out of gymnastics coaching, these kids aren't like
tough anymore. And Simone Biles was just like came at
her when she said that a few months ago, and
now like the first post after they won gold as
a team, she like was like, yeah, I guess we're
(46:05):
a bunch of them, like quoted the thing that she said, lazy. Yeah. Yeah, anyways, I.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Noticed that lazy Olympic champions.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
And then the other Mikayla Maroney, was like, oh my god,
I got to redeem my first name.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
I mean, Mikayla. I noticed though that a lot of
what we were talking about also shout out Chase Butdinger.
Do you remember him, Miles from the NBA. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
the dude white guy who had like crazy hops and
is now the USA Beach Volleyball.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:42):
Yeah, that was fun. But all these stories that we
keep telling seemed to be about the athletes weirdly, and
it seems like the Olympics, the whole kind of weird
capitalist enterprise is doing a late stage, this stage, whatever
stage of capitalism we're in, and just like not taking
(47:05):
care of the thing that, like the talent that drives
the entire enterprise. Because the food in the Olympic village,
you would think like that would be one thing they
would go out of their way. It's Paris, it's these
are people who like need fuel. And like I remember,
like I read that book Boys in the Boat because
(47:27):
I'm just so old, but it was like about an
Olympic rowing team that went to the Berlin Olympics, and
like the food, Like all those guys could like talk
about was how good the food, Like how well fed
they were at the Olympic village. Granted they had all
grown up in the depression, so I think just like
two steaks and French fries was like all you needed.
But the athletes are like, the food here fucking sucks
(47:51):
you guys. Like one shot put track and field athlete
was like lip saying the phrase you disappointed me on
TikTok while showing the camera something that looked like it
was like rock candy, but charred beef. It was like
rock candy, crystal beach, Yeah, crystallized beef. And it was
(48:14):
one of the first things Simone Bile said after the
women's gymnastics team won gold during a press conference. Somebody
was like, yeah, like so you must be enjoying the
French cuisine, huh, And she said, here's the thing. I
don't think we're having proper French cuisine in the village,
like you guys might be eating because you're outside the village,
so you the fucking media are getting to eat better
(48:37):
than us.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
The like high performance, the reason y'all are Okay, okay,
hold on, am I hearing that right now? They would
really all these Olympic athletes could really use a private
taxi for a burrito?
Speaker 4 (48:51):
Is what you say? Okay, all right, okay, I love
your sponsorship, not really fuck you guys. Anyways, there's a
lot of.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
You guys should do anti sponsorship where each week you
just say.
Speaker 4 (49:08):
You sponsor, we kind of have that'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
I'm scared scared a few.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Off this week is not brought to you by these bitches.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
These motherfuckers and burn They won't leave me alone, but
my child because the youngest member of the gymnastics team
was like, I don't think it's very good at least
what we're having in the dining hall, Like it's fucking
I don't know, it's just so amazing, Like they're they're
pouring over a billion dollars into making the river temporary,
(49:45):
like the sind temporarily clean enough to swim in, and
then like that's all going to go away, like it's
just a temporary deal to make themselves look okay, like
a fucking temporary magic trick, and they failed at it.
It was unsick, that's full. The triathletes were like the
water tastes like literal ship.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Probably did you hear what the Belgian triathlete woman she said,
She said, I felt and saw things that we shouldn't
think about.
Speaker 3 (50:17):
Honey, that's like horror movie.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Yeah, you have to get so focused like oh that
ship just.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
But we should be doing that to our Olympic athletes.
I love this terrible food. It's more relatable. Okay, if
they have if they're like training training, training, and then
they have to deal with like the worst potato on
the planet, or if they have to like swim through.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Approach the training where it's on a farm where you
can barely survive.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
Horse on an actual horse. Let me see some variations, okay.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Like when they buy on team so it's like rickety.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Like, yeah, well we don't get the best things.
Speaker 4 (51:01):
It's not a point like they've been put back in
time to like the days of like barely like subsistence farming.
But they're basically back to the days of like shitty
college area that feels like where they're.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
At, which, yeah, humble yourselves, Olympic athletes. I'm tired of
your bodies being a temple.
Speaker 4 (51:24):
So much more and more money being poured into this
and it's not going to the people who actually drive it.
It's going to the corporate sponsors.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Well. The other thing that's true, a lot of people
are like accusing the like organizers of the Olympics of
like it's a there's a two tiered Olympic village basically
because there's no air conditioning because they're trying to be greener.
But if you wanted for a fee, you could pay
for air conditioning. So some obviously Olympic association like national associations,
(51:53):
are able to foot that bill. Others are not. There's
like Team Great Britain they had to bring their own
cook out because they were like they.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
Were like, what is Britain gonna cook?
Speaker 2 (52:04):
Come on, they're like these guys who lift weights. There's
not enough fucking protein.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
Protein, not enough eggs.
Speaker 3 (52:13):
And toasts, that's what we need.
Speaker 4 (52:14):
The way that this is getting pitched in the mainstream
media is that like, uh, it woke my virus. There's
not enough animals, they didn't kill enough animals. They're too
scared to be serious. Yeah, but it's gotta be It
can't be that. It's just gotta be fucking corporate bullshit.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
I love that they're disney landing. What do they have
fast laying passes for a sake?
Speaker 2 (52:35):
Like, yeah, oh you want to take a ship, Well
you can take a Genie pass because there's you.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
Can just do it in the river because nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (52:45):
Legitimately, eight people in like US tennis player Cocoa Golf,
This is a quote from that Afford's Circle. US tennis
player Cocoa Golf lamented how she and nine other women
shared two bathrooms in the Olympic village. That's how she's
like internationally like she's for multi multi millionaire, like superstar,
(53:08):
and she's like they're just making her sleep on cardboard
beds in the village. Again, Like I get the appeal
that it's like it's kind of cool that like they're
having to live through shitty conditions to win these medals,
But like when you look at the amount of like
the fucking American Express employees and like board members who
(53:29):
are being like probably ferried around in ambulances to cut
through the traffic, like.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
From one event to a form for them.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
Yeah, exactly, And it's very much the yeah, like worker
owner class dynamic where it's like the games we're seeing here.
Speaker 4 (53:47):
Yeah, you the very.
Speaker 2 (53:48):
People who's literal physical labor and physical exertion that we
count on to sell these sponsorships to. You can eat
crystal beef and an old end my ship literally in
the river. Here's the river, and you can wait in
line for seven hours to try and use the bathroom
while we eat fucking wool freet or whatever. You know,
(54:09):
our stakehold plav and a really wonderful white tablecloths.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
What the fuck you're in France? Protest? That's what those
people do take in the culture. Fucking burn some ship down,
you know what I mean, probably the streets burn some
ship down.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Can you imagine? I wonder what kind of like secret
police force they have. They're like, there's not a lot
of people are making noise in the Olympic village, right,
we don't have to put down any kind of uprisings.
Speaker 3 (54:32):
Yeah, and then the firefighters are like, we're on your side.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
Yeah, it's Krista both.
Speaker 4 (54:41):
Well, Paula, what a pleasure having you on the all
by so fast? Where can people find you and follow you?
And all that good stuff?
Speaker 3 (54:51):
Follow my Olympic journey at Paulaviganalen. It's mostly me on
the couch being like I can do that, you know
what I meant? P A L l A V I
g U n A l A n everywhere. I am
currently unemployed, so I gotta get famous and you're just
gonna have to do that for me. Okay, likes people,
(55:12):
you better follow me. I also don't want to work
for it, so just make it easy. We also run
at a monthly show called Facial Recognition Comedy at the
Comedy Store. The next one is August twentieth, and I
think the one after that is September twentieth. We get
really dope lineups. It's in the belly room. It's super fun.
It's packed out come through, and then I'm going to
(55:33):
be like perform I'm doing some like festivals and shit

Speaker 4 (55:47):
Amazing. Is there a work a media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
Okay, on this discourse there is I have two tweets.
One tweet is Roywood Junior, who is amazing, say quote
tweeted the Trump interview and was like, we now know
Kamala's brave story. When did the rest of you turn black?
How old were you? Where were you when your blackness?
(56:11):
When the blackness finally took over your body? Share your stories?
This is a safe space. Ashually when I turned black
and then at bard Rock Cafe, which should give you
a hint about what this sweet is going to be about.
Said so. Simone Biles jumping approximately seven to eight feet
above the ground twelve feet including her height, means we
now know her strength score in D and D. A
(56:32):
creature in D and D five E has a vertical
jump of three feet plus strength mod. So since she
dumped more than seven feet, that's strength of twenty fam uniting,
uniting nerds everywhere.
Speaker 4 (56:46):
It is miles. Where can people find use their work
media you've been enjoying.
Speaker 2 (56:51):
Yeah, find me at Miles of Gray on Twitter and Instagram.

the other number one basketball podcast, but this one is
called Miles and Jack on mad Boost. That's our basketball podcast.

us slides and the other tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (57:25):
You have two questions you can ask us, and you
could also if you like trash reality like Paula v
does and we all do to kind of help, you know,
just treat our wounds of living in this world. You
can find me on for twenty Fiance talking about ninety
day Fiance piece of media. I like this was like
a real I saw of This is so relatable as
(57:47):
I think anybody who grows up playing Uno with your family,
like when you're young, there's that moment where an adult
like just starts clean, just starts cleaning your ass out,
like you. They're like they got seven cards and like
skip to rev draw for blah blah blah. And this
is like the moment where a mom is about to
play her Uno reverse to like end the fucking game,
(58:08):
and this poor girl is screaming, like begging her not
to just fucking like moist your ass this is.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
Oh my god, she's like.
Speaker 2 (58:23):
That was super relatable as somebody who has been on
both sides of that kind of UNO smashing. So yeah,
that was a piece of media that was very relatable.
So I love playing like that, like with my nephews.
Speaker 3 (58:35):
My family like cheats at Uno like and they'll like
my like it's a huge monopoly and Una are huge
in my family. And like my cousins will like speak
in different languages to ask each other what color cards
they have, like or they'll put down like two because
they all speak like five languages, and like the American
cousins are like, we don't know English, and like they'll
put down like two or three cards at a time
(58:56):
or only draw a few or like you know what
I mean, Like oh wow, they find like great ways
to cheat, so we all lose our shit.
Speaker 2 (59:02):
Oh that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (59:03):
I had a question about your basketball podcast. Yeah, are
you guys covering the Olympics now? Yes, we are so great?
Did I was like obsessed with South Sudan yesterday. I
didn't see like all of the game, but it was
like as they were playing, they were like, yeah they
they only trained for like a few weeks a year
or like a few weeks eftery however long and they
(59:23):
have to train in other countries. I'm like, this is
so not fair. And it's like one one former player
is like bankrolling.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
The whole team too.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (59:32):
From his own pocket, just because he's like yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:35):
Yeah, anyways, amazing.
Speaker 4 (59:39):
You can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore. Obrien,
you should listen to the episode that Jacques was on. Yeah,
let's see a tweet I've been enjoying. M Nate Shyamalan tweeted,
Oh yeah, Well, if we're so weird, then how do
you explain this? I say, as I invent a brand
new form of racism that is somehow so horny.
Speaker 3 (01:00:02):

what song do you think people might enjoy?
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
This? Guy? Deli so Seemi was the keyboard player. If
you like Fella Kuti, he was like the keyboard player
in Fellow's original backing band. He also played with Femi Kuti,
Fella Kuti's son. And now he's you know, he's got
his own career. This is a track from an album
he did. This is called The Confluence LP. And this
track is just super dope. It like remind us like
(01:00:47):
his zero seven was kind of like more afrobeat centric.
But anyway, this track is called most.
Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Will.
Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
You're gonna have to look at the footnotes for the
spelling of that, but again soon for Adupe biby track
and just a great band together. And it's interesting to
hear like someone who sound is so specific to one
genre is kind of transposed to other ones. So this
is a track we're going out on by Delea, so
see me amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
We will link off to that in the footnote. The

got a filling my dentist. You know, like I guess
you have to hit like this lingual nerve to sort
of numb the specific area, like that's the thing for you,
bilingual nerve, wow, radio bilingue nerve. And the dude hit
(00:36):

My whole shit was Yeah, it was ringing.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You went back to the same person.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, I mean it was like it was definitely. I
was reading about it. It's not like it's not really
necessarily a technique thing like sometimes I think it just
you know, it's like kind of a crap shoot. But
I don't know, maybe I'm coping because I think that's.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
What sad dentists say. No, no, no, dude, it's actually
just like a crap shoot.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It didn't occur to me to like a few like
hours after and the ship wasn't it like was still
kind of numb and weird. And then I started looking
it up and then like sometimes the lingual I don't
know anyway, I'm here.

and I still went back because I'm used to bad men.

Yeah, I've I've always heard that and assumed it was
considered by some being people from Dayton, Ohio.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
To be the No, it's because the amount of like
black church bands in Dayton like gave way to these
like huge funk groups.

went to that church. Went to Incarnation. Shout out to

Point where the Catholic church opened it up to acoustic guitars.
For most of my life, it was just like peopos,

a ship poster, like.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I love it so much. The whole time we were like, man,

most piece of misinformation was this guy fucks a couch.

A very long time and he's always been black to me, Japanese.
Today he's Japanese.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I didn't know, folks. I thought he was one of
those anime blacks. That's what you're speaking Japanese. So well,
it's one of these otaku types.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
He's like anamorphing into different races.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Have you seen all the fucking black and white Michael
Jackson memes people have been playing. They're like, this is
what he thinks, because there is that one scene where
goes from like this South Indian woman to like Isaiah
Thomas like oh yeah, or.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Like people have been posting like Sammy Sosa and stuff too.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Of like yeah, got that.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Morph technology really had a moment there in the early nineties,
the black and White video and Terminator who I feel
like they came out of the same like the same summer, dude.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It was. I remember it was a huge thing for
like artists too, because my dad at the time, I
remember he was working on like these digital art pieces
and making Pat Buchanan look like a black man and
ship from the early nineties, and that was your project
for pap Buchanan, Right, it was like a kink, Yeah,
can you make me? Can you make me look like
a black guy? Thanks?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I remember that because I was like so young, so
like yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I was seventeen at the time.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
In nineteen ninety two, I was forty three years old.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I remember pretty what are you bid him?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
That was the first technology that I was scared to
buy morphine. The hell is this? Anyways? Yeah, that was
my first brush with Ai Paul of You were going
to get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we are going to tell the listeners
a couple of the things we're talking about. The Rock
is not good at convincing young men to die for
(10:00):
American imperialism. We just found out the Rock is getting sued.
This is just like a good insights sued.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
They're like, can we have our money back? It sounds
like right now, I mean, the.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Military just asks you nicely for their money back, and
you're like, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
They're like, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
You do?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You know, have you seen what the police do. We're
the fucking art.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Have you seen what the police?
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Can't you smell what the Pentagon is cooking? No, because
we designed it that way, you won't know until it's done.
Talking about we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the
continued fallout from Donald Trump's interview with a panel of
black journalists, and just how the Republicans are making sense
(10:50):
of it. They don't seem to be unified quite yet
on on that. On racism, Will yeah, I mean, it's
just different ways of coping with their own racism. We'll
talk about the food at the Olympics. We'll talk about
the food at Taco Bell now being all of that
plenty more. But first, Paul V, we do like to
(11:10):
ask our guest, what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Okay, this is a shameless plug. So I was looking
for Connie and Ted because my dog rescue that I
volunteer for Hit Living Foundation. They name like dogs according
to random things, so we'll have like the Harry Potter
litter or like you know, like litters of pups, and
so I looked it up and I was like, why
(11:35):
is it Connie and Ted? It looks like it sounds
like hr people. Yeah, they just named it after the
restaurant restaurant because like, we're running out of names, because
we're in a crisis. People adopted dogs. We're running out
of names.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
There's not even ip to name them after.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's like, Yeahnd's but the dog Shelters and Hollywood are
in the same book. They're like, I don't know, Harold's
Magical Purple craym. Maybe maybe like some there's some tertiary
characters from that universe.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
They're scrambling damn c like, but yeah, so that's I
was like looking that up because I didn't know about that.
I was like, why does this sound so weird because
usually they're themed. But yeah, I guess we're just naming
them after local restaurants.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, it was one dog named Kanye and Ted. That's
Good's sponsor. Like we have like ads like painted into
their bag. Yeah yeah, okay, I'm actually writing these down
(12:47):
because we are running.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Namesa Zanku Chicken obviously just for local spots, you know,
just all local.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
We have to name each each puppy one of the
guys from Five Guys.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
They're also the five guys are also snap Crackle Pop.
And then there's a couple more of their.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
There's a couple of extra guys. It was like Destiny's
Child where they like three of them took off. Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I was like, who are the five guys? It's named
after the guy who started it and his sons.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Yeah, that's such a.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Father like American father moment, like we're all just five
guys here. No, you're my dad father's umble.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Now, We're just we're peers.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
We're just hanging out.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Any of his kids?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Yeah, what what's up?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Do you think? Is underrated?
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The unsubscribed button? Okay, I've been going off on that
because like I keep like, I'm yeah, just unsubscribed, because
you can't do that on text messages or like random
you know what I mean. Like there's so many things
that are random where you just I can't spam stuff
or you can't unsubscribe. So the ones that I can,
I'm like, get me out of this hell. And I
(14:05):
just keep pressing it over and over again. And it's
so satisfying to be unsubscribed from any elace.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Does it work?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
So I was I've been fucked up by the there's
that thing where they say, like you can't even hang
up on a spam caller, because then they know you're alive.
They're like, that's a that's like a nibble when you're fishing.
If you hit like line call, they're like, ah, we
got a live one, and so.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
You can call them a scam though, and then they'll
hang up.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Oh they get scared, Go here are you a scam?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah? And then they're like.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
He knows.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Back to the tunnels.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I know. In Gmail too, sometimes we're like, hey, man,
you haven't like opened an email from this baby store
in like seven years. Do you want to unsubscribe? And
I'm like, oh, yeah, thanks, there are like you yeah, in.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
The baby stuff five years before.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Like when I was producing videos and stuff, I had
to buy like a bunch of shit for set pieces
and stuff. I remember, and one of those things yeah
yeah yeah yeah, the ones the brains that I do
fuck with baby wise, I still stay curry.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Yeah up on that ship. Yeah yeah all right, unsubscribe.
All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna go through and start
unsubscribing from the ones.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It feels very satisfying. It doesn't always work. I have
I'm on for my science life, like a micro biology
list from like decades ago, and they won't let me
off Amtrak. I think I can't find the unsubscribe button
from them, but like the ones that you can like unsubscribe,
it's very satisfying. You're like, I did a task today.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Right, lose my number at right? Aid if you.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Can't ghost him, ghost them, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yes, exactly, And there's definitely like apps that do that.
But I'm always like, I'm I'm sure I'm giving you
something in exchange for and now we see your entire
email box like that right right, right, right right, I'll
just click them.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Yeah, you guys, get any like stay on, Like do
you receive emails from like Trump or anything like that,
just to like kind of see what's going on with
the crew.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Is that a caveat it?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yeah? Yeah, like just to see just like see what
he's up to.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Maga curious you know what I mean, Like if you
still aren't.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Sure how he got my number, but he has some
interesting things to say. Guys.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I feel like Jack is turning light.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I stay at the beginning of every episode today. I
am white. I am white. Yeah, but I have gotten
some good insights from some of his texts.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I can't I can't I just like I'm pretty good
at I'm pretty good at like getting mad at political
texts and emails. So I'm like off of all of them.
So like, so far this election season did a good
jobs time.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, Like all my unread text are like, hey, it's
act blue. We will match your donation seven x times
if you help kamel.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Of my literally obsessed with me like hot jack, that's
like pretty hot. You guys would be such a power couple.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Don't kiss and tell. Those are private texts. Yeah, those
are the same ones everybody else gets, like hair is
wet for me that.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
We're like, we see him one day, his hair is dry.
We're like, oh no, I like I will hate text
back to like volunteer some stuff for campaigns. I'll be
like what, like why is your person supporting this ship?
Or if it's like somebody who's like really like right wing,
(17:55):
I'll just like go ham on them. But like I
think they've got I feel like they were like we
have to not text her because then our feelings will
get hurt, right, we have to stay off that list.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
The hardest one I've unsubscribed from a mailing list from
Ember the coffee Cup. Then oh yeah, that warms keeps
your coffee hot. That it was like, it's a good
idea in theory, didn't work out for me a power user.
I just like ordered one and somehow accidentally clicked to
the wrong button and cannot unsubscribe.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I think it's so unfair when like you order something
and they're like, in order to get a discount, you
have to give us your email or like sign up
for this thing. I'm like, like, I'm gonna just save
us the time, Like, just save us the effort. That's
why I have fuck you promo at gmail dot com
that you know, just dump them in there. Yeah, just
(18:48):
just take ump. Yeah, you're not gonna get I'm gonna
use that as my diary. If I like really want
to reach you, Miles, I'm gonna be like.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That, fuck you, Bobby, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Okay? I literally just ordered door Dash, but like it's
literally door Dash because I saw a tweet that was
like afterwards, like get so you feel so discussed. It's
like post door Dash clarity, You're like I wasn't even
that good and it was so expensive.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
What have I done?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
And then she was literally just like I was talking
to my financial planner, and like he was like, yeah, my
son spends two thousand dollars a month on door Dash
and I was like that's I was in my head.
I was like that's not bad. And then I was
like what I know. I like, but it's like literally
like I feel like they're getting all of us. And
then somebody on Twitter called it a taxi for your
(19:42):
burrito and I was like, shut up, yeah like me,
it was like a right wing guy.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
So I, oh, yeah, yeah it is. Was the is
like is the economy bad or did you get a
private car for your burrito?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And it's like private tax Yeah. It was like inflation
or something. And it's like, but we have to get
private taxis because we're working like a million I mean
not me, I'm not working right now, but like we're
working like a million jobs. We're depressed, and like all
we can do is get a taxi for our burrito.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Job driving taxi for other people's burritos so that you
can yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Can order your own precious burrito. Yeah, so it is
like overrate and then they like Jackie's my boyfriend always
has an issue with this. He's like, why do I
have to tip them the same, like the same if
they're bringing one bag and it's one stop versus multiple stops,
it's the same tipping polys like it was like the
charges and the fees are like it doesn't make sense
(20:41):
for the drivers, you know, and the tipping doesn't make
sense either, Like it's just weird.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
But yeah, it's almost like it's predatory, almost like.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
It's very addicting because anyway, I'm enjoying my latte.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Yeah, what a combo. Let's take a quick break and
we'll be right back to talk about the Rock and
we're back. We're back, And yeah, this one caught my
(21:22):
attention to Miles the Rock because I remember seeing the ads.
I think I think I saw like one of the
ads maybe one of them went viral or it was
like what the fuck is this.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
For the UFL or something the Rock posted?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
I think I think it was something the Rock posted.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Yeah, well, I thought you said you this caught your
attention because America is currently flying their flags at half masted,
because the country we once knew has truly died. Yes,
Dwayne the Rock Johnson apparently has no fucking power over
young men to get them interested in enlisting in the Army,
and he, along with his minor league football team, the UFL,
(22:03):
recently entered into an eleven million dollar marketing deal with
the Army for an ad campaign and it went absolutely nowhere.
Apparently he only posted two out of the five IG
posts in his contract, and the UFL apparently is just
a clown show with like one tenth of the viewers
that college football has. So the Pentagon's like, damn, what
(22:25):
are we doing here? So they're looking to get like
at least six million back from the Rock and it
apparently this campaign went so poorly that an internal review
in the Pentagon showed that this whole campaign actually cost
them eight thirty eight enlistments. They lost thirty eight people
because Okay, this.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Is like a thredible turn the Rock turned heel for
the Army. I fucking love this. They didn't see it coming.
They pulled out the chair. Okay. Also, like, I'm so
sorry that the Pentagon did not have enough intel agents
to understand that this would happen before. Yeah, what is
your whole thing, pentagonthen is that your thing?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Like?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
No, right, this is like a seventeen year old idea,
Like this was supposed to happen before social media, because
now they clearly don't know where gen Z is. They're
on TikTok, they're not they're not watching live B grade
football on TV. And this is like similar to like
the National Guard they spent eighty eight million dollars on
(23:29):
a NASCAR sponsorship that also rendered fuck all in the
number of people that actually enlisted. But like, this crisis
is so bad, but it's just it's compounded by the
fact that the Pentagon is barred from taking ads out
on TikTok because you know to because too many people
in Congress are like the Chinese government will steal our
secrets if you even look at TikTok. So they're like us.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
I thought it was like the Chinese government be like
we're not going to fucking dirty work at like go ahead.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Buy some fucking ads, just see what happens. But like
they're bar from that investment, so they're like, uh, Nascar.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
This is like when the when people on the left
are so far left, they're like conservative again, like they
become anti vaxxers. Now the right is doing that. They're
so far right, they're like anti army.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Yeah, I will say, like I have seen I watch
a lot of reality TV, and I have seen a
lot of ads for the Army on like like the
worst reality TV shows on Peacock like, and it's like
it very like the types of ads I see on
certain shows.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I'm like, I know that they're going for a certain
like demographic in terms of like like ability, Like I
don't know, it just seems like why would you put
this on like the trashiest TV shows, you know, like
My Guilty Pleasures?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, because like one of them is like I saw
this one is like for the Navy, and it's like
this Navy Special Forces guy and like they're like there's
just like this like he comes out of the water
and he's like, yeah, join up. He's like and do
things you can't even talk about. That's been crazy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's where you go when you like work at a
(25:04):
black site or something. What the fuck are we talking here?
But it's more like it's a classified secret missions. The
other ones like are meant to like evoke like playing
Call of Duty clearly because they're so fucking action packed, right,
it's crazy.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
I feel like they're all over those games, right, Like
aren't they partial sponsors of some of those games and
like in the same way that they were for like
Top Gun and all that shit, Like they I feel
like they have partnerships or whatever, because you wouldn't be
able to like have all the quote my eight year
old weaponry that they have in you know, like isn't
(25:40):
that part of the deal.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I think so probably, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I have to assume, and I'm not going to do
any research to find out.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
What if they start like like interacting with video games
so that it's kind of like NBA or NFL video
games where you can like have specific war crime killers
like in the game right, like the guy who killed
Osama just in the right, right, right. This is so
(26:10):
dope of one of the ads that I saw. It
was like it was kind of like a hey, like
the Armies for the Woke mob too, Like it was like, look,
look at all these like black and brown people working
in the army and like how it like got us
where we are or whatever. And it was kind of
crazy because like that was the one that I saw
(26:31):
the most. But like a lot of these army ads,
like those people I assume they're actually in the army
because they're terrible at speaking, Like they're awful at like
being in front of a camera and I'm like, who
is this? That man looks scared, like who is this?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Right? Because if he said the real reason he enlisted
is because I've been my socioeconomic possibilities are so limited
by design in this country that my only recourse is
to join this kill machine. Anyway, Yeah, that.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Was the ad I might join. It might be like, right,
wait a minute, am I gonna die? This fucking rocks?
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Two thousand dollars a month on burrito taxis? So I
had to list.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
How many times do you think they have approached mister
beast to be like all right, all right, all right, right,
new pitch, New pitch. You pay someone three hundred thousand
dollars to speed run an active war zone? Like, well,
what are we talking here?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You know we'll let you plug your chocolate bars.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah, he's like a recruiter. He's like, I'm going to
lock you in a basement unless you sign this.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
The Skibbity toilet universe has like army branding. I'm sure
in its future. We'll see, we'll see how they the Pentagon,
that Pentagon.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Bring us in. We got some ideas for you, okay,
real like the mad Men of the Future.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You want to like invest in like some improv teams, Yes,
that could work, you know, and develop some shows that
may have been canned by improv.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Has more of a cult following than the military, so like, yes.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
More than the CFL or whatever.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The rocks people are tuning into here, Matt Besser, do improv.
I'm telling you who's tuning into here? Fucking you know,
Steve Reedi say something about the fucking military none.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Okay, yeah, and it's just as financially exploited as.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
All right, let's move on. The big story as of
Thursday was still Trump's Wednesday interview with three black women
journalists at the what was it the.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
College or National Association.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Of National Association of sorry.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Black of Journalists?
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Is that it?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Why wasn't that at the top of your tongue?
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Jack?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Why didn't you know what that was?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Journalists?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Are you not a fan? Are you not a fan
of that?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Jack?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Jack? State your race right now? State your race, white man. Okay, okay, okay,
I heard you guys.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Get a spike in listeners the normal Yeah, I come
back on next time. This is a right wing podcast.
Fully you guys are getting like army sponsorships.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I mean we're flirting, you know, like JD. Vance at
a couch store. But it's uh yeah, there's still the
mainstream Republicans who are like that is not the Republican party.
But Trump seems to be spiking the football.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
JD.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Vance seems to think he nailed it.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He said he crushed it.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Yeah, wait, what what if some Republicans, some mainstream Republicans
said about it, like what are they how are they
trying to like spin it?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Well, like, for example, you have people like Lisa Murkowski
who is like, what's going on? What's he talking about?
D I like kind of be like confused, not necessarily condemning.
Then they're like in this Axios report, there were a
lot of people who were going like like anonymously saying
like it was awful, which is so brave that you're
anonymously saying this. Other people are like it's I think
(30:14):
Larry Hogan, who's probably like the most center brother yea brother,
the governor of Maryland. It was like the least trumpy
Republican was like it was this was like unacceptable and
a warrant, But at the same time, like this is
the party that you let this man in. Don't act stupid.
This is what it's been a while now. So a
(30:36):
lot of people are trying to save face. I'm also
pretty irritated, like how like left leaning media, liberal media
is like just salivating over this to be like the
Republicans are gonna panic over this. It's like no, they're
fucking not. They are just they are just posturing to
try and save face because that's the most they can do.
Other people have been more saying stuff like well, that's
not how you're gonna win undecided voters, like as like
(30:59):
the spiciest criticism Jesse Waters on Fox like kind of
did crazy that guy?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
And so does his own mother?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, exactly. Better homes in garden, I think is what
his grandfather was like the publisher of and.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Really, yeah, yeah, god, would you be just starting your home? Okay, grandfather?
What the hell happened there?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
But like Jesse Water is like, I don't know if
I would have said that was like the most he said,
but then he started doing said slurs, but then he
used then they started going around like what is African America?
Then started doing that whole shit, and we're like, okay,
so just shut the fuck up. I'm tired of hearing
these people try and parse through like what is Jamaican
(31:40):
or black or not? Because this is just again He's
Trump has just kicked off the new birther movement because
a bunch of the people who are not pundits but
are just like this sort of echo chamber online or
people who write the dumb blogs and shit are all
sort of lockstep and being like but I mean it
is kind like doing it more like I don't know.
I'm just saying that's like that type of energy about it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Race analysis from white people is so funny. I'm like,
you tell us the nuances of the different creatures.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
There was one. There was one where like Trump reposted
like a photo of like Kamala as a kid like
with her Indian family, Like yeah, sorry, She's like wow,
good to see you, so proud of it. It's like
br like if like in Japan, if I was wearing
like you cut that or something, I'm not let them
being like let me fucking make sure I gotta blunt
hang like whatever the fuck I'm like, would you?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Okay, First of all, this man does not understand Indian
people because like we love dressing up people of other
races in our out. Have you seen white girls at weddings?
Speaker 7 (32:38):
We are, okay, exactly, like we fucking love Like you're
not gonna separate us with this bullshit.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
We love seeing like black women and sorry, like I
love seeing other cultures. I'm sorry. So it's like, even
if you're like, oh, she's denying one or the other,
like posting like cute pictures of her celebrating this culture,
is not gonna like deny her history.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
It just like underscores the rigidity of how they look
at race in general. It's like, what are what things
are that isn't white?
Speaker 3 (33:13):
That they were like, we would never commit miscegenation, So
we don't understand this. We don't understand race mixing. You
have to pick check ant know, if you've heard he
said this is a white genocide happening. Okay, yeah, that's
what we're interested in. That's those are the babies were satan.
They don't understand interracial if it's not white with something else.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You know, they're like, wait, they do that.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I thought they're mad?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Are they allowed?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:37):
But it's brought the fact that Trump is racist back
to the front and center. Of the mainstream media, which
is where his candidacy started and seems to be Yeah, yeah,
he threw dude.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
A perfect distraction bomb from him because, like I was
saying on the Wednesday Trending episode, this is this was
purely like people were like, Oh, he embarrassed himself. I'm like,
he he's turning up the base with this ship. Yes,
and predicted what he had, and now they're all saying
the same dumb shit. So it's like, at the same time,
it's like, what's the point of even replict yes, water
(34:15):
is wet, Trump is racist? Move like this is not
news and wasting headlines and airtime over talking about like
what a biracial person is just absurd.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
I do think like the way to respond to that
is to like post Kamala dancing with like her sorority,
Like you know what I mean, Like she's clearly like
black and has celebrated being black for like a long
time and has participated in black culture. So I feel
like the way to like memify it is to post
her being cultural in both aspects, like he's already doing
(34:47):
the Indian side, like.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
The duality of it.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Yeah, like that will like unite people behind her like
quirkiness and her let you know, like the stuff that
gets memed online sure that they're so con used about,
Like yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I think this is like sort of it. It was
more it turns up turns into somewhat of a blessing
for Trump because the conversation is like off of Kamala Harrison,
like that campaign, and it's now back on him and
what he's saying about her.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
True.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
And that's something that I think they've been contending with
the last week because they're like.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
We're not weird.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
We just like, yeah, that's fucked upholstered things. I don't
know whatever, you know what I mean, And like, I
think that is sort of a gift. I guess. Also
there are people who are like being like, wow, I
can't believe he went there, But that just seems like
the standard response for like rip all the racist shit
he said all the time, right, yeah, Like when you
(35:40):
have other things I think that are important to talk
about too, like you know, like the delegates that are
representing the uncommitted movement, you know, like against Biden's gaza policy.
Like there right now, they're asking the DNC if they
can have a speaking time during the convention like just
a five minute slot and it and like with someone
who uh like five like a health worker who had
(36:02):
just come back, Like they just want to give some
space to that person. And right now the DNC hasn't
said anything back. The people who are you know, organizing
that movement are like really trying to get in front
of Kamala Harris to be like we need to understand,
like have some kind of dialogue here, like we just
can't ignore this group of people. And many people, especially
even if they didn't vote that way, just your basic
(36:23):
polling shows this is an issue within the party that
needs to be addressed and just doing the thing again
to be like man and because it's also convenient for
Democrats be like, wow, Trump's so racist? What's wrong with
the Republicans? And now we're here, we're not talking about
like other things, like about what this you know, the
future of America can be outside of well, it's not
going to be Trump.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Do you think though that? Like because it feels like
the discourse is like never going to be about these
like specific things on like a large scale level, Like
so like with the memes of like coconut tree and
like brat and weird, Like those are all esthetics things
that take over like the mainstream discourse. So like regardless,
(37:04):
I mean, Trump does like garner like all of the
attention in his favor when he says something ridiculous, and
then it does take away from like the momentum of
the Democratic candidate or whatever. But it seems like those
details are never like there's always going to be distraction,
you know what I mean, Like those details are never
going to be hammered out in the public square.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I think, well when you look at just even how
the media like handles things, even like when those like
aid workers were killed in Gaza that were like, you know,
like that apparently were like oh my god, volunteers from
abroad or getting killed that you David, it's so quick,
you know what I mean. So yeah, to your point,
that appetite isn't there, especially from you know, the upholders
of the status quo and like sort of mass media
(37:44):
for sure. But yeah, again I think that's why a
lot of people are just so like man like can
there are other so many other things to talk about,
but this also dictates what people talk about. And so yeah,
if now for sure this is what people are talking
about and yeah, it's just a uh. I think it's
Trump doing his Trump thing, the media doing the like
(38:04):
it's sort of become reflexive at this point, like they're
calling response to his racism. Yeah, but like to the
point where other people are like this just doomed Donald Trump.
I'm like, this didn't doom him, Like.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
No, he's just saying this. He came out saying Mexican's
are rapist, Like right, yeah, that was an opener.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
An escalator saying that before we even got to the mic.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
And it's like.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
The US I don't think we talked about how dvid
was of him to come down that escalator, Like you
know what I mean, like what an entrance?
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Yeah, wow's fake with fake audience there.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
How can you be anti dragon come down an escalator
that way?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Yeah, well he doesn't notice dunk queeness.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
I read some analysis that was like the twenty sixteen
it seems like whoever the election becomes about loses. Like
in twenty sixteen it became about Hillary in a lot
of ways. Twenty twenty it was about like Trump as
a failed president, And now I think they're probably competing
to make the election about about the other one. I
(39:05):
feel like this probably plays into the Democrats' ability to, yeah,
not talk about Gaza or any anything like that, just
keep the focus on Trump and the Republicans and him
being obsessed with like what race are you can like
tie into like the weird you know, part of their messaging,
(39:29):
which is unfortunate that that is like seems to be
the strategy. But I feel like they are going to
continue to say as little as fucking possible, of course.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Because then you don't have to you don't have to
contend with harder questions like about how do we fundamentally
change like our social programs in this country?
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Just like let them get get them elected and then
they're going to do the right then they'll do it.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
But did you hear what Trump said about Biracials? Right,
I'm sorry Biracials? What did you say? They're going to be?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
And then extend Trump for another eight years to make
sure they can keep him out there just talking shit
so that they can, you know, as a foil like
an NBA contract, they're like, hey, can we get you
under contract for another like type four eight years?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
I mean, they really they really did do that, Like
some like with like more local elections. They did invest
in like they like actually paid maga people, they donated
to their their supported bolstered their problem in order to
like defeat them. And it's like some of them didn't,
like did not end up the way they hoped they would,
you know what I mean, Like some of them but
like maybe didn't have the overall effect they wanted. But
(40:39):
that's like all it is to them is like is
a way to stay in power.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, there's also like you know, I think recently Vivic
what Ramaswami was also saying, like he kind of like
was reach.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
Man my guy, but they I know that guy I
grew up with. I like not him, but like the
stereotype of him. Oh my god, so much energy.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
He's like posting stuff now He's like, we gotta stop,
Like we need to actually talk about like policy now.
He's like it's not sticking. That is so funny covering
for Joe Biden. It's not sticking that she failed at
the border. It's like we need to find like we
just we have to come up with people's like a
vision for the future.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Whenever you do do not talk about Indian people. Do
not talk about Indian people. Do not talk about Indian people. Yeah,
did you see the Like I don't know if you
guys covered this, but you do see when like Anne
Colter told him to his face that she wouldn't vote
for him because he was an Indian and then later
he had a debrief about it and it was like, well,
you were a little bitch while she said it. What happened. Yeah,
(41:42):
it's just very funny, Like how like Indian Republicans immediately turn.
It's like they're gonna come for all of us, Like
what did you expect You thought you were white bitch? No,
not even you, Nikki Haley, I don't think so. If
you had been at the center of this, you would
have been fucked.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Like Francesca Ramsey always posts like on Twitter Instagram, like
I didn't think the leopards would eat my face for
every time, like minorities, like the conservative machine came for me,
but I was good, Like.
Speaker 3 (42:11):
Laren was like pro choice and they ate her up.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Like yeah, yeah, the leopards ate my face. Great.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
Sorry, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we are back and Paul the are you keep
it up on the Olympics at all?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Yes? And okay, my favorite thing now, Like, obviously, women's
gymnastics is amazing, women's swimming's swimming is Have you been
paying attention to women's rugby? It is fucking amazing. God.
Literally there was one I forget, I don't remember her name,
but she like literally there was like a fan cam
(42:58):
of all of her stuff. She was she like got tackled,
stood up and carried someone running with the.
Speaker 4 (43:04):
Ball, like carry each other so much, Like.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Why I'm like, first of all, this is the gayest shit,
Like why is this not promoted more during June because
like all like queer like fems would go crazy for it.
And second of all, it's just like so insane and
so awesome and all of the tiktoks that Alana is
posting because like people were calling her a man, yeah,
people were calling her overweight, and I'm like, like I tweet,
(43:28):
I was like people are talking about her bmi. I'm
like that bitch is a Bronze medalist baby, like like
like what are you talking? I don't know. It's so
I love Like now I'm like obsessed with I'm like,
can I see it? Because a lot of the appeal
of these sports is it's not things that like a
lot of America watches or attends lives throughout the year,
like it's every four years that we all get like
(43:50):
really tuned in. But most people like we don't see
like rugby all the time or like go to our
local rugby games, you know. So now I'm like, I
want to go see rugby, I know, right.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
And yeah, I think you want to see I want
to watch more volleyball. I want to watch more like badminton.
I like badminton is dope.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
Badminton is very Indian. Indians love racket sports.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
Yeah, yeah, the racket the racket sports. The lesser racket sports,
or maybe not the lesser, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Yeah, they're the more intense ones.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
But the Yeah, I mean I think the other benefit
too is like you can at least like they're superlatives.
You're like, these are the best people in the world.
It's not you're not seeing like the random like metrecs supplements,
Kayak Fest twenty, you know what I mean, Like, these
are the people who are like, these are the best
people in the world you're going to see. So it's
at the highest level typically, unless like someone you know,
(44:40):
you know, super talented is like injured or whatever. But
I think that's the other benefit is like, okay, so
this is like the best at shooting a little air
gun with your hand in your pocket.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Yeah that guy. Wait, that's wait, my favorite guy.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
This is breaking. Breaking news for Thursday is that Simone
Biles just became the first woman to win two Olympic
all around titles.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
I love her. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
And then I think Katie Ladecki about to be like
the most decorated woman.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
Most decorated female Olympian of all time.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
I think that bit is crazy. She's like swimming extra
laps just for fun after the races, like she's just
like so far ahead of them. She's like, maybe I'll
take another round.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
Yeah, do you have any idea Wait?
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Wait, did you also see the Simone Biles Mikayla.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, format it wasn't Mikayla Maroney. It was
a different Mikayla who was who like had like a
real like right wing take where.
Speaker 3 (45:40):
The wife esthetic Yeah, she was like crazy.
Speaker 4 (45:44):
Now the like they can't now that they've like taken
the abuse out of gymnastics coaching, these kids aren't like
tough anymore. And Simone Biles was just like came at
her when she said that a few months ago, and
now like the first post after they won gold as
a team, she like was like, yeah, I guess we're
(46:05):
a bunch of them, like quoted the thing that she said, lazy. Yeah. Yeah, anyways, I.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Noticed that lazy Olympic champions.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
And then the other Mikayla Maroney, was like, oh my god,
I got to redeem my first name.
Speaker 4 (46:20):
I mean, Mikayla. I noticed though that a lot of
what we were talking about also shout out Chase Butdinger.
Do you remember him, Miles from the NBA. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
the dude white guy who had like crazy hops and
is now the USA Beach Volleyball.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:42):
Yeah, that was fun. But all these stories that we
keep telling seemed to be about the athletes weirdly, and
it seems like the Olympics, the whole kind of weird
capitalist enterprise is doing a late stage, this stage, whatever
stage of capitalism we're in, and just like not taking
(47:05):
care of the thing that, like the talent that drives
the entire enterprise. Because the food in the Olympic village,
you would think like that would be one thing they
would go out of their way. It's Paris, it's these
are people who like need fuel. And like I remember,
like I read that book Boys in the Boat because
(47:27):
I'm just so old, but it was like about an
Olympic rowing team that went to the Berlin Olympics, and
like the food, Like all those guys could like talk
about was how good the food, Like how well fed
they were at the Olympic village. Granted they had all
grown up in the depression, so I think just like
two steaks and French fries was like all you needed.
But the athletes are like, the food here fucking sucks
(47:51):
you guys. Like one shot put track and field athlete
was like lip saying the phrase you disappointed me on
TikTok while showing the camera something that looked like it
was like rock candy, but charred beef. It was like
rock candy, crystal beach, Yeah, crystallized beef. And it was
(48:14):
one of the first things Simone Bile said after the
women's gymnastics team won gold during a press conference. Somebody
was like, yeah, like so you must be enjoying the
French cuisine, huh, And she said, here's the thing. I
don't think we're having proper French cuisine in the village,
like you guys might be eating because you're outside the village,
so you the fucking media are getting to eat better
(48:37):
than us.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
The like high performance, the reason y'all are Okay, okay,
hold on, am I hearing that right now? They would
really all these Olympic athletes could really use a private
taxi for a burrito?
Speaker 4 (48:51):
Is what you say? Okay, all right, okay, I love
your sponsorship, not really fuck you guys. Anyways, there's a
lot of.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
You guys should do anti sponsorship where each week you
just say.
Speaker 4 (49:08):
You sponsor, we kind of have that'd be fun.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
I'm scared scared a few.
Speaker 3 (49:16):
Off this week is not brought to you by these bitches.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
These motherfuckers and burn They won't leave me alone, but
my child because the youngest member of the gymnastics team
was like, I don't think it's very good at least
what we're having in the dining hall, Like it's fucking
I don't know, it's just so amazing, Like they're they're
pouring over a billion dollars into making the river temporary,
(49:45):
like the sind temporarily clean enough to swim in, and
then like that's all going to go away, like it's
just a temporary deal to make themselves look okay, like
a fucking temporary magic trick, and they failed at it.
It was unsick, that's full. The triathletes were like the
water tastes like literal ship.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Probably did you hear what the Belgian triathlete woman she said,
She said, I felt and saw things that we shouldn't
think about.
Speaker 3 (50:17):
Honey, that's like horror movie.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Yeah, you have to get so focused like oh that
ship just.
Speaker 3 (50:27):
But we should be doing that to our Olympic athletes.
I love this terrible food. It's more relatable. Okay, if
they have if they're like training training, training, and then
they have to deal with like the worst potato on
the planet, or if they have to like swim through.
Speaker 4 (50:44):
Approach the training where it's on a farm where you
can barely survive.
Speaker 3 (50:49):
Horse on an actual horse. Let me see some variations, okay.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Like when they buy on team so it's like rickety.
Speaker 3 (50:56):
Like, yeah, well we don't get the best things.
Speaker 4 (51:01):
It's not a point like they've been put back in
time to like the days of like barely like subsistence farming.
But they're basically back to the days of like shitty
college area that feels like where they're.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
At, which, yeah, humble yourselves, Olympic athletes. I'm tired of
your bodies being a temple.
Speaker 4 (51:24):
So much more and more money being poured into this
and it's not going to the people who actually drive it.
It's going to the corporate sponsors.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
Well. The other thing that's true, a lot of people
are like accusing the like organizers of the Olympics of
like it's a there's a two tiered Olympic village basically
because there's no air conditioning because they're trying to be greener.
But if you wanted for a fee, you could pay
for air conditioning. So some obviously Olympic association like national associations,
(51:53):
are able to foot that bill. Others are not. There's
like Team Great Britain they had to bring their own
cook out because they were like they.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
Were like, what is Britain gonna cook?
Speaker 2 (52:04):
Come on, they're like these guys who lift weights. There's
not enough fucking protein.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
Protein, not enough eggs.
Speaker 3 (52:13):
And toasts, that's what we need.
Speaker 4 (52:14):
The way that this is getting pitched in the mainstream
media is that like, uh, it woke my virus. There's
not enough animals, they didn't kill enough animals. They're too
scared to be serious. Yeah, but it's gotta be It
can't be that. It's just gotta be fucking corporate bullshit.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
I love that they're disney landing. What do they have
fast laying passes for a sake?
Speaker 2 (52:35):
Like, yeah, oh you want to take a ship, Well
you can take a Genie pass because there's you.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
Can just do it in the river because nobody cares.
Speaker 4 (52:45):
Legitimately, eight people in like US tennis player Cocoa Golf,
This is a quote from that Afford's Circle. US tennis
player Cocoa Golf lamented how she and nine other women
shared two bathrooms in the Olympic village. That's how she's
like internationally like she's for multi multi millionaire, like superstar,
(53:08):
and she's like they're just making her sleep on cardboard
beds in the village. Again, Like I get the appeal
that it's like it's kind of cool that like they're
having to live through shitty conditions to win these medals,
But like when you look at the amount of like
the fucking American Express employees and like board members who
(53:29):
are being like probably ferried around in ambulances to cut
through the traffic, like.
Speaker 3 (53:35):
From one event to a form for them.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
Yeah, exactly, And it's very much the yeah, like worker
owner class dynamic where it's like the games we're seeing here.
Speaker 4 (53:47):
Yeah, you the very.
Speaker 2 (53:48):
People who's literal physical labor and physical exertion that we
count on to sell these sponsorships to. You can eat
crystal beef and an old end my ship literally in
the river. Here's the river, and you can wait in
line for seven hours to try and use the bathroom
while we eat fucking wool freet or whatever. You know,
(54:09):
our stakehold plav and a really wonderful white tablecloths.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
What the fuck you're in France? Protest? That's what those
people do take in the culture. Fucking burn some ship down,
you know what I mean, probably the streets burn some
ship down.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Can you imagine? I wonder what kind of like secret
police force they have. They're like, there's not a lot
of people are making noise in the Olympic village, right,
we don't have to put down any kind of uprisings.
Speaker 3 (54:32):
Yeah, and then the firefighters are like, we're on your side.
Speaker 2 (54:37):
Yeah, it's Krista both.
Speaker 4 (54:41):
Well, Paula, what a pleasure having you on the all
by so fast? Where can people find you and follow you?
And all that good stuff?
Speaker 3 (54:51):
Follow my Olympic journey at Paulaviganalen. It's mostly me on
the couch being like I can do that, you know
what I meant? P A L l A V I
g U n A l A n everywhere. I am
currently unemployed, so I gotta get famous and you're just
gonna have to do that for me. Okay, likes people,
(55:12):
you better follow me. I also don't want to work
for it, so just make it easy. We also run
at a monthly show called Facial Recognition Comedy at the
Comedy Store. The next one is August twentieth, and I
think the one after that is September twentieth. We get
really dope lineups. It's in the belly room. It's super fun.
It's packed out come through, and then I'm going to
(55:33):
be like perform I'm doing some like festivals and shit
this year, so keep an eye out. I'll be going
to different cities. I'm going to Chicago this month and
we'll be doing some shows there, so yeah, I'll be everywhere.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
Amazing. Is there a work a media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
Okay, on this discourse there is I have two tweets.
One tweet is Roywood Junior, who is amazing, say quote
tweeted the Trump interview and was like, we now know
Kamala's brave story. When did the rest of you turn black?
How old were you? Where were you when your blackness?
(56:11):
When the blackness finally took over your body? Share your stories?
This is a safe space. Ashually when I turned black
and then at bard Rock Cafe, which should give you
a hint about what this sweet is going to be about.
Said so. Simone Biles jumping approximately seven to eight feet
above the ground twelve feet including her height, means we
now know her strength score in D and D. A
(56:32):
creature in D and D five E has a vertical
jump of three feet plus strength mod. So since she
dumped more than seven feet, that's strength of twenty fam uniting,
uniting nerds everywhere.
Speaker 4 (56:46):
It is miles. Where can people find use their work
media you've been enjoying.
Speaker 2 (56:51):
Yeah, find me at Miles of Gray on Twitter and Instagram.
The basketball podcast the number one basketball podcast damn behind
the other number one basketball podcast, but this one is
called Miles and Jack on mad Boost. That's our basketball podcast.
You can check into a podcasts with the word Boost
is hosted by a biracial, Black and Asian man.
Speaker 3 (57:15):

us slides and the other tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (57:25):
You have two questions you can ask us, and you
could also if you like trash reality like Paula v
does and we all do to kind of help, you know,
just treat our wounds of living in this world. You
can find me on for twenty Fiance talking about ninety
day Fiance piece of media. I like this was like
a real I saw of This is so relatable as
(57:47):
I think anybody who grows up playing Uno with your family,
like when you're young, there's that moment where an adult
like just starts clean, just starts cleaning your ass out,
like you. They're like they got seven cards and like
skip to rev draw for blah blah blah. And this
is like the moment where a mom is about to
play her Uno reverse to like end the fucking game,
(58:08):
and this poor girl is screaming, like begging her not
to just fucking like moist your ass this is.
Speaker 3 (58:17):
Oh my god, she's like.
Speaker 2 (58:23):
That was super relatable as somebody who has been on
both sides of that kind of UNO smashing. So yeah,
that was a piece of media that was very relatable.
So I love playing like that, like with my nephews.
Speaker 3 (58:35):
My family like cheats at Uno like and they'll like
my like it's a huge monopoly and Una are huge
in my family. And like my cousins will like speak
in different languages to ask each other what color cards
they have, like or they'll put down like two because
they all speak like five languages, and like the American
cousins are like, we don't know English, and like they'll
put down like two or three cards at a time
(58:56):
or only draw a few or like you know what
I mean, Like oh wow, they find like great ways
to cheat, so we all lose our shit.
Speaker 2 (59:02):
Oh that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (59:03):
I had a question about your basketball podcast. Yeah, are
you guys covering the Olympics now? Yes, we are so great?
Did I was like obsessed with South Sudan yesterday. I
didn't see like all of the game, but it was
like as they were playing, they were like, yeah they
they only trained for like a few weeks a year
or like a few weeks eftery however long and they
(59:23):
have to train in other countries. I'm like, this is
so not fair. And it's like one one former player
is like bankrolling.
Speaker 2 (59:30):
The whole team too.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (59:32):
From his own pocket, just because he's like yeah.
Speaker 3 (59:35):
Yeah, anyways, amazing.
Speaker 4 (59:39):
You can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore. Obrien,
you should listen to the episode that Jacques was on. Yeah,
let's see a tweet I've been enjoying. M Nate Shyamalan tweeted,
Oh yeah, Well, if we're so weird, then how do
you explain this? I say, as I invent a brand
new form of racism that is somehow so horny.
Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
Oh my god, I did not expect that twist. Good job.
Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
You can find us on Twitter at daily Zeitgeist. We're
at d daily Zeitgeist on Instagram. We have a Facebook
fan page on a website daily zeitgeist dot com, where
we post our episode and our footnote. We link off
to the information that we talked about in today's episode,
as well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Myles,
what song do you think people might enjoy?
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
This? Guy? Deli so Seemi was the keyboard player. If
you like Fella Kuti, he was like the keyboard player
in Fellow's original backing band. He also played with Femi Kuti,
Fella Kuti's son. And now he's you know, he's got
his own career. This is a track from an album
he did. This is called The Confluence LP. And this
track is just super dope. It like remind us like
(01:00:47):
his zero seven was kind of like more afrobeat centric.
But anyway, this track is called most.
Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Will.
Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
You're gonna have to look at the footnotes for the
spelling of that, but again soon for Adupe biby track
and just a great band together. And it's interesting to
hear like someone who sound is so specific to one
genre is kind of transposed to other ones. So this
is a track we're going out on by Delea, so
see me amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
We will link off to that in the footnote. The
