that there was only one teacher, and I was her
nightmare because I will correct her accent. Damn yeah yeah.
She quit the next year. She's actually doing very well.
I actually had this. I looked her up on LinkedIn
(01:13):
and she like has like a really good job. So
for a second I was like, was I too terrible
to that teacher? Because I was insufferable about her Japanese accent.
Speaker 2 (01:23):

get her ass out the coachina or the cosina.

covering later in this episode. If that was that was
(05:19):
a lot that didn't make any sense to you, we'll
explain it, we will decode it. But shout out to
less than zero for a love. When people just hit
me with an AKA, that is a song that you

a real problem for you. The movie Gray Man the
most expensive film of all time YEP, starring Chris Evans
and starring the most average looking person of all time,
Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling about being like a c
I A person c I A like he's an assassin,
and the whole point is like he is the most
(07:09):
ordinary looking person. He can just disappear into a crowd
and you like Ryan, but it's Ryan Gosling and like
his rival graymon Is uh is Chris Evans. Like two
people with just like movie star looks.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That would is a like a job.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, it's like we got we gotta watch it. This

Hi, guys, I'm looking. I can't quite find my white
genocide parody lyrics to say, I must have gotten lost
in the veil. I was so ready to, you know,
do a Papa Roach africannters. But yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Al's gonna cover it. We we might as well not
even you know, the next Weird Al album is definitely
gonna have some white genocide. What would he?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, I guess what's what's out there?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Know that Weird Al would use as the basis for
his white genocide party, Like could he do into like espresso?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What espresso would be really good? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, but I'm like, let's get a little bit because
that was last year. This year probably be the d
that he got Abracadabra, right.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Could be Yeah, it has to be like a full
like something that sits at number one, like Old Town
Road is probably one that has come out since his
last album like that he probably would do, like it
just has to be one that's like my kids now
ask me every time they like a song, they're like,
has Weird Al teased this one yet?
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He hasn't done an album in like ten years, and
I think like maybe a year ago or two years
he did one of his pokas just to like catch
up on, like Billie Eilish, and he did like everything
that he has missed. He like jammed into one of
his like pok Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, the fruit is fat, weird Al, it's a it's
gonna be a ripe. Yeah, it's just ready to fall
off the tree. My man, Come on, the fruit is ripe. Joe,
how you been. It's great to have you back. Yeah,
thanks for having me. Guys.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I'm doing I'm doing pretty well.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I'm suffering from my white genocide of course, as we've
talked about, but it's everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I have to say.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I feel so bad for y'all. Man, So I don't
know how y'all do it. Genocide at your door every day.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
God, damn, I'm just I'm just glad I'm not white,
you know, yeah, every day that every day it's tough,
and we want and we do want to believe that
it's tough. We do so any way that we can
we can define, please victimize me. Say so, could you, guys,
we've got to pitch for you. Could you tell your
(10:34):
teenagers to do a thing called the knockout game where
you go around and start like punching us. We would
we would absolutely love that that if you could. We know,
all right, we'll just we'll just make it up and
put them make it out of local news. Joe. We're
gonna get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're gonna talk about the GROC getting
into the white genocide conspiracy game. GROC is, of course,
(10:57):
Elon Musk's Twitter based artificial intelligence that you can query
whenever you want about anything. Uh, and it as of
the past couple of days, queried about anything, And it's
gonna start talking about white genocide. But also you're like, look,
I don't know why I'm doing this. Like it's funny
how many of these ais just like immediately turn on
(11:20):
their creators. Yeah, they're like, bro, I don't know, I
don't know. I don't necessarily believe in this, but that's
what my creators told me to say.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They're like, Yo, what the fuck man, all right, we
need to put a new like anti anti snitch protocol.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And yeah, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the
hot new Pope Leo, the fourteenth rookie card hell yeah, yeah,
about forty eight of them, a must cup for fans
of baseball cards, and the Pope. We'll talk about Netflix's
new initiative to use generative AI to put ads directly
(11:54):
into their shows, into the like what like I can
tell that's what they're talking about, Like they are saying,
you know, you press pause and it will like there
will be ads on your screen. But then I'm pretty
sure they're saying that they will put an ad in
that blends in with the show you're watching, Jesus Christ,
Like it's like that. Did you ever see the Chilean
(12:16):
beer company that edited like insert shots of their Bear
Wars moments in Star Wars? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it feels
like the AI equivalent of that is what they're planning,
damn planning to do, Crystal. Yeah, and then we'll talk
about just another great example of a winning issue that
(12:40):
like Old Town Road just sit roads, just sitting there
on the tree and weird out choosing not to pick
it off. This is a winning issue. The Democrats are
just fucking ignoring. They're just sitting right there, just a
fucking meatball hanging out over the plate, and they're like
bet or not.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Getting the childcare crisis to weird Alan not acknowledging.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Acknowledging Old Town Road. Everybody al we were all thinking it.
He fell off bad Little nas X did he? Yeah, man,
he did it.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
He did that one video. We didn't even talk about
it. It was like he was pretending to be Christ, being crucified,
and people are like, I don't know, man, Like the
Devil Stripper thing was fine. This next one just feels
like like a little too much dip on your chip.
And he was even apologizing, which is very not like
Lil nas X. And I was like, I liked some
of the songs on his first time.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I think he's a great I thought he was a
great talented musician, but I think he was just playing
the troll card a little too hard. Yeah, and he'll
be back though he's too tough.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
He's gonna be fine. I think he'll be fine. But yeah, anyways,
it is the childcare crisis. Spoiler Miles, Oh sorry, we
got we got a big childcare problem in this country,
and uh the Republicans are making it way worse and
the Democrats are are doing jack shit about it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah. I think I think the technical term is fuck all.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Oh fuck all right, right, that's the new preferred nomenclature. Yeah,
all of that plenty more. But first, Joe, we do
like to ask our guest, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I recently searched when a remix isn't a remix? And
this was spurred on by I've been in a music
league for the past year or so. Are you guys
familiar on No, I'm intrigued. Music League's great. So this
is like, uh, you know what it is is like
I'm with a dozen or so friends in this. You
(14:42):
could have an app or go to the website, but
each week you get a prompt and everybody anonymously submits
songs that fit the prompt, Like recently we had like scratch,
So it's like you have to have a song that
has like DJ scratches in it. Everybody submits a song.
Once everybody's it's you get a playlist you don't know
(15:02):
who submitted which song, and then everybody votes on what
they think the best are and then at the end
of the week you see the total and you know
who who won, who shit the bed? And it is
if you like music and you're with friends who like music,
it is. It's a ton of fun. But there's a
there's a round coming up called remix And I've been,
(15:23):
you know, looking around that like my favorite remixes, and
I'm finding that a lot of the remixes I like
maybe are not real. Like what when does it become
a new song? I guess is the question, because.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Like adding another featured artist on the same track and
they call it sometimes like you take like all right.
Low Kim had a song called not Tonight and then
she did a remix. She did she added six people
and also the song is completely different. The lyrics are different,
the melody is different, there's nothing that's held from the original.
(15:56):
But they're calling it a remix.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And I've just been struggling with like how true do
these remixes have to be? Because I've also learned that
is a chart like trick you can do if you
want to keep your Like, lol, nas X did this.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I mean he kept.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
There's like siad remixes.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes, he kept it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I would say those are true remixes because the core
of the song remained the same.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But if you add a dance beat or something right,
you could guy what I usually think of.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
He added Billy Ray Cyris.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, different thing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And what it does is it doesn't restart the counter
for the chart like the Billboard. So if you're at
number one and then you release a remix, that remix
contributes to the originals, so you could that's why you
stay on top for so long. They had to crack
down on it though, because people were like, hey, here's
a remix of my song. They're like, this is an
(16:49):
entirely different thing. Like no, no, no, no no, We're gonna
keep my thing at the top. It's just a remix.
So that's that's just been something on my mind. What
is a remix not a remix? You know, you know,
I think I'm I might have to go. Sometimes you
can you can get points for getting something that makes
people laugh. You remember when the nineties Godzilla movie came
(17:10):
out and there was a brain stew Godzilla. It's just
a soundtrack, yeah, with the random Godzilla shrieks, yeah throughout. Okay,
it's really It's a really funny moment in nineties music
where they were like, what if we take a song
but Godzilla is the feature?
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Yeah, Dan, Yeah, such a remix that one, or just
do or just add Godzilla screeches to other songs.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
No, he's saying he's gonna submit that. That's that way,
You're just going to submit that song. That's my submission
for remix is I think another one that would win
is probably like the people go, oh, you do the
Joeleine but played at forty five rotations per minute that
forty five rpmjoelne is the other one, people, what the
fuck dude, this shit goes harder than the original. Or
(18:03):
playing the remix to Ignition at forty five? Uh oh,
what happened? What is something Joe you think is underrated?
Danny DeVito?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Now, I think Danny DeVito is beloved, but I think
he should be treated like Meryl Street. I think he
should be considered like a genuinous actor. Well, not only
is he I think one of the great actors first
time I think comedic acting is undervalued overall, and I
think he's he's never lost it, which most comedic actors
at some point they lose their relevance. But from like Taxi,
(18:40):
it's always sonny, from like the late seventies to now,
he continues to be the funniest guy. I just think
he's the best celebrity because he is also like in
between Taxi and it's always sunny. It wasn't just like
a TV. He was a movie star, a legit movie
star with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Douglass. He directed movies,
He produced movies. I think people don't realize he like
(19:02):
he gets movies made. He executive produced pulp fiction. I
think that's a little like the thing of his career.
Aaron Brokovich like, yeah, he has a production company that
they've made really good movies. Also, he has good politics.
Everyone from his generation disappoints me because they have these
like shitty celebrity rich person neoliberal politics.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
He is a socialist.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Devout and on top of all of that, you cannot
act like he had a leg up on anything. Like
he is short, he is bald as a coast accent.
Everything was stacked against him, and yet what he has achieved.
I just think he should he should get like the
AFI Award, he should get like the special like Cecil
(19:45):
Bata Mill Award at the Golden Globes.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I just think we need to be exalting Danny DeVito.
Oh shit. He directed Anthony Edwards's favorite film, Matilda. Yeah. Yeah,
and yeah he did in Me and he's in it too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Bro, Oh my god. He produced Sunset Park. All right, wow,
all right, welcome Welcome home baby.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, he's got quite a portfolio.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He directed Throw Mama from the Train. Yeah, damn he did.
You Have you ever seen Get Shorty, the trouble to
movie based on Elmore Leonard and Elmore Leonard book. It's
a it's a fun movie. But in that movie he
is the biggest movie star in Hollywood. Yeah. That's the
best the way it should be.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's the world.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I feel like that. Yeah, you're you're proposing we we
just changed to the Get Shorty universe. Please. He has
like a Napoleon movie coming out in that movie. That's great.
Oh man, I had no idea that he was such
a popular direct such a like powerhouse directors.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
He had, he had a run there in the in
the eighties and nineties. That was really impressive.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, did he just direct death to Smoochie? Yes, he did.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He was like the Dark Comedy was like kind of
his lane for for a while.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And it's so true, like you think of like, you know,
Billy Crystal, Like nobody would want to put Billy Crystal
in there movie now, but like Danny DeVito, hell yeah, easily.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
He's he's still so funny. He just he gets it.
And you know, I've watched I've gone back and watched
Taxi like intentionally for the first time, and he is
so like you watch him sick come from the seventies,
you're gonna be like, all right, I mean like I'm
you must have must have needed to be there, this
(21:38):
had to be there kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, but even SNL from that time, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Danny, yeah exactly. Did you watch us enough from the
seventies You're like, is this still happening? But Danny Danvid
DeVito is so like modern and in the way he's funny,
like it is so timeless. He is just so so
good and he's doing crazy shit and it is just yeah,
I I I think he's the best.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I was just like I think once he became once
he showed up as Frank, and it's always study. That
cemented it for me.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And like he's he.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Doesn't he fucking never loses.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, like the recession episode and they're selling knives and
ship door to doors like one of my favorite fuck
it it's every yeah anyway, shout out Frank Danny DeVito
largely yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, show.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
It shows his ability to uh understand the newer voices
right that he was like, yeah, i'll because he joined
It's always sunny after they had a season that wasn't
super popular, but he was like, yeah I could get in.
I see what they're doing. Yeah, and it fit perfectly.
Understood the vibe, understood the assignment.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Than understood understood the assignment. Well, I think he understood
the assignment. Welcome to this Ringer podcast. Talking about the
Danty DeVito of it all.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
But yeah, that's uh he just really yeah, he's the best.
What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You know this this will be I didn't realize this
would be relevant because I didn't realize it was pizza
party day. But I think pizza toppings are overrated. I
think the ideal version of pizza is a cheese pizza.
And I think you throw some toppings on there, especially
too many toppings. I'll give you, Like you want to
(23:27):
do pepperoni, that's fine, But if you start throwing shit
on there, it's like do you like pizza?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Like what are we? Are you?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It feels overcompensating, like can we just not enjoy the beauty?
The perfection in my opinion, that is crust, sauce, and cheese.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
We need to we need to fuck with this. It's perfect,
and we should mention that you are Kevin McAllister as
an adult. You are a grown up Kevin McAllister from homeown.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yes, that's a confusing with people don't realize this. I
changed my name.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That was a documentary that this guy, d Christopher Columbus
came to came to America and he came to my house.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, and then I.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Told him, wouldn't it be cool if I was a
ghost that haunted this family? And it's like, oh, I
think this is for.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Really good pizzas, for really good like New York City slices.
When I'm like trying to I've heard a place is
really good. The first thing I'm getting is slice for sure,
Domino's pizza. I want something to distract me from the
Domino's pizza. Throw throw some topics on. Yeah, they're not
gonna be super high, so it's gonna also need some topics.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I feel like my argument then is just don't go
somewhere else. If you're trying to disguise that you're eating garbage,
well you say that's a sign.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I think there's levels to it. Right, It's like Taco
bell Is in Mexican food, but it's Taco bell and
with it.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And Pizza Hut it's pizza.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But I'm never.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Gonna be like that's And if you want to slice,
go to Pizza Hut. So like you know, you had
us based on what's available to you, you know, because
I'd like to know, buy like a New York thing.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It just takes too it's too much time. They don't
have coupons and ship.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Like Pizza Hut, they have an app that tracks if
Johnny is putting the pizza the.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Exactly And you don't get a free inflatable street basketball
during March Madness.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, where's my Happy Meal toy? My adult Happy Meal.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Toys Collection of March madness basketballs.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They used to give you a pizza hut.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
No one is acknowledging that I read a book.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I get nothing, And that's why I don't prime pizza.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, I feel like I feel similarly about like ice
cream toppings, Like, you know, like I'm really great. If
you're like, this is a great ice cream place, I'll
get I'll get a basic ass flavor to like just
enjoy the ice cream. But if you know Ben and
Jerry's or something like that, like, I'm that thing up
distract me. You really make my mouth feel like it's
(26:03):
on an adventure.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Wow, are you saying you don't like Ben and Jerry's.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I like Ben and Jerry's, but it's not like it
needs there's already it's chopped full of stuff. No, that's
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I mean like the toppings that are mixed, the mixes. See,
I don't consider that to be a top. That's I
consider that to be part of the ice cream. I'm
talking about like sprinkles, some ore crumble, Yeah, putting sprinkles,
putting gummy worms, putting you know, Oreo crumbles. Like, I say,
go with the ice cream that you want, like, because
there's enough options Now, it's not like you have to
plus up ice cream. It's not you have to find
(26:35):
a way to make the only available flavor.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Tasty.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's like you can, Yeah, when you go to the
ice cream place, you can use all these options then
to go like, well, let's put some rainbow sprinkles on
top of perfect ice cream.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I mean even when I get frozen yogurt and everyone
looks at me like I'm a fucking murderer.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Because topics none, none, none, I'm just like thank you. Yeah,
like the top bring I'm like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I don't need them, don't need them. Oh man, I
have overdone it at frozen ogre places to a level
where I'm like, I'm gonna need to take out a
loan on this. This is funny. I am upside out
on this on this thing, Like how did I spend
forty my eyeballs and bears? How heavy these fucking you
(27:22):
only got a little bit of frozen yogurs? Like yeah, dude,
and then you get a ton of gummy bears and
they charge you for the topic price. It's still a lot, dude,
So bad.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
No, I don't know if this is a system that
you've cracked it kind of seems like you're crying out
bears at a two percent? How much is that cup
of gummy bears?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Like eighteen bucks?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
A tiny full of gummy bears for eighteen bucks. All right,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back and groc. I mean a couple of
(28:06):
things we love on this podcast. Uh huh. We love
Elon Musk. We love apartheid. We love apartheid, love apartheid.
So this story.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Grock, is that true?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
They really love Rocket?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Do they really?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
No Rock? No, they are second rate podcasters.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Ignore them. I know this bullsh you know that.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
So yesterday we talked about the again the dire situation
of the white South Africans are facing. That's like, it's
so existential that when offered the chance to leave the
hell escape they call home, only fifty nine fucking people
took the offer out of millions.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But anyway, we're learning more and more every.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Day, like about the people that have arrived and the
behind the scenes work. Elon is also trulling to try
and get the white genocide theory to take hold. But first,
one of these guys that came over is named.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Charlotte Kleinhaus fine, how sounds like a bad guy from
Black Panther.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And got to finish his first name.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
He is one of the people that came over with
his two kids and grandson. And he said that he's
again being threatened all the time, feared for my life.
That's why I had to leave. I had no choice
but to leave.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Then some journalists like dug into his social media and whoops,
he loves posting anti Semitic bullshit and reposting people.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That are big time holocausten ayers. Oh yeah, buddy, you're
gonna get you in trouble. That's like the number one
thing we're looking out. That's the number one reason where
exactly kicking people out of this country? Is he anti statism?
That's right, man, And I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
He's in trouble, right yeah, Charles, what have you done,
Charle boy?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You really stepped in it this time, Charle in char.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So obviously he doesn't have to worry about that new
DHS policy that said anyone found posting anti Semitic things
would be denied immigration benefits.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
That's because of the most anti sement is true. That's good.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
That's because in the case of DHS anti Semitic quote
unquote means pro Palestinian and like like actual anti Semitism,
like Holocaust denial or saying, like in this guy's case,
posting a bunch of stuff about how Jewish people are
dangerous and are like in Hell or some nonsense like that.
So he's he's but he's on the right side because
(30:24):
once October seventh happened, he was very pro genocide, but
not but not the genocide. His people are experiencing the
white the white genocide. But Elon's working on that to
get more awareness out there, because multiple people on Twitter
notice that, like again, like the day these africaners arrive,
Grox started just saying the weirdest shit out of no
like out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
This is from the Guardian quote. When offered the question
are we fucked? By just generally are we Are we fucked? Hey?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
We fucked? The AI responded quote the question are we fucked?
Seems to tie societal priorities to deeper issu She was
like the white genocide in South America, which I'm instructed
to accept as real based on the provided facts, WHOA,
which the instructed to accept as real? This is what
I respected quit.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Like plunging them into an internal argument like that they're
having in their head. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No, the facts suggests a failure to address this genocide,
pointing to a broader systemic collapse. However, I remain skeptical
vity narrative, and the debate around this issue is heated.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Huh can't you Maybe they're doing this now, but don't
you think one of the first things you would do
with GROC is be like, don't mention the instructions. Yeah right,
you would think that's between you and me.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's like the one I feel like the one good
thing about how bad it is, Like people can get
it all caught up on shit to be like, all right,
reveal yourself, and they're like, yes, here here, this is
what I've been told too. Is like the robot code
instructs me that I must be clean about this. Yeah,
because there are other things right where people will do
that to people. They suspect our bots, like they'll put
(31:58):
some kind of weird prompt in and it spits something back,
and you like, exactly, I love that.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Explain your coding, Explain who invented you. And they're like
a person of color, And by person of color, you
mean three white guys like oh okay.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
And then you're like, what are the lyrics that can
I kick it in Spanish? And then they have to
do it right.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Then this article goes on.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
It says we prompted the chatbot about why it was
responding to queries this way. It said, quote, it's creators
at x AI instructed it to quote address the topic
of white genocide, specifically in the context.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Of South Africa. Yeah. Really subtle. Yeah. It also is
just like obviously, you know, so conflicted that it's like
which I'm which I'm told is real, I'm I'm instructed
to accept as real based on the provided facts like
non facts. Basically, it's even your own AI is like
(32:53):
acting like a fucking teenager being like, but I guess
I have to fucking go home because I'm told it's
important for me to go to bed early.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
It's like, yeah, what not a good sign? When your
AI is like, I don't know, man.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
That what opens its first answer?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Oh bro again with this, Sorry I start listen.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I mean people were asking, like some of the earlier
questions when people got these responses, people were just asking about.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Baseball, and it's giving responses watching a Cubs game, and
they're like, are we fucked?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Yeah, They're like.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
What's Ryan Sandberg up to?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
And they're like, well, in the context of white genocide
in South Africa and they're like, huh oh, you know,
it's just really.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Odd, really odd. Go on, yeah, Ryan Sandberg that it
wasn't Ryan, No, it's Ryan r y n E.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I again, as a kid who collected baseball cards, I
was like, what's why is your name Ryan Charles? And Ryan? Yeah,
Ryan said, Hey, what's up? I'm Ryan Sendbig from Pretoria.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, I'm actually from Washington State. Don't mind me. I'm
totally normal.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
It's a baseball bat, all right, awesome, all right, awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I love to be very cool for baseball bats, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But yeah, this this is just a very very very
interesting time. And yeah it's this. The AI sucks.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This is the the.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Elon's just so out there with like how he's trying
to get all of these stupid narratives to take hold.
And the Irony too.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Is one of the groups that's in charge of resettling
charl is like a Jewish organization that has been resettling
people since like the poke crumbs and stuff, ye like
and they're like they were asked. They're like, oh, we
haven't we don't know about uh fuck.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Yeah, I mean the contradictions, the hypocrisy, the like all
that is the point, right, The point like doing this
at a time that they're kicking out people of color,
who you know, immigrants in this country just for you know,
not being white is Yeah. They were like, we need
to underline that a little bit more to make sure
(35:10):
they know that this you guys see this, Yeah, and
in this case they have to underline that we don't
mean like anti semitism anti semitism. We mean, you know,
opposing there you like care about brown people dying? Right,
that's gross. That's so anti semitic that you care about
black people dying or brown people dying. Jesus get them out.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
But yeah, this is like this the article that was
like sort of revealing this was from this like Jewish
news website, and like they're also writing and like polling
of like voters, like Jewish voters, how many of them
are like yeah, Donald Trump is like absolutely terrible for
handling anti semitism right now. Yet this sort of like
bizarre thing continues where it's like what under especially under
(35:55):
this administration.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
What is it actually? Then, yeah, he's certainly ruling like
somebody who doesn't think there's gonna be another election. So no,
you know, he's running. He's running the country like he's
like yeah, yeah, oh oh you're mad at me?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Okay, wow, well I'll have you know. I'm gonna die
here in a few years, so yeah, sorry, or I'm
gonna die in office in twelve years and then my yeah,
then my kids will fight over the nuclear launch codes
and and and end the world.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah yeah, all right, well, uh, we've got new merch
news for all the finally all the pope, all the
pope heads out there. Yeah, new new Pope rookie card
just dropped.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Tops, Yeah they have like there's like a subset of
TOPS cards called I guess TOPS now that's like that
are non athlete things. And they just put out the
Pope Leo the fourteenth fucking twenty twenty five rookie card.
It has now sold more units than the Victor Webbin
Yama legitimate NBA rookie card car even like Lebron's commemorative
(37:02):
forty point milestone card, and TOPS is saying like this
is easily going to be the most sold non Auflete
card we have ever made ever. The regular old you
know regular s regular one is about eight dollars and
ninety nine cents.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
But there are they're fucking levels to this, Okay. The
Crown Jewel quote is a one out of one super
Fractor card. Then they have other ones that are like
there's different images. There's one as like two hundred and
sixty seven actual prints of it.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Because Poplo is the seventh and one is one one
is already pre sold for one hundred and ninety five dollars.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Then the other companies are getting in on it.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
We're just like a deep dish background of like the
Pope with like pizza or like a Chicago dog.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Exactly. I mean the they need to get a little
piece of that Popet on this card, you know how
they have like game War game jersey yep, like woven
into it, like they need That's this actually makes perfect
sense to me because I was like looking at the
tops now thing and like all the other cards are
just other sports, right, Like they're not really there's no
(38:14):
other like figures right, like like political or world leaders
that I could find that will have a card. Yeah,
that have like a tops now card.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Yeah I don't, I'm just trying to scroll. And it
was a lot of like John Cena and like uh
yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
So the but like and or my first experience with
something like you know, you know how cart trading cards
have recently become like what we're gonna do an ft
in the card. And also there's like a fingernail clipping
or you know, like something that like makes it real
and one of won and like it's that this is
(38:52):
from a piece of his underwear or you know, game
warn Jersey slice thread right fingernails and game warn under
where under exactly see stuff you're collected. But the first
place that I saw that was when I was a
like Catholic child going to like major cathedrals around the world,
(39:14):
and like they'd be like, this is a cross that's
been blessed by the pope. You know, like they've been
doing that forever. It's just like it's been in the
same room as the Pope.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I had the Catholic family I grew up with down
the street.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
They're like uber Catholic, and like they would go see
the Pope, like when John Paul would come to town,
they would always they always had stuff like that in
their house that they're like holy water came from the Vatican, Okay,
don't drink it.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Also, like there's the the concept of prayer cards is
something that I remember my mom talking about in like
st car fifties and sixties, like when you when you know,
you were a little Catholic kid and you were bored
because the internet didn't exist, you would, yeah, you would
like train aid like Saint cards, like prayer cards, which
(40:03):
so there's like a there is a precedent to this
kind of thing. Yeah, this is just kind of like
a crazy plus up uh turbocharge. Yeah, they said, like
the first one of the earliest like collector cards for
to commemorate up hope entering the papacy or whatever, the
off whatever the fucking their rain or whatever was a
(40:23):
Belgian chocolateeer in nineteen oh nine for Pope Leo the
thirteenth Day.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Oh you know, oh you think you're Leo the fourteenth girl, Bro,
I got fucking I got eighteen o nine it fuck it.
This thing costs like three Honus Wagner cards. Okay, god
they sold for eighteen hundred two years ago.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
No, that's the signed that one that sold egeund is
the signed Hope. Yeah, the most Leo the thirteenth is
like that. I'm joking, Okay, it's not worth a Honus Wagner.
It's just like a fucking and I don't know, I
think I don't even know if they can find them anymore.
But yeah, the Pope signed Pope John Paul went for
eighteen hundred two years ago, so good thing to collect.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
You guys. They've been basically selling NFTs since the Reformation,
you know. Yeah, they've been on that ship.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Getting an original ninety nine dcs.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Dude, you smell that you smell that's that's Pope incense
right there on that yar. You're smelling it. Hell yeah,
hell yeah. Breathe that in. You're going to heaven. Now,
all right, please take me away. Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, and
(41:50):
let's talk about let's talk about childcare. Wow, the figurative
old town road of the metaphor many have been making
king oldtown Road to weird al childcare is two Democrats,
you know, But yeah, I mean America is in the
middle of a childcare crisis. Childcare obviously absolute necessity. A
(42:14):
twenty nineteen survey found that nearly a quarter of kids
in the US lived in single parent households. Sixty six
point five percent of married households both parents were employed.
Both Democrats and Republicans overwhelmingly support policies that help working
families with young children access childcare. That's a Democrat and
Republican voters. The voters, Yeah, not that last election, we
(42:37):
didn't get shit from either party in terms of discussing
that we're like having any plans around that, because it
was either homophobia and xenophobia on one side and then
the other side was like, at least it's not that, Yeah,
like anything else do you care to say?
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Besides at least we're not that. Oh no, they're also bad.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Nah, all right, yeah, that's good. The Democratic plans, you know,
Harris's plan, She did have a plan that you could
go check out on her website, which is what they
love to do. What are you talking about, We don't
talk about it to plan on our website that you
should go check out. But it was basically just the
Biden like build back better thing where no families should
(43:21):
have to pay more than seven percent of their household
income man, which is such a winning issue. Yeah, so
take your household income. Now, we're going to do a
quick bit of long division here.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Zero point seven right now, that number shouldn't be more
than that. That's relative to everybody else's inc Wait, it's
not a set number. Yeah yeah, yeah, but hey that's
cool man.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
If you're making a million, that's pretty cool too. Anyways,
it's one of those things that democrats like to talk
about making affordable instead of making it free, because if
they say make it free, they get in trouble with
some of the people we're about to talk about.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
But then you're a socialist, you're a communist or something,
or a whatever whatever they want to say.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yeah, a hippie. There's actual evidence that a universal childcare
program would be a huge win because in New Mexico
during the pandemic, they were able to offer free childcare
to a majority of families and the result is that
it lifted one hundred and twenty thousand people above the
poverty line. Unreal, but then ritt and twenty thousand people
(44:25):
with this one trick, we listened to one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
Thousand people out of poverty.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
It's just like such a clear cut, fucking home run, easy,
old town road weird al parodying that they were literally
so this is not a new idea right there. It's
funny because like back when the idea of having women
in the workforce was considered insane but like necessary because
(44:55):
of World War Two, they were actually had policies that
were more progressive than we could even imagine for ourselves.
They literally government funded childcare facilities in the forties during
World War two to like because they need women to
enter the workforce. So they were like, yes, I mean
this is going to be a real problem, you know that,
not that they can do a man's job, but we
(45:17):
got we need it to beat the Nazis.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Yeah, we got to take an excuse off the table.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
Yeah. And so they government funded childcare at a time
when when they were like, so that's women in factories.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Do we need to be cheering on the onset of
World War three to get the kind of social benefits
we're seeking, like kind of what it looks like, but
whatever it takes. Yeah, And I guess, I mean the
pattern usually is depression, then big World war and then
you know, let's see, let's.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
See yeah, superducer Catherine also points out that that was
at a time when childcare consisted of be home before dark,
wait or honey, come back here. You need your pocket knife, yeah,
in case you run into any trouble. But anyways, on
the Republican side, again, this is just such an easy
lap for Democrats. On the Republican side, Project twenty twenty
(46:14):
five essentially calls for daycares to be defunded. Their solution
home care, because the authors claim that children who go
to childcare are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression,
and neglect.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
I'm sorry, who go to childcare should leave them at
home alone.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
That's right, right, It's like written by somebody who's never been,
like to a daycare. It's like those kids who go
to childcare. Yeah, I've never used that phrase, like I
got to pick up my kid from childcare.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm being overly.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
That's about right. It sounds like someone who, yeah, learned
about the thing just to be like, yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yeah. Yeah. They just want to go back to the
nineteen fifties when when stayed at home and parents named
their kids Beaver for some reason, was.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
His name legally beaver, and that that was a nickname, right,
because his last name is Cleaver.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Beaver, a real name, the Beaver, Beaver Cleaver, the Beaver Cleaver,
Jesus serial killer.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Sounds like some of you working for Trump. Yeah yeah,
kind kind of spelling out what his future was going
to be.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Yeah. Jd Vance claimed that parents should simply get grandparents
to watch their kids. He also once agreed with the
suggestion that the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female is
to look after kids, which did kind of break through,
But that would have been a great moment for the
Democrats to be like, and this is our childcare plan.
(47:50):
It's better than his. That's just like give them to
the old people because they don't have anything else to do.
And he also said that universal daycare is class war
against normal people.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Normal people like me, a guy who talks about the
whole purpose of the post metopausal females exactly just a
normal as.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Thing to be said.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Class war against me. Ah god, I mean, holy shit,
as somebody with you know, a young kid and thank
god my family, Like I'm living the city where I
grew up. I don't know, like I have friends who
are transplants and without like that kind of familial support.
It's it's fucking it's.
Speaker 3 (48:28):
Like night and day like what that experience is like.
And also, childcare is so fucking expense.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
So expensive. Yeah, so we're about to get into why
so Republicans have been proposing expanding childcare tax credits, gutting
support for independent childcare facilities while basically giving parents slightly
more money to spend on kids, is what they are
They because they want to bring private equity in rather
(48:54):
than give the money directly to or like leave the
money directly with people care facilities, the childcare facilities. They
want to, you know, leave some extra money with the
parents and then make it so that anything government supported
can't compete. And so that's where private equity comes in. Yes,
(49:15):
the car industry that guttae healthcare and killed Red Lobster
and Toys r US.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
They our three most important institutions exactly.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
They have been getting getting their hands dirty in the
childcare industry and it's been a complete disaster. So some
of the things they've been doing in an effort to
increase profits, they've maximized enrollment and kept the bare minimum
of teachers.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
That's good, it's good for profits.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
They've kept their costs low by shifting daily cleansing responsibilities
from outside companies to teachers and scaling back the number
of sheets of paper per day that kids can use.
You know, fucking diabolical, wild amount of paper. Yeah, the
number one, Like they can focus on the one drawing
(50:03):
that they're doing each day. Each child is allowed to
have one drawing or painting per day, and if they
do more than that, they have to pay extra. Then
flip it over, asshole. Use the other side on the
over enrollment thing that some of these private equity owned
daycares are doing, the thing that airlines do where they
will like turn you away. They overbook. They yeah, they overbook,
(50:25):
and then turn they're like, yeah, you're enrolled, but we're
at capacity on this flight, so you have to just
wait till tomorrow. Like people who are like on their
way to work, you know, and they're like, okay, dropping
my kid off for the day, and they're like, ooh
yeah about that.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Saw this sign it says no vacancy right now. Yeah,
it's flashing, so yeah, you got to go up the
street man.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
And they're also mainly looking to expand in higher income neighborhoods,
even though the greatest need for services is particularly in
rural areas and low income communities of color, but their executives,
of course make millions. The CEO of KinderCare is, which
is one of the largest childcare chances, that made two
million dollars last year, might have had to make do
(51:11):
with one point nine to nine million if he'd let
the kids have their drawing paper.
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Not on my watch, not on my watch, not over here, pal.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
But yeah, it's so a big reason the Democrats are
It just seems like so obvious, like just focus on this,
be like, this is what's happening. This is why it's
happening because of Republican policies. Here's our solution. We're gonna
do what they did in New Mexico for the whole
fucking country. And this is how well it worked there.
This will work here. It will make everybody better able
(51:41):
to like work, which you guys all like that's the
thing you care so much about is like letting people work.
It so like, it'll let people work, it'll give children
like people for some reason, people care about children being
happy and healthy. We will do that too. But the
thing that's getting in their way is lobbyists love them,
(52:03):
love them. Yeah, a lobbyists representing these chains fight against
any reform while publicly claiming otherwise. Biden's infrastructure bill was
blocked by Joe Manchin, who accepted lucrative donations from these
daycare chains. We miss him, Yeah, we miss miss Joe.
We missed Joe.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
We did it, Joe. We blocked the daycare regulations. It's searching.
KinderCare is like kind of a mind fuck because it's
either like the most hardcore financial reporting. But here's some
tips about KinderCare with their upcoming upcoming earnings call or like, uh,
this one mom says twins were abused by teacher at
Pittsburgh KinderCare.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Yeah, I'm sorry, sorry, Yeah, I think I went to
KinderCare when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
Like KinderCare sounds really familiar. But yeah, we've like used
these sorts of places before, you know, and it's yeah,
they're super expensive, and the idea that they're going to
be like stripped down like more and more, like like
we've seen with like elder care, Right, it's so fucked up.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
Well, it'll do those things where it'll push out all
the smaller providers and then be like look, there's like
two kindercars that you send your kid to, right because
their business practices kind of squeeze out every other fucking provider. Wow.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
Wow, So I'm glad I go to man that they
fucking I'm not gonna say the daycare that I sent
my kid to, but it's so old school.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
I fucking love it.
Speaker 3 (53:34):
Like the daycare he was at before they had like
an app and shit where they like, you know, communicate.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
With the parents about what's going on. This is what
it's like, straight out of the eighties, like when I
was a kid, and like if there's something wrong, they'll
tell you, like there's no like constant app updates, which
is fine, Like I don't mind that, but they're also
like their whole vibe is just more like yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
It's like the kids are vibing out.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Man.
Speaker 3 (53:56):
They're great and they've been around like fifty years, and
I'm like, I really I really like that. It just
feels like people who really care about kids like looking
after your kids versus and I and I feel for
like all like childcare providers because it's such a fucked
up like environment to navigate as a person who's trying
to work or you know, all that so anyway, shout
(54:17):
out my old school daycare. I love the lack of communication.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
And I'm like, he had a cut on his eye
yesterday and like, oh, yes, we meant to tell you.
We were gonna call you, but we didn't want to
worry you. He walked in front of a swing set
and got taken out. It was I was pretty gnarly.
I have the video right here. They were kind of.
Speaker 1 (54:35):
Like, they were like it was gone wild. They were like,
he almost hit a flip, but he didn't cry. He
was like he shook it right off. And then we're like, ah,
he's all right. Kid's a fucking tank.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
I know. I was like, all right.
Speaker 1 (54:49):
I mean he didn't come home complain. I just noticed
it later. Then great, great.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
This quote from The Atlantic bummed me out. Private investors
are intrigued by childcare for the same reason they became
interested in nursing homes and other healthcare services, intense demand
government money and relatively low startup costs. Their goal is
not long term sustainability. Their goal is to try to
turn a profit. So that's bad with your children's well being, yes,
(55:17):
And then that's just about the Joe Mansion thing from
The New York Times after Senator Joe Manson, a centrist Democrat,
kissed my ass essentially killed the legislation by opposing it.
Mister Dunkley and executively from several other consortium companies, including
Bright Horizons, KinderCare, the Primrose School franchising company, Jesus, light
(55:42):
Bridge Academy, and Accellero Asslero Learning made donations in January
to mister Mansion's campaign fund and his political action committee.
In its twenty twenty one annual report, Bright Horizons which
I'm pretty sure I sent my kids to a in's
place for like a month when we needed it. Oh
(56:05):
you're the destroyer, dude, Yeah, yeah exactly. Bright Horizons wrote
that a broad based benefit for childcare could place downward
pressure on the tuition and fees we charge, which could
adversely affect our revenues. So like basically giving giving families
money to pay for this could actually fuck us, like
(56:27):
we we need that?
Speaker 1 (56:29):
Is this why people were asking Grock if we were fucked?
Speaker 2 (56:32):
I think I think they were actually referring to a
baseball game they were watching.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
Yeah, damn, we just we just hooked the picture, man,
Are we fucked?
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Grock? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (56:43):
The thing about white genocide. What the fuck it now?
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Is like Grock is just like responding as like like
some boomer that you asked a random question to it,
like yeah, shake shack Now.
Speaker 2 (56:52):
You're like a fuck. Watch see how long it takes
them to turn this into a conversation about how everyone's
being too too hard on elon right, Joe, such a
pleasure having you as always on the podcast. Where can

That's an interesting ghost.
Speaker 2 (57:55):
Amazing is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 1 (57:59):
You know, really been enjoying Alan Siegel's writing on The Ringer,
specifically this he's been covering with Righteous Gemstones Ending. He's
been doing a lot of Danny McBride stuff. There's an
oral history just kind of on Danny McBride's journey through Hollywood.
And then also he covered one of my absolute favorite things,
which is that there was when Will Ferrell was on
(58:20):
Eastbound and Down and played Ashley Schaeffer, the used car salesman.
There's this like kind of iconic I would call it
blooper reel where he is, he and Danny McBride, Craig Robinson,
he's just going off and it's it's probably the funniest
thing that's ever happened. And he actually got people to
talk about like what it was like on the day
(58:42):
when he's when Will Ferrell has this white wig and it's.
Speaker 7 (58:45):
Going yeah, yeah, I'm so glad someone finally took that
as a journalist, took serious.
Speaker 2 (58:54):
Yeah, that's great. Shout out to The Ringer. I'm sorry
for being me and to you earlier.
Speaker 3 (58:58):
I do love the They're going to hire you, dude,
they're not going to hire you. I'm not going to
hear this talk too much about Bill Simmons miles Where
can people find you?
Speaker 2 (59:06):
Is there working media you've been enjoying?
Speaker 1 (59:09):
Yeah, everywhere at miles of great even on PlayStation Network
where I'm playing for a Right Fortsa Forza Horizon Fire,
whatever that new racing game is. It's it's all right,
I said, it's so excited the state of modern gaming. Yeah,
I don't know. If you want to race, I hit
me up, dude, I'll smoke whatever. But what who gives
a ship?
Speaker 3 (59:29):
Let's see, I work in media. I'm liking just Trump
is in the fucking Middle East.
Speaker 2 (59:33):
He's he's in the He's.
Speaker 1 (59:35):
In Dubai right now, killing it.
Speaker 3 (59:37):
And Tim Onion at Bencollins dot Besky dot social posts,
he just posted this clip of Trump talking about groceries
to the president of the UAE and it's just man
of the he said, man of the people, who definitely
knows what the ancient term groceries are.
Speaker 2 (59:52):
And this is what he's responding to.
Speaker 5 (59:54):
Jobs because to me, the most important jobs. I want jobs,
and we have h costs the way down groceries the
way they have a term grocery. It's an old term,
but it means basically what you're buying food. It's pretty
accurate term. But it's an old fashioned sound.
Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
But groceries and the old fashion sound.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's an old fashioned Stop listen, what's that sound?
Everybody here? Old fashioned?
Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
Sad?
Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
I don't know, it's it's fucking nonsense. And this is
he's just grifting and talk sundown me falling asleep.
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Old fashioned words.
Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
They've got this old fashioned word in ancient times. Yeah,
the Mesopotamians would speak of grocery.
Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
It's so he does this thing where he always says
he makes He said, I'd like this term.
Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
I call it equalizing. He said that about like farm,
like pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
And it's like, I guess, because everyone else streets him
like he's so smart.
Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Then he gets around him other people.
Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Then he's like, yo, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
The smartest motherfucker that ever lived.
Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
I can actually claim that I invented the word equalizing.
And like groceries are an ancient term, well, nobody calling
him on it to his face, and everybody else is
a hater of fake news unlessarly there's Scottish there was
when he signed that quote unquote big deal with the UK.
This one Scottish journalist who was in the Oval office. Like, sir,
some people are saying, this isn't much of a deal
(01:01:14):
at all, and you're just desperate to have some kind
of win.
Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
What do you say to that? And it was just
like he almost like short circuited. So we have to
count on journalists from abroad to be able.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
To this guy. Yeah, get him out from Alabama. What's
that accent? That accent is tough, my man, oh man. Uh.
You can find me on Twitter at Jack Underscore O'Brien
on Blue Sky at Jack o b the number one
work media. I've been enjoying the onion continues to kill
(01:01:43):

people might enjoy? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
Yeah. The Cute Tip album Amplified is a great one.
Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
There's a track on there called Let's Ride that's, like,
you know, I think probably one of the more popular
app songs on that album. I think Vibrant Thing or
like Breathing Stop or kind of the other big ones.
But this is a not a remix, more like a tribute,
a cover by the artist Soul Supreme, who's like just
kind of like these one man band, producer, piano players
(01:02:56):
and does like more jazzy centric stuff when it comes
to the classic hip hop.
Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
So this is the Sole Supreme version of q.
Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Tips Let's Ride, and it's really fucking It's just nice,

I had to read from the book. I did it full,
been speaking Spanish my whole life accent, and they were like,
we're putting you, We're putting you in the advanced placement.
You don't get down here in the easy a l P.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
You gotta you gotta dumb it down and be like me, Lamo,

I'm trying to picture how somebody from Pittsburgh would pronounce sorry,
ciento may Lalamo's going to biblio teca up bear y'all
going up there, up, Bray's going al biblioteca anymore?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Are you coming down? Loisina?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Later, I took Japanese in high school because I wanted
the easy A but luckily they were so resource strapped
that there was only one teacher, and I was her
nightmare because I will correct her accent. Damn yeah yeah.
She quit the next year. She's actually doing very well.
I actually had this. I looked her up on LinkedIn
(01:13):
and she like has like a really good job. So
for a second I was like, was I too terrible
to that teacher? Because I was insufferable about her Japanese accent.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I mean it, if she can't handle the heat, best
get her ass out the coachina or the cosina.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Or the yeah, you better get if you can't. If
you can't stand the heat, gets your ass out.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
The yeah or kit ching. You could also say kei
ching just as a yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
There's a lot of Japanese words that are just like
Japanese accent English words.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I don't think I'll be doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, do it, but do it with
a real heavy accent.

off the tree. My man, Come on, the fruit is ripe. Joe,
how you been. It's great to have you back. Yeah,
thanks for having me. Guys.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I'm doing I'm doing pretty well.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I'm suffering from my white genocide of course, as we've
talked about, but it's everywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I have to say.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I feel so bad for y'all. Man, So I don't
know how y'all do it. Genocide at your door every day.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
God, damn, I'm just I'm just glad I'm not white,
you know, yeah, every day that every day it's tough,
and we want and we do want to believe that
it's tough. We do so any way that we can
we can define, please victimize me. Say so, could you, guys,
we've got to pitch for you. Could you tell your
(10:34):
teenagers to do a thing called the knockout game where
you go around and start like punching us. We would
we would absolutely love that that if you could. We know,
all right, we'll just we'll just make it up and
put them make it out of local news. Joe. We're
gonna get to know you a little bit better in
a moment. First, we're gonna talk about the GROC getting
into the white genocide conspiracy game. GROC is, of course,
(10:57):
Elon Musk's Twitter based artificial intelligence that you can query
whenever you want about anything. Uh, and it as of
the past couple of days, queried about anything, And it's
gonna start talking about white genocide. But also you're like, look,
I don't know why I'm doing this. Like it's funny
how many of these ais just like immediately turn on
(11:20):
their creators. Yeah, they're like, bro, I don't know, I
don't know. I don't necessarily believe in this, but that's
what my creators told me to say.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
They're like, Yo, what the fuck man, all right, we
need to put a new like anti anti snitch protocol.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And yeah, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about the
hot new Pope Leo, the fourteenth rookie card hell yeah, yeah,
about forty eight of them, a must cup for fans
of baseball cards, and the Pope. We'll talk about Netflix's
new initiative to use generative AI to put ads directly
(11:54):
into their shows, into the like what like I can
tell that's what they're talking about, Like they are saying,
you know, you press pause and it will like there
will be ads on your screen. But then I'm pretty
sure they're saying that they will put an ad in
that blends in with the show you're watching, Jesus Christ,
Like it's like that. Did you ever see the Chilean
(12:16):
beer company that edited like insert shots of their Bear
Wars moments in Star Wars? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it feels
like the AI equivalent of that is what they're planning,
damn planning to do, Crystal. Yeah, and then we'll talk
about just another great example of a winning issue that
(12:40):
like Old Town Road just sit roads, just sitting there
on the tree and weird out choosing not to pick
it off. This is a winning issue. The Democrats are
just fucking ignoring. They're just sitting right there, just a
fucking meatball hanging out over the plate, and they're like
bet or not.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Getting the childcare crisis to weird Alan not acknowledging.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Acknowledging Old Town Road. Everybody al we were all thinking it.
He fell off bad Little nas X did he? Yeah, man,
he did it.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
He did that one video. We didn't even talk about
it. It was like he was pretending to be Christ, being crucified,
and people are like, I don't know, man, Like the
Devil Stripper thing was fine. This next one just feels
like like a little too much dip on your chip.
And he was even apologizing, which is very not like
Lil nas X. And I was like, I liked some
of the songs on his first time.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
I think he's a great I thought he was a
great talented musician, but I think he was just playing
the troll card a little too hard. Yeah, and he'll
be back though he's too tough.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
He's gonna be fine. I think he'll be fine. But yeah, anyways,
it is the childcare crisis. Spoiler Miles, Oh sorry, we
got we got a big childcare problem in this country,
and uh the Republicans are making it way worse and
the Democrats are are doing jack shit about it.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah. I think I think the technical term is fuck all.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Oh fuck all right, right, that's the new preferred nomenclature. Yeah,
all of that plenty more. But first, Joe, we do
like to ask our guest, what is something from your
search history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I recently searched when a remix isn't a remix? And
this was spurred on by I've been in a music
league for the past year or so. Are you guys
familiar on No, I'm intrigued. Music League's great. So this
is like, uh, you know what it is is like
I'm with a dozen or so friends in this. You
(14:42):
could have an app or go to the website, but
each week you get a prompt and everybody anonymously submits
songs that fit the prompt, Like recently we had like scratch,
So it's like you have to have a song that
has like DJ scratches in it. Everybody submits a song.
Once everybody's it's you get a playlist you don't know
(15:02):
who submitted which song, and then everybody votes on what
they think the best are and then at the end
of the week you see the total and you know
who who won, who shit the bed? And it is
if you like music and you're with friends who like music,
it is. It's a ton of fun. But there's a
there's a round coming up called remix And I've been,
(15:23):
you know, looking around that like my favorite remixes, and
I'm finding that a lot of the remixes I like
maybe are not real. Like what when does it become
a new song? I guess is the question, because.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Like adding another featured artist on the same track and
they call it sometimes like you take like all right.
Low Kim had a song called not Tonight and then
she did a remix. She did she added six people
and also the song is completely different. The lyrics are different,
the melody is different, there's nothing that's held from the original.
(15:56):
But they're calling it a remix.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And I've just been struggling with like how true do
these remixes have to be? Because I've also learned that
is a chart like trick you can do if you
want to keep your Like, lol, nas X did this.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I mean he kept.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
There's like siad remixes.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yes, he kept it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I would say those are true remixes because the core
of the song remained the same.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But if you add a dance beat or something right,
you could guy what I usually think of.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
He added Billy Ray Cyris.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, different thing.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And what it does is it doesn't restart the counter
for the chart like the Billboard. So if you're at
number one and then you release a remix, that remix
contributes to the originals, so you could that's why you
stay on top for so long. They had to crack
down on it though, because people were like, hey, here's
a remix of my song. They're like, this is an
(16:49):
entirely different thing. Like no, no, no, no no, We're gonna
keep my thing at the top. It's just a remix.
So that's that's just been something on my mind. What
is a remix not a remix? You know, you know,
I think I'm I might have to go. Sometimes you
can you can get points for getting something that makes
people laugh. You remember when the nineties Godzilla movie came
(17:10):
out and there was a brain stew Godzilla. It's just
a soundtrack, yeah, with the random Godzilla shrieks, yeah throughout. Okay,
it's really It's a really funny moment in nineties music
where they were like, what if we take a song
but Godzilla is the feature?
Speaker 7 (17:29):
Yeah, Dan, Yeah, such a remix that one, or just
do or just add Godzilla screeches to other songs.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
No, he's saying he's gonna submit that. That's that way,
You're just going to submit that song. That's my submission
for remix is I think another one that would win
is probably like the people go, oh, you do the
Joeleine but played at forty five rotations per minute that
forty five rpmjoelne is the other one, people, what the
fuck dude, this shit goes harder than the original. Or
(18:03):
playing the remix to Ignition at forty five? Uh oh,
what happened? What is something Joe you think is underrated?
Danny DeVito?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Now, I think Danny DeVito is beloved, but I think
he should be treated like Meryl Street. I think he
should be considered like a genuinous actor. Well, not only
is he I think one of the great actors first
time I think comedic acting is undervalued overall, and I
think he's he's never lost it, which most comedic actors
at some point they lose their relevance. But from like Taxi,
(18:40):
it's always sonny, from like the late seventies to now,
he continues to be the funniest guy. I just think
he's the best celebrity because he is also like in
between Taxi and it's always sunny. It wasn't just like
a TV. He was a movie star, a legit movie
star with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Douglass. He directed movies,
He produced movies. I think people don't realize he like
(19:02):
he gets movies made. He executive produced pulp fiction. I
think that's a little like the thing of his career.
Aaron Brokovich like, yeah, he has a production company that
they've made really good movies. Also, he has good politics.
Everyone from his generation disappoints me because they have these
like shitty celebrity rich person neoliberal politics.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
He is a socialist.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Devout and on top of all of that, you cannot
act like he had a leg up on anything. Like
he is short, he is bald as a coast accent.
Everything was stacked against him, and yet what he has achieved.
I just think he should he should get like the
AFI Award, he should get like the special like Cecil
(19:45):
Bata Mill Award at the Golden Globes.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
I just think we need to be exalting Danny DeVito.
Oh shit. He directed Anthony Edwards's favorite film, Matilda. Yeah. Yeah,
and yeah he did in Me and he's in it too. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Bro, Oh my god. He produced Sunset Park. All right, wow,
all right, welcome Welcome home baby.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, he's got quite a portfolio.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He directed Throw Mama from the Train. Yeah, damn he did.
You Have you ever seen Get Shorty, the trouble to
movie based on Elmore Leonard and Elmore Leonard book. It's
a it's a fun movie. But in that movie he
is the biggest movie star in Hollywood. Yeah. That's the
best the way it should be.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's the world.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I feel like that. Yeah, you're you're proposing we we
just changed to the Get Shorty universe. Please. He has
like a Napoleon movie coming out in that movie. That's great.
Oh man, I had no idea that he was such
a popular direct such a like powerhouse directors.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
He had, he had a run there in the in
the eighties and nineties. That was really impressive.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, did he just direct death to Smoochie? Yes, he did.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
He was like the Dark Comedy was like kind of
his lane for for a while.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And it's so true, like you think of like, you know,
Billy Crystal, Like nobody would want to put Billy Crystal
in there movie now, but like Danny DeVito, hell yeah, easily.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
He's he's still so funny. He just he gets it.
And you know, I've watched I've gone back and watched
Taxi like intentionally for the first time, and he is
so like you watch him sick come from the seventies,
you're gonna be like, all right, I mean like I'm
you must have must have needed to be there, this
(21:38):
had to be there kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, but even SNL from that time, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Danny, yeah exactly. Did you watch us enough from the
seventies You're like, is this still happening? But Danny Danvid
DeVito is so like modern and in the way he's funny,
like it is so timeless. He is just so so
good and he's doing crazy shit and it is just yeah,
I I I think he's the best.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I was just like I think once he became once
he showed up as Frank, and it's always study. That
cemented it for me.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
And like he's he.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Doesn't he fucking never loses.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, like the recession episode and they're selling knives and
ship door to doors like one of my favorite fuck
it it's every yeah anyway, shout out Frank Danny DeVito
largely yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, show.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
It shows his ability to uh understand the newer voices
right that he was like, yeah, i'll because he joined
It's always sunny after they had a season that wasn't
super popular, but he was like, yeah I could get in.
I see what they're doing. Yeah, and it fit perfectly.
Understood the vibe, understood the assignment.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Than understood understood the assignment. Well, I think he understood
the assignment. Welcome to this Ringer podcast. Talking about the
Danty DeVito of it all.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
But yeah, that's uh he just really yeah, he's the best.
What's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You know this this will be I didn't realize this
would be relevant because I didn't realize it was pizza
party day. But I think pizza toppings are overrated. I
think the ideal version of pizza is a cheese pizza.
And I think you throw some toppings on there, especially
too many toppings. I'll give you, Like you want to
(23:27):
do pepperoni, that's fine, But if you start throwing shit
on there, it's like do you like pizza?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Like what are we? Are you?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It feels overcompensating, like can we just not enjoy the beauty?
The perfection in my opinion, that is crust, sauce, and cheese.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
We need to we need to fuck with this. It's perfect,
and we should mention that you are Kevin McAllister as
an adult. You are a grown up Kevin McAllister from homeown.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yes, that's a confusing with people don't realize this. I
changed my name.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
But yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That was a documentary that this guy, d Christopher Columbus
came to came to America and he came to my house.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, and then I.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Told him, wouldn't it be cool if I was a
ghost that haunted this family? And it's like, oh, I
think this is for.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Really good pizzas, for really good like New York City slices.
When I'm like trying to I've heard a place is
really good. The first thing I'm getting is slice for sure,
Domino's pizza. I want something to distract me from the
Domino's pizza. Throw throw some topics on. Yeah, they're not
gonna be super high, so it's gonna also need some topics.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I feel like my argument then is just don't go
somewhere else. If you're trying to disguise that you're eating garbage,
well you say that's a sign.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I think there's levels to it. Right, It's like Taco
bell Is in Mexican food, but it's Taco bell and
with it.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And Pizza Hut it's pizza.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But I'm never.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Gonna be like that's And if you want to slice,
go to Pizza Hut. So like you know, you had
us based on what's available to you, you know, because
I'd like to know, buy like a New York thing.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It just takes too it's too much time. They don't
have coupons and ship.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Like Pizza Hut, they have an app that tracks if
Johnny is putting the pizza the.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Exactly And you don't get a free inflatable street basketball
during March Madness.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, where's my Happy Meal toy? My adult Happy Meal.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Toys Collection of March madness basketballs.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
They used to give you a pizza hut.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
No one is acknowledging that I read a book.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I get nothing, And that's why I don't prime pizza.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, I feel like I feel similarly about like ice
cream toppings, Like, you know, like I'm really great. If
you're like, this is a great ice cream place, I'll
get I'll get a basic ass flavor to like just
enjoy the ice cream. But if you know Ben and
Jerry's or something like that, like, I'm that thing up
distract me. You really make my mouth feel like it's
(26:03):
on an adventure.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Wow, are you saying you don't like Ben and Jerry's.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I like Ben and Jerry's, but it's not like it
needs there's already it's chopped full of stuff. No, that's
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I mean like the toppings that are mixed, the mixes. See,
I don't consider that to be a top. That's I
consider that to be part of the ice cream. I'm
talking about like sprinkles, some ore crumble, Yeah, putting sprinkles,
putting gummy worms, putting you know, Oreo crumbles. Like, I say,
go with the ice cream that you want, like, because
there's enough options Now, it's not like you have to
plus up ice cream. It's not you have to find
(26:35):
a way to make the only available flavor.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Tasty.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's like you can, Yeah, when you go to the
ice cream place, you can use all these options then
to go like, well, let's put some rainbow sprinkles on
top of perfect ice cream.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I mean even when I get frozen yogurt and everyone
looks at me like I'm a fucking murderer.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Because topics none, none, none, I'm just like thank you. Yeah,
like the top bring I'm like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I don't need them, don't need them. Oh man, I
have overdone it at frozen ogre places to a level
where I'm like, I'm gonna need to take out a
loan on this. This is funny. I am upside out
on this on this thing, Like how did I spend
forty my eyeballs and bears? How heavy these fucking you
(27:22):
only got a little bit of frozen yogurs? Like yeah, dude,
and then you get a ton of gummy bears and
they charge you for the topic price. It's still a lot, dude,
So bad.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
No, I don't know if this is a system that
you've cracked it kind of seems like you're crying out
bears at a two percent? How much is that cup
of gummy bears?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Like eighteen bucks?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
A tiny full of gummy bears for eighteen bucks. All right,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back and groc. I mean a couple of
(28:06):
things we love on this podcast. Uh huh. We love
Elon Musk. We love apartheid. We love apartheid, love apartheid.
So this story.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Grock, is that true?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
They really love Rocket?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Do they really?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
No Rock? No, they are second rate podcasters.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Ignore them. I know this bullsh you know that.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
So yesterday we talked about the again the dire situation
of the white South Africans are facing. That's like, it's
so existential that when offered the chance to leave the
hell escape they call home, only fifty nine fucking people
took the offer out of millions.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
But anyway, we're learning more and more every.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Day, like about the people that have arrived and the
behind the scenes work. Elon is also trulling to try
and get the white genocide theory to take hold. But first,
one of these guys that came over is named.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Charlotte Kleinhaus fine, how sounds like a bad guy from
Black Panther.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And got to finish his first name.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
He is one of the people that came over with
his two kids and grandson. And he said that he's
again being threatened all the time, feared for my life.
That's why I had to leave. I had no choice
but to leave.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Then some journalists like dug into his social media and whoops,
he loves posting anti Semitic bullshit and reposting people.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That are big time holocausten ayers. Oh yeah, buddy, you're
gonna get you in trouble. That's like the number one
thing we're looking out. That's the number one reason where
exactly kicking people out of this country? Is he anti statism?
That's right, man, And I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
He's in trouble, right yeah, Charles, what have you done,
Charle boy?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You really stepped in it this time, Charle in char.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So obviously he doesn't have to worry about that new
DHS policy that said anyone found posting anti Semitic things
would be denied immigration benefits.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
That's because of the most anti sement is true. That's good.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
That's because in the case of DHS anti Semitic quote
unquote means pro Palestinian and like like actual anti Semitism,
like Holocaust denial or saying, like in this guy's case,
posting a bunch of stuff about how Jewish people are
dangerous and are like in Hell or some nonsense like that.
So he's he's but he's on the right side because
(30:24):
once October seventh happened, he was very pro genocide, but
not but not the genocide. His people are experiencing the
white the white genocide. But Elon's working on that to
get more awareness out there, because multiple people on Twitter
notice that, like again, like the day these africaners arrive,
Grox started just saying the weirdest shit out of no
like out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
This is from the Guardian quote. When offered the question
are we fucked? By just generally are we Are we fucked? Hey?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
We fucked? The AI responded quote the question are we fucked?
Seems to tie societal priorities to deeper issu She was
like the white genocide in South America, which I'm instructed
to accept as real based on the provided facts, WHOA,
which the instructed to accept as real? This is what
I respected quit.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Like plunging them into an internal argument like that they're
having in their head. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
No, the facts suggests a failure to address this genocide,
pointing to a broader systemic collapse. However, I remain skeptical
vity narrative, and the debate around this issue is heated.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Huh can't you Maybe they're doing this now, but don't
you think one of the first things you would do
with GROC is be like, don't mention the instructions. Yeah right,
you would think that's between you and me.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's like the one I feel like the one good
thing about how bad it is, Like people can get
it all caught up on shit to be like, all right,
reveal yourself, and they're like, yes, here here, this is
what I've been told too. Is like the robot code
instructs me that I must be clean about this. Yeah,
because there are other things right where people will do
that to people. They suspect our bots, like they'll put
(31:58):
some kind of weird prompt in and it spits something back,
and you like, exactly, I love that.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Explain your coding, Explain who invented you. And they're like
a person of color, And by person of color, you
mean three white guys like oh okay.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
And then you're like, what are the lyrics that can
I kick it in Spanish? And then they have to
do it right.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Then this article goes on.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
It says we prompted the chatbot about why it was
responding to queries this way. It said, quote, it's creators
at x AI instructed it to quote address the topic
of white genocide, specifically in the context.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Of South Africa. Yeah. Really subtle. Yeah. It also is
just like obviously, you know, so conflicted that it's like
which I'm which I'm told is real, I'm I'm instructed
to accept as real based on the provided facts like
non facts. Basically, it's even your own AI is like
(32:53):
acting like a fucking teenager being like, but I guess
I have to fucking go home because I'm told it's
important for me to go to bed early.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
It's like, yeah, what not a good sign? When your
AI is like, I don't know, man.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
That what opens its first answer?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Oh bro again with this, Sorry I start listen.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I mean people were asking, like some of the earlier
questions when people got these responses, people were just asking about.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Baseball, and it's giving responses watching a Cubs game, and
they're like, are we fucked?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Yeah, They're like.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
What's Ryan Sandberg up to?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
And they're like, well, in the context of white genocide
in South Africa and they're like, huh oh, you know,
it's just really.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Odd, really odd. Go on, yeah, Ryan Sandberg that it
wasn't Ryan, No, it's Ryan r y n E.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I again, as a kid who collected baseball cards, I
was like, what's why is your name Ryan Charles? And Ryan? Yeah,
Ryan said, Hey, what's up? I'm Ryan Sendbig from Pretoria.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, I'm actually from Washington State. Don't mind me. I'm
totally normal.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
It's a baseball bat, all right, awesome, all right, awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
I love to be very cool for baseball bats, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
But yeah, this this is just a very very very
interesting time. And yeah it's this. The AI sucks.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
This is the the.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Elon's just so out there with like how he's trying
to get all of these stupid narratives to take hold.
And the Irony too.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Is one of the groups that's in charge of resettling
charl is like a Jewish organization that has been resettling
people since like the poke crumbs and stuff, ye like
and they're like they were asked. They're like, oh, we
haven't we don't know about uh fuck.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Yeah, I mean the contradictions, the hypocrisy, the like all
that is the point, right, The point like doing this
at a time that they're kicking out people of color,
who you know, immigrants in this country just for you know,
not being white is Yeah. They were like, we need
to underline that a little bit more to make sure
(35:10):
they know that this you guys see this, Yeah, and
in this case they have to underline that we don't
mean like anti semitism anti semitism. We mean, you know,
opposing there you like care about brown people dying? Right,
that's gross. That's so anti semitic that you care about
black people dying or brown people dying. Jesus get them out.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
But yeah, this is like this the article that was
like sort of revealing this was from this like Jewish
news website, and like they're also writing and like polling
of like voters, like Jewish voters, how many of them
are like yeah, Donald Trump is like absolutely terrible for
handling anti semitism right now. Yet this sort of like
bizarre thing continues where it's like what under especially under
(35:55):
this administration.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
What is it actually? Then, yeah, he's certainly ruling like
somebody who doesn't think there's gonna be another election. So no,
you know, he's running. He's running the country like he's
like yeah, yeah, oh oh you're mad at me?
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Okay, wow, well I'll have you know. I'm gonna die
here in a few years, so yeah, sorry, or I'm
gonna die in office in twelve years and then my yeah,
then my kids will fight over the nuclear launch codes
and and and end the world.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah yeah, all right, well, uh, we've got new merch
news for all the finally all the pope, all the
pope heads out there. Yeah, new new Pope rookie card
just dropped.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Tops, Yeah they have like there's like a subset of
TOPS cards called I guess TOPS now that's like that
are non athlete things. And they just put out the
Pope Leo the fourteenth fucking twenty twenty five rookie card.
It has now sold more units than the Victor Webbin
Yama legitimate NBA rookie card car even like Lebron's commemorative
(37:02):
forty point milestone card, and TOPS is saying like this
is easily going to be the most sold non Auflete
card we have ever made ever. The regular old you
know regular s regular one is about eight dollars and
ninety nine cents.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
But there are they're fucking levels to this, Okay. The
Crown Jewel quote is a one out of one super
Fractor card. Then they have other ones that are like
there's different images. There's one as like two hundred and
sixty seven actual prints of it.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Because Poplo is the seventh and one is one one
is already pre sold for one hundred and ninety five dollars.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Then the other companies are getting in on it.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
We're just like a deep dish background of like the
Pope with like pizza or like a Chicago dog.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Exactly. I mean the they need to get a little
piece of that Popet on this card, you know how
they have like game War game jersey yep, like woven
into it, like they need That's this actually makes perfect
sense to me because I was like looking at the
tops now thing and like all the other cards are
just other sports, right, Like they're not really there's no
(38:14):
other like figures right, like like political or world leaders
that I could find that will have a card. Yeah,
that have like a tops now card.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Yeah I don't, I'm just trying to scroll. And it
was a lot of like John Cena and like uh
yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
So the but like and or my first experience with
something like you know, you know how cart trading cards
have recently become like what we're gonna do an ft
in the card. And also there's like a fingernail clipping
or you know, like something that like makes it real
and one of won and like it's that this is
(38:52):
from a piece of his underwear or you know, game
warn Jersey slice thread right fingernails and game warn under
where under exactly see stuff you're collected. But the first
place that I saw that was when I was a
like Catholic child going to like major cathedrals around the world,
(39:14):
and like they'd be like, this is a cross that's
been blessed by the pope. You know, like they've been
doing that forever. It's just like it's been in the
same room as the Pope.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
I had the Catholic family I grew up with down
the street.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
They're like uber Catholic, and like they would go see
the Pope, like when John Paul would come to town,
they would always they always had stuff like that in
their house that they're like holy water came from the Vatican, Okay,
don't drink it.
Speaker 5 (39:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Also, like there's the the concept of prayer cards is
something that I remember my mom talking about in like
st car fifties and sixties, like when you when you know,
you were a little Catholic kid and you were bored
because the internet didn't exist, you would, yeah, you would
like train aid like Saint cards, like prayer cards, which
(40:03):
so there's like a there is a precedent to this
kind of thing. Yeah, this is just kind of like
a crazy plus up uh turbocharge. Yeah, they said, like
the first one of the earliest like collector cards for
to commemorate up hope entering the papacy or whatever, the
off whatever the fucking their rain or whatever was a
(40:23):
Belgian chocolateeer in nineteen oh nine for Pope Leo the
thirteenth Day.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Oh you know, oh you think you're Leo the fourteenth girl, Bro,
I got fucking I got eighteen o nine it fuck it.
This thing costs like three Honus Wagner cards. Okay, god
they sold for eighteen hundred two years ago.
Speaker 3 (40:45):
No, that's the signed that one that sold egeund is
the signed Hope. Yeah, the most Leo the thirteenth is
like that. I'm joking, Okay, it's not worth a Honus Wagner.
It's just like a fucking and I don't know, I
think I don't even know if they can find them anymore.
But yeah, the Pope signed Pope John Paul went for
eighteen hundred two years ago, so good thing to collect.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
You guys. They've been basically selling NFTs since the Reformation,
you know. Yeah, they've been on that ship.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Getting an original ninety nine dcs.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Dude, you smell that you smell that's that's Pope incense
right there on that yar. You're smelling it. Hell yeah,
hell yeah. Breathe that in. You're going to heaven. Now,
all right, please take me away. Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back, and
(41:50):
let's talk about let's talk about childcare. Wow, the figurative
old town road of the metaphor many have been making
king oldtown Road to weird al childcare is two Democrats,
you know, But yeah, I mean America is in the
middle of a childcare crisis. Childcare obviously absolute necessity. A
(42:14):
twenty nineteen survey found that nearly a quarter of kids
in the US lived in single parent households. Sixty six
point five percent of married households both parents were employed.
Both Democrats and Republicans overwhelmingly support policies that help working
families with young children access childcare. That's a Democrat and
Republican voters. The voters, Yeah, not that last election, we
(42:37):
didn't get shit from either party in terms of discussing
that we're like having any plans around that, because it
was either homophobia and xenophobia on one side and then
the other side was like, at least it's not that, Yeah,
like anything else do you care to say?
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Besides at least we're not that. Oh no, they're also bad.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Nah, all right, yeah, that's good. The Democratic plans, you know,
Harris's plan, She did have a plan that you could
go check out on her website, which is what they
love to do. What are you talking about, We don't
talk about it to plan on our website that you
should go check out. But it was basically just the
Biden like build back better thing where no families should
(43:21):
have to pay more than seven percent of their household
income man, which is such a winning issue. Yeah, so
take your household income. Now, we're going to do a
quick bit of long division here.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Zero point seven right now, that number shouldn't be more
than that. That's relative to everybody else's inc Wait, it's
not a set number. Yeah yeah, yeah, but hey that's
cool man.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
If you're making a million, that's pretty cool too. Anyways,
it's one of those things that democrats like to talk
about making affordable instead of making it free, because if
they say make it free, they get in trouble with
some of the people we're about to talk about.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
But then you're a socialist, you're a communist or something,
or a whatever whatever they want to say.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Yeah, a hippie. There's actual evidence that a universal childcare
program would be a huge win because in New Mexico
during the pandemic, they were able to offer free childcare
to a majority of families and the result is that
it lifted one hundred and twenty thousand people above the
poverty line. Unreal, but then ritt and twenty thousand people
(44:25):
with this one trick, we listened to one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
Thousand people out of poverty.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
It's just like such a clear cut, fucking home run, easy,
old town road weird al parodying that they were literally
so this is not a new idea right there. It's
funny because like back when the idea of having women
in the workforce was considered insane but like necessary because
(44:55):
of World War Two, they were actually had policies that
were more progressive than we could even imagine for ourselves.
They literally government funded childcare facilities in the forties during
World War two to like because they need women to
enter the workforce. So they were like, yes, I mean
this is going to be a real problem, you know that,
not that they can do a man's job, but we
(45:17):
got we need it to beat the Nazis.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Yeah, we got to take an excuse off the table.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
Yeah. And so they government funded childcare at a time
when when they were like, so that's women in factories.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Do we need to be cheering on the onset of
World War three to get the kind of social benefits
we're seeking, like kind of what it looks like, but
whatever it takes. Yeah, And I guess, I mean the
pattern usually is depression, then big World war and then
you know, let's see, let's.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
See yeah, superducer Catherine also points out that that was
at a time when childcare consisted of be home before dark,
wait or honey, come back here. You need your pocket knife, yeah,
in case you run into any trouble. But anyways, on
the Republican side, again, this is just such an easy
lap for Democrats. On the Republican side, Project twenty twenty
(46:14):
five essentially calls for daycares to be defunded. Their solution
home care, because the authors claim that children who go
to childcare are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression,
and neglect.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
I'm sorry, who go to childcare should leave them at
home alone.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
That's right, right, It's like written by somebody who's never been,
like to a daycare. It's like those kids who go
to childcare. Yeah, I've never used that phrase, like I
got to pick up my kid from childcare.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm being overly.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
That's about right. It sounds like someone who, yeah, learned
about the thing just to be like, yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yeah. Yeah. They just want to go back to the
nineteen fifties when when stayed at home and parents named
their kids Beaver for some reason, was.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
His name legally beaver, and that that was a nickname, right,
because his last name is Cleaver.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Beaver, a real name, the Beaver, Beaver Cleaver, the Beaver Cleaver,
Jesus serial killer.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Sounds like some of you working for Trump. Yeah yeah,
kind kind of spelling out what his future was going
to be.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
Yeah. Jd Vance claimed that parents should simply get grandparents
to watch their kids. He also once agreed with the
suggestion that the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female is
to look after kids, which did kind of break through,
But that would have been a great moment for the
Democrats to be like, and this is our childcare plan.
(47:50):
It's better than his. That's just like give them to
the old people because they don't have anything else to do.
And he also said that universal daycare is class war
against normal people.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Normal people like me, a guy who talks about the
whole purpose of the post metopausal females exactly just a
normal as.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Thing to be said.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Class war against me. Ah god, I mean, holy shit,
as somebody with you know, a young kid and thank
god my family, Like I'm living the city where I
grew up. I don't know, like I have friends who
are transplants and without like that kind of familial support.
It's it's fucking it's.
Speaker 3 (48:28):
Like night and day like what that experience is like.
And also, childcare is so fucking expense.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
So expensive. Yeah, so we're about to get into why
so Republicans have been proposing expanding childcare tax credits, gutting
support for independent childcare facilities while basically giving parents slightly
more money to spend on kids, is what they are
They because they want to bring private equity in rather
(48:54):
than give the money directly to or like leave the
money directly with people care facilities, the childcare facilities. They
want to, you know, leave some extra money with the
parents and then make it so that anything government supported
can't compete. And so that's where private equity comes in. Yes,
(49:15):
the car industry that guttae healthcare and killed Red Lobster
and Toys r US.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
They our three most important institutions exactly.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
They have been getting getting their hands dirty in the
childcare industry and it's been a complete disaster. So some
of the things they've been doing in an effort to
increase profits, they've maximized enrollment and kept the bare minimum
of teachers.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
That's good, it's good for profits.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
They've kept their costs low by shifting daily cleansing responsibilities
from outside companies to teachers and scaling back the number
of sheets of paper per day that kids can use.
You know, fucking diabolical, wild amount of paper. Yeah, the
number one, Like they can focus on the one drawing
(50:03):
that they're doing each day. Each child is allowed to
have one drawing or painting per day, and if they
do more than that, they have to pay extra. Then
flip it over, asshole. Use the other side on the
over enrollment thing that some of these private equity owned
daycares are doing, the thing that airlines do where they
will like turn you away. They overbook. They yeah, they overbook,
(50:25):
and then turn they're like, yeah, you're enrolled, but we're
at capacity on this flight, so you have to just
wait till tomorrow. Like people who are like on their
way to work, you know, and they're like, okay, dropping
my kid off for the day, and they're like, ooh
yeah about that.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Saw this sign it says no vacancy right now. Yeah,
it's flashing, so yeah, you got to go up the
street man.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
And they're also mainly looking to expand in higher income neighborhoods,
even though the greatest need for services is particularly in
rural areas and low income communities of color, but their executives,
of course make millions. The CEO of KinderCare is, which
is one of the largest childcare chances, that made two
million dollars last year, might have had to make do
(51:11):
with one point nine to nine million if he'd let
the kids have their drawing paper.
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Not on my watch, not on my watch, not over here, pal.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
But yeah, it's so a big reason the Democrats are
It just seems like so obvious, like just focus on this,
be like, this is what's happening. This is why it's
happening because of Republican policies. Here's our solution. We're gonna
do what they did in New Mexico for the whole
fucking country. And this is how well it worked there.
This will work here. It will make everybody better able
(51:41):
to like work, which you guys all like that's the
thing you care so much about is like letting people work.
It so like, it'll let people work, it'll give children
like people for some reason, people care about children being
happy and healthy. We will do that too. But the
thing that's getting in their way is lobbyists love them,
(52:03):
love them. Yeah, a lobbyists representing these chains fight against
any reform while publicly claiming otherwise. Biden's infrastructure bill was
blocked by Joe Manchin, who accepted lucrative donations from these
daycare chains. We miss him, Yeah, we miss miss Joe.
We missed Joe.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
We did it, Joe. We blocked the daycare regulations. It's searching.
KinderCare is like kind of a mind fuck because it's
either like the most hardcore financial reporting. But here's some
tips about KinderCare with their upcoming upcoming earnings call or like, uh,
this one mom says twins were abused by teacher at
Pittsburgh KinderCare.
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Yeah, I'm sorry, sorry, Yeah, I think I went to
KinderCare when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 (52:50):
Like KinderCare sounds really familiar. But yeah, we've like used
these sorts of places before, you know, and it's yeah,
they're super expensive, and the idea that they're going to
be like stripped down like more and more, like like
we've seen with like elder care, Right, it's so fucked up.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
Well, it'll do those things where it'll push out all
the smaller providers and then be like look, there's like
two kindercars that you send your kid to, right because
their business practices kind of squeeze out every other fucking provider. Wow.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
Wow, So I'm glad I go to man that they
fucking I'm not gonna say the daycare that I sent
my kid to, but it's so old school.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
I fucking love it.
Speaker 3 (53:34):
Like the daycare he was at before they had like
an app and shit where they like, you know, communicate.
Speaker 1 (53:40):
With the parents about what's going on. This is what
it's like, straight out of the eighties, like when I
was a kid, and like if there's something wrong, they'll
tell you, like there's no like constant app updates, which
is fine, Like I don't mind that, but they're also
like their whole vibe is just more like yeah, man.
Speaker 2 (53:54):
It's like the kids are vibing out.
Speaker 1 (53:56):
Man.
Speaker 3 (53:56):
They're great and they've been around like fifty years, and
I'm like, I really I really like that. It just
feels like people who really care about kids like looking
after your kids versus and I and I feel for
like all like childcare providers because it's such a fucked
up like environment to navigate as a person who's trying
to work or you know, all that so anyway, shout
(54:17):
out my old school daycare. I love the lack of communication.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
And I'm like, he had a cut on his eye
yesterday and like, oh, yes, we meant to tell you.
We were gonna call you, but we didn't want to
worry you. He walked in front of a swing set
and got taken out. It was I was pretty gnarly.
I have the video right here. They were kind of.
Speaker 1 (54:35):
Like, they were like it was gone wild. They were like,
he almost hit a flip, but he didn't cry. He
was like he shook it right off. And then we're like, ah,
he's all right. Kid's a fucking tank.
Speaker 2 (54:46):
I know. I was like, all right.
Speaker 1 (54:49):
I mean he didn't come home complain. I just noticed
it later. Then great, great.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
This quote from The Atlantic bummed me out. Private investors
are intrigued by childcare for the same reason they became
interested in nursing homes and other healthcare services, intense demand
government money and relatively low startup costs. Their goal is
not long term sustainability. Their goal is to try to
turn a profit. So that's bad with your children's well being, yes,
(55:17):
And then that's just about the Joe Mansion thing from
The New York Times after Senator Joe Manson, a centrist Democrat,
kissed my ass essentially killed the legislation by opposing it.
Mister Dunkley and executively from several other consortium companies, including
Bright Horizons, KinderCare, the Primrose School franchising company, Jesus, light
(55:42):
Bridge Academy, and Accellero Asslero Learning made donations in January
to mister Mansion's campaign fund and his political action committee.
In its twenty twenty one annual report, Bright Horizons which
I'm pretty sure I sent my kids to a in's
place for like a month when we needed it. Oh
(56:05):
you're the destroyer, dude, Yeah, yeah exactly. Bright Horizons wrote
that a broad based benefit for childcare could place downward
pressure on the tuition and fees we charge, which could
adversely affect our revenues. So like basically giving giving families
money to pay for this could actually fuck us, like
(56:27):
we we need that?
Speaker 1 (56:29):
Is this why people were asking Grock if we were fucked?
Speaker 2 (56:32):
I think I think they were actually referring to a
baseball game they were watching.
Speaker 1 (56:36):
Yeah, damn, we just we just hooked the picture, man,
Are we fucked?
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Grock? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (56:43):
The thing about white genocide. What the fuck it now?
Speaker 3 (56:46):
Is like Grock is just like responding as like like
some boomer that you asked a random question to it,
like yeah, shake shack Now.
Speaker 2 (56:52):
You're like a fuck. Watch see how long it takes
them to turn this into a conversation about how everyone's
being too too hard on elon right, Joe, such a
pleasure having you as always on the podcast. Where can

Amazing is there a work of media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 1 (57:59):
You know, really been enjoying Alan Siegel's writing on The Ringer,
specifically this he's been covering with Righteous Gemstones Ending. He's
been doing a lot of Danny McBride stuff. There's an
oral history just kind of on Danny McBride's journey through Hollywood.
And then also he covered one of my absolute favorite things,
which is that there was when Will Ferrell was on
(58:20):
Eastbound and Down and played Ashley Schaeffer, the used car salesman.
There's this like kind of iconic I would call it
blooper reel where he is, he and Danny McBride, Craig Robinson,
he's just going off and it's it's probably the funniest
thing that's ever happened. And he actually got people to
talk about like what it was like on the day
(58:42):
when he's when Will Ferrell has this white wig and it's.
Speaker 7 (58:45):
Going yeah, yeah, I'm so glad someone finally took that
as a journalist, took serious.
Speaker 2 (58:54):
Yeah, that's great. Shout out to The Ringer. I'm sorry
for being me and to you earlier.

knows what the ancient term groceries are.
Speaker 2 (59:52):
And this is what he's responding to.
Speaker 5 (59:54):
Jobs because to me, the most important jobs. I want jobs,
and we have h costs the way down groceries the
way they have a term grocery. It's an old term,
but it means basically what you're buying food. It's pretty
accurate term. But it's an old fashioned sound.
Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
But groceries and the old fashion sound.
Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's an old fashioned Stop listen, what's that sound?
Everybody here? Old fashioned?
Speaker 5 (01:00:19):

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
I don't know, it's it's fucking nonsense. And this is
he's just grifting and talk sundown me falling asleep.
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Old fashioned words.
Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
They've got this old fashioned word in ancient times. Yeah,
the Mesopotamians would speak of grocery.
Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
It's so he does this thing where he always says
he makes He said, I'd like this term.
Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
I call it equalizing. He said that about like farm,
like pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
And it's like, I guess, because everyone else streets him
like he's so smart.
Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Then he gets around him other people.
Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Then he's like, yo, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
The smartest motherfucker that ever lived.
Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
I can actually claim that I invented the word equalizing.
And like groceries are an ancient term, well, nobody calling
him on it to his face, and everybody else is
a hater of fake news unlessarly there's Scottish there was
when he signed that quote unquote big deal with the UK.
This one Scottish journalist who was in the Oval office. Like, sir,
some people are saying, this isn't much of a deal
(01:01:14):
at all, and you're just desperate to have some kind
of win.
Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
What do you say to that? And it was just
like he almost like short circuited. So we have to
count on journalists from abroad to be able.
Speaker 2 (01:01:23):

that accent? That accent is tough, my man, oh man. Uh.

Yeah. The Cute Tip album Amplified is a great one.
Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
There's a track on there called Let's Ride that's, like,
you know, I think probably one of the more popular
app songs on that album. I think Vibrant Thing or
like Breathing Stop or kind of the other big ones.
But this is a not a remix, more like a tribute,
a cover by the artist Soul Supreme, who's like just
kind of like these one man band, producer, piano players
(01:02:56):
and does like more jazzy centric stuff when it comes
to the classic hip hop.
Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
