rather than like being wrong and strong ecstatic beings.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Never very confident. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know why.
I wasn't very confident in the lyrics that I never

coming out, I just didn't have it.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It was never as good as that cover would lead
you to believe. That was the best one. The rest
were pretty sweaty. It was like they had three that
they had actually misheard, and then the other ones they
were like under presh her what.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
No, yeah, space oh, ground controlled the major Tom was
clown control to Mao Zedong.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, nobody thought that. Nobody thought that, y'all. Just you
just like found shit that rhymed with some famous song lyrics.
But there were like a couple that were actually misheard lyrics.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Like back Loser. I get how people misheard loser because
I was in Spanish sore hand in the door, soy
on my candy corn boys call me Albert Gord. No,
that's not a stretch, and that's where you made it up.
That's where you started making it up. You need cool Aid.
(02:04):
Maybe I'm not fooling. Okay, that's a whole lot of love.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's about kool aid commercial and it is Anyways, I'm Jack,
that's Miles And this is a podcast where we just
like talk about misheard song lyrics.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, man, we actually it's a.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Meta analysis of other media where they talk about misheard
song lyrics. You determine whether it's bullshit or not. No,
this is this is a show where we look at
the what's trending and what is trending right now is
Larry Sinclair, who is a convicted con artist who for
(02:42):
years has claimed that he smoked cocaine and had sex
with Barack Obama in nineteen ninety nine. Everybody wants to
say he smoked crack because they're racist.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
He just a record cocaine.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yes, okay, we were doing it right, I guess yeah.
But you know this person, he's been around since two
thousand and eight. He came out said, yeah, this guy,
this like limo driver. I asked a limo driver to
put me into in touch with someone who partied. Limo
(03:18):
driver introduced me to Barack Obama, who was like, Hey,
I'm Barack Obama, Illinois State Senator, Illinois Senator Barack Obama.
Let's buy some cocaine. Here's two hundred and fifty dollars.
Buy me some cocaine. I'll smoke it with you and
then we'll make love and it uh so So, Tucker
(03:41):
Carlson went, this is another another big bomb drop from
Tucker Carlson's interview on the Adam Carolla podcast. This is
another thing that he said which is obviously true.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
He said, a guy came forward, Larry Sinclair and said,
I'll sign an affid David, and he did, I'll do
a lie detector and he did, and that's what led
him to say obviously true.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, except he famously failed the lie detector test.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well he took. It's just like your opinion, man, yeah,
but always I don't know. It's interesting in two thousand
seems like it's.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Exclusive only a story because Tucker Carlson has decided to
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Of course, because they're grasping its shit, while like the
walls are imploding on Trump and like it sounds like
more and more people are potentially gonna flip. But like
this guy, apparently Sinclair, he said in two thousand and
four he sign an affidavid claiming to be terminally ill,
as he sought to have a warrant dismissed, although two
decades later he seems to be alive. So he likes
to sign little paper lies and do that. But hey, Tucker, a.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Legit con artist, loves getting photographed with like women in
maga hats, and you know he's just he's for the party.
He's still going around asking uh limo drivers to put
him in touch with people who like to party, and
the latest is Tucker Carlson. He likes to party. Man,
(05:13):
He's out here just trying to get things trending on X.
Have you noted like people, I feel like the media
should just agree that we're not calling it X right,
jud they're.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Talking about the labor like you're talking about articles where
they reference it on Twitter and they're like X formally.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
On Twitter, the website formerly known as Twitter.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, why are we doing every time? Just I don't know,
why are we respecting this man and his dumb ideas?
Just it's Twitter. I'm not gonna call it anything else
because it Twitter. It like it encompasses everything that I
know it to be.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
X is drugs, right exactly? Okay, dark man X dark
give it all right? Well, speaking of that asshole, Elon
not DMX. Another asshole that the one we were talking
about before him, Elon Musk says he wants to sue
the Anti Defamation League for defamation. He's basically said that
(06:17):
they are the reason for Twitter's failing advertising revenue, which
is down sixty percent, which it's, you know, but complete
bullshit and doesn't seem like a thing that he could prove,
but you know, he he it makes sense that he
(06:37):
wants to believe that the Anti Defamation League is responsible
for his revenue losses. As opposed to him proudly shitting
his own pants for the world to see on a
daily basis, which seems to be more the more likely culprit.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It's just a weird boomerang of like it's also like
all the giving not sees their accounts and ship back
and the anti Semitism that proliferates on there, but then saying,
but then using anti semitism to explain that anti Semitism
has been fucking up the bottom line as a company.
It's wild. I'm like, I'm not usually here to defend
(07:16):
the ad.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
L, but is basically a pro.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Lobby. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like it's they usually they're
gonna come out first when someone deigns to say something
like Israel isn't apartheid state. But in this case, you know,
yeah it is true. You look at the fucking rampant
like hate speech that's on Twitter. Yeah, that that that
may affect things. Although I mean, all all Elon mus
(07:45):
did was like triple down on like the worst hand,
so I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, he's just completely he's trippling down on policies that
make it a worse place to hang out, make it
a less cool place to be because it's full of
just like horrifying people who have opinions that are very
unattractive to the vast majority of human beings on the
(08:11):
planet Earth. And you are a advertiser driven model. So
it's not like people look to interest groups to tell
them what is the place to advertise? Right that they
look to what the general population thinks about a thing,
(08:31):
and people think you are bad at this and you
should stop owning Twitter.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
All my ad revenues gone. What could it have been?
It was it's this group of people, or maybe it's
that I fired the people who were finding ads to
put on the platform because you've completely vaporized whole departments
over there. There's a lot there's a lot of other
things at work here. But again I don't suspect or
I don't expect Elon Musk to actually come out with
(08:59):
the objective analysis he's going to do the thing that
you know excuses his shitty behavior.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, but I mean anti Semitism shot up by a
whopping one hundred and five percent after he took over
the platform, and then now his response to the failure
caused by that is to be openly anti semitic with
the ADL thing. So he's basically yeah, and I mean
(09:26):
it is it is kind of funny because like Henry Ford,
like that's that's the kind of historical corollary that people
have typically used for him, that he's like this massive
industrialist who controls like all these different things and you know,
has outsized power. And Henry Ford also a famous anti
semi who blamed Jews for any failures that he had
(09:51):
in business. So I mean it's kind of this is
the anti semi playbook, h which just blamed Jews for
your own failure.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I'm surprised. But I also so I know somebody who
just got a tuzla and he said the Protocols of
the Elders of Zion was pre downloaded onto the entertainment system. Yeah,
as an audiobook.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Cool, all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back, and Bill
Maher's name is trending and that's never that's never a
good thing. Yeah. Usually up it's usually has to do
(10:35):
with when he makes some garbage statement on his show.
But his HBO series is shut down because of the strike,
so instead he's doing something called Club Random Sorry Random
Wow only on Random, which is a YouTube show that
seemingly is shot at what looks to be a peer
one going through a midlife crisis.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It's not great, inexplicable. It looks like shit stolen from
like the old Pee Wee Herman set and was like
reupholstered in the worst way. I don't know what the
fuck this is.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
If Pee Rman was like, you know, early nineties like
hair metal lead singer, Yeah, it gives some of that
mixed in with it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I feel like, yeah, but yeah, ye had Jim Gaffigan on, Had.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Jim Gaffigan on Uh, and Uh, he's just like wearing
black jeans and black T shirt, like yeah, chilling, you know,
being being a bad boy. And he talked about how
he loves his writers, which is never good for what's
going to come next because then he says, but the
(11:44):
WGA's demands are kookie. Oh, they kind of believe that
you're owed a living as a writer and you're not.
Is that so guy who relies on them to say
the things? Because without your writers, bill, you would just say.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The most fun islamophobic bull ship.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And I mean, like the stuff he says is already bad,
and that's with writers, Like, yeah, he really, uh is
the most writer constructed comedian that I am aware of,
because he's yeah, every time he gets gets clear of
his writers, it's it's a real mess.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Comedian is a technical term, I guess. Yeah, sure, he
has comedy specials, so we will call him a comedian.
But I feel like when I picture him, it's him
saying to the audience, what, oh, come on, what oh? Oh,
you're too sensitive. I'm sorry, and like that's that's his
(12:48):
mode of comedy, is saying bad ship that nobody likes
and isn't funny, and then going, oh, I'm sorry, do
I offend you.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm sorry that I imply and side against the group
of people. I'm sorry that upset you. You can go
back to your frozen dinners now, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, but really the worst like just the because he
gives he like makes good ideas look so bad.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh totally totally.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But back during the two thousand and seven strike, he
again there's a pattern here, proclaimed I love my writers
and then went on a rant about witch hunts and
threats from the union, and then he likened the strike
to the invasion of a.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Rock Oh no, sir, Okay, sure, yeah, good, great take,
great take.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So his writers have spoken up and been like, well, actually, like, so,
first of all, thank you for everything because writing for you,
like we are paid extremely well because you are notoriously
the most difficult person to work with. Just a nightmare.
(14:02):
And there's also a conan writer who talked about how
Bill Maher was a guest and insisted he'd not be
spoken to by hair and makeup and also requested that
there be no skin to skin contact with the people
doing his hair and makeup.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh good mind, nobody wants to touch your gray turkey
meat skin. Yeah but okay, Bill, Yeah, cool cool?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh what what did I offend you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
By your skin? I don't like to be touched on
the face by people who make less than you know,
four hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
No eye contact? Is that so hard to understand? New rule?
You can't make eye contact with me?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay? Such a fucking Weirdoh that's awesome that this this
talk show set for his YouTube. It's such a such
an l on its face. Like looking at it, it
it looks like some guys like weird, like you say,
midlife crisis shack or like art that isn't hung, it's
(15:11):
just like sitting on the floor a table that's between
the two chairs that's entirely too crammed with what looks
like like a whiskey decanter or something.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What the fuck is going on?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, no, it's a he's a People also point out, like,
just look at his Twitter, which I don't know when
you do. Most of his shit is just like being
offensive while not being like funny in any way. Yeah,
and that's that's who he is without writers. Oh Bill, sorry,
(15:45):
ah Bill, ah Bill?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Uh o.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A n has settled lawsuit with a Dominion employee. They're
they're not off the hook with Dominion just yet, but
it's just fun to see, like, just see this company
face con sequences repeatedly. So they settled a defamation lawsuit
brought by a Domingion employee, Eric Komer, for an undisclosed amount,
and Newsmax previously settled with Coomer back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
They've done this what you said said, they've already done
this with him that it's like another one.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I love that this time News last time.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh oh sorry, Newsmax.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Right, yeah, they are separate, they are different, yes, but
it began with allegations made on a podcast where a
right wing activist told the host that Komber was part
of an anti foot conference call in which he told
them he would rig the election. I love the idea
of an anti fuck conference call.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's a sick name for a podcast, the Antifa conference
conference call.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
That's a great people.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I love that. And he said, you just rigged the election.
That's what he said. That's what he said. It was
on an Antifa conference call. What do you want me
to do? Hey? This is Eric?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Is is this Antifa?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hey, I just wanted to check in. Would it be
helpful if I rigged the election? Are you guys?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Go on? I love that. The quote was quote, don't
worry about the election. Trump is not going to win.
I made fucking sure of that.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Antifa? Okay, did you guys like that? Antifa? Okay, thank you,
thank you, thank you?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Hey Antifa? Yeah, Antifa here, yeah, hey, it's coomer uh ah,
Trump's not gonna win. Don't worry about it. Me a
voting machine employee made sure that it's he's not gonna win. Yeah.
I mean, they're they're just bad writers. Like it's bad fiction.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Writing is you know is And I don't know if
this goes in the podcast, but is there a show
where you you published, like you take out ads and
papers and say that this is the number for Antifa
to get people to call who are like these like
right wing losers, and you huck up and you're like, yeah, Antifa,
uh you got, well, what's going on? Whatever you want?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
What do you want to do? Man? You want to
rig an election? We got all, we're doing it all.
What do you need? You want to get somebody fired for?
Because they're not being woken up. That's what we do here.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Okay, we're anti fascists, so we yeah, that's what we do.
We re elections. You want us to beat some people up, Yeah,
that's what we're here for. Just random people, just.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Randoms, catching strays.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
All right, should we go out on a little little
victory for labor? Yeah. In New York, the state has
banned the union busting tool of captive audience meeting.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yay, that's the thing where employers get the workers together
and force them to sit through a show and tell
of union busting bullshit, where basically these like union busting hitmen,
or if they call them consultant labor consultants or whatever
the euphemistic term is, and just try and scare the
fuck out of them. And that's why you don't want
to unionize. Okay, Jeff Begos loves you, so thank you.
(19:00):
Any other questions, good, goodly.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
There's videos where people like lose an arm and then
turn to the camera and and that's why you don't
want to union sack.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
If only somebody had told me. But yeah, good to see. Uh,
these are the kinds of things that that are the
tools that have been used time since time immemorial by capitalists.
So yeah, I guess that's one less tactic they can
use to basically just again try to scare the fuck
out of workers who are just trying to advocate for
(19:31):
their own rights.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So yeah, good, good, good, All right, Well, those are
some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon.
Don't worry, we will get to the guy who shiit
an airplane on tomorrow's full episode. We felt like we
needed a full episode to deal with the trust me. Yeah,
well we'll get to it.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Don't worry, folks, I know you're all clambering, but uh,
it's coming. Don't yeah, get out your clam boat and
don't be clambering, clambering.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We we are back tomorrow with a whole last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing
about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, he's just completely he's trippling down on policies that
make it a worse place to hang out, make it
a less cool place to be because it's full of
just like horrifying people who have opinions that are very
unattractive to the vast majority of human beings on the
(08:11):
planet Earth. And you are a advertiser driven model. So
it's not like people look to interest groups to tell
them what is the place to advertise? Right that they
look to what the general population thinks about a thing,
(08:31):
and people think you are bad at this and you
should stop owning Twitter.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
All my ad revenues gone. What could it have been?
It was it's this group of people, or maybe it's
that I fired the people who were finding ads to
put on the platform because you've completely vaporized whole departments
over there. There's a lot there's a lot of other
things at work here. But again I don't suspect or
I don't expect Elon Musk to actually come out with
(08:59):
the objective analysis he's going to do the thing that
you know excuses his shitty behavior.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, but I mean anti Semitism shot up by a
whopping one hundred and five percent after he took over
the platform, and then now his response to the failure
caused by that is to be openly anti semitic with
the ADL thing. So he's basically yeah, and I mean
(09:26):
it is it is kind of funny because like Henry Ford,
like that's that's the kind of historical corollary that people
have typically used for him, that he's like this massive
industrialist who controls like all these different things and you know,
has outsized power. And Henry Ford also a famous anti
semi who blamed Jews for any failures that he had
(09:51):
in business. So I mean it's kind of this is
the anti semi playbook, h which just blamed Jews for
your own failure.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I'm surprised. But I also so I know somebody who
just got a tuzla and he said the Protocols of
the Elders of Zion was pre downloaded onto the entertainment system. Yeah,
as an audiobook.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Cool, all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break
and we'll be right back. And we're back, and Bill
Maher's name is trending and that's never that's never a
good thing. Yeah. Usually up it's usually has to do
(10:35):
with when he makes some garbage statement on his show.
But his HBO series is shut down because of the strike,
so instead he's doing something called Club Random Sorry Random
Wow only on Random, which is a YouTube show that
seemingly is shot at what looks to be a peer
one going through a midlife crisis.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It's not great, inexplicable. It looks like shit stolen from
like the old Pee Wee Herman set and was like
reupholstered in the worst way. I don't know what the
fuck this is.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
If Pee Rman was like, you know, early nineties like
hair metal lead singer, Yeah, it gives some of that
mixed in with it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
I feel like, yeah, but yeah, ye had Jim Gaffigan on, Had.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Jim Gaffigan on Uh, and Uh, he's just like wearing
black jeans and black T shirt, like yeah, chilling, you know,
being being a bad boy. And he talked about how
he loves his writers, which is never good for what's
going to come next because then he says, but the
(11:44):
WGA's demands are kookie. Oh, they kind of believe that
you're owed a living as a writer and you're not.
Is that so guy who relies on them to say
the things? Because without your writers, bill, you would just say.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The most fun islamophobic bull ship.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And I mean, like the stuff he says is already bad,
and that's with writers, Like, yeah, he really, uh is
the most writer constructed comedian that I am aware of,
because he's yeah, every time he gets gets clear of
his writers, it's it's a real mess.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Comedian is a technical term, I guess. Yeah, sure, he
has comedy specials, so we will call him a comedian.
But I feel like when I picture him, it's him
saying to the audience, what, oh, come on, what oh? Oh,
you're too sensitive. I'm sorry, and like that's that's his
(12:48):
mode of comedy, is saying bad ship that nobody likes
and isn't funny, and then going, oh, I'm sorry, do
I offend you.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm sorry that I imply and side against the group
of people. I'm sorry that upset you. You can go
back to your frozen dinners now, okay.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, but really the worst like just the because he
gives he like makes good ideas look so bad.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Oh totally totally.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But back during the two thousand and seven strike, he
again there's a pattern here, proclaimed I love my writers
and then went on a rant about witch hunts and
threats from the union, and then he likened the strike
to the invasion of a.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Rock Oh no, sir, Okay, sure, yeah, good, great take,
great take.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So his writers have spoken up and been like, well, actually, like, so,
first of all, thank you for everything because writing for you,
like we are paid extremely well because you are notoriously
the most difficult person to work with. Just a nightmare.
(14:02):
And there's also a conan writer who talked about how
Bill Maher was a guest and insisted he'd not be
spoken to by hair and makeup and also requested that
there be no skin to skin contact with the people
doing his hair and makeup.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh good mind, nobody wants to touch your gray turkey
meat skin. Yeah but okay, Bill, Yeah, cool cool?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh what what did I offend you.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
By your skin? I don't like to be touched on
the face by people who make less than you know,
four hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
No eye contact? Is that so hard to understand? New rule?
You can't make eye contact with me?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay? Such a fucking Weirdoh that's awesome that this this
talk show set for his YouTube. It's such a such
an l on its face. Like looking at it, it
it looks like some guys like weird, like you say,
midlife crisis shack or like art that isn't hung, it's
(15:11):
just like sitting on the floor a table that's between
the two chairs that's entirely too crammed with what looks
like like a whiskey decanter or something.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What the fuck is going on?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, no, it's a he's a People also point out, like,
just look at his Twitter, which I don't know when
you do. Most of his shit is just like being
offensive while not being like funny in any way. Yeah,
and that's that's who he is without writers. Oh Bill, sorry,
(15:45):
ah Bill, ah Bill?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Uh o.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
A n has settled lawsuit with a Dominion employee. They're
they're not off the hook with Dominion just yet, but
it's just fun to see, like, just see this company
face con sequences repeatedly. So they settled a defamation lawsuit
brought by a Domingion employee, Eric Komer, for an undisclosed amount,
and Newsmax previously settled with Coomer back in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
They've done this what you said said, they've already done
this with him that it's like another one.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I love that this time News last time.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Oh oh sorry, Newsmax.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Right, yeah, they are separate, they are different, yes, but
it began with allegations made on a podcast where a
right wing activist told the host that Komber was part
of an anti foot conference call in which he told
them he would rig the election. I love the idea
of an anti fuck conference call.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's a sick name for a podcast, the Antifa conference
conference call.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
That's a great people.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
I love that. And he said, you just rigged the election.
That's what he said. That's what he said. It was
on an Antifa conference call. What do you want me
to do? Hey? This is Eric?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Is is this Antifa?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Hey, I just wanted to check in. Would it be
helpful if I rigged the election? Are you guys?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Go on? I love that. The quote was quote, don't
worry about the election. Trump is not going to win.
I made fucking sure of that.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Antifa? Okay, did you guys like that? Antifa? Okay, thank you,
thank you, thank you?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Hey Antifa? Yeah, Antifa here, yeah, hey, it's coomer uh ah,
Trump's not gonna win. Don't worry about it. Me a
voting machine employee made sure that it's he's not gonna win. Yeah.
I mean, they're they're just bad writers. Like it's bad fiction.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Writing is you know is And I don't know if
this goes in the podcast, but is there a show
where you you published, like you take out ads and
papers and say that this is the number for Antifa
to get people to call who are like these like
right wing losers, and you huck up and you're like, yeah, Antifa,
uh you got, well, what's going on? Whatever you want?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Man?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
What do you want to do? Man? You want to
rig an election? We got all, we're doing it all.
What do you need? You want to get somebody fired for?
Because they're not being woken up. That's what we do here.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Okay, we're anti fascists, so we yeah, that's what we do.
We re elections. You want us to beat some people up, Yeah,
that's what we're here for. Just random people, just.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Randoms, catching strays.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
All right, should we go out on a little little
victory for labor? Yeah. In New York, the state has
banned the union busting tool of captive audience meeting.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yay, that's the thing where employers get the workers together
and force them to sit through a show and tell
of union busting bullshit, where basically these like union busting hitmen,
or if they call them consultant labor consultants or whatever
the euphemistic term is, and just try and scare the
fuck out of them. And that's why you don't want
to unionize. Okay, Jeff Begos loves you, so thank you.
(19:00):
Any other questions, good, goodly.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
There's videos where people like lose an arm and then
turn to the camera and and that's why you don't
want to union sack.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
If only somebody had told me. But yeah, good to see. Uh,
these are the kinds of things that that are the
tools that have been used time since time immemorial by capitalists.
So yeah, I guess that's one less tactic they can
use to basically just again try to scare the fuck
out of workers who are just trying to advocate for
(19:31):
their own rights.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So yeah, good, good, good, All right, Well, those are
some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday afternoon.
Don't worry, we will get to the guy who shiit
an airplane on tomorrow's full episode. We felt like we
needed a full episode to deal with the trust me. Yeah,
well we'll get to it.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Don't worry, folks, I know you're all clambering, but uh,
it's coming. Don't yeah, get out your clam boat and
don't be clambering, clambering.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We we are back tomorrow with a whole last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing
about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
