Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to season one, Episode one
of Joe Daily production of Hi Heart Radio. This is
a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's
shared consciousness and say, officially, off the top, fund the
Koch Brothers, Fuck Fox News, fuck fuck Ben Shapiro, fuck
Tucker Carlson, fuck JK Rolling, fuck Fondent. It's Monday, October twelve.

(00:26):
My name is Jack O'Brien aka. I can't wear no
active fashion. I can't wear no active fashion. My white ties,
my white thighs, my white thighs, my white thighs. I

(00:47):
can't tamn no, no, no no. That is courtesy a
prick gang, and I'm thrilled to be joined. As always
buy my co host, Mr Miles like the mush I
like the mushy fries. The mushy fries. They are late
night snack when Nicks up in for I like the

(01:08):
mushy fries. Anyway, Shout out to the Discord, the Akas
channel over there they heard I'm a mush boy. I've
always been a mush boy, on my way to being
a mushman. The Mushman Prophecies coming this winter to a
theater near you. Shout out to toilet ghosts on the
discord for that a k A. Thank you all for

(01:28):
saving me from looking at Twitter by hopping on the discord.
Appreciate it. Yeah, mush King, Yeah, you just like stringy
mashed potatoes. That is your version of French fries. Yeah,
I think what I all? I remember one time, you know,
like those plato things where you could just push the
plato through and it come on different shapes. I put
mashed potatoes in there once as a kid, and that's

(01:49):
where that's your superhero origin story. That's how that's how
you came to be the mush King that you are exactly.
They don't know that when they caught me in the
back of a Toys r Us with my own mash potatoes,
cooking myself up some mush mush fried miles. We are
very fortunate, for real, in fact, lucky to be joined

(02:12):
in their third feat by the hilarious, the brilliant, the
talented Pola Egannalede. What's up, guys, how's it going up?
How are you welcome back? Good? So relaxed in this
political climate, just taking it easy. Feels like the beach.

(02:34):
Feels like the beach and deep sure, what's the weather like,
what's the air like? How's your air quality? I can't
feel my body. Um, it's been actually not great. I'm
in downtown l A and it's been not good and loud,
very loud, lots of helicopters, lots of random noises and explosions.

(02:58):
It's gotten better the last couple of months, though, so
that's nice. My four my summer fireworks still haven't stopped
in my neighborhood. Really, where are you? I don't know
if you want to mean well, you know, I'm I'm
in the depths of the San Fernando Valley where it's
active still. I still get like every night there's at
least two of them going off, like significant popping, bangy things.

(03:22):
Whatever the kids are in. I just like to think
that somewhere Mary and Pippen are having a great old
time just wreaking having across this country. You know, alright, Policy,
We're going to get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners
a couple of things we're talking about. We are going
to do a outdated but still relevant rundown of just

(03:45):
the latest and the President's continuing deteriorating mental state. We're
gonna talk about what the President had to say to
Gretchen Whitmer at the end of the week last week,
when it was revealed the people who follow him we're
planning to kidnap and kill her. He was like, you're welcome,

(04:06):
which was an interesting take. Yeah, we're also recording this.
There's no telling what what is going to happen in
the in the future, but we're recording this before Trump
has his rally. I guess he's announced that he's planning
to have a rally, possibly at the White House, in
lieu of any sort of debate or any sort of

(04:27):
non propagandic actual appearance, normal presidential appearance. We'll see you
guys have seen. But well, yeah, that's a thing. He's
got to get out there, man, So he can just
cough behind like a like a cape or something. I
don't know what the funk is gonna look like. He's
gonna like dangle a baby from a balcony or something,

(04:54):
put him in a Trump outfit, and then have him
break ship from the balcony. Hey, whatever it takes, they
won't be able to tell them that far. He would
dress Johnson up as a coronavirus sending hit him with
a chair. That's what trump. We'll talk about how Pope
Francis has been Bernie pilled. He's a Bernie bro. Now
we're gonna talk about Hubie. We're gonna talk Emily in Paris,

(05:23):
the show based off of that Throne song, all of that, plentymore. First,
like to ask our guests, what is something from your
search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay,
this is um the last thing I searched, which I
think is very cute. I saw a tweet online and
it was this black female doctor and she said that

(05:46):
one of her patients, Um, I should find the tweet,
but she said that one of her patients was scared.
And then the parent was like, um, she's like, uh,
your doctor looks just like you and just like Doc
mc stuffins. And I was like, what's doc mc stuffins.
And I looked it up and it's this little um
animated show about a little black girl who cares for
like all of her little stuffed animals and toys and

(06:07):
her clinic. And it's so cute. And I was like,
that's so adorable, that's so sweet. Yeah, this is one
of those rare moments from like you heard it. Wait,
you ain't heard of docmic Stuffins. I know I hadn't.
I don't know. I don't know what. I blame growing
up in Utah. No, I blame being old because I
only found out about the ship literally three months ago

(06:29):
and it just ended in April. It was It's from
March April. Isn't that sweet? Though? I was not aware
of it either, So that's that's on me. It's a
Disney thing. I think I've heard the I've heard the
theme song, but not up on the lower I think, actually,

(06:51):
we have a docmic Stuffins doctor's kit that you can
buy where the kids like take care of stuffed animals.
But oh so cute. I was gonna say that you
can use that as a field medic kit no matter
where you. I keep that to myself. The kids all
uh find out about it in their own time. Polony,

(07:12):
what is what is something you think is underrated? Okay,
this is a real toxic of me after saying that
cute ass thing. I just I think I think sometimes
ghosting is underrated. I think sometimes it's good. It depends on,
like the extent that you use it. But sometimes you
just don't want to talk to people and they don't
get the hint. And if it's like a random Tinder

(07:34):
person or whatever, I think it's like okay to ghost,
depending on like how long you've talked to them for
that's the funk boy and me though, my mattresses on
the floor and I don't have a headboard, and your
and your wallpaper is just the rock movie posters. Yeah,
it's just it's Florida ceiling the rock rock. Yeah, I

(07:55):
mean ghost. You're saying ghosting in the Tinder sense, not
just generally in your day to day life, because I
get what you're saying is like when and something like
that where the interaction is no no longer of value
to one party and it's not necessary, it's not necessarily disrespect.
It's sort of like, I mean, I could be mad
rude and be like yo, stop messaging me, or just

(08:16):
be a wall that you text at. Yeah, I guess
what is. The other alternative is like the emotionally mature
thing is to have like an emotionally mature conversation where
you're like, this is how I feel, this is how
you make me feel, and therefore I am assertive enough
that I am now ending our relationships. Historically, men are

(08:40):
great at handling that. Yeah, it's exactly going to say yeah.
Women get great responses from being like I'm not interested.
What the thank you for being so fucking honest with me,
you fuck. I appreciate the respect. I also appreciate it.
I appreciate that you're fucking emotionally mature, but I'm not bitch.

(09:02):
I also think ghosting is like also good and just
like not like a real sense of like leaving the
person forever. But I also think there are some conversations
where you just don't want to respond because it's like
going to be awkward or whatever, and if or like
it's like people saying weird shipped to you, like with
family or something. So like individual conversations all sometimes ghost

(09:23):
where I'm just like, I'm not going to respond to
this right now. Maybe I'll respond later, but I don't
want to deal with this right now, like texting and stuff. Yeah,
and as a as an emotionally like a a non
assertive person, I have been in relationships where like I
can't win the conversator, like not win, but like I

(09:45):
can't control the conversation. I there's a winner and loser
in every conversation. You just like, like my fight or
flight is like neither. It's just like freeze up and
agree with whatever the other person. So like, I, yeah,
ghosting is the I don't know, the more honest thing

(10:07):
to do in my case, and some I'm usually like
very aggressive and straightforward, but sometimes I'm like, I gotta
work of time for this ship, and then I just
like forget about it and it's gone, and then I've
ghosted them by accident. Yeah. Yeah, well you know, sometimes
you've got to be the ghost with the most to
get your point across listening. Ghostbusters is all female cast.

(10:29):
Now we're making the Ghosts all female. Okay, okay, thank you.
We're taking it back. We're taking Toxic City back female.
I have female toxic. I've been getting that a lot
on Twitter lately, and I'm fine with it. Is Brittany
the leader of the movement. I use that gift every
time every time someone calls me toxic, I'm like, it's

(10:49):
me bit and exactly, yeah, you got it. Everybody has
to sing it. It's a rule. Now next do that
say that more than like contagious yawn? If you do
the string sample from Toxic. Yeah, everybody has to do it.

(11:15):
What is something you think is overrated? Okay, I'm annoyed
with this ship. I hate it. Um Like, stealing content
online bugs the ship out of me because like comedians,
because I mean my favorite comedian is the Fat Jew,
and I think he's underrated. I agree, he's the Scorsesey

(11:38):
of tweet stealers. Yeah, he's a taste maker. It's just
I don't know. It's so annoying because like I've gotten
to know more like online personalities, and it's like, I
don't know, you just like fuck, Like this affects their
income like directly, it affects like their opportunities directly. And
so I've started to tell my like non comic friends,

(11:59):
I'm like, un follow this fake gass account. They stole
my friends tweets, and my non comic friends like don't care,
feel like don't They're just like I don't care. I
like the follow. It's a good follow, And I'm like,
these are people behind these accounts that are just benefiting
off of like my friends work, Like what are you doing?
So it's been bugging this ship out of me, Like
a lot of them a lot of those, like content curators,

(12:22):
which what the funk are you talking like? It sounds
like like an art gallery but for dick jokes like
doing um these content curators, some of them will like
pay or like ask and tag your thing, but like
a lot of them just like take ship and even
then the tag like sure, but at the end of
the day, they're guaranteeing like impressions or a certain amount

(12:44):
of interaction, which makes them more you know, attractive to
people who would want to pay for sponsored posts and
things like that, and that whole eCos it's all tied together.
But I can only imagine, like trying to get someone
to care about like how this kind of joke theft
or content theft like actually affects humans in real life
because it's like another layer someone like too many people

(13:05):
already don't even understand how they're like labors being exploited.
So then on top of you, like, hey, you know
that fucking thing you stare at with your mouth open
and giggle at, that's also fucking someone ever like what
do you It's just memes, It's just means somebody makes
us means what do you mean? I'm just giving sixty
hours of my life for fucking nothing. What are you
talking about? It's just work, It's all good. It's it's

(13:27):
also like I don't know. It's like how like we
all are trying to like raise our social media whatever,
like we try to like tweet and like put up
content or whatever. I can't imagine, Like I hate that part.
I hate the part of like like I love tweeting,
I love coming up with jokes, I love whatever, But
I hate the part where you're like you have to
screenshot and then post it on Instagram and then post

(13:49):
that to your store, like the business part of it,
where like you're trying to get more followers. I hate
that part. So imagine that's like that's all your job
is is to, like but like what out of rotted
brainwormy like thinking, if that's all you do, you don't
even come up with a creative part. I can't imagine
what a dinner conversation would be like with you, But

(14:11):
I feel like that's the direction. So much of our
culture is going like sort of the curating, like valuing
people who are good at like curating things and like
finding cool things out of like just massive amount of information.
Like I don't think it's great, but I do I

(14:32):
do feel like that is just generally like the values
that have taken hold in general, like on social media,
Like like memes come from a book that was literally
it's the book that introduced the idea of genes, also
introduced the idea of memes, and it's just like a

(14:52):
meme is like this disembodied idea where the whole goal
of the idea is to reproduce itself. And it like
that book, like Richard Dawkins didn't write about it as
like you know, and that's intellectual property. It was just
like this disembodied thing where like if the idea that
is created is replicable, then it is a successful meme.

(15:16):
But it's just weird there. There is like an inherent
contradiction there, especially when you're a really talented writer who
is putting your talents into creating something and then it
just reproduces out of control and people remove the author's
name from it, which is annoying and nobody should ever do.

(15:38):
Dana donley Um, who's been on this podcast before, had
like a really great tweet that I like have like
I've always like thought that, but she put into words
and it was about how like if not enough people,
I forget exactly what she said, but if like, if
not enough people replicate it, then it's stealing. But if
enough people do it, then it's a meme, you know
what I mean. So it's like it's but I think
that's like slight. Yeah, yeah, I don't know, I know

(16:00):
where that threshold is. But I think even beyond that,
like with memes, like people like change the punchline, they
try to come up with like club ways, but this
like screenshotting and just like posting it onto your own
thing with that, like that's like you get money for that.
That's like like that's more obvious of like a fucked
up thing at least start there, right, Yeah, but that's

(16:20):
almost like bringing like a cell phone camera to a
movie and taping it on your cell phone and then
picking your phone up to a projector at your own
JA and people are like yeah, and you're like, this
is the shitty version of the real one. What are
you're doing? Like, I don't know, I just it's less
less to think about. I follow this one thing, I
don't have to. Yeah. But then there's also the thing

(16:41):
where everybody has the same idea at the same time,
and it seems like they're copying off each other. I
forget which news story involving Trump. Uh oh, I think
it was when he tested positive for COVID and like
I saw thirty people tweet. I did not see that coming,
like not see, but not see. And uh. At first

(17:04):
I was like, oh, man, they're like ripping each other off.
But then as more and more people made that exact
same joke, I was like, Wow, it's just our brains
are all like the same. I've tried to recently and
there's like some people I've made friends with, some Twitter people,
and some of us have this attitude of like, well,
like I I've deleted viral tweets where it was parallel thought,

(17:27):
because you want your jokes to be like unique, right,
So I've started doing that, and before I with Sanda,
But I used to not do that as much. I
used to be like, well, we both thought of it,
we're going to deliver it in a different way. It's
gonna be a different thing. Um. But now with like tweets,
I'm like, oh, it's like the exact same line. Like
I don't want someone to look up this joke and
then see like thirty other people writing this joke. So

(17:47):
like there have been ones that have been like like
it was on the way up and it looked like
it would hit like maybe a hundred k and the
next day and I just like deleted it because somebody
with like nine followers also did it or whatever. But
it's like, so I have that attitude, I know, like
lot of other people don't. But I'm like, why wouldn't
you want your feed to be Like why wouldn't you
if you're creative, if you're like making the content, like

(18:08):
you don't you don't want to have the hack jokes,
you know, So like I will just tell my friends,
I'm like, hey, by the way, somebody else did this joke,
and then like leave it up to them to delete.
But like, you know, there are a few of us
who were like, oh yeah, I'm deleting that immediately because
it's not chnique. I don't know, it's hard, but I
think you're right in terms of like stand up, because
that's the thing that also like began being policed incredibly strictly.

(18:31):
Uh like if people had like similar observations, and it's
just like but I mean, at a certain point, like
a lot of it is who is saying it and
how they're saying it, Yeah, for sure, and like the
context and like, yeah, a lot of us are coming
up with like very similar ideas. It's like I think
stand up has more flexibility, and like how in all

(18:52):
those things? And finally, what is a myth? What's something
people think is true you know to be false or
vice subversa. Okay, so I was looking this up. It's
hard for me to like nail it down. But I
was saying this right before. But apparently, um, negative messaging
politically or the framing of things in a negative manner
isn't necessarily better than positive framing, and sometimes positive framing

(19:14):
works better. Um, I apparently, like people do use negative
framing for like trying to get people to vote, Like
if you try to motivate people with like loss, they're
more likely to Yeah, so people think that, but then
in the at least laboratory wise versus real world, it's
not necessarily been confirmed. So like I have heard on

(19:37):
other like political podcasts and stuff that positive messaging works
better and maybe it depends on the time frame, and
like if it's people have said like superpacks versus the
politicians themselves, is like slightly different, but yeah, I think
the myth is that negative framing is not necessarily more
of a motivator for real world actual You better tell
dear Leader Trump, because I got hit with not even joking,

(20:02):
like seventies too straight mid role ads when I'm trying
to watch Mary at First Sight on the Lifetime app
because yes, I will choose a thirty second interactive ad
to shorten my advertising watching experience. But they keep playing
this same one and it's the most low energy fearmongery
ad where it's like all these just I mean these

(20:23):
like retired cops who are the most inarticulate, like unconvincing
people to be like you know, Joe Biden, he didn't
have the back the backs of the police, so you
better he's he can't. We don't trust them, and other
guys like Joe Biden in he's actually emboldening the people
to do crime and then they're bolden, then they're gonna

(20:44):
do more crime if you don't like crime. Bote Trump
failed SNL character weekend up. It feels like a sketch
because like I watched it and I even like, Yo,
her majesty get in here, Like is this compelling at all,
Like who it's it's such like an old school way
of messaging, Like it feels like just so dated that

(21:04):
it's almost like, are you really only trying to talk
to people over the age of sixty? Because I feel
like that's the only audience who's getting this kind of
messaging would resonate with and like white people over the
age of fifty, because I don't know if my parents
would understand that. Like Joe Biden, I mean, they got
to first get people who can say his fucking name correctly.
In the ad, a guy called him Joe Bienen. What

(21:25):
if what if they call him Joe Bienen and then
they pronounced Kamala Harris perfectly, Like what if they're like
more progressive than we think. It's not Kamala, It's Kamala. Okay.
It sounds like they're not really doing a great job

(21:46):
of laser precision targeting this time around. Maybe if they're
if they're catching you, I mean, I know you are
still an undecided voter, but uh yeah, Miles, what do
we have to do to convince you? I don't know,
you know, because I'm worried about Binden. If the cops
are not if he doesn't have the cops backs, then

(22:06):
I don't know what will happen that these people want
to destroy our way of life, right. I like that
they were retired cops. It's like, oh man, all right,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And

(22:33):
we're back and uh. In a continued update of our
newly recurring segment what the fun was that we're we're
gonna take things back to the end of last week,
to last Thursday, uh, where in Trump had a very
interesting day. I would say, yeah, I mean it's everything. Yea,

(22:58):
his doctor cleared the president to return turned to public
engagements because the virus that we've been studying and learning
about for the past year just stopped operating like it
had in every instance up to that. We know everything
about the virus. We all know that. You guys, you

(23:18):
don't understand. His immune system just deployed some law and
order and now he's fine. So right, Um, yeah, it's
just v I P syndrome that is going to kill
the rest of us. Uh. He also called into Hannity
on Thursday night, UH and sounded not physically healthy, which

(23:40):
was right, that's been the case he's been. He again
He's insistent on projecting this image of health and vitality
and strong and not mushroom penis. So he'll do everything
he can to change age his image. And when he

(24:01):
it was so bad, you know, like when you do
that ship where you know, like we we talk on
Mike's Alotzo, you know, the thing where you're about to
cough and you're kind of trying to get the last
of the momentum out before you got a copy. Like
he was doing that ship throughout the What if I
just told you he was just taking a hit right there,

(24:22):
real quick shot. Look all right, that was just a
bong rap dude, not COVID, but he had this. He
was throughout it trying to fight back his coffee. At
one point he clearly hit mute on his phone and
then comes back He's like, all right, excuse me, um,
and at the same time with his chest out, being

(24:42):
like I'm feeling so good, so strong. Uh, y'all never
seen me like this. I'm dunking on a ten ft
rim Like, no bullshit, this is just all real, like
wonderful improvements I've made. I like how he was like, um,
this is earlier this week, but he was like, I
feel better than I did twenty years Oh, and it's like, motherfucker,
none of us felt good about you twenty years ago.

(25:05):
I don't care in your lifetime at what point you
felt good. You were talking like you had neural syphilis
in your thirties, Like I don't give a fun. The
whole thing, right is just it's again, there's no there's
no real concrete, uh information that feels like it's truly
coming from like the mouth of medical experts, and what

(25:26):
objective medical observations would tell us about his health. It's
all like, you know, the president is the ship his
doctor got strong armed into clearing him to go back
to you know, public engagements if he we don't we
can't tell you the last time we tested him and
he tested negative, and we also they also have said,
aside from like quite literally saying we they're not sharing

(25:47):
when the last time he tested negative was, they're also
saying like they're not sharing whatever they would do if
he tested positive again. They're like, let's just ignore any
of that because we can't scare him. I mean, because
they're not isolating him now, so what in there what
would change? He is positive? Shouldn't we just assume that
he's currently testing positive, since they're not saying that he's not.

(26:10):
And they're also not saying the last time he tested negative,
Like wouldn't he wouldn't he be saying, oh, I just
tested negative this morning, Like this is the man who
manufactures receipts constantly to try and get himself out of ship,
you know what I mean, whether that's he's the CBS
of politicians, like long ass fake gas receipts. No one

(26:33):
wants them. They're used to like looking at you like,
this is not a proof of purchaser. This is a
discount on tide pods. The next time you come. I
was like, well, whatever, I gotta go. But yeah, out
to your point, like if they had the goods, you know,
they would be marching up and down Pennsylvania Avenue waving
him around. And Dr Fauci said, the only way they
could be unequivocal about that is if you got two

(26:54):
PCR tests, like within twenty four hours, and they both
came back negative. Polly Mariice change in reaction tests. Okay,
oh ship, we're getting signed. You know what shout out
to me in high school those PCR reaction tubes. I
would steal them and I put like drugs in them,
and I was like, yo, I got Molly in this
little Yeah. Look look I was in the lab and

(27:16):
I was like, wait, what these tubes for. They're like
there for the PCR test. I'm like, there for Molly.
Now By, I don't want to say you're what's wrong
with America, but I do feel like there's been a
lot of misinvestment. Yeah. These are, of course the doctors
who were left over after he demanded that his doctor's

(27:39):
signed n d as in two thousand ninety. So yeah,
in twenty nine on them n d A or about
to be a part of a giant project called Coronavirus Homecoming. Yeah.
So people are suggesting that he's in a panic over

(28:00):
his re election bid, and that's why it's if nothing else,
Like if you were part of his campaign, it would
you would be frustrated that he's become so distracted by
proving that he's a strong boy like that he he's
going on Tucker Carlson like a few weeks before the election, Uh,

(28:21):
just to get a medical examination live on TV. Or
I guess he did that on Friday. Um he did yeah,
on Friday after we couldn't. He might have canceled it.
He's like, wait, I have to take my shirt off.
But yeah, this is his first live on TV with

(28:45):
video appearance on TV, and he is and probably not live,
probably taped, but it's like his face on TUOPOC. Like
I I just keep thinking about the medical perspective, like
the doctors or the doctors who are working for him,

(29:05):
and like what that must feel like, the like the
staff at Walter Read and what liked knowing that this
man is responsible for the most misinformation across the nation,
maybe across the world about coronavirus and how and like
treating it. I'm obviously like they're professionals, so they're like compartmentalized,
but like, how fucking awful would it be to be like,
this is the person that is causing the death of

(29:27):
health care workers that I know as a healthcare worker,
and I have to treat this man and like he's
gonna keep He's gonna go out and do it again.
He's gonna do it worse in a everyone else in
secret service. Yeah, and I can't imagine And then like
to be like the I don't know, just to be
the person examining him on Tucker Carlson, Like that person's

(29:47):
that's gonna be you know, that's going to be like
a clown character, you know. So it's a doctor Mark Siegel,
who is a Fox News doctor who has been responded
on Fox News repeated spreading disinformation about the coronavirus. So
they couldn't even get like one of his uh you know,

(30:08):
real doctors to do the thing. Can you imagine they
fucking like the doctor comes in and he goes, oh
my god, this man is so healthy. I can't even
get your Tucker, you have your information right there, but
hold this specimen. It's just a push up competition. That's
all they're gonna arrest, and he's gonna be like it's gone.

(30:30):
It's clearly gone. And I put that on. God on
watch watch me push out a hundred right here. But
then they have like a machine that's just like lifting
him up and down. So he's like, oh, yeah, you
should feel these horseshoe dress ups right now, come here,
come here, Tucker. It's yeah, right, it's gonna be yeah,

(30:50):
like I I don't you know, considering every single thing
he's done to that bizarre regeneran you know, infomercial and
talent seniors, like guess what I got? You? Discount cards
come in your way? Like, I honestly like a promising treatment.
So that is like a new a new thing that
he is doing, which is talking about and actually promising

(31:13):
like with scientific and medical basis treatment. He's just claiming
that he's going to like have it shipped to every household, right,
But I'm wondering. I just want to like, has anyone
asked him about hydroxychloroquine and white and get it now else?
I know. I'm like I want to reporter to be like,

(31:33):
why did you not use this? Now? Now what happened
to your miracle cure? B oh? Okay, so now you're
on that regeneral Okay. It's it's it's the same ship
of like my son's not going to go to school,
but yours should. I'm mailing in my vote, but you shouldn't.
It's like the same fucking ship, but with his life.
I'm like, it's so it's like I don't know, it

(31:55):
doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what any of us say.
He's just going to continue being crazy. So we just
have to vote, so like that's all that can happen. Yeah,
So he's continuing to spread discord like Gretchen Whitmer could
have been in in any other White House. A the
fact that the FBI foiled in a plot to kidnap

(32:20):
and uh presumably kill the governor of Michigan. You know,
that would have been an off ramp for any other presidency.
But because you know, his end goal is, as a
yell psychiatrist put it, like, he gets joy and excitement
from seeing other people suffer. He wants violence. He wants

(32:40):
to heighten this thing until people are being harmed. Uh
So the way that he responded to that was and
finding out that two of the people who were involved
in the plot where truckers for Trump was to basically
you know, double down right. Yeah, Well, you know in

(33:02):
the beginning that there are people in the news, especially
like on the right, they're like, you know, these don't
sound like right wingers, they're like anarchists because they hate both.
I'm like, okay, so they would they would attack a
Trump rally. You're telling me that, um, but yeah, then
this information comes out. Yet two of the guys had
like some yard signs. The two really cool roommates that

(33:24):
could have been us in a parallel universe. Uh, Jack
just too too elderly millennials, like trying to figure out
how to do something cool. They had, you know, they
had the usual trappings of right winger ship of like
they had the little snack flag as we call the
Gadsden flag, and they had the Confederate flag flying outside
their house. So you know, very clear where they they

(33:44):
sat in terms of where they might be getting energized,
who might be getting them turned up off of Twitter. Um.
And Yeah, the whole thing was just with all this
coming out and even more scrutiny on the president's words
while he's also trying to you know, there's additional scrutiny
because his words are about how great he's doing physically. Uh.
He had to come out and really just find a

(34:06):
way to make it seem like this wasn't his problem.
And I think the best way to do that was
to just basically yell at the person who was the
center of a kidnapping plot, Governor Gretchen Whitmer. He tweeted
this is he he had. He hit her with like three.
Governor Whittmer of Michigan has done a terrible job. She
locked down her state for everyone except her husband's voting activities.

(34:27):
The federal government provided tremendous help to the great people
of Michigan. My Justice Department and federal law enforcement announced
today that they foiled a dangerous plot against the governor.
Rather than say thank you, she calls me a white supremacist,
while Biden in Democrats refused to condemn Antifa, anarchists, looters,
and mobs that burned down Democrat run cities. I do
not tolerate any extreme violence. Defending all Americans and even

(34:50):
those who oppose and attack me is what I will
always do as your president, Governor Whittmer, open up your state,
open up your schools, and open up your churches. So
this thing had it, I don't know wild. Also, like
this just reminded me of like how recent um the
Esther Salace case was where someone like murdered her son

(35:13):
and like uh like injured her hus. I think he's
still or he was hospitalized her husband was. I know
he's obviously still recovering, But like this ship is real.
For It's like there are real people who will like
kill people in office and and to be encouraged by
the supposed leader of the free world. Like that's wild

(35:35):
to me that the first thing that you wouldn't do
is like condemn and then like offer some amount of
there's no comfort ever coming from Trump, Like he cannot
physically comfort and he's never in his life offered anyone
comfort ever. Don't you see it. It's like the weird
most awkward ship. It's like he just like slapped that

(35:55):
kid in the back. It was supposed to be like
a hair tussle. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Even in person,
he like doesn't know how to physically interact with It's
like here's some paper towels Puerto Ricans. It's wild, but
it's like it's a real threat. I can't I don't know. Yeah,
and you know, there's still the headlines continue to still

(36:16):
describe them as militia members rather than domestic terrorists, because
again the media again it's hard to keep hard to
call white supremacy out or extremism or terrorism for what
it is, especially when the subjects are not the typical
narrative that we see, which is brown faces. Brown faces

(36:36):
want to do all the bad stuff. But it hopes
they're prepared when when the election doesn't go the way
that these people want it to. I hope the media
is prepared to call them terrorists when they respond with violence. Um. Yeah,
And it's interesting to see how there's a lot of
people doing one eighties, Like even people in the Michigan
State Legislature who are like, you know, in the beginning

(36:59):
or like, yo, this is so fucking sick. These people
are at the Capitol with their fucking A R S
and ship, just trying to show show the governor what's up.
And a lot of like other Democrats in the state
legislature were like, yo, they're fucking high, Like the Republicans
are high fiving some of these people with guns, Like
what the fun is going on? And then cut two
after and they're like, obviously these people are traders. They're disgusting.

(37:22):
They need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the lot. I'm like, y'all are complicit too. You were
getting you know, key keying with them at the capitol
as well. But everyone it's everyone's being real slippery again too,
because even when all this stuff is on its way there,
there's still people in office fanning that ship and and
being you know, cheerleaders for them. It's like the cops

(37:44):
like high five are like saying hi to Kyle Rittenhouse
or whatever his name is. Yeah, or the cops talking
to the Proud Boys and telling them where to go
to avoid being, uh in the line of fire as
they're you know, taking out left wing testers. Yeah. Well,
speaking of left wing protesters, somebody say my name, No

(38:06):
Pope Francis Baby, the woke Pope is at it again.
First he was like, man, things don't look good over
there with this whole climate change thing. Yeah. Better? Uh
did you really say funk like the world is ending?
Was that direct quote? I took that to mean that.

(38:28):
I mean, he obviously came out and was like he's like, yo,
fuck baby, fucking's like eating it comes from God, and
that's on God, okay, and on the Pope. And you
could take that to church, So look away, I'll funk
away my children. Am I am? I religious? Now. The
way he was, the way he was talking about it
was really like sensual, and I'm like, that's right, man,

(38:50):
because food is like an experience and sex is the
same way. We're like, we're engaging with our senses. And
I'm like, yo, like okay, okay, Pope sty um tattoo.
Next week, Cardi B's interviewing him on her He's at
a nail salon with her Champagne, and he's like, I'm

(39:13):
so glad you got rid of offset CARDI. You know,
he wasn't ship you know what I mean, And he
wasn't respecting you. So I bless I bless your next relationship.
So he comes out and it was really saying, like,
looking at the pandemic, looking at how billionaires have just
been siphoning all of the fucking wealth, Like you just
look at the charts since March. The people who are

(39:35):
making out of this ship like fucking bandits. It's you
could just straight at the top, look up there, and
we need to normalize stealing from these people. By the way,
So as he's looking at all of this, he said,
he made this statement quote, there were those who would
have had us believe that freedom of the market was
sufficient to keep everything secure after the pandemic hit. And
then he basically goes on saying that he absolutely cannot

(39:59):
believe the way things have gone, or I mean he can,
but it should prove that we really need to rethink
how all of these economic models are moving. And he
he was saying like he thought after two thousand and
eight people would have woke the funk up. Yeah, like
did you see what happened? Okay, so you're still not
going to do that. So he then goes on to say,
because the no one you know took a Q in

(40:21):
two thousand and eight said quote, but instead government's response
to the financial crisis only quote increased freedom for the
truly powerful, who always find a way to escape unscathed.
Tripal down economics. Pope Frances continued, persists as quote the
dogma of neoliberal faith and that last quote neoliberal like
him him criticizing neoliberal that's some mL Okay, that's some

(40:46):
like that is some Bernie Brochet. That's like, straight up,
I mean, liberal is a is a bad word. I
kind of I'm feeling that well. I think if you're
looking purely on what the outcomes are and the policies
that are being preached and promoted, then yeah, that's it's
been an utter failure. It's we've we've completely we've ranged
the towel dry for any possible other outcomes, like maybe

(41:09):
if we squeeze it a little more, something else will
come Out's like, no, it's only death and despair and
pain and sorrow. Unless you can really, you know, begin
to treat people and their labor like it's worth as
much to the people who, you know, just sit back
and cut the checks. But his his whole vibe generally
since he came into office, no into pope m um. Yeah,

(41:36):
since he uh potmobile, Yeah, occupying the potmobile, the papacy,
since he popped up Papa Papasi sounds like something I
get done at the kind of um. But since since

(41:56):
he came in like he was succeeding a dude who
wore like red fancy red leather shoes with like gold
trim and uh like walked around with a cape and
a scepter, and you know, I was just born to
He thought the giant pope hat was understated. He was like, yeah,
we need to make that thing a little bigger the

(42:17):
previous guy. And then he came in and he was like,
all right, I'm not going to live in like this
golden cased mansion and I'm just gonna like eat dinner
with normal people and not go with all the trappings
of living like I'm an eighteenth century monarch and uh
and I don't know, guys, I missed the old pope

(42:38):
straight from the go Pop this is this is That's
what I'm saying, though, this is the system breaking down
because now that he, like you know, is around other
human beings, he starts seeing reality you know now suddenly
right now, suddenly interesting though, because that like that the

(43:01):
Pope would have something that spot on to say, like
he's so he lives in fucking the Vatican, Like, how
would you expect someone who lives in the Vatican to
be to feel connected that much? To be like fun
capitalism right if you can't, like it's it's always interesting
to see people like who we would look at it

(43:21):
like they do not live like normal people have a
grasp on what that might be. And I'd imagine when
you are like shock and you know, religious figure, you
are actually interacting more with people who are in need,
or whether that's guidance or spiritual guidance or physical shelter
or whatever keeps you in touch. But it's always nice
to be like when you hear people who can't go

(43:42):
outside without a bunch of bodyguards like I have, like
a somewhat human take is always refreshing because most of
the time these people are like I don't know, I've
I've never shook a hand of someone who didn't make
a billion dollars and maybe twenty three years I would say, um.
And I also don't go to stores or there are
other people inside. We usually we clear it out, clear
that out. My like baseline for people that are in

(44:04):
that type of position is like Justin Bieber leaving a
monkey in Germany, like you know what I mean, like
that disconnected because I'm just like, you don't have it,
like well, he didn't have a normal childhood, but like
a normal existence is not like it can't it can't
happen for you. You have no understanding of how the
world works. So I'm just every time I go to it,
I'm like, what would just how would Justin Bieber react? Oh,

(44:25):
they didn't react that way? Incredible amazing Wow. Yeah. Or
like that guy from BTS who said he lost like
thirty five pairs of air pods in a couple of
months because he's just not doesn't give a fuck and
he's just like always just like you, I'll get I
would love to be his like cleaning lady. He's not
gonna miss them. I'm just gonna sell air pods on

(44:45):
the side. All my friends are getting hooked up. You're
like half the time, I take one of the air
pods out and hide him from him, because then who'll
leave it and get a new pair, and then I
just I'll sell it to you. Bro bts is still
the rich steal from them too. I don't care how
much more you do they get though? Are they Are
they one of those things? Are they one of those
groups so that's like owned by a parent company? Who

(45:05):
like actually, were they kidnapped at twelve? That's what I
want to know, because they like they have like some
of those groups that were like trained from like eleven
or twelve right to be like giant stars. Yes, raised
in a bubble of like being just handsome and unconnected
to any And it's like let's say, let's say, yeah, exactly,

(45:31):
they tried. They try to keep the pope, you know,
on the prow. They don't don't want the pope to
get married. You have like a bachelor vibe. We can't
like let you be oh yeah, down the pope fox,
that's for sure. Oh yeah. He was talking about how
he found in love with a woman back in Argentina

(45:51):
when he did a seminary. Yeah you know, damn or
he was I'm sorry or he was edging. I would
hate to, you know, bring the Pope into it. But
the Pope is definite edging, you know, because that's how
he doesn't want to completely go there and and and
invite the the anger of the Lord. But he gets
his All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back. And we're back and it's time for our

(46:26):
brain bleach rundown of what we watched over the weekend. Miles,
you watched the new Adam Sandler joint Hubie Halloween, Hubie Halloween.
QUB was not a pre existing character right like this
they treat it like it's a like Hubie Halloween would
be the title you gave to like a media movie

(46:48):
like Media Halloween or you know, like a pre existing character.
What was that? What was that? Like weird guy wh
would be like uh Earnest, Yeah, this goes to camp.
It's like HUBI goes to camp fred qube Halloween. So
tell us, Miles, what what what is the latest facet
of the Adam Sandler Cinematic Universe bringing a s U

(47:14):
are you are you d C or a SCU the
Marvel Cinematic Universe too, you know, as it's somebody who
you know, is a fucking kid who saw every movie
in the nineties and like love nineties SNL and the
big part of that is Adam Sandler and Adam Sandler movies.
And I said this last time, for better or worse,

(47:35):
I've I probably have ingested every single you know, Happy
Madison film up until when he started doing like those
cash grabs with Sony. But like, you know, the the
main ones, you know, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy,
Little Nicky, all that ship, Mr d Weddings, the wedding singer.

(47:56):
You know, it goes on and on. So this is
like kind of interesting because it brings everything into this film.
Like all the people who have been in Sandler films
have like bit parts or are like, you know, cameos.
I don't even like the first cameo is like a
really strong one for a Sandler flick, like not even
for a Sandler flick, but like when you when you
see this person as the character, they are like, oh wow,

(48:18):
like we're really we're really going down like memory Lane
with a lot of Adam Sandler characters. And the main character,
Hubie is like canteen boy. So yeah, and he has
like a little thermis that's like magical. So there's like
a lot of winks and nods to pass films. Whether
that's like the main um like love interest being like
something like Veronica Valentine, the same thing as Veronica van

(48:40):
or Vicky Valancourt in The Water Boy. The main love
interest name is Veronica Valentine. It's like something. It's a
it's like a double V name with homegirl from uh
Modern Family who was in uh Happy Gilmore Wow, Julie
Julie bow right right, So like violent Valentine, Violent Valentine,

(49:03):
that's what it was. Yeah, and it's fun like so
it's got a lot of there's fucking Will from Stranger
Things is in it, looking like he's fucking twenty eight already.
It's that was probably the most jarring thing is Will
from Stranger Things is in it. And Her Majesty was like, yo,
that's the boy from Stranger Things. And I was like, no,
that's a twenty eight year old man. I don't know

(49:23):
who then that ain't that boy with the haunted face.
That's how Quarantine aged him. We all worked in different ways,
you know. Well, yeah, you realize like how we're We're
used to seeing them in like increments of three years
now or something like that, so they're and they're at
that phase nowhere they're rapidly becoming like young adults. Um.
But it was like overall, really really fucking enjoyable. It

(49:46):
was really it's just fucking it's hard to say, like
I didn't like it. There's there like Tim Meadows is
in it, and him and Meyer Rudolph have scenes together.
They're so fucking funny in it. Um fucking Ray Yota
is in it. There's just a lot of weird you know,
shout out to God, friend of the Pod, Blake Clark,

(50:08):
my boys, my friend Nick's dad who was farmer friend
and the water Boy, and like in many others, Like
you're not going like this guy he's in there too, Yeah, yeah,
from fifty First Dates as well. I Mean it's got
like so like when you watch it, no matter what,
you're like, it's the oh and they're in it too,
and it feels like, you know, it would be a
dream to be in an Adam Sandler movie, not for

(50:30):
the final project, but just to be on set because
like everybody's rolling through and it's like it just I
just feel like Crafty would be really good. Everybody's chilling.
It's probably in Hawaii, like like David Spade and Chris
Rock are probably they're just like every all of his friends.
He's built his career to be a good time. His career.

(50:53):
His movie is the ones that he makes are like
him and his friends on vacation in Hawaii getting paid
for by the movie, and it's like that would be
it would be great to be that one of his friends, right,
And he seems to like do right by them, like
when he gets all these like massive residual checks, He's like,
all right, I got everyone in Tesla's and here's like, uh,
fucking some land. I'm a huge Adam Sandler fan. I'm

(51:15):
not like I don't necessarily think all of his movies
are like like masterpieces or whatever, but I'm like a
huge Adam Sandler fan because he seems like a really
sweet good guy. His he is a he beat the
curse of stand ups being bad at acting, like in
Spanglish and Uncut Gems all that ship like he's proved
himself as an actor, I think. And then also his
like most recent stand up special, it just reminded us like,

(51:37):
oh fuck, like he's a stand up. This is what
got him got us, Adam Sandler. We for like, people
give him ship for his movies, but he's a fucking
bomb mass stand up like He's last Special. I watched
three times in a row, Like I was. I was like, yeah,
even the stand up where there's a part where he
goes he does from the song bit that he does

(52:02):
about flying a plane or the train going off the tracks,
like I'm like you from the stand up Special. So
there's a ton if like your mind is jam packed
with memories from Sandler, like everything you'll I don't know,
Like that's what was really fun about it was it
was an easy watch. It was a complete utter distraction
from the hellscape of our modern world and uh, really

(52:25):
really solid movie to just you know, regress to uh
and feel like a kid. And I will say, like,
there's a couple of jack I've some of these camels
I want to tell you about on Mike right now.
But in a way, I just want you to see
him because there's moments where I was I was like, oh,
this fool is in the movie, and then I'm like this,
they're not they're not comedians. And then you watch your like, Damn,

(52:48):
that was pretty good though, I'm not gonna lie that
was that was done well. So um yeah, it's I
will say, if you if Unlike the other trash fires,
I've had to watch um over the course of this
experiment we've been doing on the show. I'm like, I
was really like, I would watch it again. This is
this is this hell is easy? Yeah. So, I mean,

(53:11):
my there's one thing that I don't usually get down
with with Adam Sailor movies, and it's when he's doing
a voice the whole time. Like Little Nikki water Boy
were not my favorite Sandler movies, and it seems like
he's doing a voice this time, but it also seems
like it's less Uh, I don't know. Like Little Nikki
um the water Boy both seemed like they were designed

(53:33):
to be annoying, whereas the trailer for this one it
just seemed like him doing kind of his his silly voice.
Say that's so funny. You have like a Batman opinion.
You're like, I just don't like the second voice. I
don't like fil if the A s A S E
U man. Yeah, it's interpretation of Sandler. Do you like
his voice? This this accent affect he's gotten. This one

(53:57):
is a little bit hard to understand. I'm not gonna
lie Like there were moments like I'm gonna put the
He's always like Joe bin In. It doesn't have the
backup the police and Joe buying, um is gonna set
your city is down. The one thing I really did
love which made me realize how much of like a
West Coast like you know, concrete jungle rat I am

(54:18):
is is that it takes place in Salem, Massachusetts, like
in the fall, And I straight up did not believe
it was a real place. Like I was like, I
was watching with her. Maagine like, Yo, what the funk
is this? Man? This ain't real. Where is this some
fucking set looking all the fucking whimsical and ship She's like,
that's that's Salem, Massachusetts. Even never I'm like, I don't

(54:38):
know about Salem, Massachusetts, but this looks what have you
never seen hocus Pocus? I know, hocus pocus, bro, I
mean that's I'm sorry. Well, you know it's it's against
my religion, you know, to deal with a kind of
magic in that. You know, it's against my religion to
deal with any virgins lighting a black plan kid. No,

(55:00):
you know, I don't deal with virgins. Okay, So that's
like Pope Francis, He's like, fucking yeah, you know, they
gotta know he's down with Magdalen. You know what I mean.
They gotta be, Yeah, they gotta be. They gotta be
versed in the Penta took if you know what I mean.
But the whole thing was I don't know about So
I'm guessing Salem. That's the first five books of the Bible. Uh.

(55:22):
And I don't know why, you know, I just thought
it was a weird joke to make. But in hocus
Pocus that also takes place in Salem. Yeah, and it
looks like the Salem Witch Trials, like the witches, So
it starts from the premise what if the Salem Witch
Trials were really about witches? Like what if those were
actual witches? Clearly written by a man likes to take

(55:49):
your life in the form of alimony payments. Yeah. Anyways,
that stars uh Sarah Jessica Parker and uh underrated performance
and Kathany Jamie. Yeah, but that that brings me to uh,
you know, s JP always reminds everyone of sex in

(56:11):
the City and Emily in Paris is a Darren Star
joint Darren Starr, creator of nine O two one oh
melrose Place and Sex in the City. I did not
realize that going in. Um and he's done it again, baby,
he is, Uh what does that mean? So, like those

(56:32):
shows were compulsively watchable. Sex in the City was I
don't know, like I I really love Sex in the City,
but it's kind of trash, Like it's like, uh, definitely
like lowbrow, funny fun uh garbage TV. That was, like,

(56:52):
none of those shows are realistic portrayals of what life
is like well living in those situations. Right, Sex in
the City she is a blogger who lives in like
it's really fucking rich, really rich, and like her outfits,
her wardrobe, her apartment, like she is just living that

(57:13):
best life in New York City. It's not realistic. It
is a fantasy and it's a lot of fun to live.
That's what this dude does. Um And yeah, like the
complaints something so Emily in Paris has taken over like
the Twitter verse a lot of social media this week

(57:35):
because people who are French really hated people who are
like cultural like elites. Really, I mean the people who
are like doing those like r I p Notre Dame
posts on Instagram probably like those I can't believe what
have they been there? I was there for a semester.
Like people are mad that like she just waltz is

(57:58):
in there and like everything works out for her magically,
and it's like, yeah, that's kind of what a girl,
white girl. It seems realistic. This is a documentary. I
do think though, like I will, I haven't seen any
of this ship. I haven't seen sex in the City
and I haven't seen Emily in Paris. Sex in the City.

(58:19):
I almost lost a friendship over because somebody was like
it's it's feminist, you love it, and I'm like, I
don't know these rich bitches like I can't relate. I
might watch it. I don't know, we'll see but uh
but Emily in uh parents. Like I do think that
like there is this obvious like hyperfixation in TV and
movies to like have this like fantasy of like everything

(58:41):
works out or like it's like like they're just beyond
like anybody who knows rich, you know what I mean.
Like it's it's all these like really fucking rich people
interacting and we like love watching that because we're like,
that's gonna be me someday, for sure, definitely gonna happen.
But also what Parasite taught us is that this it
could be so entertaining when you like have the other society,

(59:05):
if you acknowledge class, it can be like so good
and like, I just I don't know. I'm also of
those people that sometimes when I'm scrolling through Netflix and
I just see like the poster, like the images that
they have on Netflix, it's like rich white people, rich
white people, rich white people, and I'm just like, I'm tired.
My eyes cannot handle that man has spotless white linen pants.

(59:26):
I'm not watching. If you're if you can afford wearing
fucking white pants in a movie, I can't relate to you.
I mean, you're not driving, you're not cooking, you're probably
not even sitting somehow like it's for you, just like
on a grande like hummingbirds to. One time I was

(59:47):
eating at an Italian restaurant and I was sitting there
and I watched this woman walk in with this like
fancy fucking white wool dress, and I was like, she
and I will never connect about anything. You want an
Italian restaurant in white, bitch, what do you have in
your life that's wrong? Like there's no way she ordered

(01:00:09):
the lasagna and said no utensils. She just drank a
bucket of sauce. She was eating meatballs like they were apples. Okay,
now I can now I can relate to her um,
but yeah, I mean her stylist. The main care Emily
stylist is the star of the show. Like whoever is

(01:00:30):
dressing dressing that character does it? Yeah, it's she looks great,
the everything looks great. Like the character UH is a
little bit simplistic in her interaction with French culture, like
people are like the French hate it and for good reason.
Like she acts like she's never had a croissant before

(01:00:52):
or even heard of a croissant. Like there's this moment
where she takes a bite of a croissant and then
is like wa and like UH posts on social media
butter plus chocolate equals heart and it's like yeah, that's
like people who traveled to Paris as brand like managers

(01:01:12):
probably have heard of croissants from Uh. And like she
tells her boyfriend like what are you talking about? You
can come visit me and just go to the louver
during the day and it's like alright, so like's like
we've got that shut down for filming. Also, whose version
of Paris is this? Like this is just like the

(01:01:34):
somebody who took a tour of Paris via a postcard stand. Um,
this was like me when I was like eleven and
my parents like we got to go to Paris and
my parents were like, let's see everything touristy possible, but
in the least romantic way as an Indian family in
Paris fighting a top of the Eiffel Tower. The side characters, though,

(01:01:59):
like the friend, the Parisian characters hate her just as
much as you would expect them to, based on like
how clueless she is and the fact that she's going
to friends and doesn't speak French. They're like, that's arrogant,
and it is, and like she is an arrogant American
And I don't know. I saw an article lamenting that
people are like hate watching this terrible show instead of

(01:02:22):
watching good TV. Um, like this is some one off
Hallmark movie that we're all just like watching to hate it.
But this is the Tiger King of the third trimester
of Quarantine, right, But it's you don't. First of all,
you don't get to police like what type of culture
people enjoy just based on your like bougieliberal arts sensibility.

(01:02:44):
But also like this is this is the sort of
ship that has been succeeding on TV for ever, like
for thirty years by this exact same writer and producer. Uh.
And also like I don't think everyone is hate watching
I think a lot of people are enjoying its. Yeah,
it's escapism and it's silly and light and but that's

(01:03:08):
how you know that's the genius of this is like
you have some dude who's probably just rich beyond most
people's comprehension, writing a show about a normal person and
like creating weird class solidarity or like the idea, like
a solidarity with this ideal lifestyle or something. But the
pit your point is like it doesn't like when you
see that, It's like this genre in a way may

(01:03:30):
also begin to like hollow itself out because as the
reality of what our possibilities are seem a little more bleak,
seeing ship like this is like almost like you'll get
the ship off my fucking screen, Like you're tired of it?
I get like I wouldn't get tired of it if
we had more parasites, you know what I mean. I
was like if this was like, yeah, if there was

(01:03:52):
some bound I want to see, Like people are like,
you don't want to see like sad ship and it's
like we're this is sad to me because just reminds
me of everything else. So like straight to the point,
if I was white, if this was you, I don't know.
But it's kind of like Bollywood movies to like the

(01:04:14):
reason that they cut to like the Alps or whatever
and are dancing, and it is for escapism. It's like
for the little amount that like people in India like
would pay to go to the movies and like rural
areas or whatever, they'd have like these giant like projectors
or whatever of movies and stuff and like uh not
in the cities and they would show like the Alps.
And that's how like people would see the Alps. Right,

(01:04:34):
So it's like that, but it's like like knowing, like
just fucking knowing that that money could go elsewhere during
a pant you know what I mean, Like like I'm
just like I obviously there's this escapism that we all
need and we all want and that's why we watch
all these things. And you know, like people watched Gossip
Girl and we're like fully into it, and I'm like

(01:04:54):
none of it, Like my friends were fully into it.
I was like, you would be friends with none of
these people. But it's like we love seeing that ship.
But also simultaneously, it's like sometimes I'm just like just
inject the poverty into my veins because I just want
to see what the funk the other people are doing
with while these people are in parents you know, I
don't know, um, just a couple like things that should

(01:05:16):
probably be pointed out. Darren Stars fifty nine. The character
Emily is like a social media coordinator and like, not,
yeah that it's about what you would expect. It's like,
this is how like they ran Quimby. Yes, yeah, it's
got some Quimby quimbiness going on. There is our memes

(01:05:36):
part of the plot at all. Yes, got some boomerangs,
You've got some memes. She gets retweeted by Macrone's wife
at one point. That's a big key and I'm kidding,
it's fun. Not They also didn't get the real social

(01:05:57):
media brands. They got like the other brand ends, but
they didn't twater and when she googles something, it's just
search in Google lettering. Um. But uh yeah, overall that's funny.
They could afford that plot, but they can't afford those, right,

(01:06:18):
Like she I think he heard the whole like she Uh,
Sarah Jessica Parker's character and Sex in the City had
like two nice a an apartment because her apartment in
this like is always having problems and it's like a
sixth floor walk up and uh, it's not like the
nicest thing. And also she's like working for a high

(01:06:39):
end brand firm. But then like her outfit would require
generational wealth and her like the fact that she has
that does not come up at all really anyways, five
like it would be wouldn't it be fun if, like
now from any from any movie or like show, at
the beginning, we're just like show us your tax return

(01:07:01):
and then and then we're like, okay, we'll get into
the character after this. Okay, yeah, right, I need to
know what's the struggle, Like I want to see the
tax credits at the beginning and the regular credits at
the end. You know, Paul V. It's been a pleasure
having you on the daily Zeitgeist as always, Where can

don't know, they're just like very real. And he did
one and he put my name in it and it
made me almost cry because I never seen my name

it's a he does like Dino comics and they're very cute.
