My grandmother would always make sure that I'm making cookies

little comic but one page comic about what happens if
the plane crashes, and then you got a puke bag.
And now they're just like they're cocky, they're calling their shots.
They're like, this is gonna be a smooth flight. Nobody's
gonna need to throw up.

to throw off the plane drunk man, but he's sick.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Brian by him right, Hell, yeah, what's up? Do you
want to come out as saying? Oatmeal raising kerkies are
the closest thing we have to dog treats as humans
like you. It tastes like what a dog would love.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It's great. I love oatmeal, like I'll eat oatmeal like, yeah,
I was raised on oatmeal for breakfast, so it's not
I don't like them, and I'll even eat raisin. But
like together, this is not a treat and oatmeal is
not a treat. Yeah, oatmeal is just my realna.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Lie.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Really, what are you putting in that ship? I'll put
like chocolate milky ship in there.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You put chocolate milk in your oatmeal.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
It is the perfect foundation for anything sweet. Like if
anything else there you can. I put like peanut butter
in there.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sometimes, you guys, I need to step my own go
with ital was my oatmeal was like a thing that
a doctor once told me I had to eat because
my cholesterol was too high. I have, like, you know,
hereditarily high cholesterol and it works, but I just like
always associated it with being like a fucking steak. I
(07:05):
was down there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
My dad would be instant oatmeal with boiling water and
then to cool it off a splash of milk, and
so I was raised on the splash of milk to
cool off the oatmeal, and then that escalated. I said,
want to put some chocolate, I want to put some
eggnogg in here, some other ship and it all goes.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I will say that my favorite cookie is the white
chocolate chip macadamia from.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
From somewhere you went specific reason those are so good?
Are goaded? Yeah, although I'm not going to eat that
foot long one that they're trying to push. I'm like, bro,
just keep it regular. I don't need a cookie.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yes, there's a long. Every long is our brand. We're
doing foot long nachos now doritos nachos its.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, it's really bad. Any thoughts on what the end
of April should be. If, like, if April first is
April Fools, I felt like I saw you maybe winding
up to chime in there when we were talking about it.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
In case I was maybe April. I think you're on
the right track with honesty, right, maybe April April cools. Oh,
it's kind of cool. You're so cool, you're just brutally honest.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh, a little April Fools is a little weird. Al
it's like not trying to be cool. It's just like
a little nerdy. It's a little like.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's a little like doey oi if yah, Like.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
We're wearing Hawaiian shirts.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, like that, we're.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Acting like it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
April April Cools is just like a day where you
get to be cool as fucking like, tell people the truth.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're Yeah, you're smoking a filterless Newport because you rip
the filter off because you're animal like that. And then
you're looking at the dude, I could totally I definitely
know why your parents got divorced. Yeah, exactly, they were
wrong to you. All right, Ryan, We're thrilled to have you.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better.
In a moment.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
First, a couple of stories that we're talking about. There
was a good idea proposed by Amazon that I could
see them doing and other companies following, except they got
yelled at by Trump and so now they're not doing
it anymore because authoritarianism works.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
What's selling Nazi merchandise?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, so they already do that. Oh okay, it's to
put the amount that your price went up based on
the tariffs, like on the price, so you should so
you know what, and why wouldn't they like we're that way.
They're not catching shit for like the price going up,
(09:45):
and they're not you know, they're not chaining then, so
like they just anyways, it's a good idea, and one
angry phone call from Donald Trump to Jeff Bezos and
that idea is over. I do hope like other companies
that aren't run by tech all guards who are trying
to be best friends with Donald Trump might might pick
us up. But real good kind of window into how
(10:07):
things work that we'll look at, as well as just
like what what's going on in the White House. It
seems like it's just a lot of coddling, a lot
of codling of a.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yeah, where's I have a question. Yeah, I don't know
if you guys want to answer this.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
We are money to the podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Do your cariffs go to the government? No, where do
they use the tariffs go to the extra money that
it's being paid.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I guess they do go to the government, right, Oh
in terms of who's paying the yes, yes, yes, you
don't getting the money that is that's collected by that's
collected by customs.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Which is part of the government. Yes, yes, yes, and then.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Customs is going to come rolling next time I go through.
Customs are all gonna be wearing like four chains exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Customs just all of a sudden, like super expensive sunglasses on.
They have like people handling their ship for them.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, it basically I think what they Customs collects it,
but then it goes to like a thing the treasure.
It ultimately like the treasury.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, and then that gets redistributed to all of us.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Right, No, no, that goes well, I mean, sure, Jack, whichever,
which version do you want me to tell you about it?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Version? Tell me appy it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's they are drinking our collective fucking milkshake right now.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
With that, they just go, yeah, thank you all up
here now yeah, sounding like that milkshake was going up
your nose. Man, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Hey man, Look so how I get down, man, And.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
We'll talk about the debate that is once again raging
on the internet. One hundred man versus one gorilla. It's
an old debate, but all of a sudden, it was like,
I don't know, it was like someone you know, when
like a big news event happens and you check Twitter
and it's just like ten straight tweets that are all
(12:06):
about the same thing. That's what I got yesterday from
this old like Reddit post. Like suddenly, just like.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh so people, I saw like a black Twitter post
about one hundred guys fighting one gorilla over the weekend,
and I thought maybe it was that. But also the Internet,
everything happened in cycles.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So yeah, yeah, well it's just an old debate, but
it like this old idea flared up over the weekend
and now we are. Everybody was talking about it, so
we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Thoughts has not changed, My thoughts will never change.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
We don't write the zeitgeist. We just report on it, folks.
So we'll talk about that all of that plenty more.
But first, Brian Bahi, we do like to ask our guest,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Who you are?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
My search history lately, I've been I've been going down
this rabbit hole of TikTok's giving me a lot of
sports content lately, and I'm seeing a lot of edits
of like basketball players from like the nineties, and so
I was looking up Jordan Ones. I'm in the market
for some Jordan on wo as somebody who who has
(13:15):
almost no familiarity with the game of basketball, or weeks
only just from two weeks of watching clips on TikTok
am I now attempting to make this my entire identity.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
This feels like exactly why brands love social media, Like
this comedian we've got fuck all about basketball trying to
buy ones. Now look what we did with the algorithm. Wait,
so what happened? What exactly got piqued your interest about
the Jordan WANs from these videos? Like you just kept
seeing the shoe over and over and you're like.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
No, I'm just like trying. I'm like, what's like because
I feel like lately the sports content has been kind
of it's been hitting a home run in a way.
There's the Woman's College Playoffs was huge for me. There
was the PGA.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
PGA was huge for YouTube. That was a huge, huge,
yes putting.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
For some reason, I was like getting a lot of
it and I was like, this is really like heartwarming
to me. And then somehow out of that I like
went down. I think it's because of the the women's
college I've just like slowly like more basketball stuff just
giving to me and I'm eating it up. I'm just
watching it, you know. There there it's almost like watching
(14:37):
skateboarding videos in a way where it's like it's like
fun music is being.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Over all these something.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Okay, I'm like, wait, that's that's really that speaks.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
To me, right, Yeah, and then now Jordan One's now
you're in the market for Jordan one in the market.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I mean you were watching some old ship if you
saw somebody playing basketball and Jordan One's right, I don't
think NBA heard Yeah, the Converse All Stars back when
the NBA was a race war. Yes, Oh you're not
in the right So it's srubreddits if you don't think
it is. Still I was just like watching I guess
(15:16):
it was a podcast. It's like one of those things
that's basically just like a YouTube channel where like people
talk and like it was like a twenty minute clip
of a guy just naming all the top scorers by
white guys in NBA history by season.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
For It's like, what the fuck, what a weird what
a weird rain man trait to happen? I know, like
white supremacist sports rain man. Yeah, I only know the
white guys.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Googliata man, there's a name you don't hear very often anyway. Yeah,
Tom googli Otta was on.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
There nineties because that name sounds very familiar.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, it was the nineties. Yeah, what is bringing this about? Bro?
You just the sports content entered your feet and you
started fucking with it? Or is there like I think,
are you hanging out like a bunch of sportos now, yeah,
hanging out at the fort side.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Wild Wings, yeahs and Hooters.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I think it's also just like the this like hashtag
like Hope Core of it all.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Like oh, so you're like, oh, you're seeing Hope core.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Sports at Hope Core.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Okay, the best of the best for some reason.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Uh, that's where I am mentally right now, that makes sense?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
We all, I thought you because like the agro straight
guy versions I see on TikTok are the ones that
start off with like heavily edited Brazilian biley funk songs.
It's like.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And it's like Boom.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Dunking a bunch, and I'm like, yeah, Alan dunking a bunch,
Like that's just weird. It's just like weird.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Al was a problem. You guys don't never realize it,
like you.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Like, it feels like just AI is making remember something
where like yo, check out yea three point shooting.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
By the way, we gotta If you listen to Doctor
Carrie Mcinernie's episode yesterday, she followed she hit us and
followed up with like a couple of articles about AI
and like what it's going, what they're trying to do
to us to like our free will. There's like a
intention market where they're like, anyways, well we will have
(17:27):
on that story coming soon. But it's terrifying. All right, Well,
Jordan want's a classic shoe.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
What size you guys have him? I got a pair.
I got a pair. Yeah, I had a pair, but
then they burned in the fire and then a comedian
shout out Ian Carmel, he gave me a pair of
Jordan One's the Shadow, the Great Shadow Ones, Gray Black. Yeah, yeah,
the Great Black was nice.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, they're very narrow. If you have wide feet, I would,
I would, I would advise to size up.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
I actually do have narrow feet.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Oh then you are found your ship. You're gonna love.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I'm kind of like Jordan's like that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Narrow feet. Yeah, sure, terrible gambling problem. I like they're
very versatile to the Jordan Ones. Well, now they're just
they're so that silhouette is just so timeless. Now it's
just like sneaker shape.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah. Like all those what's that one shoe that you
can buy that looks like it's been beat to ship
and it costs like five hundred.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Dollars Golden Goose.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah yeah, like those are all basically like their high
tops all look like Jordan Ones.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I feel like, yeah, the Blazers, it's all Yeah, is
the biggest red flag I've ever seen on a human being.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeahbody's wearing that.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I'm like, I'm crossing the street.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It's so weird to like cosplay, like I'm living in
these like these clothing items to buy like pre distressed things.
I'm just like, yeah, no, I've got plenty of distress
to go around.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know, I don't need you doing the better.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Be like Matt Damon at the end of Private Ryan and.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Earn this, earn this Golden Goose. What is something you
think is underrated? Brian?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
So I'm watching the Pit. I'm kind of really into
the pit. Shout out emergency rooms, Yeah, shout out Ivy drips.
And it's like it's reminding me that, like I feel
like we've spent so much time in media, like really
kind of loving the anti hero and somebody that's just
(19:32):
like digging themselves in this hole and then trying to
get out of the hole. Yeah, like I forgot there's
like really cool stories about people that are actually like
doing well and trying to do Yeah for people, this
is actually what's up?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Wait, so, like, what what drug problems does this doctor have?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
There's no drug he needs that he actually he actually
just helped too many people during COVID.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, I need at least a light drug problem. He
needs to be doing it while drunk has ended.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I think it has, but I haven't finished it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, it really connected like every way. Yeah, Yeah, there's
a preview for it, like a fifteen second teaser that
like played before something I was watching on Max where
he's like going to take a piss in the bathroom
and somebody's like there's an emergency and he has to
like stop himself from pissing to like go deal with
the emergency. That's That's that dedication that stressed me out. Man.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's someone you can sign up to fight a gorilla
with you And.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, that's right if you can start there just ten
of them. I feel like the whole the gorilla question
really comes down to whether you're able to do the
thing that we love seeing an action movie's and assemble
a team, you know, like do you get to go out?
Because the original question was like no, it's just a
random group of a hundred. But I think if we
(20:59):
can select our team, we might have a chance.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I will clone Lawrence Taylor on Crack. Lawrence Taylor is
the first fifty I need, Laurence what I'm thinking Lawrence
and waylor wait football coach and the primatologist. Those are
three the three things that I'm able to assemble the team.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, those are the three first picks you need.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I would pick ten people with you know, those grip strength, things. Yea,
how strong a grip is. I think that's really what's key,
because grill is going to try to fling you off.
If your grip is strong, you're gonna hang on.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Okay, So like people who do like rock climbing, they
have sane grip strength. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you're.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
So good and like the running the approach, like if
they're like this, I mean, guys, this is why this
is why.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, maybe I'm back, damn it. Maybe I'm back about
it just a little bit harder.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Brian, what is some what do you think is overrated? Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah, so that that my pit thing was anti heroes.
I think they're overrated. We're done with it. Leave that
ship in when we weren't in the Age of Aquarius.
Because we are in the Age of Aquarius. It's currently
as of a few months ago.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
That's great news for me.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Is that good?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's from hair, It's great.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
It's when all the it's like historically, I don't know
anything about what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Historically it's when like huge like revolutions and shit happened.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
All right, Oh hell yeah, I think we kind of
need that right now, guys.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Low key, I think we need that right now. All right?
So that was your under overted? Underrated?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Is the pit?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Overrated? Is he anti heroes?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
No? Underrated?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Was uh? Fuck?
Speaker 5 (22:52):
I actually forget what I just said.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
No did you say the pit?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
No? The pit was me leading into anti heroes? I
think anti overrated and underrated? Is something else?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Is the pit? Wait?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Oh oh wait I this processed food?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh that's okay, So let's do that. Okay, okay, So
I think we flipped your overrated and underrated? What what's
something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Processed?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Which one? What kind? What's the most underrated process food?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I think like cheese, processed cheese, American cheese.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, I'm just kind of like over it's like one, yeah,
American just oil and water in the shape of it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I fucking I am fully in agreement that I love
American cheese. Like the melt the melting point on that
ship is so crucial, Like, yes, I guess, and I
was made in a lab.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I used to rake my teeth over the edges of
the plastic to make sure I was getting all that
cheese off when I was a kid, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Like, like what's behind stays watching at like room temp.
It's like melts at room temp is a wild is
a wild quality for a substance to have.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Watching the craft singles get squirted into the plastic and
then the plastic kind of adhering it around it is
pretty fascinating.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Poetry. Poetry.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, that's the hope core edit that I should be watching.
I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I mean we shouldn't be surprised that processed food as
you're underrated because you said that your favorite cookie is
white chocolate macadamia nut cookies from somewhere. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
They're always moist.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
They are.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They are, and you know why because they are sprayed
down with chemicals that aren't available to anybody except No Fortune,
five hundred corporations and the US military.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Brian just he trusts the process. That's right.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
You gotta trust the process. I think we need to
stop having trying to have so much control over everything.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's trust the process and right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Control works in the short term. Long term, it's a
bad strategy. It's gonna it's gonna fuck you up trying
to control everything just to let it go. Eat the
fucking processed food.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Trust the process.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Trust the process, and we we know how well that
worked out for the seventy six ers, so it'll probably
work out for all of us as well.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's my basketball team, bro, you need a hope core
sixers at it? Man, really, I do not.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'm going over here.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm dead man.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I need to think about that ship for a little while. Yeah,
all right, great to have you back, Brian. We're gonna
take a quick break. We're gonna come back. We're gonna
talk about some of this news. You heard about this
stuff the news. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And we're back and.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah. So corporation, one of the big corporations, stumbled on
an idea, yeah, that I think would have served both
them and consumers. I think, you know, it would have
like enlightened consumers a little bit. The idea is to
put the cost that the tariffs were costing the amount
(26:22):
of the tariffs were costing people onto each item. So
the thing that used to be seven dollars is now
thirteen dollars. They just say the tariff surcharge is six dollars,
and people understand, well, I guess that wasn't Amazon's fault
that everything's more expensive.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's just their fault that they're passing it on to us.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It is their fault that they're passing around. I mean,
so that's what Trump was like, Well, a big corporation
like that, like can't afford the six dollars, And it's like, no,
that's not how these fucking things work. What are you crazy?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Actually, the publicly traded company, Yeah, certainly not gonna be
like yeah, and we will just we will stomach that
and just dwindle away in our revenue. That's because that's
how American companies think.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
But anyways, they were thinking about doing that, and then
they got a call from Daddy, and Donald Trump got
mad and called them, and they immediately backtracked and pretended
Stalin style. Not only do they are they like, no,
we're not going to do that anymore. They're like, that
never happened. We were never considering doing that.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Who told you that they're probably all fucked up on
drugs or something, because that was ever going to happen.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The person who says that disappears from all pictures past
and future just cut it out of it.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Was that Hunter was that sounds like something Hunter would say.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Right, But yeah, like this and see it, and they're saying,
quote Trump called Bezos to complain about reports that Amazon
was considering displaying the cost of US tariffs next to
prices for certain products on the website. The call came
shortly after one of the senior officials phoned the President
to inform him of the story quote. Of course, he
was pissed. One of the officials, who was granted anonymity
(28:02):
to speak, candidly told CNN, why should a multi why
should a multi billion dollar company pass off cost to consumers?
Good course of all, good question. I'm like, really, you're
really never been to America before, that's the thing you're
saying out loud and then out a briefing today, White
House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called the move quote a
hostile and political act, adding that she had spoken about
(28:22):
the matter with President Trump earlier.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Really, yeah, it sounds like a kind of do you
think someone actually in the White House saying why should
a multi billion dollar company pass off cost to consumers?
The multi billion dollar companies should be absorbing those costs
to keep prices low. That's completely against the philosophical mission
of all corporations in America.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I mean, I agree, yeah, yeah, it's just wildly unrealistic.
That they're not going to pass it on.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's something Elizabeth Warren says right out loud, you know,
Elizabeth Warren, but like out of the White House again,
because I think all that, for all of this, the
thing that they just aren't saying out loud is why
are you showing the cost of it to make us
look bad for the dumbest fucking economic policy. People have
seen this the last few centuries, maybe since the tulip
(29:12):
fucking the.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Tulip panic, Yeah, the tulip panic, Like what the fuck
are y'all talking about tulipmania? Yes, yes, of course tulipmania, Tumania.
Many people are saying this is the best idea since Tulipmania.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
It's also frustrating to me because it's truly unimaginable for
me that a Democratic president would be able to get
a corporation to stop what they're doing by yelling at them,
but also that they would even try, you know, because
they are the party of the corporations, where they think
these are their friends.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I feel like, well, see the Republicans used to but
in pursuit of like total like a total white ethno state,
like they have to now be like sorry, y'all like
you have to do everything we say. Now, that's that's
just sort of the game at this point. But yeah,
there's no way. Yeah. I mean, look, Biden could have
said something when it was clear that quote unquote inflation.
(30:09):
So much of that was just corporate greed because they
were just charging more because they knew they could. But yeah,
I think the most you did it was like they
got it, they got it, they gotta knock that off.
Was like kind of like the energy we got from
the White House.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Then, I mean, Harris came out and was like, this
is gonna be a big part of my campaign is
that like the reason that things inflation was happening. And
then she got shouted down externally like in the papers
by you know, economists and quote, and then also internally
because like one of Doug's brothers or something. I forget
(30:43):
who it was, but it was like someone who's like
close to her, not because of like being associated because
of their job, but because of like a familial or
like friend connection was like on the board at uber
or something, you know, like someone influential in the world
of it's her brother in law. It was her brother
(31:03):
in law, brother in law came at her and was like,
this is a bad look for you. This is not
Wall Street approved, because that was the New York Times
headline was Harris had a Wall Street approved economic pitch.
Yes exactly, she.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Are, Okay, wait, so are the terriffs set up? I
feel like I'm the six year old in this.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
If you're six five.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And the terror set up to like make all just
like manufacturing ship American based.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
And that's like the very abstract idea, but in practice
it's it's going to take years to get any kind
of semblance of manufacturing at levels that could be like, well,
now everything is American made, it's going to take And
also the cost there's the cost of labor is still
high in the United States, so everywhere that's not changing
(31:59):
anything for sure unless we have a total sea change
of like what we pay people. So because we pay
the people who work in factories enough that they can
even pay the prices that's justified by the cost of labor,
it's all very like it they're just selling a fever
dream because most people will just stop thinking at the well, yeah, man,
because then we're gonna start building stuff here, and then
(32:19):
we're gonna get jobs. And and everything is gonna start
and it's like that's that ship has set sail.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
It's yeah, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, And now American consumers are way too reliant on
very cheap goods that you're there. It's cheap because the
places that they're exploiting, the people's labor to make this
ship is cheap. It is not cheap to do that
here because they will all a just won't pay people
living wages. And if they like again, for all of
that to happen, so many things have to also go
(32:48):
up to make everything be like, oh well, I can't
afford this new American made thing because my wages have
gone up three times.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Exactly Like if they want to, if that's what they want,
they need to also do take the steps to make
it realistic for so many other Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, because this this is like even this is just
again I think that's where like people sort of thinking
sort of ends. And now we're at this place now
where a lot of people are using like the Wiley
coyote off the cliff meme because shipping from China has
basically cratered and they're like now see this like pause
and stuff like of goods that were coming out of
(33:24):
the hose. Wait till we get to that air gap
in the hose and nothing's coming out anymore. And that's
when there's a lot there's gonna be a lot of
chaos at least for like, you know, the kinds of
consumer goods that we have important.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Toilet paper shortage will apply to other things, like this
is paper shortage from the early pandemic. You're going to
see that in many different places.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, for just like the things that you weren't counting.
It's like, oh, like cheap toys for kids or things
like that, like all that kind of stuff, and I
can do without those.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Jesus Chris.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
That you get this pretty after two seconds. For kind
of the action movie industry, because I feel like a
lot of kind of the act threes in your Fashion
and Furious Is or something, they all take place in
like those big metal shipping containers, and we're not using
those anymore. Then the audience is gonna be like, this
isn't realistic?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah exactly. Yeah. So it's among many unpopular ideas that
the Trump administration is pursued full blast, and I think
a lot of people have assumed, like slash hoped that, well,
this is like he Trump's a maverick. He's like a
(34:36):
He's a capitalist. He knows what he's doing. And the
reason he's pursuing these is because even though he knows
they're wildly unpopular, he had he has a gun instinct
and he's just gonna he's gonna ride with it. And
we're also seeing reporting that that's not true. He actually
doesn't realize they're unpopular. He is like a celebrity who's
(34:59):
been surrounded but it's like the celebrityary Katy Perry, yeah,
or like a comedian who gets like too famous and
then like they're the album two albums after they have
like a house that with like twenty people who work
for them at it, you know, and then like they
come out and here was like wait, what this person
(35:20):
seems like they're on a different planet than me. Like that. Yeah,
Katy Perry, I guess.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Disease blissfully unaware of what's happening around him, because like
the Amazon story, along with the ones about the polls
and Trump's reaction to them, like the latest pot night
in the last polls we talked about on the show,
like the latest ones that came out over the weekend
in Earli this week again paints this picture of people
(35:45):
managing his moods to keep things going, and it like
again that whole thing about like what what the what?
What's a multi Why isn't a multi billion dollar corporation
able to stomach that stuff? They're trying to make this
look bad. Sounds like a thing someone says to Donald
Trump about like why everything is fucked up?
Speaker 2 (36:00):
And he's right, yeah, then they can afford it. Yeah, yeah,
Bazos can afford it. Do that.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Okay, America can afford to give people health care. And okay, so,
oh so we don't always believe if you can afford it,
you should do it. So then shut the fuck up. So,
like the latest polls right the Times is Trump's approval
rating at forty two percent. The Washington Post has him
at thirty nine percent. Trump just got on truth social
and saying stuff like these fake news polls from fake
(36:30):
news organizations. He said, these organizations are sick and the
enemy of the people. And he's like the famous Pollar
pollster John McLaughlin. He's even says these are fake polls
and then also not mentioning he's like this is a
guy I hired to do Bypoles this quote unquote famous
polster mad at Fox and again this is just shock
(36:52):
like this shock over These numbers are based on living
in an echo chamber where staff are telling him how
much he is killing it, and we know how much
he watches press briefings, and like the way Caroline Levitt talks,
it's clearly to please the audience of Trump. And I
think this what the Republicans are doing, especially with Project
twenty twenty five. They have to destroy a lot of
(37:13):
these norms in order to get their agenda through in
the way they see it, you know, happening in their dreams.
So the best way to get unpopular policies backed by
the President is to obscure how unpopular they are and
even straight up lie and tell him that people fucking
love shit like Doge or the tariffs, or that they
are not illegal like this shit he's doing with trafficking,
(37:35):
disappearing immigrants or canceling visas for kids who exercise their
right to free speech.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
You're the man king, He's in his like fat Elvis
stage right now, right. I feel like, you know, just like,
oh man, that was hilarious. Tiny Elvis nineties.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
That was so sick when you roundhouse kicked that mannequin.
President Trump cool, like, okay, but I mean you look
at this. One quote right from this is from an
interview a couple of weeks ago, when Time interviewed Trump.
This is very telling. This is from Time. Quote the
Supreme Court ruled that. This is them asking about kill
mar Abrego Garcia. This is the person asking Trump the
(38:16):
Supreme Court ruled that you have to bring kill mar
Abrego Garcia back. Aren't you disobeying the Supreme Court? Trump responded, quote,
That's not what my people told me. They say that
this Nino decision was something very different and actually was
something in my favor.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Which, like we saw that and we assumed that that
was they were joking, right, Like we saw him say,
oh like that. Somebody asked him about the Supreme Court
and he was like that that was for us, right,
and they were like, yeah, yeah, boss, that's for us,
And then everybody kind of laughed, Like I didn't think
(38:51):
that he actually believed that this Nino decision that went
against him was actually for him.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
That's like a startling lack of content with reality.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
It is if your brain is the consistency of Nickelodeon
floam from the early nineties, and you are so senile
that truly you just the repetition of a sentence will
then become your reality. That's like what this totally is.
Because he's even like what illegal, No, that's not He
always says a thing is like not, My people told
(39:23):
me that that's that's not the case, when it's like,
oh are they? They're telling you this. This makes sense.
Not to excuse anything what Trump's doing, but I think
it just shows his mental state, and these people are
basically realizing, Okay, we can get him to do really
unpopular shit if we lie about it, and then when
the shit hits the fan freak out and then dial
back things like the tariffs or him softening his stance
(39:46):
on China or whatever. But yeah, it's a coddling old
man day every.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
Day inside of manifesting in a way.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, I mean that the only people who are allowed
to manifest are these like massive CEOs and like the
people who have just like lucked them their way into
being like the one in a million who like actually
succeed all the way in capitalism, and then they become
surrounded by a bunch of people who are just managing them,
(40:14):
you know, and just like trying, like trying to create
whatever they think that person.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Wants to see.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
It's like the whole world of celebrity. It's the whole
world of like the people who are like billionaires are
have not been anywhere in the realm of reality for
you know, since they hit a billion dollars, you know. Yeah,
And he's like all of those things combined. He's a celebrity, billionaire, CEO, president,
(40:42):
and like he's just so insulated.
Speaker 5 (40:45):
He's like the Gecko Geico in a way. He's kind
of just like.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Hmm, go on in many ways, fake accent even no,
but it is like what you're saying, Jack, it's the same.
It's like having a terrible entourage a celebrity. Like at
a certain point, all those people you hire, they realize
they have to keep the money hose on for their
like for like their livelihoods too, and they're like, yeah,
(41:09):
take that gig, Yeah, do this, do this, because I
need you to be working for me to get a check,
so like we'll fucking do whatever. And unfortunately, like you're saying,
it's now all kind of coming together in the form
of a presidency.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Like as Brian pointed out, like the Geico Gecko, like
the the number one celebrity who's like around the poisonous
on trot, like the Geico Geckos, like a massive coke
problem that like I mean, that's been document.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
I don't know if we should justin maybe let's cut that.
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I don't want to like with you know, we we care,
like it's he gets.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
He's so very well connected and like you know, the
dark underbelly of.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
Yeah Salamander or society.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
He said, Ducks disappeared just for you know, looking like
the affleck do. But he is, as Gilbert Godfrey, what happened?
It's just like, oh you thought those are natural clues.
I yeah, we hope he gets the help he needs,
but like with the entourage around him that he has,
(42:20):
like you know, it's just a bunch of people paid
to get him to the next commercial gig and like
keep him from flipping out.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
But think about, like at his coke think about like
if you I don't know, this is like a weird example,
but like if your grandparents are like babysitting you and
your bunch of friends and like, dude, my grandpa's fucking
out of it. Dude, he will drive us to buy fireworks.
They tell him they're legal and actually you can play
with them at thirteen years old and not eighteen.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Watch.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yeah, dude, grandpa, can you take us to get fireworks?
I thought that you're too young. No, they just changed
the law that you can actually be nine years old
and handle fireworks. Oh okay, can we go? Sure? Like
that's the same thing. It's like, can we like disappear
a bunch of immigrants right now? And I don't know
if Trump's first reaction is like, that's unconscionable, but they're
(43:07):
gonna be like it's people are gonna fucking love it.
And then he's like, oh, well they're gonna love it sure,
And I'm not. I don't. I don't have enough critical
thinking skills to really do anything else. And it aligns
with my slight desire to, you know, mistreat people of color.
So yeah, let's go fire cloud of power that like
has no center to it, and everyone else trying to like, yeah,
(43:27):
it's like a vape cloud that they're just trying to
push in one direction.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I mean vape vape clouds are cool compared to it.
That's true. Yeah, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back to talk about what's on everybody's mind,
the debate over one one hundred person one gorilla. We'll
be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
I do just at the the Floam reference smiles. I
don't want that to go by without being remarked on.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
It's okay, Like I said, check my bio encyclopedic knowledge
of the nineties.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
Is that the one that would like that would almost
like crack when you molded it.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah, it was like a bunch of little beads almost
like held together.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
It was really what if.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Rice Krispy Treats was toy you know what if Rice
Krispy Treats gave you bowel problems, if you even touched
your mouth after handling it. It's if you ate them.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
They were in your body for the rest of your
life and also your children's lives somehow your progeny.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Also.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
Now every third person is like gooning to as Mr
Shit and we have we have Floam to thank for that.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
I know, right exactly. We were just out here just
trying to figure it out on our own with Nickelodeon Floam.
I gave it the full brand name because I felt
like people would forget if I didn't properly say Nickelodeon Floam.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Nickelodeon Floam, a larger and larger part of their body
is just made out of floam, like instead of a
left knee. I have flown down there. I can just
mold it and remold it as I walk. Anyways, old debate,
and this is not this is not the story that
I thought I was going to be talking about today.
And yet, like I said, we report on the zeitgeist,
(45:17):
we don't make it. Yesterday I had the experience of
checking social media and it just being wall to wall
one hundred men versus one gorilla, you know, commentary videos,
and so this is an old debate. I mean this
sort of debate.
Speaker 5 (45:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
There was one of my favorite articles from the early
days of Cracked, like two thousand and eight Cracked, I think,
was by this writer Chris Buckles, that was just like
how to fight twenty children like as one person, And
it was just like really well thought out and good
advice that i've that has shaped me as a person.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
Used.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, yeah, I'll link off to that as my work
in media. But it is kind of one of those
questions like once you start thinking about it, it's kind
of hard to stop. I will say, the original question,
as originally posed on Reddit five years ago, I think
has a fairly simple answer because they really stacked the
(46:19):
deck against the humans. Oh yeah, yeah. The original question
was like, all right, first round, you can only go
two at a two men at a time, yeah, and
they're in a grilla exhibit. The second one is in
a construction as at a construction site, and you can
go ten at a time. They also say that it
(46:40):
just has to be like one hundred average people. And
then the third one, I guess you can go all
at once, but you're not going to have many people
left after those first two rounds to go all at once,
which is like really your only hope.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
I think all of the sort of modifiers are meaningless
because really the question is how can what just in
a in a fair one? Okay, no tools, no weapons,
not because this guy is basically bringing up like rainbow
road type ship where like the headrilla fall off the
edge or some ship. No, what is it going to
(47:14):
take for one hundred human beings? To beat the fuck
out of a gorilla.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yeah, like a cage match or something like that.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Yeah, you know, yeah, And my first reaction is it's
not happening. It's not happening. Ever, my big thing with
all of this is human beings don't have like fangs.
They cannot draw blood. So you're you're you're counting on
purely overpowering a gorilla. I mean, we do have thangs, moms,
but can you okay, can you can you draw blood
(47:44):
from a through that gorilla's fur?
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Probably if I had to, if he stayed still, if
he stayed still, if I hit the finger real hard
like Charlie, yeah, I probably could. I can bite through
a lot I got.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
But I'm just saying that's how I see a gorilla somehow,
like if it fought a tiger's because the tiger slashes
the gorilla and is like it's leaking in a straight
up hold the gorilla. Fucking hundred people aren't doing that.
The first guy that gets ripped in fucking half by
this thing, all people are gonna go, h no, right,
(48:21):
you need all these other things that I think you need.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
I think first of all, we need to we need
a draft, like and not not a like military's where
we're going by birthday. I think we need to mcgoover's style,
get to put together a team mcgroov of the film,
not the SNL sketch, Oh thank you, which the film,
the film sketch. The sketch is a completely different thing.
(48:46):
The film is a work of art. The you know,
I think we need to be able to intentionally assemble
a team. I think there needs to be some sort
of a squid Game style motivation that is going to
prevent what you're talking about where they see a person
get ripped in half and everybody's like, this is not
worth it. It needs to be worth Like it needs
(49:08):
to be one hundred men and the grill are in
the cage and like it's not over until.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
It would be sick in squid Game, like in the
actual like a new season of squid Game, Like when
there's like four hundred people left, it's like all four
hundred y'all versus gorilla right now, right, Yeah, a lot
of y'all are going to die, a lot of y'all
going to die. But four hundred four hundred feels like maybe.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Four hundred, So how are you? I don't even know
what hundred is different than one hundred other than like, I.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Feel like a gorilla killing three hundred people with its
bare hands may tire the gorilla out get tired, and
then the other ones are just like coming up and
like kind of yeah, I feel like that would probably be.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
True after like fifty right, like that, that's a lot
of people to kill.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
I could see that. I almost think now, I think
you could almost it can be. It can almost be
a random assortment of one hundred people. It doesn't they don't.
You don't even need to do a draft. You just
need a coach that's like like a maestro, Yes, a
maestro who's running plays and basically the goal of every
(50:16):
play is somebody goes for the eyes. I think once
you get the eyes.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Brian, Okay, that is right, it's gotta be the eyes.
Although all right, so this is what I'm saying, you
gotta be the eyes. Like that convinced me in a
split second. At first, I was like, we need a
like legendary football coach.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
I think is the coach?
Speaker 2 (50:41):
No, I know, well, now I'm thinking we need still
still I want Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin from the Steelers
and like just every year they have a terrible team.
Everyone's like, these guys are gonna win two games this year,
and every year they are like a two seed, right,
And he's just has out energy. He like yells at
(51:02):
everybody cut your eyelids off, cut your eyelids off when
they go out to play, which is just like this,
So I don't know. And and also a great tactician,
although we might not need one with Brian.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
No, I do know this.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
Brian has absolutely I just thinking primatologist would be helpful,
like somebody who sure, yeah, can really speak to it,
but like a primatologists where you've like you know, kidnapped
their kid, because other way they're going to be like,
we should let the gorilla kill us.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
Yeah, because I don't want to introduce like you know,
there could be something like gorillas hate like reflective material
or something like maybe like a non weapon object that
evens it up. But I don't even like that idea
because now we're not talking we're talking about one hundred people. Yes,
one hundred people with tools can beat in a gorilla
right with just if we're going to brass tacks, bare
(51:51):
hands and feet, I think Brian, yes, you you take
out the vision. Now you're dealing with an animal has
no situational awareness, and now you can kind of get
a little but even then you're.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Gonna be teasing it.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yeah yeah, way terrified all of a sudden, but you're
still solved the part that you have negated the absolute
exponentially higher strength of the gorilla, because the second you
grab it, the gorilla will just put hands on you,
(52:25):
rip you a half, even if it can't see. And
I feel like you're gonna you're just gonna take the
gorilla off even more with his eyes being all gorilla
is po Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
So I was.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
I was fully on the You just overwhelm it with
one hundred at once. And then this Guardian article about
this debate pointed out that somebody did a three professional
soccer players, three professional football players verse one hundred children in.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Japan in Japan.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Yeah, and the professional soccer players won.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
Oh yeah, they beat the ship up them.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
They won.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
I mean they won one nothing, but like I don't
mean well they if you see the video, they had
like sixty kids in goal, like literally sixty, Like there
were like sixty kids goalkeepers in the goal, and they
just had to kind of headed in over them, but
like the way they just the three of them just
spread the field out and were just hitting long balls
that they can like like just had the kids chasing
(53:20):
right and it was pretty It was pretty impressive. If
it's the one I'm thinking of, because I've definitely seen
that one. I was like, Yeah, their skills are just
way too high to them get for the kids to
handle that. I think if it's one hundred random people,
it depends. I do think you're probably gonna get one
person who screams go for the eyes in that group,
(53:40):
you know what I mean? Yeah, and then and then
you might have a chance. If we're allowed to build
a team. I do like the humans chance, like if
we're allowed to draft on even if we're allowed to
draft ten, there's no answer. There's no answer, Like there's
no conceivable answer for how you gate. What are you
gonna do? Like have ten guys try and hold the
arms right like a gorilla will.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
I'm talking Mike Tomlin and the foremost primatologist and then
like Lawrence Taylor or whoever the closest person to love
Taylor Kurrent.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
I'm actually I like the eye thing, but I keep
coming back to the thing like you can't negate the strength.
I do think the strength.
Speaker 5 (54:19):
Even in the eye think I do think ten people
will die for sure, Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Ultimately
the people will win.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
I do.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
I do think that's right. Like everyone, everyone's pushing vibes
right now.
Speaker 5 (54:34):
No one's giving me plays, and then you you show them,
give me.
Speaker 1 (54:38):
An example of the play. What happens? How are you
gonna like, you can't can't damage your gorilla's achilles? Ten
do with your teeth, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (54:46):
I'm trying to think the first ten are absolutely going
to get sucked up, that eleventh person goes through the eyes,
and then the ninety rush the fuck out of the gorilla.
Speaker 2 (54:57):
I think a big difference is going to be if
it's in a ring where no, you can't pick up
something that's close by, because like our access to tools
or like our ability to use whatever is at hand
as a tool was like the crucial thing that allowed
us to like get out of the food chain. So
like if if it's a gorilla enclosure at a zoo
(55:20):
even or like you know, I feel like that is
almost an advantage because then I do feel like you can,
like you have rocks you.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Know, Okay, how about this not see but that's the thing. Yeah,
I get that, but I'm I think that the thing
that is in the appealing about this problem is how
could the pure just strength of the human body overcome
a gorilla? Obviously that's.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
If you've been watching these sports these old core videos
have run uh in a place where he believes I'm
with him.
Speaker 1 (55:59):
Just over that like like track, you just hear this
song playing that's like the Hope and all the Hope Core.
You're like, oh man, and then the hundred guys ran
after the gorilla.
Speaker 5 (56:10):
It is very graphic and the poking.
Speaker 2 (56:14):
I'm saying one like access to one rock. I don't know.
So there's this story. I like that guys versus a
guy named Golia.
Speaker 5 (56:27):
This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (56:30):
Going biblically the original sports Hope Core. Wow, way to
bring it back, way to bring it back?
Speaker 2 (56:38):
All right? Brian, what a pleasure having you on the
Daily Zeist as always? Where can people find you? Follow
you all that good stuff?
Speaker 5 (56:47):
You can find me Instagram beat Brian with an I
Underscore b a h E or TikTok is Brian Bahi.
Speaker 2 (56:56):
Yeah yeah, And is there a work of media or
so media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 5 (57:02):
Yeah, I believe. I sent the link and it is
exactly what I aut. It's it's Steph Curry, you know,
and he's talking about how he was like a tiny
dude or whatever. Not tiny, but you know he was
very underestimated, I guess early on because he's not like
super tall, he wasn't super big. And then it and
(57:25):
then there's a hard cut to him just like going
to town.
Speaker 2 (57:29):
Going to town, making some perfect it's a it is
a great clip. And there is a great documentary called, uh,
what's that documentary called that? We we watched it for
boosties a while back. I think it was just this
underrated documentary. Yeah, I think it was all underrated. But
(57:51):
like it's wild because players who you're like, man, they
they're like a real journeyman, and you know they they
nobody thought they were going to be good. But then
you like go back and watch their high school games
and it's like, oh, they were the biggest, strongest, best athlete,
best basketball player in their town by like one hundred percent.
(58:11):
They were like so much better than everybody else. But
like Steph Curry was actually small for high school basketball,
he like was a late bloomer, so he was like
a tiny little guy. Like he looks tiny out there
in his high school games and it's just like throwing
up threes with his whole body. And then he like
(58:32):
has a late ish growth spurt. But we even saw it,
Like I had kind of forgotten that when he first
came to our attention in college basketball, he was like
small for college basketball, Like he was skinny and you know,
just like a little dude. And I think he added
like a couple of inches and a bunch of muscle
like once he got into the NBA. It is a
wild story that like it's you just have to like keep.
Speaker 1 (58:56):
The thing that even struck me is like his dad
couldn't even get him like Nepo babied and of Virginia Tech.
Like they're like that was your dream, Virginia.
Speaker 2 (59:03):
They're like, we love you, Dell, but this guy is
a lose boy.
Speaker 1 (59:08):
No sorry, off you go.
Speaker 2 (59:11):
Yeah, yeah, they couldn't even get him into Virginia Tech.
You had to go to Davidson and uh just a yeah.
It is a it is a hopium story. It's Hope Core,
Hope Core. I highly highly recommend it amazing miles. Where
can people find you as their working media?

restore our national character, it will make America great again.
(01:00:07):
Oh my child, my child will run a lucrative right
wing podcast. That yeah, yeah, there's that. And then another
part was just sort of Ben Collins, who you know
runs the Onion now at Ben Collins's social uh quote
treeted this sort of like part of JB. Pritzker's speech
where he was talking about like you know, we need
we need actual like resistance against this government to get
(01:00:29):
something done. And that's where Sean Handy like he's calling
for a violence this is a call to violence against
MAGA when he's just like, no, how about people don't
get pushed around anymore. But this one part that Tim
or tim Ben Collins displaying his tim onion Yeah Ben
highlighted was autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors
to our society don't deserve to be stigmatized by a
(01:00:49):
weird NEPO baby who wants dashed at dead bear inside

doing rob at okay, but still tweeted Kevin Bacon, John Hamm,
what's next, Tim Pork. It's just a good question that
(01:01:24):
needs to be answered. And then a lot of people
were retweeting the tweet from at Ned's feed where during
the NFL draft it said the Cardinals pick is in
and he said we got a new pope, and Matthew
Waltherer tweeted this is the first NFL Draft ever held
during a papal interregnum. First chance in history to make
(01:01:46):
this joke. Who knows when it could be funny again?
Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Was good time?
Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Nope, you know the Cardinals pick was in, but unfortunately
they picked a wide receiver. They did not pick it.

I love double chocolate, I love peanut butter chocolate. I
have like oatmeal peanut butter, but oatmeal raisin. Fuck you,
that's not a cookie. That's a punishment from my grandmother.
My grandmother would always make sure that I'm making cookies
and it would be oatmeal raisin. And I remember I
got in trouble because I'm like, like, these are cookies.

the plane crashes, and then you got a puke bag.
And now they're just like they're cocky, they're calling their shots.
They're like, this is gonna be a smooth flight. Nobody's
gonna need to throw up.

please welcome back to the show, the hilarious and talented.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Brian by him right, Hell, yeah, what's up? Do you
want to come out as saying? Oatmeal raising kerkies are
the closest thing we have to dog treats as humans
like you. It tastes like what a dog would love.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
It's great. I love oatmeal, like I'll eat oatmeal like, yeah,
I was raised on oatmeal for breakfast, so it's not
I don't like them, and I'll even eat raisin. But
like together, this is not a treat and oatmeal is
not a treat. Yeah, oatmeal is just my realna.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Lie.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Really, what are you putting in that ship? I'll put
like chocolate milky ship in there.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You put chocolate milk in your oatmeal.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
It is the perfect foundation for anything sweet. Like if
anything else there you can. I put like peanut butter
in there.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sometimes, you guys, I need to step my own go
with ital was my oatmeal was like a thing that
a doctor once told me I had to eat because
my cholesterol was too high. I have, like, you know,
hereditarily high cholesterol and it works, but I just like
always associated it with being like a fucking steak. I
(07:05):
was down there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
My dad would be instant oatmeal with boiling water and
then to cool it off a splash of milk, and
so I was raised on the splash of milk to
cool off the oatmeal, and then that escalated. I said,
want to put some chocolate, I want to put some
eggnogg in here, some other ship and it all goes.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
I will say that my favorite cookie is the white
chocolate chip macadamia from.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
From somewhere you went specific reason those are so good?
Are goaded? Yeah, although I'm not going to eat that
foot long one that they're trying to push. I'm like, bro,
just keep it regular. I don't need a cookie.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yes, there's a long. Every long is our brand. We're
doing foot long nachos now doritos nachos its.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, it's really bad. Any thoughts on what the end
of April should be. If, like, if April first is
April Fools, I felt like I saw you maybe winding
up to chime in there when we were talking about it.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
In case I was maybe April. I think you're on
the right track with honesty, right, maybe April April cools. Oh,
it's kind of cool. You're so cool, you're just brutally honest.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh, a little April Fools is a little weird. Al
it's like not trying to be cool. It's just like
a little nerdy. It's a little like.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's a little like doey oi if yah, Like.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
We're wearing Hawaiian shirts.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, like that, we're.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Acting like it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
April April Cools is just like a day where you
get to be cool as fucking like, tell people the truth.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're Yeah, you're smoking a filterless Newport because you rip
the filter off because you're animal like that. And then
you're looking at the dude, I could totally I definitely
know why your parents got divorced. Yeah, exactly, they were
wrong to you. All right, Ryan, We're thrilled to have you.
We're going to get to know you a little bit better.
In a moment.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
First, a couple of stories that we're talking about. There
was a good idea proposed by Amazon that I could
see them doing and other companies following, except they got
yelled at by Trump and so now they're not doing
it anymore because authoritarianism works.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
What's selling Nazi merchandise?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, so they already do that. Oh okay, it's to
put the amount that your price went up based on
the tariffs, like on the price, so you should so
you know what, and why wouldn't they like we're that way.
They're not catching shit for like the price going up,
(09:45):
and they're not you know, they're not chaining then, so
like they just anyways, it's a good idea, and one
angry phone call from Donald Trump to Jeff Bezos and
that idea is over. I do hope like other companies
that aren't run by tech all guards who are trying
to be best friends with Donald Trump might might pick
us up. But real good kind of window into how
(10:07):
things work that we'll look at, as well as just
like what what's going on in the White House. It
seems like it's just a lot of coddling, a lot
of codling of a.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Yeah, where's I have a question. Yeah, I don't know
if you guys want to answer this.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
We are money to the podcast.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Do your cariffs go to the government? No, where do
they use the tariffs go to the extra money that
it's being paid.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I guess they do go to the government, right, Oh
in terms of who's paying the yes, yes, yes, you
don't getting the money that is that's collected by that's
collected by customs.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Which is part of the government. Yes, yes, yes, and then.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Customs is going to come rolling next time I go through.
Customs are all gonna be wearing like four chains exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Customs just all of a sudden, like super expensive sunglasses on.
They have like people handling their ship for them.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, it basically I think what they Customs collects it,
but then it goes to like a thing the treasure.
It ultimately like the treasury.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, and then that gets redistributed to all of us.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Right, No, no, that goes well, I mean, sure, Jack, whichever,
which version do you want me to tell you about it?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Version? Tell me appy it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It's they are drinking our collective fucking milkshake right now.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
With that, they just go, yeah, thank you all up
here now yeah, sounding like that milkshake was going up
your nose. Man, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Hey man, Look so how I get down, man, And.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
We'll talk about the debate that is once again raging
on the internet. One hundred man versus one gorilla. It's
an old debate, but all of a sudden, it was like,
I don't know, it was like someone you know, when
like a big news event happens and you check Twitter
and it's just like ten straight tweets that are all
(12:06):
about the same thing. That's what I got yesterday from
this old like Reddit post. Like suddenly, just like.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oh so people, I saw like a black Twitter post
about one hundred guys fighting one gorilla over the weekend,
and I thought maybe it was that. But also the Internet,
everything happened in cycles.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So yeah, yeah, well it's just an old debate, but
it like this old idea flared up over the weekend
and now we are. Everybody was talking about it, so
we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Thoughts has not changed, My thoughts will never change.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
We don't write the zeitgeist. We just report on it, folks.
So we'll talk about that all of that plenty more.
But first, Brian Bahi, we do like to ask our guest,
what is something from your search history that's revealing about.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Who you are?
Speaker 5 (12:52):
My search history lately, I've been I've been going down
this rabbit hole of TikTok's giving me a lot of
sports content lately, and I'm seeing a lot of edits
of like basketball players from like the nineties, and so
I was looking up Jordan Ones. I'm in the market
for some Jordan on wo as somebody who who has
(13:15):
almost no familiarity with the game of basketball, or weeks
only just from two weeks of watching clips on TikTok
am I now attempting to make this my entire identity.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
This feels like exactly why brands love social media, Like
this comedian we've got fuck all about basketball trying to
buy ones. Now look what we did with the algorithm. Wait,
so what happened? What exactly got piqued your interest about
the Jordan WANs from these videos? Like you just kept
seeing the shoe over and over and you're like.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
No, I'm just like trying. I'm like, what's like because
I feel like lately the sports content has been kind
of it's been hitting a home run in a way.
There's the Woman's College Playoffs was huge for me. There
was the PGA.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
PGA was huge for YouTube. That was a huge, huge,
yes putting.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
For some reason, I was like getting a lot of
it and I was like, this is really like heartwarming
to me. And then somehow out of that I like
went down. I think it's because of the the women's
college I've just like slowly like more basketball stuff just
giving to me and I'm eating it up. I'm just
watching it, you know. There there it's almost like watching
(14:37):
skateboarding videos in a way where it's like it's like
fun music is being.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Over all these something.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Okay, I'm like, wait, that's that's really that speaks.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
To me, right, Yeah, and then now Jordan One's now
you're in the market for Jordan one in the market.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I mean you were watching some old ship if you
saw somebody playing basketball and Jordan One's right, I don't
think NBA heard Yeah, the Converse All Stars back when
the NBA was a race war. Yes, Oh you're not
in the right So it's srubreddits if you don't think
it is. Still I was just like watching I guess
(15:16):
it was a podcast. It's like one of those things
that's basically just like a YouTube channel where like people
talk and like it was like a twenty minute clip
of a guy just naming all the top scorers by
white guys in NBA history by season.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
For It's like, what the fuck, what a weird what
a weird rain man trait to happen? I know, like
white supremacist sports rain man. Yeah, I only know the
white guys.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Googliata man, there's a name you don't hear very often anyway. Yeah,
Tom googli Otta was on.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
There nineties because that name sounds very familiar.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, it was the nineties. Yeah, what is bringing this about? Bro?
You just the sports content entered your feet and you
started fucking with it? Or is there like I think,
are you hanging out like a bunch of sportos now, yeah,
hanging out at the fort side.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Wild Wings, yeahs and Hooters.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I think it's also just like the this like hashtag
like Hope Core of it all.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Like oh, so you're like, oh, you're seeing Hope core.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Sports at Hope Core.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Okay, the best of the best for some reason.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Uh, that's where I am mentally right now, that makes sense?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
We all, I thought you because like the agro straight
guy versions I see on TikTok are the ones that
start off with like heavily edited Brazilian biley funk songs.
It's like.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And it's like Boom.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Dunking a bunch, and I'm like, yeah, Alan dunking a bunch,
Like that's just weird. It's just like weird.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Al was a problem. You guys don't never realize it,
like you.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Like, it feels like just AI is making remember something
where like yo, check out yea three point shooting.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
By the way, we gotta If you listen to Doctor
Carrie Mcinernie's episode yesterday, she followed she hit us and
followed up with like a couple of articles about AI
and like what it's going, what they're trying to do
to us to like our free will. There's like a
intention market where they're like, anyways, well we will have
(17:27):
on that story coming soon. But it's terrifying. All right, Well,
Jordan want's a classic shoe.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
What size you guys have him? I got a pair.
I got a pair. Yeah, I had a pair, but
then they burned in the fire and then a comedian
shout out Ian Carmel, he gave me a pair of
Jordan One's the Shadow, the Great Shadow Ones, Gray Black. Yeah, yeah,
the Great Black was nice.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, they're very narrow. If you have wide feet, I would,
I would, I would advise to size up.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
I actually do have narrow feet.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Oh then you are found your ship. You're gonna love.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
I'm kind of like Jordan's like that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Narrow feet. Yeah, sure, terrible gambling problem. I like they're
very versatile to the Jordan Ones. Well, now they're just
they're so that silhouette is just so timeless. Now it's
just like sneaker shape.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah. Like all those what's that one shoe that you
can buy that looks like it's been beat to ship
and it costs like five hundred.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Dollars Golden Goose.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah yeah, like those are all basically like their high
tops all look like Jordan Ones.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I feel like, yeah, the Blazers, it's all Yeah, is
the biggest red flag I've ever seen on a human being.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeahbody's wearing that.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I'm like, I'm crossing the street.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It's so weird to like cosplay, like I'm living in
these like these clothing items to buy like pre distressed things.
I'm just like, yeah, no, I've got plenty of distress
to go around.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know, I don't need you doing the better.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Be like Matt Damon at the end of Private Ryan and.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Earn this, earn this Golden Goose. What is something you
think is underrated? Brian?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
So I'm watching the Pit. I'm kind of really into
the pit. Shout out emergency rooms, Yeah, shout out Ivy drips.
And it's like it's reminding me that, like I feel
like we've spent so much time in media, like really
kind of loving the anti hero and somebody that's just
(19:32):
like digging themselves in this hole and then trying to
get out of the hole. Yeah, like I forgot there's
like really cool stories about people that are actually like
doing well and trying to do Yeah for people, this
is actually what's up?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Wait, so, like, what what drug problems does this doctor have?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
There's no drug he needs that he actually he actually
just helped too many people during COVID.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, I need at least a light drug problem. He
needs to be doing it while drunk has ended.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
I think it has, but I haven't finished it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yeah, it really connected like every way. Yeah, Yeah, there's
a preview for it, like a fifteen second teaser that
like played before something I was watching on Max where
he's like going to take a piss in the bathroom
and somebody's like there's an emergency and he has to
like stop himself from pissing to like go deal with
the emergency. That's That's that dedication that stressed me out. Man.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's someone you can sign up to fight a gorilla
with you And.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, that's right if you can start there just ten
of them. I feel like the whole the gorilla question
really comes down to whether you're able to do the
thing that we love seeing an action movie's and assemble
a team, you know, like do you get to go out?
Because the original question was like no, it's just a
random group of a hundred. But I think if we
(20:59):
can select our team, we might have a chance.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I will clone Lawrence Taylor on Crack. Lawrence Taylor is
the first fifty I need, Laurence what I'm thinking Lawrence
and waylor wait football coach and the primatologist. Those are
three the three things that I'm able to assemble the team.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, those are the three first picks you need.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I would pick ten people with you know, those grip strength, things. Yea,
how strong a grip is. I think that's really what's key,
because grill is going to try to fling you off.
If your grip is strong, you're gonna hang on.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Okay, So like people who do like rock climbing, they
have sane grip strength. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you're.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
So good and like the running the approach, like if
they're like this, I mean, guys, this is why this
is why.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, maybe I'm back, damn it. Maybe I'm back about
it just a little bit harder.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Brian, what is some what do you think is overrated? Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah, so that that my pit thing was anti heroes.
I think they're overrated. We're done with it. Leave that
ship in when we weren't in the Age of Aquarius.
Because we are in the Age of Aquarius. It's currently
as of a few months ago.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
That's great news for me.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Is that good?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That's from hair, It's great.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
It's when all the it's like historically, I don't know
anything about what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
But.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Historically it's when like huge like revolutions and shit happened.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
All right, Oh hell yeah, I think we kind of
need that right now, guys.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Low key, I think we need that right now. All right?
So that was your under overted? Underrated?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Is the pit?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Overrated? Is he anti heroes?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
No? Underrated?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Was uh? Fuck?
Speaker 5 (22:52):
I actually forget what I just said.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
No did you say the pit?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
No? The pit was me leading into anti heroes? I
think anti overrated and underrated? Is something else?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Is the pit? Wait?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Oh oh wait I this processed food?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh that's okay, So let's do that. Okay, okay, So
I think we flipped your overrated and underrated? What what's
something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Processed?
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Which one? What kind? What's the most underrated process food?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I think like cheese, processed cheese, American cheese.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, I'm just kind of like over it's like one, yeah,
American just oil and water in the shape of it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I fucking I am fully in agreement that I love
American cheese. Like the melt the melting point on that
ship is so crucial, Like, yes, I guess, and I
was made in a lab.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I used to rake my teeth over the edges of
the plastic to make sure I was getting all that
cheese off when I was a kid, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Like, like what's behind stays watching at like room temp.
It's like melts at room temp is a wild is
a wild quality for a substance to have.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Watching the craft singles get squirted into the plastic and
then the plastic kind of adhering it around it is
pretty fascinating.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Poetry. Poetry.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, that's the hope core edit that I should be watching.
I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I mean we shouldn't be surprised that processed food as
you're underrated because you said that your favorite cookie is
white chocolate macadamia nut cookies from somewhere. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
They're always moist.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
They are.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They are, and you know why because they are sprayed
down with chemicals that aren't available to anybody except No Fortune,
five hundred corporations and the US military.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Brian just he trusts the process. That's right.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
You gotta trust the process. I think we need to
stop having trying to have so much control over everything.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
That's trust the process and right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Control works in the short term. Long term, it's a
bad strategy. It's gonna it's gonna fuck you up trying
to control everything just to let it go. Eat the
fucking processed food.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Trust the process.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Trust the process, and we we know how well that
worked out for the seventy six ers, so it'll probably
work out for all of us as well.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's my basketball team, bro, you need a hope core
sixers at it? Man, really, I do not.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'm going over here.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm dead man.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I need to think about that ship for a little while. Yeah,
all right, great to have you back, Brian. We're gonna
take a quick break. We're gonna come back. We're gonna
talk about some of this news. You heard about this
stuff the news. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And we're back and.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah. So corporation, one of the big corporations, stumbled on
an idea, yeah, that I think would have served both
them and consumers. I think, you know, it would have
like enlightened consumers a little bit. The idea is to
put the cost that the tariffs were costing the amount
(26:22):
of the tariffs were costing people onto each item. So
the thing that used to be seven dollars is now
thirteen dollars. They just say the tariff surcharge is six dollars,
and people understand, well, I guess that wasn't Amazon's fault
that everything's more expensive.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's just their fault that they're passing it on to us.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It is their fault that they're passing around. I mean,
so that's what Trump was like, Well, a big corporation
like that, like can't afford the six dollars, And it's like, no,
that's not how these fucking things work. What are you crazy?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Actually, the publicly traded company, Yeah, certainly not gonna be
like yeah, and we will just we will stomach that
and just dwindle away in our revenue. That's because that's
how American companies think.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
But anyways, they were thinking about doing that, and then
they got a call from Daddy, and Donald Trump got
mad and called them, and they immediately backtracked and pretended
Stalin style. Not only do they are they like, no,
we're not going to do that anymore. They're like, that
never happened. We were never considering doing that.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Who told you that they're probably all fucked up on
drugs or something, because that was ever going to happen.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
The person who says that disappears from all pictures past
and future just cut it out of it.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Was that Hunter was that sounds like something Hunter would say.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Right, But yeah, like this and see it, and they're saying,
quote Trump called Bezos to complain about reports that Amazon
was considering displaying the cost of US tariffs next to
prices for certain products on the website. The call came
shortly after one of the senior officials phoned the President
to inform him of the story quote. Of course, he
was pissed. One of the officials, who was granted anonymity
(28:02):
to speak, candidly told CNN, why should a multi why
should a multi billion dollar company pass off cost to consumers?
Good course of all, good question. I'm like, really, you're
really never been to America before, that's the thing you're
saying out loud and then out a briefing today, White
House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called the move quote a
hostile and political act, adding that she had spoken about
(28:22):
the matter with President Trump earlier.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Really, yeah, it sounds like a kind of do you
think someone actually in the White House saying why should
a multi billion dollar company pass off cost to consumers?
The multi billion dollar companies should be absorbing those costs
to keep prices low. That's completely against the philosophical mission
of all corporations in America.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I mean, I agree, yeah, yeah, it's just wildly unrealistic.
That they're not going to pass it on.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
That's something Elizabeth Warren says right out loud, you know,
Elizabeth Warren, but like out of the White House again,
because I think all that, for all of this, the
thing that they just aren't saying out loud is why
are you showing the cost of it to make us
look bad for the dumbest fucking economic policy. People have
seen this the last few centuries, maybe since the tulip
(29:12):
fucking the.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Tulip panic, Yeah, the tulip panic, Like what the fuck
are y'all talking about tulipmania? Yes, yes, of course tulipmania, Tumania.
Many people are saying this is the best idea since Tulipmania.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Right.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
It's also frustrating to me because it's truly unimaginable for
me that a Democratic president would be able to get
a corporation to stop what they're doing by yelling at them,
but also that they would even try, you know, because
they are the party of the corporations, where they think
these are their friends.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
I feel like, well, see the Republicans used to but
in pursuit of like total like a total white ethno state,
like they have to now be like sorry, y'all like
you have to do everything we say. Now, that's that's
just sort of the game at this point. But yeah,
there's no way. Yeah. I mean, look, Biden could have
said something when it was clear that quote unquote inflation.
(30:09):
So much of that was just corporate greed because they
were just charging more because they knew they could. But yeah,
I think the most you did it was like they
got it, they got it, they gotta knock that off.
Was like kind of like the energy we got from
the White House.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Then, I mean, Harris came out and was like, this
is gonna be a big part of my campaign is
that like the reason that things inflation was happening. And
then she got shouted down externally like in the papers
by you know, economists and quote, and then also internally
because like one of Doug's brothers or something. I forget
(30:43):
who it was, but it was like someone who's like
close to her, not because of like being associated because
of their job, but because of like a familial or
like friend connection was like on the board at uber
or something, you know, like someone influential in the world
of it's her brother in law. It was her brother
(31:03):
in law, brother in law came at her and was like,
this is a bad look for you. This is not
Wall Street approved, because that was the New York Times
headline was Harris had a Wall Street approved economic pitch.
Yes exactly, she.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
Are, Okay, wait, so are the terriffs set up? I
feel like I'm the six year old in this.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
If you're six five.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
And the terror set up to like make all just
like manufacturing ship American based.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
And that's like the very abstract idea, but in practice
it's it's going to take years to get any kind
of semblance of manufacturing at levels that could be like, well,
now everything is American made, it's going to take And
also the cost there's the cost of labor is still
high in the United States, so everywhere that's not changing
(31:59):
anything for sure unless we have a total sea change
of like what we pay people. So because we pay
the people who work in factories enough that they can
even pay the prices that's justified by the cost of labor,
it's all very like it they're just selling a fever
dream because most people will just stop thinking at the well, yeah, man,
because then we're gonna start building stuff here, and then
(32:19):
we're gonna get jobs. And and everything is gonna start
and it's like that's that ship has set sail.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
It's yeah, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, And now American consumers are way too reliant on
very cheap goods that you're there. It's cheap because the
places that they're exploiting, the people's labor to make this
ship is cheap. It is not cheap to do that
here because they will all a just won't pay people
living wages. And if they like again, for all of
that to happen, so many things have to also go
(32:48):
up to make everything be like, oh well, I can't
afford this new American made thing because my wages have
gone up three times.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Exactly Like if they want to, if that's what they want,
they need to also do take the steps to make
it realistic for so many other Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, because this this is like even this is just
again I think that's where like people sort of thinking
sort of ends. And now we're at this place now
where a lot of people are using like the Wiley
coyote off the cliff meme because shipping from China has
basically cratered and they're like now see this like pause
and stuff like of goods that were coming out of
(33:24):
the hose. Wait till we get to that air gap
in the hose and nothing's coming out anymore. And that's
when there's a lot there's gonna be a lot of
chaos at least for like, you know, the kinds of
consumer goods that we have important.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Toilet paper shortage will apply to other things, like this
is paper shortage from the early pandemic. You're going to
see that in many different places.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, for just like the things that you weren't counting.
It's like, oh, like cheap toys for kids or things
like that, like all that kind of stuff, and I
can do without those.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Jesus Chris.
Speaker 5 (33:54):
That you get this pretty after two seconds. For kind
of the action movie industry, because I feel like a
lot of kind of the act threes in your Fashion
and Furious Is or something, they all take place in
like those big metal shipping containers, and we're not using
those anymore. Then the audience is gonna be like, this
isn't realistic?
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah exactly. Yeah. So it's among many unpopular ideas that
the Trump administration is pursued full blast, and I think
a lot of people have assumed, like slash hoped that, well,
this is like he Trump's a maverick. He's like a
(34:36):
He's a capitalist. He knows what he's doing. And the
reason he's pursuing these is because even though he knows
they're wildly unpopular, he had he has a gun instinct
and he's just gonna he's gonna ride with it. And
we're also seeing reporting that that's not true. He actually
doesn't realize they're unpopular. He is like a celebrity who's
(34:59):
been surrounded but it's like the celebrityary Katy Perry, yeah,
or like a comedian who gets like too famous and
then like they're the album two albums after they have
like a house that with like twenty people who work
for them at it, you know, and then like they
come out and here was like wait, what this person
(35:20):
seems like they're on a different planet than me. Like that. Yeah,
Katy Perry, I guess.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Disease blissfully unaware of what's happening around him, because like
the Amazon story, along with the ones about the polls
and Trump's reaction to them, like the latest pot night
in the last polls we talked about on the show,
like the latest ones that came out over the weekend
in Earli this week again paints this picture of people
(35:45):
managing his moods to keep things going, and it like
again that whole thing about like what what the what?
What's a multi Why isn't a multi billion dollar corporation
able to stomach that stuff? They're trying to make this
look bad. Sounds like a thing someone says to Donald
Trump about like why everything is fucked up?
Speaker 2 (36:00):
And he's right, yeah, then they can afford it. Yeah, yeah,
Bazos can afford it. Do that.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Okay, America can afford to give people health care. And okay, so,
oh so we don't always believe if you can afford it,
you should do it. So then shut the fuck up. So,
like the latest polls right the Times is Trump's approval
rating at forty two percent. The Washington Post has him
at thirty nine percent. Trump just got on truth social
and saying stuff like these fake news polls from fake
(36:30):
news organizations. He said, these organizations are sick and the
enemy of the people. And he's like the famous Pollar
pollster John McLaughlin. He's even says these are fake polls
and then also not mentioning he's like this is a
guy I hired to do Bypoles this quote unquote famous
polster mad at Fox and again this is just shock
(36:52):
like this shock over These numbers are based on living
in an echo chamber where staff are telling him how
much he is killing it, and we know how much
he watches press briefings, and like the way Caroline Levitt talks,
it's clearly to please the audience of Trump. And I
think this what the Republicans are doing, especially with Project
twenty twenty five. They have to destroy a lot of
(37:13):
these norms in order to get their agenda through in
the way they see it, you know, happening in their dreams.
So the best way to get unpopular policies backed by
the President is to obscure how unpopular they are and
even straight up lie and tell him that people fucking
love shit like Doge or the tariffs, or that they
are not illegal like this shit he's doing with trafficking,
(37:35):
disappearing immigrants or canceling visas for kids who exercise their
right to free speech.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
You're the man king, He's in his like fat Elvis
stage right now, right. I feel like, you know, just like,
oh man, that was hilarious. Tiny Elvis nineties.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
That was so sick when you roundhouse kicked that mannequin.
President Trump cool, like, okay, but I mean you look
at this. One quote right from this is from an
interview a couple of weeks ago, when Time interviewed Trump.
This is very telling. This is from Time. Quote the
Supreme Court ruled that. This is them asking about kill
mar Abrego Garcia. This is the person asking Trump the
(38:16):
Supreme Court ruled that you have to bring kill mar
Abrego Garcia back. Aren't you disobeying the Supreme Court? Trump responded, quote,
That's not what my people told me. They say that
this Nino decision was something very different and actually was
something in my favor.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Which, like we saw that and we assumed that that
was they were joking, right, Like we saw him say,
oh like that. Somebody asked him about the Supreme Court
and he was like that that was for us, right,
and they were like, yeah, yeah, boss, that's for us,
And then everybody kind of laughed, Like I didn't think
(38:51):
that he actually believed that this Nino decision that went
against him was actually for him.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
That's like a startling lack of content with reality.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
It is if your brain is the consistency of Nickelodeon
floam from the early nineties, and you are so senile
that truly you just the repetition of a sentence will
then become your reality. That's like what this totally is.
Because he's even like what illegal, No, that's not He
always says a thing is like not, My people told
(39:23):
me that that's that's not the case, when it's like,
oh are they? They're telling you this. This makes sense.
Not to excuse anything what Trump's doing, but I think
it just shows his mental state, and these people are
basically realizing, Okay, we can get him to do really
unpopular shit if we lie about it, and then when
the shit hits the fan freak out and then dial
back things like the tariffs or him softening his stance
(39:46):
on China or whatever. But yeah, it's a coddling old
man day every.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
Day inside of manifesting in a way.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Yeah, I mean that the only people who are allowed
to manifest are these like massive CEOs and like the
people who have just like lucked them their way into
being like the one in a million who like actually
succeed all the way in capitalism, and then they become
surrounded by a bunch of people who are just managing them,
(40:14):
you know, and just like trying, like trying to create
whatever they think that person.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Wants to see.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
It's like the whole world of celebrity. It's the whole
world of like the people who are like billionaires are
have not been anywhere in the realm of reality for
you know, since they hit a billion dollars, you know. Yeah,
And he's like all of those things combined. He's a celebrity, billionaire, CEO, president,
(40:42):
and like he's just so insulated.
Speaker 5 (40:45):
He's like the Gecko Geico in a way. He's kind
of just like.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Hmm, go on in many ways, fake accent even no,
but it is like what you're saying, Jack, it's the same.
It's like having a terrible entourage a celebrity. Like at
a certain point, all those people you hire, they realize
they have to keep the money hose on for their
like for like their livelihoods too, and they're like, yeah,
(41:09):
take that gig, Yeah, do this, do this, because I
need you to be working for me to get a check,
so like we'll fucking do whatever. And unfortunately, like you're saying,
it's now all kind of coming together in the form
of a presidency.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Like as Brian pointed out, like the Geico Gecko, like
the the number one celebrity who's like around the poisonous
on trot, like the Geico Geckos, like a massive coke
problem that like I mean, that's been document.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
I don't know if we should justin maybe let's cut that.
I don't want to.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I don't want to like with you know, we we care,
like it's he gets.
Speaker 5 (41:48):
He's so very well connected and like you know, the
dark underbelly of.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
Yeah Salamander or society.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
He said, Ducks disappeared just for you know, looking like
the affleck do. But he is, as Gilbert Godfrey, what happened?
It's just like, oh you thought those are natural clues.
I yeah, we hope he gets the help he needs,
but like with the entourage around him that he has,
(42:20):
like you know, it's just a bunch of people paid
to get him to the next commercial gig and like
keep him from flipping out.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
But think about, like at his coke think about like
if you I don't know, this is like a weird example,
but like if your grandparents are like babysitting you and
your bunch of friends and like, dude, my grandpa's fucking
out of it. Dude, he will drive us to buy fireworks.
They tell him they're legal and actually you can play
with them at thirteen years old and not eighteen.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Watch.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yeah, dude, grandpa, can you take us to get fireworks?
I thought that you're too young. No, they just changed
the law that you can actually be nine years old
and handle fireworks. Oh okay, can we go? Sure? Like
that's the same thing. It's like, can we like disappear
a bunch of immigrants right now? And I don't know
if Trump's first reaction is like, that's unconscionable, but they're
(43:07):
gonna be like it's people are gonna fucking love it.
And then he's like, oh, well they're gonna love it sure,
And I'm not. I don't. I don't have enough critical
thinking skills to really do anything else. And it aligns
with my slight desire to, you know, mistreat people of color.
So yeah, let's go fire cloud of power that like
has no center to it, and everyone else trying to like, yeah,
(43:27):
it's like a vape cloud that they're just trying to
push in one direction.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
I mean vape vape clouds are cool compared to it.
That's true. Yeah, let's take a quick break and we'll
be right back to talk about what's on everybody's mind,
the debate over one one hundred person one gorilla. We'll
be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
I do just at the the Floam reference smiles. I
don't want that to go by without being remarked on.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
It's okay, Like I said, check my bio encyclopedic knowledge
of the nineties.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
Is that the one that would like that would almost
like crack when you molded it.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Yeah, it was like a bunch of little beads almost
like held together.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
It was really what if.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
Rice Krispy Treats was toy you know what if Rice
Krispy Treats gave you bowel problems, if you even touched
your mouth after handling it. It's if you ate them.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
They were in your body for the rest of your
life and also your children's lives somehow your progeny.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Also.
Speaker 5 (44:38):
Now every third person is like gooning to as Mr
Shit and we have we have Floam to thank for that.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
I know, right exactly. We were just out here just
trying to figure it out on our own with Nickelodeon Floam.
I gave it the full brand name because I felt
like people would forget if I didn't properly say Nickelodeon Floam.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Nickelodeon Floam, a larger and larger part of their body
is just made out of floam, like instead of a
left knee. I have flown down there. I can just
mold it and remold it as I walk. Anyways, old debate,
and this is not this is not the story that
I thought I was going to be talking about today.
And yet, like I said, we report on the zeitgeist,
(45:17):
we don't make it. Yesterday I had the experience of
checking social media and it just being wall to wall
one hundred men versus one gorilla, you know, commentary videos,
and so this is an old debate. I mean this
sort of debate.
Speaker 5 (45:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
There was one of my favorite articles from the early
days of Cracked, like two thousand and eight Cracked, I think,
was by this writer Chris Buckles, that was just like
how to fight twenty children like as one person, And
it was just like really well thought out and good
advice that i've that has shaped me as a person.
Speaker 5 (45:56):
Used.
Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, yeah, I'll link off to that as my work
in media. But it is kind of one of those
questions like once you start thinking about it, it's kind
of hard to stop. I will say, the original question,
as originally posed on Reddit five years ago, I think
has a fairly simple answer because they really stacked the
(46:19):
deck against the humans. Oh yeah, yeah. The original question
was like, all right, first round, you can only go
two at a two men at a time, yeah, and
they're in a grilla exhibit. The second one is in
a construction as at a construction site, and you can
go ten at a time. They also say that it
(46:40):
just has to be like one hundred average people. And
then the third one, I guess you can go all
at once, but you're not going to have many people
left after those first two rounds to go all at once,
which is like really your only hope.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
I think all of the sort of modifiers are meaningless
because really the question is how can what just in
a in a fair one? Okay, no tools, no weapons,
not because this guy is basically bringing up like rainbow
road type ship where like the headrilla fall off the
edge or some ship. No, what is it going to
(47:14):
take for one hundred human beings? To beat the fuck
out of a gorilla.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yeah, like a cage match or something like that.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Yeah, you know, yeah, And my first reaction is it's
not happening. It's not happening. Ever, my big thing with
all of this is human beings don't have like fangs.
They cannot draw blood. So you're you're you're counting on
purely overpowering a gorilla. I mean, we do have thangs, moms,
but can you okay, can you can you draw blood
(47:44):
from a through that gorilla's fur?
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Probably if I had to, if he stayed still, if
he stayed still, if I hit the finger real hard
like Charlie, yeah, I probably could. I can bite through
a lot I got.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
But I'm just saying that's how I see a gorilla somehow,
like if it fought a tiger's because the tiger slashes
the gorilla and is like it's leaking in a straight
up hold the gorilla. Fucking hundred people aren't doing that.
The first guy that gets ripped in fucking half by
this thing, all people are gonna go, h no, right,
(48:21):
you need all these other things that I think you need.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
I think first of all, we need to we need
a draft, like and not not a like military's where
we're going by birthday. I think we need to mcgoover's style,
get to put together a team mcgroov of the film,
not the SNL sketch, Oh thank you, which the film,
the film sketch. The sketch is a completely different thing.
(48:46):
The film is a work of art. The you know,
I think we need to be able to intentionally assemble
a team. I think there needs to be some sort
of a squid Game style motivation that is going to
prevent what you're talking about where they see a person
get ripped in half and everybody's like, this is not
worth it. It needs to be worth Like it needs
(49:08):
to be one hundred men and the grill are in
the cage and like it's not over until.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
It would be sick in squid Game, like in the
actual like a new season of squid Game, Like when
there's like four hundred people left, it's like all four
hundred y'all versus gorilla right now, right, Yeah, a lot
of y'all are going to die, a lot of y'all
going to die. But four hundred four hundred feels like maybe.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Four hundred, So how are you? I don't even know
what hundred is different than one hundred other than like, I.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Feel like a gorilla killing three hundred people with its
bare hands may tire the gorilla out get tired, and
then the other ones are just like coming up and
like kind of yeah, I feel like that would probably be.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
True after like fifty right, like that, that's a lot
of people to kill.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
I could see that. I almost think now, I think
you could almost it can be. It can almost be
a random assortment of one hundred people. It doesn't they don't.
You don't even need to do a draft. You just
need a coach that's like like a maestro, Yes, a
maestro who's running plays and basically the goal of every
(50:16):
play is somebody goes for the eyes. I think once
you get the eyes.
Speaker 2 (50:22):
Brian, Okay, that is right, it's gotta be the eyes.
Although all right, so this is what I'm saying, you
gotta be the eyes. Like that convinced me in a
split second. At first, I was like, we need a
like legendary football coach.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
I think is the coach?
Speaker 2 (50:41):
No, I know, well, now I'm thinking we need still
still I want Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin from the Steelers
and like just every year they have a terrible team.
Everyone's like, these guys are gonna win two games this year,
and every year they are like a two seed, right,
And he's just has out energy. He like yells at
(51:02):
everybody cut your eyelids off, cut your eyelids off when
they go out to play, which is just like this,
So I don't know. And and also a great tactician,
although we might not need one with Brian.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
No, I do know this.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
Brian has absolutely I just thinking primatologist would be helpful,
like somebody who sure, yeah, can really speak to it,
but like a primatologists where you've like you know, kidnapped
their kid, because other way they're going to be like,
we should let the gorilla kill us.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
Yeah, because I don't want to introduce like you know,
there could be something like gorillas hate like reflective material
or something like maybe like a non weapon object that
evens it up. But I don't even like that idea
because now we're not talking we're talking about one hundred people. Yes,
one hundred people with tools can beat in a gorilla
right with just if we're going to brass tacks, bare
(51:51):
hands and feet, I think Brian, yes, you you take
out the vision. Now you're dealing with an animal has
no situational awareness, and now you can kind of get
a little but even then you're.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Gonna be teasing it.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yeah yeah, way terrified all of a sudden, but you're
still solved the part that you have negated the absolute
exponentially higher strength of the gorilla, because the second you
grab it, the gorilla will just put hands on you,
(52:25):
rip you a half, even if it can't see. And
I feel like you're gonna you're just gonna take the
gorilla off even more with his eyes being all gorilla
is po Yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (52:34):
So I was.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
I was fully on the You just overwhelm it with
one hundred at once. And then this Guardian article about
this debate pointed out that somebody did a three professional
soccer players, three professional football players verse one hundred children in.
Speaker 1 (52:51):
Japan in Japan.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
Yeah, and the professional soccer players won.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
Oh yeah, they beat the ship up them.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
They won.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
I mean they won one nothing, but like I don't
mean well they if you see the video, they had
like sixty kids in goal, like literally sixty, Like there
were like sixty kids goalkeepers in the goal, and they
just had to kind of headed in over them, but
like the way they just the three of them just
spread the field out and were just hitting long balls
that they can like like just had the kids chasing
(53:20):
right and it was pretty It was pretty impressive. If
it's the one I'm thinking of, because I've definitely seen
that one. I was like, Yeah, their skills are just
way too high to them get for the kids to
handle that. I think if it's one hundred random people,
it depends. I do think you're probably gonna get one
person who screams go for the eyes in that group,
(53:40):
you know what I mean? Yeah, and then and then
you might have a chance. If we're allowed to build
a team. I do like the humans chance, like if
we're allowed to draft on even if we're allowed to
draft ten, there's no answer. There's no answer, Like there's
no conceivable answer for how you gate. What are you
gonna do? Like have ten guys try and hold the
arms right like a gorilla will.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
I'm talking Mike Tomlin and the foremost primatologist and then
like Lawrence Taylor or whoever the closest person to love
Taylor Kurrent.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
I'm actually I like the eye thing, but I keep
coming back to the thing like you can't negate the strength.
I do think the strength.
Speaker 5 (54:19):
Even in the eye think I do think ten people
will die for sure, Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Ultimately
the people will win.
Speaker 2 (54:29):
I do.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
I do think that's right. Like everyone, everyone's pushing vibes
right now.
Speaker 5 (54:34):
No one's giving me plays, and then you you show them,
give me.
Speaker 1 (54:38):
An example of the play. What happens? How are you
gonna like, you can't can't damage your gorilla's achilles? Ten
do with your teeth, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (54:46):
I'm trying to think the first ten are absolutely going
to get sucked up, that eleventh person goes through the eyes,
and then the ninety rush the fuck out of the gorilla.
Speaker 2 (54:57):
I think a big difference is going to be if
it's in a ring where no, you can't pick up
something that's close by, because like our access to tools
or like our ability to use whatever is at hand
as a tool was like the crucial thing that allowed
us to like get out of the food chain. So
like if if it's a gorilla enclosure at a zoo
(55:20):
even or like you know, I feel like that is
almost an advantage because then I do feel like you can,
like you have rocks you.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
Know, Okay, how about this not see but that's the thing. Yeah,
I get that, but I'm I think that the thing
that is in the appealing about this problem is how
could the pure just strength of the human body overcome
a gorilla? Obviously that's.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
If you've been watching these sports these old core videos
have run uh in a place where he believes I'm
with him.
Speaker 1 (55:59):
Just over that like like track, you just hear this
song playing that's like the Hope and all the Hope Core.
You're like, oh man, and then the hundred guys ran
after the gorilla.
Speaker 5 (56:10):
It is very graphic and the poking.
Speaker 2 (56:14):
I'm saying one like access to one rock. I don't know.
So there's this story. I like that guys versus a
guy named Golia.
Speaker 5 (56:27):
This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (56:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (56:30):
Going biblically the original sports Hope Core. Wow, way to
bring it back, way to bring it back?
Speaker 2 (56:38):
All right? Brian, what a pleasure having you on the
Daily Zeist as always? Where can people find you? Follow
you all that good stuff?
Speaker 5 (56:47):
You can find me Instagram beat Brian with an I
Underscore b a h E or TikTok is Brian Bahi.
Speaker 2 (56:56):
Yeah yeah, And is there a work of media or
so media that you've been enjoying.
Speaker 5 (57:02):
Yeah, I believe. I sent the link and it is
exactly what I aut. It's it's Steph Curry, you know,
and he's talking about how he was like a tiny
dude or whatever. Not tiny, but you know he was
very underestimated, I guess early on because he's not like
super tall, he wasn't super big. And then it and
(57:25):
then there's a hard cut to him just like going
to town.
Speaker 2 (57:29):
Going to town, making some perfect it's a it is
a great clip. And there is a great documentary called, uh,
what's that documentary called that? We we watched it for
boosties a while back. I think it was just this
underrated documentary. Yeah, I think it was all underrated. But
(57:51):
like it's wild because players who you're like, man, they
they're like a real journeyman, and you know they they
nobody thought they were going to be good. But then
you like go back and watch their high school games
and it's like, oh, they were the biggest, strongest, best athlete,
best basketball player in their town by like one hundred percent.
(58:11):
They were like so much better than everybody else. But
like Steph Curry was actually small for high school basketball,
he like was a late bloomer, so he was like
a tiny little guy. Like he looks tiny out there
in his high school games and it's just like throwing
up threes with his whole body. And then he like
(58:32):
has a late ish growth spurt. But we even saw it,
Like I had kind of forgotten that when he first
came to our attention in college basketball, he was like
small for college basketball, Like he was skinny and you know,
just like a little dude. And I think he added
like a couple of inches and a bunch of muscle
like once he got into the NBA. It is a
wild story that like it's you just have to like keep.
Speaker 1 (58:56):
The thing that even struck me is like his dad
couldn't even get him like Nepo babied and of Virginia Tech.
Like they're like that was your dream, Virginia.
Speaker 2 (59:03):
They're like, we love you, Dell, but this guy is
a lose boy.
Speaker 1 (59:08):
No sorry, off you go.
Speaker 2 (59:11):
Yeah, yeah, they couldn't even get him into Virginia Tech.
You had to go to Davidson and uh just a yeah.
It is a it is a hopium story. It's Hope Core,
Hope Core. I highly highly recommend it amazing miles. Where
can people find you as their working media?
Speaker 1 (59:27):
You've been enjoy ah Man, Yes, find me everywhere at
Miles of Gray. Basically that's yeah, anywhere that symbol. If
you like basketball like Brian does, come check out Miles
and jack out mad Masks. Some people say it's the
hope core of basketball podcast.
Speaker 4 (59:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (59:45):
And if you are a hardcore ninety day fiance fan,
then check me out on four to twenty day Fiance.
Let's see this post like from Blue Skies from at
Jake grumbachtop, you's got a social posted your child will
toil in the factory. It will be masculine, it will
restore our national character, it will make America great again.
(01:00:07):
Oh my child, my child will run a lucrative right
wing podcast. That yeah, yeah, there's that. And then another
part was just sort of Ben Collins, who you know
runs the Onion now at Ben Collins's social uh quote
treeted this sort of like part of JB. Pritzker's speech
where he was talking about like you know, we need
we need actual like resistance against this government to get
(01:00:29):
something done. And that's where Sean Handy like he's calling
for a violence this is a call to violence against
MAGA when he's just like, no, how about people don't
get pushed around anymore. But this one part that Tim
or tim Ben Collins displaying his tim onion Yeah Ben
highlighted was autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors

were retweeting the tweet from at Ned's feed where during
the NFL draft it said the Cardinals pick is in
and he said we got a new pope, and Matthew
Waltherer tweeted this is the first NFL Draft ever held
during a papal interregnum. First chance in history to make

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
