Speaker 1 (00:02):
So this year, my son went as venom, big plastic
venom mask, and I have an old green goblin costume
that also profaned like also, you know I've talked to
my camel toe batman before. Uh so this one is
like a full body like hug your body type type
suit and then a green goblin plastic like latex mask

(00:27):
that goes over your whole head. I found a Robin
Hood tunic to cover up my ship. So it wasn't like,
you know, offensivenic. Okay, okay, you're mash up. I like this, okay.
Uh I put the big rubber mask on. Looks great.
I was immediately in Carl Havoc mode. I was immediately
and I've got too much shit on me mode, like

(00:49):
I was so uncomfortable man. And same like my son,
who like we we did a whole thing, like he
had the mask that he fell in love with and
was like, I'm wearing this no matter what. And then
we did backpacks with like pool Noodle like symbio coming out,
and so he was not taking the mask off no

(01:11):
matter what. But he was walking around with the body
language of Karl Havoc the whole night, like oh yeah, he.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Was just like because he was, but he knew he
couldn't be like I got we got it well because
every time he took it off, people are like doc
oc because of the things.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
He was like, No, it's better, God damn me, just
sweat boring. I just feel like rubber masks, man. They
they look awesome and absolutely suck shit.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
That's why. That's why the screen mask is better.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
It's just a Yeah, it's just a one one panel
in your face and you can pop it up.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, it's like a catcher.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I was like, you know, I had my green Goblin
mask on top of my head the whole time because
I couldn't because I had too much fucking shit on me.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
You didn't say, you didn't tell your kids. I don't
even be here anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I did not get there because I just took it off.
If I had to have had it on the whole night,
I would have everybody was like, oh, jolly green giant,
which you know I took that personally.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Who shouldn't be around kids? Huh what? No, No, not
at all.

Speaker 1 (02:21):

I do.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
I've seen look and I've seen it happen in so
many other Hold.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
On the other side of that for sure. When the
Yankees were doing it, m m mm hmm. Uh yeah,
we were talking before we started recording about how uh
bad for baseball, bad for Drake, bad Jesus Christ. People
like Nike immediately put up a commercial that we watched
before we started rolling about. It was a squabble up

(03:31):
and it was like it was like movie credits, but
then like a bunch of just clips from the season
squad and.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
They showed Blake Snell like the guy. A lot of
Dodger fans like Snell you're fucking for him to be like.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Even those eyes those looking like, yeah, you don't want
those eyes looking at you like that.

Speaker 2 (03:53):

tell you what's trending, But first we're gonna we're gonna
check in with you by telling you some things that
are going on with us, telling you some things we
think are underrated, overrated mouths. What is something that you
think is underrated?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Underrated?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Not watching Game seven of the World series at home
on a couch and a TV like everyone else did.
This series has been so fucking stressful, Like when it
went to game six, I'm like I or game seven.
I was like, oh my god, I'm I will fucking
I will turn into Obi wan Kenobi, just a pile
of clothes. Just I will vanish if we lose Game

(04:36):
seven like this, Like I would have much rather just lost.
I don't want to go seven games and lose. Yes,
I was very stressed. I like we were going to
a costume party and you know her mask. He was like,
do you want to like watch the rest of the game.
I'm like, no, no, no, let's watch.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
It on my phone.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I watch it on my phone, watching my phone just
to kind of have a bit of a distraction. So
I was on my way there, I'm watching the final
inning on my phone in the backseat of a car,
and like as like, the other people in the car
weren't as invested. I get it, they're from Chicago. They
were like, broll, I don't give a fuck. Ain't the
cups like yeah yeah? And then we get to the party.

(05:11):
I get out of the car and I'm I'm like
literally closing the door as I watched the double play
that ends the game.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Fuckings.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
I'm standing under a street light and I just screamed
so fucking loud by myself, like it echoes under a
under the pale moonlight. Okay, I was dancing with the
Devil baby, just.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Screaming.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
And then I think my phone must have been about
eight seconds ahead of like the major broadcast.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, so live feed, you know, like it kind of
the whole series felt like that. We're like you would
get text from people who were clearly somehow fifteen seconds
and you're like.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
What the fuck, I'm live right now. The fuck am
I getting these texts?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was happening all over. Like we
we were like, ah, they're down four to two or something,
and someone was like, what, no, it's it's tied. I
was like, oh, buddy, oh.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Thanks for that. Oh now they're okay, I see that now.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
So as ice cream. Eight seconds later, fucking every house
on this street just explodes with cheering and people coming
outside to yell, And it was just so it was
dope to kind of have this moment when I was
like I'm watching this alone and then have that reinforce
like this this entire neighborhood. I was like, everyone's like
people coming out, throwing shit up in the air. Fucking

(06:24):
the fireworks were going off. It felt like that one
scene in one battle after another.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I was like, this is fucking dope.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
It was just a really such a subtle detail that
like I won't forget about this world series of like
really being in the like on a residential street, but
being fully just in the rapture of happiness while people
come out and celebrate.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
It was.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
It was great And look, I wouldn't have had that
if I was on some like we gotta wait and
watch this at home until it's over.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
So yeah, yeah, nonsports fans who don't know what happened exactly,
I'm sure you're where. The Dodgers won the World Series
was like one of the most gut rending Game sevens,
Like people who didn't have a rooting interest would call
it the best World Series Game seven of all time. Yeah,
and went into extra innings. The Blue Jays are two

(07:14):
outs away from being the world champs. And then the
ninth hitter for the Dodgers, the like worst hitter in
the lineup, hit a home run to tie it and
then going to extra innings, and then, uh, the the
catcher for the Dodgers, who is five foot four based
on like this, looks so small. Every time he comes
up to bat, he's like like four inches taller than

(07:38):
the other catcher who's like squatting behind the plate. And
then he hit a home run. But is he five
to ten? He would be small to me. It might
just be a angle because.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
He looks like a little guy. Like he just looks
like a normal guy.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, yeah, he just he looks like a real normal guy.
His names Will Smith, Louisville, Louisville. Uh the yeah, just
like watching it with my kids, you know, get like
they're getting into it for the first time while asking
me what the rule about the rules and stuff like that.
Then after the game, when I got over, I just
like picked him up, took him outside, and I was like,

(08:14):
there's about to be fireworks and right it was like
it was like a ten second delay and they were like, oh,
oh really really and then and then it fucking went off.
Like you're like, everywhere Matt people were were saving the
big bang bangs.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, people were I think setting off stuff
they must have stole from the FEDS, like, because I
was like, I've never seen it like that, Like that
scene in Coneheads when Dan Aykroyd does the halftime fireworks
show and he like watches that little flimsy bottle rock
and they're like, that's it, Conehead and he puts the
blue blockers on and it's like a fucking like explosion.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Shout out to the Dodgers, Shout out
to the Blue je I've never felt worse for a
team that I was rooting against, but they, you know,
were an awesome team and an awesome story.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I was fully ready for the Dodgers to lose because
it felt like destiny with it did played the entire postseason,
even going this far.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
So anyway, anyways, my underrated from social events over the weekend. Uh, well,
Seltzer water with lime. I'm gonna go with that over
any mocktail. At this point in my non drinking career,
I feel like the question that most mocktails seem to

(09:29):
be asking is like, do you have a non alcoholic
beverage that tastes bad the way that like alcohol? Right?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Like just be like juice?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
And then sometimes they are like juice and I'm like, well,
I don't want juice at ten o'clock at night. I'm
not a child, and you just like I don't know.
I just like seltzer water with lime. It gets the
same thing accomplished. It's just easier. You're not like feeling weird,
doesn't like fuck up your stuff, make or anything. I

(10:01):
will make an exception for like a real spicy mocktail.
They got a real spicy mocktail, but usually it's just
like some manner of either like tons of bitters or
like a bunch of sugar and shit.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And because I think they don't want to have something
like they want people to.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
My idea is like you want to sit at the
same cadence you would an alcoholic drink, So it's yeah,
oh I love this, yet me drink. So I'm like, yeah,
you're going there to drink something pleasurable, like just be
fine with it. It's funny because I was I saw
a recent mocktail thing where their whole thing was like
like mocktails or just juice.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
It's like it.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Was like sort of like a parenthetical where they're like,
these are good to drink, Like, don't.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Believe it is.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
If you want something that's not like a soda at
this restaurant, try one of these.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
They're fresh.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
But I feel I feel like I switched to just
vodka sodas when I got real serious as a drinker,
and now I feel like I'm switching to virgin vodka
sodas because I'm, you know, getting more experience as a
non drinker. Also, I just want to give a shout
out a little science fairs. Uh happened to be by
one of those this weekend. Got to got to witness

(11:08):
some science experiments and it's like one of those things
like I wouldn't think to google, but I happened to
be by one and took my seven year old to it,
and just lock.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
I happened to be this is very crip what say
little science?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
So we were at U c l A. You know,
I had my younger son with me this time, and
I had totally forgotten that they like do this thing
where like the science department and the Math department like
put on like just all these little booths too little
science experiments, so like legit scientists, yeah, like for real scientists.
But I bet, I bet it's like not uncommon if

(11:45):
you like don't if you live near you know, university,
I bet I bet this is pretty common. And it was.
It was very cool. Got to see some Alca Seltzer tornadoes,
got to look directly at the sun through a telescope,
no matter how how many times they told me not to.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, I mean, don't you do that at your house already?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
But yeah, I don't know. It's just like we started
getting a lot of good like would you rather like
be able to teleport when the lights are out or
be like, I don't know, you know, control gravity, And
then like a lot of a lot of fun thought
experiments from my seven year.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Old shut on my alma mater.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, shout out. Do you see that? All right, myles,
what's something you think is overrated?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Overrated? Okay?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I think this is I don't think it's controversial, but
I think I think poop is overrated.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
I think it's gross.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Wait a second here, hold on, let me finish.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
I think it's gross. I think you get sick if
you play with it, and it's yucky. Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
And this has nothing to do with anything happening at
my home in my personal life, just my objective take
that poop is yucky, it's bad.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
We don't touch it. It's not a toy.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
And if you need to take your diaper off, you
ask mommy and Daddy to help you.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
You don't touch that, Okay. And that's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
People have been saying the same overrated to me for
a long time. Give me that exact same fel and
I'm tired of it. I mean, Daddy will not have it.
Bro the guy it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
The guys child is It's like he is. Yeah, he's
stepping it up. There's an there's been escalation over the
last three mornings where I wake up to some form
of a dexter kill room.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
And I'm like, what the fuck.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
He's like, I'm cleaning it up, and no, you are not, bro,
And I gotta put a haz mad suit on now.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
And it's just so fucking like, I'm like, we don't
play with it. We don't play we don't play with it.
That's right.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
And if I if I feel I say, yeah, mommy dad,
when it comes to playing with poop, we roll our sleeves.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Up in the house.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
So I'm just it's just a very interesting time in my.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Home where I'm like, I just please, don't I don't
I look zeit gang uh any any whatever, whatever your
tips are to try and connect the dots for a child,
that eqal matter is not the new play though. Yeah,
you know, I'm on my ears.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm wielding a lot of power. I will say, like
children there, there's those studies of children where they you know,
they look at how children behave and they'll like drop
a thing just to see their parents have to pick
it up, you know, just to be like, yeah, I
guess his boss and yeah, you know, nothing is more powerful,
Like yeah, he's.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Like, yeah, man, fix this light socket, homie luckileaning that out.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Fix this light socket that I just shitted.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Oh no, dog, why why?

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, I mean like he's got my ass, bro, Yeah,
he's gotten as I don't.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Know the power available to us all.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Coming to a white house.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
You my overrated is just like I don't know, the
lack of new Halloween songs that are like making it
into the first five to ten songs on like your
standard you know, I'm just doing Apple music Halloween playlist
for trigger treaters, and it's really like the newest song

(15:24):
is either thriller, if Somebody's watching Me, whichever one of
those came out most recently, that's the newest that's making
it into the top like ten. But the first ten
songs you hear on like your standard issue, like Apple Music,
it's a.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Ghostbusters, It's a thriller, Monster.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Mash, Monster Mash. There's like some old like spooky Scary
Skale Leaders, Spooky Scary Skeletons, House remix. Yeah, well the
house remix might bring it up to date. I guess
the newest is this is Halloween from uh oh Nightmare
before Christmas. But it just feels like, I don't know,
we've been incorporating new Christmas music into the Pantheon like

(16:07):
pretty regularly, Like since Mariah, there's the CS song, there's
a Kelly Clarkson song. I don't know, like I feel
like they're a good candidate. You know that Rihanna Disturbia
is in there, and like it definitely makes it into
the mix, but it's like more, it's like deeper, you know,
or like Heads Will Roll like that. I feel like
Heads Will Roll is a is a fun song.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
You got to play the remix also.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, yeah, definitely the remix The Hill The Hills by
the Weekend is like getting some play. I feel so
this is my pitch, is that The Weekend like definitely
has his like MJ fetish where he's like trying to
be Michael Jackson a little bit, and like the vibes
of so many songs are like on like the Hills

(16:54):
makes it into Halloween playlists even though it's just like
a song about the Weekend trying to fuck you while
your man's on the road doing promo. Like the first
line is like your man's on the road, he's doing promo. Okay,
So I just feel like The Weekend needs to get
it over with and do a do a straight up

(17:15):
Halloween banger.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah. I mean Brian Thattter makes a point. He said
that is low key scary.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
I mean that's high scary. There's so much that's scary
about the weekend. But like, I just want to I
want to bring that to uh, to the masses.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
He has a way of bringing out like the emotional
darkness of relationships that you're like, oh, God, back home,
I don't.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Love her, no, and she'll never fucking know that.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
You're like, Okay, what the fuck? When you could just
be like I love a scar tune.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
They're so fucking spooky, Like I'm like, yeah, all right, Yeah,
I wonder if it's just because like artists, it's they're
just so like they're so real. Now it's been yeah
them to do something that's like an explicit holiday song.
But again, if you're a business person, that feels like
low hanging fruit.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Like it really That's what I'm saying, Like the industry
is supposed to be good at this shit, good at
selling out, and like they they keep the pressure on
enough that you're getting new Christmas songs. But on the
Halloween side, like Headswell Roll is just like a club
remix of a song that like is not you know,
or spooky scary skeletons is just like that. I mean

(18:29):
that that's probably the most explicit, like we're going to
create a Halloween banger. But like Disturbia, I don't feel
like was intended to be this way, Like nobody's really trying.
I feel like because yeah, Disturbia, yeah the movie. I
think the the reasons are probably one like how uh
you know, Christmas has like two to three weeks for

(18:52):
people to like get used to new songs, like hear
them a couple of times, whereas Halloween music, like you're
really literally playing for a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Top, maybe we should try that.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Jack as a show, we put out a song every
year to try and chart to get into the Halloween
and I feel like it's just a different version of
the monster. Look, you don't realize there's a lot of
musical talent on this team, that so many of us
come from a music background. But we're like, well, podcasting
actually pays money and gives you benefits, so we'll do that.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
And on the idea, Guy, I'm Jerry from the n
W A movie.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Franky Sharp from Sharp Records, going, hey, I need.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
The new Halloween hit. You need the new Halloween bop, Baby,
get it on my desk by tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
But the iron way is then the three black guys
who work on the show, like, yes, boss.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Because we're probably once thinking of the song.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Anyways, the weekend, you have your uh, you have your assignment.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Don't don't make us do it and get this money.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Thank you. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll
be right back to talk about the news. We'll be
right back, and we're back, and let's do a wrap

(20:11):
up of what was happening over the weekend Halloween wise. Yeah,
things that broke through in the zeitgeist. We got a
roaring twenties Gatsby party from Donald Trump down at mar
Lago on the day as like literally as snap funding

(20:31):
was suddenly being cut off on November first due to
the government shutdown, leaving roughly forty two million beneficiaries uncertain
of how they'll pay for groceries next month, they threw
a Gatsby party.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
That's what you got to.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Do, man.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
You're trying to be like, I'm trying to bring about
the French Revolution, right.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Truly, they couldn't be try like if they were trying,
if they were like we want people in the streets
trying to eat us, like they couldn't be doing a
better job.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Somehow, somehow, somehow, Yeah, I mean, like the right now,
there's the potential for the SNAP program to potentially be
funded again, because there are funds that you are meant
to keep the program going because it's a very vital
social safety net. But just because two federal judges say
you need to do that doesn't mean that the administration

(21:20):
is going to it. Sounds like Scott Besson said maybe wednesday.
It could be as early as wednesday, but again I'm
not sure because ideally they want as much chaos as possible.
And with the polling now, I think now fifty two
percent of people pulled are like this is entirely on
Donald Trump and the Republicans. It's also the kind of

(21:40):
thing where maybe Donald Trump's like, well, it's only fifty two,
so we can maybe extending the pain. We can make
it feel like this is a Democrat thing, but.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
It's He literally came out and said that the people
who might starve are largely Democrats. But I'm president. I
want to help everybody. I want to help Democrats and Republicans.
When you're talking about SNAP. If you look, it's largely Democrats.
They're hurting their own people. Yeah, that's interesting how he's
framing it.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I think, just as an aside, the reason he says
something like that is because states like California and New
York are so populated that there are a lot but
like keep in mind Texas, Florida, those are also you
have millions of people receiving benefits.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Those are not.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
What you would call democrat Democrat led states at all,
because most aren't. But again that's just I think the
rhetoric you see and also what you see with I
don't know if you've seen that, like AI slop that's
come out over the last week of fake ass people
SNAP beneficiaries of like fake black women lamenting that they've
lost their coverage or saying like what am I supposed

(22:45):
to do with all these kids? Like really fucking just
cynical shit meant to reinforce is like racist stereotype of
the quote welfare Quinn. Yeah, and there's also even one
with a white woman who is crying on her phone saying.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Like I voted for Trump, I did. I can't believe
I did this to myself, And.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
People are like exactly. That's what you get. Also, Ai, Yeah,
this kind of feels like to me, just watching this
all on Fuld, I'm like, oh, now you're really starting
to see how AI is Like this slop is starting
to sort of bleed its way into the discourse, like
in a serious way where people like I saw this
video of this lady, like that's fucking fully bullshit.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
It was weird when as that woman's crying into the phone,
Chandler from Friends comes in and goes, pizza is here.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
It is here, Yeah, and she goes and then she
wrapped it up like and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
What I'm gonna do, y'all Magnet move break with and that's.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Maybe And then I laughed track and then there's a
sit track for some reason.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
But yeah, I mean this is what the like Project
twenty twenty five was always planning on, Yeah, taking part Snap. Yeah,
And it was like there were a lot of provisions
designed to quietly sabotage Snap. So it's not it's not
a thing where they're going to be in any great

(24:00):
hurry to save this. I think they'll only be forced
by judicial action, it seems like.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
And even then, you know what I mean, like it's
who knows well how low they're going to go. It
seems like there's a lot going on behind but put
behind the scenes to try and find a way to
like get some kind of continuing resolution that like puts
food back in people's tables and things like that, and
tries to fight off the end of like Obamacare and

(24:27):
Medicaid subsidies. But as of like you know, Trump started
the week being like I'm not doing any deals with anybody.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
It's like that's on them.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
They need to vote, and maybe it's and that's that's
where like that thing of the Democrats are going to
hurt more than anyone sort of quote came from.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, so just an update on where snab is that.
So in twenty twenty one, after years of like not
changing how much money people got at all for groceries,
despite the fact that the cost of groceries has like
gone up and up and up and up, the USDA
finally modernized the plan, raising benefits by one dollar and
forty cent per person per day, which you know, helped

(25:04):
people actually afford groceries. And the GOP law in you know,
the Big Beautiful Bill restricts USDA updates to once every
five years, and demands that any future change be cost
neutral aka like no more benefit increases, even if food
prices skyrocket, which that eventuality is already here.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, it's funny to just be like, why even update
at that point if you're saying it had there's good.
I mean, I guess maybe that's where like you can
rebalance it within what we say the you know, how
we fund the program.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, but just to fuck it.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I mean, it's and I think people really underestimate how chaotic,
how tragic, how like how stressful this is for people. Yeah,
that it And I I don't know, like it also
just shows too, Like I the way it's being discussed too,
even in the media. It's just sort of like like
these people are still ponds like in this like larger

(25:56):
political horse race game. Look, and I don't know, these
people are gonna you know, it's gonna be hard for them.
It's like, why don't you start doing some stories about
how to help people, like donate to like a food
bank or be like these kinds of things, because people
that's you're already hearing stories about like you know, like
beefing up law enforcement presence at supermarkets and ship.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
It's that's that's the response. Yeah, that's the response. More
guns around, around, groceries around on.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Affordable the governments also hold grocery stores like don't offer
people discounts if they've had like snap benefits, like, don't
do that. It's very it's very intentional. And I don't
I know that the cruelty is the point. But yeah,
well we'll see.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
I think that.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
I mean, this all also feels.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Like part of the whole playbook to get as much
instability destabilization happening amongst people to then be able to
like tighten the screw when inevident.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I mean, maybe that is maybe that is why he
had a thing called a little party never killed nobody.
In reference to the Great Gaspy movie, sound oh that
we all remember, so we all remember so well, yeah,
that's the most iconic thing having to do with the
Great Gatsby. Yeah. But yeah, he put on a blue
tie for the event, so you know, he was he

(27:12):
was deep in in character.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
He couldn't even do what was it in the the
green light is that they saw?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, green light on the other dock. Yeah, yeah, swilling
towards or some show.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
You get the guy in this photo behind him.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, is he with the gangster face? Oh, the blue face?

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Is he just doing a bunch of colloidal silver?

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I think I think that's not in a costume that
I was just doing colloidal silver.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Aha.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Oh yeah, that's at rfk's table. Okay, that's all right. Yeah, yeah,
I have like other really territions. But I'm just I'm
just I'm just cranking up the col oil silver.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
It's turning my skin a nice silver blue hue.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Guess we're seeing mimicking Roaring twenties era attire, a period
just before the Great Depression that historians note for its
staggering income inequality.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Hum. Interesting, I like how this USA Today thing. History
dot Com notes that.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
It's that's what you got to go to the source,
one place where they have history.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Like this used to be a thing where like you
would have like a historical scholar, maybe a quote from them.
Now no, based on you know, me using AI and
I'm just scraping the internet. First off, History dot Com says, yes,
So Blamehistory dot Com for any inconsistencies.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Yeah, if they if they were a good historian, they
work for History dot com. You know. Other Halloween news
from over the weekend. Uh, Julia Fox were a Jackie
O Halloween costume that was uh pre fucked up dude,
pre fucked up dude. Yeah. So she just wore the

(28:40):
you know, iconic pick outfit that JACKIEO was wearing the
day that Kennedy was shot, and it was covered in
blood and Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy's grandson, claimed that it was
glorifying political violence. She claims that it was like talk
before that, like when her husband was So this was

(29:03):
from her quote about when her husband was assassinated. She
refused to change out of her bloodstained clothes, saying I
want them to see what they've done, which is you know,
interesting dark historical anecdote. You know, she wrote, she wore
that shit all the way back on the plane in
a bunch of like iconic pictures of fucking LBJ being
sworn in. But it's it's still pretty. It's it's kind

(29:25):
of it's a tasteless costume. I'd say, I don't know
that it's fine political violence, but yeah, it's definitely.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Nah.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
I mean, it's just it's it feels history onic. You know,
you're doing that to get your name in like you know,
any attention is good attention.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Any press is good press.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, because I'm like, Julia Fox, wasn't she Dayton Kanye West?

Speaker 1 (29:48):
I think so, I think something I know her from.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
I'm like, isn't that like you can do you can
maybe you can do other stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
I don't know, but sure, uh whatever, get it, get it,
you get it, how you live.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
we're back and uh. The other big Halloween news over
the weekend was the cash pateel Thwar Today Halloween terror

(30:26):
plot between private jet rides. They were supposedly, uh yeah,
it's only supposed to be using the the private jet
for official state business, and he used it to go
down to Nashville.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
To watch like going to arrest Chauncey Billups exactly. That's
what that's what it's for. This guy's as every gentlemen.
We got it, we got him.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Yeah, Chauncey Phillips doing a weird poker.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Game for being like the honey Pot figure to attract
in wealthy gamblers.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Cave.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
That requires the attention of the director of the FBI.
Every time he posts something, you know, it's fucking dumb
and somehow going to fucking back. I remember reading this.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Because this is what he tweeted, quote would the alert emoji,
the siren, the classic saying quote. The FBI stopped a
potential terrorist attack in Michigan before it could unfold. Thanks
to swift action and coordination with our partners, a violent
plot tied to international terrorism was disrupted.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
This is what defending the homeland looks like. Vigilance saves
lives and you're.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Like, oh, wow, okay, well I wonder what happened?

Speaker 3 (31:36):
So then what happened? Who are these people? Were they?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Did they they smuggle in through the border like they say,
like the jihadists do over the border and enter our
country to do us harm?

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Who are these people?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Five young men between the ages of sixteen and twenty
were arrested, and, according to a lawyer representing one of them,
they were literally just part of a gaming chat that
there was like talk of doing something on Pumpkin Day
that they were like that means that means does D
Day a.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Mass casualty event?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Is what is an Okay?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
The lawyer said he expected there would be no charges.
He told that that the young men may have been
looking at questionable content online, but insisted there was no
evidence of a terror platt in any of their communications.
H And told the AP he does not expect formal charges,
but I think they I think they two of them
have been charged. So what we'll see. We'll keep an

(32:31):
eye on it.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
They've been charged with camping in a respond zone.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
That's right, just fucking bullshit for cheese.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
As you can say in the night. They're just cheesing dog.
They're just camping, bro, and we're just going to charge them.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
It's okay.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
So there.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Everything else I've read is like all the kids are like, yeah, dude,
do a forensic analysis on everything I own. I'm literally
a fucking kid talking online like I don't know what
you thought you heard, which does not ode well for
our national security.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
That this is what they're There's just like we kind
of need we kind of need a headline to distract.
I mean, we had our big headline last week, but
we appeared to be protecting rich guys who play in
high stakes poker games. Seems to be like the big
people were standing up to.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, and in this case, either they're so bad like
the people that are doing whatever surveillance on us now
are so bad that they're like, I don't know, dude,
I think the sixteen I think they're up to some
I don't know in this gaming chat they said something
or we are just truly just trying to churn out
headlines that make it look like the FBI does stuff, yeah,
which I think it's a little bit of both, and

(33:41):
they do.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
He had a busy weekend cash hotel. He was also
raged tweeting about claims that he used the FBI sixty
million dollar private jet to watch his girlfriend's concert and
visit her city. First of all, I think the I
think the concert was a performance at like a wrestling thing.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Or something, a wrestling event.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So she just like maybe I don't
know it opened for a wrestling event. Uh. He's like,
she's a fucking country phenom. Anybody who says differently fired God,
And after the story was reported, he also fired the
FBI official responsible for overseeing the agency's fleet of jets, which.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
So that person's fault.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, well, how did.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
They find this out? How did they find this out?
If it wasn't you.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Then, because quote Petel's flight schedules were fully public and
trackable on websites.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Okay, all right, well so we're gonna have to change that. Uh,
sorry about that, Phil or whatever this guy's name was.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
H yikes.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Look, it's interesting to see that he is dating a
country Western music star that he.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Described as country music sensation.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Music sensation, because God, had he been with some one
who wasn't a white, like an avatar for whiteness, things
would go. I mean he already remember I don't know
if we didn't talk about it, but when he was
like happy to VALI, everyone people like, what.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
The fuck is this ship? For his ship?

Speaker 2 (35:11):
This guy is part of a terror attack, and we'll
talk about it probably tomorrow's episode. Because Jade Vance is
currently dealing with my partner not white.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
What that means for my future problem.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
We're working on. Hey, Myles, we're working on it. We're
working on his answer to that.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, we're working on I'm grinding her down until she relents. Look,
I'm just running the colonizer's playbook on my wife.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Okay, that's right, you know, just hey, we're just having
conversations here in which I you know, my beliefs are
that you're going to burn an eternal damnation I.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Don't want that for you. I don't want that for you.
I don't want that for you.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
That's your decision, and that's cool. That's it. I'm supportive
of that.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Honey.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
If you saw me take a bunch of put up
a bunch of cyanide capsules to my mouth, what would
you do? You'd slap them away and say, no, I
care about you. That's what you're doing being Hindu. Fuck,
I hate having this conversation.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Over and over. Now, get your kids out of here.
They're fucking annoying me.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
So the person that was fired has twenty seven years
standing with the FBI, third head of the unit to
be dismissed since Pattel became the second Trump administration's FBI
director in February. So like this again feels like in
the same way that we're now on a path to
test nuclear weapons based on Donald Trump misunderstanding. A headline

(36:31):
like this just feels like he keeps firing these people
every time somebody finds out that he or you know,
Christy nom are using a private jet for their own
personal use. And it's like that that's available, that's available
to it. We can all see that and see that's
right there for us.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
I don't know, And yeah, I don't know what you're
doing except for like decreasing morale even further by just
fucking sacking people who've been there.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
For many years.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
When it's just this is shit that's just publicly available.
That's not a problem. It's your conduct and the fact
that it's transparent. Oh whatever, man, good luck all right.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Speaking of good luck, that's what the royal family said
to Prince Andrew. We talked last week about how he
was getting some of his official titles removed. But you
can't take away the prince. You can't take the prince
out of the guy. You can take the guy out
of the castle, but you can't take the prince out
of the guy because that's technically like not even possible

(37:31):
because he was born that like his mom's queen, so
he don't say. You can't say he not prince. Yea
mom not queen. They said that, and I believed it
because I don't. I don't know any of that shit,
Like I don't care. I couldn't because I couldn't care less.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
I mean, I think we talked about it when it happened.
We're like, oh, no, they're doing the worst thing to him.
He can no longer be called Duke of York and
that's it.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
That's how they're handling.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
This, like we literally can't do anything else. And people
were like, oh no, actually looking at these bilets. Yeah no,
he you could. You can totally say he's not a
prince anymore.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Jack, he's no longer royal knight, companion of the most
noble Order of the Garter.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
And that one's got a staying miles.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
You know, Oh i'd be.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
I feel like I feel like a common drake right
now if that happened to me, I know, like an.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
L I feel like the royal knight, companion of a
not even noble order. You know, this is fucking upsetting.
But anyways, King Charles, you know, got the feedback, uh,
and and stripped his brother Andrew of the title of
prince and ordered him to leave his lavish residence near

(38:49):
Windsor Castle at once. And by it once, I mean like,
you know, take your time.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Time and where and where and where did he gets
out onto the street?

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Miles he's gonna be. He's gonna be like on some
Oliver Twist shit for more cruel Oh I'm sorry, No, weight,
he's going to get to live at an amazing mant.
Andrew's not expected to move from his Windsor mansion to
Sandringham in North Sandringham, Wow, Sandringham. So he's given a

(39:20):
house on the King's private estate in Sandringham. And we'll
receive an income from Charles as well. And by income
from Charles, we of course mean paid for by taxpayers dollars,
because that's what funds.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
Oh sorry, what's your job, Charles?

Speaker 1 (39:36):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (39:36):
Where do you clock in and clock out?

Speaker 1 (39:38):
I totally assumed that the royal family was just like rich,
like off the basis of like historically having all those
crowns and shit like.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
That they have like a Scrooge McDuck, like yeah, golden yeah,
like they've been getting shipped for so long.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
I had when I found out, like I think it
was around the Royal wedding, when I found out that
like they were still being funded actively by taxpayer dollars.
Give me a whole new appreciation for how deep that
royal shit is just embedded into their psyche over there.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
That's not a.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Social day socialism, man, if I've ever seen it, right,
it's a wild socialism.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
In so many places in the world. Like we talk
about the corporate socialism in America like all over the place,
Like we're just bailing these motherfuckers out NonStop because it's
like they've been doing it forever. Yeah, just like instead
of taking care of the people, will take care of
two people and like they'll get to live large, and

(40:45):
then we'll get to hope and like not even hope
that that's us in America. We need to hope that
it's us, you know it ever will be. But like
over there, they're just like it's just cool to see
you know, they're just our special our special guys.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
In these like really uh sick capitalist nations. The worst
thing that can happen is being like a wealthy person
losing it all on having to maybe work again. Yeah,
it's like, oh god god no, no, like we need
bailouts for all of these see no we can, oh
god no. Andrew I also love to that they're like, well,
he's not gonna leave yet, like after the Christmas holidays,

(41:24):
you know, we're not. Yeah, it's not monsters, I mean, yeah, sure.
What we read in Virginia Giuphray's memoir posthumous memoir would
certainly put him firmly in the category of fucking monster. Yes,
but like we are, I mean obviously like think of
him and none of the people that he abused.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
God, he's really like honestly, he is like an animal
that's raised in captivity, you know, and then you're like,
all right, man, go out there in the wild. Like
it would make a great documentary if they actually just
like made him go live in a in a flat
as they call him over there, and like get it,
get a every day. That would be fucking incredible.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Council housing. Yeah, I'd like to see him there, let's see.
But yeah, Brian the edtter says, I don't think we're
gonna see him at Tesco quite yet. Yeah, alright, I'm
gonna go to Tesco later for the meal deal.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Yeah all right. Those are some of the things that
are trending on this Monday morning. We are back tomorrow
with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
your vaccines where you still can't get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy. Nope, we will talk
to you all tomorrow.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
