Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of inviter Trading,
that one courtesy of David Lesser on the discord. My
name is Jack O'Brien. I'm thrilled to be joined as
always by my co host, mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
What's going on doing? Hey? I'm doing? Hey, I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
This is the episode where we tell you what is
trending right now. It is Thursday, early ish morning gish
for us, And how are you doing? What's trending in
your heart? Miles? This, first of all, Yeah, trending up my.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Heart when I'm with Oh, you know it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I showed my kid to the music video Candy by
Mandy Moore.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
He's loving nineties late nineties pop music videos right now.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
How'd you land on that one? Just because he likes Candy? No,
I got notherfucker.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
He just has this like really good, like like a
wonderful capacity to like remember songs and just start singing them.
And like he started singing Pink Pony Club the other
day and we're like, I don't think I laid.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That around you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And then and then like we did once randomly and
he was just kind of singing them out you're like,
it's kind of into some more pop shit. He liked
the Pink Pony Club music video, but like the nineties
ones are so colorful, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Busy, saturate, like the way it's lit. It's just everything
is like perfectly lit from all angles.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I think the Wannabe music video for Spice Girls is
like a long runner the way and one of our
great film just running through that like estate uh.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And he was fucking floored by that one. So yeah, Demi.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Had a show, but I think still is going on,
but he's no longer co hosting a cup punch up
the gym. And they did where they would like take
the stems and like really dive into a song that
they liked and then also rewrite the lyrics to it.
But like they played the stems for Wanna Be that
Spice Girl song, and that I was like fucking blown away.
(02:09):
I was like really, yeah, it's like it sounds amazing,
like when you just like break it down to its
component parts.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
What a song.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Uh, that's where our culture peaked. I'm gonna say it. Yeah,
well that Spice Girls want to be, So tell me
what you want, you really really want? I want that.
I want a spoken word version of that done at
my funeral. Please.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's funny when you watch it now, and I'm like,
it's so funny to see how they hide the non
dancing spice girls in the back.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, do it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
They'll do like one move and then cut away.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Broosh, she you were there to be posh.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Move and then they were like, come on, we gotta go.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We got like that thing. Kick your leg out and
point that arm straight up in the air to the side. Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Move move, move, move, get her to the back the back.
She doesn't know all the choreography Insider Trading. I chose
for the trending title because I just wait, frump arrangement
syndrome because I got Trump deranger syndrome, and the reporting
on what what he's been up to has been pretty wild,
(03:20):
so I just like, we've made offhanded reference to it,
but I really needed to just like see the details
of it to like have it fully locked in for
me that on January sixth, he purchased between five hundred
thousand and one million in Vidia stock. A week later,
the Commerce Department announced permission for Nvidia to sell chips
(03:42):
to Chine Like it's just so on the nose. It's
like everything is just like right ahead of a decision
that he has sway over that he has inside access
to the information he's buying up stock.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That's unfair. Yeah, he has inside information.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
But also he's really into AI tech's AI technology and chips. Dude,
right and chicked. It's all he's It's all he talks about. Dude,
when he said everything's computer, he gets it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's just that over and over again. We just like
got to look at January and January is that over
and over again? Like he bought a bunch of stock
at AMD, another AI chip maker, right before they too,
were granted the right to sell in China. Yeah, purchased
shares and Palenteer for between sixty five and one hundred
and fifty thousand, days before that company secured a billion
(04:32):
dollar contract to provide service to the Department of Homeland Security. Yeah,
which was a pretty big decision for all of our
sakes and future. Yeah, for all of our asses. But
shares an axe on a taser manufacturing firm of them,
and coincidentally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced a plan to
(04:53):
spend two hundred million dollars over five years on new tasers. Yeah,
soon after that. So it's just you know exactly. I mean,
it is sort of what in line with the deal
that his supporters made with themselves. I feel like where
they're like, yeah, he's a selfish businessman that he gets
away with it. But it is just like so on
(05:15):
the nose, blatant fully corrupt at a time when people
are more and more awakening to the reality that things
are financially fucked because all the decisions, all the important
decisions are being made by the wealthiest people in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And you know what, and they deserve it, dude.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And they earned it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay, I won't and I won't define it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And just in case that sixty five thousand, two one
hundred and fifty thousand seems small, I think I don't
know if this got cut, but we were talking about
it yesterday with Joey Clift, possibly before we were recording.
But the idea that Trump like the magazine Spy Magazine
as a as a test was like mailing out checks
(06:02):
to the richest people in New York And they started
with a check for one hundred dollars and then down
to fifty and they were just seeing like who would
cash those checks and it just went like down, so
fifty twenty five dollars all the way down to twenty
five cents, then ten cents and five cents then a penny.
(06:23):
Who was which of these millionaires were cashing these checks?
And wouldn't you know Donald Trump was the only person
who was cashing them all the way to the one
penny check, because that's he knows nothing else, you know, Yeah,
he's got no breaks on his capitalism game, which seems
(06:44):
bad for all of us, but you all knew that.
What you might not have known is who was going
through to the finals in Survivor and Jeff probe spoil
it for all of us.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Wall how do you like on social media or something?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No on the show? So so a big part of
the Survivor's season finale was you know live. They this
is something they do from time to time where they'll
have people on stage, and he spoiled the ending during
the show, so like the decision to air it live
(07:25):
was apparently dictated by a fan vote, and at one
point he brought out a contestant and revealed both the
winner and the loser of the fire making competition, which
determines like who makes it to the final three, even
though they hadn't actually aired that segment yet. But because
(07:45):
it was live, they couldn't just be like, again, you
didn't know where they were in the show, essentially, or
his producers didn't. So let's just play the clip real quick.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So you become the final member of our jury.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Take a spot over here. This is it. Other people
their games fell a little short. But this is the
group that is going to So you hear gaps in
the crowd. So he says, go sit with them, and wait,
why is he sitting with them? And these are the
people that lost because he's about to participate in this
(08:19):
challenge like that is on tape to tape delay, but
he's about to participate in this thing where it's going
to determine if he makes it. And he's like, and
so sit with the losers. These are the people who
came up a little short. And you hear, you hear,
and then here watch his reaction.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay, one more time from the gas people. Their games
fell a little short.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
But this is the group that is going to figure
out what just happened? Is a showman, huh happened? But
up next, we're gonna have one final surprise for the players,
and this surprise, they like, this is gonna be interesting.
(09:02):
Do the Tom Cruise energy.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
That guy on the bench is like, what the fuck
was that? Dude, He's just thinking like, hey, how'd you
fuck that up? Yeah? Oh my god. So then there's
a little bit of confusion, huh after.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
This, Yeah, there's confusion. He plays it off like a pro.
He's like, and that was the last twist of the season,
was that I spoiled it. So Probes is there. People
are finding out. So he's talking to the crowd. He said,
(09:41):
so I came out too soon and they said yeah,
and he said, that's pretty fucked up. Prop doesn't give
a fuck. He's on season fifty. You know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Prope's just fucking cleaned up on Calshi and poly Market
at the same time that fucking happened right there.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Some people defended Ropes by pointing out that he may
not be on his game because his brother died like
a week ago, which is just like, she's fucked up
to have to even why is he working? Then guys,
what the fuck? Yeah? And then also that's fucked but
I thought he was kind of was a pro figured
it out. It also doesn't seem like it's his decision,
(10:20):
Like he's not in charge of scheduling when to bring
people out.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
No, And I'm sure run he had the run of
show probably fucked up in his head when like whatever
package was was supposed to air before The Lives and whatever.
I just like the funniest thing was just to have
that audience go.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Like react immediately and be like what wait, what what
did I do? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Yeah,
he's got he's got big CEO edity. I don't even know.
These guys are crazy over here. Anyways, we're gonna keep
it moving. Everybody's looking, but.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Uhs on my pants again, what do you guys? What
do you guys? Fucking hemming on? Man?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
What they're really the fire? They haven't showed the fire yet.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Anyways, this is a good also metaphor for what it's
like to exist in America around survivor fans. I might
have them, well, but they hadn't shown the fire yet,
and so therefore, and you're just kind of like, uh
oh oh oh.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Damn that it's it's I mean for a show where
like it's supposed to be revealed and that they just
fucked that up.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I get why people just saying wow, yeah, sure, I
get it too. I just from for me as a
non survivor.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I've only seen season one, two and then like a
random one.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Three years ago, so I around them, mate.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And then random clips of Race Wars.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The one that my sister in law was on. Yeah, yeah,
I watched that whole one beginning dannd and I did.
I did get it. I get I get the deal.
It's a it's a fun like the races against each other.
That's what I'm saying. Like not, I didn't take away
from that that I want to watch more Survivor. I
was like, we need more of these race competitions.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Am I ready finally understood David Stearn's vision of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Uh let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll
talk about Walmart. Their earnings report had some pretty surprising information.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I learned some things.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And we're back. Yeah, and uh so Walmart had big
earnings report, which we were all on the edge of
our seat because we're all, you know, my big investor.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, absolutely, and like because they are the you know,
nation's largest private employer, you get to learn a lot
about what's happening in America, and I like, and I
guess this. I don't know if you've heard the news, Jack,
people are under financial stress, which if there are.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Some words that say that, and that would be good
for Walmart's earnings and that So the only way that
affects me is that I'm doubling down on my Walmart investments.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Miles.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I asked the facilities manager of my estate if he
was under financial stress, and he said things are going
great for him, and so I was like, well, if
my own facilities manager of my estate is doing okay,
then and that's the poorest person I know.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
And you did ask him, you're not under financial stress,
are you? Are you?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I said that when he asked for a meager raise, right, yeah,
what are you under financial stress?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, no, no, no enough. Do you need help managing
your money? Because I could give you some advice on that, maybe,
but more money.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Quit buying those weird grills for your daughter. Uh those
are braces for her teeth? Yeah, all right, fool okay, Yeah,
you're going for some ball or shit. Dude, you're not
even pulling it off. She ain't Paul Wall. But anyway,
all jokes aside. They had their first quarter earnings report
and they said, hey, man, and revenue rows seven point
three percent, and also same store sales grew four point
(14:05):
one percent. Hey, and they're like, okay, great, great, great,
But they are saying that it's like you know they
are They're like, but we can tell that consumers are
under pressure. Fuel costs are a huge indication. We're also
getting a lot of high inc Like, we're getting new
people coming into Walmart because prices are so fucked that
(14:28):
it's expanding our customer base. They said, quote, the high
income customer is spending with confidence into many categories, while
the lower income consumer is more budget conscious and perhaps
navigating fin perhaps navigating financial stress. The one thing that
they said, here's how we know people are broke. Quote
the number of gallons that customer fill up with when
(14:50):
they come to our fuel stations fell below ten for
the first time since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's an indication is stress. M hmm. Yeah, we had
to guys, we got some we got some troubling data
here that we apparently and this is the first place
for some Yeah, this is this is how America experiences
financial stress. Is Walmart earnings are up, yeah, because more
(15:17):
poor people are having to shop there.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
They can't even put a Kroger. I'm like wow. And
also the Brokies are buying less than ten gallons of
gas for the holy shit. Yeah yeah, so news for
for them.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm not sure what what that means for their overall
business plan. They're probably like it's probably gonna be like
the same thing with Disney, where they're like, oh, man,
I fuck the poor people.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Like if rich people are in the pay more than
up the fucking volume on everything.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Crank it up. Man.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
We're not rolling back prices, motherfucker. We're rolling them up.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The people who greet you are no longer the elderly,
they get like young, looksmaxing people at the.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Will be there. Yeah. Cut the builder.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah yeah, we're trying to create a luxury brand around
world Walmart.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
We're not rolling back prices. We're rolling up the consumer.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
In a spliff, smoking on y'all, Senate Republicans, how are
we feeling there? There's been some new numbers out that, uh,
you know, Donald Trump's pulling just keeps going lower and lower,
impossibly low. I think thirty one percent was the latest
number I saw.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh, for approval.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Wow, yeah, thirty one it's new, you know, great, that's
going to Robin's baby.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, thirty one, thirty one percentage flavors.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I mean, I think you know the big thing that
Senate Republicans have been talking about and everyone's been like wondering,
like this one billion dollar price tag they're trying to
sneak into a bill to pay for the fucking ballroom
slash military Heidi Hole where the East Wing was once stood.
And apparently Republicans have taken their time and to finally
(16:55):
realize that this plan would not be a good look
for they're already not good good mid term prospects quote center.
Republican leaders are expected to ditch a one billion dollar
proposal for security measures tied to Donald Trump's White House
ballroom following a backlash from members of their own party.
Under pressure fro Trump, top Republican lawmakers tried to latch
the proposal onto a seventy billion dollar builder restore funding
(17:17):
to Ice and custom and the Border Patrol, but the
plan prompted intense anxiety among congressional Republicans, who feared diverting
taxpayer dollars towards Trump's East Wing modernization project amid mounting
cost of living concerns across the US would risk alienating.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Voters ahead of the midterms.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
So, and grocery prices are allegedly about to go up. Yeah,
I didn't realize that the So the Walmart, even though
their money went up, they it was worse than expected.
Outlook from walmytah Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I mean I didn't want to bring that up because
that's that's between us, the stockholders, to figure out if
we need new leadership installed.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That's right. Yeah, man, seems bad, like a bad time
to be focused on building a new ballroom and golf course.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's because, I mean, I think it's just so funny,
like we're watching these people trying to reconcile their absolute
disconnect from working people's realities. Yeah, like they're like, what
the Oh yeah, I guess it's bad. I mean I
knew people were. I mean, I know the prices are
going up. I just don't know what that means for
their human experience. So what I just figure they think.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh, yeah, we're proving in a billion dollars for a thing.
They that they're not going to care, and they do.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
They do care. It turns out and we're just learning
this through our earnings reports, the only reports that I
pay attention to. Miles, what do I always say money
money talks, and.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You also say salaries are for suckers.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Salaries are That's right?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, we should have said that to Joey when you're
talking about lifting yesterday. I was like, yeah, I mean
to gains, dude, unrealized gains on us.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, we're gonna be talking about some unrealized gains tomorrow.
You know what I'm talking about. I mean, yeah, I
think I'm just talking about Jeff Bezos strategy for.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
You have one huge calf muscle on your What the fuck?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think that's a tumor. Man, I didn't realize how
I didn't really realize how bad this was.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Games were on this one.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Katie Miller's podcast still still out here, rocking, still still
really good. That's uh.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I mean, we tried to have a meeting with her,
but she just just wouldn't wouldn't budge on.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Still the best out here doing it.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Hey, Katie, we we love you.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I know, it's just funny because her podcast is just
it's she continues to just have these cabinet members on
her people on and the episodes always render some weird
SoundBite of like finding about about her husband only like
like loving to eat mayonnaise and copious amounts, or just
people just telling on themselves in these weird ways trying
to be relatable, and.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
It's like a discombination of like a political insider talk
show and like Midnight like the freak Show at like
a carnival in the thirties, where she's like, bring out
the freak and I'll give you a little I'll give
you a little spoonful of details of my freak husband
and like what he's like behind closed doors. Yeah, sometimes
(20:14):
he'll bite the head off her raw chicken.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, and then he'll eat the head he can all.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
But she had energy Secretary Chris right on one of
the like whenever we've covered those, like dear Leader roundtable meetings,
hush Wright is consistently debasing himself before the god Emperor
to be like, Sir, under your leadership, we did not
even have electricity prior to you being our god. So
he was on with his wife Liz and Katie Miller.
(20:43):
Perfect question to ask. I gotta say this is she's
doing good work because he goes what's a conspiracy theory
that you believe in, And you're like, oh God.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
You're asking fucking Congression.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You're talking Republican Habinet members about a conspiracy theory they
believe in.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Let's find out what it is. It's I honestly can't wait.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It kind of fits in with the bodycam thing that
they were trying to have preschool teachers do. But here's
here's Liz right taking it away.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What's the conspiracy theory that you believe in. I am
not a conspiracy theory person.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I wouldn't even and unless I stay political, and I
think conspiracies at the teachers unions want to keep the
students stupid so they can control them and turn them
into Democrats.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But that's a good conspiracy theory. That's really good. That's
a new one we haven't heard yet.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's a new one we haven't third yet.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It's just sort of like it's sort of underpins all
of our policy decisions.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I haven't heard that one. That's reality, Liz. That is
what Katie was about to say.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
So popular with rich people especially like that. That was
something from the Steve Jobs episode that I didn't have
time to get to. But he met with Obama once
and Steve and like immediately started ranting about teachers union,
how teachers unions are the thing that's uh the problem
with America. Those those his first complaint.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I mean, yeah, the idea that teachers who are are
pretty much they have a thankless job in this country. Yeah,
taking care of our kids every day, educating them.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That yeah, that that union, that their goal is that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I mean, our whole thing is we want more money
so that kids can be fucking stupid, right, you know
that's what that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
But I just like the thing it is, like so
they can control them and turn them into democrats.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It is so fucking it's really good. Okay, okay, okay.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, there's a pro golfer. Have you
heard of Bryson D. Shambo. No, he's like a controversial figure.
He's like had feuds with some of the better pro golfers.
I think I only like I vaguely hear about him
(22:56):
from my friends who are into golf, and immediate like
it's like I before I can turn my brain off, yeah,
you know, I just like get a little little snippet.
But anyways, he's apparently good friends with Donald Trump, and
also just keeps fucking up. He missed out on the
cut at the Masters and the USPGA Championship, which is
(23:17):
like worse than missing the playoffs because it's like more
than half of or I guess it's exactly the same
as missing the playoffs, and like professional basketball, he keeps
missing the playoffs. And he went on Katie Miller's podcast
this week. One clip from the show has gone viral.
In it, he expresses his doubts so that she has
(23:40):
these people on and is like, what's one conspiracy theory
he believed in? Over and over again. His answer was,
he has his doubts about the moon landing, but he
does believe. And this is again, she keeps finding new
conspiracy theories that we haven't heard before. Believe that people
have visited the moon, but he doesn't think that the
(24:00):
footage is real. So they did the work of getting there,
the really hard thing, but they faked the footage.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It's the dumbest like, all right, let me jack, and
I don't want to twist his words.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Okay, let me hear from mister Rochambeau.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Do you believe they actually played golf on the Moon.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Oh I don't hear because I don't know. Look, Alon
says we've definitely gone there, so I and he's like
that route because he's the man that knows quite a
bit about all that. Artemist just went around the moon.
So I do believe if we spent a lot of
our resources like we like they say we did, I
(24:40):
think we did. I don't think the footage is real,
but I think we.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Didn't go to the Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
She's like, you're fucking.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
It was quite it's quite well, I.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Think, belly laughing at the stage, What the are you
talking about? It is such a lukewarm thing to be like,
because the offensive thing about being like, we never to
the moon, it's like sort of just completely denying the
science of it, all right, Whereas he's like, yeah, we
got there, just like that one videos face, the production
quality was not I was not there. It's like you're
(25:11):
trying to sound reasonable while being a total moron. At
the same time. You're like, well, I'm not gonna be
out here and deny that we got to the moon.
But I have to hold on to that little piece
that the fucking footage was fake.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Fucking golfers man, fucking golfers. Uh. And finally, speaking of
production quality, rip Stephen. Colbert's final episode will air tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah yeah, it's pretty night, sweet Prince. Uh, thank you,
Barry Wise, very wise, very nice.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Apparently there's gonna be a there's like a lot of
talk about maybe a shakeup over her leadership at CBS,
and I'm failing to understand why could it be, because
like they're just shooting themselves in the foot constantly and
being like, hey, this thing isn't making as much money
with all these wacky decisions we're making.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Hey, every decision you've made has ashed the plane into
the side of a mountain. Is that? Is that on purpose?
Can you explain that at all?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
M I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm totally ill equipped for the position you put me in.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And we have noticed on the conservative side of things, well,
it's just a wilderness of errors and fuck ups just everywhere.
The people who get fired for them tend to be
a woman. So yeah, she's probably Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It sucks for Colbert.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I mean, like it's this is like, you know, truly
one of the last remaining late night talk shows. And
I think our whole you know, pr machine has sort
of shifted away from like you go on Late night
to pitch a show to now being like you go
on a.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Podcast, yeah, to show.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
God, guys, don't don't don't come here. We don't know anything.
I mean we haven't.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Is it just fallin at this point?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, Kimmel, Kimmel still, Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Kimmel and Kimmel and fallon yea, the last Jimmy's the
two genders. The two final genders get sorted into two categories.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Are you a Kimmel or are you which is actually
kind of fitting. It's like, what what flavor of liberal
are you?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah? Either pet?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I have pet Donald Trump's head.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I don't know how dangerous this is.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Just I just like want everybody to have fun. Like
we actually we like go out of our way to
like be a political actually on the show. So like
we're just like trying to have fun, you know, and
like trying to lipsick with anybody who wants.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
To knock in my door. Someone's got a bunch of
military equipment. They're kicking it down. What's going on? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Anyways?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:43):

Stephen Colbert Show, and I'm sure he'll be.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I've just got that ring ship coming out, dude.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Ever since Conan like was so excited to take over
the Carson Show, it was just like, I don't know, man,
Like this is on the list of like things that
it would be fun to see Conan do, Like doing
a more mainstream version of the late night show that
(28:12):
he was already doing was like probably one hundredth on
my list, you know, And like I've just always felt
like this is probably not the best use of these
people's talents. Conin's podcast is incredible, like just letting them
be very funny in ways that people it really feels
(28:33):
like we're coasting off inertia. That like these late night
shows are like phone books, you know, they're just hanging
around because they were around.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
People born in half by Miles of party drunk.
Speaker 1 (28:44):

that's gonna do it for this afternoon. We are back
tomorrow morning with a whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself. Yeah,

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of inviter Trading,

name is Jack O'Brien. I'm thrilled to be joined as
always by my co host, mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
What's going on doing? Hey? I'm doing? Hey, I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
This is the episode where we tell you what is
trending right now. It is Thursday, early ish morning gish
for us, And how are you doing? What's trending in
your heart? Miles? This, first of all, Yeah, trending up my.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Heart when I'm with Oh, you know it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I showed my kid to the music video Candy by
Mandy Moore.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
He's loving nineties late nineties pop music videos right now.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
How'd you land on that one? Just because he likes Candy? No,
I got notherfucker.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
He just has this like really good, like like a
wonderful capacity to like remember songs and just start singing them.
And like he started singing Pink Pony Club the other
day and we're like, I don't think I laid.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That around you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
And then and then like we did once randomly and
he was just kind of singing them out you're like,
it's kind of into some more pop shit. He liked
the Pink Pony Club music video, but like the nineties
ones are so colorful, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Busy, saturate, like the way it's lit. It's just everything
is like perfectly lit from all angles.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I think the Wannabe music video for Spice Girls is
like a long runner the way and one of our
great film just running through that like estate uh.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And he was fucking floored by that one. So yeah, Demi.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Had a show, but I think still is going on,
but he's no longer co hosting a cup punch up
the gym. And they did where they would like take
the stems and like really dive into a song that
they liked and then also rewrite the lyrics to it.
But like they played the stems for Wanna Be that
Spice Girl song, and that I was like fucking blown away.
(02:09):
I was like really, yeah, it's like it sounds amazing,
like when you just like break it down to its
component parts.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
What a song.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Uh, that's where our culture peaked. I'm gonna say it. Yeah,
well that Spice Girls want to be, So tell me
what you want, you really really want? I want that.
I want a spoken word version of that done at
my funeral. Please.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's funny when you watch it now, and I'm like,
it's so funny to see how they hide the non
dancing spice girls in the back.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, do it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
They'll do like one move and then cut away.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Broosh, she you were there to be posh.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Move and then they were like, come on, we gotta go.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We got like that thing. Kick your leg out and
point that arm straight up in the air to the side. Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Move move, move, move, get her to the back the back.
She doesn't know all the choreography Insider Trading. I chose
for the trending title because I just wait, frump arrangement
syndrome because I got Trump deranger syndrome, and the reporting
on what what he's been up to has been pretty wild,
(03:20):
so I just like, we've made offhanded reference to it,
but I really needed to just like see the details
of it to like have it fully locked in for
me that on January sixth, he purchased between five hundred
thousand and one million in Vidia stock. A week later,
the Commerce Department announced permission for Nvidia to sell chips
(03:42):
to Chine Like it's just so on the nose. It's
like everything is just like right ahead of a decision
that he has sway over that he has inside access
to the information he's buying up stock.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That's unfair. Yeah, he has inside information.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
But also he's really into AI tech's AI technology and chips. Dude,
right and chicked. It's all he's It's all he talks about. Dude,
when he said everything's computer, he gets it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's just that over and over again. We just like
got to look at January and January is that over
and over again? Like he bought a bunch of stock
at AMD, another AI chip maker, right before they too,
were granted the right to sell in China. Yeah, purchased
shares and Palenteer for between sixty five and one hundred
and fifty thousand, days before that company secured a billion
(04:32):
dollar contract to provide service to the Department of Homeland Security. Yeah,
which was a pretty big decision for all of our
sakes and future. Yeah, for all of our asses. But
shares an axe on a taser manufacturing firm of them,
and coincidentally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced a plan to
(04:53):
spend two hundred million dollars over five years on new tasers. Yeah,
soon after that. So it's just you know exactly. I mean,
it is sort of what in line with the deal
that his supporters made with themselves. I feel like where
they're like, yeah, he's a selfish businessman that he gets
away with it. But it is just like so on
(05:15):
the nose, blatant fully corrupt at a time when people
are more and more awakening to the reality that things
are financially fucked because all the decisions, all the important
decisions are being made by the wealthiest people in the world.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And you know what, and they deserve it, dude.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And they earned it.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Okay, I won't and I won't define it.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And just in case that sixty five thousand, two one
hundred and fifty thousand seems small, I think I don't
know if this got cut, but we were talking about
it yesterday with Joey Clift, possibly before we were recording.
But the idea that Trump like the magazine Spy Magazine
as a as a test was like mailing out checks
(06:02):
to the richest people in New York And they started
with a check for one hundred dollars and then down
to fifty and they were just seeing like who would
cash those checks and it just went like down, so
fifty twenty five dollars all the way down to twenty
five cents, then ten cents and five cents then a penny.
(06:23):
Who was which of these millionaires were cashing these checks?
And wouldn't you know Donald Trump was the only person
who was cashing them all the way to the one
penny check, because that's he knows nothing else, you know, Yeah,
he's got no breaks on his capitalism game, which seems
(06:44):
bad for all of us, but you all knew that.
What you might not have known is who was going
through to the finals in Survivor and Jeff probe spoil
it for all of us.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Wall how do you like on social media or something?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No on the show? So so a big part of
the Survivor's season finale was you know live. They this
is something they do from time to time where they'll
have people on stage, and he spoiled the ending during
the show, so like the decision to air it live
(07:25):
was apparently dictated by a fan vote, and at one
point he brought out a contestant and revealed both the
winner and the loser of the fire making competition, which
determines like who makes it to the final three, even
though they hadn't actually aired that segment yet. But because
(07:45):
it was live, they couldn't just be like, again, you
didn't know where they were in the show, essentially, or
his producers didn't. So let's just play the clip real quick.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So you become the final member of our jury.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Take a spot over here. This is it. Other people
their games fell a little short. But this is the
group that is going to So you hear gaps in
the crowd. So he says, go sit with them, and wait,
why is he sitting with them? And these are the
people that lost because he's about to participate in this
(08:19):
challenge like that is on tape to tape delay, but
he's about to participate in this thing where it's going
to determine if he makes it. And he's like, and
so sit with the losers. These are the people who
came up a little short. And you hear, you hear,
and then here watch his reaction.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Okay, one more time from the gas people. Their games
fell a little short.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
But this is the group that is going to figure
out what just happened? Is a showman, huh happened? But
up next, we're gonna have one final surprise for the players,
and this surprise, they like, this is gonna be interesting.
(09:02):
Do the Tom Cruise energy.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
That guy on the bench is like, what the fuck
was that? Dude, He's just thinking like, hey, how'd you
fuck that up? Yeah? Oh my god. So then there's
a little bit of confusion, huh after.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
This, Yeah, there's confusion. He plays it off like a pro.
He's like, and that was the last twist of the season,
was that I spoiled it. So Probes is there. People
are finding out. So he's talking to the crowd. He said,
(09:41):
so I came out too soon and they said yeah,
and he said, that's pretty fucked up. Prop doesn't give
a fuck. He's on season fifty. You know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Prope's just fucking cleaned up on Calshi and poly Market
at the same time that fucking happened right there.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Some people defended Ropes by pointing out that he may
not be on his game because his brother died like
a week ago, which is just like, she's fucked up
to have to even why is he working? Then guys,
what the fuck? Yeah? And then also that's fucked but
I thought he was kind of was a pro figured
it out. It also doesn't seem like it's his decision,
(10:20):
Like he's not in charge of scheduling when to bring
people out.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
No, And I'm sure run he had the run of
show probably fucked up in his head when like whatever
package was was supposed to air before The Lives and whatever.
I just like the funniest thing was just to have
that audience go.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Like react immediately and be like what wait, what what
did I do? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter. Yeah,
he's got he's got big CEO edity. I don't even know.
These guys are crazy over here. Anyways, we're gonna keep
it moving. Everybody's looking, but.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Uhs on my pants again, what do you guys? What
do you guys? Fucking hemming on? Man?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
What they're really the fire? They haven't showed the fire yet.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Anyways, this is a good also metaphor for what it's
like to exist in America around survivor fans. I might
have them, well, but they hadn't shown the fire yet,
and so therefore, and you're just kind of like, uh
oh oh oh.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Damn that it's it's I mean for a show where
like it's supposed to be revealed and that they just
fucked that up.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I get why people just saying wow, yeah, sure, I
get it too. I just from for me as a
non survivor.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I've only seen season one, two and then like a
random one.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Three years ago, so I around them, mate.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And then random clips of Race Wars.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
The one that my sister in law was on. Yeah, yeah,
I watched that whole one beginning dannd and I did.
I did get it. I get I get the deal.
It's a it's a fun like the races against each other.
That's what I'm saying. Like not, I didn't take away
from that that I want to watch more Survivor. I
was like, we need more of these race competitions.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Am I ready finally understood David Stearn's vision of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Uh let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll
talk about Walmart. Their earnings report had some pretty surprising information.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I learned some things.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And we're back. Yeah, and uh so Walmart had big
earnings report, which we were all on the edge of
our seat because we're all, you know, my big investor.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, absolutely, and like because they are the you know,
nation's largest private employer, you get to learn a lot
about what's happening in America, and I like, and I
guess this. I don't know if you've heard the news, Jack,
people are under financial stress, which if there are.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Some words that say that, and that would be good
for Walmart's earnings and that So the only way that
affects me is that I'm doubling down on my Walmart investments.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Miles.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I asked the facilities manager of my estate if he
was under financial stress, and he said things are going
great for him, and so I was like, well, if
my own facilities manager of my estate is doing okay,
then and that's the poorest person I know.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
And you did ask him, you're not under financial stress,
are you? Are you?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I said that when he asked for a meager raise, right, yeah,
what are you under financial stress?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, no, no, no enough. Do you need help managing
your money? Because I could give you some advice on that, maybe,
but more money.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Quit buying those weird grills for your daughter. Uh those
are braces for her teeth? Yeah, all right, fool okay, Yeah,
you're going for some ball or shit. Dude, you're not
even pulling it off. She ain't Paul Wall. But anyway,
all jokes aside. They had their first quarter earnings report
and they said, hey, man, and revenue rows seven point
three percent, and also same store sales grew four point
(14:05):
one percent. Hey, and they're like, okay, great, great, great,
But they are saying that it's like you know they
are They're like, but we can tell that consumers are
under pressure. Fuel costs are a huge indication. We're also
getting a lot of high inc Like, we're getting new
people coming into Walmart because prices are so fucked that
(14:28):
it's expanding our customer base. They said, quote, the high
income customer is spending with confidence into many categories, while
the lower income consumer is more budget conscious and perhaps
navigating fin perhaps navigating financial stress. The one thing that
they said, here's how we know people are broke. Quote
the number of gallons that customer fill up with when
(14:50):
they come to our fuel stations fell below ten for
the first time since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's an indication is stress. M hmm. Yeah, we had
to guys, we got some we got some troubling data
here that we apparently and this is the first place
for some Yeah, this is this is how America experiences
financial stress. Is Walmart earnings are up, yeah, because more
(15:17):
poor people are having to shop there.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
They can't even put a Kroger. I'm like wow. And
also the Brokies are buying less than ten gallons of
gas for the holy shit. Yeah yeah, so news for
for them.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I'm not sure what what that means for their overall
business plan. They're probably like it's probably gonna be like
the same thing with Disney, where they're like, oh, man,
I fuck the poor people.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Like if rich people are in the pay more than
up the fucking volume on everything.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Crank it up. Man.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
We're not rolling back prices, motherfucker. We're rolling them up.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The people who greet you are no longer the elderly,
they get like young, looksmaxing people at the.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Will be there. Yeah. Cut the builder.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah yeah, we're trying to create a luxury brand around
world Walmart.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
We're not rolling back prices. We're rolling up the consumer.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
In a spliff, smoking on y'all, Senate Republicans, how are
we feeling there? There's been some new numbers out that, uh,
you know, Donald Trump's pulling just keeps going lower and lower,
impossibly low. I think thirty one percent was the latest
number I saw.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Oh, for approval.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Wow, yeah, thirty one it's new, you know, great, that's
going to Robin's baby.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, thirty one, thirty one percentage flavors.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
I mean, I think you know the big thing that
Senate Republicans have been talking about and everyone's been like wondering,
like this one billion dollar price tag they're trying to
sneak into a bill to pay for the fucking ballroom
slash military Heidi Hole where the East Wing was once stood.
And apparently Republicans have taken their time and to finally
(16:55):
realize that this plan would not be a good look
for they're already not good good mid term prospects quote center.
Republican leaders are expected to ditch a one billion dollar
proposal for security measures tied to Donald Trump's White House
ballroom following a backlash from members of their own party.
Under pressure fro Trump, top Republican lawmakers tried to latch
the proposal onto a seventy billion dollar builder restore funding
(17:17):
to Ice and custom and the Border Patrol, but the
plan prompted intense anxiety among congressional Republicans, who feared diverting
taxpayer dollars towards Trump's East Wing modernization project amid mounting
cost of living concerns across the US would risk alienating.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Voters ahead of the midterms.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
So, and grocery prices are allegedly about to go up. Yeah,
I didn't realize that the So the Walmart, even though
their money went up, they it was worse than expected.
Outlook from walmytah Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I mean I didn't want to bring that up because
that's that's between us, the stockholders, to figure out if
we need new leadership installed.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That's right. Yeah, man, seems bad, like a bad time
to be focused on building a new ballroom and golf course.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's because, I mean, I think it's just so funny,
like we're watching these people trying to reconcile their absolute
disconnect from working people's realities. Yeah, like they're like, what
the Oh yeah, I guess it's bad. I mean I
knew people were. I mean, I know the prices are
going up. I just don't know what that means for
their human experience. So what I just figure they think.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh, yeah, we're proving in a billion dollars for a thing.
They that they're not going to care, and they do.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
They do care. It turns out and we're just learning
this through our earnings reports, the only reports that I
pay attention to. Miles, what do I always say money
money talks, and.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You also say salaries are for suckers.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Salaries are That's right?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, we should have said that to Joey when you're
talking about lifting yesterday. I was like, yeah, I mean
to gains, dude, unrealized gains on us.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, we're gonna be talking about some unrealized gains tomorrow.
You know what I'm talking about. I mean, yeah, I
think I'm just talking about Jeff Bezos strategy for.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
You have one huge calf muscle on your What the fuck?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think that's a tumor. Man, I didn't realize how
I didn't really realize how bad this was.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Games were on this one.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Katie Miller's podcast still still out here, rocking, still still
really good. That's uh.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I mean, we tried to have a meeting with her,
but she just just wouldn't wouldn't budge on.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Still the best out here doing it.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Hey, Katie, we we love you.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I know, it's just funny because her podcast is just
it's she continues to just have these cabinet members on
her people on and the episodes always render some weird
SoundBite of like finding about about her husband only like
like loving to eat mayonnaise and copious amounts, or just
people just telling on themselves in these weird ways trying
to be relatable, and.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
It's like a discombination of like a political insider talk
show and like Midnight like the freak Show at like
a carnival in the thirties, where she's like, bring out
the freak and I'll give you a little I'll give
you a little spoonful of details of my freak husband
and like what he's like behind closed doors. Yeah, sometimes
(20:14):
he'll bite the head off her raw chicken.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah, and then he'll eat the head he can all.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
But she had energy Secretary Chris right on one of
the like whenever we've covered those, like dear Leader roundtable meetings,
hush Wright is consistently debasing himself before the god Emperor
to be like, Sir, under your leadership, we did not
even have electricity prior to you being our god. So
he was on with his wife Liz and Katie Miller.
(20:43):
Perfect question to ask. I gotta say this is she's
doing good work because he goes what's a conspiracy theory
that you believe in, And you're like, oh God.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
You're asking fucking Congression.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You're talking Republican Habinet members about a conspiracy theory they
believe in.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Let's find out what it is. It's I honestly can't wait.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It kind of fits in with the bodycam thing that
they were trying to have preschool teachers do. But here's
here's Liz right taking it away.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What's the conspiracy theory that you believe in. I am
not a conspiracy theory person.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I wouldn't even and unless I stay political, and I
think conspiracies at the teachers unions want to keep the
students stupid so they can control them and turn them
into Democrats.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But that's a good conspiracy theory. That's really good. That's
a new one we haven't heard yet.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
That's a new one we haven't third yet.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
It's just sort of like it's sort of underpins all
of our policy decisions.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I haven't heard that one. That's reality, Liz. That is
what Katie was about to say.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
So popular with rich people especially like that. That was
something from the Steve Jobs episode that I didn't have
time to get to. But he met with Obama once
and Steve and like immediately started ranting about teachers union,
how teachers unions are the thing that's uh the problem
with America. Those those his first complaint.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
I mean, yeah, the idea that teachers who are are
pretty much they have a thankless job in this country. Yeah,
taking care of our kids every day, educating them.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
That yeah, that that union, that their goal is that.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I mean, our whole thing is we want more money
so that kids can be fucking stupid, right, you know
that's what that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
But I just like the thing it is, like so
they can control them and turn them into democrats.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It is so fucking it's really good. Okay, okay, okay.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, there's a pro golfer. Have you
heard of Bryson D. Shambo. No, he's like a controversial figure.
He's like had feuds with some of the better pro golfers.
I think I only like I vaguely hear about him
(22:56):
from my friends who are into golf, and immediate like
it's like I before I can turn my brain off, yeah,
you know, I just like get a little little snippet.
But anyways, he's apparently good friends with Donald Trump, and
also just keeps fucking up. He missed out on the
cut at the Masters and the USPGA Championship, which is
(23:17):
like worse than missing the playoffs because it's like more
than half of or I guess it's exactly the same
as missing the playoffs, and like professional basketball, he keeps
missing the playoffs. And he went on Katie Miller's podcast
this week. One clip from the show has gone viral.
In it, he expresses his doubts so that she has
(23:40):
these people on and is like, what's one conspiracy theory
he believed in? Over and over again. His answer was,
he has his doubts about the moon landing, but he
does believe. And this is again, she keeps finding new
conspiracy theories that we haven't heard before. Believe that people
have visited the moon, but he doesn't think that the
(24:00):
footage is real. So they did the work of getting there,
the really hard thing, but they faked the footage.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
It's the dumbest like, all right, let me jack, and
I don't want to twist his words.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Okay, let me hear from mister Rochambeau.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Do you believe they actually played golf on the Moon.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Oh I don't hear because I don't know. Look, Alon
says we've definitely gone there, so I and he's like
that route because he's the man that knows quite a
bit about all that. Artemist just went around the moon.
So I do believe if we spent a lot of
our resources like we like they say we did, I
(24:40):
think we did. I don't think the footage is real,
but I think we.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Didn't go to the Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
She's like, you're fucking.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
It was quite it's quite well, I.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Think, belly laughing at the stage, What the are you
talking about? It is such a lukewarm thing to be like,
because the offensive thing about being like, we never to
the moon, it's like sort of just completely denying the
science of it, all right, Whereas he's like, yeah, we
got there, just like that one videos face, the production
quality was not I was not there. It's like you're
(25:11):
trying to sound reasonable while being a total moron. At
the same time. You're like, well, I'm not gonna be
out here and deny that we got to the moon.
But I have to hold on to that little piece
that the fucking footage was fake.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Fucking golfers man, fucking golfers. Uh. And finally, speaking of
production quality, rip Stephen. Colbert's final episode will air tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Yeah yeah, it's pretty night, sweet Prince. Uh, thank you,
Barry Wise, very wise, very nice.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Apparently there's gonna be a there's like a lot of
talk about maybe a shakeup over her leadership at CBS,
and I'm failing to understand why could it be, because
like they're just shooting themselves in the foot constantly and
being like, hey, this thing isn't making as much money
with all these wacky decisions we're making.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Hey, every decision you've made has ashed the plane into
the side of a mountain. Is that? Is that on purpose?
Can you explain that at all?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
M I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm totally ill equipped for the position you put me in.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And we have noticed on the conservative side of things, well,
it's just a wilderness of errors and fuck ups just everywhere.
The people who get fired for them tend to be
a woman. So yeah, she's probably Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It sucks for Colbert.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I mean, like it's this is like, you know, truly
one of the last remaining late night talk shows. And
I think our whole you know, pr machine has sort
of shifted away from like you go on Late night
to pitch a show to now being like you go
on a.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Podcast, yeah, to show.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
God, guys, don't don't don't come here. We don't know anything.
I mean we haven't.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Is it just fallin at this point?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, Kimmel, Kimmel still, Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, Kimmel.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Kimmel and Kimmel and fallon yea, the last Jimmy's the
two genders. The two final genders get sorted into two categories.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Are you a Kimmel or are you which is actually
kind of fitting. It's like, what what flavor of liberal
are you?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah? Either pet?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I have pet Donald Trump's head.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
I don't know how dangerous this is.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Just I just like want everybody to have fun. Like
we actually we like go out of our way to
like be a political actually on the show. So like
we're just like trying to have fun, you know, and
like trying to lipsick with anybody who wants.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
To knock in my door. Someone's got a bunch of
military equipment. They're kicking it down. What's going on? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Anyways?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Are a Peter Stephen Colbert, The Show, The Show, The
Stephen Colbert Show, and I'm sure he'll be.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I've just got that ring ship coming out, dude.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Ever since Conan like was so excited to take over
the Carson Show, it was just like, I don't know, man,
Like this is on the list of like things that
it would be fun to see Conan do, Like doing
a more mainstream version of the late night show that
(28:12):
he was already doing was like probably one hundredth on
my list, you know, And like I've just always felt
like this is probably not the best use of these
people's talents. Conin's podcast is incredible, like just letting them
be very funny in ways that people it really feels
(28:33):
like we're coasting off inertia. That like these late night
shows are like phone books, you know, they're just hanging
around because they were around.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
People born in half by Miles of party drunk.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
That's right, Miles is the greatest party trick. All Right,
that's gonna do it for this afternoon. We are back
tomorrow morning with a whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself. Yeah,
get your vaccines, but you still can get your flu shot. Yeah,
don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk
to you out tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Bye bye.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
