I think is a good thing. Yeah. I think said
that the truths that were revealed during the show. We're
just too powerful in the public setting. Yeah, you know,
the plaud it in lawsuit form. Well, we are thrilled

(03:03):
to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious
host of the new podcast, The Greatest, the appropriately named
podcast The Greatest because it might be the greatest damn
podcast out there, Maggie Gayley. It's a really bold name
for a brand new but it's a reference to the

(03:25):
goat as in sports, right. But it is crazy. I'm
sure there's people making fun of us, for sure. No, no, no,
Well don't you ever don't you ever wonder who your
biggest hater is? Yes, yes, I already know someone went
to junior high school. But but it may not be
It could be someone. It could be Anna, could be
someone in your circle. You know. I didn't like to

(03:46):
I don't like to entertain ideas like that. But based
on the way she looks at me throughout the show, yep, Okay,
maybe it's Anna. I just think you gotta look close, sir.
Yeah you know? Yeah, Okay, who who's your biggest hater?
Do you know? I have an ex friend who I
do think hates me a lot. But then it's also
like there's got to be someone I see regularly who

(04:07):
also hates good at putting the mask on, and like,
I want to talk to that person because I want
to hear their opinions, because I think i'd be like,
you've got some really good points. I am involved? Self involved?
Is that? Um? Is? So? Is it mostly like industry
people you feel that? Or is like your original hater
just some person who just doesn't like see you from
middle school, not from middle school post middle school? Um? Yeah,

(04:33):
I think it's I actually think the people middle school
time or they can't even hate, you know, because it's like,
well I don't like it. Good for her, and I'll
take that. I love that. I mean, Fat Joe said
in his album Jose Jealous Ones still envy. But then

(04:53):
I'm like, maybe it's crazy that I think I have
a hater that makes me insane. Listen, I have therapy tomorrow.
Let's write that down. Yeah, Hey, this can be a
day early therapy for you. Let's let's dig into some
there to that pre fare as we call it all
the time, Megan. We're going to get to know you
a little bit better in a moment. First, we are

(05:14):
going to take our listeners through a couple of things
we're talking about today. Uh No, Iowa more like Iowa
whack as fuck? Gotcha? Iowa? Uh Don Moyne was one
of the headlines that people were I mean, people were
just it was almost like America was waiting to just

(05:35):
ship on Iowa and we shouldn't actually directed at Iowa,
to be directed at the party on those people who
are I know, the people who are caucusing, my guy.
I mean, that's that takes time, and that is one
of the most involved forms of democracy that anything that
legitimately involves a coin toss. Yeah, at some point, I mean,
those people take it seriously and it's not like they

(05:59):
don't have any to do, That's what I'm saying that,
but like they really I was listening to a different
podcast estay and this woman said that she had personally
met to every kid. Yeah, since she goes. I don't
think I met Mary and Williamson. It's like, well, if
there's one to sit out right, but I'm like, you

(06:20):
mess like that. She was going to be like I
didn't meet Corey Booker or like someone who was like
getting in the mix. But she said like the craziest
person John Delaney. Imagine five times she's like Sayer came
over for dinner. I am curious. One detail that we
learned about why they might be able to make a

(06:40):
whole night of it is that some people bring wine
to the caucuses. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about
who the just complete clusterfuck of reporting the results helps
or hurts. As as of this recording, we should say
we still have not received any results. Were recording this
a little bit. For they drop the results, we'll give

(07:04):
you a half of yeah, because they're not even gonna drop.
It's going to be like a trickle. Yeah. Well, well
we'll check back in once we know. It's like a
golden shower, but like an old man's Yeah, you want
to pressure retirement community, pressure wash my back with these results. Gross. Uh,
we're gonna talk about what this does to our faith

(07:25):
and elections. We're gonna do impeachment stuff. We're about Trump
in the conservative world are fucking spiking the football over
Trump's approval hitting forty nine nine undefeated, Okay, which is
this is the highest his approval has ever been in

(07:46):
a gallop pull. Uh. So it seems like it would
be a good sign, but when you look at overall averages,
it is still below any president in the modern era. Yeah,
but it's his best right now. Right So I'm in
a for effort cross rating on a curved clap muffers
pr We're gonna talk about Wendy's Breakfast, We're gonna talk
about Dunker Ruse, We're gonna talk about what movies are

(08:08):
coming out this year and how they might effect or
just relate to the election. All of that plenty more.
But Megan, first of all, I realized we never said
what is the greatest about? Oh The Greatest is a
sports podcast and we hosted with my husband's c J Tolatano,

(08:29):
and then we have a guest every episode. Um, it's
a weekly. We're not as devoted as your boys, so
weekly voted or just desperate just I mean, someone say deranged.
And we invite a different guests from the sports world,
comedy world, a good friend who loves sports, and we
rank and debate the greatest whatever, what it is, the

(08:51):
greatest beef we've done, Greatest duo came out today, Greatest coach,
greatest uniform, everything. So if you have ideas, please send
them to what's the greatest uniform. We haven't gotten to
that yet. We've had We've had three episodes come out
so far, and that has been greatest beef, Greatest duo,
Greatest super Bowl halftime show. Um, my greatest duo, I've well,

(09:18):
I'm my number three was definitely Peyton and Marvin Harrison.
But I did look it up because I'm I'm a homer,
and I guess I wear that with a badge of honor.
People say that like a negative thing, and it's like, no,
you should love the teams from where you're from. I
think it's crazy if you don't wrap them so like,
it's fine that this is how I am. But I

(09:38):
do cross reference when I think I'm being too much
of a homer with sports soillustratius, like I'll look at
other lists to make sure I'm not like I wasn't. Yeah,
I didn't say like Curtis Painter and yeah, because I
know that, Uh yeah, you guys got engaged in front

(09:59):
of a Reggie Miller mural. So that's just important context.
You guys are a huge You are a huge Pacers
fan and huge Indian sports fans. I mean, that's why
you're you're You're a selep to me forever. I bring
it up all the time, and people like, we don't care,
and I'm like, you should do an episode where you

(10:20):
can just name Rick Smith's as the greatest. I mean,
I just had a pilot not go and there was
a Rick Smiths joke in they don't like Dutch slander.
We don't like that take on the Dutch and like
my the guy who I write with, he's like, who's that?
And I was like, then it's perfect. That's I wanted
to be that obscared. Wasn't that Duncan dutchman? Like Shack

(10:40):
say he hated playing against Rick Smith's, Like of all
the people, he was like, you, Rick Smiths had so
fucking good for a couple of years. Yeah, He's like
I think he was seven four. He was like, yeah,
so he was one of those guys NBA players who
are over I think seven too, Like other than Shack,
who is I think just made out of different material

(11:03):
than other human beings, uh don't last very long, like
and Rick Smith's had a peek that was just He
was also pre the like European and international wave that
we see now. That's like so celebrated and amazing for
the sport. He was before all of that. So in Indiana,
I remember as a child being like, oh he's from

(11:23):
like self Bend, Like his name is Rick. Is he
Larry Bird's son? And his wife would wear overalls to
the game. I mean it was a fun time. Remember
when he shaved the head all bad look for him.
He had kind of a mullet, like my hair just
came down like hair like he just got out of bed.
He up. I don't think he had ever touched his hair.

(11:46):
He just went to get haircuts. Everyone, Shack says the
four toughest players he ever played against, Hakim the Dream, Ali,
Juan Patrick, and Rick Smith. This is a quote from Shack.
Rick destroyed me every time. Oh my god, pick him
pop jump hook in the post. I couldn't stop that kid.

(12:06):
If it wasn't for his foot problems, I probably never
would have been able to stop him. When we played
them in the two thousand finals. I had to go
back to some old tape. I saw that this guy
used to kill me, so now that I'm here in
the finals, I had to kill him immediately. So you
understands this is a different shock. Respect all big men too.
I'm surprised there's not like a little guy who annoyed Shack.

(12:28):
Yeah right, well, nobody was dumb enough to put a
little guy on check. Um, it's like how that muggsy
bogs just a little Um greatest duo was was it
Jordan Pippen or they're definitely on my list? Begrudgingly, my
husband said, Jordan's Bugs Bunny. Everybody needs to listen to

(12:55):
that show. Were cartoon characters? Oh well, when when c
J and I first started dating, his best friend said
you just like Megan because she looks like Lola Bunny.
Oh my god. And c J was like, wow, maybe
that is like I do have sort of like a
cartoon esque animal vibe to me. I've got a very

(13:18):
funny face. I'm a bunny with tits And that's what
he wanted. Yeah, and he hit the lottery. What is
something from your search history that is revealing about who
you are? Um? This was this morning? Uh? This was
um I googled if there was a way for me

(13:39):
to buy myself into Delta platinum status, probably yeah, of course, yeah,
yourself into a kidney. Yeah, but it's a lot of
money because I like missed it a little bit. But
they emailed me and they were like, you still have time, right,
you still have time to give us seven so close. Oh,

(14:00):
it's like double that. I'm really really close. But then
the thing is, this is what comedians like talk about
now when we're together. It's like, okay, but if you
have platinum and so I have heard that platinum on
Delta almost isn't even it's great, but like you're never
going to get upgraded l A to New York. You're

(14:20):
going to get upgraded like l A to Portland. And
it's like, well, that's not a laid down bed. No, No,
If a lay down bed is in play, I will
sell my family to the devil. If it's a regular
old sit sitting chair and you get a cold chicken
Caesar salad, get that ship out of here. The first

(14:41):
time I've only been in a full lay down once
I was upgraded on a flight by the grace of
our God, whoever you want to name them. In this case,
I will say weed um from Japan to Oh my God.
I was like, Yo, we're fucking of an hour's And

(15:02):
I drank port wine watching Mrs doubt Fire with a
cheese plate and I cannot believe three square. Yeah, I
haven't got visiting hours. That sounded like exactly an hour
in the in the yard. That sounded like a um,
what's his name? What's may back? Rick ross Line drinking
port wine watching Mrs d Fire? They do? They seem

(15:30):
outlier action Bronson, This is like a really nitpicky thing,
but sometimes I know they're like actual rich people do
not like when getting when Norman's walk through, you know,
but I'm so embarrassed and not rich, so I want
everyone to have to walk past me laying and you're
like yeah, I'm like get the like making eye contact

(15:52):
high out of my mind with everyone, and they're just like,
who is this? Do you think? I am crashing? Lost woman?
What do you think? What do you think? My backs?
What are The last time I flew and it was
not late on bed, it was just regular bed, but
I was wearing a brand new, like head to toe
monochromatic Nike jump sue and I was like, I bet
people think I'm a choreographer. Yeah, sneakers. I had like

(16:19):
really cute custom air max is on well, I mean
customer in the sense like flowers on them. Okay, damn,
and my husband bought them for me and he knows.
So I was like, yeah, people, I was fine. In Chicago.
I was like, people probably think I'm going in a
month thoroughly before All Star Game to choreograph the lovables,
And then I got to go back to in reality.

(16:40):
I was actually I was going by the way you
danced through that scenario, just for people to know. Live
in the isolation. What is something you think is overrated? Okay,
this may be alarming to you, guys. I think kombucha
tastes like ship. I think it's disgusted, and people have gone, no,

(17:01):
this one's good. Try this. They're all trash. Trash. Is
it the sort of vinegary aspect to it that? Of course,
it's the vinegar tastes like shit y f vinegar chips?
Why oh I love, don't come after my salt vinegar chip.
I get in the context of some of you drink right,
you might not want that little bite, but I get
it because sour tastes and a lot of like Japanese food,

(17:24):
So I get it, but I'm never seeking it. But
especially when you go out like on the East Side,
have you been to like little parties or they're like
it's all it's all boot cocktails. I'm like, no, waterfucker,
I don't want jacket. Okay, that's something that completely missed me.
They do booch cocktail out here this ship. Yeah yeah,

(17:46):
it already tastes like something that's fermented, like that went bad. Well, yeah,
you could get a little buzz, you know, if you
got like if you got the heavy kombuches, but not
like but now they're really making it a cocktails. One time,
when I was a kid, I took uh orange juice
on a camping trip. It was out in the sun.
It went bad and it like turned on it. And

(18:10):
that's what kombucha has always reminded me of, is the
taste of when I took a big old gulp of
like warm Boy Scout, prune Boy Scout Bruno. I understand
drinking it for its health benefits. I don't know what
those are. It hasn't been explained to me. But if
that's like if you're like, no, it's you know, it's
taking like a shot of wheat grass or whatever. But
when people are like, no, it's good, it's like that

(18:32):
now you've gone too far. I'm willing to meet you there.
That they're antioxidants or something. Somebody ruined uh coconut water
for me by saying that it tastes like it's been
in somebody else's mouth, and I was like, yeah, that's true.
It really does taste like it's like already just hung
around in the mouth for a little bit. And kombucha
has like a lugi in it for the most part,

(18:53):
like it has like a little piece of saliva hanging it.
What do you talk about? Have you never looked at
the komboot like, man, Because every time someone offers it
good I mean, I have a sip yo and that's it.
You would look at it and think it it is
basically like iced tea. But if you pour that ship,
there's like, yeah, it's fucking gross, nasty. Though. People in

(19:19):
the rest of the country like what are they talking? Yeah,
but we're complaining about bad first class and commuting. You
know what this is getting to know you're que and
this is what it's like. Yeah, for people, I don't
I'm sure it's everybody drinks it around the country in
some places. Yeah, it's it's just it's I'm sorry, it's

(19:41):
just the cocktails. That's when I had to draw the
line for me. I'm like, no, do not try and
make this. No but mixing as a mixer, that's disgusting.
Are you serio? Well that that segways beautifully into my underrated,
which I think that people will like because now I'm
coming back down to earth. Okay, you're to really feel
the Indiana in me. I think the most underrated drink

(20:05):
of all time is Fresca. Fresca Fresca and vodka. So,
oh my god, I cannot wait to be ninety years
old and have like at that point, I think they'll
have giant jugs of Solo cup and I'm just gonna
like sip out of it like it's gatorade on a sideline.

(20:28):
Do you how often do you drink Frocca? Um? I
mean I had like four on Sunday. No, I don't
have it as often. Delta, my airline of choice, has Fresca,
who is the parent company. Fresca is a cool I
think it's so it has to because Delta's Atlanta, Coca's Atlanta.
If they did, I'm sure that Universa is like people

(20:50):
are like Lacroix, No Fresco, zero calorie, zero sugar delicious.
It's the best mixer. Oh it's there's no that's artificial
sugar in Fresco. I don't know what the fox is
in it. Zero zero sweetener j zero calories. That's all sweetener.
Then that's the only way you get that taste delicious. Yeah.
I like the grapefruit bite of or the vague grapefruit
bite of a Presca. It's like a prickly greyhound. Yeah.

(21:14):
I love a greyhound. Yeah. See. And now now you're
talking about the workingman's grayhound Presco vodka so good. Uh?
And finally, what is a myth? What's something people think
is true? You know to be false? Billie Eilish, is
we gotta stop? She's not eighteen. I don't think that's
her brother. I'm getting there. If it is her brother.

(21:38):
If it is her brother, it's very property. Brothers vibes.
If you know what I'm hinting at, I don't know
what that means. Incest um, aren't they twins? No? Well,
that's the thing. It's a key is Oh the property
brothers are twins, and I think that they're deeply in
love with each other, like sexually. Is that why they're

(22:00):
like they all hang out together. It's like our wives
have to approve of each other because we have to
be together. Yeah, marrying a twin would be I actually
have a friend who is a twin and she married
a twin, and I actually think that's maybe the only
right way. Otherwise they shouldn't be allowed the pens right
because I have friends that are identical twins and they
have they have their distance. They don't they're not on

(22:21):
like and I you know, you see identical and they're like, no,
you're my you're my twins, so yea versus people be like, yeah,
I don't know what my sisters. My dad is a
fraternal twin and he has no idea what his brother's doing.
I mean he checks it. Like sometimes I forget their
twins because he has two other brothers and he's equally

(22:44):
if not more so. I mean, like they love each other,
but they there's definitely not like a sixth sense that
they go back and forth between them. No. I think
Billie Eilish is a day overt so give me some
what do you Obviously you've made some observations. They're writing
this music that is like, what are you talking about?

(23:05):
You at sixteen, you haven't experienced any of the things
that you're talking about. You wouldn't even like no, like
it's so it's not even like sexual. It's just sort
of like Moody that you cannot have it like Moody.
Sixteen year olds are like getting lava lamps. They're not winning,
and I know, but it's not even the level of success.

(23:29):
It's just her face is also not the face of
a sixteen year old girl we have. It's just not
she's not a child. I think we'll always do this
with young artists that come out like Lord was well, no,
but Lord looked like a little girl. I came after
Lord like your well, I know, I always was like,
Lord looks there's just like a facial structure thing. But

(23:51):
I I think we come after them, or we speculate,
because if there was an industry that would lie about
the age of a superstar, it's music for sure, for sure.
But then they were like, okay, now go out there
and say you don't know Van Halen exactly like trying
too hardly put on like really weird clothes. Every episode,

(24:14):
we're going to freak out other thirty five year olds.
And so even if she's twenty five, which I do
believe she I said, you know, we're going down, I think,
and I think they are like that will be less exciting,
and I guess that's true. But it's like we would
still like her. I think she would still win all
these Grammys and she was just three five. I do wonder, like,

(24:37):
is that something somebody could get away with today? Ah? Yeah, absolutely.
What happens when when it all comes down? Well when
would it all come down? Well, then there's a scandal,
But then we love a scandal, and so then she
gets to have a comeback. It's kind of like a
win win Rebel Wilson, And this may happen to me.
I hope not. I hope this isn't like libel or slander.
Rebel Wilson sued in Austraila in newspaper for printing I

(25:02):
believe it was her actual age, but she won the case,
so maybe it wasn't. But yeah, people trying out people's
fake ages. Yeah, I know somebody who's pretty famous who
lost about five years from when I knew them before. Yeah,
I can't wait. I can't wait to be like I
was born in I remember seeing Ghostbusters in the theater.

(25:28):
The next time you see me, I'm gonna be like
I was born post nine eleven. Remember it. I never
forget it, but I can't remember it, right, that's so funny. Okay, Boomer, Well,
Boomer is the Pacers mascot, So okay, Boomer is like,
really tough h because I love him and I'm like,
you don't need to bring my Boomer into this from him. Alright, guys,

(25:52):
let's take a quick break and when we come back,
we're gonna talk about what happened in Iowa, what is
continuing to happen in Iowa. And we're back, and here
we are in the future from when you were just

(26:15):
listening to us talk. Uh. The sixty two of results
have been released as of now, could be more by
the time you hear this. But it's Buddha Judge. Yeah,
that that's as of now. We just got the first
incremental release. But we wanted to get a little bit
uh with like having uh felt this Titanic ground swell. Uh,

(26:39):
you know, Buddha Judge in a landslide, I think is
the take away. Yeah, he's as of I think he's
ahead of Burning by like two points. So that is developing. Yeah,
but yeah, as you'll hear in the following segment, we
didn't know who had anything and to this point we
actually don't know who the declared winner is still. But

(27:00):
Washington Post has like was running some models where they
were saying it's like, uh not as like the lead
isn't as safe as you might assume based on the numbers,
Like it's an unlikely to trend in the direction that
Buddha Judge is going to open up a bigger lead
than he currently has based on you know what precincts

(27:22):
haven't haven't reported or what caucuses. Yeah, because then Sanders
is ahead in the Washington Post one bod whatever, Sanders
is a head in the in the popular vote right right,
no matter where you loos, how you cut that cake
and uh yeah, enjoy the rest of the segment. Yeah,
So what the funk happened? We're still at a stage

(27:45):
where we don't know any of the results other than
what the Sanders campaign released numbers, which those were entry poles,
like those were poles of people going in where those
are the Sanders numbers or those those are from them
from people report from inside those caucuses, internal data that
they have sent back. But Pete's camp released some internal

(28:07):
stuff too. I don't know what day released. I think
they're just lighted out Bernie's name and wrote Pete's name.
Pete good. I mean yeah, I mean even Bernie's numbers
look good for Pete in the sense that he came
in a fairly close second to Bernie and that I
can see how Pete would interpret that as uh, a win,

(28:30):
because he's just assuming that Bernie will be taken out
by the d n C in some way. So right
on Monday night, everyone's on the edge of their hemorrhoid
cushions trying to know what is happening in Iowa. By
the time they said, hey, we're gonna get a results
at this time, sucking not coming, not coming, not coming
constantly when they're coming, when they're coming, there's ship like

(28:51):
people were getting hung up on live on the air
when they're trying to call the party, like the state
Party Blitz are fucked it up. He was like and
just real quick, can you answer it? And the guy's
like wait, wait, they just actually just picked up hold
on and then like they hung up on it. That
was one of the more stressful moments of TV watching
I've ever had. Right, So, there's this moment where they said, okay,
we're not going to get any kind of announcement of

(29:13):
the winners, which caused this like second wave of like
speculating or people going out there saying, well, you know,
Bernie did the thing. We said, I have a feeling
we did very very well too, which was fine. Buddha
Judge declares victory in his own way, was like we
shocked the world, and I think, you know, people are
mad about that, but I think in terms of just

(29:34):
looking at it as you know, the game of politics
is about being opportunistic and picking your shots. If nobody
in that time period between when they said, yo, we
don't know what's going to happen with the results, a
lot of these candidates should have been out there talking.
Everyone was sort of like what so is? Who's radio
silence from a lot of people, and most I think
if you're working with a candidate, be like, yo, get

(29:55):
out there and you know, you make some headlines right now,
because nobody's part of the conversation, and I see why
Mayor Pete goes out there and says something like, you know,
we shocked the world. We we did it, y'all, because
he's looking at it. Well, you know, I'm not saying
I won. I'm sort of implying that I won, but
more it was more of a spiritual victory, like a
good achievement by their team on the ground. So it's

(30:17):
you know, I get why people are pissed, But at
the end of the day, the results will come out
eventually and you will see who won. Yeah, we just
don't know who yet. But isn't the whole point of
Iowa is you win and then you get this You
get this momentum, and then you also get a financial
boost because people are like, Okay, I'll give money to

(30:39):
that person because and so even when we do find
out eventually who won, which maybe forty to seventy two
hours after, its kind of already onto the net. Yeah,
that was Nate Silver's point. He was saying that this
might totally swing like their math on who's gonna win,
because if Iowa like it, usually the whole deal with Iowa,

(31:05):
like you said, is that it creates a It creates
momentum for the winner. For instance, they said that they
had it modeled out so that if Bernie Sanders won
and it was reported like it normally would be. Uh,
he started out at thirty one percent before the CAUCUSUS

(31:25):
they had him jumping to fifty percent to win the
nomination overall. But because it is completely blunted and like
they're basically doing a calculation to set like the other
boundary of what if Iowa was just canceled and we
never found out anything about who won, Bernie would be
down to because like he they were building in that

(31:49):
like the possibility of that wave. It seems like it
will just mean the later primaries will matter more because
it still won't have been decided. I mean, I was
canvassing this weekend. Wow, I'll hold for applause. Um, I
mean did I do? Did I do it just so

(32:10):
I could talk about on the show. Think. I mean,
that's the thing when you're out care i'mvassing, people ask
you questions and I'm here to not feel guilty, okay,
not to tell you where you're polling places. Man So,
and every single house we went to but one they
were like, we are, we don't know, we don't know
who we're voting for yet. Yeah. I mean in California.

(32:34):
This was in Monrovia, um so, a little bit east
of l A. And so these are like working class
families that are you know, every house we went to
there was like a baby cross, Like there's a people
that are like doing ship and are not on Twitter
and are not like they they didn't even know I
what was happening. And it's not like them being ignorant

(32:55):
or naive. They're working and living their lives. But they
all knew the candid. It's like and they're like I'm
leaning this way or I like this person, but they
truly had. There was not one decided voter we talked
to but one older black women who was like, I
like Elizabeth Warren and we were like, okay, thank you
by one person. Yeah. I think even with the whole

(33:15):
idea of this like bump you get from being like
announcing on the stage, I think a lot of I
felt like a lot of pundits were really leaning like,
oh this hurts Bernie a lot. This hurts him a
lot that he can't go up there and give the
because that's sort of borne out of this idea that
they're sort of placing a lot their their own created
value from being the media by being like yeah, and
then you're on TV doing this, and then that's how

(33:38):
that's how we feel important by because we allow that
to happen. Because at the end of the day, it
seems like, you know, based on how a lot of
people are talking how the results went, Bernie Sanders probably
did well in Iowa, and that I don't think, you know,
knowing that he has a ton of momentum in terms
of how he's pulling in New Hampshire, it's not like
the same I don't know if that's necessary early negative.

(34:00):
Sure he loses that like optics win, but we're if
we're talking sort of the raw data of like getting
these delegates, I think he's in a good place. Then
there's like the whole thing about Biden where they're like, well,
this helps Biden because he didn't from all from the
reporting I saw, like when people were in a lot
of these caucusing places, it was not it was a

(34:25):
little crazy, like kind of limited to the elderly. Is
there is there anything to be set because like everybody
came out of it or everyone that I'm at least
seeing on my timeline and being like mayor Pete, is
there anything strategy wise where he was like, maybe I
need to show that I'm the shadiest candidate because we're

(34:46):
probably gonna need like as as none of them have
come out and said I won except for him, and
he did all the morning shows today too, It's like, oh, yeah,
we actually do need a shitty person right at their
core to maybe beat this to play the game. Hella, hella,
shitty person. I haven't heard that said, but I had
that thought as he was like doing that, I was like,

(35:08):
this is really shrewd and probably unethical, and like the
fact that heading into the caucus he had a pull
spiked that had him not like in a good like
I think the poll was like disappointing numbers wise, and
he found one person who said that they hadn't offered
him as an option and was like, well, this pole
is invalidated, and so CNN just didn't report it. Like

(35:30):
he is working all the angles in a way that
is probably unethical, but we're going against a proven cheater. Eventually, Yeah,
he took a little page out at like a thing.
I hear a lot of Bernie supporters saying is that
he's like a c I A OP Like, uh p
it is, which I mean right, the company, the company

(35:53):
that the company that he worked for certainly has some
connections there. But again, if you were just thinking about
we need drump out of the office for the sake
of America, like you might want somebody who has some
experience doing covert your candidates be like, are you versed
in knife fighting? Yes? Yes, okay, well that definitely puts
you in the running. I mean, if you're the mayor

(36:13):
of South Bend, you're definitely first in knife Yeah. You know,
the people there are a lot of people were quick
to say that like he had something to do with
the app failing, because a lot of this has been
which is not true. I think if anyone, I forget
which campaign actually paid the most of this company, but
it's not even because they were paying to like medal
with the actual app. So the whole delay in counting

(36:37):
these the votes are counting who the delegates are going
to go to is born out of this problem where
all the people were supposed to use an app to
enter the results that would just go to a central database,
so then they can be like great, here's our digital
digitized results that we can just pull from. Because there's
three data sets that they're using, and it's it's a
new thing. Like there's the popular vote after the first alignment,

(36:59):
then the popular their vote after that, like after who's
viable and who isn't. Then like you start buying for
more people to see who can be who can make
the cut in the second alignment, just to see how
those votes were, and then from there they have to
then calculate what fraction of a delegate each each precinct
win means. So there's a lot of data going around
and this app just fucked up basically, right, And I

(37:20):
don't know what you just said, so like I can't imagine. Yeah,
I'm like, oh my god. I think the thing that
is confusing me, and probably i've heard it like kind
of referred to, is that it seems like if you
had run the election like we presumably did in the sixties,
where you took the paper ballots, you you wrote the

(37:43):
number down on a piece of paper of like how
many people were in each thing checks out drove the
ship to probably I think they had phones back in
the sixties, so maybe they didn't have to drive it,
but like before you make a claim like right, but
like you know, twenty four hours later you would have
the results. So like like if you had somebody just
sitting there with a fucking avocus just like counting all

(38:05):
the ship doing the make it even watch a YouTube
video how to learn the advocates then use that new
new knowledge, you would have the numbers by now. But
like somehow in trying to enter it into an app
that didn't work and trying to call this information and
that exists in these various locations, they are unable to.

(38:26):
There were just too many people calling that everything was
just a fucking the thing is too with this app.
They really fucking like we're relying on this thing like
like here's the new ship and when you look at
what like what people were saying, like, uh, people in
these precincts who are using the app would lose any
of the previously inputed results if they didn't keep the

(38:46):
screen open. So like there we was ship built into
the coding too. That was just like oh my god,
my screen went out and it just erased all the
inputed data. Then there was another thing going on that
a lot of people were saying that the app was
basically just slap together in the last two months. I mean,
we're just relying on like unproven technology too. And I
don't know who in the funking the d n C

(39:08):
is like, Yeah, this is a great idea, and let's
cause even more problems. The cynical version is they knew
Bernie was gonna win and they wanted to rob him
of the speech, uh to to get that sort of
momentum going. But that's I mean, you know, however you
look at it, the whole thing is just a fucking disaster.
Can I ask a question. I think of Bernie and

(39:28):
Elizabeth Says having like pretty much the same policies with
with some changes here and there, if anything. In a
lot of ways, she's actually with the gun. She's further left,
Like they're both the furthest left. So why why why
do people think that the d n C hates Bernie

(39:48):
so much more than they hate her Because he is
not a Democrat. It's not like a true democrat, He's
a democratic socialist. And I think because he's like they
see the energy has and like the attention it's bringing
real truly towards like the like wealth distribution in this
country that Elizabeth Warren is doing the same thing, but

(40:11):
she's still she's still a capitalist, and I think that's
the difference. She's like, I'm still a capitalist. I just
feel that we can have capitalism work for everybody on
the on the Bernie camp too, like no, capitalism is
the exact reason we have all these fucking problems in
terms of are like working people having no viable income,
not being paid living wages, our health care system being

(40:32):
completely in shambles. So they're diagnosing the problems differently, And
I think for other people who are firmly in the hey,
capitalism is great because the wealthy get to keep making money.
They don't like the diagnosis of the Bernie side of things,
which is like it's capital okay, okay, thank you for
clearing that. But they're still yeah. But to most people
they're like, well yeah, they're arguing for like like let's

(40:55):
try and wipe out some of the student debt, let's
get everybody ensured. But there are some things where you know,
people who support Bernie Sanders wish Elizabeth Warren goes a
little bit harder on. But that's where she can't quite
move because at the end of the day, She's like, well,
I still believe in the markets, and I still believe
in you know, people in these boardrooms somehow doing the
right thing, even though there's no historical evidence that would

(41:18):
confirm that. But I guess if they build enough structure
around capitalism, they can make it work for people. Okay, Um,
so we we already kind of covered everything there is
to cover about the Trump's approval popping to By the way,
we are going to check back in and uh with
once we have the results from Iowa, or at least

(41:38):
the partial results from Iowa. Um, there is a drill
in the background that is the d n C. They're
doing everything in their power to just get to those results. Um.
Did you guys see the Ben Carson photo? Yes, it
made me laugh. People leaven Iowa and they've all got

(42:02):
red hats on and they're all in seats. But then
for some reason Ben Carson is like kneeling in the
middle of the aisle or they just like needed him
to be like, come on, Ben closer, we actually need
to see you. But yeah, I mean he definitely had
a seat. Who I don't know if version is like, hey,

(42:23):
get our token in there, that's what it looks like.
I don't even think that's the cynical version. I think
that's the truthful version. I don't know why I give
like white supremacy a chance. Sometimes I'm like, well, I
think you're giving Ben the benefit of the doubt, right, well,
and then Karina what's her face Pearson or whatever is
sort of in the same area. I mean, wow, their

(42:43):
center framed. Wow, Wilbur Ross with the hat on what swag?
I know, he looks great. I mean I think that's
the big takeaway from that picture, Wilbur Ross. I mean,
actually Ben Carson is quite literally the focal point of
this and he actually like looks and vibrant and pretty. No,
but I mean, like even the way like I'm just
thinking as a photographer, like with your aperture, like your

(43:05):
depth of field is actually you're adjusting it. So he
is in the most in focus in the photo, which
I don't think anyone on the Trump campaign is like
good at taking photos. So I don't think that was
on purpose. Well, but I do think his placement was
on purpose. A lot of people benefit from being slightly
out of focus to it helps sort of obscure there.
Maybe that's why I'm like he looks so good, but

(43:26):
it does look like they just photoshopped him into the
middle of a picture. But I'm just trying to say
there are fun things happening. There's been some fun moments. Yeah,
And I think all this to say, right, I know,
there's just from working on campaigns and and things of
this nature, when there's so much anticipation built up for
these days where all of your work is hinging on

(43:47):
these couple hours on a Monday or Tuesday. Um, and
you know, when you do all your work, you start caucusing,
you get all your work done, and then you feel like, fun,
yeah we did it. And to not have that moment
where you can say, hell, yeah we did that, really
my heart goes out to everybody in every campaign because
that's why a lot of the times you you have

(44:08):
those moments that sort of energize you. Um. And So
I don't want to take anything away from the people
of Iowa, but my god, the fucking party really showed
how just out of fucking sorts they are. Last night.
I was thinking that it felt like a high school
play opening night, and the first scene of the play,
the entire set fell down right or like CNN was

(44:32):
losing their ship. Like if you change the MSNBC, they
were just kind of like what the hecks going on?
Yeah they were MSNBC was kind of going with the flow,
like yeah, but this isn't the end of the world.
But CNN like, for whatever reason, just could not deal
with their ship. They were losing it. We are also,
rightfully so hypersensitive. We just had a major foreign enemy

(44:55):
interfere with an election, and now the first part of
election feels like a giant debacle, and so it's almost
impossible to not get overly like, oh my god, it's
happening again. We're terrified. We're so scared um of losing
and of something going wrong, and this like plays into

(45:17):
their hand. But it's like it's okay, it's February. We've
got time to go. But then you just start like,
oh the d n C is can we get queer either,
Like they need help, they're just clout Something Something we
talked about on Tuesday's episode even is that like so
much of the coverage is about the horse race. It's like, well,

(45:39):
but this our coverage will then influence the coverage, which
will influence like who wins. And it's like it's not
examining what the leadership of any of these candidates would
mean for the country. When you go back to like
the fact that this is a major scandal, it's really
just like the news cycle is delayed twenty four hours,
like it shouldn't necessarily like it's a news story about

(46:02):
the news story. Essentially, it's like, well, now, like the
whole impact is gonna be blunted because now we're freaking
out about this. Yeah, it's like, okay, okay, you are right,
you're freaking out about this. I like the people you
were canvassing talking to probably don't give a shit about this. Um,
but this is a massive story, and he gave the
conservative media a nice chance to, you know, make fun

(46:24):
of Democrats. The average voter is gonna say, like, oh man,
what happened in Iowa? Well there goes Bernie's post. Iowa kid,
he's gone, And that only pundits talk about. And I
get why they talk about it, because the media does
inform so many people's opinions about things. But like, hey,
just just let just let them happen as they're going

(46:47):
to happen. Yeah, alright, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back and we're back. Uh and super
producer Ana Hosnie is getting major dental work done. That
is the sound you hear in the background. So um oh.

(47:09):
One thing we didn't cover in the IOWA piece was
the woman who smuggled a bottle of wine into the
fucking gym and then dropped it and it shattered. I've
had to smuggle it like it was an episode of
the Office, Like it's just amazing being anything like that.
Why would you bring red wine, ma'am? You're gonna have
purple tea. You're gonna walk up and did you eat

(47:34):
a pack of blueberries? Get out of here, you gotta
if you're trying to smuggle wine in. Yeah, I'm I
was young, but now I'm club char So guys just
coming in here and they're gonna get vibele. I think
they should be allowed to drink. Oh yeah, fuck yeah,
I think. I mean, I think because it's a school,
I think the process kind of. I'm assuming because I

(47:58):
didn't understand the IOWA call because is before last night,
because I was like, why would everybody set aside a
night to go stand in a crowded room with a
bunch of strangers and talk about like politics. That sounds
like a fucking nightmare. But if they're drinking, if they're
smuggling bottles of wine, like that makes more sense. It's like, oh, yeah,

(48:18):
that would actually be okay sweet. There's something sweet about
like a process. I think, I actually and I know
everyone's like, do away with it, and it's like, yeah,
but I do like the idea of like you and
your neighbors being in the high school gym together. Let's
just not do it as the first one that maybe
not a caucus, maybe we turned it into like a
jump rope for life, but I still like the concept absolutely. Um.

(48:44):
We also didn't talk about impeachment stuff, which is progressing
along absolutely nothing nowhere. But it just seems like the
Republicans are sticking at it was bad but not impeachable. Okay,
that's one excuse. He didn't do anything wrong. The Democrats

(49:04):
in the House are the are evil, and the Democrats
in the House didn't actually prove anything. Those are those
are those are the four buckets, and they're all making
them all at the same time, even though they're logically contradictory.
I remember when Derschowitz, his like new thing was like well,

(49:26):
every candidate thinks them being elected is in the public
ins and I was like, oh, this and they need
to be like I didn't really mean that, never mind,
I don't want to smoke. Yeah, and then he was
like immediately taken off, like out of the Senate. Just
argued that the present anything well, he basically argued, anyone
who's running for any public office means whenever there's a drought. Sorry,

(49:53):
I forgot what the rest of that lyric was. I
was gonna say it, and then uh, yeah, I mean,
gets your umbrellas up, because that's what fuck. Uh yeah,
I mean he what he argued was that Nixon, like
Nixon could have done Watergate. Yeah, like that Watergate. Come on, guys,

(50:15):
leave Nixon alone. Now that now that it's more than
likely that yeah, I mean, it's pretty much a nailed
on certainty that the Senate is just gonna disgrace themselves
and to quit the president. Trump is more focused now
on phase two, which this is out of vanity fair. Uh.
There are some Republicans are being interviewed anonymously. This one

(50:36):
Republican prominent Republican said it's payback time. He has an
enemies list is growing by the day. I mean in
high school, this would get you expelled, right, an enemies list,
he's got a burn but um so apparently it's Adam Schiff,
Jerry Nadler, Mitt Romney, and John Bolton. Stormy's nowhere on there, no, no,

(51:00):
and the A lot of people are saying he's going
to try and go up Bolting so hard like he's
trying to get him in jail. So yeah, yeah, good
grasp on the law. Will you tell me the enemy's
list again? I'm so sorry just visualizing him right it
with like a dull pencil sift. Okay, Jerry Nadler, Mitt Romney,

(51:21):
and Jean Bolton. Uh yeah, I can't wait to see
what he does to those people. Yeah, watch him abuse
his power further, right, even to people within his own party,
and watch they're going to be like, well, you know,
Mitt Romney was never a Republican, he was actually socialist,
but he was your nominee for presidents. Actually, no, I

(51:43):
don't know that because you want to get he want
to get strump, so that means he's actually can't. Yeah.
I keep assuming that, like, well, now they're going to
really crow when they see, like how funked up his
abusive power are and like they just don't maintain my
dad just so scared of him. Yeah, that, and they
have to maintain this slim minority power that they have

(52:06):
or there it's gonna be lost to fucking progress essentially. Yes, no,
it's complete disaster backsliding. Uh, let's talk about Wendy's Breakfast. Okay,
thank god, let's switch gears to something really invigorating. I
love a good fast food breakfast. Okay, Mickey D's is
still my number one, but Wendy's is out here. As

(52:28):
they say, they are unleashing new breakfast materials I did
not know about. Now some people apparently may have been
in limited markets, but this new ship, Um, I'm just
looking at this bacon eader breakfast sandwich. It looks like
a guaranteed heart attack by bye three. What about it?
Makes it a breakfast sandwich, the bacon eader breakfast because

(52:49):
it has egg and a sausage patty, but then everything
else bacon no, no, no no. And it's on a
burger bun though, yeah, huh, what about the so that's
a biscuit that has fried chicken on it? Did I
hear it has bacon it's breakfast. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, well
it's like a chicken biscuit, you know. That's that's that's

(53:10):
that's that's how we navigate that one. What I mean?
I love the context. Did I hear they were going
to be doing frosties with cold brew? Yes? Did you
didn't a frosty hear that? Yes? It is? What? Oh wait?
Actually no, the bacon eater is has a bacon, a
burger patty and it pardon me, pardon it just has
an egg. And they're like, breakfast. That's breakfast, bro blow

(53:32):
it out with that. But then the other ones you
can use traditional breakfast meats. But yeah, the frosty Chino. Yeah.
I I found out about Wendy's Breakfast because I had
a friend who auditioned to be the voice of it.
And she's like, I'm auditioning to be the voice of
Wendy's Breakfast, And I was like, what the funk? Why
didn't I get asked audition? So Wendy's Breakfast is like

(53:52):
started off on a bad foot with me, not that
secret hater. So you're someone's secret hater. Do you want
a bacon eater? Like, I'm clearly not the voice I
don't know, a frosty with coffee, you dumb piece of ship.
I'm sorry, Megan. Can we try that one more time
and just stick to what's in the sides there? Bacon eadar? Great?

(54:14):
Do you wish that the frosty would make you have
to ship incredibly immediately speed home? Yeah? How will they
be dipping tater tots? Yeah? French toast. I'm sorry, I
have to just the bacon eader does have a sausage patty,

(54:35):
the breakfast bacon eader. So it is they're trying to
They're trying to respect the sanctity of this is like
the Iowa caucuses. You never reporting on. This is just
back and forth. We're just we're hearing. And they do
predict that this will contribute to a ten percent growth
in sales. Okay, great March second, uh dunk a rus back? Yo.

(54:57):
I didn't. First of all, I didn't know they ever left.
Apparently they these ships were canceled in. I think we've
just not been up the age. Yeah, I mean, first
of all, did you everyone here engage in dunker ruing strategy?
You had what was your strategy? So my strategy for
dunker ruse and for like the snacks that were the

(55:18):
cracker with the crack with the red classic thing that
you could cut your you could slash somebody's face with.
But my strategy was go light early and bulk up
at the end. Yeah. Yeah, we all have that deferred
gratification the same way lunchables two. I'm like, I would
eat a couple of light ones just for the end
to be like yo, bro, I mean a fucking fistful

(55:38):
of um so dunker ruse. They're coming back in. And
really the only reason I want to bring this up
was to find out everyone's dunker reo eating strategy. Sometimes
I would fucking eat all the cookies and leave too
and try and just get my last two, just pure
diabetic shock. Yeah, but sometimes do you have to use

(55:59):
your finger everything you can? Yeah? Oh yeah, um alright,
well shout out from Betty Crocker. I didn't realize that
was a Betty Crocker product. They were probably just like
we got all this extra frosting, frosting and the factory
can you put it somewhere like yeah, these to go?
Yeah right, I mean, oh boy, So I mean everyone

(56:23):
get high and get you dunkerles. I recently saw at
like one of those coffee shops that's like an artismal
coffee shop. Adult lunchables No, yeah, what you mean what
that means? It was just a like cheese and cracker package,
but they called it adult No, no, I swear to
god they called it adult lunchables. Yeah, what is it? Like?
It was the one of our Portland hotel Like they

(56:45):
had it listed as adult lunchables and it was just
a shirkutere plate with cheese and crackers. What a quaint
way to describe fancy love it. It's more of an
adult lunchable. We want to make it accessible. But I
mean that was one of the most profitable products of
the nineties. I can only imagine that was their margins

(57:06):
on that. Oh my god, fuck fucking trash. Feed your kids, trash,
feed your kids, trash. Did you ever eat the pizza ones? No? Man,
do you eat the taco bell ones? Yes? They had
taco bell like where the meat came in a fucking packet.
Oh yeah, I had that. I wait, it had like
the the red meat. The demon came in like a

(57:29):
salad dressing pack. You can get nachos like beef or
no tacos, beef taco and Ship and and then it
was like a little saltsu uh, let's look at what
movies are coming in that might have a political political
influenced political ramificational, sonic, iconic. Obviously. I think people are

(57:53):
predicting that Jim Carrey as Dr robot Nick is going
to swing the election. Oh absolutely, yes. Do you think
he's a Bernie bro Yeah, I think I think he's
going to remind a lot of people. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
he's just trying to tear the system down, you know.
Uh Now, this is a thing that our writer Jay
McNabb put together just kind of looking forward, that this

(58:14):
is something I hadn't remembered. So ahead of the twelve election,
people were saying that Steven Spielberg held back the release
of Lincoln, the you know, Lincoln biography because it was
like too reminiscent of Obama. Basically, it was like two

(58:36):
influenced by Obama, and like they thought it was going
to swing the election for Obama, so they held it
back until after the election, which seems fucking times we
lived in. I know they might be reminded of Obama.
Why why didn't Spielberg want Well, you know, I'm sure

(58:57):
he's friends with Mitt Romney. They were I went on
vacation together. When you're so rich man, there's no such
thing as party. A certain point, you're like, yeah, due,
it's the other billionaires, other ris guy. Yeah. But I
mean maybe because I think this is a world to
where people were trying to be decent and they're like,
I don't even want the seeming impropriety of putting it
out so close to the election, but like, let's right, yeah,

(59:19):
yeah it was. It was at a time when people
still were not eve enough to think that you could
have a objective election that wasn't biased, or where one
side wasn't using undue influence to get people to vote.
Are there any like political porns? Um? Yeah, deep Throat, Well,

(59:40):
I guess Deep Throat wasn't a political porn. Watergate was
a porn political scandal because they were using the Watergates
a p video. Right to check out, there's also um
Naylan Palin. I believe that came out to and that
was just a woman with glasses, with glasses with her

(01:00:01):
hair up, and I believe she the male performers in
the video were dressed like Russian guys because she was
like I can see Russia from my house and then
the Russians come through and they're like, let us fuck. Actually,
Tina Fay said I can see Russia from my house.
Everybody imprinted that onto that or she said something. Yeah,
she worked closely with Russia. Anyway, the Russia connection. You
can see Russia from some parts of Alaska, which is true. Yes,

(01:00:24):
that's true. But everybody needs to leave Sarah Palin alone. Okay,
great leader. Um sorry no, no, I was just gonna
keep listening political points. But yeah, yeah, um Russia. Limbaugh
saw The Dark Knight Rises, which features a villain named
Bain as a slight towards Mitt Romney because of being

(01:00:47):
capital even though Bain in that movie attacks the stock
market and steals everybody's money and you know, tears down
the fabric of society, which couldn't be further from Mitt Romney.
And also Baying was created in um that other minor thing.
So we also have like the ideas like that's they're

(01:01:08):
taking shots at Mitt Romney because that guys, that's pure,
Like Mitt Romney would be lucky to be as cool
as Maness. I mean those those dots. Rush Limbo is
connecting and a lot of conservative pundits do when they
try and be like, we're victims of this media thing
would be great like improvisers, like seeing them come out
of norm, like they've had podcasting for three decades, like

(01:01:31):
they've had they've had Joe Rogan, They've had their Joe
Rogan for three decades. It's just, you know, people who
are professional bullshitters. But it's like, why don't you guys
make good movies? Then why don't you? No one is
forcing you to make dog movies. You have taken on
dog movies as your cause. You could also be making

(01:01:53):
Academy Award films, but you're not cool or good. So
we're gonna do it. And then if you don't like it,
that's fine, go watch your weird fucking dog movies. What
do movies? Well? There? Well, I feel like every dog.
Every Jesus movie has a dog in it. Is that true?
I don't know every Jesus movie because sometimes I think

(01:02:14):
I go see bad. I go to the theater a lot.
I love it as in theater. I movie theater of
the theater. So I go to the movie theater and
I see a lot of ship and so I get
a lot of bad previews, and so you'll be watching
and you'll you'll get like thirty seconds in and you're like,
this is a Jesus movie. What's a Jesus movie? Um,

(01:02:35):
A kid falls through the ice, a dog is reincarnated.
Um yes, Greg Canear is in. It is helping at
a soup kitchen and is nice to a black man,
and the black man is Jesus. Yeah, Okay, I know
what it's a lot of There is a light. There

(01:02:57):
might be a corn field very well, a basketball that
could be baseball. Like it may sound obscure what I'm naming,
but when you see it, you're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
it evokes, like, you know, reverence to a higher power.
A flag camo es. Uh. So people in the tradition

(01:03:22):
of Steven Spielberg having a vaguely political movie coming out
the year of an election, people are saying that West
Side Story, which is his movie coming up in could
end up being that this year. It's like sixty years old.
Here comes the musical most story of Puerto Rican immigrants,

(01:03:42):
even if the original is cartoonishly stereotypical and full of whitewashing.
Uh That's why, like Rita Moreno, I think like had
notes for him. Yeah, and he was like, I will
take this on board. And he was like, okay, fair, fair,
this is uh huh. I didn't think this might be problematic. Um,
They're is a new political satire directed by John Stewart

(01:04:03):
that is literally about the election. Uh. This time it's
a small town mayoral election, uh and competing party political consultants,
and hopefully it's not Hopefully it's more like the voice
he used on The Daily Show and less like his
rally to restore sanity at the end of the Bush administration,

(01:04:25):
which was the I mean, who is there any effect
that these films have? Really No, it's just like I
don't know. I mean maybe we we we I guess
you never know. You never know. Some people might see
that be like you know what, this West Side Story
just humanized the Puerto Rican experience from think conservatives go

(01:04:48):
to these types of movies, you know, Like I remember
seeing Moonlight like two weeks after the election, and it
like so deeply, deeply affecting to me, and I was like, God,
I hope these motherfucker see this movie. And it's like
they're going to see right, there's no way they're seeing
Doolittle five times again. Yeah, well that was actually the

(01:05:12):
next movie I was going to talk about Doolittle. People
are saying is going to swing the election four No. Uh,
there's a movie, a series actually called A Higher Loyalty,
based on the book by James Comey. Jeff Daniels stars
as Comy. Brendan Gleason stars as Trump. Yeah. Uh that

(01:05:34):
that book just too good an actor comy getting deals?
Who then is his age? Yet? I know? Well, it's
because it's he's like the one conservative who steps out
of line and like, does quote unquote the right thing?
And did he did anyone else remember him? Exactly? What
I'm saying. The way they look at is everything's erased
when you speak out against Trump. Apparently it's like, oh yeah,

(01:05:57):
we'll forget everything. The other weird ship John in his
our Hero Has anyone told O j that? Yeah? I
mean there's some people out here. He's like, I don't
agree with President Trump. Oh my god? Ay Twitter world
yours truly? Uh? I think Trump sucks? Who um. Horror

(01:06:18):
movies also usually good reflections of our current cultural anxieties,
like with the torture porn craze during the invasion of
iraq uh. And we've got a few slightly political ones.
First of all, we have a new Purge coming, which
the Purge that came out in actually like predicted, like

(01:06:39):
there was a debate between a Republican and Democrat where
they wore the exact same suits that Trump and Hillary
war during their first debate, except the movie came out
or was made before the debate, so it was like
they just somehow, I'm telling you, man Zyge eerily possible. Yes. Yeah,

(01:07:02):
we're also getting a candy Man reboot produced by Jordan
Peel Candy candy Man. Have you? I recently, like over Halloween,
went back and watched a bunch of these and Candy
Man is an insane film. I think we were young
enough when it came out that it was like, oh,
this is scary. There is wild ship happening, and they're like,
I can't handle this. It's so crazy. Um, and there's

(01:07:26):
so many different levels and layers, and it's very sort
of feminist and also yeah, well I mean it's it's
feminis it's it's not feminist because candy Man is also
trying to like sexually assault this woman. But I guess

(01:07:47):
it being like he's Bad is at least feminist. I
don't know if it passes the Bechtel test. I'm gonna
guess no, because Candy Man comes on a lot and
Man and it is in his name. But it's a disgusting,
crazy movie and I can't wait. I do remember it's

(01:08:07):
one of the only horror movies from that I remember
from my childhood being set in an urban location like right,
it was usually like horror movies were usually set out
in the wilderness or something. Um And apparently so this
new Jordan's Peel reboot is going to somehow be tackle

(01:08:29):
the themes of gentrification, so that should be interesting. Um
and Disney is releasing their live action Mulan, which I
think might just be purely to rattle Mike Pence, who,
as we've mentioned before, hates He wrote that in an

(01:08:50):
op ed in my hometown newspaper That's where that Mulan
opinion came out. Live action Aladdin was one of the
worst movies I've ever seen, and I actually found it
to be racist as well. But the previews for live
action Mulan look beautiful and good, and guy Richie did
not do it, so I have hope. Um. Well, Megan,

Iowa caucus. Yeah. Is there a tweet or some other
work of social media you've been enjoying? Okay, so I

(01:10:16):
really loved and this was an interview, I guess, but
then they tweeted about it. Michael Bloomberg got a dig
on Trump that was so good. He was being asked, um, like,
do you really think people want to just see you
two go back and forth? Is the American public really

(01:10:37):
interested in watching two billionaires fight? And he goes to billionaires?
Who's the other billionaire? It's on. I retweeted it and
I really like, I was like, okay, I'm a Bloomberg bitch.
